yoo, will you get tpd while playing on non deticated session when you enter a cave?
Opy 2 Sep, 2021 @ 10:19pm 
I was getting low on water. A storm started building, yippee. A thunder storm, cool stuff. Wait, it's not raining just thundering. Noooooo.
Got to a lake in time so all good ;)
MechaShadowV2 22 Aug, 2021 @ 3:11am 
So you return again. Is there anything that can be done to help this get speed up? I really can't do modding myself but I'm sure you can find help, I don't mind making some donations.
Gravy 14 Feb, 2021 @ 6:58am 
@Tjoepapke: Wonderful news! Would it help if I identified the glitches that I know of? If you're taking requests :steamhappy: please add an Aberration island. The unfinished one NW of the central island would be a great place. I have high hopes for your map and plan to run an open server using it.
the zigginator 8 Feb, 2021 @ 6:23am 
thank you for the update and still working on it
Tjoepapke  [author] 8 Feb, 2021 @ 6:06am 
Dear Survivors , Saddly enough i didn't had the time for working on this project the past years, On this point i have fixed some issue's inside ue4 , like the glitching caused by some rockformations. I have started with painting the unavailable area's There's still tons of work... i'll try to update the map this summer. PS the website is offline , after the update i will active the webpages. In the mean time have some fun !! and i'm sorry for all those delays, but hey its free...
the zigginator 1 Feb, 2021 @ 9:40am 
is there any chance of this map getting any more updates or is it completely dead?
michaelclever 25 Dec, 2020 @ 10:57am 
Not sure why, but the link to the website and guides goes directly to questionable browser extension prompts for install. Is there a secondary source for these?
michaelclever 7 Dec, 2020 @ 8:33am 
Tjoepapke, I'm really enjoying this map. Just wanted to say thank you.
Gravy 16 Nov, 2020 @ 4:13pm 
@plusing123: No. I wish it was. :steamsad:
plusing123 (dragonheart) 15 Nov, 2020 @ 10:57pm 
so is this still being worked on?
Gravy 14 Nov, 2020 @ 11:59am 
@sashahellsing: No but it is playable. There are two large islands that are mostly complete but both have a couple of map glitches that will transport you to where you don't want to be so watch out for arches. If you spawn in the easy areas at the south end of the one island you'll be relatively safe and have easy access to basic resources including crystal and obsidian. Chitin is scarce at first but can be found in abundance in the desert surrounding the ONLY obelisk and in even more abundance in the desert on the other island. Pearls are also in great abundance on the other island but black pearls are non-existent or at least very rare (I've found none).
There a barren island to the northwest and the map shows islands to the north but you can't get there. Two small islands in the southeast are finished but worthless. The ocean is deep with lots of leeds so be careful how far you stray from shore.
sashahellsing 14 Nov, 2020 @ 10:36am 
is this even complete ?
Gravy 9 Oct, 2020 @ 4:33pm 
If you play this map avoid archways. I have found 3 archways that transport you to the top of the arch if you try to pass under them. One of these has no safe passage off and jumping off is fatal if you haven't been leveling your health. Another archway is a water passage and your raft/motorboat will vanish leaving satchels of inventory hovering over the water.

You can also not sail north of 40 degrees latitude so while the map appears HUGE, only about half of it is finished and/or playable. There are basically two very large islands that are mostly finished.

The two land masses are interesting and offer a strange and often frustrating mixture of gentle paths to help you and sheer cliffs and valleys that require lengthy back-tracking to circumvent. Resources are bountiful but most crystal/obsidian/metal deposits are localized at the volcanoes.

Much of the ocean is VERY deep with steep drop offs and almost no shallows surrounding the land masses.

Click subscribe. Poof, done
ivanguan2702 8 Oct, 2020 @ 4:12pm 
How can i download this map please?
Gravy 24 Sep, 2020 @ 5:07am 
The map is definitely playable and runs without difficulty through Arkserver Manager. To say that it's 60% done is generous and it could use updating to include new material from DLC's. There are some major glitches to watch out for but they can visually be seen from a distance as shining rectangular surfaces. The central island with the easy start locations seems mostly complete and has one of these areas to avoid. As the write-up says, there are LOTS of flat areas for building.

This map has SO much potential. It could easily be my favorite if it were repaired/finished/updated. I'd tackle the project myself if I could.
Grumpy Old Man 17 Sep, 2020 @ 10:10am 
Cant wait for the next update I have been playing this map off and on for 2 years.
Thanks for the reboot!
Gryber72 17 Sep, 2020 @ 8:59am 
This map is awesome! :steamhappy:
Phae 30 Aug, 2020 @ 10:55am 
Yes I was checking back to see how this has progressed. Has so much to offer but I see it has been over a year since anything was done. Guess it is again on the back burner. :(
Typhon Plume 17 Aug, 2020 @ 7:50pm 
Shame it's a wonderful map idea... getting tired of the ones based around a central island. One made of up several islands you might need a boat to get to would be a very nice change of pace.
MechaShadowV2 26 Jun, 2020 @ 12:22am 
I have a feeling it's dead again, oh well :/
Oje Mine 23 May, 2020 @ 7:20am 
I wait and wait, but nothing happens.
Canvas 24 Apr, 2020 @ 3:32pm

Samdaman 31 Mar, 2020 @ 8:14pm 
The link don't seem to be working, they take me to a web page that says "This Site Can't be Reached"
Odin 28 Mar, 2020 @ 10:45am 
@Tjoepapke Hope you continue to find the passion and drive to continue your work on this map. Really like it. Thank you. Odin

Realm Walker 17 Feb, 2020 @ 11:36am 
your map makes rafts and seatravelling as big as it should be
Maken Grapjes 8 Feb, 2020 @ 2:12pm 
god bless you
Tjoepapke  [author] 23 Jan, 2020 @ 6:43pm 
hi all,

i just restarted this project, give me some time and i'll give you the next update :) in the mean time... when i'm working on this map you can always find me on the stream channels.

Have a great day ,
Tjoepapke
MechaShadowV2 4 Jan, 2020 @ 1:21am 
Any word on the update?
Gikma 28 Dec, 2019 @ 9:07pm 
Very ambitious project, we will watch your career with great interest.
papachanman 25 Nov, 2019 @ 8:03pm 
Will it be updated in the future?
The Rickest Rick 18 Nov, 2019 @ 3:01pm 
all engrams?
BEHRAPY 8 Nov, 2019 @ 5:01pm 
TJoe is working hard and has an ambitious map that myself and my friends enjoy on my private server. I love the size. I see Honey location was addressed and is in the works of being added. I am curious about Oil Veins. I have searched the current map and have not found any. I found a handful of oil rocks in the ocean. If its in development that's cool I will just hide pots of oil around the map for my friends to find just like i did with honey.
Chief 8 Nov, 2019 @ 4:12pm 
TJoe be working hard ;)
MechaShadowV2 3 Nov, 2019 @ 7:32pm 
@LegendaryBuck yes. Question for the ather, is Africa done? I dont wan't to make much base building if its going to be changed. Hope South America is ready soon.
