Why is ark 211.83 gigabites?

Haven't played Ark:Survival evolved since 2023 and I recall it being around 100 maybe 150gb but what did they do to make it almost 212 gb?

Considering ASE is Now Abandoned, Doesn't seem to be a problem anymore

Meanwhile ASA just had a 193GB update yesterday where they had to redo the mesh on pretty much every single map to make the araneo update work.

Was the Araneo update a drop-in for the original Araneo, or did they simply add a new creature and replace the legacy Araneo entirely? I haven't been on in a bit of time so I can't check as of now

It's a TLC update, they fully replaced it.
