Greetings Survivors!

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch! This week we have a reminder about Conquest Season 4 and the addition of 3 more maps this Sunday.

We are also announcing new additions to the Sponsored Mod program, and wrapping up with some of our favourite stories, videos, fan art, and screenshots from the ARK community in Community Corner.

Don’t forget to slap on a hat, slop on some sunscreen, and wrap yourself in some sweet summer shades, because we have an ongoing Summer EVO Event live right now!

On Sunday at 10am Pacific, Conquest will introduce new maps to its currently active season.

Map Rollout Plan:

• 6/26/22 – The Island, Scorched Earth, The Center *COMPLETED*
• 7/10/22 – Ragnarok, Aberration, Valguero *THIS SUNDAY*
• 7/24/22 – Lost Island, Crystal Isles

Find more information about Conquest Season 4 here, and be sure to stop by the Conquest Discord to directly contact the Conquest enforcement team.

If you are looking to change up the game why not check out some new mods.

The ARK Sponsored Mod program is currently accepting applications until August 5th. Please submit your projects here.

Gimilkhad is back with more for everyone that loves to build. This collection includes additional types of structure pieces that match vanilla style and others to allow for entirely new constructions. You also find QoL changes for snap points and building tools, including efforts to improve snapping between different mods!

Looking for some more structures variation for your RP server? You will find new types of crops, structures, light sources, tools, and even an economic system built right into R.P. EDDitions. With a revamped tame storage system, new revival system, and plenty of plans for the future you should find some refreshing gameplay with this mod.

I remember joining a friend’s server for the first time, they had dragon mods and a cool map to look at so they invited me to check it out.  I spawned in and immediately got harassed by a pegomastix as I was trying to gather resources… I punched this pego in the face and it had tamed instantly! I stood there shocked at what had just happened while my friends were laughing so hard about it all… To this day we all laugh about it still! Funny thing is… Not long after.. I did it again! Who knew punching in the face would give you a friend or two

so im level 50 right, so I was exploring around my base with my ptera and found a male 145 rex terrorizing the local herbivores around 300-500 meters away from my base, so i was worried that if it continues it would stumble its way to my base so I took 2 cross bows and 130 tranq arrows and set out to tame the mf before it shits on me and my base or at least lead it farther away

well I was prepared to die, but uhhhh turns out the rex fell unconsious and Im taming it up rn

now wth am I supposed to do with this thing, I cant even ride it till level 72
