@Kaluga Studios I did a dino wipe and more dinos spawn back But then half of them are invisible is there something i'm missing like another mod?

is anybody else having spawning issues? I played for 30 minutes flying around in creative just looking at the map and saw 1 carno and 2 pteras lol

My lanta people whatever you do DON'T play this on ASA first and then discover it for ASE and get excited thinking they're the same map.

Man was i lost when i loaded in on ASE lmao

was hoping to play it with a friend who's PC can't handle ASA but oh well, It's pretty stunning on ASA for anyone still on the fence about upgrading from ASE

No DLC requirements?

Is there a list of new creatures?
Kaluga Studios  [author] Nov 2, 2024 @ 10:59pm 
@Kazzy If I remember correctly, they are in a part of the dunes where oil is extremely common.

@ScriptGenius12 I do believe that modded creatures spawn. The DLC Needed are Scorched Earth, Lost Island, Aberration, and Crystal Isles I believe. The new creatures only spawn in ASA.
Kazzy Nov 2, 2024 @ 12:28pm 
WHERE IS THE OIL VEINS PLEASE
ScriptGenius12 Oct 7, 2024 @ 8:10am 
Do I need any dlc?

Do new creatures appear here or only on ASA?

Do modded creatures appear?
HerrVorragend Oct 3, 2024 @ 12:35pm 
First of all, its a BIG map! I love to play on it. But i cant find oil... Can someone help me find it? :D
Zetsu Sep 1, 2024 @ 4:33pm

Me and my friends honestly think that this is the best map we have ever played on, Very huge map, The immense dense forests, The sheer beauty is unmatched. we were playing this map on ASA and then we found out that we cannot travel we cannot play on this map as we cannot do all the boss fights and get other creatures from other maps. I read in the description that it says the oblisks were removed to increase the natural beauty i think? In extincton they have those tiny little terminals to travel around from, Personally those little terminals you would not even notice on your map as your map is soooo big and dense. Honestly this is the best map that anyone has ever created on ark and when we played before we learned that we could not travel to other maps we were heavily disappointed because now we cannot play this map.

great map just really sad it resulted in my character being corrupted trying to transfer or maybe just transfer system issue
Kaluga Studios  [author] Apr 11, 2024 @ 6:50pm 
Thank yall a ton for all the support and good vibes in this trying time! Map development is coming along fairly well. Waiting on Wildcard to tell me when I can release it.
rhwang82 Apr 7, 2024 @ 8:09pm 
How's the development for this map coming along in ASA? I just recently found out about this map in ASE and it already looks insane so I'm especially excited about your renewal for it in ASA.
SlackerDude1 Apr 5, 2024 @ 10:28am 
This map has such potential! Thank you for all the work you have put into it. I look forward to the possibility of any future updates. I plan to use this map as I spin up another server in my ASE cluster. Unfortunately, it will likely be a year or more before I seriously consider ASA, as it is still far too rough around the edges for me to be willing to pay the current price for clearly unfinished work.
Kaluga Studios  [author] Mar 8, 2024 @ 4:07pm 
It should
Gravemind Gaming Mar 4, 2024 @ 7:01pm 
Does this map still work for single player?
Kaluga Studios  [author] Mar 4, 2024 @ 5:10pm 
@Sunny, I'm really sorry but I had to put my focus on the ASA version and it's still taking most of my time as it is my current job. I might update this version in the future when I have more time. Thank you for your patience.
Sunny Mar 3, 2024 @ 5:28am 
Is this Map working on ASE? Is there a Server running with this map?
Kaluga Studios  [author] Feb 3, 2024 @ 6:09pm 
Not a problem!
calismarie Jan 31, 2024 @ 8:24pm 
@Kaluga Studios ..thank you so very kind of you
Kaluga Studios  [author] Jan 31, 2024 @ 1:50pm 
Just Appalachia should be fine @calismarie.
calismarie Jan 31, 2024 @ 6:08am

:steamhappy:

I don't see the mod in mine
Kaluga Studios  [author] Dec 3, 2023 @ 3:04pm 
@shoot_to_ill, the map requires all the DLC as the upgraded assets were way better than the free map ones.
shoot_to_ill Dec 3, 2023 @ 8:10am 
I'm really excited about this map but I can't seem to get it to work. It takes about 15 minutes for it to finally load, and when I do, the trees are floating and it's super glitchy. I have downloaded it two separate times. Any advice? Thanks!
Kaluga Studios  [author] Nov 8, 2023 @ 11:29pm 
@BL, Thank you! The issues in this version are already fixed and being tested by Curseforge as we speak. THere are definitely more spawns as the new version has it set up to where spawns are easier to do. The ASA version also has a TON more places to spawn in at and the map has changed so much it's unrecognizable. More landmarks, resources, dinos, and all!

@Nikko, unfortunately yes it does have to be paid due to my contract and also this being my job. I may make the animals in a pack for free though so people can have the animals for free at least. I'll try to but no garuntees on the pack. This mod will for sure be on consoles though. THat I am 100% on because it's really just a click of a button and it's optimized for it.
Nikko Nov 8, 2023 @ 8:41am 
Hi. I read you'll charge 5 to 8 dollars for the ASA version. Really far to me. I'm playing on PC, but I'll buy the game again on PS5 or Xbox. Will you launch this map for consoles too?
BL Nov 6, 2023 @ 4:49pm 
Excellent map! Good performance. Really cool biomes, the few I saw. I ran around for an hour and migrated from north to south. Trees, plants, rocks, and metals were good, but animals and dinos were very sparse. Really good, but hard to play without hides and such.
Kaluga Studios  [author] Oct 28, 2023 @ 1:46pm 
@Erigon, Thank you! So much stuff is coming and as updates come along, I'll be sharing it in my discord server for the map! Can't wait to see what you guys think!
Erigon Oct 28, 2023 @ 4:35am 
still stoked about this map cant wait to see it on asa, will this map have boss's to fight? if you need a server to test it iam down for doing it with my people.
Kaluga Studios  [author] Oct 27, 2023 @ 10:50am 
@brian.fortier Nope. I tried to make one but it didn't turn out good.
brian.fortier Oct 27, 2023 @ 9:05am 
is there a map of the map?
Kaluga Studios  [author] Oct 26, 2023 @ 8:08am 
@mariferi, yep.
mariferi Oct 26, 2023 @ 5:55am 
After 5 minutes of walking, I didn't see a single animal. Is that normal?
Kaluga Studios  [author] Oct 16, 2023 @ 10:49am 
@hiamommy03, It's just Appalachia
Ghostie Geralt Oct 12, 2023 @ 5:03pm 
what is the map name to put in custom command line
Kaluga Studios  [author] Oct 2, 2023 @ 9:46pm 
@GoT_Tyrion Currently no but there are tons of crevices. The ASA version will and it may take a second to get back to it's former glory but I can assure you that I will be doing my best to up the quality and add the things planned from the beginning. ASE's dev kit was just too limited to do much but that goes for UE4 as a whole as well. UE5 on the other hand handles it with ease.
GoT_Tyrion Oct 2, 2023 @ 8:51pm 
@Kaluga Studios thanks so much for the response! Does this map have a lot of caves? And for sure, love simple spawners. Think we will be trying this map- it looks like the best out there :)
Erigon Oct 2, 2023 @ 7:52pm 
i heard a rumor that the map wont be ready for asa launch, i hope this is just a rumor i was looking forward to opening ark planet on this map instead of the island.
Kaluga Studios  [author] Oct 2, 2023 @ 1:37am 
@GoT_Tyrion, I know base game dinos spawn, scorched earth ones spawn as well. I also believe in the very far West there are some Extinction spawns. It's really cold out that way. Thank you stopping by and I do recommend Simple Spawners if you want more to spawn but other than that, I believe they spawn. It seems to differ depending on the person for some reason. ASA's version will be more optimized, have better looking biomes, and the whole thing is getting a massive TLC.
GoT_Tyrion Sep 29, 2023 @ 1:22pm 
Heya, I read the description, read several of the discord channels- but couldn't find an answer. Loove big maps like this and want to try it, but I was curious if this current version has dinos from all dlcs like aberration and extinction. I saw several really pretty pictures but didn't see any caves. Appreciate all the work you've done and can't wait to see what you do when ASA comes out :)
Kaluga Studios  [author] Sep 27, 2023 @ 11:19pm 
@Valentine the Possum, It's not day one but it going to have a massive TLC due to the better tools in ASA. Terrain will be the same but there will be more resources, better looking biomes,and the spawns are gonna be so much better.
Willow The Wendigo Sep 27, 2023 @ 7:09pm 
AHHHHH! I can't wait to see this in ASA if this mod is day one it's going in my server RIGHT AWAY!!!
Kaluga Studios  [author] Sep 6, 2023 @ 8:26pm 
@Tearguard, Wildcard had nothing to do with it. The current dev kit can't handle the current version as well and I'm getting paid to work on it for ASA. I have a family to feed and a business to run. Why let myself be held back by a broken dev kit when I have access to the all new dev kit to make it into a better version? If you don't believe me, you can ask my community.
tearguard Sep 2, 2023 @ 6:24am 
I was waiting for this map and wanted to make a server with it but now? Another great looking map abandoned because of ASA... Thx wildcard for killing ARK. :(
Kaluga Studios  [author] Aug 24, 2023 @ 8:23pm 
@Sura, I believe so. No problemo
Sura Aug 24, 2023 @ 3:57pm 
Hello, I wanted to know if this map is compatible with the ark omega mod. Thank you
Kaluga Studios  [author] Aug 21, 2023 @ 3:49am 
But along with that, Im taking down the patreon for obvious reasons.
