About Elemental Ark

Elemental Ark adds elemental variants of known creatures to ARK: Survival Evolved. It is for players who want a large creature mod without easy access to overpowered tames, and it runs on all maps, Genesis included.

  • Seven elements: Air, Fire, Lightning, Nature, Stone, Ice and Water, each strong or weak against others.
  • Over 400 creatures, with full colors and improved AI; baby dragons grow into reaper-dragon hybrids.
  • On maps with unsupported spawners, gather elemental essence and use the Essence Emitter or infusion chamber to convert creatures.
  • Stackable with a few creature exceptions, and load order does not matter.

Server owners get a large set of INI options.

Steam Workshop Description

Elemental Ark adds several elemental variances of known dinos to the game. There are 7 elements: Air, Fire, Lightning, Nature, Stone, Ice, and Water. Each has strengths and weaknesses to other elementals (e.g. Water is strong against Fire). Unlike other mods, this one avoids easily taming ridiculously overpowered creatures.

Maps with unsupported spawners


Use the sickle, pickaxe, and axe to gather elemental essence. Then use the Essence Emitter to convert nearby dinos to an elemental equivalent. The temperature will affect which element types spawn. Alternatively, build the infusion chamber and convert your tames to specific elemental creatures.

There are a ton of ini options. See the discussions section for examples.
