Tech tier discussion and mods

Hi all.

Firstly I would like to see if anyone on any of the servers has beat any of the bosses and gathered some element?

If so have any of these tribes gathered enough yet to build anything tech at all yet?

I am assuming that no one has at this point in time so I would like to suggest a mod!!!???

It seems pretty balanced to me. This way we would at least get to see some of the stuff in action without giving up every minute of our lives to grind Ark. One also needs to collect black pearls and the all the artifacts so it isn't exactly easy as making flak armor.

What do you all think?

I disagree with this completely, this game is about the grind. Tek is supposed to be a reward for putting in the time and effort. If people want to play with Tek Tier without doing the grind to get it they should go play on solo player.

TekTier is an end game reward, i dont see the benefit for all players if i include this mod, kinda skews a few things.
Like the spoiler and S+, i would only implement something with low download size and accessible to all players.

I do plan to setup some mess around servers (limited rules), passive and PvE servers once i get more storage.
yes, some will even be linked.

Odd request but any chance for the reusables? AKA reusable grappling hook, parachute and Bola? I believe all are small download.

Tek tier is achievable, on the island both myself and atleast one other tribe have managed to get it.

Anyone know if Ark has a timeline for when it's all coming to the center?

Bringing up an old topic, because this intrigued me.

I was actually using the TekBench mod on my server, which I found was quite balanced - just upped the price of the TekBench itself to match that of the Replicator, and made the level requirement 100. It was really good and got a lot of positive feedback.
As for the S+ stuff, I just made its lvl requirements 100 to learn the engrams, and removed the previous engram requirement.

Maybe something to look into, as it makes it accessible to anyone that tries hard enough to get it, without making it super accessible to everyone (only way to get it is by hardcore farming, so many black pearls needed), whilst it being (near) impossible with the powerful bosses thanks to the 2x wilddinodamage.

Sorry for the "necro" xD
