ark-survival-evolved – What Does the White Icon Mean in ARK: Survival Evolved?

After some careful deliberation and laying out what we had accomplished, we decided that we did in fact omit a large part of the game.

Exploration!

It's kind of simple if you think about it, the island is huge, and while we did carve out a small safe corner of it, we had not yet explored even a fraction of the island.
So now we've set off on foot, following the shore from the western to the eastern border. Due to the crafting of arrows / food / temporary shelter and the fighting involved, we've discovered new species of dinosaur and leveled up quite a bit.

So if you're in doubt after the early game on what to do, and don't want to break the feel of such an immersive and fun game by power leveling or doing stuff just to get ahead in the game, try finding out whats past that high hill near you.

I would suggest using the admin manager, unless you know the player's ID.

I tend to go into console use ShowMyAdminManager to get the player's ID. Then you can use the console command or the admin manager, depending what it wants.

So to give you an example of the admin manager, since that can be confusing for people. When you double click GiveExpToPlayer (with the player highlighted in the list), just click Copy Player ID to get their ID, then put the rest in like 12345 150000 1 0 and hit Execute. 12345 is the Player ID, 150k is the exp, 1 is FromTribeShare, and 0 would share the exp with the tribe. FromTribeShare doesn't make as much sense to me right now, but the description is to apply exp as if it came from the tribe. I would suggest playing with that to figure out how it affects the exp.

So same thing with console, you can just put in cheat giveexptoplayer 12345 150000 1 0 and get the same result. Also for the last 2, you can use true and false as well as 1 (true) and 0 (false).
