Tip: With singleplayer I use the "admincheat saveworld" command right after taking things out of the obelisk because if the game happens to crash after you do but it hasn't saved yet on it's own, anything you've removed from the ob (items, tames) will be gone forever. Learned that the hard way asdkjdfs.

dude such a big help just started playing and don't know what id do without your vids the handbook guides are a god send ty ty

When downloading creatures on single player be sure there’s enough space for the creature to spawn. If another tame is overlapping the spawn point the game will crash. Any items uploaded will be erased from existence and any creatures uploaded will go the way of the dodo. Just make sure to move creatures out of the circle when downloading multiple tames.

This is exactly what I needed to know for the start of Genesis 2

A few tips for single player item downloading. I don't know if it is just me and my brother that have this happen, but when you return to a transmitter to collect your items and notice they are all gone, don't panic, simply put anything in there, even a random piece of fiber off the ground, any item will do, once you put it in there, your items will load in. Also, never exit the transmitter when it says the maximum amount of items have been uploaded, because you might lose those items forever. Not because they were deleted, bu because you can't access them with the before mentioned having to put another item in. I just lost a ton of amazing loot and resources because of this. Also, you can use loot crates to transfer on servers but not on single player. So, if you are transferring off or onto aberration, you are kind out of luck because you have to use the obilisks which are on the surface. Trust me, I know your pain if you are dealing with this. Sorry this text was kind of long, I wanted to put all the tips I knew.

Short, clear, and everything I wanted to know. Couldn't ask for more.

Serched for 30 min or so on info on this and BY far this was the simplest and best info so thankyou mate.

I have been struggling with this for a while, thanks

This is a perfect video bro. So many people are going to need to know this. Great job 👌👍

I remember watching these a long time ago trying to get better, now I watch them just to support ur vids

Thank you SO much! I want to tame a crystal wyvern but am playing on the island, this is exactly what I needed!

Thank you for making this video. This was very helpful and was very informative and easy to understand. All the videos you make have this same great level of quality. Thank you for putting all of this time and effort for the benefit of others. This video was very informative and helpful. Thank you.

the best way to transfer creatures from server to another by using crypods it makes easier to transfer creatures and you don’t have to wait all time for transferring just join to any server or map then collect it from the ob that you used for that purpose

Aww man, this would have saved me a lot of confusion if it had been out just a few days ago when I moved single-player maps for the first time lol 😅 At least it's here now!

This was so helpful all the other videos didn't show the whole screen and they were confusing tysm

Only video that put it out simply. Thanks man

I remember when I asked you what to tame on extinction and now because of your tips I have beat every map

Simple to the point gave a like plz do more. Thx

this video was very helpful for me

I was wondering if you could do a "list of things to do before defeating the "specific map" boss

a few things, You can't switch between PvE and PvP on official servers, On certain unofficial servers sometimes the option to transfer items to single player is allowed which also allows for a little trolling, also theres a strat with the transmitter where you keep good tames in them and take them out and put them back in every 23 hours so they dont die. also you forgot about Tek Transmitters

Dummy Proof Brother! I appreciate it! Definitely just subscribed and liked! 👍👍👍

Thanks. I've been getting bored of The Island but didn't wanna leave Sergeant Dan and my guns behind.

Keep up the good work

Thank you this was helpful

This was extremely helpful thank you

quick and easy thanks man ;)

Can you make a video on all of the fliers on the game? Their pros, cons, etc. It would be very helpful!

Can you transfer fertilised eggs (Eg. Deinonychus eggs from valguero) or do you have to hatch the egg and raise the creature to transfer it?

Thanks. Still wondering about cryopod use when transferring. Can I have the cryopods in my quick select and can I keep the saddles on? PVE on PC.

Not sure how this video slipped under my radar for 4 days 🤔 Great video btw!

I have one question, if I was to transfer items from, say, The Island to Scorched Earth, then created a new character for Scorched Earth, would my items still be there? Or is the items bound to the previous save?

Hmm. I play singleplayer and have 4 maps - The Island, Ragnarok, Crystal Island and Lost Island. I'm using a different character for all these 4 maps. Will it be possible for the character on Island to upload gear/dinos to the one on Ragnarok for example? I assume that if I transfer the character itself, I'll get issues with the Tribe mechanism?

To reiterate what a few have said in comments. You can transfer dinos in cryos in your inventory on pc without issue. You can also transfer artifacts, but not tribute items, element or element shards. I've done this countless times and have had no issues. This also saves you a trip to an obelisk once on the intended map.

I'm not sure if there are quite as many issues on servers, but be aware this process is *very* glitchy, at least for me. On singleplayer always remember to take out any creatures before you take out your items, for whatever reason if you take an item out of the obelisk and then take out a creature the game will crash, this will reset the world back to a point before you opened the teminal, but it won't save the items you took out, I've lost far more saddles than I'd care to admit. The same goes if your world crashes before it gets a chance to save, except you can also lose creatures this way. Finally, I'm not sure exactly what causes this, but I've seen creatures just get straight up deleted for no reason, it usually happens on your first transfer, so make sure to bring a dummy creature just in case if you're worried, I guess whatever angry god is responsible for transfers takes a creature as payment every once in a while. I lost a horse on rag, but my brother lost an event managarmr trying to take it off map, scary stuff

Thank you so much for your Information! I just recently discovered your channel, amazing work, keep it up

Great jobb!

No mention on item / creature expiration, and key details? I came for a refresher and I didn't get any of the needed info that I once knew but don't remember...

Even though i don't really need to know this stuff, why not I find the way you do things more entertaining than actually helping(boooooring) cuz i already know most of this stuff :)

What creatures, items etc. can I use for transfer and boss fights?

You can also transfer with items in your inventory which is super helpful when going to aberration considering the loot crate spawn rates Ive done this a few times and haven’t ran into any problems doing this method

Can I cryo my dinos and move them without the 12hr cool down

big papi always got the nicest voice ❤️

do you know if can still use your survivor after transfering it to another server from where you transfered it from

What about dedicated servers? How can me and my friends change from Rag to Se on my dedicated server.. the download survivor button is not there and when I use transfer button the list stays empty

I realy needet this w video tx so much.

Is it possible to return to the previous server once the survivor has been downloaded? For example, I’m on the lost island map, I want to possibly go into another map that’s more “element heavy”, harvest up a ton, and then return back to my lost island base…I know I could admin command and cheese it that way, but I’m trying to be as legit as I can on my play-through, I just don’t want to download my survivor to another map, harvest the element, and then not be able to get back into/access my previous base at the lost island map.

So if I owned an unofficial server and wanted to transfer to another map from a different unofficial server, that would be possible?

I tried doing it on my server but I had no clue how to do it so thanks

is it possible to get creatures from maps you don't own by having a friend transfer them?

Anyone know if uploading off ark is broken? Because I upload my character but it won’t let me leave the map, I hold esc but it just want me to create a new survivor. (I play on pc and singleplayer)

So I originally made my character on a Xbox only Map Valguero1186 but then I decided to transfer over to a cross play server exctinction to get some electronics for my base but when I went to transfer back to my original map it only lets me transfer to cross play maps now I’ve lost everything on my Xbox only map bc I can’t transfer to it

im not sure if im doing something wrong but when i try to go to the main menu to swap maps on single player it wont let me and forces me to make a new survivor

ok, there are a few tips from what i have learned in official pve, there is a server save every 15 minutes, is in every save when you can transfer if you grab any item you want to upload before the last save, otherwise you must wait the countdown is over to transfer, this also helps to organize your transfers grabbing all you need prior the next save, but we recommend wait few more minutes after the save to prevent a loss since even if is every 15 minutes the save, not all servers do it in the exact same time, and if the server you are traveling crashed in the save, you may end up losing your character after the transfer. Also you can transfer everything you have in your inventory (some exceptions like bee hives or tributes cannot be transferred), but most items can be transferred if you have them in your inventory, this helps if you fill your ark data tab. Food can only be moved once, in fact, most spoilable items can be only transferred once, or at least until last update from this time jun 10 2021, if you transfer by example a fertilized egg, this cannot be transferred again, once you got the time ready for transfer, this item will reset its timer so you wont be able to transfer it. A last tip is the lack of upload survivor button in official servers, some players cannot see the entire list of official servers, but if you can confirm the server you want is in the same cluster, you can add it to favorites from steam. Next you transfer to another server, can be any but remember you need to have that map, once in the spawn menu press esc and return to main menu, then go to favorites and join the server you want, once in the server you will see the character creation menu, go to download character, and if this is in the same cluster, you will see the character you uploaded, then just select it and download, you can now spawn in this map, this works like the upload survivor feature in single player. Hope this helps some players out there.

How do you find out what server a tame came from when you kill it. We were attacked last night. I was able to kill their PT but it didn't give me a server number. Help please

I'm having a problem..I transferred from one map to another forgot some stuff so I transferred back now it's saying it's not my stuff/dinos? What do I do

Say i transfer my character to another server leave my dinos make a base. Then am i able to transfer my character back get the dinos then transfer to where i built the base again will i still have the bed i made or will i lose the base and dinos i already moved

Hey pterafier, starting playing ARK a month ago with my friends on a single rented PS4 nitrado server and your vids have been super helpful, love the channel! I was wondering what my possibilities and limitations are for changing maps on my server. If we change the map in nitrado settings, will all of our stuff on the island still be there if we switch back, or will i need to rent another server to make a cluster. Im a super noob and the potential to lose a bunch of stuff scares me from trying anything lol

Pterafier is very poggers

on my private single player game I can move artifacts between maps by putting them in the "Ark Data" section

Just like artifacts, you can also not transfer tribute items!

What about the cryopods do they also take 12 hours to take back

Look i just want to transfer an egg incubator from genesis 2 to our private server is it possible?

What about sea dinos in island where can they be transferred?

i transfered form lost island to the island left the server then when i went back t the lost island and tries to download ark survivor it didnt work

Hey man I cannot transfer anything in my inventory to ark data any help??

have not transfer to a new map yet, but in abberation i approached a loot crate underground to look into your advice.. i take it those are not transmitters? nothin listed except inventory. also charge stations i learn do nothin. are the transmitters on the surface the only option? also just subscribed, i enjoy your content. has been eye openin as to how long i have been playin the tough way.

When I click "upload survivor" it instead sends me to creating a new character instead of the main menu. Is that normal? How do I go back to the main menu? It doesn't show it to me or I haven't been able to find it.

If I upload on a single player game, after it sends me to the main menu, will it delete my world or my tribe?

"the game wouldn't be balanced" damn, nothing like getting wiped after two days by a nameless tek tribe who threw away three wyverns and a space dolphin just to steal my thatch and blow up my little autoturrets... i swear, they spent more on c4 than i spent on the base.

What happens to your previous world after you transfer (Single Player)

Can I transfer a character from crystal isles offline protected server to a NON offline protected island server?

can you move dinos with cryopods? if you do would the 12hr cool down still apply

I wish i knew this. I've just been making new cheacters on each map and sending the tames I want through in cryopods

Thanks 😊

thanks alot mate

Can you transfer items from an unofficial pc session to another unofficial pc session

I'm part of an Arkade server, would it be possible to transfer my character to a server that my friend owns?

Can you transfer fibercraft to nonfibercraft if theyre both unofficial pc

I have a level 419 dino it doesn't let me upload it. Can I ask why

Bro I'm having a problem. My friend and I, are playing on a player dedicated server. Which means he's using another console to have it as a server. After 2 months, we reached 105lvl and we want to change the map. The problem is that we can not upload our characters to the cloud. We go to the obelisk console and it shows up 2 options (Refresh Tribe inventory and move to another server) when I select the second option it doesn't show up any servers. So I can't upload my character. Is there something I can do?
