Upcoming Patch v207 (ETA: Early Friday Morning EST, Status: In Testing)
Items in this list are not carved in stone and can be changed by the developers. You can see more on the official change log. Steam > ARK: Survival Evolved > General Discussions
- Driveable Dune Buggy Modding example (we'll let modders have the first crack at vehicles with this example :)
- New Creature: Pachycephalosaurus!
- New Item: Water Raft!
- New Item: Scuba Pants, providing excellent hyperthermic insulation, but only when in water.
- New Item: Craftable "Amnesiac Soup" that resets all of your Engrams and Skill Points!
- Paintings / Warpaints can now be saved, loaded, and shared! (they require the corresponding indicated amount of paint to apply, of course!) -- can someone make a Bitmap to ARKPaint converter now? ;)
- Human and Dino Warpaint
- Collidable Saddle Platform & Build-on-Saddles: make your big ♥♥♥ brontos and plesios into mobile bases, build just about anything up from them! Build ladders to climb up onto them, whatever -- the possibilities are nearly endless!!! ;) We originally were gonna limit it to sleeping bags and turrets, but let's just go all-out and make it work with everything, like so: :)
- Scuba Torso Top included in Tank Item
- Auto Anti Hack Banning (Speed, Aim, and more): experimental server option
- Ogg Music now plays on Mac and Linux (main menu, loading, spawning, etc)
- New ServerSettings "DisablePvEGamma=true" option now prevents gamma changes in PvE
- DestroyWildDinos cheat command, instantly destroys all Wild Dinos. Useful if you want to force repopulation of the ARK... sounds apocalyptic. Similarly, DestroyStructures
- When placing a Wall, you can now press a key to rotate them 180 degrees when snapped (i.e. to "flip" them)
- Eliminated Server lag/stalling associated with clients that have poor connections getting a BUNCH of structures sent to them all at once
- There's now an on-screen overhead icon when a Dino of yours is in range of one of your Troughs.
- You can now place crop-plots on Structures (but, they require open access to the sky if on a Structure!)
- You can now name Refridgerators... Maltheus :)
- 50% of the Inventory weight of a Monkey on your shoulder is now put on you ;)
- Rocket Launcher no longer consumes 2 ammo per shot; only 1 ammo per shot now.
- There are various new craftable dye colors including Cyan ;)
- Fixed Claiming of dinos on PvE! (thankfully the timers are saved, was just an input issue)
- Custom Chat bindings now work properly when menus are open
This week
- Powered Elevator Structures
- Controllable Ballistas/Turrets to place on structures and on the backs of your dinos (which damage stone structures at primitive tech level!)
More to come
- Survival of the Fittest: The Last Stand
- Creature Breeding & Babies! Yes, they will grow dynamically in real-time!
- DirectX12 Mode for Windows 10! Approximate +20% perf
- Specific Representative "on-ground" meshes for all dropped items (getting every structure type to work with it and be balanced is... interesting :) )
- Swamp Biome & New Swamp Cave
- Snow Biome & New Snow Cave (September)
- Random GPU Driver crash fix: TrueSky.
NOTE: Plesiosaur Build-On-Saddles are coming in the future update v208
