Hi guys! In a span of about one week, two new creatures have arrived in ARK! Gigantopithecus arrived in v201, while Doedicurus rolled in to the game in v202! Both updates brought in other cool things as well, like a mysterious new species of plant that actually attacks intruders!
-------------------------
In v201, the main feature that was introduced was Gigantopithecus! This Bigfoot-like creature can be tamed non-violently, and survivors can ride on its shoulders and be thrown up high by it! Also, it can wear headgear, and autonomously gathers Fibre while wandering!
Scuba gear also arrived in this update, allowing survivors to explore the depths of the ocean with proper equipment that prolongs their oxygen levels, enhancing vision, and more!
-------------------------
In v202, Doedicurus arrived! It is a very well-armoured animal, having a large hard shell on its back to protect it from predators. In fact, it retreats into a ball when facing attackers! It also has a extremely powerful spiked tail, which can shatter the largest of rocks, as well as devastate the fiercest of enemies. Like Gigantopithecus, it harvests Stone autonomously when not being ridden. Additionally, riders can 'shell-charge' on Doedicurus, where it curls into a nearly indestructible ball and rolls rapidly!
The mysterious Plant Species X dropped in to the game in this update as well! It is grown in Crop Plots like other plants, but becomes an organic automated turret when it matures! It is an excellent choice for base defence, and is especially deadly towards flying enemies!
The Spray Painter is another new item in this patch! It allows for convenient bulk painting of objects!
Survivors riding Pteranodons can now do a barrel roll! In fact, it is a powerful attack and speed boost, activated by using the Crouch button, which is the C key by default!
Additionally, survivors must now be of level 40 and above to be able to tame Gigantopithecus, at least non-violently. This leads up to the introduction of a non-violent Taming Skill, which will arrive in time to come!
-------------------------
Mesopithecus, Smoke Grenades, DX12 support and another SotF event will be arriving this weekend!
