I get the feeling that the dark map is supposed to be a MASSIVE underground cavern with the giant crystals providing some light. I have no idea how the flora is supposed to survive though.
While caves are dark and do not provide much sunlight for photosynthesis, there are plants that live in caves nearer their entrances, from algae on up to higher plants like special nettles. Ex: Green algae, which uses chlorophyll a and b, is often found on the walls and roofs of cavern entrances. In the depths of sea caves, red algae thrive more, much as it would in the darkness of the deep sea. This is because red algae use different color pigments to absorb light according to water depth. Red and brown algae and diatoms use a different combination of chlorophyll (chlorophyll a and c) than green algae (chlorophyll a and b).
can't believe he was that oblivious to the idea of it being a massive cave... was the giant glowing crystal in the distant skybox area not a obvious clue?
Lasum is one of my favorite hidden Workshop gems! I had so much fun running this map on a server for my gaming group! We are convinced it's larger than Ragnarok. It's perfect for both PVE and PVP, with tons of buildy-spots and hidey-holes!
that last map looked absolutely incredible! if i had a PC that could give me a stable framerate in the official maps, i would totally download that map and play on it! good job showing us all of these maps!
Bro I keep hearing the background music (that starts at 2:14) and I get flashbacks of my friend and I playing Battleblock Theatre for hours at my house. but besides that great vid Raas!
This was really interesting! The flat land ones are always appealing to me, because sometimes I like a safe place to build and keep the dinosaurs I've found on other maps.
I would love a showcase series of mod maps. Maybe one video per month showcasing 10 maps or so. Just like Lassum I feel like there are a lot of really good maps that aren’t known by many people.
You have to click the double arrows to the right of "Available Mods" in the singleplayer screen to use them not just click it. Thats why the thanos thing didnt work. (9:50)
That last map is very promising... Sticking to the map topic, maybe someone can recomend some good mod map? Exept Tunguska, Olympus, Fjordur, Talamh and Hope
Did you try Glacius? I love it, it’s pretty much the opposite of SE in terms of climate. It is cold, even in the starting zone which makes it challenging but not too hard in my opinion. The resources like metal and crystal are hidden under rocks, so you have to keep an eye out for these materials. The map has several caves to explore and despite it‘s size the performance is very good. Also there are a few custom creatures. The only downside is that the updates by the modder take some time to be finished.
The Volcano is not bad, I cant remember all detail but i think it has normal island zone and the Extinction waste zone that can spawn corrupt creatures, I think it has titan boss too
Pangaia, Tropical Island, The Earrion are all beautiful maps. And if you want a big, gorgeous RP map based on GoT, The Knowne World. Just mammals and No Dinos, but you can add whatever you want with Simple Spawners mod.
And I found my new map. I thought I had everything with Tropical Island - but Lassum is getting added now. :} Thank You! (Can’t wait to crash the game with my builds on there, lmao.)
Or rather 9 Ark Mod Maps You Will Never Play and 1 You Very Well Might! XD Nice video. That last map is surprisingly very cool! I want to check that out.
Did anyone else get that the private map looks exactly like the maze runner?!!??!? the box is where they come up and the walls look exactly like the maze runner ones
Really enjoy these videos, while its clear to see there are some bad maps/mods out there at least some people are putting in some effort. I couldn't even start making a map so props to the map makers and Raasclark for giving us a preview. Also really enjoyed that last map lets hope it comes to life at some point as a sponsored mod.
Hey, love your videos, just wanted to say that you're probably the best ark TH-camr that I know, I think you deserve more, anyways keep making videos they're awesome
That last map is perfect and I can't believe rp servers are sleeping on it. Can you imagine a kingdom war going on with a maxed out server. You could have so many cool pve settlements all over the place and Jesus Christ the diplomacy that would need to take place with that many biomes to claim
Ahahahahaha. This is good idea :) If I had more space I would do this. I just to play custom maps for terraria all the time. Any mods reccomendations? I am also interested in mods that change the game itself like zombies mods.
I only see one thing wrong for The last one has a ton of lag that I’ve seen in the video” moder if u see please keep up the good work. Damn I wish I had a pc.
you should rename this to 8 ark maps you'll never play because that thanos one doesnt exist and lasum most likely will end up being played if it keeps getting developed
So.. Raas you did notice you didnt actually put the Thanos Mod thing onto the mod list right? At least in the video you only clicked on it. To have it active you need to press the Arrows to put it in the active mod list above, which in the video you didnt do :) at 9:50 we see that you dont have it in the active mod list at all.
The if the extinction city map had npcs it could be a part of earth before the corruption took over, like many other of theese maps, they have potential

hey mom can we get ab:
No son we have AB at home:
Ab at home:
Lasum definitely looks great, I hope it isn't abandoned
It isn't
Last update 1 months ago, owner is absolute chad
It's still getting updates in 2024. June 13th 2024 is the latest update so far.
The core issue with a lot of ark workshop maps is they were hyped, but then became abandonware. Sad because they had potential.
Pandora anyone?
Raas if I had to pick one TH-camr that absolutely deserved the success that they are finding it would be you. Keep up the quality content.
Thank you! That means a lot 🙂

Your commentary makes this 100000 times better, also those are some fine maps
The sound of 8 dodos is so satisfying. I can’t stop winding it back to hear it again
that last map looked absolutely incredible! if i had a PC that could give me a stable framerate in the official maps, i would totally download that map and play on it! good job showing us all of these maps!
What an original Ark video! Everybody always searches for the “best”
But the “worst” is an untapped market. Love it, thanks for the video Raas
Thank you 🙂
"If you want pure flat and an ob that takes you nowhere, compass one is for you"
Yes, and a FOUNDING TITAN RIBCAGE
ayy raask i love how you still are enjoying ark keep it up man, also do you plan on keep doing ark or play another game?
Thanks! I certainly do mate right up until and through ARK 2. Do play the odd other game too
Bro I've been here since you were 3k subs, i can say the channel has only gotten better! Keep up the grind Raas much love for you
Thanks mate!
Bro I keep hearing the background music (that starts at 2:14) and I get flashbacks of my friend and I playing Battleblock Theatre for hours at my house.
but besides that great vid Raas!

Console players:
Tell me something I don’t know!
Love your vids mate I like this style of video you should do more of them oh and will the monarchy be going back to fiorder soon?
Find out this Sunday!
There actualy lots of great mod map that people didn’t know, thanks to showing to us raas!
The music in all of your videos is really well picked out
Thank you!
Eventhough i do not enjoy Ark as much as i used to, this video's a lot of fun!
Also, 9:42 lmao
I would love a showcase series of mod maps. Maybe one video per month showcasing 10 maps or so. Just like Lassum I feel like there are a lot of really good maps that aren’t known by many people.
When a man from a country with an active monarchy calls a crown a "king helmet"...
Love it.
That last map looked great!
You have to click the double arrows to the right of "Available Mods" in the singleplayer screen to use them not just click it. Thats why the thanos thing didnt work. (9:50)
Sadly we will never know the inner machinations of thanos's mind.
I did. Just cut it out when I reloaded with it
@@Raasclark ah 👍

for lasum, theres a teleporter for the space biome in the snowy area and a teleporter for the aber area in the bog biome :3
And I found my new map. I thought I had everything with Tropical Island - but Lassum is getting added now. :} Thank You! (Can’t wait to crash the game with my builds on there, lmao.)
This was great thanks Raas it really opened my mind what’s out there
Or rather
9 Ark Mod Maps You Will Never Play
and 1 You Very Well Might! XD

Yeah defo one to keep an eye on
Did anyone else get that the private map looks exactly like the maze runner?!!??!? the box is where they come up and the walls look exactly like the maze runner ones
Good content as always raas. We can always count on you for some original video ideas
Thanks mate
@@Raasclark Anytime pal,Keep up the great work
Lasum looks like it could be really good. I miss Valhalla. Nice idea for a video, more please. :-)
6:42 what a nice little easter egg
That last map was solid, omg. Like, its a WIP, but it looks great! I hope to see that played on the future!
Really enjoy these videos, while its clear to see there are some bad maps/mods out there at least some people are putting in some effort.

Damn that Lasum map is definitely my favourite
"thats always a good sign if the frames are poor to begin with" 10/10 commentary
Love the battleblock music over everything.
Hey, love your videos, just wanted to say that you're probably the best ark TH-camr that I know, I think you deserve more, anyways keep making videos they're awesome
Ah thats genuinely lovely to read. Thank you!
I would love to see an series like this!
👍🦖
"Thanos with a king helmet on his head."
I think the word you were looking for was "Crown". Lol.
Some of these maps really do have some potential I like that map creators actually put effort in there maps
I'd love to try that last map out, but feel like it would kill my computer.
Omg imagine extinction map but it isnt wastelands and its all beautiful.
That would be pretty cool. Like a pre-disaster extinction. Or long enough after that the corruption died that the plants and animals returned
@@LK_35 yea but after beating king titan the city is gone.
Gotta love the battleblock theater music in the background 😂
The thumbnail looks like the island crashed into extinction
been here since before 1k and been loving the content since, keep up the great work man
That last map was really well done, definitely has potential
Absolutely!
I’m being honest, you deserve 100K and beyond. It’s honestly simple
I appreciate that thank you!
@@Raasclark I should be thanking you, because you always make my day!
That private map do not use was another maze runner. When they get into they go up trough a shaft which was the lights shaft
Yeah of course!
that last map rlly rlly has potential i can see that aswell lovely video Raasclark~
Thanks! Yh I agree 👍
After seeing Compass 1, I'll never complain that Crystal Isles is too flat again.
Great video Raas
The research and dedication put in your videos is amazing
Thanks mate!
Honestly didn’t expect the one at the end to be good.
eyyy he brought back the battle block theater music. Good on ya!!!!!!!!
😉
A king helmet....so, a crown?! XD
Is that battle block theater music! Brings me back! ❤️
part 2 raas hurry up hurry up we need more banger maps
There already is mate. Check the top 10 playlist. There's a part 3 too
"Thanos wearing a king helmet" My guy, do you mean a fucking crown?
The last map is awesome man!!!!
That maze runner mod , looked amazing
I binged all of your top 10 videos and now I need moreeeeeee pleaseeeeee
Coming as quick as they can 😅
I feel like Thanos has now seem ALL of your dirty laundry and skeletons in your closet
That last map is perfect and I can't believe rp servers are sleeping on it. Can you imagine a kingdom war going on with a maxed out server. You could have so many cool pve settlements all over the place and Jesus Christ the diplomacy that would need to take place with that many biomes to claim
Damn cool idea for a video!
Also bless you for risking your pc life for our entertainment!
😅 thank you
Big 100k coming up
Getting close!!
That last map is amazing
The map on the min 7 is based on a movie maze runer
That tek city reminds me of the Emerald City, from the Wizard of Oz.
Haha. Yes!!
Top 10 idea
Top 10 small,medium and large dinos all separate videos
Ahahahahaha. This is good idea :) If I had more space I would do this. I just to play custom maps for terraria all the time. Any mods reccomendations? I am also interested in mods that change the game itself like zombies mods.
Stay tuned in that case 😉
Love yo see more of this.
Also you have to click the double arrows to activate a mod.
woooww lasum looks cool. could be smaller tho lol. i dont get why there isn't more extinction stuff. i loved everything they did with extinction
the map at 7:10 looks to have been another mazerunner reference
Yeah in hindsight I'd agree
Ah yes, a "king helmet". XD
1k likes... looks like you gotta make another one!😂
Holy hell already?? 😂
You receive 9 out of ten dodos for using battle block theatre menu and game music 😆
I only see one thing wrong for The last one has a ton of lag that I’ve seen in the video” moder if u see please keep up the good work. Damn I wish I had a pc.
Maybe you could play the last map on the list once it’s finished
And perhaps you could do an the hunted series?
you should rename this to 8 ark maps you'll never play because that thanos one doesnt exist and lasum most likely will end up being played if it keeps getting developed
We need more tek stuff in ark 2
Ah yes the “king helmet”
Wow lassim looks amazing
Only biome that wasn’t in the last one was the extinction wasteland one
And water, and space
More map reviews please. :)
You know, still don't know they existed.
So.. Raas you did notice you didnt actually put the Thanos Mod thing onto the mod list right? At least in the video you only clicked on it. To have it active you need to press the Arrows to put it in the active mod list above, which in the video you didnt do :) at 9:50 we see that you dont have it in the active mod list at all.
Yh it was a jump cut mate. I reloaded it after 😅
@@Raasclark D: Jumpcut magic I see. And here I was thinking you being a console ark player had affected you haha.
The if the extinction city map had npcs it could be a part of earth before the corruption took over, like many other of theese maps, they have potential
6:00 it’s another maze runner map
glad my map wasnt on here (or i guess both maps)
Fun fact: I didn’t know these existed
dude the map w the extinction city thing looks dope as fuck though
9:49 **it seems that Raas has forgotten how to use mods...**
lol it was a jump cut mate
@@Raasclarklol must have been tired when i saw that clip last then huh xD i see now
maybe el barinto was also going to be a maze runner mape because it looked like it
I don't even think Lasum could run on the PS5 and Series X 😳
Raas’s channel is gonna get hacked by Thanos man
😂
King helmet = crown 😂
You're right, I'll never play them. XBox doesn't have mods. 😂
Lost Island was just a bunch of lag hope fjordur is better had to switch to atlas now that actually works
It surprised me that some of these where actually decent 😂
