That was actually a miscommunication of how it would work. It's impossible with the way kibble is built for it to continue to work for the creature it was originally for. Instead, it should have automatically turn into the appropriate category for the egg used to craft it.

We have a potential fix that we're testing now.

Maybe! I have to figure it out in Ark Server Manager :)

In any case, this post wasn't meant to be a discussion about cryopods yes/no, just a suggestion for a workaround for the new kibble system since right now is not really profitable to risk to imprint 100% anything less than a very good rex/giga or such, because extraordinary kibble is so difficult to make.

I think you have to add "-ActiveEvent=WinterWonderland" to the Launcher Args.

Thank you for answering.

I get it. And I don't envy your job, I understand that a player base such as this can be very demanding. There also isn't a nice way to tell people 'hey this isn't really a question u need to waste my time on, your solution is on google', but even that would be better than radio silence.

I tried that for a while tbh. But keep in mind that 300 messages was just overnight. Not including what came in throughout the day. Just reading all those messages takes hours much less responding to them all. It just isn't feasible to respond to all that unfortunately. I do what I can.

60,000 players per day, on Steam alone. Not including Xbox, not including PS4.
There are roughly 60 employees (employees -- not developers) at WildCard. That's one employee per 1,000 users, IF they are all answering questions. It is much more likely that there are one or two people actively answering questions while people are doing the actual work of programming/fixing/running company business.
So, for each person actively answering questions, there are 30,000 Steam users to support. Again, not including Xbox or PS4 users.

Now, Reddit is just one outlet where they can answer questions. Then there's Facebook. And Instagram. And so on.
Most of the time, they're already aware of the problem -- should they answer all 30,000 inquiries when something goes wrong, and cover every conceivable outlet to answer questions?

Most people are generally unaware of the logistics involved, and have probably never been involved in tech support.

I actually used to respond to all DMs I got on discord until one day where I checked and had 300 DMs waiting for me when I logged in. It really really cuts into the time I have to do work when I have to answer everyone. Usually it is questions that could be answered by googling. :(

I still answer what I can but I had to cut myself off or I'd get no work done.

Aye - they shouldn't be able to be stored in them, investigating.

We're investigating this.

They should be spread around, we'll investigate.

There was a miscommunication on our part, I can make this more clear on the forums when I’m back in Canada. We did clarify in stream that the old kibble inherits the new values, which does not necessarily mean its for the same creature but of the new appropriate kibble tier.

Ok,so far do the S+-Foundations not have any snap points,and therefore no structures will snap to them and before attached S+Structures.
Otherwise S+ structures will snap on any other modded foundations with no problem.

At least on our server. I don´t know if it´s the same on other servers.

Thanks for the details!

I've been playing on my current Nitrado server for several months now and have literally never seen one.

Interesting, we'll investigate.

What will happen to any existing eggs/kibble in a fridge, etc? Will it auto convert over or be compatible, or is it garbage now?

They should convert into the tier that their egg can be used to craft now.
