Tried that.. it sadly dont work for some reason.. shall i just extract all of the folders into the Steam Library\steamapps\common\ARK ? .. when i try to open it it launches google drive and folders which i dont own and i dont want to extract into. and when i suggested an "all blood off option" ppl just laughed at me

Question to the extracting mathing

[Lupen202]

Like I said I haven't tried it myself so I don't know if it works, :S but what I understood from the post you're supposed to just extract all the files from that google drive into the main Ark folder, which looks like this for me;

[Ana]

Heh yeah thats what i tried... going to fumble around with it but not getting my hopes up heh... Thanks lupen!

[Lupen202]

Sorry, wish I could be more useful lol

[Ana]

you do your best and i appricate your input. i figured it out .. you need to put the files in the LAST folder into the same named folder in your ark .. but WITH the mod it still look like this GORE WARNING incoming - the splash effect is gone but the blood is still there.. Every chop adds a blood pattern.. which again on the larger animals is quite... disturbing.. this was only as big as a trike..









I know i might sound terrible squeamish but it mattes to me

[Lupen202]

There should be an option to disable blood overlay too somewhere in settings? Though be warned that while you dislike it it does tell you the health of your dino - easy to tell how close something is to dying by how bloody it is.

I don't know if it applies to the blood in your SS though. but hopefully just the splatter being gone helps a bit

[Ana]

The screenies is with the blood overlay off sadly.. its still way too much for my liking.. i think i try respond to the thread with the mod.. maybe the user can make one for ppl like me

[Lupen202]

Hm yeah :/ I don't mind blood but more options never hurt anyone

[Ana]

If nothing else help i just might find another game to try.. it really mattes to me when it comes to stuff like that.. more examples of a trike.. tumbnails this time..tried to screen the whole process of chopping it up.. very disturbing so now i need to go rest my head.. too much blood for me

[Lupen202]

Only thing I could suggest is maybe just don't harvest dinosaurs with tools, instead tame something like a raptor, rex, spino etc. and get your meat/hide that way. Once you get enough dinos, you have one for pretty much every job... And when you're on the back of a rex or other dinosaur the bloods a lot less in your face. Not to mention they are more efficient anyways at getting more of the material, and have more carry weight. I can't remember myself hand harvesting much at all.

At least keep axe/pick harvesting to a minimum; axe would just be a last resort if you find yourself without a dino.

[Ana]

Heh maybe.. but you still fight the ones who aggro on you... And so far my dinos do way way less dps than med... But thanks lupen means alot to just be listent til

Wait, have you been trying to disable the general blood option? I don't think there's currently a way to get rid of it entirely, but you CAN disable Blood Damage Overlay in the options. I believe this will general disable the bloodied look when you're attacking creature. Since how bloody the creature is, is a indication of their health. Again, I don't think there's any way to get rid of it all together without possibly crossing into mod territory.

[Ana]

Yup all the screenies iswith the blood damange overlay off and with a mod who takes away the splatter...

In the five whole minutes I spent on my computer yesterday I noticed that Ark is launching dino-less servers. Maybe try that? Or as Lupen said just don't harvest them.

[Ana]

Its not dino less servers.. its not being able to tame Them but i am working with someone now to come up with a mod

[zedxrgal]

I completely realized I forgot to post these the other day.



Poor Bella. Before she was "Bella". All knocked out.


I'm not even sure how I am able to carry a bird if this size.

[Ana]

This game is REALLY pretty !

I got myself a beaver and Barynox. I really want a moose but after one tranq arrow they just shoot off like no tomorrow!





I got my Ptera bird killed today (stupid terror bird and T-Rex) so need another flyer

[Lupen202]

Once you get an argentavis taming some of the smaller dinos get really easy; can just build a pen out of window walls, pick them up with your argent (like the moose for example) and drop them in, then shoot them through the windows.

[Ana]

Ohhh i am going to get me one of those -any specific place where they are? I have tried the map in the gamepedia for other species but no luck !! I also been trying to find a Ankylosaurus.. but nowhere on the map where they should be very common did i see them...
