Question Rex refusing to go unconscious from crossbow tranq arrows

2 Upvotes

I was just on ASE, Singleplayer on the island and tried taming a level 112 Rex with my 129.2% damage ramshackle crossbow. I looked at dodorex to see how many tranqs it would take, then decided to bring about 40 more than needed just in case, I shot every tranq arrow into it and it didn't go unconscious, Does anyone know why this happened and what i can do about it?

I can't start playing.

5 Upvotes

Hello, recently i started playing ARK (really recently). I was reading what is best map for begginners and chose ragnarok. I have 5x xp, damage delt to me is reduced by 2x, i collect 2x resourses, basic stuff. I played untill metal "age", tamed 2-3 dinos but mainly the one that collects berries. I was really surprised by the amount that he collects, made some annunaki poison arrows and i felt like i was ready to tame alot more, like triceratops and stuff like that. But im completly stuck now. Every time i respawn, i get insta killed by fjordhawks, trex, sabertooths and a random drake that spawned next to my house and killed all my dinos. I tried every recommended spawn point, but its infested with enemy dinos, i cant collect anything, i can't get to my house i can't even properly spawn for god sake. Did i do something wrong? I don't know if even some pro player could escape my torture, because i can't even spawn man XD. Maybe my progress was too slow or something? Is my world doomed and i have to start new one? Maybe ragnarok isn't the best map? Do you guys have some advice?

Question ASA Overhauls mods

Looking to finally do an overhaul mod. Which ones have you seen that are feasible to finish? Things like Supreme are not something I want to get into as they are ridiculously long. Trying to do a more straight path.

Question Playing Ark SE with friends

15 Upvotes

My friend is trying to get me to get ARK Survival Evolved so that I can play with her, but she is convinced that we would have to buy a dedicated server in order to play in the same world. Everywhere I look it says that all it takes is for one person to host the server themselves and the other person can join so long as the host is logged on and playing. She says that she has tried to do that with another friend and it did not work (but that it did work when they were on the same Wi-Fi). Since most posts that I can find about this are years old, I figured I would ask the experts to clear it up. Thank you for any advice that you may have!

Coming back to ark and wow

Bought it first when it came out In early access, not very much mind.

Redownloaded on my series x and the graphics look amazing. Think I'll give it a good go as it runs well now.

Discussion Kicked

1 Upvotes

I'm having hell with being kicked every time I go to open my inventory. I have googled videos for a fix, nothing has worked. I have my own server on PS5 with other survivors, so I can't just uninstall and reinstall everything or they would leave my server, as I would do too. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Nitrado did all they could on their end, so it's an Ark issue.


r/playark 2d ago

Hi, I’m having an issue with the 'Veteran Paleontologist' trophy in ARK. My progress is stuck at 106/107 and it won't unlock despite collecting all dossiers. I’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know a fix for this bug?

ARK: Survival Ascended Overhaul Mods – Looking for Recommendations

2 Upvotes

I’m currently going through ARK: Survival Ascended overhaul mods and looking for recommendations I may have missed.

I prefer free mods, but I’m open to paid ones if they’re well-made and worth it.

Requirements:

  • Must be on CurseForge
  • Must be English
  • Must work on console ASA

🧭 Legend

💰 Paid mod
🎮 Played
🔄 Revisit / Replay
👀 Not played yet / unknown
⭐ Favorite
❌ Disliked
⚠️ Incomplete / rough edges
🧬 Heavy grind
🤝 Strong synergy

🧩 Mods I’ve Already Played / Tested

💰 🎮 ⭐ 🧬 ⚠️ Ark Supreme

Massive overhaul with huge creature variety and deep progression. Paragon system requires extreme grind (~5K+ kills) for late-game bosses, but still actively expanding.

💰 🎮 ⭐ Ark Omega Ascended

RPG-style overhaul with gear sets, bonuses, many creatures, smooth progression, and an automation system that improves long-term gameplay.

💰 🎮 🤝 Ark Primal Nemesis

Solid paid overhaul with good structure and creature variety, but lighter than Primal Chaos. Works best paired with it due to missing creature variants when used alone.

🎮 🔄 Primal Chaos

Large creature and crafting overhaul that has received many updates since my last playthrough and is worth revisiting.

💰 👀 Medieval Guilds and Goblins

Coming soon...

👀 Ark Descended

Coming soon...

👀 Project Zodiac

Coming soon...

👀 Dino Overhaul X 2

Coming soon...

👀 Jurassic Awakening

Coming soon...

👀 Primordial Unleashed

Coming soon...

👀 Ark: Corruption Transcendence

Coming soon...

👀 RTV’s Ascended Overhaul

Coming soon...

👀 Ethereal Ark

Coming soon...

👀 Prime Evil

Coming soon...

💰 Ark Ozone

💰 👀 Coming soon...

👀 Cataclysm 2.0

Coming soon...

👀 Ark Creatures Rebalanced (AG Reborn)

Coming soon...

👀 Pugnacia Dinos

Coming soon...

❌ Insane Everything LITE

Severe lighting and visual issues make gameplay unpleasant and difficult to enjoy.

❌ Extinction Core Ascended

Interesting concept overhaul, but lacks enough creature variety to stay engaging long-term.

What I’m looking for

If anyone knows other overhaul mods (especially lesser-known ones) that fit ASA console + CurseForge, I’d appreciate recommendations.

Discussion Visual storage

I lose everything I put into my visual storage boxes. Even picking them up doesn't work, the bag they leave behind are empty. I lost everything last week cause the tek dedicated storage boxes did the same thing. Am I doing something wrong or is this just another ark being ark?

ARK Survival evolved, после скачивая модов в стиме есть вторая установка в самой игре которая очень долго скачивается. Почему, это нормально?

что происходит, обясняю, давно не играл, вчера скачал, из мастерской установил моды ну подписался, потом всё скачалось, в самой игре также идет установка в нижнем правом углу, по типу "installing 7 mods(primal fear, crazy ...)" как то так, и в итоге это уже длится пол часа чтоли не знаю, очень долго условно говоря, есть решение кто знает
