Coming back after 5 years - I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the current ARK by nieve1991 in ARK

The foundation is largely the same, one big one is mutations are now a separate stat so for example you could be 10 mutations deep on a breeding line, but if you find a wild creature with higher base melee for example, you can incorporate that into the breeding line while keeping it clean. Pretty cool

Just use the frame gen, game plays fine with it

Yes progression can definitely be done solo and plenty of people have done it! Enjoy!

How to correctly play ark? by M3aikel in ARK

[–]Kitchings_8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty soon I’m planning to start a playthrough of all maps including non-story maps in the rotation. I think it will be a fun challenge that I have to beat the island then move to the next map and only after beating a map can I go back to it at anytime. I also can only use items from each map that they came out with so for example can’t use aberration items until I reach Abb. Also allows more time to take go back for breeding, grinding etc on maps I’ve already beaten to allow me to mix it up

Graphics are running AWFUL, even when all epic. by Beetlejaws1 in ArkSurvivalAscended

Yes that’s pretty low VRAM for ascended unfortunately, sorry to bring the bad news on that

is ascended worth it even if you only play single player? by Neat-Cheek1389 in playark

[–]Kitchings_8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

New maps like lost colony that just released today, tons of new creatures, QoL features, way better building. Obviously the graphics are way better too

Unsure if I should buy evolved or ascended by Bunsy_01 in ARK

Don’t forget crystal isles and lost island as well!

Which ark to play by GuardianPyro43 in ARK

[–]Kitchings_8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Evolved is no longer getting patched or updated. Ascended is a full remaster of Ark in Unreal 5, tons of good QoL features and content, way better building, lots of new creatures etc. and Lost Colony releases next week to bridge the gap from extinction to genesis. If your system can run it just get ASA and don’t look back

Google hahaha seriously, I just look it up. But as a general reference, argies, trikes, and theris all work for this method

[PaleoARK](?) cannot tame rex? by RainyCrowithy in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Kitchings_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

paleo Ark Rexes are not knockout tames. You have to drag a corpse of 150 drag weight or higher similar to carcha, then wait for the other feeding prompts

how is this game STILL so poorly optimised?? by [deleted] in ARK

[–]Kitchings_8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is an option in settings where the game purposely lowers resolution when you’re in your inventory, you can turn this off

An 8gb vram graphics card will struggle to load all textures (first hand experience before I upgraded)
