New Creatures

Reindeer
Traditional festive legend has it that Santa Claus's Reindeer pull a sleigh through the night sky to help him deliver gifts. In PixARK, Reindeer are herbivores widely populated in the Frozen Land. Male or female, they grow large antlers to charge at dangerous predators to protect themselves. Reindeer are strong in body and developed in limps, allowing it to run extremely fast. Their large hooves allow them to sprint easily on the surface of snow. It has come to explorers’ attention that Reindeer is born to be attracted to snow, as they are more lively during snowy day. They can sprint for a long time relentlessly, making them the best ride for people to travel during winter time.

Kairuku Penguin
The Kairuku Penguin is an ancestor of the modern penguin, with a slim body and long fins suited for swimming in the water. Wild Kairuku tend to consume food rich in grease and minerals which can not be easily digested and is likely to be excreted. Their excrement is found to be similar to Polymer. Tamed Kairuku are unlikely to be fed with food rich in mineral, hence they rarely produce special excrement. However, their body generates heat like a fire stove, providing cold resistanceto explorers.

Tapejara
Tapejara grows a large and distinctive head crest, the symbol of power to show off when they are courting. Known as the aerial acrobat, Tapejara is one of the most adept flyers, as its crest is a highly developed sensory organ allowing the animal to finely maintain balance while its large wings provide it with sharp maneuverability in the air. Tapejara wings are strong enough to hold two explorers atop without sacrificing its aerial adeptability. Its sharp, climbing-suitable claws also allow it to hang on the edge of cliff.

New Subspecies

Shadow Leopard subspecies (Magic Forest)

Residing in the Magic Forest where danger lurks everywhere, Shadow Leopard activates its inner magic power while hunting prey, mastering the ability to utilize shadow power to turn itself invisible. Hence it can sneak its way up to the prey, and take it down more easily. Shadow Leopard mounts can hide (RMB) both themselves and the riders, making them the best ride to initiate ambush at the target.

Gem Spider subspecies (Magic Forest)

Sparkling gems are Gem Spider’s favorite of all time, and it is no surprise that some Gem Spider mutate after taking up a lot of illuminating gems. Tamed Gem Spider subspecies can have their inner lighting elements activated (hold E to activate) to emit light through the gem on its back.

Centaur subspecies (Magic Forest)

Among the centaur species, some spent their lifetime living in the Magic Forest which is surrounded with magical elements, evolving their perceptibility to magic. These centaur forgo the spear, and instead use a staff to summon air magic, and the powerful tornado (RMB) to range-attack the enemy.

Quetzal subspecies (Frozen Land)

Quetzal has long lived high above in the air and rarely lands. Some of them are intelligent enough to learn the ability to fly along with the airflow, which allows them to sprint forward for some distance quickly so that they can get out of danger swiftly. (Press C). Compared to its normal counterpart, Quetzal subspecies is better in movement speed and attack despite its inferiority in other stats.

Dire Wolf subspecies (Frozen Land)

Dire wolf has a very sharp sense of smell, yet they are born to have a bad temper, making it hard for the explorers to communicate with them. Their sense of smell was never put into good use until a special Dire Wolf subspecies was tamed. Unlike its cranky counterpart, Dire Wolf subspecies is intimate to its master and smart enough to under what its master tell it to do. Its sense of smell is can be used to discover injured dinos from long distance, and dropped backpacks as well. (Press C)

PixARK Update 12/6 - Patch Notes

PixARK - SG_madi

The scorching desert biome is receiving some love with patch 1.34. We are adding new creatures to tame and new engrams to learn!
New Creatures

Morellatops
Morellatops is a dinosaur similar to the modern day camel. They can transform surplus water and food into a special nutrient which gets stored in their humps. This allows the Morellatops to thrive in the otherwise desolate desert. It also means that they are an important part of the food chain, with many predators seeking to hunt down and consume them!
Once adventurers learn how to obtain the nutrient preserved inside without hurting the docile Morellatops, they become an indispensable companion in the desert. As outstanding pack animals, they also provide water and food and help adventurers to better withstand the fiery heat, which makes the difference between life and death in the desert.

Ancient Mantis
Mantis is an horrifying insect from ancient times. Their intellect is unparalleled among non-human creatures, hence they have mastered how to use human weapons and tools, and evolve their raptorial forelegs into weapon-grasping claws.
Because of their ability to either wield melee weapons such as swords and spears during combat, or grasp tools to harvest resources, the Mantis is an invaluable tame for all Explorers.

Ancient Anthropluera
As an appalling predators from ancient times, Anthropluera are equipped with large poisonous fangs, a sturdy shell that covers its entire body, and many, many legs, making them the nightmarish enemy. Analysis of the body fluid they spit out reveals its low ph, indicating strong acidity and causticity that could easily corrode armors worn by adventurers.
Luckily, Anthropluera is not categorized as an intellectual creature and therefore, once tamed, they can be used as mounts, or whistled to stay put to attack incoming enemies, as your “defensive turret”.

New Engram
Burning Arrow
Flaming on the tip, Burning Arrow will ignite its target once hit, causing burning damage over time.
Unlocked at level 20

Tent
A simple and practical tent, providing heat resistance and cold resistance to explorers staying inside.
Unlocked at level 32

Incendiary Oil Bottle
Made of oil and clay, Incendiary Oil Bottle spread out oil when thrown on the ground, slowing people down if they stay within. Oil can be ignited by Burning Arrow, causing burning damage over time.
Unlocked at level 55

Desert-themed Costume
You can certainly wear some spectacular explorer costume while you are venturing in desert. Desert-themed costume is gonna make your adventure stylish. Desert-themed Costume is craftable in Tailor’s Workbench.

It takes 10 seconds for Thorny Lizard to produce 1 Coal with 3 Dirt.

PixARK Update 11/23 - Patch Notes

PixARK - SG_madi

PixARK 1.32

New subspecies:

Sarco (Swamp subspecies)

Living in the muddy Swamp, the Sarco subspecies has evolved their agility and body flexibility to better suit their competitive environment. They can hunt down prey, especially those that are agile, with their Deadly Tumble, a more efficient means to kill their prey.

Ice Bear (Frozen Land subspecies)

Only found in the Frozen Land, the Ice Bear subspecies are stronger and and more flexible in their limbs compared to their normal counterparts. Long-term interaction with humans have cultivated these smart Ice Bear subspecies to mimic the way human walk with two limbs, evolving themselves into biped, hence allowing them to use their stronger front limbs for a explosive swing.

Elemental Spirit (Frozen Land subspecies)

Long inhabiting to the Frozen Land, Elemental Spirit subspecies have mastered a power that can knock-back other dinos to better protect themselves. The more intelligent Elemental Spirit subspecies can be tamed and whistled to fight alongside their masters.

Abandoned Structures

Players has long been plagued by the abandoned structures in the servers, and has no easy way of fixing the issue themselves. To allow for a better game experience on official servers, we are adding a dynamic list to help with this issue. The list records all online players, and if a player becomes inactive (as in both the player and his/her tribe members have been offline for more than 15 days) in the list, all his/her structures will become demolishable by anyone. However, the player are given a grace period (15 days from this update) to log in the server and become active again, so you can demolish the abandoned structures 15 days later.

Server Recycle

These four servers below will be shutdown at 11.25 because of the server condition.

Asia-Pioneering-theland23
Asia-Pioneering-theland24
Asia-Pioneering-theland10
Asia-Pioneering-theland9

And please keep track on our new servers information.

New subspecies:

Trike (Mountain Forest subspecies)
Found only in the Mountain Forest biome, the Trike subspecies can easily be recognized by its distinctive color and head. To get better suited for the complicated terrain this biome presents, the Trike subspecies has developed a powerful defense stance, using its head to fend off incoming attacks and counter attacks when the time is right.

Paracer (Swamp subspecies)
Confronted with the hostile and unsympathetic Swamp biome, Paracers are constantly being hunted by predators, which forced them to develop an ability to increase movement speed during a short period of time at the cost of draining all of its stamina. To further strengthen the ability to evade predators, Paracer subspecies grows stronger thighs but a less weighted body.

Fire Element (Doom Lands subspecies)
Doom Lands is the only place where you can find Fire Element subspecies, who has evolving into lava element after years of residence nearby lava. Better suited to the unbearable heat lava emits, Fire Element subspecies has developed the ability to slowly produce lava from within, leaving a a lava trail on the its walking path.

Treant (Magic Forest subspecies)
Over the course of Interaction with other dinos and creatures, some Treants grow stronger arms, and evolve into a more intelligent creature, who is more inclined to use its ranged attack.
It is also noted that tamed Treant subspecies are more restrained; they are able to stay where they are as whistled, instead of indiscriminately charging its way forward like their normal counterpart does.

Ichthyosaurus (Deep Ocean subspecies)
The vast ocean provides the best playground for Ichthyosaurus subspecies to develop a special skill; a spinning charge. To better use its unique skill, Ichthyosaurus subspecies develops a more streamlined shape with stronger fins.

Optimization
Optimized the engram screen to allow players to sort by item type.

Bug Fixing
