We will be getting a scorched earth server. one was generously donated and will be run by Zardya (and any of our admins that happen to buy the DLC) and has a year of time left on it before renewal. It has 35 slots, and will have the same settings as our server, minus the raft mod, and eco trees.
The server will be passworded for AAH folks only, as a scorched earth server with 35 slots would fill up and stay full pretty much 24/7 and it would be a pain to log in.
We are still in discussion about if and how to go about moving dinos back and forth.
Zardya will post the information here when it is ready to go.

have the game devs added a way to limit what is brought in with imports? If not I highly suggest not allowing it at all, if its enabled without a limit built in... then whats to stop someone from bringing a max level/max stat cheated dino through?

we'd keep em off and let them over during once a week or bi weekly events where I'm standing at the obelisk and 2 other admins are guarding the others.
any funny business and we shut it down.

you would really need to have admins at all times on those days though. A single day that is say 7-11pm EST is still only a 4 hour window with not all players being able to get on at that time, would it be setup as an entire day event?

Post by Nashiq on Sept 21, 2016 22:19:10 GMT -5
nope. get on or wait until the next event which we would schedule at a different time. It's either that or never, so, people will go for it.

that's good to hear there is just a few thing i hope that wont never happen transfering wyverns and to normal ark and quetzes/giga to scorched earth cause that in my opinnion will ruin both games.

Sweet, I can't wait for this. As far as dino transfers i think ALL dinos can come FROM SE but none get to GO TO SE From the Center Map.

The one way transfer is a balance decision on official servers. Nash and I will be testing transfers between the 2 of us before we allow any others to be done.

On the Scorched Earth server follow the same basic rules as you would on the Center. Main difference is the rule of do not build on top of any water source or too close to any water source blocking others access in any way. There is not a large body of water so what water is available needs to be kept that way.
Here is the login for the server: THIS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PLAY UNTIL FRIDAY SEPT 23 EITHER AT 8PM OR 9PM

I will not be posting the password for the public to see so add me on steam JP05.
Thank you and I hope everyone enjoys playing.

For your consideration:Platform build limit idea.Was just thinking it might be neat to up the platform build limit. ONLY because the ONLY platform available in SE is Paracer.. The usual limitations to raising platform build limits don't apply to Scorched Earth, as I'll explain below. For PVP balance purpose the platform structure limit for our beloved Camel guys is a measly 32 structures(so you can't fully armor one side and make them invulnerable to turrets). This is designed only to put a few things on, not a protective structure, but in SE you'd need a lil hut at least to protect from storms. Tents, the other option, have low durability and are only good as a temp/emergency shelter. I think You could go all the way up to like... 7.0 without even approaching anything that would cause performance issues, at least 2.0. Nobody will have rafts except for lols, cuz they're pointless, nobody has quetz or bronto platforms, they don't exist. There's not enough water for plesis with platforms, only Paracer Camel guys, and their build limit is way too low to be useful. Desert Caravan?Thoughts from another admin..I'll be honest... I've been playing on an upped rate SE server since yesterday and I wanna make a desert caravan lol. You can't even build much of a hut or part of a mobile base mini-wall on a 1.0 structures multiplier lol. I just barely mentioned it in chat and an admin said they'd change the limit as soon as they restarted... I didn't even ask.. it was just obvious to them since paracers are the only platforms, they just hadn't thought of it lol. It's true imo Where to go with the multiplier?Rafts, the most common large platform by far on AAH, require only level 15, few mats, are built and left around the world by nearly everyone, and require no investment or maintenance to be left hogging resources. Meaning you can build your raft before you decide anything about your base, and leave it out of sight forever. Paracer platforms on the other hand, require level 45, require a lot of advanced materials, and can't be left in "Safe" zones, like open water. Paracers are a significant resource investment and a liability that can easily die if not looked properly looked after, fed, etc..., putting a natural end to it's server resource use. Paracers will not hog resources like rafts. Rafts, by default allow 88 structures. Some quick math (88 divided by 32) puts that at 2.75 multiplier to be even with rafts. Nash, last I heard, doesn't up platform multiplier for AAH for performance/stability issues. I doubt there would ever be half as many paracers on a 35 cap server as there are rafts on the higher pop AAH server. Plus an abandoned paracer will die or starve and the platform will poof. Even a 5.0 multiplier shouldn't pose a problem except that it might look funny, but rafts look funny with 88 structures already except that the raft itself is hidden under the water. Anything would help. You can't do much of anything with 32 structures in an environment where the very air you breath is hostile much of the time. I have a wish for a 5.0 multiplier but propose a 2.75 multiplier, to be in line with rafts, since we have no rafts. 2.75 would allow protective huts on paracers. 5.0 would enable mobile mini-dino pens so the base could be fully mobile. Lol I just love the idea of a desert camel caravan  Like rafts, but rafts that require a large investment, and constant maintenance/protection so they can't become a pointless burden on the server. Thanks for thinking about it Added you on steam by the way I'm DulcanBlackwood

@ MightyJane, There may be enough water on the map for those that have investigated or know where it is. If everyone built over top of a strip of puddles or blocked an obelisk with dino gates as a wall then there would not be enough after lets say a few weeks. I am not saying you cant build in render distance of water. I am saying this, don't cover the ponds at the obelisk or gate in the obelisks (these are more what I am talking about not the puddles). When I said near i added blocking access as well, ie. fencing off all the water puddles in a ravine.
I was thinking ahead to people being able to place irrigation pipes without being obstructed.
UPDATE : THE WATER SOURCES ARE OF 3 TYPES: PUDDLES, AT THE OBELISKS AND WATER VEINS.
Building under the obelisks is not permitted.
Building blocking puddles or veins with structures or fences is permitted providing you supply an exterior unlocked tap for public use to drink and fill their water containers (these must be kept active or repaired by the person blocking the water source)
I hope this clarifies what I had intended to say about the water supply, thank you MightyJane.

@ DinoDave, How about we discuss this further? I will make many changes I am sure because cloning the server settings was just to get started quickly for everyone and not take a long time to get set up. The settings need to be changed on a per map basis to get the most out of the game. As you said the Paracer platform isn't immediate so it gives me a bit of time to test it. I will increase it to 3x, I will build a mock up saddle to see how large that allows before making any other adjustments. With that done I hope not to see a 20 Paracer caravan though lol.

The server ip and name are on the first page of this thread. The server is password login and I will give the password tonight between 8 and 9. I want to make sure I am online and available as people log in in case of any issues.

UPDATE TO SETTINGS :
Due to the Paracer being the only platform dino on Scorched Earth I have increased the structures per platform from 1x to 2.75x this will give you a similar build counter to the raft. Thanks DinoDave for the suggestion.
PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=2.75

CLARIFICATION TO SERVER USE:
A question was presented to me about players wanting to bring their friends that bought the SE dlc to the server that do not play on the current server. I want everyone to have a good time and I know not everyone on AAH Center bought the dlc but the server is only 35 slots. For the time being only present known members of the Center server will be able to log into the SE map until we see what kind of regular attendance we will have.
