I can’t place a cart on any of my tames. I have the dlc, tames have a saddle on, they’re on the list of tames that can use a cart. I don’t know what else to do

ASE Alpha Ascension implant not showing

1 Upvotes

Hi, yesterday I did the tek cave and ascended on alpha difficulty on the island, and after respawing, my implant in my inventory updated to the alpha one, but the one physically on my arm didn't change, and won't change no matter how many times I respawn.

Please help because I find this kind of annoying.

Is there a faster way to tame a high level pt that doesn’t take 2 hours? I know that prime meat helps but I’m finding difficulty farming it and keeping it from spoiling while I find a high level pt.

Showcase I built a free wipe calendar for ARK servers (Arkpocalypse included)

For those controversial PvP players out there (myself included), you'll understand that knowing when a cluster wipes is essential for starting fresh. It gets tiring hopping between a million dc servers just to get a sense of which ones are wiping soon.

As a solution to this, we have developed a system to bring this all together into one page. You can choose to sort by the most popular clusters or by those with the most imminent wipes. This works for both survival ascended and evolved. "Expected" wipes are those predicted by the system for clusters with a consistent wipe cadence. "Confirmed" are verified dates directly from dc announcements.

Feel free to give it a try! https://arkcharts.com/wipes

Side note: For any server owners out there.. we now have an "explore" page where you can showcase your servers to the rest of the community. I'd appreciate any feedback on this. Cheers!

For a quick backstory, I'm a software dev who's taken it upon himself to create a free, no-ads platform for ARK players and server owners alike. I've been developing this website for ~6 months, and you may recognize me from an older progress post. The community has been growing steadily, and it's been a fun passion project. Feel free to reach out!

Rant My game forces me out by crashing continuously 😔

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, let me get straight to the point.

I love playing Ark; I'm a PS5 player (ASA). Whenever I decide to install the game again, I'm all hyped to start a new save, but every time I reach day 8 in-game, my game crashes for no reason at all. I start the game again and again, but the same save keeps crashing, and eventually the save file becomes corrupt, leading to the deletion of the one and only save I have.

This makes me get bored of the game really quickly.

So yeah, that's it, I just wanted to share this with y'all!
All love <3

I feel like no one's talking about it, or at the very least, when I look for it, I can't find much info on it.

But the Giga is clearly attacking the Megapithicus in the dossier. Is it gonna be like the Evo one where we can take 2? Do we have any info?

Discussion Can I use thralls to fill the other saddles on the Cerberax on Single Player?

3 Upvotes

I have hundreds of thralls sitting in cryopods, doing nothing.

Could I mount them on a Cerberax on the three head saddle seats, while I ride the main saddle and get the extra dominion buffs?

Due to the testing by u/Tiagozuff2006 we can confirm that it doesn't work.

I am still wondering if Thralls have ever become useful. Feel free to update my ignorance if you have a good use case for them.

Discussion I made a checklist-style guide for ARK: Survival Ascended: artifact caves on all 7 maps, 12 bosses, 30 key tames

19 Upvotes

I put together an ASA guide built around trackers you can tick off as you play:

  • Artifact caves on all 7 maps (The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, The Center, Ragnarok and Fjordur), on interactive maps with real in-game coordinates
  • For The Island: all 10 artifact caves, plus the obelisks, deep sea crates, rare spawns and the biggest metal and obsidian nodes
  • 12 major bosses across The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction and Genesis
  • 30 essential tames: apex predators, flyers, mounts and utility
  • Pages on the Bob’s Tall Tales DLC, achievements, breeding, building and taming

Free, no account needed: https://guidevault.online/ark-ascended/

Corrections welcome: if a coordinate or count is off, tell me and I’ll fix it.

Discussion Why does Ark let the official servers stagnate for years?

0 Upvotes

At this point its been 3 years since ASA dropped and the game on the PVP side couldn't be anymore dead. I've not played personally in a long time because of the state of the game, P2W dinos etc etc - a whole other conversation to be had about the way the devs murdered this game. Anyway back to the topic, occasionally I see ark stuff pop up and recently it was to do with official servers shutting down certain servers - labelling them 'sunset worlds' or whatever it was.

So years on and why not reinject a fresh lease of life into this game & wipe the servers? A lot of players would return and it gives the playerbase stuff to do again. 3 years of maxed out dinos and millions of duplicated loot floating around, it gets extremely stale.

If it was to wipe (0% chance, a man can wish however) they should release like 25-30 servers for each map, maybe i've lowballed that number im aware there is alot of 'mega tribes', but im also going for the intention of less servers = more pvp because tribes would want to take that server for themselves etc.

Could write for hours with random ideas, end of the day this game has became extremely stale and boring. I understand people work hard for their progress on these servers - i've been there, but sometimes things need a time limit so that new life can be brought to them.
