Some of you may be looking for a slightly enhanced primitive experience. The mod is in the workshop. See below for the details:


Primitive+ - An immersive and enhanced primitive experience
A mod for thearktimes.com that looks to add a bit of diversity into traditional primitive servers.

Implemented Changes
[New Ammo] Obsidian Arrow - Made from pure obsidian. Much more effective than the flint arrow. Modified appearance
[New Fertilizer] Bone Meal Fertilizer - Bone meal is a mixture of finely and coarsely ground animal bones and spoiled meat products. It is used as an organic fertilizer for plants.
[Modified Armor Set] Plate Armor - Much less effective than flak armor. 10% more effective than chitlin armor.
[Modified Primitive Weapon Set] - Smithy Weapons Unlocked (Primitive Pisol, Shotgun, and Rifle) These are considered "end-game" for Primitive+ so the materials and levels are bumped.
[Modified Defense Structure] Plate Spikes - Slightly more effective than wood spikes.

What's Next
Custom meshes/art
Balance Changes (Tamed dino vs. wild dino balance, etc)
[New Ammo] Metal Arrow- Strongest arrow type
[New Structure] Water Well - Mostly for cosmetics. Stats will be modeled after reservoir.
[New Structure] Table and chairs - Cosmetics/Non-Functional.

Current Game Modifications
This game uses a specified engram list. This means you won't get new engrams/items until specified by this mod. Since that affects primitive servers less, you shouldn't have a problem. Please be aware it may be a few days before the dev kit is updated and the item is added. For Hosters: You may be able to override it in your .ini settings (WILL TEST). Open to ideas and suggestions!

Current Bugs/Issues
- Sickle missing (dev kit needs updated)

ABOUT THEARKTIMES

A LIVING STORY IN THE MAKING

A light version of roleplay that's fun for everyone! Everyone on the server is a “character”. For example you might be a miner who takes advantage of the plentiful caves. Or you might be a farmer who sales his/her goods on the market. No matter who you are, you are welcome here at the TheArkTimes.com

PVP ALLOWED

No kill-on-sight or griefing. PVP needs to be justified by roleplay. You are allowed to put up a warning to block off an area. If someone enters the area you have a notice on, it’s not considered kill-on-sight.

BUILDERS ALLOWED

If you like to build, no worries! Your base is safe here. There will be no complete base destruction on the server. There is no need to destroy an entire base to get valuables.

RAIDING ALLOWED

See the rule above. Raiding is allowed and encouraged but only when coupled with the rule above.

PASSIONATE ADMIN

A caring admin who doesn't agree with 'cheating' or 'abusing' the system. The server isn't going anywhere. This is a living and breathing story that will be created for the next several years

EXCITING FUTURE

We at http://www.thearktimes.com/ want to create a website experience that will allow you to follow what's going on in the community. In addition to Living Jurassically, the short story, we plan on adding online tribe integration, war declaration systems, trading post, and much more. We also plan on implementing realistic and immersive mods to the game once the modding becomes stable enough.

Help me write my story :) Let's make history
