Me and my little brother are enjoying this map very much. Only issue is that metal is extremely hard to come by.

Maybe there could be some kind of lower-teir pelt armor to stay warm with?

Que pena que este mapa se haya quedado estancado. Lo he descubierto recientemente para instalar en mi servidor y veo que no está completado. Es inmenso y lo entiendo. Lástima.

What a shame that this map has been stagnant. I have recently discovered it to install on my server and I see that it is not completed. It is immense and I understand. Too bad!

Darkholis  [author] Jul 24, 2023 @ 3:35am 
for the time being, yes
Morpheus1101 Jul 24, 2023 @ 1:06am 
is this map dead and no longer being worked on?

Doubt will be but could be wrong. Due to how many files he had to change mods would be very hard to use. Unless they made FOR this conversion is my guess.
EliteFoil Jul 21, 2023 @ 9:31pm 
when will this map be compatible with mods
dragonsphotoworks Jul 20, 2023 @ 9:59am 
Actually..
Next Update
v 0.1.3 (ETA : TBD)
- Cave of the Brute
- Second mini-boss
- Modern-tier snow armor

So yes I think he plans to do little more.
dragonsphotoworks Jul 20, 2023 @ 9:59am 
Last update around 2 years ago. And he mentioned new map. So I would guess this one done. Though likely come back later to fix any bugs.
Spyro Jul 20, 2023 @ 9:03am 
and u still work on this map ?
Spyro Jul 20, 2023 @ 9:03am

Darkholis  [author] Jul 20, 2023 @ 7:40am 
Was only at the 3D modelling phase, so it wasn't even close from being game ready.
ShadowSlayerFX1 Jul 20, 2023 @ 7:21am 
cen you add a beta of it or will it never come?
Darkholis  [author] Jul 20, 2023 @ 6:10am 
Was planned to be added, but never got to it before moving on to the new map.
ShadowSlayerFX1 Jul 20, 2023 @ 5:55am 
it that cool ice dragon in the mod?
Darkholis  [author] Jul 19, 2023 @ 9:40am 
I'm not against the idea, but Bhelgor will take priority for the time being.
Abyss-Mariner Jul 19, 2023 @ 9:38am 
is this map going to be in ASA?
dragonsphotoworks Jul 15, 2023 @ 3:54pm 
This map changes too many files. So mods will not work. For another mod to work, the files need to be merged so can run with out over writing each other. Bit of work, and not guarantied that will work if depend on multi files.

So not sure how mods would be able work on here. But be cool if could I agree.
CloudStrife Jul 15, 2023 @ 10:16am 
Yep. In the Description of this map under Frequently Asked Questions is this post:

Are mods supported with this map? Short anwser, no. The map is fairly unique, having plenty of new creatures variants, items and even structures and this fact is the cause of compatibility issues with other mods. Several ways of fixing the problem are being evaluated, although the final fix will not be coming shortly.
Dragnzy Jul 15, 2023 @ 9:20am 
I love this map but every single time I play it my mods don't work, does anyone know anything about this?
Lappland Decadenza Jun 6, 2023 @ 3:23am 
Best mod map ever!
Kyrh May 15, 2023 @ 9:33pm 
I'm both happy and sad to hear the news Darholis. Glacius is still my #1 favourite map. I don't know why. It just is.

On that note, I understand. It's a big project to take on by yourself. You did an amazing job. It's hard to believe you were alone on this. I eagerly look forward to your next project. Honestly, I can't wait to see what you'll create. I hope it's as beautiful and foreboding as Glacius.

Darkholis, could you remove the requirements for calling a pack guardian on the Glacius map?
Darkholis  [author] Apr 25, 2023 @ 12:55pm 
I'm forever grateful of all the nice people who played and are still enjoying the map. Also, the whole adventure wasn't a lost cause as I gained an extensive amount regarding the creation of an Ark map (this was my first one ever, believe it or now) and as to what can/can't be done.

Said experiences are currently helping me with the creation of a new map I've started working on. It's going to be noticeably smaller but will also retain the challenging aspects of the original one without being as obnoxious in some aspects.

The new map will be 100% mod compatible this time around and shouldn't include any crazy custom dino variants, unless they are part of a dedicated and independent mod.

Engrams from all the paid DLCs will be part of it by default and the corresponding resources will be available in appropriate locations.

Additionally, a good amount of assets/ideas that were used/ready for Glacius will be reused in this new map to greatly speed up the development time.
Darkholis  [author] Apr 25, 2023 @ 12:55pm 
Regarding the map development itself, I'll bluntly admit that while it started as a project of passion, it slowly turned into a massive and complex mess of ideas and ego (handling such an absurdly large map, creating/modifying dinos, new structures, etc, all alone). Compounded with crippling hardware issues (once again related to the size of the mod itself) and a never ending flow of requests to make the whole darn thing compatible with mods...

For the time being, I'm considering shelving (not for ever) the map once the update is out. I'll likely be addressing and patching glaring issues as they come up and/or some of the new creatures that came to the game.

Shame not stackable with other mods

Read the description and you'll find out why you can't use mods.
Ren_E_Gade Feb 25, 2023 @ 4:40pm 
none of my mods are working for this map, is anyone else having a similar problem?
Golden Turtle Feb 23, 2023 @ 6:04am 
this map is pretty sweet are you still working on it and if not what will help for you to finish it
Cyclick Jan 29, 2023 @ 1:57am 
Mod Dead?
CloudStrife Dec 23, 2022 @ 5:19pm 
Yes you can resist the snow but first you need to collect the appropriate snow gear from the drops. The blue drops and higher will drop ramshackle fur or better. In order to get that though, you do start out in an area that's not snow, but it's really cold then. you have to be quick to get fires lit and a house built. This map is not for a rookie player and will kill you multiple times before you can leave the starting areas.
rafferty.myers Dec 23, 2022 @ 4:29pm 
two quistons can you resist the cold and is it all snow sorry for my bad spelling

@IronHideMarine The ones in the ice cave should be harvestable and give plenty of seeds. These grow and produce the fruit in lage crop plots.
IronHideMarine Dec 2, 2022 @ 10:34am 
i love the map.....does any one know where the plant species omega fruit plants are.. The ones in the ice cave are not harvestable..or the spawn codes for the Fruit?
dragonsphotoworks Sep 18, 2022 @ 7:18pm

White Sep 18, 2022 @ 6:42pm

A map that shares a name with my favorite KI character? Don't mind if I do!
-+ ClØwnie +- Jun 26, 2022 @ 8:57pm 
asking when will release be or has it happend or is there no date yet?
Tacimur Jun 7, 2022 @ 10:26am 
@Mr.Microwave If you haven't found them by now: Ice allos and snow argents spawn around the snowy mountains that separate the green zone from the colder ones. Other ice variants live in the Harrowing Steppes which are located West of the mountains, and the bison are common there as well. Bison needs a saddle and you have to tame it with the same food you would a rhino, but it's a passive tame. And it's really difficult, so trap it or have another strategy. Bison are amazing, though.
Mr.Microwave Jun 3, 2022 @ 1:25pm 
hey does any one know what bioms i mite find Ice-Creatures and Snow-Creatures

I'm still working on the map, albeit at a much slower rate. Got some IRL stuff going on, which prevents me from working on it fulltime as I used to. However, I have an update ready, which only require the mod to be cooked & published.

As for parasaurs, they should be common around any of the spawn points.
Mr.Microwave Jun 3, 2022 @ 9:58am 
where can i find paras im at the default spawn point.
Mr.Microwave Jun 2, 2022 @ 8:21pm 
So I have a couple of questions and im not trying to be mean just curious. So is this map still being updated or not as much anymore. What im trying to say does it look like this map gowing to get discontinued. because this map seems really cool and just started playing it agent not trying to be mean. P.S. where can i find paras im at the default spawn point.
salamander May 22, 2022 @ 10:56am 
@jstrineyt yh its still a w.i.p im pretty sure
