ARK: SURVIVAL EVOLVED Homestead Update Now Out

Seattle, WA – Studio Wildcard released its highly anticipated Homestead Update for the dinosaur survival action-adventure ARK: Survival Evolved! Homestead is a free update to ARK that improves existing structures, adds many new customizable building pieces with increased placement options, as well as updates the Kibble system for simplifying creature taming! This update is now available to all ARK players on Steam PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Homestead includes the major elements of Structures Plus (S+), a player created Sponsored Mod by Orionsun. Studio Wildcard ran a public beta for the Homestead update, testing the features with the community, and all of the builds you see featured in the video trailer below were made by survivors! Be sure to check out their videos on how to build these incredible structures yourself. 

ARK players love to create amazing structures with the vast open-world, showing off their creativity and imagination with amazing results! Now with Homestead, the customization potential has escalated with new choices for existing structures and their placement options, as well as a myriad of additional pieces to utilize in any way your imagination can conjure. Existing buildings were preserved while all new snap points, alternate versions of structure pieces and entirely new structure pieces, were added. Triangle floors, half walls, angled pieces and much more provide survivors the ability to create stairs, ramps, triangular buildings, reworked pipes and cables, etc. These new tools let every building look as unique as its builder!

Homestead delivers a simplified Kibble system across all ARK content. Each creature now falls into one of six categories, and that creature’s egg can be used to tame any creature within that category. Instead of 50+ different kibbles all requiring a specific egg, its reduced to: Basic, Simple, Regular, Superior, Exception, and Extraordinary Kibbles.
