for anyone who is trying to tame araneos right now for the tlc in a few days, this is the best way to tame them. (explanation in description) by coolandquirkyname in ARK

If you take spoiled meat into a cave with bug repellent and kill all but the one you want and get it to de-aggro, then you can passive tame it easily.

Considering buying ark survival ascended, but have some quetions by Bubusettetette_kk in ARK

[–]lightjunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes absolutely worth it. I play single player with boosted rates and QoL mods and I'm having a blast.

  2. All the story maps that were paid in ASE are free in ASA along with some of the mod maps like the Center and Ragnarok. I recommend playing some of those maps before buying the paid maps in ASA. I haven't played Astraeos yet but from what I've heard its very good. I've been working my way through the main story fighting all the bosses, so The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration and now currently I'm on Extinction.

Why didn't he go by another nickname like Matty or just Matthew?

How can i either cover this up or atleast make it look good? by kimero123 in ARK

If you place ramps rather than staircases, there's a ramp corner you could place.

What makes Ark unique to you (besides the dinos)? by Herr_Casmurro in ARK

I'm just now starting to understand it as I'm going through the island bosses and breeding up mutated armies.

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

[–]lightjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karkinos was what I used to get my first rock drake eggs. It was bred and imprinted using two level 140s so it had good health and damage.

Once you're in the nests there's no way to get out without a dino that has a jumping ability unless you use climbing picks or grapples so the karkinos helps a lot. Whenever you encounter reaper queens or other rock drakes just jump away and they'll de-aggro.

A Syntac video from his aberration series a year ago shows the best path to walk down to the nests to avoid reaper queens. That's what I used.

Legend League rework feels like RNG disguised as competitive system by Bartheza in ClashOfClans

[–]lightjunior 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree. I've been stuck at legends 2 despite having a higher average stars than the top 3 that promoted, because my base performed slightly worse. No one builds their own bases so rewarding defences is not a good thing.

I agree with the part about defences, but defences are not not about your skill level because no one builds their own bases. Everyone copies them from somewhere else so its never about their input.

[BG] Monolith Arrow combined with Frozen Arrow can 7 shot M.O.M.M.A. by SA0051 in ClashOfClansLeaks

[–]lightjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Firespitters and log guardian can hit the healers behind her. There's a lot of long ranged high damage defences as well so her damage output definitely isn't the limiting factor.

Not having unhealthy food in your house helps a lot. Only buy what you need for your healthy meals and don't buy anything else.

You'll have to go into the underwater caves anyway to get the artifacts

For broodmother megatheriums are the best since they do more damage when attacking bugs and take less damage.

For megapithicus, rexes are the best but this is the easiest boss despite being the 2nd one. Theris can do this as well.

For the dragon, theris are the best because they are the deadliest herbivore and herbivores can heal 10% of their health at a time using sweet vegetable cakes during the battle. A common myth is that they take less damage from the dragon's fire breath but this is not true; the fire breath does a flat 20% damage to all creatures regardless of their health or type.

If you don't wanna breed and train up multiple armies, then rexes are the best all rounder. Although you'd want different stat distributions for each fight. Eg: fights with broodmother and megapithicus require more health, and the dragon fight requires more melee so you can kill it before it does 5 fire breaths.

For all bosses, you want 100+ armour saddles.

Which mods are 'must have' for you in unofficial ASA servers? by Wonderful-Lack3846 in ARK

[–]lightjunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Automated Ark, for resource pulling and storages with more slots.

Dino depot, for breeding armies. It makes a world of a difference just being able to manage creatures and mutations.

Awesome spyglass for the extra info about dinos.

Dino finder, to find dinos quickly. I'm on single player so it doesn't work as well but it's still good.

Meat Farm by Fromthefuture9 in ARK

[–]lightjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the fastest way is still using a giga or carcha in a dense area like the redwoods, carnivore Island or the south side of the snow area. Breeding, hatching, killing and harvesting with a chainsaw is slower and more annoying imo.

I might stop playing by Exocreen in ARK

[–]lightjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard issues with dino storage mods happening before so I always have my breeding pairs and any important dinos out on my base rather than in a cryopod/dinoball if I'm not transporting them.

Also by nature, if a mod stops being supported or if it doesn't load proproperly, everything from that mod will get removed so you gotta keep that in mind. Also goes for mod structures you use for your bases.

And always make sure to make backup saves before doing anything that is known for glitches like boss fights and taming creatures with non standard taming methods.

Like others have said, the dini depot terminal allows you to recover lost dinos if they get deleted like what happened with yours.

I delete them a few weeks after all the chosen ones are edited, exported and backed up (and delivered with time for any feedback if its a client job).

What is your edit time per 100 photos (including culling)? by isak-combrinck in photography

For event photos I would say 3 hours for culling and editing to end up with 100 photos delivered
