Ark Descended completely rebalances creatures: they are far stronger than vanilla ones, and the mod’s author explicitly asks not to mix them with regular creatures. That’s why Descended has its own two-map cluster: you can travel between Descended Island and Descended Valguero, but nothing can be transferred in from other clusters.
The maps run permanently: daily restart, automatic updates and backups. Here you’ll find a shop with Descended creatures and a play-time balance.
