I thought that might be the case, but when I look at them it says "0/20 Mutations", so I thought that ruled it out.

Twice recently I had babies born with higher stats than either parent. Specifically, I had a tiger born with weight stat of 10 when the highest weight stat of either parent was 8. Then right after that I had another tiger born with attack of 11 when his parents both had 9. Anyone know if this is expected behavior? Is there just a random chance of that happening? 

Also, it occurs to me as I'm writing this that no one on official will have any idea, because you can't see animal stats. The only reason I know is because I'm playing on unofficial (Blackwood) with the Super Spyglass mod that someone brought over from Ark. 

Now with single player mode added, I'm even more anxious to get Ansel support. In Ark, Ansel only worked in single player mode, as it pauses the game when you activate it. 

Anyone find anything besides ruby? I need 3 different types of gem to craft the submarine. I heard there was some in the Mermaid city, but I can't go there without the submarine, so that's doesn't help.

Atlas is listed on Nvidia's website as a game that supports Ansel. I can see files for it in the Atlas game files, and it's supported in Ark. Anyone know if it really is supported, and if so, how to use it? 

FINALLY finished my galleon. I just play with one friend, so it's quite the accomplishment.  ^_^

Anyone have a preserving bag handy? There's enough salt here to preserve meat.

Must be nice to be part of a giant company that has the manpower to gather the resources by hand to build a galleon, but I play just me and one friend. If we were just gathering by hand, that would take 6 months. No thank you. Quit asking for Wildcard to remove features just because YOU don't like them. If you want to play with a feature removed, play on an unofficial server. I'm sure there's one out there that has taming disabled.

Yup. I and everyone I play with are 100. Gotten used to it now. No plans to go to the FOY. 

I don't mind the patch size, I'm just staying it's weird that it would take 3x longer to install a patch than it would do download. Normally when you finish downloading something on Steam it's ready to go immediately. 

I have never encountered this with any other game on Steam. This latest patch was 4.3 GB, and it took me about 15 minutes to download. However after that it took another 45 to install. I assume that's what it's doing anyways. My network usage is 0 but my disk usage is cranking away at 35mb/s for 45 minutes. What the heck is it doing? Even small patches is the same story. Takes way longer to install than to download. Anyone else experiencing this? And I think this was just a fluke, but with today's patch it did it twice. I downloaded and installed it, hit play, and then then it started the 4.3gb download AGAIN. Hopefully this time it will work.

It is a pirate game, ever heard pirates like Blackbeard owning any tamed Lions or Elephants?  Animals should be island bound,  they should only be helpful with gathering some resources here and there... not full out rideable warmachines, I believe they already made such a game: ARK SURVIVAL.

It should be about Pirates on Boats not beastmasters on lions. That is what people signed up for, not for ARK SURVIVAL RESKIN with Boats to travel between islands... 

 

No. Riding animals is a core pillar of the game's design. That was made very clear in both the trailer and the description before the game was released. If someone "signed up" for a mount-free game, then it's their own dumb fault for not doing their research. If you want a pirate game with no mounts, play Sea of Thieves.

Alright, this is my take on this: Animals should not be placeable, at all, on ships - Unless they are small like a small monkey or a parrot. An Elephant on a Schooner? I expected to play a pirate game, not a reskin of ARK where animals/tames become the focus of the game.

 

That would be fine if you lived on an island that had every animal available. Unfortunately such an island doesn't exist. If there are no Elephants on my island, I have no choice but to travel to another, tame it, and bring it back.

This has happened with one of our elephants. I have them follow me now just to be safe. Super frustrating.

The wolf has been nerfed to the point of being useless as a mount. It's carry weight is a joke (simply having a set of tools, a couple weapons, and armor is enough to encumber it), it is fairly slow, even when not encumbered, and it's health and attack are kinda meh. I guess this is the dark side of asking for endless nerfs on wild animals.

Well cobras can swim... and they have a decent ranged attack.  I actually like hunting them.. good amount of skin off of them.

Maybe they are different where you're from, but our cobras don't give any skin, just chitin

Logged on to this. Nevermind the fact that these guys were on a raised stone holding pen, and there's no way a cobra should have been able to get in there, it's ridiculous that one alpha could take 2 bears, 2 wolves, a bull, an elephant, and a rhino. Took me weeks to get all those tames, and they are just gone overnight and there's nothing I could have done about it.  Crap like this makes me want to put down this game and never touch it again.

First, stop calling it a cargo saddle/cargo harness, and call it a cart. Secondly, make it useful. Being able to put a cannon/swivel gun in it is admittedly very cool, but that should not be it's main function. It's main function should be to haul stuff. A lot of stuff. The wheel was invented for a reason; it exponentially magnifies the amount of weight you can move. The easiest solution would be that whenever you put a cart on an animal, that animal's weight capacity goes way up (doubles or triples). A better way would be that the cart itself has an inventory, but the weight of anything in that inventory is greatly reduced (~80%), and then that weight is added to the animal's carry weight. 

Not that this is helpful... but I thought one day it would be funny to make Noah's ark- get a galleon and fill it with 2 of every animal. That is all.

Amen. I was so confused the first time I got a sloop and couldn't climb the rigging up to the crow's nest.

Thinking the same thing. The small gate is already too big for many situations. But it's barely too small for an elephant. The next (and only) size up is so huge it's a joke. They need about 5 or 6 sizes of gates, but at least a medium would be a good start. And they just changed the scale from small to large, so it's not like it's extra work to scale it again for medium.

I thought the dingy would have it's own inventory, like a tame, that you could fill up with a lot of weight. I was wrong. Then I thought you could put a small storage box in it. Wrong again. Either of those things would be a vast improvement.

Pillars?  If it's like ark, and I believe it is, then you can stack pillars in the water till they break the surface and then you can put a ceiling on it.  Voila! Dock

 

And the pillars don't need to have a foundation at the bottom?

Would like to build a dock out into the water to pull my boats up to for easy access, and cuz it looks cool. But you can only build out so far without foundations, and you can't build foundations underwater. Anyone know any way to get around this?

Harvested from my harden for the first time, used the veggies to tame a bull. Was disappointed with it. Lost a bear to a flock of vultures because it was accidentally set to passive. Fired most of my crew because I couldn't afford them. Looked for a rhino to tame, came up empty Built a cargo saddle (cart), and hooked it up to the horse. Was disappointed. Built a carriage, that was fun to play with, but doesn't really have any practical use besides role play.
