Enable fliers on Genesis?

[Fishkeeper]

Okay, if they're going to make fliers not rideable, they shouldn't have saddles for fliers. Put in armor instead or something.

Second, is there any way I can enable fliers? Maybe even just for a few biomes. I know it's meant to up the challenge, but how am I supposed to climb all these sea stacks to do anything? Am I missing Thylacoleos somewhere, that I'm supposed to... float around on a raft?

is it that hard ?

If you cannot fly them then they shouldn't even be in the map, why the hell did the devs even put bird spawn points and even do new skins for them! They killed Quetzals now even argies

There's no need to be rude, and I don't know if I /have/ "serversettings" for singleplayer. Or how to open any of the things that are mentioned. If you actually know the answer, it would have been much more helpful to give it.

And I think they could still be useful without riding. Dimorphodon aren't rideable, but boy do they make a good attack squad. Argentavis can still carry things, and could be useful on mountains. Clearly I want to fly them, but they aren't totally useful. The saddles are absurd, though.

Single player does have server settings since it hosts internally.
It's in your steam folder under steamapps/common/ARK/Shootergame/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor
in the GameUserSettings.ini [open it with notepad] Just find the part labeled [ServerSettings] and add it in there.

That worked, thank you! Birdboat time.

Saddles still provide armor which is critical to tame survival unless you are playing on carebear settings. L2p.

the ini command worked for me when put above the [player info] segment at the end. if you just put it all the way at the bottom (usually the mod section) or other unrelated segments it doesnt work

I put it at the top of the list of all the things you can adjust in the pre-game menu, like difficulty, dino count, and XP gain.

You think Wildcard think of details? Look at the release ffs, those guys are completely inept. Haven't improved anything in 5 years.

First of, you can fly, they simply moved flying to end game with tek, where they added in the most amazing flying vessel, a hover craft that can lift and carry dinos like the quetz, not to mention you can build on it too and it moves really fast. The reason they removed basic flying is because they (the simulation) wants you to use the spiderman insect, plus the maps are designed for the new creatures. Aberration did not have flying either, did you cry like a baby then aswell?

Why did they leave the pteradons and argies in the game if you can't fly them, because of the eggs for kibble, plus they thought people like you would cry and want their flying back, so when you add in the line in the GUS to enable flying (you know you can do that right?) then there would be flying dinos available and you would not need to go and add in all the spawns yourself.

Would be nice if you crybabies spent some time playing and discovering all these new stuff yourself or atleast learning how to add in a few lines in the GUS to enable flying.

...yes cause aberration is such a fun map without fliers... just a TON of people playing it.... oh wait...

[Jimbodiah]

Genesis will be just like AB when the "new" wears off. This has got to be the worst map for base building and getting around. Biomes are so small you don't need flyers anyway. but this will be a map to tame the new creatures on and then head straight home. It's pretty useless, even AB is more interesting.

But on topic:

GameUserSettings.ini

[ServerSettings]
bForceCanRideFliers=true

Yes aberration is fun mainly because it has no fliers. Rock drakes are much more fun and feel awesome to glide with compared to just flying. Also, Wildcards own maps have never been the best or most popular, because people play maps that were mods first, like The Center, then Valhalla and Ragnarok and now Valguero. But like I said, there still exists flying in Genesis, they just moved to tek tier in this simulation with the new Hovercraft, plus you can enable it with a single command line in the GUS. But I suppose you would rather cry more like a little dodo.
