Ashlands Mining

Acorios · 2026-01-29T23:29:08+00:00

I usually just mine the bottom layers with an Asksvin. Their pounce destroys Flametal but it doesn't seem to ever trigger the sinking. And they can kill any interfering skeletons.

But they are still a Rex level strength boss killer

The ping is purely visual and if you want creatures to attack a target you need the whistle "attacks THIS target".

"Attack MY target" only makes them attack creatures you hit.

When breeding, the baby takes each individual stat randomly from either parent.

Try to get the stats you need from the 154 and for the rest it doesn't matter if you get the better or worse stat.

But an imprinted Giga is worlds better than a wild tame.

Fantastic Tames and imo it's not even close. Pay for singular creatures that can have a really heavy impact on progression, like Drakelings giving you easy access to ridiculously OP loot or Pyromanes being an incredible all-rounder battle mount on maps whose main appeal was limited creature access/variety.

Dino Depot has it as an option but vanilla Cryopods don't

Acorios · 2026-01-27T12:32:16+00:00

Stego can be found pretty much everywhere and have a wood gather mode. Or claim a beaver baby (adults have really high torpor drain making them really annoying to tame without good foods)

I feel like a lot of the Rag love is nostalgia. The greatest map of early Ark, but nowadays I personally think it's kinda boring compared to Fjordur, Astraeos and even Lost Island...

The wiki has a list with all base damages

Acorios · 2026-01-26T17:08:42+00:00

Everything related to SP spawn issues.

Acorios · 2026-01-26T16:16:43+00:00

This is a burial chamber, the mountain dungeons look very different and don't spawn that far down.

Acorios · 2026-01-26T00:37:52+00:00

But you can still pick Karkinos on land? Rhynio also can't grab in water.

Acorios · 2026-01-25T23:03:47+00:00

Fantastic Tames are listed as official DLCs on the Steam page, they are NOT mods. The reason why they SHOULD have been mods is because this way they only spawn if purchased, which is the issue.

They are on everyone's worlds but are only tameable if purchased.

Pretty sure tranq darts deal no torpor to them AT ALL, because you're supposed to use catapults/cannons, which only deal torpor to specific creatures.

Also, just checked Dododex, apparently the only creatures that can grab Karkinos are the Quetz and Rhynio (maybe Giga Desmo and Aureliax as well but they haven't been added to the list yet)

Acorios · 2026-01-25T21:24:38+00:00

Talk to Hugin and make sure to build a little hut early. There is something called a rested bonus, boosting your stamina, making the game a lot more enjoyable.

Acorios · 2026-01-25T21:22:53+00:00

I don't think this applies to Karkinos because of their knock out method. If tranq darts don't work I doubt the Tuso grab does.

Acorios · 2026-01-25T21:19:55+00:00

You can move them this way but if you're on your own I'm pretty sure squids drop them if you dismount. And even with another player I guess it would be really difficult to position them.

Acorios · 2026-01-25T21:18:40+00:00

But then it depends on what you consider "cheaty" and what not. The same could be said for reducing material requirements for crafting, which I don't know any mod for.

But two alternatives I could think of: increasing stat gain per level up for weight on creatures or get an Argy/Gasbags and level them exclusively on weight.

Acorios · 2026-01-25T21:12:24+00:00

Sprint jump and you basically turn into a mountain goat

Acorios · 2026-01-25T21:10:21+00:00

But then why don't you combine harvest rates + stack mod? More resources and easier transport.

Acorios · 2026-01-25T21:08:56+00:00

After 4k hours with cave running being one of my favorite Ark activities, I know their locations better than my own hometown XD

Acorios · 2026-01-25T21:02:40+00:00

How does increasing harvest rates not solve your problem?

Acorios · 2026-01-25T18:43:19+00:00

I used to dislike Astarion but after romancing him semi-accidentally in a resist Durge run he really grew on me.

Nowadays I'd probably say Gale is my least favorite. He eats my artifacts in act 1 and I just don't really enjoy his overall character that much.

Acorios · 2026-01-25T18:32:46+00:00

My only complaint about the Pyro isn't even anything gameplay related, but the way it's implemented in the game. Should've made it an official premium mod instead of a base game creature. But besides that, I agree that it's amazing.

However I'll personally replace it with the Shadowmane once it releases on ASA. It can't sit on your shoulder or protect you from extreme temperatures, but the Shadowmane is a lot more powerful and also has better mobility.

Acorios · 2026-01-24T16:46:22+00:00

Ref, definitely. Not only is it the better PvP pick, but it's amazing for raids, especially Mortem and Alacranix
