The Center fantasy map has expanded  to now include 13 new mini caves, new explorable area near the “Edge of the World,” more penguin spawns, loads of fixes, re-work of the weather system, and more. Players who download this free DLC will more than double the in-game playable geography of the already enormous ARK landscape making it 70 sq. kilometers filled with stunning lighting effects, lava rivers, giant picturesque mountains, misty floating islands, ancient underground ice caves, and more.

The Archaeopteryx is a great traveling companion.

The Archaeopteryx is a small bird-like forest-dweller that glides between trees, harvesting their sap as well as consuming small insects. When Tamed, it can be used to collect sap, or held overhead for players to “glide” over long distances!

The Tapejara provides excellent maneuverability for military excursions.

The Tapejara is a mid-size pterosaur whose large head-fin gives it superior maneuverability. Not only can it ‘strafe’ while in the air, it can only cling onto walls, allowing its rider and up to two additional seated passengers to shoot their weapons!
