Unlocking hairs

[Trollum]

So, anyone know how to unlock hair styles? :/ Got the scissors but none is unlocked, the only one with an unlock guide as I could find is Romance... which can't be unlocked anymore for obvious reasons apparently.

I would like to know this as well. I find it sad that even hairstyles are now tied to achievements or whatever. So you need to play for eternity just to individualize your character.
Not good.

explorer notes. You get the viking hair at 100% the others bit before.

Unlocking achievements unlocks hairstyles now.
I'm not happy about it
I heard some of those achievements are things like "Reach Max Level", "Tame every Dino" etc.
I've even heard some might unlock by Ascending? Pfft..

We had all the hairstyles available to us before and they are purely cosmetic, why they have locked them behind unrealistic walls is beyond me.

I'd like a server config line like UnlockAllHairs=True so those of us who play on a low population Private Server can get to access these features that we used to have.

Hi - just reading these posts after searching and searching for why I can't cut my hair now (level 70 - been playin before achievements and my achievements don't seem to have caught up with my gameplay) Where can i find info about which achievements unlock hair?!!!

Frustrated :/

Yeah - i play by moving files to a folder on desktop so daughter can have own character - but my achievements for my player character look about the same - even tho 50 levels of difference. What a pain.

It's pretty common for MMOs to lock cosmetics behind ridiculous gates so they can claim you can get everything by playing while they sell it as micro transactions. WC has been working hard to copy MMO mechanics and features into this game. The cosmetics gates are just another case of them not being able to keep their genres sorted.

Do them in singleplayer with commands, it's a pain and can take a while but you only have to do it once. Took me 2-3 hours.

It's stupid and I don't agree with how they did it but that's the easiest way for now.

WC have been very good at allowing Private Server owners to fully customize their experience from editing the cost of engrams, to when you can learn them etc.

This is just another such feature that requires WC to let us edit.

I really hope they do. Greater character customisation was something people were waiting a long time for, its detrimental to introduce them to the game but lock them away behind completionist achivements. Should have them at the get-go, not once you are bored of Ark.

I don't know if there are other mods doing this already, would be surprised if not. But I added an item to unlock all hair styles into this mod.

I tested it only on single player, and I know the map reveal items do not work on server, so if you test it out, let me know if it works on server.

I think i got the romantic hairstyles by swiming to bottom of ocean? Anyway if you really want the hairstyles then go into singleplayer and use cheats to get the achivements quickly. (like leveling yourself and a dino instantly) Most of the achivements can be done in a hour.
