In this blog, we tell you everything you need to know about this mod for ARK: Survival Ascended.
What Is Jurassic Awakening?
The Jurassic Awakening mod is one of the best mods available for ARK: Survival Ascended. It is a full survival adventure overhaul, which adds huge changes to the game while somehow making it feel more like ARK. The mod’s been developed for The Island, with a progression system that increases difficulty from the south to the north of the island. It adds an array of new creatures, gameplay mechanics, revamped biomes, advanced survival elements, weapons, and Jurassic-themed tools. Let’s jump into the details!
The Jurassic Awakening Mod Features
New Creatures
Jurassic Awakening adds over 400 new dinosaurs and variants, each with unique AI behaviors making your encounters more dynamic and realistic. This mod features a large lineup of dinosaur variants, including updated versions of DLC dinos and special variants with unique stats.
Loot
There are hundreds of new mounts, weapons, armor, and items to enhance your survival adventure, giving you plenty of new equipment to discover. The mod also introduces a loot variety system, in which items such as weapons, armor, and mounts can appear with special stats or unique traits. In addition, the loot tables for dinos and supplies have been rebalanced, making gear scavenging more exciting and rewarding. There’s even tameable flyers included, but they are rare and only found in the most difficult areas. We strongly encourage you to explore thoroughly before taking to the skies.
Structures
This mod adds dozens of new structures expanding the gameplay possibilities, introducing new building mechanics and a more in-depth progression. With these new buildings, players have more options for creating advanced bases and managing resources. This brings an extra level of strategy and complete immersion to the survival experience!
Progression System
When you start in Jurassic Awakening, spawning on the south beach is a better way to begin, as the other areas are too difficult for new players. While progressing through the game, the difficulty increases the more you explore the different regions of the island. Dinosaurs get stronger and their levels increase the further you travel. This becomes amplified as you move from the southern beaches of the southeast to the harsh snowy regions of the northwest. The progression system has been reworked, with each level offering new tools, armor, taming, and more, providing a deep and rewarding experience for the player from start to finish.
Settings in Jurassic Awakening
Jurassic Awakening features a settings panel where you can adjust the difficulty to Easy, Normal or Hard, whether you are a server administrator or playing solo. Each level of difficulty affects the game in different ways, such as a higher collection rate and XP gain on Easy. While the game will still be challenging, these aspects will be a little easier. The difficulty change also impacts the frequency of rare items appearing. Normal difficulty is recommended! To access the settings panel, open your inventory and click the blue icon on the right. If you have trouble viewing the admin settings, you can respawn by consuming the ARK implant in your inventory.
Important 🚨
- It is recommended to start a new game to fully appreciate Jurassic Awakening, as the mod may not be fully compatible with old save files.
- Jurassic Awakening is a major overhaul mod designed to be a standalone experience. Although some mods may be compatible, it is not intended to be used with other mods.
