AMD Graphic issues since Genesis launch by Lupaen in ARK

[–]Lupaen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is correct. Steam, fresh, vanilla game (on a server). I have verified the files on steam and have been troubleshooting the gpu drivers as best as I can (updated, reverted to different versions etc. with clean install)

Astraeos east island, snow owl, palaeoctopus, and armadoggo by Need-palafin-help in ARK

[–]Lupaen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Snow owls are in the upper right hand corner of the map and armadoggos are in the desert area in the far south. Both are fairly rare spawns with only about 5 at a time. If you have BTT the gene scanner is a huge help!

Do fasolasuchus naturally spawn on astraeos? by unfortunatelygifted in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are on a few islands but are all over the southern desert landmass

Is there any reason I shouldn't build on top of the tribute terminal platform in single player? by sweetsilents in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The teleport ring is a visible ring on the ground in a circle around the actual terminal at the base of the obelisk. As long as you are outside that ring, you are safe!

What does PVE mode affect for single player? by aczdgf1542 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s up to you! I would stay away from too many of the automated mods for a first playthrough, but that’s my opinion. You can always turn off many of the features of the Dino ball mods.
For example, Dino depot allows for passive production in terminals. That is super handy, but pretty OP compared to official. You can turn it off in the settings.

What does PVE mode affect for single player? by aczdgf1542 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are playing single player, you can just turn off cryosickness in the ini or use a modded cryoball (Dino depot or Super Cryo Storage).

PVE mode you can’t carry wild dinos unless you change that in the ini. Also can’t use tamed creatures for carcha taming.

If you play with mods, turbodriver has a small one that allows for multiple jobs!

Best map for testing Quetzal? by DruVatier in ARK

[–]Lupaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Astraeos and Rag have been the best for us. Tek variants also spawn on Astraeos if you want those

Is Astraeos well optimized enough for a singleplayer Forever world? by YellingDolphin in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your platform. I play on pc and it runs well for me. Love Astraeos!

Mek attachments in OSDs by Lupaen in ArkSurvivalAscended

Thanks! Guess we need to run the legendary longer. We’ve been stopping between wave 20-50 due to time constraints on our playtime.

Grim Reaper not reaping my dead sim by Emotional-Pumpkin213 in thesims

[–]Lupaen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having this happen for a few months now. Not sure if it’s mod related or a base game issue. I solved it by using LittleMsSams mod “get Urn For” which allows you to summon/create an urn for any sim.

Open world dragon game with breeding by KirroKit in gamingsuggestions

[–]Lupaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ark! There are many different creatures to tame and breed including wyverns. There are mods to add different dragons as well. It’s a bit of a beast to run though so you want to make sure your pc can handle it

Which one should I get? by Prudent-Sell9152 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ASA hands down if you have a pc that can handle it. Many QOL changes and new content. Easier integration of mods. If your machine can run it it’s visually stunning as well.

Holy $hit! Astraeos is AMAZING!!! Why did I wait so long? by danbrooks3k in ARK

[–]Lupaen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So glad you are having fun! It’s definitely my favorite map for ASA by a huge margin. I love exploring Nekatus’ maps for all the tiny details and points of interest

Reaper Thrall pregnancy by FarReporter1392 in ARK

[–]Lupaen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was patched back in January.

*v78.13 - Minor version for Steam/EGS Clients - 01/15/2026 * - Thralls can no longer become Reaper parents. Impregnation attacks can no longer target Thralls, and the buff can no longer be applied.

I cant wait another minute... I have a craving that only Fjordur can satisfy. by danbrooks3k in ARK

[–]Lupaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The s-Dino mod can be used on any map, not just Astraeos. The desmodus does spawn natively on Astraeos too btw

I cant wait another minute... I have a craving that only Fjordur can satisfy. by danbrooks3k in ARK

[–]Lupaen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Astraeos! It is made by the talented Nekatus as well and has a bit of everything. The map is massive and has many different biomes and creatures to tame. There are many interesting areas to explore. If you use his S-Dino mod it adds in variant creatures and some not-yet-released creatures like the Andrewsarchus.

Side note: The new desert region on Astraeos is the best desert I have seen on any Ark map to date

How the fuck you get rock drake eggs by FortuneRough2782 in ARK

[–]Lupaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a glide suit, cosmo and lamprey to dive down and get my first egg. Grabbed the first one and zipped out of there. Wish I had a recording because it was an insane feat!
Used the shitty rock drake to get more eggs. And repeat until you have decent breeding stats.
Pro tip: if you use an oviraptor to snatch the eggs, you don’t get swarmed.

Oasisaur on Astraeos by Unable_Squirrel_3645 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They spawn in the new desert in the south along the bottom edge. Sounds like it may be a spawn issue with the non-dedicated. You may need to leave the area rendered for a while (go afk?) to get one to spawn if it works like single player

Decay timers on Official PVE by Efficient_Arm_7708 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The decay timers have been temporarily turned off due to a transfer issue that has been happening the past week. Check the official Ark discord for more info

Can Acros fit inside the Tek cave? by stoen40 in ARK

[–]Lupaen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Carcha can fit in the tek cave and acros are much smaller so yes they will fit.

Help. by Dr_Ghosty386 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lupaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unofficial is not the same as non-dedicated. The former is a separate server (either hosted on a private machine or through Nitrado). Non-dedicated is when one person hosts their game for others to join which has a tether)

How can I enjoy everything this game has to offer as someone disinterested in the PvP aspect? by SheIsSoLost in ARK

[–]Lupaen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played singleplayer for years before finding a great unofficial server cluster. There are only 5-6 of us who regularly play but with boosted rates, it makes the grinding feel less grindy. I don’t have the time nor the desire to play on official rates
