    For fertilizer, build a couple of compost bins then tame a phiomia (pig looking thing) and force feed them stimberries for the ultimate shit show
    When you're raiding beaver dams, you can press O on the wood while it's still in the dam to Chuck it out, you don't need to take it into your own inventory first😊
    You can go penguin clubbing with the kairuku for organic polymer, it works as polymer in crafting, the club is unfortunately the best tool to harvest it, but it's obviously much cheaper and easier than regular crafted polymer but it does expire

    Jack became the instigator when you put him on aggressive.. they attack any and everything in close proximity when on aggressive. Richard is on attack your target so he will go after everything Jack goes after. To stop the carnage you have to take Jack off of aggressive or else he will start fights and everyone who isn't on passive or neutral will jump in to assist.

    The oil is in the preserving bins for jerky.... a bin "burns" spark powder as fuel. Having just oil and spark powder in a bin is just burning spark powder. 1 cooked meat +1oil. In a fueld bin = 1 jerky. A bin produces one jerky at a time ... since you ha e two bins it makes sense to split your stacks between bins to double your production rate.

    You’re doing good man! Don’t get overwhelmed, ark can do that to you. Just remember there’s no rush on anything when you’re on your own single player game. If you feel like just hanging around the base and getting everything in order, that’s a good way to wind down in the game. Then when you are ready to make your next move, leave everything you don’t need and only take what you do on the trip. For longer missions take sleeping bags with you in case you die. Leave with a solid plan. Build all the pieces you’d need for a trap and take them with you and don’t forget to just have fun. Sorry about the argy. Joanne won’t be forgotten! I bet this time you’ll get a better version of her though. Awesome video once again and thank you for your efforts!

    Hey Zedex!
    Just want to let you know, there is no need to put signs on your storage.. you can rename them :) I do like the signs though. More obvious..
    lol! yeah don't take the mic to the bathroom 🤣
    kairuku (penguins) have your organic polymer when you snuff them out.. you'll be needing that.
    i know you'd enjoy the industrial forge.. it is expensive like the industrial grill, but it's sooo much faster and worth the grind. i love the industrial forge and chemistry bench. my favourite things to get as soon as i can in ARK
    One medical brew takes 20 tintoberries, 2 narcotics and one water.

    You are correct.
    The closer to the bird's weight cap, the slower it flies.
    The slower it flies, the more stamina it uses, meaning more landings.

    The best way to make fertilizer is to build a little hut. Tame a Boar by knocking it out. Found in the Arctic region. Once tamed place in Hut. feed Stimberrys, ie makes him he poop a lot.
    Tame 2 dung beetles, tamed passively with spoiled meat, also put them in the hut with the Boar, turn on Dung collection, and put them on wander, inside the Hut, (to prevent them from escaping), the only thing you level on them is weight, they will collect the dung from the Boar and convert it into Fertilizer.
    The Bonus with the Boar is he can quickly heal all the tames around him.

    47:00 This is what I was talking about when I mentioned the respawn bug in single player. If you log out after harvesting stone, metal, crystal or obsidian, BEFORE it has respawned, then it won't respawn anymore, no matter how long you wait. That's why it's a good idea to dramatically speed up the respawn rate on single player.

    Congrats on going to the Arctic! You should invite thoes penguin to club Ark, you should use a club and hit them to get a tone of organic poly! It acts like polymer You can use to make better stuff. Also the mean fishing bird drop polymer to. Just don't eat it. If you have questions about being to far from home, then make sleeping bags to and a box, so if you die you have a spawn point near the spot. But on time use so make many sleeping bags!

    Harvesting penguins is your best source of polymer. That bird you saw on the first ice flow is a pelagornis. You can tame it with a bola, tranq arrows, and fish (bring some fish with you at the start). Pelagornis gets bonuses on the amount of organic polymer it harvests.from the penguins.

    @steriv9498 6 днів тому +5

    Be aware that whistling neutral, passive etc affects ALL tames in the whistling distance. That causes you regular problems like all dinos suddenly going on a fight and it will become more problematic with more dinos around.
    To avoid that, you'll have to define groups so that your whistling only affects the group you want.
    Again, when I'm in my base, I pick the group with a caged beetle in it so that if I make a mistake it won't have serious consequences. When exploring, I select no group so I can get quick responses from the dinos I took with me.
    Beetle and slugs are not yet something easy for you to find/tame, you could use a caged dodo.

    • @Wild5oul
      @Wild5oul 5 днів тому

      Learning how to use taming groups is incredibly helpful. It can also be tricky because you have to then always remember that there are groups. You will need to keep in mind which group your whistle is being directed at. It will be vital though for controlling your tames as you get so many.

    @Wild5oul 4 дні тому +1

    Industrial cooker, seen people recommend it, but not point out that it gets connected directly to water. That's why you don't have to mess with skins or bottles when you have one. Also like the grill, it's much much faster, and HUGE. Yeah, all those stone water reservoirs can be deleted when you are tapped directly to a water source. You'll want one up on the mountain in your foundry, I bet tho. 😉 A reservoir and a tap. The reservoirs collect rain water, so they don't always have water in them.

    Oi mate, when taming I find it best to put your tames on passive so they don't attack or get in the way of what you're doing. Also allows the follow command to actually work as they won't disengage battle on any other setting other than passive.
    Loving the series bruv!
    Edit*: when you were about to die like taming the Thyla you should have eaten your cooked meat and drank your water. Cooked meat to recover health and you were basically dehydrated as well.
    ALSO, you need to click the AGGRESSIVE SETTING to bring up the rest of the wheel. Ark can be confusing at first because the settings can get buried in layers of clicks.

    The painting is so fun in this game. You can create dozens of color variations by adding any berry, charcoal, water skins with water for basic colors. Then for more vibrant variations add spark powder or gunpowder with everything else listed. You can paint saddles, armor, all your melee and firearms and more. Also just started the video but you can carry your ankylo with the argentavis over metal and oil rocks and he’ll automatically hit them. The anky might have to be on wandering while you hold him. That way the anky will still have the weight reduction for metal and it won’t change while you fly the argy. Hope that wasn’t too much love watching you starting to really progress!

    Make a "magnifying glass" so you can see how much torpor you are doing, need to be close to see.
    Make a assault rifle and see which you like better between that and the shotgun and how much it takes to make ammo. Then also make a "fabricated sniper rifle" if you like single fire.
    Compost bin needs 3 poops to make 1 fertilizer, if your plots run out of fertilizer then the seed dies. Its good to have a tank because if a random Dino gets angry and smashes one of your water pipes from the river then your crops will die and you have to restart them.
    Keep your "metal spear" on you because it's cheap and easy to kill small dinos with.
    Keep having fun and loved the storage box explanations!!

      @techn0oO sword and shield are really nice combo to have for caves and some bosses. But I like upping my melee stat and having a spear on me for the knock back feature without having the carry weight of the shield everywhere i go. Anytime I'm exploring or taming i have a spear and a shotgun. The sniper rifle has niche uses to it for pve but much rather have my long neck rifle with the best darts I have access to at that moment. Also all of this depends on what blueprints I'm able to make with mindwipe as well.

      @techn0oO ill use sword and shield early game trying to run a cave, if you pull to many things at once then it's nice to have the shield while your defending off 3 raptors, 2 arthos, 3 bets. I'd have to double check but I don't think sword does triple damage, maybe twice yes, but for the situation where he died in this episode either a spear for the knock back while walking backwards or sword and shield he probably could have survived those troodons. Different ways to do things though, depends on your plan of attack and what you set yourself up for. That's the cool thing with ark, like giga taming, you can make a trap, or use a platform saddle on a quetz, or grapple yourself to a cliff wall. Some of those things depend on what you have available to yourself as well though.

    If you are going for an new Argent (or any tame really). Put a stack of Rare Flowers on your hot bar then eat one when near it. This will cause the creature (or any in the area) to follow you aggressively for the duration of the flower. You can consume more over time to keep it in persuit.Handy for luring things into traps.

  • @AUTO6
    @AUTO6 6 днів тому +1

    Hi. You still have problems using wheel menu for changing dino behavior. If you are close to your tame you can see what behavior he has right now. If your dino is on neutral on wheel menu you will only have option "Behavior: Neutral". Pushing it is not changing behavior to neutral (it is neutral right now) but from neutral. You should choose this option, push left mouse button but keep button pushed to see new wheel menu with all behavior options. A few times you change your dinos behavior to agressive and this was a problem. Try it in your base.
    I'm using pteranodons almost always on passive, argies mostly on neutral but when I'm going for drops I have my argy on passive too because I don't want him to fly back to fight when something attacking him while I'm taking the drop. Dinos for collecting resources like doedicurus and ankylo - always on neutral to let them defend themselve. I'm not using agressive option.

    Oh my gosh so many things in this video i wish you knew better lol definitely should have grabbed that ascended sickle BP such an OP tool that was gifted to you, btw when you whistle all the tames in the area will set to what you whistled unless you set them individually to ignore group whistle. I highly recommend you do not set your tames on aggressive seeing as your low level tames have a very good chance of getting themselves killed. Also make the industrial Cooker it is infinitely better than the cooking pot, wont need to fumble about with water jars, just use the pot to make custom recipes once you level up in crafting, also your fortitude will keep your temperature more stable and Torpidity from skyrocketing when the troodons attack, lots more i could say but much is learning curve. Keep it going Sorry about your Argy but tbh it wasnt that great and the name was a reminder of my Evil Stepmother so you can do better now! Good luck to fix the lights make soap or make white or silver coloring and repaint them make more colors tbh better in the industrial cooker for making dye place all the kind of berries in it then place one stack of Charcoal, then Sparkpowder then gunpowder individually so you can see the different color variations they make in the cooker remove the other stacks before you place the new ones in just so you know what makes what. You can also look all the recipes up in dododex i recommend the App version its like the ARK bible really Good luck Zed!

    and yeah, the bleeding on the thylacoleo is pretty broken and he attacks in a wide arc. it fits into every cave and can climb walls and jump really good. but that does not mean you can conquer every cave easy now or that he is unstoppable: i thought you lost him the moment i seen the ticklebird but it was luckily low lvl. and i lost plenty due to fall damage (i mentioned it can jump really good) so be careful.
    the issue with the whistling is probably due to whistle groups.
    you have a button to call all groups or Numpad to call different ones. you probably pressed a numpad key.
    you can also tell a dino to ignore your whistles if thats not it, check the settings.
    you will see that the caves are a milestone. a milestone for 1 small dino or a group of them and you. because big dino's won't fit into the cave. its hard work but if you are prepared enough its all doable.
    but the bossfights in the tower: you need to coordinate 2 or more groups of dinos. the first fight is "pretty easy" if you do it with high level dino's. T-Rex or Tek-Rex are usually the way to go with 1 healing and 1 damage buffing dino. but an army of ticklebirds works wonders too.
    the 2nd and 3rd fight are gonna be the real deal, if you can't coordinate 2 or more groups of dino's seperately your dino's will either fall to their death or burn in lava or both.
    but you are doing steady progress here, gj.

    Let me plz HELP you in 4 things. Greenhouse 1st. Fertiliser - tame plz a phiomia Pig(tapir). After tamed force feed stimberry- endless poop you will get instantly. 2nd - it is funny but it will be a problem soon. You made your birds manually aggressive - the dino inventory wheel has multiple layers on each other- under behavior and for example attack target there u get the wheel of all the behavior. Clicking it makes go 1 lvl deeper and there choose which you want so click again(under neutral is aggressive so the already neutral you turn aggressive with double click- just on option. There is no off- don't click aggressive if you don't want them be aggressive(but you usually do and don't know why are they mental:)*** 3rd argentavis weight reduction adds together with anky if hold in arms. Nearly all points on both into weight gives you a good combo, more weight more metal to fly with(50% on argy at the 85%on anky scaled up on top of it). 4th Dead Penguins give organic polymer-most with club or chainsaw - Frog is the best for cementing paste- every bug killed gives a lot cement into its inventory. Beaver dam use o as usual to throw out items don't have to transfer all on you. Extra tipp - at inventory menu at engrams top right side corner of window you can see a lot icons- they can be activated by clicking on them- these are the engrams of the other maps. That way you can learn more engrams. (if settings let them without traveling 1x onto those maps) worth a shot. And thyla puma has bleed damage it is a constant number dependig on enemy health pool, so a lvl 5 thylo does nearly the same damage as a lvl 500. All points on Health plz. Makes not much sense putting points on melee. GG nice upgrades on everything!
