But then there is no real benefit to them being sub-sub-levels, is there? Unreal doesn’t really support that so you might be working around a problem that works in editor but will come back to bite you later, like after cooking your game or something. Or creates weird logic bugs that might not be obvious.

Side note: POM is extremely expensive. Judging by your screenshots you could achieve this effect with actual (normal mapped) geometry representing most of the carved wood details and a simple bump offset if necessary. It will be much more efficient, as well as integrating better with lighting and post-process effects. POM is an expensive hack best reserved for things that can not be represented well using reasonable triangle counts such as highly detailed terrain (and even then only as an “ultra” quality graphics option).

The maintenance was just a server backend change. Nothing player facing

I went ahead and restarted the server. Hopefully that will help with some of the issues you are having. Let me know if you still are having issues.

Wildcard works on ARK, Grapeshot (which is like a sibling team) works on ATLAS.
Dark & Light, Pixark, ARK Park, Wushu Chronicles, and Fear the Night are all either developed by Snail Games or developed by other studios/teams and published by Snail.
Outlaws of the Old West is, to my knowledge, not in any way related... it's not even published by Snail.
I just wanted to clarify those points, but otherwise you are correct, our team isn't massive.
Current events and plans can have impact on holiday event planning.
That said, a Halloween event this year is not out of the question.

I think people who hate diplos are the same kind of people that hate dogs.
Seriously... they are just big, not-so-fluffy, dogs.

Genesis Chronicles


We're making the final preparations for a client and server-side update that will bring Genesis Chronicles to survivors on PC, Xbox, and PS4! Leading up to the release of Genesis we will begin to include Genesis-related Explorer Notes on The Island, Scorched Earth, and Aberration.

Survivors with the cosmetic HLN-A will find some explorer notes provide a glimpse of what to expect in the forthcoming Genesis expansion -- and how it all fits into the larger ARK story.

If you want to unlock a new set of skins for your armor, be sure to collect them all!
