Mod ID = 2281651380

Survive the elements... Evade predators and other players... Ransack crash sites, explorer note sites & dead dinos... Escape at the extract before the time runs out...

Mod Description:

This mod requires first load order and is suggested to only be installed on a fresh server

Dino, weapon and armor mods should work fine with this mod but items will only show up in loot tables and buy menu if they have unlockable engrams. ANY item in your inventory can be sold unless explicitly removed like skins.

EXTREMELY fun in Multiplayer PvE , PvP & SinglePlayer!

This mod allows you to face the challenges of surviving on the ARK in a new, exciting and extremely punishing way! You start out in a communal safe area with various traders and crafting devices at your disposal, select your gear then take a ride on a MV-22 Osprey into the badlands of the Ark in search of whatever your heart desires... Explore the map to find signs of previous inhabitants and find things they left behind... Look for helicopter crash sites and destroyed APC's to obtain high end military gear... Hunt & kill dinos to find undigested items from prey, or try to tame the big ones to sell for mega bucks... Delve deep into the caves to retrieve valuable artifacts... Collect resources to sell or use for crafting after you extract... Hunt down other players like a true Chad and take their hard earned loot!... Do whatever you want, but whatever you do, make it to the extract on time or lose your gear!

[h1]New Features![/h1][list] [*]There are now 3 queues, Easy, Medium & Hard which determine your insertion area [*]Easy = Red Obelisk area [*]Medium = Green Obelisk area [*]Hard = Blue Obelisk area - Dress accordingly [*]You can extract at ANY Obelisk EXCEPT the one you spawned near but only after x time has passed [*]Extracting occurs automatically now, step onto the metal platform to initiate extraction. Takes 10 seconds[/list]
