I had a huge fight with walls lining up when I was adding another level to our tower. I was doing it on ceiling tiles and it was acting like each ceiling tile was its own snap point. So walls were snapping to one tile then the next wall with snap to the ceiling tile on the other side. Which left many walls slightly off alignment.

Being a bit of s perfectionist, it made for lots of tear downs. I don't remember ever having this problem before. I guess I need to check the forums.

Exactly. Something is messed up with the snap points. There appears to be a snap point to the top of the wall that you are building on (an edge snap), and then also one on the top of the ceiling tile (a surface snap). When you go to place another wall the game appears to just pick one of the two. This would be fine if it were not for the fact that they don't line up and it doesn't always pick the same one.

It gets really frustrating if you are trying to put a fence foundation between 2 regular foundations or ceiling tiles. There are 3 snap points in that case. On the inside edge of either foundation and then split right down the center.

When searching the forums for similar issues/solutions, I came across a mod: http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/481115363877361228/

Implementing would involve a lot of rework as we'd still have to rebuild, but perhaps if we start from the top and build down it could all snap together without restraint into the ground.

Of course, this doesn't solve the current problem, but it could potentially remove the uneven ground from being an obstacle to a more complete fence.

Looked like someone might have gotten dc'd yesterday during fence building. Popped on very briefly and castle and fence gates were both open and Manny was outside the fence. Brought him back in and shut the doors.

That's strange. I'd hope that if someone got disconnected and couldn't get back on they would at least post on here so someone could log in and close up shop.

Agreed. Anyone missing?

I didn't notice anyone missing, but I didn't do a roll call. There was a wild carno roaming around not too far away from the open gate when I popped on, so it is possible.

Reading the dino spotlight today for Diplodocus... allows 3 total riders. The two non-drivers can use bows/cross bows while riding. Bout time!

Jumped on for a bit last night. Didn't really accomplish very much, but I did kill an alpha raptor next to the base and got the following:

Mastercraft Pick: 170% damage
Mastercraft Hatchet: 190% damage

Very nice.

I think they need a refrigerated trough, or an automated feeder from a refrigerated unit. Crap spoils too quickly, lol.

That's awesome. I've never seen two mastercraft tools in one drop.

I lost two sets of journeyman/mastercraft tools getting our two plesiosaurs. I need to go back to alpha hunting and get more, then learn to leave everything in the base before I go swimming.

First couple of times I went swimming, I left everything behind but a weapon. Probably a good idea, lol

OH MY ZOMBIE DODOS! YESSSSSS!!!

This Wednesday on 28th of October the ARK will be undergoing a brief seasonal change where the air becomes cooler, the days shorter & the nights longer, the moon a certain shade of red, bats and other nasty creatures appearing above-ground, carvable pumpkins sprouting up, rumors of powerful undead beasts roaming the land -- and emerging from the mists, the mythical Dodorex makes its appearance at last astride an army of bloodthirsty zombie Dodos, with limited edition treats for those Survivors brave enough to take on the many tricks of ARK: Fear Evolved!
Oooooooo! - DodoRex, scarecrows, custom Jack-o-Lantern carvings, Skelesaur Costumes, Candy-Corn loot drops, Witch Hats, Masks and a Saddle for your spider! (I think I'm a little too excited)

EDIT FOR YOUTUBES!!!!

That dodorex may be impossible to kill. These guys lost 7 or 8 level 200+ t-rex trying to take one down, and it never even got bloody!


Edit because I realized post wasn't showing up correctly.

Oh, and I found this (well, someone else did. I spent all my game time last night playing SoM while I waited on the Ark update).

Shaft your pet T Rexes and Carno are in the water at Carno Island. I think they were chasing a bat. Those things are a hell of annoying.

I managed to get all but one rex back on land. There is still one in the water but it is standing not swimming so it shouldn't drown.

Thanks man! I'll be on tonight and will gather them all back up close to the feeding trough.

Anyone want to go Dodorex hunting? I heard they are easy to drown if you can kite them to water and also take crazy fall damage. I'd like to go after one for the achievement and mask but no way gonna fight it straight up as they are insanely OP.

I'd say be careful because the last update "Improved Dodorex AI"

Ya I'd never take one on. I just want to see if i can kill an easier way as I do not want to lose my dino army o that beast. My plan is to take 1 really fast ptera and go hunting. I'd just run for it if i was not able to just kite somewhere near water though.

I haven't seen one yet, but can you not hang from an argent and pepper the crap out of it?

In the youtube video I posted, that was the first thing that they tried. They weren't doing damage, so they brought in a hoard of 200+ t-rex. That didn't work and they lost all of them without scratching it.

Edit: Reading fail: I thought you meant attacking it with the argent, not hanging from it.

I still doubt it would work. Remember how much damage the alpha rex took when we tried that? Then, the next time we fought an alpha rex we took it down relatively easily with a couple of regular rex and a few miscellaneous others. That dodo rex in the video seemed to suck up HUGE amounts of damage without ever showing a scratch. I didn't watch the whole video, but they lost 7-8 high-level t-rex and it didn't blink. I think this is something made for a big server with multiple tribes' dinos. But yes, it'd be worth just about anything to find some way to bring one down so we could get the skin.

I'm gonna make an assumption here that you can't tame one. Cause that would just be awesome, lol

Ok, what about kiting into a metal taming pen lined with metal spikes? it can't destroy the walls and it would gave us an easy way to just shoot arrows at it while it takes damage on the spikes?

Sooooo there's a haunted graveyard on top of metal plateau...




Also - DodRex info: http://ark.gamepedia.com/DodoRex
Only appears at night with a large group of dodos(?)
Can easily destroy metal buildings so my taming pen idea is out

Thanks Wee! I can't think of how that could have happened. I always log off from my little glass house on the south wing of the castle.

I'll try to be on tonight after we finish with kid stuff at the church. I'd love to see the Halloween update, but I haven't been on in a while.

Your body has been floating near the left-hand gate just inside the fence for several days now...

I want the whole server to fight a Dodorex so we can get masks and the achievement. Anyone down for this? If we can't find one, I can always spawn in one.

RIP.

Can an admin see of one of my T-Rex is under the world and move it back to the ground? I spent two hours early this morning searching for it. It was behind me and then I turned around and it was gone. It doesn't have a name yet but is wearing a costume and is level 249. Last seen around lat 26.8, lon 71.4. I'm logged out nearby in a makeshift camp with some Carnos and another Rex.
