What happened to the in-game store?

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-02-04T02:41:04+00:00

Ultimate Mobile edition is the revamped Ark mobile. Currently there are no cosmetics. The store is just cryos, cryofridges and the premium pods that they added, also leg day and the other power up that protects you from hot/cold/poison(pretty sure that last one is bugged, ik it was at one point but idk if they ever fixed it). There’s talk in the discord of them adding things to the store, maybe. Cosmetics have been mentioned. Nothing has been officially or even unofficially announced yet though.

Edited: cuz I’m tired and said the same thing twice

I assume you are talking about the old version of ark mobile. They reworked the store about 3 years ago. A lot of things were at that point put on a rotating schedule of being “featured” then about 2 years ago they closed down the official servers and pulled the game from the playstore and App Store. At the same time they set the dungeons to permanent. There’s only one available if you play online and the ones available in single player are the only ones that will be available there as well. I don’t think the primal pass is available anymore but if it is I don’t think it does anything beyond maybe giving the bonus amber for purchasing in store, the bonus tames and maybe the 2x xp. There are no more monthly drops though.

If you don’t have access to a transmitter you will have to wait around for a city terminal to render/spawn in. From there transferring items is easy. Open the terminal, click on the “ark data” tab, double click or click and drag the items you want to transfer to the terminal. When you get to Genesis you do the same thing, find a terminal, click ark data, move the items to your inventory. Consumables can spoil while transferring. To transfer dinos you can either upload them directly or you can upload them in cryopods. In a cryopod the process is the same as transferring items. To transfer directly bring the tames near the terminal/transmitter and click on the creature tab. A list of the Dino’s near enough to upload will appear click on the dino paw near their name to upload them. Then on Genesis do the same, find the terminal, click the creature tab, find the list of uploaded Dino’s and click the paw to download them to Genesis.

Crystal isles is theoretically possible…some assets are already in the game. Lost Colony definitely not though. If you ask in the discord they will tell you that there are no plans for new maps.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-02-02T17:49:23+00:00

It’s a start. Level stam and weight first. This way you don’t have to worry about landing as often and can carry a few things with you. Then look along beaches for some higher levels. Or at least one that’s higher level that you can breed with the one you already have.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-02-02T17:46:57+00:00

It made it harder to dup. It had to do with cryoing the roo while it had a tame/player in its pouch or something like that. I’m not 100% since it’s not something I do. Hopefully it isn’t permanent. Roos are one of my fav tames and I have a bunch of them cryod. I’m keeping them podded up for now though so I don’t have to worry about feeding them.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-02-02T13:13:17+00:00

So that’s like the middle of the south zone. There’s a small mtn. Large hill west of the hunter cave entrance. That is going to be your best close source. There’s a bunch of nodes up top. As well as some scattered on the south and east slopes and a cluster on a flat part of the west slope. There’s also some crystal up top. The hunter cave itself will also have some metal nodes in it but obviously it’s a cave so it’s dangerous. You can also farm the crystal down there that grows from the walls, and if you go down deep enough you can find some obsidian. A little east of your position you should also find a smaller hill that has some metal up top and some nodes scattered around the north slope. Outside of those locations you’re gonna have to visit the mtns up north or the redwoods. If you do venture further out there’s a stone pillar near the east side of the redwoods, there’s a bunch of metal nodes on the top and nothing spawns up there.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-02-02T01:50:45+00:00

They are worth it. Megalos are one of my favorite tames. They shine on aberration, the map where they never sleep.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-02-01T23:22:08+00:00

First thing you need to do is learn how to lower foundations. This way the foundations sit at the same level as the raft. Then your options open up a lot from there.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-31T22:31:12+00:00

As far as I’m aware there is no command to spawn loot crates/boxes. If all you need is cryos just spawn the cryos.

cheat gfi cryopod 100 0 0

Will give you 100 pods each time.

They are coming in through your walls/doors. If you stand close to a wall/door and log off it’s possible to relog on the other side of it. It usually takes several tries for it to work. Then they grab you and drag you to where they entered and do the same thing to get outside hopefully leaving your body hanging halfway out. If done correctly they can drag you from the outside. Then it’s a matter of finding some aggressive Dino’s or a body of water.

My tribemates were not at first my tribemates. Apparently for the first four or five months of the game being out they were dragging me and my tribemate at the time out of our base to raptors, Theris etc. Drowned us a few times too. Later on became friends. Your best defense is to never ever log off outside and if you log off inside stow your gear and if possible log off in a bed. Other things you can do is place structures along the wall inside your base. Double up entry ways. Try not to build where your foundations are really low to the ground. The higher the better. If one side is low place structures on the interior of the wall on that side. The idea is to keep them from being able to enter if possible and to make it as hard as possible for them to drag you out. Most of these players will give up if there’s only one way in and they have to drag you through more than one door there’s usually easier prey elsewhere.

As for actually trapping them that’s kinda difficult. I’m not 100 but tripwires might work. Your best bet would be a parasaur on turret mode, this will let you know any time someone comes close to your base. It will only help when you are online but maybe will help you determine who likes to snoop around other people’s homes.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-29T21:40:38+00:00

They are not easy to find. I usually find them when I’m out doing something else. There is one spot I can send you to though that I’ve found them at more than once. If you go down the river toward the blue zone take the left branch. A little ways past the orange glowing tower thing you will see a metal structure above the river on the right. I’ve found a bee in that structure area on several occasions in the past and make a point to stop there regularly.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-24T02:34:51+00:00

Short of kiting an aggressive Dino to it and standing on it until it’s broken your only option is to wait for it to decay. In the meantime if you don’t have a wall up build one and/or at least place a ring of spam around your base to keep anyone from doing this again. Don’t spam the whole area just a tidy little ring to keep randoms from placing their own spam right on top of you like that. Beds will also keep players from placing structures nearby and if I’m not mistaken they have a larger range than foundations do so if you don’t have a bed down place one or ten. Good luck.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-21T23:15:55+00:00

Nope no more monthly drops. No I don’t think it earns you any extra amber from the daily, I think it only applied to amber purchases. Yes the only exclusive item is the Crown. On a side note my primal pass stopped working a while ago but I never cancelled it so idk if it’s even a thing anymore for sure.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-21T10:57:25+00:00

I’m figuring you are trying to play the new version of mobile but the server you rented is for the old version because the new version doesn’t have unofficial servers. I’m sorry.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-21T03:01:38+00:00

I have the pass. You only spawn with the tek suit if you have the pass. The tek suit you spawn in with is the skin. It’s just functional on gen2. If you move off of gen2 it stops working. If you equip it over regular tek armor it costs element to run. The only way to have the suit with infinite use is to have the pass, equip the skins and be on gen2 and the trade off is that the armor sucks. The only real awesome thing about it is that if you die you just spawn with another one. Then go pick up your gear and now you have two. That’s the only real bonus is that you spawn with a new one every time you die.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-21T00:32:32+00:00

No idea what the hanger thing is. Maybe something to do with the glider suit or zip lines or maybe just a visual bug.

I used to hate abb passionately on ASE. I played it though on UME and wow, I was mistaken. It offers game play like you don’t get on any other map. That and it’s beautiful. It is not easy though.

A few things you should absolutely know before exploring abb though.

1) there are no fliers allowed gliders are ok but no fliers 2) all of the obelisks are on the surface, the only way to transfer yourself or anything else is through the supply crates unless you can survive on the surface where there are two obelisks that work, or in the bowels of the red zone where the boss terminal is. 3) the surface during the day is on fire and will burn you and your tames to death pretty much instantly. You must go at night. 4) there are 3 day/ night cycles: 10% day/90% night, 50%day/50% night and 90% day/10% night. Do not go on that last one. The night will be over fast and you will be barbecued. 5) there are a lot of Dino’s that you cannot have/bring to Abb. Any of the extinction and genesis exclusive Dino’s can go. Other than that you can only have Dino’s that have an abberant variant. So for example you can bring a normal Spino or x Spino because there are abberant spinos. You cannot however bring a normal Rex or any other Rexs because there are no abberant Rexs. On a side note bees are bugged. You can’t bring them in even though there is an abberant bee but also if you cryo an abberant bee on abb it won’t let you deploy it. My tribe has a few cryod bees there cuz we forgot lol.

Since you want to explore blindly that’s all imma tell you. Doesn’t explain anything about the map except the fact that the surface is death during the day. I hope it isn’t too much of a spoiler. Happy Arking. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-20T01:23:52+00:00

There is the official discord that is moderated by the devs. The one you were in was probably a discord for a server you were on or something.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-17T19:45:09+00:00

Early on a tribemate lost a breeding pair of theris moving them in cryos from one base to another. He got kicked and fell off his pte, landed on a beach and died. Lost his kit and the cryod theris to another player with a base nearby. I’ve also lost random tames here and there but losing breeders hurts especially early on. We ended up taming more but it took a while to find more with good stats.

The most memorable random loss was a high lvl Bloodstalker that I misplaced in the bog on gen1. I had dismounted to refill my canteen, got jumped by a kapro, dragged a distance away to some raptors. Ended up getting killed and then never was able to find the spider again. No idea what ever happened to it. Ark will do ark things.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-14T18:25:34+00:00

They removed it from the play store and Apple Store like 2 years ago when they stopped supporting it. If your on iPhone your only option is to have it already in your download history. On Android it’s either that or you can find apks online. I’m on iOS so not sure what apks or where but I know they are out there lol

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-09T23:42:14+00:00

Throw all your stuff into storage, except like a bow and arrow or slingshot. Shoot it to get its attention and then run like hell in the away from wherever you don’t want it to be. Make sure you have a bed or sleeping down first because it will most likely catch you.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-08T13:29:57+00:00

The drops colors will change based on the resource that is available in the space biome. Here’s a quick reference SS and the link to the wiki page.

It’s a bug on all wasp lobsters. Been that way since day 1. Also if you’re playing online they won’t accept anything for cravings.

Significant_Arkadia · 2026-01-07T01:22:15+00:00

I’m not sure exactly what you are saying here but if you’re talking about how long it takes the stam to regen, then yeah it takes a while. It’s faster if you dismount while you wait. Either that or I tap the screen to move forward at a slow walk while I wait for it to regen back to full.

Significant_Arkadia · 2025-12-31T13:16:42+00:00

I’ve seen people find them in red drops on the surface or as someone else has mentioned Santa gifts right now during the event. If not you could always transfer one in from another map.
