ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 202.2

(No patch notes for 202.1)

Fixes

  • Putting Canteens/Waterskins into taps connected directly to intakes now properly refills them, doesn’t break them anymore. Sorry about that!
  • Failure to join a TC (such as SotF) no longer results in two overlapping popups
  • Fixed a crash that some singleplayers were getting after a load
  • Fixed another game-load crash case (associated with some Doedicurus functionality)

Changes

  • Total Conversions are now listed at the bottom of the sessions list when not in a TC

 

Dino Dossier: Terror Bird

Common Name: Terror Bird
Species: Phorusrhacidae Rapidesultor
Time: Late Paleocene
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
  • Wild: Ranging from eight to twelve feet tall, Phorusrhacidae Rapidesultor is a highly aggressive avian that is just barely capable of very brief "flight". Instead, it uses its wings primarily for balance during its high-speed sprints. Phorusrhacidae flight is actually closer to an impressive sustained leap or glide that is assisted and lengthened by flapping its wings.
  • Domesticated: Phorusrhacidae is an excellent combat mount, particularly for harassing and scouting. Riders of Phorusrhacidae gain most of the benefits of a fast, mobile ground-based theropod, while also gaining some of the freedom of movement from a flyer... Assuming the rider can coax Phorusrhacidae into staying in the air over a long leap.
  • Known Information: Phorusrhacidae shows interesting traits related to theropods such as Utharaptor, Carnotaurus, and Tyrannosaurus. It has many similar traits, such as general shape and predation patterns, but its attacks tend towards lightning dashes and leaping slashes.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed another exploit involving players getting under the terrain, and if you do get under the terrain somehow you will be teleported back above it.
  • Fixed an exploit where filled water containers could be used forever in recipes that require a filled water container
  • Fixed an exploit where you could fill water canteens/jars up fully at a watertank even if you did not have enough water to do so (essentially allowing you to infinitely generate water).
  • Fixed issues where you could erroneously create floating structures using fence foundations + pillars

Changes

  • You can now attach electric generators to electric cables after placing cables, they will snap accordingly
  • Radio Engram exists again
  • The destruction time of eggs on the ground is now the same for all eggs, 30 min

 

Dino Dossier: Hesperornis

Common Name: Hesperornis
Species: Hesperornis Avenatantes
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Piscivorous
Temperament: Flippant
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Unknown
  • Wild: Appearing as something of a half-duck-half-dinosaur, Hesperornis is a medium-sized fish-eating bird, common in the rivers and lakes os the island. It would be about two-thirds the height of a human, if it stood tall, but it rarely does. Hesperornis spends most of its time gliding along the surface of the water, where it is much more maneuverable. Hesperornis is barely a threat to any land-dwelling creature, as its legs are too short for it to move around effectively, but it is a surprisingly fast on the water. it can easily hunt down fish and other small water-dwelling creatures.
  • Domesticated: Not particularly useful for hunting, and not being affectionate, Hesperornis is primarily kept for the specialized eggs it produces. When rendered correctly, the eggs separate into two distinct substances: One is a protein substance high in calories, and the other is an oily liquid that is effectively the same as the oil found in the ocean!

Dino Dossier: Lystrosaurus

Common Name: Lystrosaurus
Species: Lystrosaurus Amicifidelis
Time: Late Permian - Early Triassic
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Loyal
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Unknown
  • Wild: Lystrosaurus Aicifidelis is a small herbivore, common to much of the island. Only about two feet long, it is not high on the food chain, and eats small plant life. The poisonous insects of the island seem to have little effect on Lystrosaurus.
  • Domesticated: Not surprisingly, Lystrosaurus is an extremly loyal pet once tamed. It's a very fast learner, so it gains experience much more quickly than most other creatures. Additionally, its presence nearby appears to inspire allies, making them learn and gain experience more rapidly as well. Thusly, Lystrosaurus is an excellent addition to any tribe's hunting party.
  • Known Information: Despite being among the Island's tinier herbivores, Lystrosaurus is an incredibly resilient survivor. It recovers its torpor and health much faster than most creatures, which makes rendering a Lystrosaurus unconscious a rather difficult affair.

Official ARK Server Manager 0.1 Released -Windows only (Mirror)

Official Steam Announcement: Link

The ARK Server Manager mentioned in Patchnote 200 (Link) has been released just a few minutes ago. We’ve created a direct mirror for it, because the official download is only available from mega.nz, which is blocked in many countries. We’re not the responsible for this file. Download at your own risk.

Official download link: https://mega.nz/#!rtIlBQ4B!AshMux59GNp2l0huDELD3VXUEWpkCF03s5h8cPLqyyU
Our mirror link: http://space.ark-survival.net/ARK_Server_Launcher.zip

(Update): It’s the self updating version. So no need to redownload updates, once you’ve downloaded it. So the mandatory windows related virusscanvirustotal2

Usage (By Drake)

Then after extracting, run ARKServerLauncher\ARKServerLauncher.exe to install it. Select an install folder and then run ARKServerLauncher.exe in your install folder.

From there you can easily Install/Update your Windows Dedicated Server by clicking the Install/Update button. You can start/stop your server, and change launch options. You can click on the "Rules & Gameplay" tab to change current rules settings, and in the "Raw INI" tab you can edit/add INI values directly. Finally, in the Mods section, you can browse all Mods on Steam Workshop, Download them, and activate/deactivate them & change their stacking order -- and this DOES automatically extract and set them up properly (so you never have to use a game client!). You'll also get a live feed of how many players are connected to your server on the UI.

Major limitations that will be fixed tonight:
- The "Total Conversion" launch option on the main menu doesn't do anything. For now to run SotF or a TC after downloading & installing SotF via the Mods tab, you need to go to the Raw INI section of the Rules & Gameplay tab, and add this INI key into the ServerSettings section (at the bottom of the scroll window you can add more keys):

ActiveTotalConversion 496735411

Don't try to "Activate" SotF Mod via the Mods tab, that will mess it up. Gotta run it like a Total Conversion with this approach.

Note that you can add extra/custom commandline parameters to your server launch by clicking the "Show Launch Script" button.

Things to come very soon (next couple days and beyond):
- Run remotely so you don't need direct desktop access to your server machine
- Integrated ARKon (RCON)
- Linux server support
- Integrated auto-updater for the Server Launcher app to keep it up to date.
- More more more!
