What a night!

Got a new rex, then went off to the real world for a while.

Came back and decided to become an oil baron, worked out great, got tons of oil and pearls.

Then I pressed too far while grabbing ONE LAST ONE, six megalodons come out of the shadows and my shark abandons me. I know we are both dead...

I get killed.. spawn up at my base right above where I was (and cause I am an idiot) I jump on my dolphin to survey the damage.

My megalodon killed ALL of the other sharks! I gathered my stuff, mounted the (now half health) mega, and started out, ran into two more megas and the dolphin split..

I get back to anchorage and heal up the mega, go back down and theres the dumb dolphin, grinning like a jackass with 3 other dolphins... Wow, what a swim!

Patching server to 202.0; should be back up shortly.

Current Version: v202.0
* New Creature: Doedicurus! You're gonna love his totally awesome special abilities, that go further than the Dossier -- let's just say, The Blue Blur might be making an appearance on ARK :)
* New Item: Primitive Organic Automated Turret
* New Item: Automatic Spray-Paint 'Gun'
* Servers can now edit a multiplier for player and dino level-upgrade amounts per-stat (and also different numbers in the case of wild dinos).
* Prevent-Friendly-Fire option for PvE servers
* Do a Barrell Roll!
* Shooting arrows/projectiles at unconscious tiny dinos now actually hits them properly
* Fixed aiming of character weapon shooting when carried by a Flyer (previously was very difficult to hit stuff due to a bug)
* Added server option to disable "Friendly Fire" (among tribesmates/tribesdinos/tribesstructures) on PvE
* Whistles and other attached sounds now play properly when riding dinos
* Emotes now work properly when riding dinos
* Fixed another exploit involving players getting under the terrain, and if you do get under the terrain somehow you will be teleported back above it.
* You can now attach electric generators to electric cables after placing cables, they will snap accordingly
* Fixed an exploit where filled water containers could be used forever in recipes that require a filled water container
* Fixed an exploit where you could fill water canteens/jars up fully at a watertank even if you did not have enough water to do so (essentially allowing you to infinitely generate water).
* Fixed issues where you could erroneously create floating structures using fence foundations + pillars
* The destruction time of eggs on the ground is now the same for all eggs, 30 min
* Radio Engram exists again

Looks like you had the right idea. And, around 4 out of 10 will not stop raging. Replacing the walls after trapping apparently settles them down.

As things stand right now I won't have internet access from Friday morning to Thursday afternoon (the 28th to the 3rd). My dinos should be safe enough, if someone could swing by and throw some food in the trough for them I would appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Trying to update server...interwebz are not cooperating. Update delayed for the time being guys. Will update thread when server is available.

We are currently experiencing network packet loss from multiple services to our host server in New York for our control panel. This is causing slight downtime for processes on these affected machines. We are going through each affected machine and working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you still continue to experience problems with connectivity within the next hour please update us so that we can continue to pinpoint areas of concern and provide solutions. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

For steam folks: Ark: Survival Evolved is free for this weekend (Thursday 10AM PST) through til Sunday 1PM PST so folks that haven't been sure they could, can try it now.

Blue Fang is still having issues with their control panel access. Hopefully it'll clear, fairly soon, so we can get up and running again.

Patches to be applied today:

Current Version: v203.2
* 203.2: Fixed client-side memory leak! (also helps perf!)
* 203.1: Gates & Gate Foundations no longer get destroyed when attached to fence foundations (fence foundations are considered valid support for them now).
* Falling vaults don't float on wires anymore and they can fall multiple times now
* Sotf notifications now show up to 4 tribesmates on the tribe eliminated notification, if a sotf server is set to allow 4-player tribes.
* Defaulted max tamed dinos to 5000 up from 3700
* Blueprint cost overrides now are used correctly for reals.
* Spraygun now uses paint up properly
* Ptero now drops its carried character if it barrel rolls
* Now craft-all is limited to 100 iterations to avoid craft-all spam stalls. convenient enough for now ;)
* A dino that was ridden will now take fall damage once if it was unboarded in mid-air.
* Door interaction shouldn't get stuck anymore on client
* Player-level-up multipliers are now used properly when respawning
* Ptero don't allow barrelrolling when encumbered
* Torpored doedicurus will now exit ball-state properly
* Glasses now correctly placed on doedicurus
* All mammoth attacks now will harvest properly
* Fixed a rare server crash involving pickupable structures (sleeping bags, turrets, etc)
* Support for Giant Moon Meteor Extinction Event!

v202.2
* Putting Canteens/Waterskins into taps connected directly to intakes now properly refills them, doesn't break them anymore. Sorry about that!
* Total Conversions are now listed at the bottom of the sessions list when not in a TC
* Failure to join a TC (such as SotF) no longer results in two overlapping popups
* Fixed a crash that some singleplayers were getting after a load
* Fixed another game-load crash case (associated with some Doedicurus functionality)

Some folks adjusted the times. 2x, 3x, 4x...that sort of thing. We didn't bother though, been tempted to trim taming times a time, or three...

Haven't given in to the temptation. LOL

Once you get rolling, doesn't take all that long to get mats at the standard level of things. And, taming is alright; nothing says you have to sit there (Well...unless it's a samsquatch...a L1 took me 2 hours...one berry at a f'n time).

It's back up. Noone was on so re-dl'd the last patch to see if that made any difference with the rain bug, or not

If one of you happens to find yourself down by my place this weekend, can you stop in and check on the critters? I'm on at work till Monday morning. I'll try to log when I get home in the mornings, just depends how tired I am.

Heh...L10 Alpha Rex wandering between my BR base and the red ob. Still taming an argent so, haven't tangled with it, as yet

Will have to on the way back to base; at least I have all 4 of my rexes with me.

(ETA) It's down, eagle brought his three over for brunch.

(ETA2) Remember how I mentioned that I thought there were 2? There was a black/red as well, ran into him while looking for prime, while dealing with him; carno ate the dang argent.

Our rexes had no real problems with them. Granted, we've all had ours for awhile...so they're leveled up a bit.

So far, that's 4 we've run into. One that was hit with 8 rexes, another hit by the same 8, one that was hit with 7, and the last that was hit with 4. Took a bit of chewing with 4, though.
