I found a ability with the owls, when one has been frozen by the other, immediately after the thaw a timer in the top right of the screen starts. If you then jump on the thawed owl and start healing, it lasts for ages. I can heal rexs for 9000 per single heal. Useful tip for healing mounts.

For the savage acro, as far as I know it has a damage cap, so brachios are actually best to just tank damage due to their health and not damage (although they still do good damage with regular attacks).

[@Chernobylican]

Yes, Savage acro has a damage cap of 2500. So you wouyldnt want to do more than 2500 per attack and instead would want to attack fast. Brachis wouldnt be very good as they attack too slowly. From personal experience, a lightning wyvern army with high health pools are very good at dealing damage (if you get the lightning breath to do a lot of damage per tic) but since they cannot have a saddle, its best to run away when the savage acro is enraged which is easier than it seems since the savage acro's roar only shoots in a straight line.

[@emperorofrome3582]

The savage acro has a maximum damage taken per attack of 2.5k so if an attack deals more than that, it will only do 2.5k.

[@alpha7even913]

which is very silly, it literally makes brachiosaurus unviable to fight the acro boss. not to mention the acro boss one shots any brachi regardless how much health it has, because it's roar attack does over 100,000 damage.

[@erwerewolf]

So dinos have been placed taxonomically in a grouping of reptiles. Specifically the "avian" reptiles or at thebvery least as a part ofbthe "archeosaurs." Its been largely accepted that many dinosaur carnivores likely had feathers. However, whether or not the plant eaters did isnt super certain. We DO know the had four chambered hearts and their size may at the very least have kept their body temperatures more constant. This MIGHT have made feathers useful as it would keep them at least some between hot and cold blooded. It really just depends if feathers evolved super early in dinosaur evolution BEFORE certain dinosaur evolutions occured or after. So...would they have fur? No. Feathers? Maybe? Safe bet on the most bird like dinos.

[@xaviersmith1388]

All dinosaurs have a shared feathered ancestor. We know that most ceratopsians had feathers. It's possible other herbivores did as well.

I fell in love with the brachi when I found ARK Addition years ago, I just loved having them in the world and walking near them. They just gave me an awesome feeling. Kinda like seeing the brachi in Jurassic Park for the first time as a kid back in the 90's. They are fun to use and are great for leveling up or at least they used to be, haven't got to play with them in a long time as my friends pretty much never let me have ARK Additions on because they are trying to keep mod count low, but we have room to useless deco mods......at least ARK Additions adds in useful things that add flavor and change stuff up a bit.

[@th3gr1zzlyk1ng8]

To answer your question with the acro, the brachis can work and they will do quite a decent amount to the savage acro, though they are not the most efficient option for that fight and you'll lose a lot of them during the fight What I mean by losing them is that it will be nearly impossible to get them out and away from the savage's dangerous attacks

[@n01z3]

the animation and sound of this mod still blow my mind, the brachi actually feels like it has weight in the world and the sound on that stomp is insane,

[@rylandfrederick431]

The wool on it is just dino fuzz, not picnofibers, cause brachis were related to the theropods it would have been a downy feather, picnofibers (pteras, and early pterasouromorphs) were evolved *separately. *We don't know if picnofibers were evolved separately or if reptiles already had the genes for them, my guess was that it was convergent evolution.

[@owenjongekrijg4294]

19:00 was running around pvp watching this scared the crap out of me

[@Maxine71365]

the fur is probably more like protofeathers, it made dinos that lived in the colder zones much more resistant to cold temperatures.T-rex had some protofeathers, newborns are covered in them but as they grow up they lose them, as they adapt to their environment.But the biggest feathered dinosaur was Yutyrannus, which yea, ark devs made him bigger and stronger lol.

Actually this kind of thing, being in two foot was an real attack IRL, and it was really Giga killers. IRL Gigas aren't that much bigger than an Rex, they are actually weaker because they're lighter, Rex'es was an brute dinossaur but slow, Gigas in fact are much faster. Well knowing this, the sauropod family (brontos, brachis, titanosaur etc) was the real killers of everything, just like an blue whale, nobody can with them.

[@cameronjameson2878]

Hey syn. I see you always trying to get good saddles. Since you're modding try the "upgrade station" mod. It's fantastic and pretty well balanced imo. You can throw many things, like saddles, in the stations inventory and if you have the appropriate mats you can upgrade the item to the next tier. Some of that stuff gets SUPER mat expensive but at least you have a way of getting an ascendant saddle if you're willing to farm the mats. Try it out, I never play without it or the "shiny dinos" mod, they're basically a must have for any of my Ark experiences.

[@Damnit_Aru]

Of course the Irish man loves Beard

[@alienstar2088]

Though reptiles such as Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs did not have fur, in the traditional sense, they did have pycnofibers that looked very similar and probably were used for the same purpose. We believe that they were very apparent on young theropods such as Tyrannosaurus Rex who would lose them as they grew older. However, most Pterosaurs have and kept their fur-like feathers their entire lives. Despite this there is speculation to certain Ceratopsians having pycnofibers as well; like Pachyrhinosaurus along with other Dinosaurs that lived in cooler climates although, there is no scientific evidence to support this, it is simply a speculated development.

[@Soundwave2303]

We know dinosaurs and pterosaurs could grow feathers that looked like fur, and it is possible more reptiles related to them could have had them! Also, STEM mammals are technically still reptiles and they might have had fur too, but those reptiles are very different from dinosaurs

Syntac should do a showcase on all the creatures that he's crazily mutated so far in this series, that would be pretty cool

[@toxictoxophilite]

dinos had a wider range of feather types than survived on todays birds. they absolutely had filament types that looked like fur but were types of feathers. check out emu feathers, that would be a pretty close example. i'm pretty sure sauropods didnt have feathers because of their size regardless of how feathered their ancestors may have been, but it was definitely possible.

If you dont beleve me, try the "bugged one" (the one that had its levels go from 180 or whatever it was, to 1) to see how far you can take it's health down before you die (or give up).
