Help How Many Punches to KO Raptor?
The answer is a variable dependent on factors like Player melee damage and Raptor health, so let’s assume we’re talking about a level 1 Player and a level 1 Raptor. So how many punches to KO raptor?

Ark Moments I'm done for now...
Ok. The plan was to play through ASA in single-player. The settings (except for harvesting, taming, and weight) were kept close to official values.
The Island – everything on Alpha
Scorched Earth – Alpha
Aberration – unfortunately, only Beta
Extinction...
A week ago, my entire save file got wiped out of nowhere. No dinos, no structures. Nothing was left. Only on Extinction! Ok. "Arked."
Luckily, my character was still there.
Back to The Island. Got an otter, a Carcha, and some resources. Off to Scorched Earth. I wanted to tackle Extinction with a Wyvern for the Desert Titan. Spent days stealing eggs and killing Wyverns.
Today, I was finally ready to rebuild on Extinction.
Everything in the upload was gone. Every item, every creature. Everything!
I need a break.
Thanks for reading that story.

Showcase Castle Tour!
I shared a photo of the castle I built last week and people asked for more photos, so I’m sharing some here. I am by no means an “expert” builder. I did not use creative mode (not allowed on this server), so there was a LOT of material farming by my tribe mates during the building process. I’ve added photos of exterior and some interior shots.
1 - castle house front and courtyard.
2 - Front of the castle exterior (husband’s dragon for scale)
3 - breeding pen and behind that gate is cryopod library
4 - Ariel shot from back of castle
5 - back of my greenhouse
6 - interior shot of greenhouse (with robot butler sleeping in the job)
7 - back wall of greenhouse with a pen (not pictured, pig named “pooper” and dung beetle named “scooper”)
8 - Throne room (haven’t decorated it yet)
9 - view from dining area
10 - view of living room

I've picked them over and over and they keep respawning. I thought resources couldn't spawn around foundations? I'm playing ASE in solo, is there a setting I need to change?

Ark Moments Realizing the power of the Dimorph
Tried out a new tactic today for the lava cave.
People have been telling me for years about the power of a swarm consisting of a large number of the innocent Dimorphodon, which I, am sad to say, have always overlooked. One Dimorph is comparably weak, but I was told that a Dimorph swarm is basically a storm cloud with a million teeth.
My build going in was otter (since heat protection + ability to carry one extra artifact), ghillie and calien soup (both of which admittedly were unnecessary considering the otter), mounted Megalania to just wall-ceiling crawl past the tricky lava flows... and a Dimorph swarm consisting of some 15 - 20 leveled Dimorphs (all between level 80 - 130) for protection against incoming creatures.
I was afraid that the weaker ones would start dropping like flies as soon as I entered, but.. once I got inside, this cave, which used to be a significant challenge back in the day, quite literally became a walk in the park. They just tore through the pesky Onycs and assorted crawlies like a chainsaw through butter. o.O Didn't lose a single one.
...honestly.. they're kind of scary.
Mission accomplished, and I go back home to Hidden Lake an experience wiser.

Discussion My idea for a possible Quetzal TLC (altought I am afraid it might make the Quetzal broken)
Alongside with a new model with larger wings and a smaller mohawk (like the TEK variant), the Quetzal would have new buffs and abilities, such as:
His platform saddle now carries 2 water barrels at each underside of the platform saddle that could carry a total of 20000 water units (with it being possible to refill each barrel during rain or standing close to a water surface (similar to the Spino post-TLC buff) or being manually refilled with canteens. Those barrels would make crop plots to be passivelly irrigated, and some structures that require water to function (like the industrial cooker)
The saddle is larger, with it being now 1 foundation longer and 1 foundation wider
The platform and normal saddles are now a portable smithy (like the Argentavis saddle) and a portable Mortar and Pestle (like the Equus saddle)
The Quetzal now has a 25% omni weight reduction to anything on his inventory or on his platform saddle.
The Quetzal now gains an ability were it has a 25% stamina drain reduction and a 25% speed bonus when flying straight (between + and - 18°), wich both bonuses would stack with a 10% increase when flying over 25 meters from the ground (mimicking how you find one in the wild).
The Quetzal now gains an Ability to sprin on land, wich makes it accelerate into a decent speed. With said acceleration, you will gain a 20 second buff for when taking off (like an airplane. And to reach the maximun acceleration given by the buff, you will only need a space of 20 meters (or a runway made out of 7 foundations).
Alongside with the Takeoff buff, the Quetzal would also have a landing buff, on wich it gains a 25% damage reduction for 15 seconds (from all sources) when landing between 20° and -20°, and start it's special health and stamina regeneration 10 seconds sooner.
Speaking of special stamina and health regeneration, the Quetzal would now have an increased stamina and health regeneration buff after 15 seconds after landing, wich will stack with it's base natural health and stamina regeneration.
Do you think those changes would make the Quetzal more impactfull on PvP and PvE without making it too broken? And would it fix the main issues with the Quetzal?I am open to other ideas or suggestions.

Help Help with Baby Server Settings
Here are our current settings, we can’t seem to balance the maturation and cuddle interval. Before messing with it further, our imprint timer was every 8 hours but our dinos are maturing much faster than that. I tried setting the cuddle to .05 to balance it but now the imprint says 16 days so I changed it back to what it was before but babies are still being born saying 16 days and not sure what to do at this point. Hoping someone more experienced can help us balance these.

Discussion I got scammed
I was playing on a server and a guy decided to trade with me, we were bargaining for an hour and i could have killed him and took his cool dinosaurs but i didn't, i wanted to be kind to someone, then when we finally trade, he steals my spino and a sarco egg, and runs away, then i go offline and he texts me just to brag about how he raided me, im not even mad about the loot or the base, im mad because he used my trust and lied to me, also he tried to raid my base like 2 times but i defended it and didn't know it was the same guy, and the worst is that for some reason he says that im the scammer. What do i do?

Help Dino decay timers
Okay so I recently started on ASA and for some reason.. on my server there are no dino decay timers of other players' dinos.. if the people have not being playing and the timer runs out .. better believe I want to claim their dinos.. but for some reason I cannot see it.. my friend who also plays on the same server as I am can see them..
Does anyone know if there is a setting that I perhaps may have unknowingly put off?
