    Several thousand hours here, Glock. Late to the party, but hopefully, I can help.
    1. Tranq Arrows are based on an on-hit tranq and then a duration tranq. Count 5 seconds in between each shot to maximize your efforts.
    2. Certain animals (like the Trike) have resistances to certain attacks at certain places. In this example, the Trike takes less torpor and damage from the head (so aim for its sides!)
    3. Upgrade the difficulty, then do a killallwilds to reset the spawns. The max level for dinospawns on the Island is 120, but you're not going to find many of those even with the slider.
    4. The Trike didn't destroy the wood, it destroyed the thatch. Animals hit in a small AoE, hitting the floor of the structure, too. The trap was a good idea and would have worked flawlessly if the floor was wood (or even better if it was stone)!
    5. Movement speed 175 allows you to outrun the fastest animals on the Island. It's a good idea for when you need to run away and live (but watch out for cliffs).
    6. Trikes (Parasaurs, and other small herbivores) are good at getting berries and can collect wood and thatch. Male "Moose" found up north gather the best thatch, while Beavers are the best for wood (and reduce the weight of the items in their inventory!), while Ankylosaurus is best for metal and flint.
    7. You're levelling up faster because of the Explorer Note, it grants a hard EXP bonus for a duration, so make the most out of the EXP boost!
    Please LIKE so Glock can see the tips, if he reads this far back.

    The difficulty is how high the max level of dinos are, at high difficulties with level 150s you can still get level 10s or so.
    What you should do Is increase the difficulty, and then do a wild dino wipe so that all the dinos on the map will respawn based on the new difficulty level so they're not all 1-30s
    A dino wipe by itself without increasing the difficulty level won't do much

    Loving this series, totally my favorite game ever!
    Here are a few tips that I have learned from my almost thousand hours of single player,
    If you would like to just figure out things on your own I get that too.
    - Try and always use stone for traps, only a handful of dinos on the Island can break it.
    - Being that you are in a somewhat dangerous area, I would recommend building a spike wall around your base area, make a dino door as well but having a safe perimeter really helps.
    - If you walk over explorer notes while on a dino, the dino gets the buff too!
    - Alpha DInos(like the raptor you killed) will also give an experience buff to you and your dino.
    - In order to get higher level dinos set the difficulty to 1 and check the "Maximum difficulty" setting box(this will get you dinos up to 150) then do a wild dino wipe.
    - Craft a spyglass, (crystal can be hard to find at first, as it is usually at higher elevations) but the spyglass allows you to see a dino levels from afar, very useful.
    - I would turn on the setting to see damage text. This will allow you to see how hard dinos are hitting, and you can decide whether you should run or not.
    - Unlock Bolas, they are a life saver against smaller predators like raptors and terrorbirds.
    - Put stim berries in your 0 slot, if you get hit by something that applies torpor, you can quickly eat several and stop yourself from becoming unconscious.
    - In the red woods there are cat-like dinos that hang out on the side of trees and will grab you off of your mount while you are riding it, super scary.
    - When you get to point of taming something big that takes a little time, you can "track" it via a side menu in your inventory.
    - Rafts can act as a mobile base and/or taming pen!
    I love your channel, you are doing great at Ark, I look forward to seeing more!
    Have Fun!

      'Single Player' server setting needs to be disabled as well or it will override the difficulty setting (which determines dino levels). It also sets experience gain at 2x as well as a bunch of other things. So it would be uncheck that box under server settings, change difficulty (5 allows 'max' level), load in, input destroywilddinos, and get eaten by new high level dinos.

    Suggested setting:
    - change difficulty to 1 and do a wild dino wipe for up to lvl 120 dino spawn, you can alway decrease it when fighting the bosses
    - lower food and water drain by half. Ut just get obnoxious later in the game, It is easy to sustain yourself
    - lower night time or completely disable it for easier recording, you only need night time on the aberration dlc
    - put taming speed to 5 or lower. It will let you speed through the early game. Any higher will make the kibble mechanic irrelevant (special taming food for harder dino)
    - harvest amount to 3 (increase in mid to late game if needed)
    - xp multiplier stay at 1 (the xp and harvest amount multiplier has already been buff to double in an update)
    - allow flyer speed leveling (turn flying dino into jet, faster traveling)
    In advance tab
    - harvest health to 2 (resources yield twice the amount, 1 tress = 2 tress worth of wood)
    - supply crate and fishing loot quality to 2
    - allow cave building pve
    - allow flyer carry pve
    - (optional) show floating damage text, can break immersion so you decide
    Final word
    The game has a lot of features lock behind hours of grinding. I would prioritise acquiring and playing around with these feature above playing fair and grinding. I don't want you to record for 4 hours just to build a stone base so feel free increase the gather rate or any of the setting as you play depending on how grindy the game feel at the stage you are in. The taming speed shouldn't be too high if you want to explore the kibble mechanic which I would suggest you do. You'll need to breed dino to get their eggs, make farms to get specific ingredients, and cooking the kibble. I find it fun but it can be tedious, so if it gets too time consuming to record, then just increase the tame speed and tame everything with mejoberry and prime meat.

    Hey Glock! Here's a little tip for ya! If you are ever planing on taming more Triceratops, you shouldn't shoot it's head with tranq arrows, shoot it's legs or chest. You shouldn't shoot it's head with and tranq arrows because they take reduced tranq effectiveness and won't get knocked out as fast. :D

    Command is admincheat_killwilddinos. Increasing difficulty before this and then running this command forces more Max level ones. Also set the advanced setting to “force max level.” Another thing that helps is typing gamma 3 to make scenes brighter. Also do r.bloomquality 0 so you don’t get blinded from reflections.

    To get higher level dino's to spawn, you need to do BOTH difficulty increase and wild dino wipe... Increase difficulty, then wipe wild dinos, then the higher ones will spawn. If you JUST increase difficulty, the low levels will still exist in the world, once you wipe them and turn up difficulty, the higher dinos will spawn in.

    The big white fluffy guy (not even going to attempt to spell its name haha) is a badass tame to get, basically the vegan version of the Rex. It also has a special ability to inflict extra damage to insects, more damage equals more resources gathered from carcasses.
    Also, big no no with the wood mate! Stone is your best bet for building pretty much everything, especially in SP. Most dinos can break wood and definitely thatch, and when they're in a trap like to made there, once they lose the agro towards you they'll attack the structure. When you go for a Rex, you can definitely use the same kind of trap but make the walls/door ways *three* high so it doesn't walk out of it and make it all out of stone! If I recall correctly, only dino that would be a major threat with a stone trap would be a Giga since it can damage stone and of course the Anki since it's basically a walking pickaxe and the Dilo which is a walking Hatchet (top priority dinos for base builders).

    When you pick up an explorer's note, it gives you a buff in the bottom right for 600 seconds at 4x experience gain. so making narcotic while having that buff gives you xp at an insane rate. if planned right you can maximize on it and save up all the stuff to make narcotic till you get one then set it all to make while that buff is running, and you can go off and kill dinos and harvest to get some pretty insane levels in a very short amount of time. and that are lot of notes close to the beach if you learn where they are you can get 5 i think before you ever leave the beach area.

  • @lordchaos7770
    @lordchaos7770 3 года назад

    Vids oldish but since he talks about it here, for anyone interested in starting... at lowest difficulty, dino levels are 1-30. Difficulty multiplies those levels, and at max difficulty it multiplies by 5 leaving you with a level range of 5-150, with dino levels always being a multiple of 5. If you play singleplayer or on a non dedicated server there is "single player" option which vastly speeds up many of the grindier aspects like xp gain, engram points, and taming as well as increasing your tamed dinos power scaling, and these rates are further multiplied by similar server settings, so increasing server xp and having single player on will let you level very fast. While difficulty is mostly to taste, it mostly makes surviving on foot harder, i dont believe the end game bosses scale on the difficulty setting therefore if you want to do endgame you probably want the difficulty maxed.
    Ed. Some maps have lower max difficulty than 5 but theres a force max difficulty option that makes them 5

    Glad to see ya playing ARK! You're doing really well considering how the game can screw you over pretty hilariously.
    A few things you might find useful: If you hold down H (default) it will give you extended hud information. Backspace (default) will hide your hud completely. K (default) is your orbit cam, which allows you to see yourself and scroll out really far using the mouse wheel. You can adjust the gamma via console command, just type gamma and whatever number you want to adjust to. I like to keep my game at gamma 3, which is one full point brighter then default. To reset the gamma just type gamma into the console. If you want to freeze time type playersonly into the console, this will completely freeze everything including the sun; this command is useful for taking screenshots. Finally, the most important hot key is + on the numpad, also known as the defecate key; it makes you and any dino you're riding defecate if they're ready to pass some stool.
    Happy gaming!

    You got an XP buff from the explorer note, that’s why you got so many levels. To get a bunch of levels early, make a bunch of narcotics with that XP buff going. Once you can make a toilet you get a short XP buff from pooping in it too, and that stacks with your buff from the explorer note. It will also give you fertilizer, which is great since dung beetles are harder to get on the island.
    Also, any Dino that has armored heads like a trike will take reduced torpor in the head. So hit a trike in the side or the butt.
    For more metal, hit the river rocks. They drop more metal than the regular beach rocks and they’ll get you by until you can access better metal nodes.
    Also, to jump down from a high place with your dino and avoid fall damage, dismount right before you hit the ground. Your dino doesn’t take fall damage Un-mounted and because you were mounted until a few feet from the ground, you don’t take fall damage either.
    To keep pegomastax or ichthyornis from taking important stuff, keep trash in the last slot of your inventory- like a couple rocks or a berry seed. They’ll steal the last thing in your inventory. That way they won’t take a whole stack of kibble or your industrial forge...not that I’m speaking from experience or anything.

    Oohh, an Ark series from you should be glorious...
    FYI, you can take any dino off any cliff and survive IF you get off your tame right before it lands on the ground. Obviously, if it's water there no worry unless it's shallow. Bumping difficulty level to 1 should provide you with plenty of challenges. I dunno on PC but on PS4 the max difficulty level will only go to 1 which allows for plenty of max level 150 dinos. Tinker with taming speed if you feel is still slow. Nothing worse than taming a high-level dino and it takes hours.
    Oh, one more thing.. Get your movement speed up to at least 136. You wanna be able to outrun any dino on the map in case it's needed.

(Like other folks said, you'll need to do a "destroywilddinos" from the console after you've changed the difficulty.)
    *On singleplayer, you have to add to your GameUserSettings in shootergame/config:

Tamed Omnivores and/or Carnivores will harvest bodies and loot up until half of your tamed dinos weight threshold...otherwise a bag will appear containing the rest of the loot. Blueprints are free engrams and often better stats than their engram counterparts. Crafting skill improves blue print stats.
