Dino Dossier: Argentavis

Domestication
Common Name:	Argentavis
Species:	Argentavis atrocollum
Time:	Late Miocene
Diet:	Carrion Feeder
Temperament:	Aggressive
Tameable:	Yes
Rideable:	Yes
Saddle:	Argentavis Saddle (Lvl. 55)
Command:	admincheat summon Argent_Character_BP_C

Wild: Lording over the skies across the island, Argentavis atrocollum has few aerial rivals. It is a small consolation for the island's other avian Creatures, then, that Argentavis seems to have little interest in anything alive. Although they are not interested in many animals, Argentavis will attack any human within sight making them an aerial threat to many humans with basic equipment.

Domesticated: Argentavis is actually slower than the far more common Pteranodon, but it has significantly more Stamina, and can sustain flight for approximately three times as long. This makes them the best Creatures on the island for traveling or hauling cargo over long distances.

Known Information: Quite apart from what I would have guessed, Argentavis does not have the stooped neck typical of modern buzzards and vultures. It is unknown if it adapted this stronger neck to deal with predators on the island, or if its lineage comes from before the stooped neck became common in carrion-eating birds. It is a highly aggressive creature, willing to chase players long distances for simply being within its vision.

Dino Dossier: Ankylosaurus

Domestication
Common Name:	Ankylosaurus
Species:	Ankylosaurus crassacutis
Time:	Late Cretaceous
Diet:	Herbivore
Temperament:	Docile
Tameable:	Yes
Rideable:	Yes
Saddle:	Ankylo Saddle (Lvl. 40)
Command:	admincheat summon Ankylo_Character_BP_C

Wild: Unlike many of the herd animals on the island, Ankylosaurus crassacutis tends to live in small family units. I believe they can afford to stick with smaller groups because of their incredibly thick skin for which they're named.

Domesticated: Without a doubt, the best trait of a trained Ankylosaurus is its enormously dense tail. This tail is powerful enough to shatter the resource-laden rocks of the island. One of the wealthier human tribes on the island utilizes a squad of Ankylosaurus in its mines and quarries.

Known Information: Despite not being among the largest of the islands herbivores, the Ankylosaurus is one of the more difficult Creatures to take down. Its thick, armored skin seems to make it more than a match for several of the mid-sized predators that would otherwise hunt it. Reckless carnivores are just as likely to hurt themselves on Ankylosaurus' spikes as they are to get hit by its tail.

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 174.31 – Patchnotes

These are the changes of ARK: Survival Evolved’s Patch 174.31. If not otherwise indicated, they’re quoted from the relevant Steam Thread.

“EnablePvPGamma=true” server option will now work 😉
Added move-and-copy logic to saving to avoid any corruptions of save or tribe data
Fixed a stat math problem with Downloading Dinos via the Obelisks

(Original Announcement on Steam)

Here are the patchnotes of the previous patch (174.3).

How to Queue / Join a full Server

ARK being as popular as it is unfortunately also has its downsides. In particular, full offical servers. While there’s something to be said for switching to unofficial servers, that’s not always an option, particularly when you already have spent some effort on your base.

Fortunately, Steam offers a built-in queueing solution for servers, saving you from the trouble of having to retry until you’re finally able to connect. And this is how it works: Begin by going to your Steam server list (In the Steam Client use View -> Servers). You should now see something like this:

If you right-click on the server you want to join in that list, the following context-menu will appear:

Now click Connect to Server, which will bring you to this window:

And this is where the magic happens. A click on Auto-Retry (highlighted in white above) will uncover this menu:

Set the radio-button to “Join the server as soon as a player slot is available” and click on “Join Game”. Steam will take care of the rest!

New dinosaurs announced – Gallimimus, Dimorphodon & Pachycephalosaurus

Jat (Community Manager of ARK) announced two new dinosaurs: The Gallimimus and the Dimorphodon. Craft some narcotics and make yourself ready to tame them.

Gallimimus

Dimorphodon

Pachycephalosaurus

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 174.3 – Patchnotes

(Click here for the patchnotes of the previous ARK: Survival Evolved patch 174.2, and here for the patchnotes of the next patch 174.31)

Gamma adjustment now disabled on PvP/Hardcore servers (by server-side default). Unofficial Servers can force allow gamma adjustment on PvP/Hardcore with this commandline/INI option:
EnablePvPGamma=true
Replenishing times on all resources reduced by 40% (will replenish faster)

These are the changes of ARK: Survival Evolved’s Patch 174.3. If not otherwise indicated, they’re quoted from the relevant Steam Thread.

(Original announcement on Steam)

Artifacts and Boss Monster / Summon Broodmother Lysrix

Boss enemies are not running around like the other dinosaurs in Ark. These must be called by using an artifact. These arifacts can randomly be found in dungeons in a loot crystal. At the moment 6 artifacts are known:

	Clever Dungeon North		Pack Dungeon South 2
	Devourer Dungeon North-East		Skylord Dungeon West
	Hunter Dungeon South		Massive Dungeon South-East

A list of the dungeons including a tiny tutorial can be found on our page: Dungeons and Caves

If you’ve got all 6 artifacts, you’ll have to insert them in an obelisk to summon the broodmother lysrix.

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 174.2 – Patchnotes
