Alpha Dinos (Wild & Tamed) Are Unable to Corpse Harvest & Item Collect

[Kurindrix]

I've not played Ark Survival Evolved on PC in over 6 months and I believe an old bug has returned that is causing wild and tamed Alpha dinosaurs to not be able to consume corpses. When a tamed mounted Alpha which has one or both of the following "Harvest Settings" enabled:

- Enable/Disable Victim Item Collection
- Enable/Disable Resource Harvesting

... tries to eat/attack (Left Mouse Button Click) the corpse, nothing happens except the missed bite sound affect. The same issue occurs when a wild or tamed unmounted alpha dino attempts to eat the corpse and the dino will try this indefinitely.

NOTE: I've also tested this in both Single Player Mode and also set up a new private Ark Server v298.31 and the issue is the same.

Considering you are not technically supossed to tame an Alpha, i would assume there are bugs aplenty for them.

this ^ ... Alphas are not meant to be tamable... they do not harvest.

There are mods with tameable alphas if you wish to have one for yourself though. But as others said, alphas are not meant to be tameable. Force taming them usually means they'll delete themselves at some point...assuming it doesn't crash the game.

Thanks, I just found out the same answer when reading the following wiki about Alpha Predators @ https://ark.gamepedia.com/Alpha_Predators
