Hey survivors, I'm new to servers and am wanting to know if it's possible to raid bases with turrets. I can't find anything online. Recently my base was raided in a great rat spot I found. They didn't manage to find the important stuff because of my 1000 secret doors. However, my base was covered in heavy turret all powered on and stock with ammo up to six slots each. I come back in the morning to see my base raided and my dinos killed. I look at my turrets, and they're all fully stocked with ammo and set to shoot other tribes and enemy dinos. What's going on? Am I missing something important? I'm playing on boosted server btw.

Water on Ps5 and Series X looks god awful. I know you need a supercomputer to make this game look good, but come on. The graphics cards in these are comparable to a 4060.

I have recently experienced the PC and Xbox version, so I decided to try the Ps5 Version. Same poop as Xbox. Legacy bugs and issues still in the game, and it's own bugs, making it buggier than the already buggy Survival Evolved. Not even gonna talk about the situation with servers, that needs no introduction. Horrific graphics and frames, obviously. This is Ark Ascended we're talking about. I swear this game only looks slightly good if you have a 4090, which for an unreal engine remaster, is not much of a remaster at all. First game honestly looks better. On Ps5 and Series X, the water looks like poop, it's grainy af. Idk why people are saying the water looks good on PC either. The water is probably the worst looking part of the game in terms of graphics. However, I must say, the effects look pretty good. Now moving on from my long rant about water, the frames. Everyone knows the frames are trash literally anywhere you play. I think with a NASA supercomuter you might be able to squeeze out 60 frames. On Ps5, I get around 30 frames if I'm lucky. On Ps5 third person is on by default. Doesn't tell you how to change it, which sucks because nobody ever plays on third person. Found an option in settings to toggle it, but it's not available. Since the prompts are changed, you need to hold the touchpad to bring up some extra options, allowing you to turn on third person. In fact, a lot of the prompts from Evolved are changed, making the UI even more poop than before. Moving items requires dragging, which on console is awful. In the original game, it requires holding x, the button used to jump. When unlocking engrams, instead of just clicking on it to unlock them like in the original game, you are now forced to click on it, and then click the unlock button at the bottom of the UI. Because the cursor now locks into the middle of items in the UI, it can be pretty annoying to do that. Like other versions, third person riding is so weirdly zoomed out that I have to resort to first person. However, I have only ridden moschops as of now on Ps5. These are my first impressions after all. Now onto some things I like. Building is undoubtedly a massive improvement from the first game. If you've built in this game, I don't need to explain anything. Another thing is how interactive the invironment is. Grass moves realistically, structures break realistically, water effects are realistic, and trees and rocks have a cool breaking animation. Another thing is, Ps5's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are used. Not used to their fullest potential, but used nonetheless. Great to see support for small things like that. Wild babies are cool I guess, although I can see how people could possibly exploit this for prime meat. FINALLY they got rid of those stupid af cryopods. That poop ruined servers and I'm glad to see them gone. Overall, not much of an improvement, probably a cash grab, but for 60 bucks, it's ok I guess. Since I'm from New Zealand I only had to spend the equivalent of $50 US, so a little bit less pain. Still cheaper than most other games these days.
