Using the flyer hand brake while on an Owl makes them stop slower...

So using the dino hand brake should cause a dino to stop faster, but the Owl already stops pretty much instantly.

When using the Hand Brake key, the Owl actually stops SLOWER than without it...

Looking for players to play Ark with on a private server of sorts on PC?
Still fairly new to the game.
I want to just have some fun and tame stuff.
Im looking at the primal fear mod if anyone else is keen.

Feeling lost / need guidance

Posted: 02 Sep 2020 07:19 AM PDT

Noob here, I've only a few dozen hours in the game and only played solo so far. I've restarted my game three times now, changing the settings and adding mods, but I noticed each time I restarted around the same time and this time again: I'm feeling lost and unsure what to do.

The start is pretty straight forward: You gather resources, level up and unlock new engrams. Then I try to build those new engrams to get access to better tools/dinos/structures. But there comes a point, where I stop using up all my engram points each level, and where I'll still unlock more engrams than I can actually build. I've unlocked the fabricator, pump-action shotgun, etc. But I need oil, polymeres, electronics and other high-tech resources that I don't have access to, as I'm running around on Herbivore island.

I've tried to venture forth onto the main island of the map "the island", but every time, I feel so woefully under-prepared.

I've tamed two Paras, a Pteranodon, two Trikes and a Brontosaurus, but they are on Herbivore island. I have a simple pistol and a simple shotgun with a few dozen ammo for each, but I still mainly use my crossbow, keeping the guns for emergency situations only.

I'd very much appreciate some guidance from you guys:

* Share some guides/walkthroughs

* Give me missions to complete

* Tell me what I need to do next

* Give me tips on how to survive my forays to the main island (and what to actually do there?)

* Anything else?

PS. I've tried joining online games, but naturally, they are all pretty evolved already and arriving at a location that already has a massive, high-tech base with all the tamed creatures only increases my feeling of being lost. I furthermore hate using voice chat and am not that hardcore of a player, so online play is generally not for me, but I'm willing to listen to suggestions if you guys really think going online is the way forward to help me overcome this bump.
