File size with ALL DLC?

[SirDuck]

Me and my friends are having a discussion about file sizes on steam games. With all the free DLC my ARK install comes in at 198GB. Could someone who has ALL of the DLC tell me how big the game is?

In truth, the paid DLC doesn't add much that isn't in the base game already, because every client has to download the models for the new dinos and equipment even if they don't have the map. If they didn't have those files, then whenever someone transferred a creature from one of those maps to the world the player was on, that player would crash.

So a player who doesn't have the paid DLCs is only missing the files for the maps themselves - all other content from the DLCs is in their directory already.

I have all the paid DLCs, plus the free ones, plus a bunch of mods (a few of which are very large), and my directory is currently at 207GB. Rough estimate of if I were to remove all my mods, I reckon I'd be able to knock 4 or 5 off that.

Massive...well over 500GB. I think on my new laptop, I have about 200GB remaining on a 1TB SSD...so...yeah. And all I've installed is ARK haha.
