The Tek replicator in Extinction DLC (BUG?)

[RAV]

So basicly the Tek replicator on Extinction is a mess ive been trying to figure out how to get it without a cluster server/cross ark server what ever you want to call thats is...

The orbital supply drop seems to provide a bp/engram for it but it wont do anything in terminals/artifact drops/orbital drops/city terminals/fab/smithy/player inv nor any of the dino invetories such as the beaver rendering, the Tek replicator to be impossible to get in Exintinction without cheating or a cross ark server.

And that to me is unacceptable to just assume that every unofficial server is a cross ark server?
There are tons of posts on steam/twitter/forums/reddit about this damn thing already and they still havent done anything about it.

For those that dont know for not being able to get the Tek replicator just blocks you from getting extinction end game content like the mek.


Ive reposted this on general discussion too because it seems to be more popular and probably has a higher chance of being seen by any of the devs?

EDIT: There is a fix coming for this!

Thanks to nemisis331 and Elgar for providing us a reddit post about this !

I didnt understand if you asking about being able to craft the replicator or useing it, these are 2 diffrent things, u can craft the droped tek replicator bp by draging the bp to one of you action slots then pressing it (need to have all the stuff needed in you inv), but after you craft it and place it you are unable to use it (turn on/off or get inside the replicator inv), becouse it is not registerd as learnd engram.

Except it isn't trolling. People just don't like being told that if they want something they should actually earn it. Sometimes you have to repeat yourself for people to actually understand the point. Sorry you missed it.

And the issue with "well you can't get it on extinction", the game is intended to be played through ascending. If YOU want to play the game other than it is intended, it isn't the devs responsibility to change it. You have the tools available, you change it. But look, I'm repeating myself again! Probably because the same argument keeps being used.

And then again why put a tek replicator bp/item (i really dont know what it was meant to be because its broken atm) that doesnt work to the orbital drops?

The dev post on reddit says it was a bug and wasn't supposed to drop.

Ive just learned about this aswell but a thing i dont understand is that why to have the player spending engram points on the mek stuff when it can be only crafted on the replicator? just seems stupid to me.

[RAV]

And no i dont look nemesis posts as trolling.

[RAV]

And nemesis dont you think that the titans should drop the replicator engram too like all other bosses in other maps yes? because that isnt the case with extinction bosses atm.

with 350 weight my character cannot hold all required items to craft the replicator. Is your game heavily modded with stack mods and increased character weight? If so, cool, mods are great, changing stats are fun sometimes. But official, speed is more important than 600 plus weight. This is a fun topic but I am done. Like I stated, I was hoping they added a blueprint of replicator that gave extra slots. Ark, nothing is perfect, never will be. Play in the confines of the created game or modify it, they gave us the tools to do so. I didn't think you got the replicator from Aberrration Boss fight, but I don't know, I conquered the Island before ever going there. Conquered Aberration before going to Extinction, you know, how the game was meant to be played. LOL

The "MY way or the highway" mentality is getting so old. If thats how its """supposed""" to be done then they should take out the ability to start from lvl1 on that map. Otherwise people wont be playing "right". Man thats such a joke i cant even roll my eyes hard enough to express how much of a joke that is. Its like hardcore mode players complaining that there is a mode with respawns because it isnt challenging like that for them.

If it isnt supposed to drop from the OSD then they need to put a way to obtain it on that map. Like beating a titan which currently wont give you it. So people can play how they want to play with their own playstyles in this very customizable game. Period, end of story. No "But my way is right" Or "you have to earn it by doing 100% of the content first because i did and now im a pissy baby about others getting it a smarter way".

Honestly that isnt a hard concept to grasp.

my understanding is extinction is a the next progression of the others so technically you are supposed to have advanced and beaten all the previous bosses and gained all previous tech.

My group likes treating every map as a new experience from lvl 1.so to solve the tek problem we configured the server in a simple way. when you reach lvl 100, all tek up to extinction unlocks for the player. Problem solved, no need to worry about clusters.

even when you watch the video provided that showed off the titan fight, they were wearing tek gear to fight it. so clearly we are meant to fight the bosses already having tek, not fighting them to gain/unlock tek.


This leads to the next point, with all that in mind. I am sure the new map was meant for pvp, but it works quite well for pve....if you have a way to overcome the tek part.

those in official pve/pvp...get screwed unless part of an alpha tribe.Unofficial, not a problem cluster or no cluster.

LOL, easier for them to add the engram than to remove, create new character. Every player is at the mercy of the Dev's creation. That is until we start adding mods and manipulate the ini files. Which changing ini so that the engram drops during titan fight would be way quicker than waiting for them Devs to make you happy. They know it is broken at the moment and in time they will have a solution. Until then, no amount of, whatever that was Raina, is going to fix it. Admins or singleplayer gameplay will have to adjust until the new Map is semi fixed to appease everyone or to actually have what they intended in it. Don't get to emotional, it is a game after all. Because seriously, what if the Devs intend you to play at least one other map to get some Tek engrams before you play Extinction? Most people would end up changing the ini files so they can level 1 character it. Most people are not in the mindset of "do it cause I did" blah blah. That is just one of many solutions to everyones complaint about not having the learnable engrams on this new map. Since most complaints come from those not playing on official servers, the freedom is there to change the game to make it so you have the engrams, or can at least earn them.

You cant really change what the titans drop from ini files atm nor can you make any mods to extinction because the dev kit hasnt been updated and wont be for a long time and if the devs know something is broken and stuff why on earth wouldnt they play test their own dlcs? after all the game has been out for 1 year out of early access anyways so youd expect that from launch there would be only minimal issues but i quess this isnt the case with wildcard.

All they would have to do is run say 10 test servers with selected test players that have applied to test it before its released to make sure that stuff like this doesnt happen.

You know its like that they are just like this "Hmm we have alot of broken stuff on this dlcs but lets release it anyways and see if the players mind it"

This tek replicator is honestly the least of my worries now the map is at a state that you can legit get under the mesh with a ptera by continisously barrel rolling to the ground or just by foot finding a rock that you can walk thru or just ground that has holes and i mean BIG holes

[RAV]

Ive been play testing other games such as rust and if their updates/patches were on similar conditions as extinction is now they would never even release it before being fixed.

[Sage]

Can you craft it in the normal Cave drops?

[Trigger Zero]

No, normal cave drops do not give the option. The devs have stated both that the blueprint isn't supposed to drop from the OSDs, that it is a bug, and that flying in the caves are unintended and it will be fixed in the next patch. The titans will award the engram for Extinction.

Osd drop crafted tek replicators...
