It is unofficial, a couple mods, but nothing that changes dino colors. These are the server settings and mods: https://alliancegamingservers.com/ARK/CrossARK2/Settings

Understood, thank you for the information.

Hello, I'm investigating the cause of this, but I need to confirm what environment you are playing on. There are certain circumstances where this change in colors may be expected.
Are you playing on official servers or is this a personal server?
If it is a personal server are you playing with any mods that add new dino colors to the game?

Pfffft I'm not spilling the beans on how they function. At least some part of the gift has to be a surprise ;)

Why would you want that?! D:
No, Raptor Claus had to take them in because they didn't pass focus testing. I'm sorry.

Well, we sprinkled some elf dust on them, shrunk them down with magic, contorted their bones in horrible ways, and then trapped them in items.
Raptor Claus' little helper troodons had some concerns about the process, but we think it turned out well.

So is that a no? The raptor pounce bug isn't gonna be fixed?

I don't have an answer currently. I don't have visibility on every issue (This one included), and right now we are trying to fry some pretty big fish. My recommendation is to look at the feedback/suggestion board Cedric had set up on the STA main site and see if it's already listed there somewhere. If it's not there, see if you can add it.

Yes, that it's like watching a very angry fish take out a hawk in mid-flight.

Nature is crazy, and I'm not sure that what we can simulate in a video game will ever match the level of hardcore nature can throw at us.

That's sort of news, right?

Indeed this issue is known. We caught it in time to prevent catastrophic damage on dedicated servers, but for SP and non-dedicated it still exists for the moment, we recommend putting your rexes somewhere safe until we can get the fix out to clients.

This isn't technically a bug, but it is a side-effect that wasn't necessarily part of the original objective. The drag weight change is being re-evaluated for alternative solutions to handle the intended objective without the unintended side-effects.

Yes, that was an unintended side-effect. Alternative solutions are being evaluated.

If you think false positives from rocks are bad...wait til you get nailed with a false positive on login because your character has half lagged into the floor

Wall`O`Text incoming. I got going and couldn't stop.

Most of this is based on my personal experience from when I was modding and shouldn't be taken as an official company stance.

We didn't say it couldn't be done, and we didn't say the plugin would have those problems. Cedric was giving fair warning that it could have problems like that. Trying to communicate these things in a tweet though is difficult because a larger conversation has to come in tiny pieces over a long thread which can be missed or we have to try and be reductive with what we are saying while also trying to get the core point across, we don't always succeed in the latter.

A few notes here though on some of these discussion points so far, and some things that haven't been as well:

  1. You can't copyright a concept (thankfully, or else anytime somebody tried to make a new version of something they would get slapped with legal threats, mods would ba...

Greetings Survivors!
It's that time again, I am Zen Rowe and today we’re going to be talking to Eco, the creator behind a plethora of decor mods!

Eco, You likely need little introduction, but for the sake of anyone who has yet to experience your mods tell us a bit about yourself.

Your mods are some of the most popular in the Workshop, Eco. Seeing you branch out into more functional additions like this has been a joy.

Do you have a background or hobbies that have influenced and guided the design of your mods?
I imagine your empire mods involve a lot of historical research.

I'll take ten... uh... for my god-daughter.
Yes... for my god-daughter.

I know a lot of players love your creations in ARK, but it sounds like you lived a fascinatingly creative life as well!

Now if anyone wanted to follow your modding endeavors or wants to...

Yes you should be able to set it in any instance where INI settings would be accessible. Unfortunately I do not know yet if there will be a menu option to set it for console SP though.

There is actually a setting for this that will be going out. It's already in code, it just not in the live version of the game yet. I'll try to make sure Ced includes mention of the settiing in the Crunch when it actually does go out.
