Any hope for Primitive Plus (or something similar) in ASA?
I may be in the minority here, but I remember really enjoying primitive plus back when Ark (survival evolved / the original game not this new graphical remake) was new / still in beta.

Essentially, it stripped away all of the technology stuff so you actually had to use dinos.

I really am not a fan of all the technology crap they have added to Ark. Cryopods are so ridiculous... it was way more fun when you actually had to think about how to logistically get larger dinos from point A to point B, and the quetzals actually had a legitimate purpose in that regard. A lot of the weaponry just makes dinosaurs an afterthought in PVP, and there is so much toxic play that goes on with people abusing explosives to decimate bases and boats.

If you are going to attack a base, in Primitive Plus you would need to bring an army of dinos to get the job done... this was way more fun than the current idiocy of one lone Robocop dude strapped into tek gear being able to devastate an entire base in seconds (or drop out a bunch of pokemon balls filled with gigas from above.)

So... long story shot, what are the odds of us getting Primitive Plus or something like it, as part of ASA?

I second that mod, the trailer looks awesome.

For building there is also "Klinger Additional Rustic Building"

And there is also a mod that adds rustic looking replacements to tech stuff. Will have to get the name later when I'm on my pc.

Just remembered.

Also check out more of the Klingers stuff too.




I'm the same way, I don't like the looks of tech stuff.

Sadly, Cedric joining WC was basically what had destroyed prim+ which was a freaking awesome version of the game. As he was tasked with community and sponsored mod management I really doubt that we will ever see the return of this, it was already so out of sync with the ASE version so I would assume that porting it to ASA would be very labor intensive and well, WC avoids the labor related stuff like a plague.

They should just open source the code and let other mod developers take over, that would be the only hope but then knowing WC that would never happen. They would rather spin it off into some standalone game and make $$ out of it.

We're doing a semi prim no fly server with a bunch of friends. Same thing as you -- we got bored with the usual and customary. discord.gg/XR3yX4Ahxv

That’s so cool, but I’m sad because it’s not on PS5 D’;
