is the manticore arena supposed to be just a couple of floating rocks? also obilisk dont work

he dont work any more on it

Any news on if this is still a work in progress or did it die like 90% of other maps?

is this map dead or are you planning on finishing it:)

Wow! Great work! The map looks amazing and the shaders are cool too!

I want to subscribe, but I dont know what this mod contains, the description was very vague, and there is no elaboration about creatures and items anywhere

@MorganP1 There are some collision issues with the terrain due to the scale of the map. I did not know that was going to be an issue with I designed the map, so, unfortunately, it is a "feature."

Don't no if this is a bug or not but as soon as I spawned in I got knocked to sleep and could not wake up. Is this a feature or a bug?

Any idea on the upcoming update release date?

<3 sick bro

@Plunders good idea. I will include that in the next update.

Would be cool if we had an .ini setting to remove the surface abber debuff (that way the map can be used by more)

@Popeye's Chicken Sandwich That is normal for a work in progress.

Is it normal for it to just be a barren wasteland that look like scorched earth with absolutely nothing, invisible water for me or did i miss something important?

@dreyn74 Ragnorak is 120+KM and Valguero is just over 80KM

@xav07theman Yes, it has the Aberration surface debuff, but it is eliminated once your character is in Tek Armor.

@Dragon Killer It is four times larger than The Island, but I do not know how large the other two maps are in comparison to The Island.

Size compared to Ragnorak and Valguero

does this have the aberration surface debuff?

Cant wiat to see this get finished!!. was a big fan of the ark moon survival total conversion when that came out and when it suddenly got taken down i was, like many others, sad. this reminds me of that. happy devlopment (or what ever you say)

@TheMasterofBlu Custom creatures and resources have not been added to the map yet.

could we get sme more info on this ? like spawn codes for the custom creatures , resources etc etc ....

@Killer080301 It does not have extinction events at this time.

has extinction events?

please make a map where your on pluto. that will be really epic if you did it. thanks for the epic map

Great idea! Can't wait for it to be finished!

I haven't had time to put the map back on -- if people are getting the base texture ok then it's a decent map to play on.

I still don't have ground texture, but just as I logged off last night I got a warning from the Exiles mod I'm playing on it... a feature not an error or anything... but I had to go into town! I hope my little shelter from the storms is ok when I get home :) It's a really frightening atmosphere in a wierd way, good job finding a combination of intents and materials and map to put an edge on things, the atmosphere pulls things into an emerging story of some sort... ayway, genius touch I think. If anyone knows if there's a way I can somehow symlink or whatever the main texture file, iI get this often, and I have all the DLCs. More figuring out & playing :) The photos above are ammmmmaaaaazing.

@==DoktorKaiser== I may not have added the configuration to turn that off yet. I will update that as in the next build, but you will have to make changes to your gameUserSettings.ini for your server, or single player game.
First, find the section titled

[/script/shootergame.shootergameusersettings]


Next, make a new section titled "[Mars Map]", add the following lines, save and restart your ARK game/server. It should appear like this:

[Mars Map]
Super Buff=0

Is there anyway to reduce the speed buff? I don't enjoy the fact I'm The Flash on Mars.

@NightStorm8 No ETA on a new map as of yet. I will post a link in these comments when the new map is ready.

aha ok. sounds good with new map with similar features. Have been looking for a map mod that had more of a buildup like this one. You have any upload date on the new map any time soon for testing and stuff. would really like to test it out:)

@NightStorm8 I have no major plans to updatae this map any time soon. I have designs for a much more interesting, and creative map which will have similar features to this map.
I may update this map here and there if people have suggestions.

How is this mod going. will you be updating it?

Downloading map again, had to reinstall ark & offload stuff to give it enough room to run well.

@Kira Poop much?

@TheGnarMain The map has dinos, but it does not have any harvestable resources. My plan was to make a couple of new structures for gathering resources from the ground(iron oxide) and atmosphere(water vapor), but these have been put on hold until more people can provide feedback from testing and report bugs with the map.

So... is this completely playable or what? I dont see any water, plants or animals on the pictures but apparently they are already included.

mars

@Tigg3r00 Not only is that partially true, there's nothing more boring than having to spawn in a transmitter to get your own resources when there could easily just be resources there. Also, is that english you're supposed to be speaking?

Compelling gameplay in ark can literally be anything, from pvp, to extreme pve with pugnacia, extinction and annunaki mods. Or a role-play server with eco mods and iso crystal isles map.
Or build something awesome, this map provides a chance to build an amazing space base with tek structures. TL;DR: Play the game and shut up or don't play it and still shut up.

I can't fucking transfer aAaaA

@GeoZzNL in real life you'd have to bring your resources with you anyway :)

I dunno what compelling gameplay is, most of ARK tends to be about killing each other or killing bigger and bigger things. Maybe the martian animals can be brought into the terran-friendly new biome after some rigamarole and after some breeding generations they don't need their spendy special food to live as a terran. I spose watchout to the terran who doesn't keep themselves in shape enough to keep going outside if they don't want to spend eternity in their little garden on mars. :) Or you could run the Star Wreck mod & call it a desert planet.

I wasn't able to get the textures for water or the main texture to show up even after playing Scorched Earth. At least the sky isn't black! The map is too big for what it does, it takes a long time to get anywhere (I have the same complaint with Alluvion, but it takes even longer to get anywhere. I couldn't see resources anywhere either, but could live on hunting to play the map. The yellow water stuff might make good mortar, or maybe meat and stone makes good walls. :) What if you had an area that coule be turrned into a happy fun biome under a dome or in a land depression of some sort if the player figured out this could be done and how to from clues somehow? Or maybe the tech works on hallucinations and changing the player into a human with martian metabolism with all the gathering elements and stuff it has them do, maybe as a gift to anyone who ends up there someday.

This looks amazing cannot wait to try!

@Tigg3r00 I agree that there needs to be some more motive to explore and investigate the landscape. That is one of the reasons that I have paused development on this. Until I can come up with compelling gameplay for this map, it is not very fun to play.

This was fascinatingly wierd and different but not super motivating, probably because I don't get into tek much. The animal colors were gorgeous though, I love that firey color combo.

I''m going to try that combo in SP, I've been wanting to check out this map for ages. :)

this with the ark futurism mod would make for a dope combo

but there are no resources.So i think about it.. Map looks cool, but resources are needed
