Ark Ascended mods for Survival Evolved

[Aki]

Are there any mods that bring ascended features and creatures to Survival Evolved? I tried to find but they don’t show up

[-Artemis-]

in short no... they would be infringement of copyrights to Ascended then would be taken down.

Makes sense, hate to see that the modding community isn’t as acitve as before. I don’t seem to see anymore mods that are worth to use or try

Sadly they have been promised riches with Ascended so the majority have moved on.

Sadly there are no more dlc’s coming to Ark Survival Evolved, there are still mods that are working. Hope the game doesn’t die beacuse most people can’t run Ascended. Im currently playing ragnarok with all dinos and alot of other mods.

the only one I have found is the ascended loot crate one that basically just changes the drops inside loot crates. It does not make them look like the ascended crates though.

It also does not help how badly steam workshop is for displaying mods. If you try to look through all the most recent or updated mods here all you see is Chinese spam mods over and over again. I went back 50 pages of the last updated two days ago and it was all Chinese spam just about. I hate curseforge but people acting like steam is that much better are crazy. Its filters hardly work ever and they never remove spam or dead mods.

yeah i know, the other day i was just scrolling thru the pages and all of it was spam or tests no mods. I hate that you can only find ark mods on steam workshop or maybe you can i just don’t know it. I found alot of good mods that add dlc stuff into ragnarok and other maps.

there are so much better mods on ascended now that there are on a game that is 8,9 years old, hate to see modders leave this game stranded

The new content being added to ark survival ascended is something they hope will eventually sway people to switch to ascended.

So they're going to actively prevent any of it from being added to evolved.

that’s sad to see, atleast they could have released genesis 1,2 extinction and abberation for free for SE

There's actually a good lot who have just given up on Ark altogether, riches or not. Even some of the more prolific modders such as Eco, from what I hear. WC didn't just burn a lot of bridges with their fans over the remake, they did so with other sections of the community too...

Yeah, the whole way that ascended came about has left a sour taste with a lot of people. Some content creators gave up on ark entirely, and are working on mods for other games. Some of them didn't like the way the mods would be commercialized. They either want the mods to be entirely free, or they were already monetizing their work and don't like that ark now takes half the cost (split between wild card and the mod platform in ascended). So they've left ark in protest. (or disgust).

As someone who plays both Ascended mods are not all different or better than Evolved mods. In-fact, most of the top mods are either forks of S+ or cryopods, or mods that are still available here on evolved. The only real mod authors I still staying with Ascended for the long run with all the neglect Wildcard does to ascended is the ones that just want to profit. The game runs like piss and wildcard ignores long standing issues eventually everyone is going to move on like William mentioned here. Its prioritizing profit over simple things like optimization and bugs. They really are not the same company anymore honestly its why I hide that game and all notifications off steam and left their discord. Trying to do my part to stop contributing to greed.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me...

I'm not going to support an early access major title ever again. Make it final, streamline performance, release the dev tools in proper places and then, maybe then I will move on...

I wouldn't really say Early Access is to blame, I've seen many Early Access success stories too.

I feel that Early Access is a real boon for the gaming industry, because all the big dev houses that led the creativity of early gaming now only care about cash. They make microtransactions, they use P2W tactics, they franchise...they've lost their creative roots, and can't be trusted to make good games any more. The indie scene is now what EA Games, Codemasters, Atari etc. were back in the 90s - that's where all the creativity and innovation is happening, and that needs to be supported. But because of the stranglehold of the big names, it never gets a chance. Early Access gives them that chance by connecting directly with us gamers and letting us support them.

There are some bad apples in the bunch, that's true. But those are individual cases, not a fault of the scheme as a whole. Early Access is holding the big dev companies more to account, and offering an alternative to the buggy, repetitive content they put out year on year. Imo it should be generally supported, albeit with some careful and savvy examination of each case by us consumers to make sure the individual project is trustworthy.

there could be, but I doubt people still make content for SE. If I could I would bring those features to SE though.
