I will continue to update this topic as more questions come to light.



Q) Is this mod the successor of Annunaki Genesis?
A) No, Extinction Core is a standalone project. It is in no way connected to Annunaki Genesis.

Q) How come my corpse inventory is empty?
A) This is a general bug. Your corpse has two inventories, whereby the second inventory contains your gear & items.

Q) Why can't I see any of the Extinction Engrams?
A) This is because the mod is not loaded as first priority.

Q) What is the max level of the creatures (default)?
A) This is based on the used map's default setting. However, you can change this via your GameUserSettings.ini via adding OverrideOfficialDifficulty=XX, whereby XX is the value you want to use (e.g. OverrideOfficialDifficulty=20 will give max level (30*20)=600 wild).

Q) Is this mod compatible with other mods?
A) If they work in conjunction, then yes, otherwise no, as nothing is changed which would otherwise block ‘clean’ stacking mods.
NOTE: This doesn't count for primary engrams.

Q) What maps can I use this mod on?
A) Basically any map that uses all the spawn entries of the ADK. If they use custom entries, you'll need to manually overwrite them.

Q) What can I do about a map’s low spawn rates?
A) In your GameUserSettings.ini, change the following to an amount that your prefer:

Q) Why can’t I find certain creatures that I’m used to with vanilla Ark?
A) Spawn Tables are redone from scratch. This is to counter overpopulation because next to the new creatures, the creatures from the Scorched Earth are included as well.

Q) Where I can find the console commands?
A) At the workshop description, click on Console Commands.

Q) Is there an alternative for uploading updates?
A) No, if you’re using a remote server, I would recommend using FTP.

Q) What do I lose when I uninstall the mod?
A) Everything connected and part of this mod.



Q) How come I can't unclaim certain creatures (e.g. Alpha's)?
A) This is intentional and will not change.

Q) What does Saddle Taming mean?
A) This is used when a creature requires a saddle to be equipped, when untamed and knocked out. It will then instantly tame the designated creature.

Q) What does Savage Taming mean?
A) By putting a tamed creature of yourself on aggressive, it will attack the designated creature that requires Savage Taming, whereby it will be killed and gain affinity, eventually resulting in the creature getting tamed.
▬ NOTE: Make sure the creature used to combat the wild designated creature is weaker, otherwise the target will end up getting killed, instead of tamed.

Q) How do I defeat a Deity?
A) Use the progressive Boss Tier creatures. Lower Tiers will be annihilated to maintain progression.

Q) How do I replace the nude female NPC’s?
A) Under discussions, view the 'NPC Nude Replacers' topic.

Q) The NPC's swarm the map, how can I reduce (but not remove) them?
A) Modify this line, whereby X is the amount you prefer.
▬ NOTE: By putting both values on 0.0, you remove them.

Q) Certain creatures don’t eat once tamed. What can I do about that?
A) Craft and feed them their respective Baby Food.

Q) How can I tame a specific new creature?
A) At the workshop description, click on Creature Guide.

Q) How can I tame the Alpha Carnivores & Herbivores?
A) You’ll need the same kibble as their respective counterparts use. NPC’s provide kibble when killed in their inventory.

Q) How can I tame the Boss creatures (e.g. DodoRex)?
A) You’ll need to knock them out with Metal Tranq Arrows and equip their respective saddle when knocked out.

Q) Why doesn't my tamed Boss Tier creature eat?
A) It will only consume it's respective Baby Food once tamed.

Q) Why are some Alpha's pink colored?
A) This is a gender indicator. I've added this diversity for the female players in the Ark Community, and to make it easier for players to differentiate between genders in the wild.

Q) Does the Titanosaur disappear and can it mate?
A) The Titanosaur is overhauled for PvE. This means it can breed, it won't disappear and it can appear more then 3 times on the map.

Q) Can Wyverns mate?
A) Yes, but only the non-Alpha variants.

Q) How do I obtain Wyvern Milk?
A) By killing and looting Wyverns, instead of knocking them out.

Q) Why can’t Bronto’s harvest anymore berries?
A) To counteract the excessive amounts of lag. You can optionally replace them for vanilla Bronto’s via your Game.ini by adding:
Q) Why don't turrets target certain creatures (e.g. Apex')?
A) This is a personal developer preference.
