I love these things. The Ant Queen is actually an excellent flyer for combat, weight, and stam, but the best part is you can shoot off the back of them. What you missed too was that perishables in the ant hill last much longer than normal creature inventories, kinda like a preserving bin. This is amazing because I have a sheep farm that are constantly on breed and when the babies starve, the ants will go collect the mutton and I'll get ample amounts of pelt and hide. So I usually have mutton on stand by with tons of materials. Works great for other material farming too, like silk from moths. I believe the Ant Queen is a custom model made by Garuga surprisingly enough. Also, I don't know if this is just me but the breeding for some of the other creatures isn't working and I'm aware that you have to enable it in the INI files, but yeah, not working properly. If you could report it or show case breeding with the Eurypterid, Meganuera, and Jellyfish, that would be most appreciated~
My opinion the best part of the untamable. Adding nests for the bugs and a queen was such a good idea and feels so vanilla. It really should be..I love this mod made the ants an actual threat if there are many.
I always wanted a bug army. I wish the bee queen and bees were better like this rendition. First taming a queen bee I got excited, thinking I would be able to breed and make strong bees...later to find out it's just a honey producing work station 😢
WAIT! The fact that the ant queen and soldiers are the same level and likely also the same stat spread means you can get a high-level queen and it has an effect! I imagine you can seek out high melee queens for defense or a high carry/decent melee for harvest and repair hills!
Oh boy, I am warning everyone here from the experiences I made with these guys in Ark Survival Evolved. Do NOT underestimate high level Ant Hills. Especially if you do not have high quality saddles. Once the Ant Hill gets destroyed, all the emerging Soldiers get a respectable Attack and Defense Buff, and if you cannot remove them in time, they will shred everything. They also do massive stamina drain on their attacks, so you can end up not being able to retreat from a relentless swarm of warrior ants. I remember once barely defeating a high level hive with a Dinopithecus, and being unable to regenerate stamina for 5 minutes straight due to their stamina debuff.
Actually this can be very useful when you really need Cementing paste. Just find a nest, hit the nest with a frog and eat away the ants and you’ll get tons of cementing paste!
If your tamed queen has a effect from the shiny mod then the ants that come out of the nest can have it. I have one frozen and one fire. Pretty funny to randomly see a flying ice cube or ant on fire.
I have some serious ant trauma, but this is fantastic. I don’t even really care about balance for this one, we needed titanomyra to be like this. This is such a great addition to the game. Thank you for the spotlight, Becca, and thank you especially for the Walking with Prehistoric Beasts episode 1 reference. That’s one of a few books I took with me when I moved recently, and the movie remains among the beast I have ever seen❤️. I would love to see more Darkedge gameplay, but you have a lot on your plate right now. Besides, the love you have for what you do is what makes you such a treat to watch, so keep doing what makes you happy. Darkedge clan for life!
11:29 shlorp 🤣🤣 the mod looks good! Sucks I am still unable to play ASA, don't have a PC or console but maybe soon 🥲 seeing mods for ASA makes me really excited for when i get a ps5 because there are some really cool ones!
It's wonderful to have more insects! I am glad to see they made ant queen and ant nest. Entomology for sure! Start your kingdom of giant insects! Bee, ant, moth, earwing, beetle, and mantis.
Mmmmmmmmm. Comrades. Today, we dine in the dunes of scorched earth!!!! LET THE HORDES OF ANTS FLOW FORTH! Every ant in the colony outside the nest will attack if too close
Used these guys back when achorched earth dropped, and had 4 that were lvl 140 or above acting as turret towers at each corner of my base on small towers, setting them to aggressive, it was very fun
A few things worth adding, the anthill not only has the weight reduction, it also refrigerates. Additionally, when paired with mods like Shiny, the spawned ants can inherit the attributes of the queen; i.e. a holographic queen can spawn holographic workers (which if made permanent, can be used as shoulder pets) 😜
learning she didn't know what the ants looked like up close gave me the thought I'd do somewhat well in Rockwell's era because every time I kill something unfamiliar in a game I study the cadaver like how they'd do in that discovery age of Europe
can they only harvest crops and corpses? kinda wish we had a termite hive that we could feed with thatch to create cementing paste and or stone-because i hate having to tame a doedicurus every damn game cuz its the only way to get stone reliably
They harvest bushes, trees, and corpses. Little tip. If you want a ton of paste while using the mod breed dragonflies or fight an anthill and kill the ants/baby dragonflies with a frog.
you can also tame the queen by not killing her subjects and eventually she will start coming out the anthill and start riding on ur shoulder that’s when u need to kill the classic insect enemies to do the other tame method
Dude this ant nest thing could help resolve some cementing paste issues with scorched earth it could work like a beesnest producing cementing in a slow but passive way and also helping scorch deal with the lack of decent flyers
For some reason i don't get notifications when you upload a video its only happens to me with your channel & also i cant find your videos on the subscribed channels area Anyone else with this problem??
@@DarkEdgeTVSurvival Yeah ist also really cool! On my singleplayer Center map they sadly don‘t spawn. Maybe its because i‘m playing on the PS5. Do you know why they don‘t spawn?(I also can‘t cheat them)
@@Tvmanwithnocontext bro the thing is I just wanted to know as instead of some cool unique creature the team just adding rock drake jr . Like imagine a carnivorous sauropod with avine like neck
@@Tvmanwithnocontext hey random stranger if we have started talking let's get to know each other . My favourite creature is rock drake and favourite map fjordour
My thoughts, are the hate against Yi Ling is completely blown out of proportion I'm expecting it to have a basic climb like Thyla, and a glide like a Terror Bird. It's already described as fragile, and the recent teaser image had red crystals, implying it's in the red biome. I don't believe it'll be viable for rock drake eggs at all so it won't "break the progression" of Aberration. I guess sure some might see it as useless because of that, but I'm excited to wait and see for myself ^^
This gave me a thought y'all should do a evo version of the ant but make them slightly larger to be rideable like the scorpion while the queen be bigger
@@DarkEdgeTVSurvival Huh, I know, I was being sarcastic - I was gently calling out the fact that you're not really active on X. Anyway... Good content. Keep it up. 🦾🇺🇲
From what I understand, the queen is a custom model.
Also, the wild anthill is actually amazing to farm cementing paste with a frog 🐸
Yeah, it's a modification of the flying ant model that Garuga did for Myrm
My least favorite creature turned tameable and rideable, IM IN!!!!
My favorite feature: the soldiers no longer spawn in and aggro on me from 500 meters away
And ruin your tame when they are trying to attack YOU
The yi ling will be my favorite if it’s the way wildcard explained it

The best defense system always have hive in defense level 5 lol

The ant queen is actually made by garuga. I don’t know how much he actually did with it to change the base model, but I know he did change it

Finally A N T S C A N A D A in ark
Thank you for this video! I've been trying to tame 1 and I don't know how to.
This is super cool. What a great utility tame!
I absolutely love little nuisances like the ants that nobody really thinks about getting some love :D
Damn that are some great ideas. Now I want something like that in the base game D:
Ive been asking this for ages!
Next one I think should be the eurypterid or leedsicthys.
you can also tame the queen by not killing her subjects and eventually she will start coming out the anthill and start riding on ur shoulder that’s when u need to kill the classic insect enemies to do the other tame method
These were always nice for early game defense, same with Compy. Though Compy is also good for exploration defense as well/Hunting assist.
You got my attention immediately. Definitely a little curious.
When you took off after the ant, I just wanted to go along and follow the ant... we could have followed ant... it would of been fun.
I aggre that it's cool to be able to take a closer look at the models.
The ants if not mistaken can kill players off the mount and drain dink stam fast so it would actually be good
Dude this ant nest thing could help resolve some cementing paste issues with scorched earth it could work like a beesnest producing cementing in a slow but passive way and also helping scorch deal with the lack of decent flyers
That is just brilliANT.
so if we got multiple, we can have one on aggressive and one for farming for just collecting meat :D
I didn't know this existed, I was going to suggest this as a mod haha
Cool chitin and meat farm. Well, in theory.
I think i just found the ark informational channel i like ^_^
Wonder if the ant hills can be placed on a Titan scorpion if she is placed on a foundation?
Did anyone least who say this was like “ HELL NOOOO
Is there a kentro mod to ride it ? Or is that not a thing?

Does a new mod dinosaur
I'll keep the video on in the background and add another comment once I get to watch it.
Is there a spawn command
Dude if this made it to official it's basically an infinite cp farm with a frog
Has anyone figured out the way to fix the eating animations when your creatures are idle
Is veggie cakes the only thing the queen will take or eat for tame? Can someone explain just got the mod and can’t tame a queen
It's only cakes or honey
