FAQ:

Why have we restarted our cluster?
The united cluster was configured difficulty 10 (max level 300 dinos) with additional 150 post tame levels. This created an unbalance where bosses and some genesis events were unachievable without some serious stat breeding or exploits.. The reborn cluster is near official settings – difficulty 5 with full time EVO 3x and other QoL settings and mods.. this brings all game content accessible to everyone without the breading grind…

What about the other DLC maps and their exclusive dinos (Lost Island, Valguero, Crystal Isle, TheCenter, Ragnarok)?
These DLC maps don’t add anything to the core ARK story, and often provide shortcuts or meta’s that break the game (in my opinion) For this reason we’ve opted to leave them out – at least until we’ve run all the story maps.

What is a dino hunt event?
As a community we’ll hold dino hunt events where you’ll be able to hunt and tame exclusive DLC and event dinos
we’ll provide resources as part of the event where needed – eg: crystal for the crystal wyverns

Why have we excluded the S+ Mutator and Transmutator?
We don’t want breeding or grind to be a focus on this cluster ..breading should only be needed for merging core stats, gaining imprint bonus ..then after levelling you should be good to go!

Why have we excluded the S+ vanilla building structure replacements?
Although the S+ structures have slightly improved snaps, variant switching ability and glass shading aren’t great for server performance and could a cause of our regular lag spikes on the United cluster.. Additionally with the coming ARK 1.0 engine upgrade we didn’t want any mods foundational to our base builds incase they don’t work after the upgrade.

Why have we excluded the S+ Tek Structures? (aggregator, vivarium, tek forge, fridge, cooker, etc.)
This playthrough is about game completion as a community (explorer note collection, boss completion, and ascension) and without the “grind” of before the Tek structures weren’t important for this playthrough. These may be added after we’ve completed the playthrough.
