In the interest of server optimization and increasing player density to encourage more interaction, we will be closing down some of our lower population servers.
Save files of these servers will be available at a later date for anyone who wishes to download them to use for their own private servers.
As an online multiplayer, we hope that with the higher player density, Explorers will be able to have more fun interactions and gameplay with others, especially during special events. :)
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
The list of servers that will be closing on 10/23 at 12:00 AM PST is below:
The next PixARK update is scheduled to go live at 12:00 am PDT on September 18th. Servers will be offline for a few hours during the update.
Optimization
Adding difficulty level in single-player mode. Players can adjust the difficulty from 0 (wild creatures spawning at maximum lv60) to 1 (wild creatures spawning at maximum lv120). Higher difficulty correlates to a higher probability of dropping higher quality equipment.
Players now can view the number of creatures in the tribe menu (maximum 60), the number of creatures with platform saddles on (max 25), and the number of airship/raft (max 20 total)
Airships and rafts now no longer count towards tame limits.
BUG Fixes
Fixed a bug where creatures cannot equip normal saddles when the number of equipped platform saddles reaches the limit.

Introducing a cool steel airship and more new creatures! This patch will go live tonight at 12 am (PT), August 14th.
New Creatures: 1. Iguanodon
A medium-sized herbivore with a pair of pointy thumbs that excels at gathering berries and seeds.It possesses well-developed hind limbs that allow it to stand up and walk on two feet, as well as run quickly on four! Normally wild Iguanodons are gentle and do not actively attack other creatures, but they will not hesitate to fight back when they are assaulted.
Tamed Iguanodons have been found to not only aid in the collection of berries and seeds, but also in special methods to help extract seeds from berries. When ridden, an Iguanodon can also be switched to travel mode, allowing it to use its four feet to run quickly without draining stamina.
Left-click: normal attack, harvest bushes, and grass. Right-click: switching between travel and normal mode “C” button: Eats a berry or crop will greatly enhance its attack, and there is a chance of extracting a random berry, crop, or magic crop seed.
Can be found in the Swamp (PixARK) and Glittering Ridge (Skyward)
2. Cobalt Winged Serpent
Can be found at Twilight Woods
3. Cobalt Void Manta
Can be found at the Void
4. Cobalt Ghost Dragon

It’s a sturdy structure with high HP and Weight limit, allowing players to build other structures on top. Steel Airships can be controlled by WASD keys as well as the right-click button for direction, and the C & X keysfor elevation.
New Item 1. Iguanodon Saddle,can be learned at lv35. Optimization: 1. Fertilizers can now have 100 per stack.
