Using Wagons in ARK Survival Ascended

Wagons are a new feature with Bob's Tall Tales for Scorched Earth in ARK Survival Ascended. Using them couldn't be simpler, and there's a surprisingly high number of wagon hauling creatures available.

To explain the wagon physics: the ropes are actually titanium alloy disguised as rope

[@BohrokKiller]

Can't wait to remake the Skyrim opening with this!

Iguanadon cart goes hard

[@thomasdevlin5825]

I'm not sure how useful this is in the long run, but this actually sounds extremely useful in the early game. Most dinos with platform saddles are both mid game and extremely slow, so being able to put a small platform saddle on the back of any medium dino is going to make exploring the map so much easier when you don't have good fliers yet. This and the shovel are the two features I'm most excited for so far

[@Dudeamis17]

imagine it on a no flyer rp server

[@mcdiscret9632]

Not to mention if you "cheat" and bring a therizino into scorched earth. That'd be the ideal mobile base imo as the theri doesn't agro much, is fairly fast, a good gatherer, and has a decent weight. A thyla could be interesting too if they can pull a cart.

[@stephenstonge7968]

Thanks for explaining that walls snap to the cart. Putting foundations turns it into a short circuiting lowrider ... the thing repeatedly leaps up.

Well imagine with an Argen grabbing a carted horse, you could literally do a parachuted army in clan wars 😂😂😂

[@bobbyjohnbunn]

Can you look into the interaction with tek troughs? Theres an option to disable automatic collection from carts, or something along those lines

Tranqs a noob, puts him on cart, have someone drive it, wait for noob to wake up, turn on proximity voice chat, "Hey you, you're finally awake!"

The Scorpion has a cart slot, I don’t have the dlc so I can’t find out if it works.

[@eternal7912]

I wasn't planning on buying this DLC, but a wagon is actually tempting. I find travelling by land is quite immersive in SE, and being able to put a wagon on my mount would make it even more so.

[@zachfreedom644]

wagons are really useful i have one on an anky and have the furnaces on it so i can smelt most of the metal before i get back to base

[@eternal7912]

@@zachfreedom644 That's amazing.

[@JH-fd9xt]

I did for the trains.

[@Cuttyhunker-ei7mt]

Thanks, I would have likes to hear some info about how you put stuff in the wagon. How much can it hold? Do you just stack one full of crates?

[@sportfuryman]

thylo cart is amazing. Ive got a mortor and pestil a spark powder fridge a bed and a fireplace in mine. Perfect for exploration. I did another cart with my anky that one containing a fabricator and a mortor and pestil turning it into a mobile poly factory which can be moved by Argentavis.....looks goofy and can glitchy but god damn is it effective

[@The27Hntrs]

Is it possible to control the cart while sitting on it though? Instead of ridding the creature it’s attached to?

[@bacd-nn2lg]

This could usefull for PVP.

[@npizzawecrust513]

The wagon is so good

[@myself8354]

A word of warning to everyone. Do NOT place thin beams along the bottom of the cart. If you do then you won't be able to remove them and thus the cart will be permenately attached to your dino until it's death.

[@BlueFireDrakka]

swap the beams to thick beams and place on top of them it'll swap them out if its a different type

[@myself8354]

@BlueFireDrakka I honestly didn't think to try that. That's a good work around until they fix the hitbox with the cart. Among several other issues it has. Thanks for the reply.

[@tonyparker9568]

If you hold left Alt while on a tame, you can change your FOV. May help with wagon clipping

[@gosubbougaming]

Bro thank you the FOV was starting to get on my nerves until I saw your tip 😂

Can a water storage device and a crop plot go on the cart into a boss battle? Plant species x for air defense against the dragon?

A thulacoleo can climb walls with a wagon

[@SK-ij6ng]

hold on, they didn't give wagon to morallotops??

[@thatwaffleguy4958]

Right?! Well it is possible since other dinos have it, so maybe there will be a new larger wagon variant added later?

[@TravisTheSavage]

I was hoping for the ability like last oasis where you pack and unpack a base

[@wolfy3958]

Are they broken the walls are not placing straight up

[@andrewkrzan1096]

No matter what's on the cart it's like -600 heat resist automatically just being in a house built on the cart. So it's not useful to get out of the heat. Actually completely the opposite. Even with air conditioners

[@Raven777777777777777]

Wagons need improvement atleast with turning animation and physics. Would be nice to improve snap points on it too and having another way to reduce weight on the wagon since a lot of the creatures that can get a wagon dont have very high weight stats but so far its pretty good addition to Ark.

[@carnagegaming9104]

Yes but can you put a manual mini-gun turret on it?

[@freynlives]

Yes you can :) No auto-turrets though.

[@carnagegaming9104]

@@freynlives Don’t need auto turrets just a tribe mate

[@seanlarabee6300]

@@freynlives Interesting. We haven't swapped our server yet so still Island, but have the pack. We brought a horse with an auto turret and a heavy turret into the Brood fight. Surprised as heck the game allowed it. Currently have a tribemate seeing how many turrets she can pack on a single armored cart.

[@pistonforge]

how do you change the cosmetic of the wall/plank?

[@freynlives]

You need to craft the Frontier skins, then place them (they'll be in your cosmetics tab) over the regular structures.

[@phoenixblackthorn365]

im afraid to test it bc i built on my cart but what happens if you build on it then remove the cart

[@freynlives]

As far as I'm aware, you can't remove the cart without taking the structures off first. Not 100% sure, but it's what I've been told and all other platforms work that way

[@Alberta1stPodcast]

The wagon should prevent picking tbh like a portable base/trade station

[@itstheraven]

Can someone else who didnt buy the Bob dlc use it if i make the cart?

[@SK-ij6ng]

bro the worst thing is u can climb wall with thyla while the cart is attached to it smh

[@mcdiscret9632]

Hahaha I would love to make a wagon designed for use while hanging off a wall on a thyla. Not sure how you'd do it but it'd be neat

[@freynlives]

Haha I saw a picture of that a few hours after I posted the vid, it looks absurd :D

[@kingenderdragon99123]

Can it work on the thorny dragon?

Nope :( Honestly surprisingly few Scorched creatures can use it, I figured the Thorny and Morellatops would be the most likely candidates

So if your gonna show us what you can build on a wagon can you at least check the important stuff like can you put a veto fridge on it or turrets?

Good feedback, ty, I'll try keep it in mind if/when I look at trains/Oasisaur To answer them for you: - Auto Turrets: No - Ballista/Catapult/Rocket/Minigun Turrets: Yes - Cryofridge: No - Refridgerator: Yes - Generator: Yes - Teleporters: No

What happens when you cryo the dinosaurs

[@freynlives]

If I recall, you cannot cryo them while they're towing a wagon.

[@panzer00]

So Bob's Tall Tales is a paid dlc? I can't believe I actually thought Wildcard would add cool new things to Scorched Earth. Of course it's paid dlc for a game we played to death for 8 years...

This thing is completely non-function on official servers. Can't step on it because I glitch into it. Can't access inventory of things placed on it. Can't even remove it from the creature that I placed it on. Great job Wildcard. What a joke.

[@jerod4764]

Also, thanks to this change, none of our medium dinos can even ride a raft anymore. These devs suck.

[@Hawkcam1996]

Doesn’t really seem worth it if you can’t drive the wagon instead of riding the creature pulling it. It’s more for decoration than anything else.

[@gustavheinrich5565]

Keeping track of 2 vector3s isn' going to stress out any server. A wagon is not more expensive than a second dino. Keep making excuses for lazy cash grabs, and that's all you'll ever get.

[@sabagecabage7828]

If the wheels turned the servers would suffer. Let alone adding full physics. And you don't need full physics anyways arks not that kinda game. You are complaining about something a normal ark player would easily overlook

[@staubinmichael637]

😂😂😂 well my friend we dont care after 7k hour on this game if you dont want to pay for thing why you play video game it not free

[@ljdrawss]

I'm confused

[@soliitudegaming7275]

Its not a physics issue. The problem is the wagons are not real wagons. They are just extensions to the creature. So when you "drive your wagon" you are just driving the horse and the wagon is basically a static mesh added to the back of the horse. Its all fake. Quite a lazy implementation really. For a paid DLC, I expected better. Wildcard is being immensely lazy and its not excused by "reducing stress". Thats just not the reason. Its because they didnt want to invest in a proper vehicle system.

[@freynlives]

Oh I agree for sure, just extending behind the creature is definitely lazy. Any reduction in server calculations is helpful which is why I suggested stress, especially if there was a lot of them around, but I'd rather it was done properly with say a .ini option to use 'simple carts' to help, in a same way the harvesting clamps exist to help reduce lag on populated servers.
