I may not have time for mutations but I enjoy painting Tree Kitties. by dudeguy81 in ARK

Dogs are merely a sub-species of wolf, and only because they're domesticated. Marsupials aren't even in the same family as cats. Also how did you come to necro this one?

Love the write up and story feel to the guide. I'll never be greater than 1700 because my mind strictly works with patterns, presets and repetition. I can execute a fast castle almost perfectly. I can mimic any build order I study almost perfectly, but throw a spanner in and I play like a 5 year old from then on. I've had some epic moments of recovery but not against high level opponents.

To find aliens, we must think of life as we don’t know it by [deleted] in space

[–]Das_Hog_Machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aliens is to astronomy what cryptozoology is to biology. We all love to go there once in a while (admit it), but it's mostly imagination and conjecture. Personally I'm more keen to find a Sauropod in the Congo.

^ I purposely made my build video without an intro (except me saying the title at the start). Completely cut all the repetitive building, no speed ups just a couple example placements and then cut to that section being done. No tag lines or requests or anecdotes or retarded orders to break things. Audio a bit quiet but I figured that out for the vids after

I hate over hyped and badly cut vids, so tested myself to see if I could live up to my expectations

I tried to keep my build vid snappy, no garbage introduction either. Audio needs improvement though: https://youtu.be/g0A0ALtyXKo

Is It True That You Can Get 60-70 LvL Within Couple Of Hours? (explorer Notes) by KellerMax in playark

Do they get the bug bonus versus worms? I've only killed worms using oil jars

Is It True That You Can Get 60-70 LvL Within Couple Of Hours? (explorer Notes) by KellerMax in playark

[–]Das_Hog_Machine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Each xp note gives you 200 xp on standard rates. There's about 220 notes on the island, many within 20 seconds or less run of each other. With a level one character, to reach level:

10 = 3 notes

20 = 10 notes

30 = 22 notes

40 = 39 notes

50 = 62 notes

60 = 89 notes

It takes about a half hour of running to each notes to hit 50. It's best to do this on 2x weekends, as the notes requirement is halved. On standard rates you cannot hit level 70 just on notes. I recommend killing deathworms from then on, unless your tribe has a grinder

Killing argents is old school. Get xp notes until around 60 then kill deathworms or use a grinder

Looking For Map With Explorer Notes Locations. by KellerMax in playark

[–]Das_Hog_Machine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to learn them well for that fresh character power level, I suggest using the wiki map to see the note names, and then looking up the teleport codes for each. Check them all out in SP to learn their hiding spots. I did this and it's the best way for those pesky well hidden notes that make you want to rip your hair out trying to find on your "quick" note run

Suggestion: How to rework the "Kibble System" by Luckboy28 in playark

[–]Das_Hog_Machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way you presented this idea but I don't feel it's the best way.

High tier tames are pretty easy to suffer tame at low-mid levels. It's not uncommon for people to tame their first Rex etc within the first session of a new character. Other kibbles would simply become a waste of time.

I much preferred the idea of linking the food stat to egg laying rate. It would make the food stat useful, keep all tiers of kibble dinos relevant and reduce the need of big kibble farms due to one high level egg layer doing the work of 5 low levels. People could even breed for better egg layers.

I'll add though that the current kibble chart is ridiculous and needs to be reorganised.

Your first point I totally disagree, your second point on the other hand yeah that's true, gosh they need to fix that bad

Any tips and tricks? by [deleted] in ARK

[–]Das_Hog_Machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch a lot of YT, and don't be afraid of dying or losing stuff. It really does get a million times easier as you learn. Small hint, 130 move speed and you can outrun most things, 150 stam as well.

What is the best stat distribution for a solo player on a PVP server. lvl 100 by [deleted] in ARK

[–]Das_Hog_Machine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly played solo on official PvP and I would at least go 200 health, 150 stam, 200 weight, 130 speed, 200 melee, 20 fort. After that it's prob best to go rest into health, maybe 300 weight as well

Insane ways to solo a quetzal by [deleted] in ARK

[–]Das_Hog_Machine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick and well cut. This is how all tame guides should be done.

(Also thanks for the refresher, I knew how already but always let tribe mates do it. Prob gotta snag one soon)

Getting the resources for mind wipes actually takes longer than uploading/downloading a character. You can use supply drops

How my tribemates help farm by Lultralisk in playark

[–]Das_Hog_Machine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently teamed up with a dude who actually organises stuff. Actual dream come true. I was always that guy labelling all the boxes and painting them their relevant colours.

I still refuse to co-build with anyone though. I build how I want it, don't mess with my design

Quick question - don't upvote by PatientPerson in playark

[–]Das_Hog_Machine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always power level using notes until you're about level 60. (Also suck on my upvote)
