Next content update and progress - - -

The next update will most likely include the Floating islands of the Seagrass Islands or the Mangrove Swamps and revamping the glacial bastion with its own custom boss. Sorry this has been slow going. I've been attending university.

What is ARK: The Sunken World? - - -

The Sunken World is a WIP DLC-sized mod focused on an oceanic themed map with new
items, structures, and creatures. The aim of this mod is to overhaul ARK’s oceans and follow
a particular trope started by Scorched Earth, single biome-based maps. TSW plans to bring forth that same nostalgia and uniqueness. Due to lack of land and scarce resources you will need to rely on unfamiliar creatures and tools and find yourself being forced to delve ever deeper into the abyss.
Do not deny the depth's echoing call, survivor.

This map will not function properly without the TSW Additions mod! - - -

Make sure to include it. TSW Additions adds the custom resources and creatures hence its need, otherwise the map will be very empty and many resource nodes will give you nothing. The mods are separated to save space, decrease update times and allow you to transfer the custom creatures to other maps.

---

Important things to know - - -

How much of the map is finished?
Currently, the map is between 40-50% complete.

Will the map become official or come to consoles?
Likely not. As this is a mod project, this won’t be available for consoles unless Wildcard
sponsors the mod and makes it official content. However, we have concerns for content
being capped or removed in this situation, so it would likely require negotiation. In the end,
we have put in a lot of work on this mod, and we do not want our work to be wasted in a
potential official release.

How many creatures are planned or at the moment available?
6 custom creatures are currently implemented, with approximately 40 in total planned. This
is not including sunken variants of vanilla creatures, of which 8 are currently implemented.

When is the full release date of the mod?
As this is a large project, the full release date is still unknown, but it will definitely take a while until everything is finished. Please be patient folks, and feel free to give us feedback as we develop the mod further. There will be a lot of new items to make your life easier in your new ocean ark! New environmental-hazards and weather events are also planned, check the discord out for more info about it.
