Description
--- THE X-1 SIMULATION ---

Mod ID: 2809767708

Map Name : EvenX1Simulation_Main

Progression: 100%

Fully playable

The X-1 Simulation is a map roughly 1/8 the size of The Island. It's a square map divided in 9 quadrants by a grid like structure, with a unique biome per quadrant.
This is rather small and simple. The idea here is for me to make a functionnal and fun map, with the most features I can, before making a "true map".
This map mostly uses vanilla spawners, so it is compatible with dinos mods.

RECENT UPDATES:
- 28/05:
1. Removed the wyverns, not enough space for them
2. 3 new biomes (the map is complete) -> gen 1, gen 2 dinos
3. New in game map
4. Added wall textures for the grid and better normals for various landscape textures

just based off the idea of this map, would it be possible to make a cube of biomes? Think aberration with the main cave and the surface level.

the surface would be the easiest, with those top biomes being easy spawns, and the next layer down could be more difficult biomes like redwoods or swamp, with the third layer being the most difficult, and where the boss summons are.

Maybe it's a better idea in my head than if implimented, but i feel like it could hold at least some interesting situations

if you use this idea i would appreciate either a heads up so i can check it out, or 1.2 million dollars in cash. either works

mc loving it dada da da:steamhappy:

I like this whole "simulation-miniature-grid" map - I think you should retry making this map, or expand this map, with more space for mobs, and finish the day / night cycle? or maybe, weather. This has great potential to be one of the most unique ARK maps out there! it already is a contender, it just needs polishing!

this is already an amazing map but it would be great if you made one like this but bigger

Hi MR.Bones! Actually, there were Rock Drakes initially, but I had to remove them because there wasn't enough space (like for the wyverns). There are a few aberrant dinos in the swamp biome though. :)

You still accepting suggestions? if you do how about you add an aberrant zone for reapers and Rock Drakes and other aberrant creatures

New update! 3 new biomes, the map is now complete, reworked a few textures, added the in game map!
Alreven  [author] May 27, 2022 @ 8:19pm 
It has already been changed :) It will appear in the next update
Outasteroid May 27, 2022 @ 12:53pm 
is their any intent to change the biome borders from giant textureless walls?
Alreven  [author] May 27, 2022 @ 10:17am 
New update :) I started a new biome, the wyvern trench. I modified the volcano, now there are magmasaurs there (So you can find both wyvern and magmasaur eggs). I Also reduced the amount of dino spawns over the map
