Ark: Survival Evolved - Dinos and Leveling Survival Game

So i see ragnarok server, but no aberration one?

Make sure your game is up-to-date, then launch and note your client version again just in case. Then search for it in the game browser (not the Steam browser) with “PVE” and “Unofficial” selected. It should show up at that point. Not sure why servers sometimes disappear like that.

client is 275.4, all up to date and validated local files.
Still not there in the browser. :(

That may have been the problem. 275.4 hit today, I think, after a bunch of us were already in game. Structures + was also updated. I just updated the server and hopefully it’ll show up shortly!

Nope, still just show the ragnarok server.

Super weird! Shows up for me after the updates. Hmm. Maybe restart Steam and ARK?

Look for it in game, couldn’t find it in steam either.

When you say in-game you mean inside the ark client? I never found the steam browser.

I think that’s what he meant. Launch the game client, hit the Join button and use the filters. Make sure they’re set to PVE and Unofficial.

For whatever reason the Ab server doesnt show up in the server browser for me either. I had to log into ark then search for it in there browser.

Holy cow what a day yesterday. I did some research on the nameless. They can be killed but have to have a light source to burn them with IE dog lantern etc. Need to look but i believe theres a way to turn the dog on wile still mounted on your shoulder. I think we just got unlucky with there being a ton nearby. The alph ( glowing one) Also once you kill the alpha one of the others left alive will instantly become the alpha.

Okay I got it listed. Port forwarding goobage.

Then had connection timeouts, but then I forwarded more and now I’m in!

You should be able to turn them on and off while shoulder-mounted with the emote wheel (default “[” and “]” keys). There should be an entry on the wheel that says “Light” or similar.

Correct thanks Cale that made all the difference. Kono I found one of your lost ravagers stuck it in your lake base. Also there’s a 50ish drake roaming around that area damn near killed me. Be very careful those damn things are almost as bad as the nameless.

Got DC’d and can’t reconnect, think i have a some sort of a ghost presence.

Can someone forcefully boot my connection? Thanks.

Me too. Not sure yet what’s going on. Can’t reconnect, myself, either. Grem and Ragan were on – were you guys also disconnected? Probably going to need to stop and start the server.

Edit: Thanks, Ragan, I’ll await your restart.

Ok, server had a hiccup. I’ll do a restart

It’s the Reusable Grapple/bola/parachute mod that is causing it. Removing it and restarting

Ok I found out that you can venture out onto the surface after dark without a rad suit. I am going to try and get up there in the next few days for obsidian and oil.

I’ve also found out that those funny looking plants (the ones that look like they are sticking their tongue out, Plant Z) actually fill your food, water and health. Healed my ravager several hundred health in a about 30 seconds and topped off my food & water to boot.

From what I’ve read, it is only the wild ones that do that though.

Tonight though, as Coyote Peterson (Brave Wilderness youtube channel) would say “Be brave, be wild!”, I’m going to explore the swamp for a new base location. I expect much death and dismemberment.

Edit: It appears my posting in this thread is done since I am “new user” and limited to three replies in a thread. Anyone know how long this newbie status exists?
