PixARK Patch 1.69



Greetings, Explorers!

The next PixARK update is scheduled to go live at 2:00 am PDT on September 29. Official Servers will be offline for a few hours or less.


New Items

Added Obelisk Chamber Portal (aka ARK Lab Portal), which will randomly spawn in all Skyward biomes at noon server time every day. The Portals will last for 12 hours before they despawn and they will respawn at another random location at noon the next day. The requirement for accessing the ARK Lab Portal to start the dungeon challenge is the same as initiating it via the three Obelisk terminals.


Balancing and Changes
  • Servers no longer share a unanimous cooldown on Obelisk Chamber dungeon challenge and Cobaltstar UFO dungeon Challenge. Instead, the cooldown will be labeled in each individual player, meaning as long as the player enters the dungeon/challenge, the cooldown will be effective upon that player, and the player won’t be able to enter the dungeon/challenge again until the cooldown is over.
  • Resource stored in Tek Storage Box can now be recognized by workbenches when players want to craft items in them.
  • The amount of available slots in the Tek Feeding Trough is increased to 150.
  • Increased the damage Rocket Propelled Grenade, Fire-type Rocket Launcher Grenade, Ice-type Rocket Launcher Grenade, and Poison-type Rocket Launcher Grenade do on Tek Forcefield.
  • Increased the damage Tek Grenade does on Auto Turret.
  • Tek Grenade could no longer be automatically intercepted by the Auto Turret



Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue wherein some cases wearing Tek Chestpiece would grant players the ability to utilize Tek Chestpiece’s flying mode without consuming Tek Energy Cube.
  • Fixed an issue wherein some cases wearing the Tek Gloves would allow the players to get stuck in the flying mode and never land.
  • Fixed an issue wherein some cases holding the Tek Shield once would allow the players to no longer receive damage from attackers’ ranged weapon without the need to constantly holding the Tek Shield.
  • Fixed an issue where some tames could not use the Tek Feeding Trough to get feed.
  • Fixed an issue where Pixblocked bone dinos did not show up in the Pixblock Container.
  • Fixed an issue where the Central Control Unit that is powered by a Tek Generator would not function as designed.
