Stuck in a crack

[Deacon the destroyer]

Slipped in to a craves and now I am floating and worn out trying to jump out. Any suggestions on how to get out?

You wont, wait the 30 mins until you are dead, this bug is known for 18 months yet, seems to be a low lvl bug that can only be fixed in the final optimization and fixing phase of ark.

[Deacon the destroyer]

So die and lose another base? ♥♥♥♥ ARK. That would be 9.

[hullu hullu]

How do you lose a base by dying? Do you play solo on official hardcore server?

[Deacon the destroyer]

I play solo and have this useless picture they call a map. I have no clue where I am at on that map and never seem to last long enough to be able to drop a bed; which I am told is how you mark a location. When I die and respawn I can never find my hut/base again.

ya, I know about pin, it wants the long and lat and I have no idea what my long and lat is, I don't see where it says.

Haha i feel you, but thats how it works in this game, start is die-a-lot, then you go to farm-a-lot, then tame-a-lot, then build-a-lot, after 1500 hours and countles adventures you slowly get bored and after a while it just becomes maintenance-a-lot and then you stop playing it, probably at 2000h.

Just try to level at start, dont tame or build except building tools and weapons, level melee and hp only, after a while you will realize that you can kill most of the smaller things on your own and thats the point where you WILL start to build like a pro :D (yes, even a bed)

[Deacon the destroyer]

ya, I should have worked on leveling up rather then trying to build and level. Got ahead of my self.

Try to keep a small amount of the basic materials on you. I have had a few instances where i got stuck , and was able to build my way out.

You may be able to put a thatch foundation near lip above you with ladder down, or put pillar/fence foundation to jump up.

Worse case scenario, the hole is marked if you do die there by what you built trying to escape... then just block from above so it can't happen again.

Umm you can turn on a pointer that shows where you are at on the map.

Not on an official server, much like bow crosshairs.

But I have given up on this character and will have to start on a different server; yet again. An hour and food was down to 89.4%. That character is going to take a day to starve, and I don't have the band width to waste waiting him.

This game needs a suicide button. I already have 2 abandoned characters because I spawned in in some big castle full of dinos.

Can you waste stamina and then eat your poop to slowly die from it?

[Deacon the destroyer]

I'm floating. I emptied my inventory in hopes of getting something built up to stand on, nope.

2 hours and I'm down to 86.6%

You able to at least attack? If you can its a good way to drain stamina hence speed up the drain of water and food.

I have got stuck while taming a dino 2x. walked on top of it and was like floating/swimming in the air just slightly above the dino, couldnt get off.
Shot the grappling hook into the ground a lil ways away and pulled myself off and was fine.

Have Grappling hook?
