* Further improved server performance by a significant margin (~10%)

Someone has a sh*tty job if he has to the check the rates on that.... :getmecoat:

Servers updated to v254.9

Servers updated to v254.94

v254.94
* Troodon now have 50% less night-time targeting distance to players on-foot, and 15% less run speed
* C4 attached to Dinos or Platform Saddles can no longer be remote detonates through world geometry
* Fixed harvesting resources not properly adding to completely-filled stacks
v254.93
* ARK Valentine's Day Event until February 20:
*** Dinos will, 10% of the time, drop Box of Chocolates when they mate. Box of Chocolates can be used for a Full-Heal or to advance 50% of a Taming Dino's Bar
*** New Unlockable "Romantic" Facial & Head Hairstyles (via craftable Items), for Male & Female, New Unlockable "Heart" Emote
*** Servers can launch with "-vday" to get (extra): 2x Mateboost Range, 3x Mating Speed/Mating Recovery, 3x Baby/Egg Maturation Speed, 1/3rd Baby Food Consumption (all Officials servers are running with this)

* Reduced lag on Inventory Menus
* Hair now reacts to being underwater, phyiscs and materials
* Fixed various misaligned or missing water physics volumes on TheIsland
* Server custom "HarvestAmountMultiplier" now works as it used to, to bias towards yielding rarer items. This is more costly for server performance, so if you want a more "optimized" server with high HarvestAmountMultiplier (but less rare items), you can launch with ?UseOptimizedHarvestingHealth=true

v254.91
* Fixed issue with getting items with servers using HarvestHealthAmount greater than 1. Requires server update!

Thanks Oldie

Servers updated to 254.944

* Fixed issue with Harvesting saying "X Item Removed." (Requires Server Update!)
* Added server "?ClampItemSpoilingTimes=true" which will clamp all spoiling times to the items' maximum spoiling times. Useful if any infinite-spoiling exploits were used on the server and you wish to clean them up. Could potentially cause issues with Mods that alter spoiling time, hence it is an option.

v255 has been released but I'd like to hold off updating the servers until the first patch is released (a bit of prior experience being exercised here).

Of course, if anyone wants the update done now then I will be more than happy to oblige.

Servers updated to v255.2

v255.2
* Ammonite Blood can no longer be applied on Fishing Rods (for now)
* Wild Thylacoleo now properly attach to trees
* Tamed Thylacoleo can now pounce-grab wild creatures on PvE

* Fixed an OpenGL crash that could affect Linux/SteamOS/Mac
v255.1

Rocket Launcher can no longer have Item Stats (though its base Damage has been increased 20% to compensate). Rocket Turrets now take a slight amount of damage when they fire, and can not fire under 5% HP.
* C4-carrying Flyers now move at a fixed slow speed.
* Item Stats on all Official Servers are now clamped to negate the old no-longer-achievable OP items generated by then-unbalanced Fishing Rod.

* Added option to auto-destroy claimable decayed dinos on load, rather than have them remain around as Claimable. To use this, run with ?AutoDestroyDecayedDinos=true. Official PvE servers now have this enabled.

Thanks Oldie.

I see there's a few threads about Primitive Plus online. Is it worth giving it another shot?

Why not

[DuVeL]

Let me know when you start on this Primitive +. I've only played Monday because I needed to put gas in the generator and before that haven't started up the game for a few weeks.
I've been playing some BF1 instead.
