Olympus

On the morning of January 7th our second son was born! It's been about a week since we brought him home and I'm happy to say that both he and his mom are doing well :) His big brother is very proud and has been a huge help looking out for his little bro :)

I'll be taking some time through January and February to spend with family and will be focusing on my work with Team Dragonpunk on Tir Na Nog after the break. Major updates for Olympus will be quarterly, but packed with plenty of new content. I'll be working to complete the goals listed in "A little farther out", fixing bugs as they appear, and adding Genesis and any other new content as soon as available.

You've all been amazing and a huge part of making Olympus what it is today! Thank you all for your support and looking forward to an awesome new year in 2020! :)

• Reverted global change that was done to resolve instances of insta death in some caves due to a larger secondary issue that was caused as a side effect. Have instead taken a more targeted approach to the caves where it was reported and will do the same to any others found in the future.
  
• Lighting overhaul of the recently added ice cave.

Update 4.41
• Fix for sky barrier issue. I replaced the blocking volume that kept having different problems with a one sided static mesh that will safely block players and mounts while letting custom supply drops that may spawn above it through.
  
• Applied a global fix to counter insta deaths happening in certain sections of caves due to a base game change to the handling of undermesh checks.
  
• Fixed a bug that was causing deino spawners to produce regular raptor variants, Deinos are now officially on the map! :)
  
• Fix for missing collision on obelisks used as landscape features and improved collision on meshes used in the western ice pack for better navigation.
  
• Adjustments made to Centurion including fix for the bug that could spawn multiple at one time and reduced experience gain to 1/6 of what it was. Will continue to tweak as needed for better balance.
  
• Fixed some instances of cave shadows appearing through the landscape.
Update 4.4
• New artifact cave beneath the western snow biome housing the Artifact of the Cunning!
  
• Several modifications to the western ice pack including a new path by sea around that side of the map!
  
• Fixes for several reported bugs including terrain issues, missing collision, sky barrier blocking, floating foliage , etc.
  
• Added new foliage types for more regional diversity, including a new sunflower field and flowering knapweed variant for the central plains with more to come.
  
• Vanilla Manticore boss added with remaining artifacts.

• Ocean Aesthetic Pass with a focus on making undersea areas more unique and varied, as well as the addition of larger underwater tunnels with some connecting to inland bodies of water.
  
• New trees, foliage, and environment assets.
  
• More Ruins and Temples
  
• Unique Sub Bosses
  
• More Caves, Big and Small
  
• Custom Boss Arenas
  
• Remaining Dossiers
  
• Custom Explorer notes
  
• Ascension
  more to come :)

Welcome to Olympus, once home to the mighty gods of old. It has been many years since they ruled over this world, and time has not been kind. Explore the wilds of this once great civilization, discover its secrets, and see if you have what it takes to ascend and stand as equals with those who came before!

Olympus is designed to be a more scifi feeling ARK. Due to years of neglect, several areas of once hidden advanced technology are visible and some has even taken on a life of its own. I wanted to try and create a blend of nature and machine to make a unique and different experience.

The map is roughly 1.4 times the size of the island and the landscape itself was completely hand sculpted. Olympus uses a combination of vanilla and custom spawns, so most dino mods will be compatible. I look forward to working together with the community to make this the best map it can be :) All feedback on possible issues and suggestions are appreciated.

• Surface - 94%
  
• Underwater - 75%
  
• Underground - 65%
  
• Endgame custom boss arenas will be added after their necessary artifact caves. Island boss arenas are a temporary place holder.
  
• Overall - ~85% (Of what I'd like to add, currently 100% playable)
