In my and other inventories ie smithy fabricator if I put cursor over item it doesn't show the resources I need to build. Any ideas what's up?
Does anyone know what it is on official?
It's on sale for $30aud. I only really play single player these days with the occasional solo run on pvp servers. But of all the items in these packs, I don't really see myself needing to use them. But I also might not see the value in some items until actually getting them either.
What are your opinions, worth the buy?
I want to add some more dinos to it to track them down anyone know how?
Hi I want to start my first playthrough of Survival evolved in a single player world, does anyone have any tips for world settings and general gameplay tips? I started a world with default settings a while ago but kept getting killed before I could do anything meaningful but really enjoy the feeling of what I played.
Survivor Lost
So i beated The island and i uploaded my Character. Then when i got on Scorched Earth i downloaded my survivor and instead of Spawn i clicked Creat new Survivor. Is there any chace to get this character back from the files or some way?? I play on PC.
Hello Everyone,
We recently started a dedicated server with friends on The Island, but we've noticed an issue with materials obtained from Tek Dinos. Specifically, element dust and scrap metal are unusable. We can't convert them to element or scrap metal ingots.
The item names are different from what the recipes require: Element Dust is now called Crushed Element. Scrap Metal is now called Scrap Tek Metal.
We’ve reviewed the mods we’re using but haven’t found anything that could be causing this.
Here are our questions:
Are these item name changes affecting everyone?
Do we need to move to Extinction to learn the relevant engrams?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone! I have a switch and I am trying to find my shockbyte server and I cannot find it anywhere. Why is this?
If a reinstall is avoidable that'd be amazing my internet is slower than 1mb it took weeks to install ark.
I have roughly 2k hours on ASE and 400~ in ASA I have been grinding so hard in my singleplayer world for extinction and my efforts have been cut short by this buggy update.
ive disabled steam overlay, foliage and liquid interaction is off , ive tried turning my graphics down, I updated my GPU drivers and i've still got nothing except this crash. I'm hesistant to disable mods because in the past ive tried that and lost all my stuff.
Specs:
i9 11900k
3060 ti
32gb of ram
1000w psu
I cant remember the exact specifics for the SSD its installed on but its Samsung and 2 tb
here's the error
Fatal error!

any help is appreciated thank you so much
The game is on sale so we were both going to get it, but I’m getting clashing info. I Googled and saw an old Reddit post from a year ago saying that crossplay isn’t yet implemented since they’re trying to work with anti-cheat between console and PC. Some people said that there are console-only servers and then dedicated crossplay servers you can join, and some people were even saying you can only do crossplay if you rent a server for it with irl money. So how does it work?
Is there a secret to getting really cool dinos from Raptor Claus or do I just have the worst luck? I get my "nice" meter maxed out but have gotten so far a level 37 Oviraptor, a level 20 something Ovis, another level 36 Oviraptor and a level 31 Moschops.
I did the parkour mode a bunch so I ended up with 26k credits, when I was spinning the wheel, it kept putting the items in my inventory and not the transfer inventory, so I left and rejoined and it completely deleted my credits, it was on clubark server 323. is there a fix to that or have I wasted an hour of my life
Is the loot for everybody completely useless in the three artifact caves? I only get ramshackle…
ive been trying to play with the primal fear mod but every time i click play it just frezes and i cant tab out so i have to restart my pc dose anyone have anyway to fix this?
Does anyone know why I see a giganotosaurus with a red aura and it doesn't move?
Is there a problem with tek engrams right now? Because I've defeated alpha rockwell and megapithicus and didn't receive a single tek engram.
So i have a good amount of hours on both games but asa just feel like a downgrade compared to ase(on ps5 btw). Imo i think ase looks better, feels better and just plays better. Sure asa has mods, a nice building system(minus the loss of giant hatch frames) and better system settings. BUT i personally believe that all the time that was put into asa could’ve been used to add more content to ase, maybe re wipe official, fix bugs’ add a ps5 version for better performance and even just simply optimising their game more. But instead we got asa, which somehow has more bugs, pay to win tames, turrets on any terrain(diabolical work) and don’t even get me started on bobs tales. Maybe this is just cope because of the nostalgia, but i’m curious of what the pvp community has to say about it.
I have built a tribe tower and have fuel in it and it's running but I have no option to "set max effect" like my friend does on his tower. What am I doing wrong?
My water is grey and I don’t see wild Dino’s get bloody (or my own I think) last night I found a whole list of commands to increase my fps, Im sure one of them did the damage. I would like my water to be clear, not grey and my Dino’s to appear bloody Here is the list of commands.(note it’s a mix of two so some commands may repeat)

Ofiicial servers will let you download things to the ark data, but won't let you upload anything while on extinction. When will they enable uploads? (Ark: survival ascended)
I am planning on doing the gamma overseer fight shortly, and I have a few questions.
I'm taking in 49 rexes with 50k health and 1k melee. I'm also taking a yuty.
I have 1700 armor from flak and a bunch of soups and steaks for weather.
I have 80 med brews
I have a primitive pump shotgun with over 400 bullets, a 300% pistol with 500 bullets, and a 300% assault rifle with 1700 bullets
My questions are:
Am I underprepared?
How should I go about taking my rexes in?
Does the timer stop once I actually start the battle?
I'm playing ASA on PS5, is there a high chance of glitches or crashes?
Any other tips?
Thanks in advance
I used to use a script Technical_Machine_22 made for ASE but sadly couldn't get it to work with ASA so with the help of chat gpt i made this script.
I run the windows 10 store version of the game but had people test it on the steam version and it works with that too. This script must be run as administrator to work correctly.
This is for Auto Hot Key 1.1 NOT 2.0
F3 = Auto run/fly
Alt+O = Click O repeatedly
Alt+E = Click E repeatedly
Alt+T = Click T repeatedly
Alt+A = Click A repeatedly (for crafting)
Alt+Mouse1(left click) = Auto attack
They are togglable. So if you hit them once, just hit them again to turn them off.
There is a tooltip is the top left hand corner that tells you what/if one of the macros is running.
Auto run and Auto attack work outside of the game window. So if you start them and alt tab out, or click a different window like discord, they will still run in the game window so you're free to do other things on your PC.
If you have something you want me to add just let me know. Cheers.

When I download the DLC on the Steam page, it automatically opens the game, and when I'm in the game, I can't play any of the DLC.
Single-play, hosting, and joining buttons do nothing.
