[@dinosour2140]

srsly one of my favorite mods in existence, shame ASA can't run on a less than $10,000 PC

[@SKBD_ryan_toi]

Ps5 runs perfectly tbh

[@Sireoptera]

Spent less than 2k on mine with my tax return and ASA runs just fine on mine.

[@BlazingInferno00]

​@@SKBD_ryan_toiperfectly is a bit strong but it does run well if u stay away from cryopod mods. And unfortunately the prefabricated structure mods just cause too much lag to use

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

@@BlazingInferno00 That and the fact that PS5 constantly gives us issues that makes us have to disable features while we figure it out. While Xbox and PC have no issue. 🤷

[@wilberator9608]

Ichthyotitan severnensis (recently discovered giant ichthyosaur) would be a great addition

[@valkymeow]

Nisis op 😄

[@Sireoptera]

For real!

[@xelz5975]

I love it! nice work !!! 💪

[@legendarygrimlock4471]

Fantastic

[@crazlady8648]

Looks epic!!

[@PVE_GUY]

I love the sunken world mods, i just hope you bring back the map to asa

[@DracoJ]

They will. But its a ways down the line.

[@TheBeans92]

What map is it

[@DracoJ]

@TheBeans92 the sunken world. Is a map. It was an incomplete mod map in ASE. It's an ocean based map with unique subnautica and Atlantis inspired biomes. Aimed at being the ultimate ocean tlc for Ark. Including map specific mini tlcs in the form of sunken variants for vanilla critters. And a roster of dam near 40+ unique creatures including bosses. They are bringing that to ASA and halting ASE's further development. But they are waiting for ASA to stabilize. (Basically waiting for more DLC content to be added and major updates to stop) before making their colossal map. So to keep us entertained and to something useful with their time waiting TSW additions is a side mod that adds the creatures, resources, and items of the sunken world to every ark. This is also useful as it allows them to enable transfers when they make the map. I can only gush over the mod so much. So you can see to the "Ark: the sunken world" discord for very detailed information on everything. All the creatures, items, resources, hazards, mechanics, biomes, and otherwise.

[@TheBeans92]

@@DracoJ I been hoping for a map with a bigger better ocean then the center. I do prefer vanilla stuff though. Personally. Wish there was an option for just the map. It looks so cool.

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

@@TheBeans92 The map will be separate from the creature mod. Though there will be a lot lacking without the creature mod, you can technically play without it. When it comes out that is.

[@YoMMontop]

Gonna be fire on scorched 🔥🔥

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

More like on fire on scorched 😂 But Proto and Bothri do actually spawn on Scorched haha.

[@Shad0w_0030]

Nicely made

[@hotwings18]

This would be soo cool if it wasn't for asa

[@mtnmanlife]

dope

[@dotalbo8279]

Im impatiently waiting for the map release lol. (Pls dont make it premium, tho if u do i’ll still buy it 🙏)

[@martingracia233]

[@Tvmanwithnocontext]

That's enough. I download that s**t ASAP

[@allosaurusmagnum9106]

Sea urchins

[@johnathonhuss0907]

Is there a list somewhere of all the dinos/creatures?

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

You can find lists on the curseforge pages of the mod and in our discord :)

[@yourworstnightm4re999]

Do all of these creatures have spawns on the center?

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

They should do! However we do know edestus specifically can be rare on that map

[@Fin_243]

Is there a spawn command for the magma Edestus bc I can’t find it

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

The codename is EdestusTSW, should be on our spawn codes page here though legacy.curseforge.com/ark-survival-ascended/mods/the-sunken-world-additions/pages/spawn-codes

@@ArkTheSunkenWorld Ty so much!

[@JoshuaDunlopConceptArtist]

Is this cross-platform too? Do all these updates apply on the PS5?

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

Yes it is and all updates are released to all platforms at the simultaneously. 👍

[@JoshuaDunlopConceptArtist]

@@ArkTheSunkenWorld Nice Thank you 😊 Wish AsA would give us more mod download room, theres so many good mods these days

[@TravisTheSavage]

This is on official

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

Is this a question or a statement?

[@lordcrusheryt]

is it bad im spending my time mutating a bunch of protos to make the perfect proto

[@zrakonthekrakon494]

I’ve spent 1400 hours on ark, it’s temporary bliss, the fleeting satisfaction that leaves you feeling spent, like you should’ve aimed for something better in life

[@lordcrusheryt]

@@zrakonthekrakon494 i am nearing the end of my protoceratops mutating i only need a weight mutation for the perfect proto

[@lordcrusheryt]

@@zrakonthekrakon494 just now while mutating my protos, i got a color region that literally doesn’t exist on the dino. what is happening

[@zrakonthekrakon494]

@@lordcrusheryt what are they good for, I have not seen one yet

[@lordcrusheryt]

@@zrakonthekrakon494 they collect special types of fruit from trees and overall serve as a great early game tame, the real reason im mutating them is for practice because im not very experienced with it. Should i keep going till 20 mutations in both sides or should i leave it at one mutation in every stat?

0:19 what Dino is that?

[@ArkTheSunkenWorld]

The Lava shark? That's Edestus.
