@Akarimmu - Yes still being updated, unfortunately life is taking over at the moment, my band is trying to complete an Album due to be released soon, so Map building is a little slow. HOWEVER... I will be updating very soon as I have completed a few area's :)

Will this map still be updated? it looks so good for now

The Transition on the map heading East in wyvern Trench @ 62.16x34.86 takes quite the hard hit and freezes you for a good second or 3

@Tentacle Radio - Thanks for the like :) Glad you had fun, I am still working on it but a little slow as my band is recording our album at the moment :) If you want to check out a couple of songs let me know and I will post a link to Youtube or Spotify etc :)

@Puppy - and Raasclark said there are too many flat area's :( Hmmmm

I just wanted to compliment this map, I gave it a go on single-player and had loads of fun! I'd consider this one of my favourites. Thank you for sharing and for the hard work!

needs more flat areas for building

@0hanii.rose0 - Just shaped like a Rex :)

hey, is rex island supposed to be filled with rexes or is it just shaped like a rex?

@Black and Blue Thanks so much for the reply. At this very moment I am setting it up on one of our ASE servers. I have fallen in love with it just as it is, I can only imagine what it will be like when completed. I completely understand about what an undertaking it must be, & I appreciate you doing it. I loved Rex Island, but you have outdone yourself with this one!

@MandyCMoore - Cheers :) Will get both ASE and ASA done (one day) Massive project as it is 3 Landscapes (Main - Above Ground, Aberration - Below and Genesis - Even lower down)
Then there are the 30 odd caves inc underwater ones etc etc, the list goes on :)
However, the plan is to get most of the Main landscape done in ASE then update for ASA (I have already started in ASA but it wont be available for a little while. Anyway, thanks again. :)

Oh, how I wish I'd found this map sooner. I am in love with it! It is exactly what we have been looking for! Will you finish it for ASE or just ASA? Thanks so much! Again, amazing map!

This map is looking amazing!! Hope to try it out in ASA!

@Carved Smiles - Cheers mate :) It is absolutely Dino Mod friendly, I have made a few Dino Mods (look in Map description for those) and they all work fine :)
Will be available for ASA as soon as I can get the new Dev Kit and covert so both ASE and ASA will be supported :)

Map looks incredible brother, hopefully its dino mod compatible so me and a few friends can do a playthrough when asa hits!!! :)

@GoldenIrishRose - Aww thanks 😊 Big job but still going strong, so much more to do. Cheers 👍

sending some love on your hard work. xoxo

@e_r_rock - I can only comment on my own hosted server, I dont have any issues like that. I have had the same issue once on a different map that was my own hosted server however it was the Ragnarok map. Most of the time this type of problem is a mod, perhaps one of your mods is corrupting something? Sorry but I dont have an answer as yet. If anyone else is having this issue, please let me know, cheers. I will keep looking into the issue and see what I can find :)

Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm running a local/semi-private heavily modded server and have been enjoying the map so far except that I have one problem that does not occur with other maps on that server. Whenever I shut down and restart the server, I keep getting informed that I have a corrupted save file and the restart fails. I can only start the server if I remove the save files. The character files are fine so the players spawn in at the level they were at. However, ALL items are gone.
Any thoughts? TIA

@Black and Blue i saw you updated the map, im gonna check one more time and let you know ;)

Still overspawn at the Meteor, will be rebuilding them by next update

@Andoryuu - In completed areas? Please let me know the zone and I will take a look and see if it needs anything :)

some spots on the map are to empty, no trees no rocks nothing

@Tentacle Radio - Glad you like it, still so much to do :) I will be updating almost weekly at least until ASA arrives, then will have heaps to do creating content for both ASE and ASA. I have a few Mods and Maps that will need updating. Let me know how it goes on your playthrough :)

This looks fantastic so far, and I'm happy to see ongoing active development. Well done! I've got this map on my list, I'd love to give it a try on my next playthrough.

Apologies for all the rain (it's Winter here in Oz) I had adjusted rain for testing AB and Old Genesis Zones and forgot to change it back for the update :) My bad :)
Will be fixed within the next few days :)

Current patch fixes Tek Suit fly height, test for Crate spawns and a few minor changes

@C.Q - Cheers I am trying to get updates every Wednesday-Thursday at least until ASA comes out, that will probably slow me down, also most people will be playing that for a while I think. I am always adjusting spawns so keep me posted, if it's really bad please let me know where they are and I can fix it Thanks again

@Ben Insanity - I am working on Crates as we speak, they don't re-spawn that fast for me. I have adjusted them slightly anyway (next update). I am looking into the Beavers, the Dam's do spawn for me, I will check on them anyway also. The fps will be looked into as I am still working on optimization however currently still trying to get everything else built, (it's a big Map)
Blue tint could be the main level fog? As I said above, all these issues will be address as time allows. Thanks for the input

Also-

I noticed there were a lot of Beavers around (Also a HUGE plus I like in a map), but there were no beaver dams around at all. Even after I kept checking back there were no dams in sight. Maybe up the rates of the dam spawning?

Also I noticed some people talking about some performance drops. I have a Ryzen 7 5800X-8 Core Processor GHz and an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and I'm having some trouble as well, but I also have only 32 Gigs of RAM so that could also very well be me. But still, worth looking into I think.

Also, I'm having a weird thing where I have a slightly blue tint on the map. Is that something by design? If not, do you have any idea how I could turn it off? It only seems to be on this

The ship crate respawn time is ridiculously fast. I absolutely love maps with ship crates, and the fact that this one does makes this map VERY appealing to me, however the crates just respawn way too fast. Like sometimes they respawn so fast they reappear right as I harvest them. You can count the seconds you see them respawn on the fingers of one hand. If it were at least maybe 1-2 minutes then that would be better, but it's just too lightning fast of a respawn time. On top of that, the crates are almost empty. 85% of the time I hit them they yield nothing at all, so then after you hit all of the crates you pretty much wasted your time because they give you 4 Jerky and 2 oil total (Technically that wouldn't be too big of a problem since the crates respawn so fast so you can exploit them hehe). Maybe take the crate rates from Fjoldur? They have crates and they're very well balanced in my opinion. You could just use the ones from that map and I think it would be much more fair.

@thornic2006 - I have checked the Tek ATV on other Map's inc "The Island", it jump's around and behaves weird on all of them (See link from Google)

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/346110/discussions/0/3051633726584618434/

I will keep working on Tek Suit height issues :)

@dayneh - I checked H9 and all surrounding area's, no weird issues with creatures (wild or tamed), they all seem to be walking, flying, and running properly i.e. no hopping :)
I still haven't had a lag issue, except the usual lag spike every 10 mins or so, but that happens to me on every Map inc "The Island". Please let me know if you have the issue on the other Map's you were trying. Cheers :)

Thanks For the response I am playing Lost Island now to see if it on my end probable play Rag for a wile to see if it happens there. May be on my end.

@daynah - Thanks :) I will continue with this map even after ASA, will most likely have 2 versions.
My PC is lower spec than yours, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.59 GH
64 Gb RAM
GeForce RTX 2070
I run the game in 4K Epic settings except motion blur, light shafts etc
I don't have a lag issue, I will look into it and also check the H9 Creatures
Thanks for your input, will keep you posted also :)

@thornic2006 - Cheers :) I am aware of the Tek Suit glitches, I think it has to do with height limit for suit, I have been working on that for a few weeks, no fix as yet. I will keep trying. I was unaware of the Tek AV, will have a look and see what is going on with that also. Will keep you posted. :)

This is a very good map and I thank you for still working on it considering that ASA is still coming out. Because I won't be buying it and still intend to keep playing the original ARK. The only problem I am have is the lag for me is on most of the map. I don't thank it is my PC I am running a Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900F CPU @ 2.80GHz
Logical cores 20

Display device : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 on GA102-A GPU

And I noticed yesterday that the last update on my map it shows at H 9 the animals including tamed ones are in the air and hopping around like rabbets. Kind of cute realy

First off wonderful map. I put this on a server for my friends and I. Two major glitches we noticed are when flying in tek suits near the wyvern area we glitch under the map and it sucks our health. the other is the Tek ATV does not like the map at all it acts all kinds of weird. Other than that we have been having a blast on the map.

@The Visitor - Thanks 😊 let me know if you have any other issues 👍

Wonderful I thank you for your very quick update now the map looks super good with the right sky and, as I said, has the perfect size ;-)

@The Visitor - Should be fixed now :)

@The Visitor - Sent a friend invite, take a screen shot and I will look at it on your steam page. Cheers

thanks for your quick answer^^ as during the day it is pink at sunset yellow-orange and at night pink-red
I turned off all mods, unfortunately nothing changed, how should I send you the pictures?

@The Visitor - Thank you :) The sky, does it flicker? Or is it like the same color for a while if the sun is setting or coming up in the morning? Can you take a screen shot maybe?

Hello :-) I think your map is just great so far for me even the only one of most maps, but I have a question, the sky turns orange or red or pink from time to time and unfortunately I don't know why anyone has an idea ?

@Puppy - Always :)

Please keep working on this map

@im.jewels - Cheers, will do :)

looking good, keep up the good work : )

Yay! BEES! :)
