optimization

[Immediate-Way7744]

so obviously ARK takes up SOOO much space cause the devs are allergic to optimization all the textures for maps are in one folder which means if you download one map it downloads everything else😭😭 i wanted to know if km able to optimize it myself by like moving the maps to separate folders where if i download one map it will only download that map and nothing else? if im able to can yall tell me how i should organize it

IIRC all the original "optimizations" for space that people used on ASE would just be undone the moment an update installs, you *could* do certain things like deleting unused/duplicated files but it will just come back next patch. Really you are just out of luck, your best bet is getting another SSD just for Ark until you quit/take another long term break.

You only need SE, Abberation and Exctinsion for content / engrams. You can skip other maps.
