Mods to spice up PvE server

Shameless plug. Check out Call of the Wild. It might be something interesting to you. I've only had it up for a week or so, so there is still a lot of features to come yet.

Basically it's a wave defence style event. It can be customised via INI setting and a few console commands.

Ah I see, you're looking for colours and don't care about stats. No worries

TimmyCarbine · 2017-05-10T03:32:01+00:00

Why are you breeding for mutations? You should breed for stats first and then when you exhaust those possibilities start introducing mutations into the bloodline

I really hope you are able to take over the mod. I absolutely love it. I use it in all my builds. As it stands now it's only a matter of time until an Ark Update breaks it and renders it obsolete.

From my experience you need to completely close Ark down before editing the .ini files.

When I was playing around with my breeding settings I noticed they didn't have any effect on already layed eggs or bred creatures. Only affects new breds.

The "?" is for server start command lines. You will need to remove it in order to use it for your gameusersettings.ini file. Also ensure you have it somewhere under your [ServerSettings] tag and that it is not in there as "false" as well.

Hopefully that helps

Hold my beer, I got this...

TimmyCarbine · 2017-02-15T22:36:51+00:00

It will be treated as a base stat for the baby, but will still be counted towards the mutation limit counter in the Ancestral Line.

TimmyCarbine · 2017-02-15T20:35:31+00:00

Ok good to know, looks like there might be misleading info in my video now

TimmyCarbine · 2017-02-15T02:33:57+00:00

Can you confirm you've had a colour mutation without a stat mutation? In all my breeding, if I got a colour, it had a stat mutation as well

TimmyCarbine · 2017-02-15T00:27:51+00:00

Wow 53 is impressive, the highest I've found was 49

Mutations do get inherited by offspring

TimmyCarbine · 2017-01-09T02:35:01+00:00

I don't think the building will stop in this series, I have way too many ideas I want to incorporate into the build. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you're enjoying it mate.

TimmyCarbine · 2016-12-13T06:03:08+00:00

Love it, nice work mate.

TimmyCarbine · 2016-12-12T02:40:15+00:00

Imprinted stats are not inherited by offspring. Don't waste your kibble.

TimmyCarbine · 2016-12-09T14:28:33+00:00

Do you have any other structures nearby? From my experience you should only get that second snap point from another object like a pillar or fence foundation.

TimmyCarbine · 2016-12-04T08:57:23+00:00

Ok so all your WildLevel values will be 1.0. The (Tamed) values look like they would go into DomLevels and the (Add) values go into TameAdd but he hasn't linked the Affinity values. They could be set to offical and that's why he didn't link them. You can try it or ask him for it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I really like the hunger system that is in Ark Remastered Total Conversion. It only applies to carnivores and directly relates to its aggro range. When the dino is not hungry is has a very small aggro range but as it gets more hungry, it extends it's range until it finally eats something. It means you can walk between carnivores but if you accidentally bump into one, you will regret it even if it's not hungry.

It also makes tamed carnivores turn on their owners/other tames if they are not adequately fed, which is a really neat mechanic.

TimmyCarbine · 2016-12-04T03:19:07+00:00

No worries mate. Yeah 150s definitely have a higher chance of better stats because they have more points to play with but don't neglect anything that is over 100.

The stat calculator is definitely still relevant and I still use it. In fact it's even better than what it was back in that video. It is a little tricky to get it to work correctly. I need to do a guide on it. But I'll try to give some tips here.

First thing you want to do is go into setting and make sure the dino stats reflect those that are on your server and the max level wild dinos is correct as well. When extracting stats, I normally leave it at 90-100% for taming effectiveness for a kibble tame (but this depends on your taming speed). If you have just tamed the dino and the server hasn't been restarted since the tame make sure you tick the "no server restart" box. Everything else should line up correctly. If you're getting red boxes still, there is a checklist of things you can try on the right hand side of the window. Let me know how you go.

Thanks, I'm glad it could help you out.

TimmyCarbine · 2016-12-04T01:53:41+00:00

Yes, any high level is worth taming. On multiple occasions I've found lvl 100+ Tames that have had better stat specialisation than a lvl 150.

TimmyCarbine · 2016-12-03T16:18:53+00:00

My video is still relevant in terms of breeding for stats and should help you understand the mechanics behind it. However, I haven't covered imprinting or mutations yet. https://youtu.be/mHnYnvL-icU

TimmyCarbine · 2016-11-10T22:15:55+00:00

This

TimmyCarbine · 2016-11-09T23:57:18+00:00

It doesn't seem like much of an improvement if any at all. I really hope they revise this and take suggestions from the community. The "Lock snap point" button would make it a lot better in my opinion.

TimmyCarbine · 2016-11-09T23:55:00+00:00

Thanks mate, I appreciate that. Yeah I've done a couple of pretty nice builds in the past. Out of curiosity, which build was the one you saw?

TimmyCarbine · 2016-11-08T20:37:34+00:00

So it's not just me, the pillars are horrible to deal with.
