ARK News

Primarily from the world of ARK Survival Evolved and occasionally from the new but incomplete ARK Survival Ascended version!

 

Genesis 1 - Missions for boss battles have been reduced.

The number of required missions for the "Corrupted Master Controller" has been reduced by almost 50%. This is intended to make it easier for solo players to complete the missions independently on Genesis, start the boss fight, and earn a TEK Hover Skiff.

For this to work, the mod "Configurable Boss Arena + Genesis" must be installed (required only on Genesis 1 and later Genesis 2):

New map "The Volcano"

The mod map "The Volcano" in ARK Survival Evolved offers a diverse and fully playable world that is comparable in size to the standard map. The map is divided into five different biomes: snow, desert, redwood, swamp, and jungle/grassland. All dinosaurs from the expansions Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis 1 are available, as well as the corresponding resources, which are distributed across several locations. 

The map was added to the cluster today as an additional rotation map.

Sole fish for raiding on Extinction

On Extinction near the green obelisk, the player SchaunMaMal has placed his little stone hut. Decorated with a few turrets and plants, everyone is warmly invited to take it down! The hut is supposed to have some starter gear and tames as loot. Happy hunting!

Terra Nova

Terra Nova is a US science fiction series produced by 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks Television, among others with Steven Spielberg as executive producer. It aired in 2011 on Fox and is set in the year 2149, in a world threatened by overpopulation and environmental destruction. Scientists discover an anomaly that allows travel 85 million years into the past to establish a new civilization, Terra Nova.

Caballus - New Rotation Map

Caballus is a world born from heat. Formed from lava, cooled and solidified in the wild sea. The largest of the Caballus islands. The still intact volcano has, over millennia, created a multifaceted world with a wide variety of biomes, resources, and life forms. This piece of land did not remain uninhabited for long. Ancient nomads first reached the coast of neighboring islands until they discovered the wealth of resources on Caballus. The various nations were all horse-riding peoples: numerous, strong, and experienced in war; always aiming for prosperity and progress.

Server relocation (IP address)

As announced on Discord, the server move is taking place today, THU 08.08.2024 (throughout the day). Only the IP address has changed, so if you have saved links to the server, you need to update them. Server name, ports, etc. remain the same.

New server for cluster

This week I purchased a new and faster server, which also provides enough reserves for the future (the current one would currently be completely sufficient as well). I plan to completely migrate our cluster by mid-August. All game saves will be transferred 1:1, and there will likely be a disruption for about half a day in early August.

ARK Event-Colors on BUKANIER.org, now!

On our BUKANIER.org cluster, the popular colors from the ARK events are now regularly available. On the regular PVP maps, these colors are activated for 2 weeks during the corresponding holidays. On the daily rotating maps (Rotation Maps), there is a 30% chance that an event will be activated for 24 hours.
