Ark Aberration: Earthquake Stop?

[ArkantoZz]

Hello,
it's possible to turn off the earthquake via Server Console or something?

[FenrirTheWerewolf]

I don't think it is possible: earthquakes are a part of the "setting" of the map which is an undergorund ecosystem on a damaged ARK... I don't own the dlc but i have never seen an option to turn them off in any video...

nope. thats like turning off weather events on SE. Doesnt mean someone might not mod the option in later

It's really not. Weather does something in SE, a lot of people might not have liked it, but it was an actual gameplay mechanic. Earthquakes in Aberration do nothing but make people motion sick. It's purely cosmetic, and should have an option to disable them.

[Lina]

actually wrong, they drop resources and even high end items as well as damage structures

[Seeks]

Earthquakes in Aberration also drop supplies and gems - so there is some point at least early on to help with survival. But yes, having an ability to turn them down like camera shake toggle, would be nice. :)

[Lina]

while yes the shaking is purely cosmetic, a toggle would be nice, turning off the event as a whole is a bit silly

Maybe if the earthquake had rocks falling along with loot? You would have to make a choice and go out and risk getting killed to get the loot, or hide and wait.

As much as I like the earthquakes, theres no risk what so ever.

yea in my point its all about this shake, I hate it.

[Lina]

well ark, mount a dino or a boat or sit in a chair and shake is gone

[Ultra_Instinct_Goku]

if u still didnt realise its not earthquakes but those ROLL RATS having a party underground

[Lina]

just grab their red gems and they will come celebrate with you

There is an effect. When you climb with climbing pick, if you climb during a tremor, you fall.
You either wait and not move, or time your hooking with the tremor.

Simple fix: Look away when earthquakes happen

im with the OP on this one .... if they dont add an option to turn it off they could at least modify the mechanic so it does a short but large shake when it begins and a short but large shake when it stops .....

Ya, since the last time I posed here, my buddy and I got real tired of the mechanic...
