Game Update v219

Hi guys! Creature Breeding is finally here!
v219 brought in the first phase of breeding, which covers egg hatching! We are expecting the next phase, mammal pregnancy, to be implemented next week 

The humongous Mosasaurus is also roaming the depths now! It is even larger than Elasmosaurus, and has a Platform Saddle as well!

Survivors can now sit on chairs and benches!

The regular saddle for Quetzalcoatlus has been added!

Crafting costs for Tranq Darts have been reduced, and their Torpidity effect has been boosted!

Damage for both Shotguns have been increased!

This weekend, we are looking forward to Trophy Displays for Alpha Kills and Artifacts, War Drums, and the RP-Cooking System!

ARK Digest #18 Highlights

Hey guys! Some cool news was revealed today, including a preview of the upcoming Halloween event, ARK: Fear Evolved! Spookiness awaits! :D


The event will begin around one week before Halloween! On the island, temperatures will drop, nights will be longer while days will be shorter, and the moon will turn red. Carvable pumpkins will grow, and bats and other spooky creatures will start to appear above-ground, where they usually do not live!

The mythical beast, DodoRex, will also be making its first special appearance, with an army of bloodthirsty zombie Dodos. If you ask me, I think DodoRex might be tameable... ;)

Survivors can also find limited edition Halloween-themed items!

Halloween can't come any earlier!

Game Update v218

Hey guys! v218 was just recently deployed, and with it arrived many long-awaited things!

First off, the great Quetzalcoatlus, behemoth of the skies, is finally here! With it comes the Platform Saddle that survivors can use to build mobile air bases on!

With the new Sniper Rifle, comes two new ammo types, Advanced Sniper Bullets as well as Tranquilliser Darts. This provides more ways for survivors to knock out and hunt animals!

Elevators can now be locked and pin-coded!

The default sail on the Raft can now be removed!

Sarcosuchus is now able to swim in the shallow swamps, making them especially speedy and deadly.

The Holo Scope can be equipped on the Fabricated Pistol!

Megapithecus and Broodmother have been added to SoTF, and they, along with the Dragon, are all tameable!

This is a great update, and I'll be hunting down Quetzalcoatlus as soon as possible!! ;D

Dino Dossier - Pachyrhinosaurus


Hey guys! The month-long hiatus is over! Phew, finally done with exams! :D

Brontosaurus AND Elasmosaurus both have Platform Saddles already, while Quetzalcoatlus and its Platform Saddle are right on the horizon! Paraceratherium was also recently added into the game, with survivors being able to build on it using a smaller Platform Saddle, for a slightly lower-level and faster land base as compared to using Brontosaurus!

Anyway, a lot of content has been pushed out in the past month, and while I won't be posting Highlights of past updates and Digests, we will be resuming from here on out!

This little gem was revealed just a bit more than a week ago! A smaller cousin of Triceratops, Pachyrhinosaurus has a bizarre array of horns on its frill, but lacks any for use as defensive weapons. It is not totally defenceless, however, as it possesses the ability to release chemicals to affect the behaviour of surrounding creatures!
