ARK: Survival Evolved News

What an interesting discovery, can anyone guess what this creature might be?



Hacks/Exploits

Abuse of game mechanics, such as meshing and duping, are being reported at a higher frequency. As always, we will continue to implement changes to address any methods we have been able to reproduce. Please continue to report any known methods via the ticket system.

Enforcement

With the increase of reports, the enforcement team has been tasked with a larger number of tickets. This backlog of requests prevented our enforcement team from acting quickly to incidents that were being reported. We've made a considerable dent in the backlog and hope to improve our response time to incidents that are reported.

Events

If there's something you'd really like to see in events (regular and holiday), check out the thread and weigh in!



The Enforcement Team are back again with another important notice regarding the Code of Conduct:

We're making the final preparations for a client and server-side update that will bring Genesis Chronicles to survivors on PC, Xbox, and PS4! Leading up to the release of Genesis we will begin to include Genesis-related Explorer Notes on The Island, Scorched Earth, and Aberration.

Survivors with the cosmetic HLN-A will find some explorer notes provide a glimpse of what to expect in the forthcoming Genesis expansion -- and how it all fits into the larger ARK story.

If you want to unlock a new set of skins for your armor, be sure to collect them all!





How perplexing, who can guess what this might be?

Finally, We have three new projects joining the Sponsored Mod Program today! We have a pretty interesting range of mod types this time for creatures and a utility mod for builders!


Clockwork Creatures

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1819883361

Mechanical steampunk beasts are on the loose! If you are a fan of the steampunk aesthetic, check out this mod which adds a range of new creatures to the game, with more brass than you can shake a stick at.


ARK Transcendence

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1785800853

Do you wish that ARKs creatures had a bit more personality to them? This mod introduces new behaviors to the natural residents of the ARK. The number of creatures it modifies right now is relatively small, but the author is working to expand that.


Structure Saver 2

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1757259514

Just got done building the perfect house and then found a better place to build? Maybe you just want ten more of that house?
This mod will let you do that, allowing players to save constructions and place them elsewhere.

Happy Modding!
