When it blows up you loose everything in its inventory so don't keep tames in it lol

Good point docAcez; I have lilmited mobility and over the years i play differently. Most of my pet and weapons are over powered. I still get killed. My game is to find the highest quality dinos and have them mate. I still have to get down off my dragon or giga or flying machine and most the time knock out my pray.. then i have to stand around in the open with a stinking sick dino who in the eyes of many is a good meal. then ive got to get it home.. anyway i've figured out a way for me to enjoy and though my grandsons think I use to many cheats I have fun.
DocAceZ Jul 24, 2023 @ 10:19am 
Great idea - way too OP, makes the player pretty much invulnerable to all attacks. Where is the worry and the challenge if there is NO risk of getting killed? None -

Would you ever consider making the Ford Explorer and Jeep from the movies too? those are iconic , and seeing them in Ark would be dope.
Raven Jan 19, 2023 @ 11:42pm 
why does the shield from time to time turn green?
I love the front lights at night, would be nice to enable long lights to?
Love that you can adjust your own sphere, only gripe i have is the endless fuel it have.
It should run on batteries or on gasoline or something, dont you think?

GreySquirrelNation May 10, 2022 @ 7:57am 
How do you bring up the admin menu?
Francisca Jan 30, 2022 @ 2:29am 
This is amazing! Thank you.

Once Wildcard releases the ARK 2 Mod Kit the GYROSPHERE will find its way into ARK 2.
Garghoul Aug 14, 2021 @ 8:42am 
This is the highest quality mod on here, if only ARK had this quality. It looks and works better than the game.
fudgesociety96 Jun 18, 2021 @ 10:39am 
we need this in ark 2 when the game it out
Aspect Feb 22, 2021 @ 9:09am 
This mod still work?
elassar Jan 29, 2021 @ 2:38am 
Cool. Would be tek tier if part of the genuine game though, not metal tier (would require tekgram and stuff to craft and/or use)
Rayne Nov 11, 2020 @ 3:17am 
Great mod. Loads of fun, but 3 days ago passengers get kicked out as soon as the Gyro moves. Anyone else with this problem?
W00lies Nov 3, 2020 @ 9:01pm 
I just got the engram unlocked for this and it's so much fun! It's really a great and safe way to travel around with a lot of loot (we're not using flyers) and the view underwater is really nice! It feels like it's OP but it's really just a nice little side thing since you can't really attack or tame anything inside of it.

The one thing that makes it a tad OP is putting it in a cryopod. Yes, you can put it in a cryopod! Hahaha~!
SteveUnperceived Oct 27, 2020 @ 8:18am 
Great work on this mod! i like that it keeps the immersion in the game:steamhappy:
Icarus May 29, 2020 @ 11:39am 
*REALLY* good mod! Great fun, useful and adds to the playability. Big thumbs up :steamhappy:
liseł Apr 12, 2020 @ 11:02am 
This is Good i liked
Superian Mar 24, 2020 @ 3:21pm 
Remove the ability to change the characteristics of the gyrosphere , this is not a fair option. :thesheep:
Hirnsausen Feb 26, 2020 @ 2:43pm 
Triple-wow!
And the strange feeling that I have seen this sphere somewhere else before, already. Strange... .-D

ADVISE: add small dirt to the round glass, so people can see that it rotates.
Also try to add leaving a track trace behind. And prevent water from being inside (like a tiny round underwater tek chamber).
piper or something Jan 31, 2020 @ 7:46am 
wtf is this mod 😂
SliderBaine1970 Jan 30, 2020 @ 2:25pm

Markus112 Jan 14, 2020 @ 9:01am 
the screen does not work for me and the bars are not labeled. the gyrosphere also jerks when I drive it to the station. i play on my server from g-portal.
sorry for my bad english.

Lo unico que falta en ARK ya esta
Vas Dec 9, 2019 @ 1:07pm 
You're in a heavy indestructible ball of bulletproof glass and metal, the amount of O2 needed to make that ball lighter than water would probably make it heavier than water while crushing everyone inside. And the amount of helium would suffocate everyone inside. :P

Physics is my preference for games, however I know Ark lacks a lot of that. God I wish I could do a total overhaul mod.

However I like this idea for balancing really, to stop people from being able to use the ball in certain ways, being forced to clamp to the ground is one good disadvantage of the ball, ocean floor and such being a long journey to get somewhere. But then I know your mod was made for observation purposes and more PVE than PVP.
Nekres  [author] Dec 9, 2019 @ 12:12pm 
It floats. I can make a settings for it probably. But why is it so bad that it floats? There are dinos that float as well.
Vas Dec 3, 2019 @ 4:30pm 
Does the Gyrosphere still float or swim? Or does it sink like a rock now? I stopped using it way -way- back because it was kind of a cheaty tool, I wanted to make it for players to be able to use but it allowed people to just float above the water like it was nothing so I was just curious if you found a way to make it sink like a rock.
Nekres  [author] Nov 25, 2019 @ 3:25pm 
Yes, using "cheat destroyall <classname> "

Gyrosphere
cheat destroyall Gyrosphere_Character_BP_C

Gyrosphere Station
cheat destroyall Gyrosphere_Station_C
GemGem Nov 23, 2019 @ 5:03am 
Anyway admin command to destroy all on the server? Thank you
Nekres  [author] Sep 27, 2019 @ 2:55pm 
The update is already out. The Gyrosphere protects the players inside of it fully.
Crimson Flam3s Sep 26, 2019 @ 9:53pm 
Thanks, that would be awesome! I figured the gyrosphere would fully protect the player and take damage instead of the player himself like a real one would, not being indestructible of course.

If we still aggro dinos, do we still get damaged by them? I think adding an option to offset the damage to the sphere's healthbar would be fair.

Either way, thanks!
Nekres  [author] Sep 19, 2019 @ 10:19am 
@CrimsonFlam3es However, on second thought I agree that this should not be an interaction between a dino and a rider in a fully enclosed vehicle.

In the next update I will prevent a bunch of debuffs, like stunned/dazed, gashed, gassed, sandstorm, windstorm, bee stings etc that I find make sense to be protected from while inside the Gyrosphere.
That means you will also be immune to stealing from Pegomastax and immune from being pinned down by Raptors and immune to being stunned by Trikes' charge attack.

However, you cannot exceed extremes such as driving into lava or getting enflamed. Sure, the air conditioner can handle extreme temperatures but even that has its limits. If "extreme" is getting "too extreme" for the tiny glass enclosure prepare to be baked alive.
Nekres  [author] Sep 18, 2019 @ 10:41pm 
It's no bug. If you are not invisible because you had aggro on you while you entered the Gyrosphere all dinos will have their usual interaction with you.
Crimson Flam3s Sep 18, 2019 @ 4:18pm 
Thanks! Are we ever getting fixed the whole raptors can take you out of the gyrosphere if they jump at you fixed?
Nekres  [author] Sep 16, 2019 @ 10:56am 
Yes it is. You can check the date of the latest update in the top right corner of this page.
D3MONIC Sep 15, 2019 @ 7:04pm 
Is this mod still up to date an working ? Any feed back would be cool Thanks
Eric_Vikingson Sep 12, 2019 @ 1:35pm 
this mod is so fucking cool!!!
Nekres  [author] Sep 12, 2019 @ 10:19am 
Ok pfew, works in Singleplayer and should work on servers, we are done here.

If it does not work for you: Make sure you have the latest update from 12. Sep @ 7:04pm ( <Change Notes> #65)

Enjoy.
Nekres  [author] Sep 12, 2019 @ 5:33am 
@Join My Ark Cluster

this is expected.
The Gyrosphere offers clear vision underwater
also, if a dino has aggro on you, that means, if a dino sees you while you try to go into the Gyrosphere you will not get the Primal Invisibility buff (this is to ensure no cheating and a more immersive approach. This is also why when you do get the buff you have a set timer running before it truly makes you invisible.)
Nekres  [author] Sep 12, 2019 @ 5:26am 
Hey, sorry for the inconvinience caused by the frequent updates.

I have tried making Sparkpowder work on the same Turn On/Off button as electricity while the Station keeps checking for both Electricity and fuel simultainously. Although I had quite the success at some point (then lost all progress somehow) it never really truly worked without introducing another bug elsewhere.

So overnight I came with a solution.

The next (and last) update will add a Switch to Fuel/Electricity button to the inventory user-interface enabling the Gyrosphere Station to concentrate all checks on one source or the other, avoiding any bugs when activating it.
The inventory description will also dynamically update its text to show the current mode.
Of course, the button won't show if Only use Electricity is checked by an admin in the configurations.

Best Regards,
Andy

Since last update Players cant join Server anymore :/ Always tells Mod Not Updated but we all have new update also i Updated server mods but still same error -.-
youtube@DangerRuss_TV Sep 10, 2019 @ 9:08pm 
This mod is pretty awesome and all, but there are some fixes needed for sure. For instance, when in first person while under water, all the water goes away...

And if you get out of the gyro while under water, then get back in, all dino's can now see you.
Gorgarn Sep 9, 2019 @ 9:09pm 
Thank you for the prompt reply! I do hate having to shutdown a server for a singleplayer change that doesn't impact my play, but I can, and do, live with that. I Love this mod!
Nekres  [author] Sep 9, 2019 @ 12:25pm 
Sorry for the inconvience folks!
Here are the final patchnotes from the recent Singleplayer maintenance:

<Change Notes>
Nekres  [author] Sep 9, 2019 @ 12:16pm 
No don't worry. It was just me trying to fix a bug that was just occuring in Singleplayer.
Unfortunately I did not fix it until now because somehow Singleplayer in the game boots up differently than in the devkit environment so I had to find a way fast. I tried to work as fast as possible. Now you know why some other modders don't even allow bugreports from Singleplayer. :)

There will be one last update to clean up some code.

What was fixed?
- (Singleplayer) Fixed a bug that made already placed Gyrosphere Stations appear invisible after loading a save game.
- (Singleplayer) Sparkpowder now correcty turns on the Gyrosphere Station.
- (Singleplayer) If no sparkpowder is left the Gyrosphere Station will now correctly turn off.


Sorry for the inconvinience caused.

Gorgarn Sep 9, 2019 @ 10:24am 
Please tell us what is being changed. I don't mind having my server auto-shutdown for updates, but I'm starting to think that something has gone wrong somewhere. last several updates have all been gyrospere and nothing shows in the change notes.
Nekres  [author] Sep 9, 2019 @ 6:46am 
So sorry for that load of updates.

I have now fixed already placed GyroSphere Stations being invisible when you load up a singleplayer saved game.:steamhappy:
Nekres  [author] Sep 8, 2019 @ 6:11am 
Sorry for the long downtime folks.

Hopefully fixed.
- (Singleplayer) Stations appear invisible after game restart until picked up and replaced.

Maybe fixed.
- (Singleplayer) Stations cannot run with sparkpowder when "^ Raise" or "v Lower" has been used until picked up and replaced.

These two issues are really weird to fix, because the devkit's testplay isn't similar to Singleplayer. I did not ever had these issues in the devkit.
Crimson Flam3s Jun 18, 2019 @ 9:34pm 
How do I pull out the ingame config menu?
_-FrankTheTank-_ May 20, 2019 @ 1:43pm 
love it but the station wont run on sparkpowder at all. not for me anyway. but i realy do love it.
