Water world Theme Map

[android_22]

Hello everyone, just out of curiosity would it be possible to create a mostly ocean map having players rely on ships and discovering small islands?

Maybe.
You could try setting the water level really high, which would make most of the world an ocean with only mountain areas popping above the water.
I have no idea if this would work though, since I never use procedural generated arks.

I can give it a shot, thanks

Also post back here with results once you've tried it and if you managed to get it to work please.

I havent tried it yet but I will soon!
I should disable that damn whale too lol

This is an interesting idea, if you find settings you like, please share, could be fun.

Sadly the game would crash when loading anything other than the islands default which has to many islands to make boats worthwhile.

I play ARK on ps4 by the way, might have more luck on PC?

this can be done, I know because ive done it. Ill look up the old map string

Put that in the Game.ini but also go ahead and throw it under this tag in the GameUserSettings.ini as well
