Mod

Simple Trade

The Simple Trade Mod enhances the trading system in ARK Ascendant through a user-friendly and automated solution. Players can set up their own trading posts to list items or creatures and set offers – all without direct interaction with other players.

Improved Egg Incubator

The mod adds a powerful incubator that offers numerous customizable options for more efficient breeding. Thanks to automatic temperature control, it ensures optimal hatching and can selectively destroy eggs based on gender or mutations.

ARK Additions: The Collection!

ARK Additions is an interesting addition to ARK: Survival Evolved, developed by Garuga123. This mod adds ten unique, modeled, and animated creatures to the game, offering a new dimension of taming. A highlight is the Ceratosaurus introduced in August 2023.

Offline Raid Protection

The topic of Offline Raid Protection (ORP) is currently difficult to implement – either with the standard vanilla settings or with the help of mods. Until early November, we had Simple ORP activated, which had some weaknesses (e.g., the ORP function was no longer active after a server restart, and the configuration was problematic). The vanilla ORP also comes with limitations: once a player is offline, all structures and creatures of that player become invulnerable across the entire map.

Genesis 1 - Missions for boss battles have been reduced.

The number of required missions for the "Corrupted Master Controller" has been reduced by almost 50%. This is intended to make it easier for solo players to complete the missions independently on Genesis, start the boss fight, and earn a TEK Hover Skiff.

For this to work, the mod "Configurable Boss Arena + Genesis" must be installed (required only on Genesis 1 and later Genesis 2):

Better Horde Mode (Extinction)

The "Better Horde Mode" mod for ARK: Survival Evolved enhances the player experience during events that involve OSDs and Element veins. Enemies are automatically marked after a standard time of 60 seconds to reveal their positions, and they will be automatically killed after a certain time.

Shiny!

The Shiny! Dinos Ascended Mod brings fresh colors and rare special abilities to the world of Ark Survival Ascended. Instead of always encountering the same dino colors, you can now discover over 40 unique color sets that produce natural yet more striking creatures.

ARK Map: Ice Age

The new map for ARK Survival Evolved "Ice Age" is now making rapid progress and has been released in version 1.3999. - An area of over 75 square kilometers - Impressive redwood forests - Snow-covered jungles and forests - Majestic castles - Over six mysterious caves - Underground regions - Three impressive boss arenas - An ancient temple - Places of civilization - Spacious building areas, ideal for community and tribe constructions Fortunately, the original map developer had to step down at the end of July for health reasons, but a successor has now been found with Project Sumero.

Rare Sightings

Rare dinos are spotted! Hunt and tame them to get special loot and get 150-180 level animals for your breeding.

Appalachia

Tennessee-based developer Timothy Dwyer launched the novel modification map "Appalachia" in December through his "Indi game studio" Kaluga Studios. This map strives to depict the diverse regions of Appalachia, from the frosty north to the scorching south, in diverse biotopes. In addition, the map is intended to offer an expanded range of native wildlife and be less swamped by dinosaurs. Covering an impressive 90,000 square kilometers, the map is substantial and is expected to be up to 65% complete by July.
