These redwood trees also can have a special structure placed on them, the Wooden Tree Platform, allowing players to build bases off of the ground. These trees will allow certain creatures to climb on them. The Redwood Forests are similar to jungles, with many trees and a good amount of plants, and also feature redwood trees that cannot be destroyed, with wide trunks and high treetops. In these zones there are fewer threats, but also fewer materials available.

Although mostly all mountains are in the northern area, there are still some zones in the south that resemble a cross between a grassland and a mountain. Traveling with more than one tame through the mountain region can be life-saving, not only for the player but for the tames themselves. As always, Argentavis flocks keep the airspace on lockdown and can sneak up on players when least expected.

The Giganotosaurus, the apex predator of ARK, calls this land home and will swiftly end any oblivious player's experience. Sabertooths and Allosaurus packs also prowl the basins. Wild packs of vicious Raptors and Terror Birds patrol endlessly, eating anything they can get their mouths on. Rexs and Carnos usually patrol the basins between mountains, which means that any passage between will often lead to confrontation with them. It is not recommended to live in this area, unless you can reach top of the mountains, where very few predators can reach you. They are also an Alpha Creature spawn point. However, mountains hold the largest amount of Stone, Flint, Metal, Crystal and Obsidian. They are home to Rex, Argentavis, Giganotosaurus and multiple other varied threats (like extreme temperatures). Mountains are arguably the most dangerous part of the island. Genesis: Part 1 introduces missions on the Lunar Biome such as Dodo Basketball and Bulbdog Basketball. It is recommended to have shadow features turned on to allow your player to know in which direction the sun is facing to avoid sun radiation. Survivors can avoid extreme sunlight by hiding beneath a shade and remaining in the shadows. At certain time, this creates an instant burning effect similar to what survivors experienced on the Surface but to a lesser degree. The biome contains a relatively weak atmosphere that does not contain a powerful barrier against ultraviolet rays from the sun. Gasbags has also been spotted across the moon and in the caverns, but not often.īecause of ring systems around planets that the Lunar Biome travels near, this biome can be hit by meteor showers, and it can occur at any directions at specific spots. Several Aberrant creatures like Seeker and Reaper King are found on rare parts of the fractured biome, and most of the others like Ravager, Roll Rat and the Light Pets are found within caverns of the biome. The Biome features mainly Tek Creatures and swarming with Defense Unit and sometimes Attack Drone, with a rare sight of Astrocetus. The Lunar biome is covered in an Element fog but it comes with a number of hazards. It orbits a strange planet which can be seen in the distance. The Lunar Biome is one of the more difficult biomes found in Ark: Genesis: Part 1 and the first to feature outer space with low gravity on a fractured part of the moon allowing for floating across this region. Jungles neighboring mountains will also have large concentrations of Stone. However, the jungle has an incredibly high concentration of Wood, as well as a high concentration of Plants. It can also get extremely dark at night because the tree canopies above block out the moonlight, which can make it deadly if you cannot see incoming predators. The jungle's dense forest can also make it easy to get lost. While both the Titanomyrma and Meganeura can be dispatched easily, they each employ their special mechanics to prove deadly against all players. Thus, if a large battle is taking place, Meganeura will add yet more damage, especially if the player is fighting a swarm of them already. If a dead corpse of any animal is left in the area, Meganeura will appear and begin swarming the area, which often leads to a confrontation with the player. The Meganeura make use of a dangerous spawning mechanic to overwhelm players of all levels. They employ slowing and poisoning tactics on prey, which can catch unaware players completely off guard. Each squad consists of 2 flying soldiers and 3+ drones that crawl along the floor. The Titanomyrma spawn in small 'squadrons' in the forest, and it is not uncommon for there to be many in a single area. Besides the obvious Pulmonoscorpius, many new players do not see the threat in the Titanomyrma and Meganeura. Contrary to popular belief, these insects can be extremely deadly. It is also home to various herbivores and insects. The jungle is filled with fast creatures, such as Raptor, Dilophosaur, and Carnotaurus.
