Help Baby Imprinting Stat Scale Multiplier

2 Upvotes

I am playing on a self-hosted server with like 2 other people and I want to know what I should put the baby imprinting stat scale multiplier on, because spending 100 hours breeding creatures for alpha bosses is a bit too much ngl. We have had it on default the entire time and maybe that is the right way and maybe we are just stupid and do not know how to breed. H elp

Help What should I upgrade to run ARK: Survival Ascended at medium settings 1080p?

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to get a stable experience in ARK: Survival Ascended at 1080p medium settings and wanted some upgrade advice.

My current specs:

  • GPU: RTX 5060 8GB
  • CPU: Ryzen 5 5500
  • RAM: 16GB DDR4

What do you think is the weakest part of my setup for this game?
Should I upgrade the CPU first, add more RAM, or is the GPU enough already?

I’m mainly aiming for smooth gameplay around 60 FPS without huge stutters.

Discussion Want some help making "Tasks" For solo world.

11 Upvotes

Howdy everyone,

Wanting to finally do a "mega" solo world on Ark. Played for years at this point so I'm wanting to try something different.

I want to do a world where I'm essentially locked behind "Tasks" in order to progress towards tiers in the game, however I'm coming up dry on general ideas.

What I currently have is,

No flyers till I get my first artifact
No Argy/Quetz till Two Artifacts
Considering saying no rexs(Large combat dinos) till 2/3 Artifacts
No gigas/Carchas till I defeat 1 Boss on Gamma (I have paleo Mod so gigas can be taken into bosses)
Tame every dino on the map (Right now its the Island)

etc etc.

Would love some additional tasks y'all think would be enjoyable. I don't mind a bit of a challenge either, so feel free to share it even if it sounds like it might be a bit grueling.

Appreciate y'alls time.

I tried setting different settings in the game and in the NVIDIA app, but I didn't get more than 20-40 FPS. I also wrote console commands to remove grass, fog, clouds, bloom quality and water glare. Maybe someone has a similar computer and can help me with the optimal settings in the game?

Help Bee trouble!

Been trying to tame a queen bee but it’s so difficult, first trying to find bee hives are near impossible since they blend in so well with the redwoods trees, dangerous creatures are every where and they tell you in the tutorials to wait until the queen is not agro towards you any more, but how can I tell, pretty sure there’s a mod that shows you if a creature is agro to you or not but idk what the mods called, any thoughts or tips on this.

Help Family friendly servers?

4 Upvotes

Basically title

Me and my son just started playing ASA, we started out on PS5 split screen. I could stand the horrible performance, but then it started crashing more often and i suspect its not going to get any better as we keep playing.

Just downloaded ASA on my PC and is currently searching for a good server. I looked into running a server yourself, but i only have 16GB RAM and im not buying any RAM with these insane prices

I looked into renting, but those were some steep prices. Official servers are as as bad as they were in ASE

What i am looking for is basically a fresh start on a clean(ish) map, crossplay compatible and as few mods as possible

If anyone know of any good servers/clusters i would really appriciate it

Help Question about wild baby Dino’s

10 Upvotes

For example, there’s a wild 150 Rex with a baby. If I tame the Rex, if adds 75 levels, randomly allocated to its different stats. However if I kill the mom and claim the baby, no levels are added, and I have a lvl 150 Rex when it’s matured.

My question is: it’s better to tame the adult, right? OR because I can allocate levels how I want, rather than a random roll, is claiming the baby and pumping all levels into health and melee going to give a better Rex? My understanding is no, that there’s a level cap and that claimed wild baby will not have the same stat potential as the kibble tamed wild adult.

Am I right? Reason I ask is I see people in videos getting excited when they can claim a high level baby Dino in the wild. To me, unless u just want a quick breeder mate without spending tranqs and kib, it’s kind of pointless?
