Another mod worth looking at

[Liberator]

Ooh, me like.

[OldBloke]

I have spoken with Sith and have agreed to set up the test server as a fresh install running the 'The Center' map.

I do this purely for you guys to test as this map will shortly be 'official'. It makes sense for you guys to have experience of it should it feature in your future plans for the community.

[Galatoni]

Awesome!

[Jamoe]

Very nice I think I've purged myself of Ark enough now to give it another crack.

[Penfold]

Sounds great.

[Snokio]

It does looks nice! I still have a 1.7gb d/l on a the workshop mods but hope to join and have a look sometime in 2 months and 1 week, 23 days, 14 hours 53 minutes and 12 seconds.

Played a bit with the mod, but there is something wrong with it, at lvl 10 i am able to learn an industrial forge and the riot helmet (you need to be lvl 40 to finally get it, but still that should not be in there or should it?)

[Galatoni]

Unfortunately there are bugs related to when the game is loaded and played on top of an existing save. I'm assuming the database is corrupted because of the vanilla items and things being removed. There is a good chance that the item id's that are normally used for the items are incorrect, and therefore other items are being used in their place.

Up 'n' running. Fill ya boots

[Galatoni]

Had a look last night (and had a tour on my own local server as well). The islands provide a reasonable amount of isolation. As to be expected by an officially supported map, its both beautiful and well constructed. Lovely.

I had a play briefly. It's harder alright - just as I wanted So certainly no complaints from me. I was hoping we could potentially give the primitive mod a spin if people agree.

LATEST ANNOUNCEMENTS
There are now official ARK servers for Primitive Plus! Keep in mind the mod is still a work in progress. Come by and create a new survivor (while the land is plentiful )

...

It will become important to branch out and make expand your network because of individual specializations and an economy that supports supply & demand. While there will be a 'general' speciality, it won't allow you to enjoy the more advanced nature of specialization. Primitive+ is not necessarily meant for an offline or single player experience due to this fact. However, many people enjoy it in a single player experience.

- From their official mod page

Long story short, I think it'll provide a means for teamwork as well as community amongst people as they gain levels. No single person can master everything needed to build a really thriving community (though they can cut out a living for themselves, even on their own. What do people think about this?

It would be really nice Oldie

It would be really nice Oldie

I'm not sure what's being requested now :blink:

Do you want both 'The Center' and 'Primitive+' on the test server?

[SithAfrikaan]

Do you want both 'The Center' and 'Primitive+' on the test server?

Yes exactly, since the map is called, the mod just loads as normal like before I think?

Also, I think if there's just one setting that needs  tweaking, I'm not sure what its set to in the ini at the moment its:

"HarvestAmountMultiplier" it needs to be higher than what it is atm, if it's 1.0 then 1.5 or even 2.0 would be fine, at the moment it's not harvesting anything from the ground near what it should.

Thanks so much with the efforts for the test server Oldie, I've just got back from america and am already in it having a snoop, have you had a look?
The map is literally breath taking!

Thanks again!
PS: I spawned in to this view:

Test server updated to 240.4

[Whitey]

Primitive Plus is now running on the test server.  I can see some graphic updates but think we'll need to start with a new toon for it to work correctly.
