map with all creatures?

[Puck G.]

Is there a map where all creatures spawn? Maybe in zones, desert, genesis and such? Causse i dont like to switch my map all the time and id prefer them all in one. And maybe one where the new fjordmap creatures will be in too?

There may be some mod made map but no official maps contain 100% all available creatures. This is intentional to incentivize playing on various maps, especially in cases(like official servers) where they're clustered to work together.

You can of course in single player or some player run servers use mods that add dinos (try not to use mods from different makers mixed as that causes problems) too.

All in all again the answer though is primarily no without altering things.

hmm i wouldnt mind mods no but its more like, i wanna make my own server and using mulitple maps is confusing to my noob brain

If you are not adverse to using mods, I would recommend simple spawners. Do some admin work before opening up the server to people by placing spawn locations. You can cantrol the area, amount, and type of creatures spawning. You can even add resource nodes for maps without access to certain things, like mushroom wood on The Island.

A non-mod way to add spawns is to manually edit the spawn containers on the map you want to play.

Theres a custom spawners mod you could try, it's recommended by the Crystal Isle devs when using their spawn mod. Haven't tried it myself but apparently it lets you place spawns for dinos and resources, might be the closest thing you'll find right now to have all spawns on one map.

Running a server is a steep learning curve. Keep it simple for starters and as others have mentioned in addition to what I already said, there are mods that add dinos but just keep in mind that such mods:

1. May replace spawns of dinos(meaning less of other dinos normal to a map)(most mods don't do this but some do.

2. That since a server has a limited number of dinos to a map, that you're diluting the numbers of spawns of most dinos be it the new or the normal ones for the map. You can of course increase in server settings the wild dino count but understand that you can have other adverse effects from doing so(especially if you alter other settings or with more mods after that).



Also if you're making your own server, keep in mind there are over 70,000+ player run servers that already exist. If you're intent is to chase player numbers and compete with those servers, then that may not be a good choice to make. If you already have a group of friends or you just want to play on your own persistent server because its something you like then that's probably a better thing but again running a server can be a rather big task for some. I've seen so many people over these 7 years set up a server, not really paying attention to what is involved and end up either biting off more than they could chew or getting burned out or both.

Just ground your expectations is mainly what I'm saying.

noo the server would be for me and friends, cause the coop in the game is annoying with the limit of distance between eachother. But thanks anyway!!!!

that might be a good idea, thanks!

Mods are an easy way to do it. I have Genesis 1 and 2 creatures on my single-player maps, plus the excellent creatures from the Prehistoric Beats mod. A quick DestroyWildDinos the first time I ran my single-player games and all the 'work' was done.

Free maps without mods, I'd suggest Ragnarok. It has wyverns and griffins, both of which are game changers. Riding some wyvern types, you can kill most non-flyer type dinos with ease. On a griffin, you can solo tame a quetzal, although after you have one quetzal, you can easily solo tame another, regardless of its level.

Free maps with mods, I'd suggest Valguero. There are two mods that restore some Valguero content made by the original Valguero map makers that the Ark devs removed when they adopted Valguero, because it included some things from the not-free maps, such as Extinction and Aberration, and is the easiest map to farm element. Dinos removed from the official Valguero version are such things as managarmrs, snow owls, rock drakes, velonosaurs, light pets and other dinos that previously only exist on Aberration. The mods also restore griffins, which you can also get on the free map Ragnarok, for reasons, I haven't a clue, other than they make it easy to solo tame a quetzal.

Be wary of Genesis I, although it does contain some interesting dinos and other features, unless you play it with a high level toon or an experienced player. I started Gen I with a new toon, along with 3 other experienced players playing new toons, and it took us hours to be able to meet up with each other. However, we started in what the game suggested was the easiest place (swamp), whereas we found later that the ocean biome would have been trivial.

Genesis II on the other hand, was the easiest map to play with a new toon, once you learn how to use the Tek suit, if you haven't already.

But both Gen I and II are difficult to meet the requirements for killing end game bosses solo compared to other maps.

thank you so much for the in dept explanation! I did play genesis 1 a few hours when it released but kept going back to normal ark. Now we want to play after a long time and get like everything :P But thanks so much!

Most creatures (not those of non-canoncal maps, though) spawn at Genesis 2. This is also the only official map, where all Engrams are available at once. At least the official ones. (there are several creatures at non-canoncial maps with own saddles.).
I think most dragons aren't available at Genesis 2... (Rockdrake and Wyverns, at least. Not sure about Magmasaur and a Managarmr.) But there are other Genesis 2 creatures. The Griffin and Crxstal Wyverns are worth mentioning. Both are availabl at crystal isles. (The griffin is a creature orginal of Ragnarock). So all in all you only realy need Gen 2 and CI imho.

But if you didn't realy play the game, yet, I recommend simply starting at island and playing through the story. (or just continue to play on the next map, if you don't want to kill the overseero on island and/or the other bosses on the other maps.) The game has a lot of features and is not so easy to master. (Although simple to learn imho.)

As mod, Structures+ is a must, imho. It eases things significantly and has a lot of QoL-features (such as auto-opening and -closing of doors.) Set your pickup-timer to zero, though... (this is also possible without the mod in Singlplayer/ own Server)

[Grenthy]

One thing about adding certain creatures too is that sometimes you need either other creatures or equipment to tame them. One example is Tek Stryders, which higher levels require mission completion, which can only be done on Gen II (And maybe Gen I) and mutagel. Voidwyrms also require mutagen, both resources you can only find on Gen II.
