Dino Dossier: Daeodon

Common Name Daeodon
Species Daeodon comedentis
Time Late Oligocene
Diet Omnivore
Temperament Territorial
Domestication
Tameable Yes
Rideable No
Command  
  • Wild: Daeodon Comedentis is the largest known species of entelodont, an omnivorous family of ancient mammals that are sometimes referred to as “Hell Pigs.” Even though Daeodon has as many similarities to modern Hippopotamidae as it does to Suina, I’ve found that to be a suitably fitting nickname.

  • Domesticated: Many tribes have made excellent use of Daeodon packs within their war parties, not only because of its fierce nature but due to its remarkable ability to rapidly heal itself. I’ve theorized that this healing factor is why it seems to have such a high rate of food consumption, which also makes it difficult to maintain; Daeodon may well eat its owners out of house and home. Far more extraordinary, however, is that this rapid regeneration is evidently able to affect nearby allies, and consequently worth the upkeep!

  •  Known Information: Daeodon is as mean as it looks, and any survivor who wanders too close to its feeding grounds will find that out the hard way. As an omnivore with a voracious appetite, Daeodon scavenges, forages, and hunts to survive. It has little qualms when it comes to its diet, and that has helped it thrive both on the Island’s dry grasslands as well as sandy ecosystems. Its temper hasn’t hurt either, as many would-be predators would rather seek out less vicious prey. Its uncommonly high metabolism enables it to heal very rapidly, making it a difficult beast to bring down or even tranquilize.

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 247.85 & 247.9 & 247.91

247.85

  • Fixed issue where player collision could get stuck on pipes/cables. Requires Server Update.
  • Added “-ClusterDirOverride=C:/TestStorage/” launch parameter to servers (use whatever path you want). This allows you to use a common cross-server storage location that functions between multiple servers running on the same machine. (And you also still need to launch with “-ClusterId=SOMETHINGUNIQUE” in order to get your box’s servers to allow cross-transfer.)

247.9

Changes

  • Homing Rocket now has max targeting range of 6800 units, and can be distracted by nearby Flares. Requires Server Update.
  • Plant Species Y now has 300% larger activation radius, kills victims faster, lasts longer, degrades & pierces their armor more, and can now only be damaged by flame or explosives Requires Server Update.
  • Whip now has 40% chance to disarm, rather than 25%. Requires Server Update.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed critical performance problems with Water Pipes & Electric Cables! Requires Server Update.
  • Fixed issue where stasised Wells wouldn’t refill connected Taps. Requires Server Update.
  • Fixed issue where water containers in Taps connected to wells would cause the pipes to flicker filled/unfilled. Requires Server Update.
  • Fixed issue where Hotkey slots were getting shifted when transferring characters with items across ARK clusters. Requires Server Update.

247.91

  • Fixed issue where Water Pipes & Electric Cables would not update their state correctly. Requires Server Update. Highly recomend that all servers upgrade for this fix!

Dino Dossier: Giant Bee

Common Name Giant Bee
Species Apis Lithohermaea
Time Middle Miocene
Diet Floravore
Temperament Territorial
Domestication
Tameable Yes
Rideable No
Command  
  • Wild: In the wild, Apis Lithohermaea Drones never stray far from their nests, which they build high in the Island’s Redwood trees or on rocky cliffsides. Apis Drones can be seen swarming around the nest in groups, but to get a look at the Queen Apis, one would need to crack open the nest itself. Speaking from experience, this is not a pleasant task, as the untameable Apis Drones are quite territorial. I probably should have that one coming, in hindsight. Take caution: Apis stings will significantly weaken any creature which suffers them, and because its stinger is not barbed, Apis can sting multiple times without its stinger being ripped away.

  • Domesticated: A tamed Apis Queen will lay new drone eggs, and construct a nest that survivors can farm for honey, so long as they remember to wear specialised bee-keeping gear. Said honey is not only sweet and delicious, but laced with scents that land mammals find irresistible. Many hunters use it to bait their traps. Apis Drones will also follow their Queen into battle, so they can be used for self-defence in a pinch.
