That looks like he's on our server, just across from you Pen. Arms old base.

That's what I thought but there's no ruins on the other side of the river where that is.

WELL Spotted! That's exactly where I am, stood at the window just chillin

Galatoni will cry happy tears if you are thinking of a Prim+ server man, it'd be nice to wipe the island and see the new caves etc with fresh eyes Sounds awesome!

No hate for the Centre though, I mean it's still amazing, I'm just bitter about the bug that killed my base

[Penfold]

We were going to launch it as Prim+ Is now available for dedicated servers but a swift glance at the forums tells us it's bugged.

As soon as it's good we'll spin one up and have a go.

About the pic - I got it now - Was thinking about it being a different elevation (i.e. back to North) to where he was. I see now that his back is to the East.

Ark is now more dangerous then before!!!

Running around with scissors!!! I'm feeling the adrenaline and yes, I look like a hobo. Waiting for Sith to cut me up... my hair that is...

[OldBloke]

I hope sulky is covered in hair. Anything to hide that massive noggin of his.

[Penfold]

HAH too true, oh so true.

[Galatoni]

OK. I'm in on Prim+. I have a goal to build a tavern

Ouch...

Fixed TheCenter destroying structures on floating island in pve (not retroactive)

That'll make some people really unhappy I'm guessing if their bases have been wiped...

* Element no longer spoils, and bosses drop approximately 33% more Element.
* Increased damage of Tek Projectiles and reduced Element cost.

* Tek Pants ability no longer consumes element when coming into contact with/destroying the destructible foliage, and uses the original amount of element for running over time.
* Added a new Wild NPC Stasis Range scaling-for-player-count option to scale server performance for more players (requires inputting into INI, not commandline), example:

GameUserSettings.ini:
[ServerSettings]
NPCNetworkStasisRangeScalePlayerCountStart=70
NPCNetworkStasisRangeScalePlayerCountEnd=120
NPCNetworkStasisRangeScalePercentEnd=0.5
