About ARK: Reclamation

ARK: Reclamation is a creature mod for ARK: Survival Evolved that aims for a middle ground between near-vanilla play and heavy overhauls. Its goal is to give overlooked creatures a purpose and add new ones with clear jobs. The author has released its final content update, so the mod is complete.

  • Utility tames: the Embersteed works as a mobile forge and cooker, the Pyjak freezes and preserves, and the Rhea griffin can fertilize eggs.
  • Combat: The Forgotten bring back pre-TLC models of classic creatures as alpha hunters, alongside the Vastatyrannus and Frostborne Cyclops.
  • Water: the Lutricampus is an all-round underwater helper and the Abyssal SeaKing is a very fast swimmer.
  • Events: themed variants for Fear Evolved, Turkey Trials, Winter Wonderland and an egg-themed update.
  • Chibis: some creatures are available as chibis from the Reclaimed Terminal.

Steam Workshop Description

Welcome to Ark: Reclamation!
(Mod ID: 1989252120)
This mod has officially had its FINAL (New Content) Update – meaning, this mod has reached the end of the road. I appreciate everyone for coming on this journey with me! It’s been a blast!

Some might think of this as another "dino overhaul" mod. Personally, I like to think it fills that niche between "vanilla-ish" and "balls-to-the-wall overhaul" that not a lot of mods like to occupy

The goal of this mod: To give a new use to creatures/dinos that don't get enough live while also (subjectively) making the creatures/dinos you already love that much better.

CURRENT Creature List:
- Slags: Have a shell and "waste" composed of different raw elements.
- Luxpred: Small, illuminescent, flying jellyfish.
- Embersteed: A fiery stallion that acts as an internal forge and cooker
- Emberhorn: A fiery Unicorn that loves to jump... go ahead and try it out
- Mystic Emberhorn: An altered Atlas horse turned Unicorn that will leave any land creature in it's dust
- Pyjak: An arctic-spitfire Jerboa variant with freezing and preserving abilities
- Ditetraceras: An Aberrant Trike-Shieldhorn hybrid that can produce a torpidity gas
- Arid Shieldhorn: SE's Ditetraceras Variant (Uses the Atlas Shieldhorn model)
- Aegiceras: A Styracosaurus-Shieldhorn hybrid that can pop a highly toxic shield that pushes back any creature in it's path
- Arid Aegiceras: SE's Aegiceras Variant
- Lutricampus: Part Otter, Part Sea Horse, but also your all-in-one underwater companion
- Rhea (and Map Variants): This ethereal Griffin can make even the most infertile eggs fertilized... If it doesn't eat them first
- "The Forgotten": Pre-TLC'd Dino Models reborn into Alpha-killing machines that want to "Reclaim" their place as the true Alphas of Ark. (Consists of the Bigfoot, Direbear, Direwolf, Procoptodon, Raptor, Rex, Sarco, Spino, Trike, Saber, & Argent)
- Abyssal SeaKing: Elusive and luminescent creatures; Also... taming one will give you the fastest underwater creature to exist in the ocean.
- Atlan Seahorse: Being ferocious, toxic, & pack-orientated creatures, they take "You mess with one of us, you mess with ALL of us" far too literally
- Capu: While cute and cuddly, they're a little more aggressive than the standard Monkey
- Seafaring Capu: These cute critters sport a nice Pirate Hat... and the carry the Capu Plague...
- Vastatyrannus: This spoiled tyrant is definitely a terrifying force to be reckoned with
- Fulgurhorn: This electric sheep is "shockingly" fast
- Frostborne Cyclops: This colossal frost giant can not only tank your strongest hits, but also deal spine-chillingly high amounts of damage
- Manauri: This astral feline may look majestic, but don't disturb it. You'll be in for the fight of your life
- Reclaimed Summoner: Can spawn in ANY Reclamation creatures to fight you!!!
- VR Reclaimed Summoner: Can spawn in VR dinos to fight you!!!
