Just found the info about the host being the only person able to level up dinos. See info from Google below:

In Ark: Survival Evolved, when playing on a non-dedicated server, only the host player can level up their tamed dinosaurs. This is a known limitation of non-dedicated servers in Ark. Dedicated servers, or single-player modes, allow all players to level up their creatures.

Host's Control:
In a non-dedicated session, the host player essentially controls the server environment. This includes things like difficulty settings, creature levels, and other game parameters.

Why Only the Host Can Level Up Tamed Dinos:
Non-dedicated servers are not designed to handle individual player-specific settings for things like dino levels. The server (hosted by the host player) manages these aspects of the game.

If all players need to level up their dinos, the best solution is to switch to a dedicated server or play in single-player mode.

Hi , is there a way to turn down the rates of elites alpha spawning on a server ?
I have like 2 of 3 of them 24/7 around my base because i'm playing on x5 spawn rates
Thanks

@dinofarmer222 - Do you have other Mod's? Not sure what you mean? How do you add this Mod to your game? Are you asking about Mod load order? Please let me know, cheers
dinofarmer222 28 Apr, 2024 @ 6:29am 
how do i add it ?

@HeyhelloH - Sorry, the color is fixed *Black and Blue*
ʜollǝʜγǝʜ 2 Apr, 2024 @ 3:50am 
is this dino paintable? or the color is fixed?

@nickerson1988 - Not sure what is happening to yours. I just hatched an Elite Allo (no hatching or baby mods) had no problem with claiming, feeding or interacting in any way... My Argents and Frogs all seem fine as well...
Not sure what I can do for you mate, it's hard to fix if I can't replicate the problem, sorry mate :(
nickerson1988 30 Mar, 2024 @ 7:39pm 
@Black and Blue Thanks! That issue I had a while back with the baby Allo, the "couldn't interact with it" thing, came up again recently. I had a tamed Argent and frog in my base, had riden around on them, leveled them up a bunch...Nothing new. Last time I logged on, saddles were gone, "E to equip saddle" came up but couldn't even open their inventory. Respond to whistles just fine. Went out, tamed an Elite Alpha Rex, could pull up it's inventory just fine.

@nickerson1988 - Well kinda, it works with some success however is not quite right with all flyers, I am still working on it, as well as my Map "Bergresar". Also trying to get stuff done for ASA... See how that goes, anyway, I will keep trying to get the edible working and let you know :)
nickerson1988 27 Mar, 2024 @ 12:38pm 
@Black and Blue did you ever add the edible to remove Immersive Flight?
Black and Blue  [author] 15 Mar, 2024 @ 11:45pm 
@Hasan Chop - It shouldn't work with ASA? This Mod is for ASE, maybe you can try Verify ARK game files from Steam page?
Hasan Chop 15 Mar, 2024 @ 1:35pm 
when I first installed the mod. I removed it a while back, and just tried it again, yesterday, with the same results. Drivers are good, none of my other mods are a problem. I want to say that on ASA it worked for about an hour before I crashed....but that's about all I can get in ASA before it crashes, anyway, so can't say for sure. I get the low-level fatal errors that so many others are getting with ASA
Black and Blue  [author] 15 Mar, 2024 @ 2:55am 
@Hasan Chop - Drivers? When did it start to happen?
Hasan Chop 14 Mar, 2024 @ 8:11pm 
I get a crash every time. I've tried changing the order, and even made this the only mod. Still crash. Any suggestions?
Black and Blue  [author] 23 Jan, 2024 @ 2:08am 
@BurnedToTheGround - Aww bugger, sorry to hear that mate. Not sure why that would have happened? Mine are all still there (my test ones). Do you have any other Mod's that may have changed anything? Is there anyone else out there that this has affected also?
BurnedToTheGround 22 Jan, 2024 @ 8:55pm 
The elite quetzal i had my base on despawned.. :steamsad:
Black and Blue  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 8:29pm 
@Xenopsych - I will look into that asap. Thanks for letting me know, cheers
Black and Blue  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 8:28pm 
@Filad - You should be able to level all Elite Alphas, please let me know if this is still the case, cheers
Black and Blue  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 8:27pm 
@Ryuma - Taming method for Elite Alpha Carcha has been made reasonably simple. Wait for an Elite Alpha Carcha to drop an egg, use it to craft the Carcha taming food in your inventory then feed it to an Elite once you have knocked it out :)
Black and Blue  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 8:24pm 
@Ryan - Yes I am working on it right now :) Cheers :)
Black and Blue  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 8:23pm 
@Nomames - Alpha Carcha needs Alpha Carcha egg that should spawn from a wild Elite Alpha Carcha, might take a while to find one but it will happen :)
Black and Blue  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 8:22pm 
@OblivionSoldier☢ - I am still working on possibly an edible that will switch any creature to it's Elite Alpha variant. They are all Black and Blue... Sorry :) I am unsure why the spawned Argent has broken it, should be able to level all creatures. The Immersive Flight Flyers are sluggish while flying up, when you fly down they speed up. You land them by holding "Shift and Spacebar" Cheers
Xenopsych 16 Dec, 2023 @ 3:10pm 
Every time my EliteAlpha Argy picks up a dino that dino grows in size a little bit. I don't know if there is a limit to the size but I made a Pulmonoscorpius the size of a Diplodocus; a Troodon the size of a Carno; and a Doedicurous the size of a mammoth. The sizes reset after restarting the game though.
Filad 8 Nov, 2023 @ 1:51am 
Hello everyone. I have a question, is it normal that you can still level the EliteAlpha Giga and not the EliteAlpha Argi?
Ryuma 5 Nov, 2023 @ 1:52pm 
Hi,

Could you tell me what taming method the Carcha has ?
We are trying the regular method but it doesnt really work...
we kinda get like a pop up window once we fed him some baby rexs, but we cant really interact with him.
Ryan 4 Nov, 2023 @ 1:44pm 
Hello! Any plans to add this to ASA? Black and Blue alphas are awesome!
gamer037 3 Nov, 2023 @ 7:34am 
how do u get the alpha carcha egg to tame the elite carcha if u dont have the taming food (which requires a alpha carcha egg) to tame it?
OblivionSoldier 2 Nov, 2023 @ 10:15pm 
I would love if this worked like the Alpha Everything mod, where any creature from any mod can become its Elite Alpha variant. I do wish they were color-able, and spawning in an Argentavis broke it. I couldn't update stats, and when flying it, it'd just be sluggish as all get out nor would it land correctly.
Black and Blue  [author] 19 Oct, 2023 @ 5:33am 
@Saulrarzi_ - OK Cheers, I will look into it :)
Black and Blue  [author] 19 Oct, 2023 @ 5:32am 
@Kurmes - But they are Black and Blue...... They need to be...... :)
Saulrarzi_ 18 Oct, 2023 @ 7:05pm 
its all vanilla spawn
Kurmes 18 Oct, 2023 @ 11:15am 
More color please :)
Black and Blue  [author] 17 Oct, 2023 @ 8:31pm 
@Saulrarzi_ - Vanilla spawn or did you use spawn code? I will look into it asap
Saulrarzi_ 17 Oct, 2023 @ 12:23pm 
By some reason the quetzal always keep following itself (idk how) and i cant make it stop. i dont know if it happens to other floght creatures but it does with quetzals
Black and Blue  [author] 14 Oct, 2023 @ 11:43pm 
New update has added Elite Alpha Indominus rex

Well that will not work for you...Your friends will get eaten, you will also get eaten, so better just keep running... fast....
Chris 14 Oct, 2023 @ 7:33am 
ok thank you for your return I appreciate your answers and the mod is fun, do not necessarily correct the normal that make alpha is like winning the lottery XD, good mod I valid
Black and Blue  [author] 14 Oct, 2023 @ 12:21am 
@Chris - Still trying to get it working, I will let you know once it is :)
No idea why your normal is creating an Elite Egg... The vanilla Creatures have not been edited at all, the Elite Alphas are all new creatures, not even child of vanilla... Will keep looking at why that is happening. Cheers
Chris 13 Oct, 2023 @ 4:15pm 
hi i try the soup "elite flight conevertor" but the quezal dont eat that, thk
(and my normal argentavis create a alpha argentavis again ^^)
Black and Blue  [author] 29 Sep, 2023 @ 3:14am 
Just in case anyone was wondering.... I have added an edible to tame the Carcha as it was not able to feed. You still need an Elite Alpha Carcha Egg along with other consumables to make the recipe.
Black and Blue  [author] 29 Sep, 2023 @ 3:12am 
@The barbarian - I will remove the Saddles then :) I had them just to make it easy for me to take them home once tamed :)
@Yoichi - It was intended however I am happy to reduce the damage and increase the torpor to try make it balanced (hope it won't upset too many people) - see how it goes
Yoichi 29 Sep, 2023 @ 1:19am 
Of Course it is impossible to satisfy everyone, but i was curious if this is intended and secondly i think balancewise you would agree that 500k dmg for 77k torpor is a bit too easy to get, right? xD
The barbarian 29 Sep, 2023 @ 12:12am 
oh yeah the cryopod loot has stoped now but next issue is that the new saddles dont have the no grind effect on them as it seems and considering the sheer quality of them it totaly can be abused heh
Black and Blue  [author] 28 Sep, 2023 @ 11:48pm 
@nickerson1988 - OK, found the issue with Allo baby, one tick box that had somehow got ticked....
@The barbarian - I have removed all Tamed Inventory except for Saddles from most creatures, see how that goes with Cryopod and let me know.
@Yoichi - I have made a slight adjustment to Giga, I still have some adjustment room left. Trying to keep everyone happy is proving to be impossible:)
All the above were done in last update, please let me know how it has gone, cheers
