Changelog

Note: Since the term dino is used in patch notes to define creatures in general, the changes have been put on this page. For dinosaur-specific patch notes, see Dinosaurs.

Patch	ARK: Survival Evolved Changes
171.2	Made Tamed dinos not look at you unless you're pretty close nearby.
172.3	Dinos can no longer damage metal structures.
172.5	Tamed Dinos no longer get OP health boost from harvesting bodies/plants, now they get a more mild health restoration.
174.2	Improved Tamed dino climbing, and following distances. Can no longer drag living unconscious dinos in PvE that aren't on your team.
176.0	You can now walk all your dinos backwards. Removed the Dino Inventory Slot limits. Raised the dino fall damage velocity threshold by about 33% and decreased fall damage by 33%. From the backs of dinos, only doors are now activatable. Otherwise E will dismount.
177.0	In PvE, knocked-out dinos are now damageable by the team that knocked them out. Can now adjust a setting for whether you want your dino to auto-collect inventory from things it kills. Guns/explosives are 20% more effective against dinos.
190.0	Added Dino Hurt-Damage Blood overlay (various dinos get bloodier as they take more damage to help visually indicate their health). Fixed Dinos getting stuck on Server when swimming and attacking.
204.0	Max Tamed Dino cap on Official Servers properly raised to 5500.
206.0	Fixed a case where you could get insta-killed when dismounting from your creature. Significantly reduced Dino system memory overhead.

256.3	Certain creatures now have special weight reductions for specific resources similar to the Beaver.
256.42	The gender of a creature now correctly displays in its inventory.
259.0	Fixed dino spawning issues in single player that caused over-spawning of certain creatures over time and issue where spawns were becoming depopulated. Changed all creature names to use their long form. Creatures will no longer drown when they are encumbered. Added missing eating animations and sounds for creatures. Reduced tail collision on medium and large creatures.
261.0	Fix for singleplayer creature spawns becoming depleted over time as they did not come out of hibernation properly.
264.0	Fixed hat sockets on multiple creatures.
