Ark: Survival Evolved

Game

So having been stranded naked and freezing on the island of Ark you must survive. In order to help yourself survive it would be ideal to construct a base containing a fire and some (or lots) of weapons in an area of your choosing.

Once you have your new home your hobbies should include taming and feeding dinosaurs. Implicit in this is the obtaining of further resources. Nothing is free. Resources

You will be required to obtain components. For base building these will be structure components: doors, windows and floors. These components are rewarded to you for gaining levels. These components can then be crafted and placed in the world and players can create any building or device as long as they have the resources and logistics.

Items

You may also craft many items, including weapons. Items can be accessed/crafted by collecting the required technology and resources needed for crafting the particular item. You are also able to craft new attachments for your weapons should you require something a little extra. Maybe a flashlight or a scope.

Health

Health regenerates over time with food but can be encouraged to regenerate faster having crafted the correct item for health use.

Dinosaurs

There are 60 types of dino within the game. The dinos, after being initially rendered unconscious, can then be tamed afterwards by feeding them food. Dinos can also be tamed by using specifically typed kibble made especially for each species of dinosaur. As soon as you have tamed your dino and after mounting you will have access to the dinos abilities, including flight, fast movement and its base statistics, i.e. health , damage and speed. When accessing these abilities you will lose control of your weapons but any passengers, whilst riding the larger dinos, will have full access to their equipped arsenal. Dinos can also be used to carry items and can also be assigned orders. They will defend a base if you wish them to or attack another’s base should the mood take you. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go straight to being abandoned naked and freezing on a completely inhospitable island.
