- Competitive "ARK: Survival of the Fittest" game type, with all moddable source
- "Total Conversion" super-mod system to completely change out core game content
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:
Building on Saddle Platform

My base on my Bronto
(getting every structure type to work with it and be balanced is... interesting :) )
- Swamp Biome & New Cave
- Snow Biome & New Cave
- Water Raft
- Gigantopithecus: Your autonomous Fiber-gathering, human-tossing buddy
- Driveable Dune Buggy Modding example (we'll let modders have the first crack at vehicles with this example :)
- Human and Dino Warpaint
- Controllable Ballistas/Turrets to place on structures and on the backs of your dinos
- Primitive Organic Automated Turrets ;)
- Powered Elevator Structures
- Random GPU Driver crash fix: TrueSky
- Specific Representative "on-ground" meshes for all dropped items
- Better system for hosting dedicated server mods: now you only need to specify Mod ID's, not maps or paths, and there is automatic built-in downloading & updating of their content, no more manual file copying.
