The dev that created the floating rock islands has said 200 times (100 of which I've repeated to you) that they ARE NOT ADDING ANYTHING ELSE TO THE FUCKING FLOATING ISLANDS. THE MOD WAS JUST A PROOF OF CONCEPT. At some point this will sink in with Creamy, maybe 6-12 months from now if I'm lucky.

There's some pretty neat ideas out there for arenas.

Just a few of the dozens of ideas I found with a quick search. Hype intensifying........

Oh, I like that idea a lot. Perhaps we should each build a PvP arena on our floating rocks and either pick one everyone likes the most or rotate between the two.

The devs said in a very old Ark digest they were going to be adding a salt slab type item that could be put in the troughs to greatly increase the spoil timers on food. Fast forward 5 months and we still don't have it.
This mod seems pretty balanced as it requires you to know the both the fridge and trough engrams before you can learn the new, modded one. It also requires electricity.
What say ye?

You guys might want to hold off on building on the rock islands. Looks like modders are in the process and have already vastly improved on the devs sample mod.

Current Version: v231.9
* Fixed issue with slow-loading/stalling Total Conversions

v231.8
* Fixed issue where you could fall thru Quetz/Dinos when unboarding them (requires server update)
* Fixed rare case where water Dino would appear on a client to fly off into the air when unboarding it
* Fixed a few Dev Kit related things for these examples:
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=598346681
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=598307664

v231.7
* Fixed issue where you could accidentally get unboarded from Procop Pouch on terrain slopes
* Fixed issue where you could unboard through house-boat/dino-platform walls
* Made Cages give no damage to punching prisoners
* Made "Accept Tribe Invitation" require holding the Action Wheel option, rather than Activation Quick-Press (was too easy to trick enemies into accidentally joining your Tribe).
* +25% Bronto base HP and +20% on its platform-saddle Armor Rating
* Base HP of Ptero and Arg +20% each
* Ptero attack damage +25% and its barrel roll damage by 40%
* Carno Head Butt Damage +25%
* Harvesting a Giganotosaurus now gives mostly prime meat (and killing it gives much more XP)
* New server option to prevent spawning of Loot crates (artifact creates will still spawn):
WindowsServer\Game.ini
(or LinuxServer)
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
bDisableLootCrates=true

v231.6
* Fixed issues with boarding Procoptodon Pouch through walls, or being pushed through walls while on it (or any passenger seat).

v231.5
* Fixed a bug that was preventing increases in the Tamed Dino Damage multiplier from actually taking effect after server restarts (unless you applied a level-up). This effectively gives existing tamed Dinos a significant (+25%) damage amount increase per level.

v231.4
* More Tamed Dino balancing adjustments:
+35% Dino Harvesting Rate
2.5x Turret Damage vs Dinos (originally was 3x prior to dino rebalance)
1.5x Non-Bullet Projectile Damage vs Flyers
-30% HP Increase to Tamed Flyers/Quetz
-20k Tamed base HP on Giganotosaurus
+25% Direwolf Tamed HP

* Turret Damage vs Dinos (Bullet and Projectile Turrets) can be customized on your server with:
WindowsServer\Game.ini
(or LinuxServer)
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
DinoTurretDamageMultiplier=1.0

v231.3
* Further Dino Balance Adjustments:
+67% Tamed Melee Damage Per Level Increase
+33% Tamed Melee Damage Per Level Increase
+20% Affinity Boost Increase Health/Damage Tamed Dinos
+33% HP increase to Tamed Flyers/Quetz
+Remove Flyer Projectile Damage Multiplier
-60% Turrets Damage vs Dinos

v231.2
* Increased Tamed Dino additional per-level Healths and Damages by 25% respectively.
* Fixed the Tamed Dino INI Health/Damage scaling overrides to actually work ;)

v231.1
- Fixed various potential server loading crashes
- Wild Giganotosaurus now has 50% less HP and 20% less damage (should not affect Tamed Giganotosaurus)
- 50% less explosive damage to dinos, 20% less player melee damage
- Dinos harvest at 3x their previous damage-rate (i.e. similar to pre-tamed-dino-rebalance). This can be customized on your server with:
WindowsServer\Game.ini
(or LinuxServer)
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
DinoHarvestingDamageMultiplier=3.0
PlayerHarvestingDamageMultiplier=1.0

v231.0
- Improved Server Performance
- Ended Winter Wonderland Event! (earned santa hats, top hats, candy canes, and reindeer costumes stay of course)
- You can no longer build behemoth gates/gate-frames on dino platforms, and any such behemoth gates already built on platforms are destroyed
- Fixed PvP Friendly Fire causing fall/self damage not to occur

- Tamed Dino Balance Adjustment
* INI Options for server admins to scale tamed dino stats:
Values we currently have defaulted, in content which server admins can override in their INI's (setting all the values to 0 will have it behave 'like it used to be'!):
WindowsServer\Game.ini
(or LinuxServer)
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
;0: Health
;8: Damage
;Multiplier immediately added for tamed dino
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[0] = 0.15f;
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[8] = 0.15f;

;Multiplier applied if perfect affinity
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[0] = 0.375f;
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[8] = 0.375f;

;Multiplier applied for each TAMED level-up point
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0] = 0.15f;
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[8] = 0.15f;

The devs did kind of a crappy job with this timer taking 12 hours. We couldn't even start the 12 timer until the game got patched at noon CST today.

Yeah, you have to go on a dino slaughter mission to open up room or I can run the kill all wild dinos command when I get online.

We had to start the timer so it will fire off at 11 PM PST. The problem is either Creamy or I have to go in game and execute a command to start the 12 hours countdown and I'm at work so I can't. I wanted to make sure the timer got started because there's a rumor that it won't work tomorrow so we only had one shot. Other people are saying we can run the event again after the first timer but there's zero dev information.
