The beach needs more rock spawns. not the ones you mine but the ones you pick up. i spawned in north and it took me about 10 minuits to find a piece of rock to craft the first tool. also going around the eges of the map (Following beach) the mountions faceing the end of the map are very rough. needs a little more detail or needs to be brushed so it doesnt look like the immgage was streached (Loving the map so far tho!)

Thanks Wyatterp1423

Yeah all the beaches will have more stones etc and foliage some of the mountains havent had a beauty pass yet and are just place holders.

I am waiting for the Editor update so i can put in all the new dinos etc and the map will have a lot more polish.

where do you find obsidian?

Should be some under the double waterfall east coast of the starting area and some up north in the snow area check underwater :)

are direbears currently on the map? like spawning properly and if so where do they spawn? (i want to start playing this map agian but i want to know if its fully updated)

Dire Bears yep there are some up north in the snow area and i think so on the main map i use the standar spawners so what ever ark add should go in unless its something special like gigas etc.

Its still a work in progress so lots still to do :)

oh man i am exited to try the map since this is a post your feedback page are there any easter eggs? like cave paintings that reference people/other games?

I am still working on Landscapes, I still learning it takes ages to do anything in the dev kit and do it properly What with the dev kit crashes etc becomes a little annoying at times as you fix something and break something else :)

And they havent finished there game yet so everyfew weeks they change stuff or add stuff.

I will be putting in a lot of things or interest once i am done with adding terrains and areas.

Try it but remeber its still a Work in progress for example i have a problem at the moment with the clutter layers and some dinos are just not appearing and they are set up the same as the island..

I am working on it :)

can someone tell me were Beaver spawn's

Hmm I just had a look Beavers should be in the swamps.

But it seems i may have broke them when i did a update, They will be back Next Update sorry the editor goes a little funny after a update.

I just wanted to say I am running this Map on one of my servers and with it being a WIP I am Loving it. I look forward to every update, I am making a list of small things i see that need to be fixed but so far nothing major , floating rocks and some trees/bushes. I always keep in mind that it is not a finished map and there is more work being done. In my opinion it is well worth the wait. Well done @vwcamper keep up the amazing work. Looking forward to the next update.

Hi Justa T

Thanks Mate thats all i need to keep going :)

I am getting there take ages to get all this stuff in feel free to post any floating rocks etc I spent all day today about 8 hours fixing things the new editor broke !

Modding a alpha game is hard as they release a new editor and it breaks stuff and i dont even know what they change so its trail and error and looking around to find whats not working any more.

:)

Hey VW,

as I mentioned in the comments I've had a test server up for this map for about a week now.

So, I love that you've tried to make a lot of the areas flat for building purposes on the spawn island, yet you've still managed to make it interesting and detailed. I can see some things that are a little out of place but all in all for a WIP map the starter island is amazing.

The south island is mainly barren at the moment but the 2 points of interest on it are cool (the arena and the 'spider' cave (the one with the web wrapped body) I like the paths through the foilage near the arena to, it adds a nice effect.

I haven't spent much time up north in the ice, though I have seen that the dinos don't spawn much up there (could just be because we don't venture up there much.)


I also like that the map is mostly water, I'd love to see some areas only accessible from underwater, like maybe a network of caves and hidden areas.

I don't know if its possible and I'm not sure what you are planning with all the glowy statues around but it would be cool if you could add an area you could only get to if you've made a pilgrimage to all the statues (perhaps make an offering) though I think that might be a bit much for just a map.

lastly I like that you've not gone overboard with ground clutter, its so frustrating on other maps when you die and there is a mass of waist/chest high vegetation obscuring your corpse.


I think all the things that I dislike are just things that you've not yet been able to finish, which is why I hesitate to mention them, but things like the waterfalls, some of them just float there not attached to a water source, making it look odd.

the rest I'll just put down to WIP status for now, awesome map, keep up the good work.

Fuzz.

P.S
sorry for the novel :P
