Great videos, watched 90% of your ASA videos. Also I love how you updated your last video (the other saddle one) within a day of posting it instead of just letting mis information sit there. I also love how you test your theories in many ways instead of just presuming it will work the same on all settings / servers. Keep up the amazing work.
i also love your videos. so clean and informative and if you are wrong or test and find differently yes u either update or post neew videos. Greeat Management. i posted a comment about this and testing max level crafted saddles if you could check that comment and possibly test or if you already tested that. would be cool to know THANKS FOR YOUR TIME :)@@TeachersGameToo
Bro, thank you for asking and answering these questions. You are the only person Ive seen describe what the pet slot is in the UI, so glad they made that change.
Nice, This is same as ASE just visible, in ASE also there is hidden dura on saddles, which had no effect, its hidden but using upgrade station mod we can see its there because we can apply durability upgrades to it
Great video Teach!! Thanks for going over all that. I was really stressed out and bummed that my saddles would need constant repair but it’s great to know that it’s just a visual glitch and not an actual problem
I agree, think like imprint buffs but instead armor debuffs. It could be as simple as a 100 dura saddle gives 100% armor bonus, a 50/100 dura could then translate to 50% debuff or reduction of armor provided, and a 0/100 dura saddle would be the worst with no armor bonus at all yet still riddable.
It seems to me like an unfinished feature whereby riding a dino gives you some additional armor against attacks given that it only loses durability while you take damage while mounted. That would make for some interesting potential for saddles that are hide, chitin, metal and tek and encourages players to do more mounted combat at higher levels.
So i was correct about needing to ride the dino before any significant damage to the saddle occurs, even if it doesn't matter in the end. Neat. I feel like they are going to patch in an effect at some point but we will see.
So what you're saying is they added something That was incomplete or bugged. Because the only logical thing that's supposed to happen. Is it's suppo to break and remove itself kicking the Rider off. Something also tells me that's gonna be nursed because from A PVP point of view you can soak for hours. Which is Overpowered if they've did actually nothing. Because I can guarantee that there's a bug or it's not fully implemented yet. Because what you're describing is a 100% a incomplete Mechanic otherwise there's no point in durability in the game for saddles. Just my personal opinion.
I feel like the durability was supposed to offer a percentage based damage mitigation, but someone forgot to activate it. It would explain why the saddle's appearance degrades, but doesn't break at zero and kick you off.
Am I the only one wondering if the fact you tested this on a Stego, the one creature who's superpower is that you can't get dismounted may have something to do with not being kicked off the saddle when it hits 0 durability? Would be an interesting thing to test! 🙂
wonder if they plan to make it so the saddle absorbs some rider damage in the future and when the saddle drops to 0 the rider then takes damage/full damage. Would be an interesting reason to put durability on the saddles and would help in the dragon boss fight as well.
It would make sense if the damage reduction was reduced as the durability went down, but this is kinda silly. I like to think ASE just "hid" the dura stat, which is why the blueprints vary so much, but with no explanation. I'm glad they just don't up and break (looking at the shastasaurus submarine with stuff built in it) but reducing the damage reduction would be acceptable. It would help a lot in defending against soakers in pvp raids.
Check this. Does durability, being low or zero, cause your character to take (more) damage while riding. As in the saddle is what’s protecting your character when riding.
Why does everyone keep forgetting this is early release. It is basically in beta. They get more data in week from this then they would from a year of testing.
Hey really appreciate the steady stream of videos with all the new stuff. Super helpful. If you get time a quick resource guide would be legit lol I never played the island much and don't know where to find everything. Noob status I know SMH 😂 and thank you for everything man.
Can you still switch between hardened plate and Sharpe plate etc when the durability is zero? Can you still fire a weapon from mounted, maybe special features become disabled like smithy crafting in an Argy? Or it's just a bug lol
Yes, You can switch between hardened plate to Heavy Plate to Sharpened plate, and you can equip weapons. I used a beaver and i could use it for crafting.. idk about an argy. I have a stego, a Raptor and a beaver.
@@royalwiz must be a bug then, I can see saddle durability and getting dismounted once at 0 changing up the metas for PvP and boss fights, would be a cool interesting change
@@AlexMac8787 It would be cool, but also create dumb 'bruh.' moments like: You are halfway through fighting the Dragon, and then a Pt breaks your dino's saddle and you get killed and lose almost everything. 'bruh.'
Original release had saddle durability that did nothing as well. Like all the bugs and glitches that came from Original to asa that will get removed sooner or later
so it seems to me.. im just guessing. but i think so say u got a prim saddle... the durability wont matter BUT when u have a crafted max level saddle. now when that goes to 0 durability the damage done is same as a prim saddle? can you test this cuz its possible thats how it will work or thats possibly what they plan to do. in my opinion that would be good. i thought it would kill the saddle n kick u off
Nevermind the saddle thing..... how do you spawn in the levels you want? I can't get it. And can u spawn more than one resource? That's a video I'd like to see with details.
@@smoke_a_g8749 I do host my own server. I was finally able to get the cheats to work. Like spawning dinos at a specific level and spawning resources. That's a relief.
I think that is just the torch's durability. When the Durabilty reachs zero, the torch will be unequiped from the saddle and a broken torch will be added to the dino's inventory, I could be wrong.
@@royalwiz you can test it out in single player just forcetame a flyer and run out of stam in air if you cant get to the ground if your too high it will just stop midair and kick you off
If a saddle breaks it reduces to 25 armor and your using 25 armor so i assume thats the issue try using a 100 armor or something If you can even break the high dura saddles lol There tough
Can someone tell me why this game feels so dead? It just feels likes its in a weirdly innactive state where only about 20 content creators have even made videos on it. It feels like only a few people have been gifted it like when youtubers get sneak-peaks of games, even though i know this isnt the case. It just feels so off, and the people streaming the game sound, not disappointed, but just as content as they would be in an ASE stream. I know its not out on console but it still just feels so weird and dormant. Please tell me why and if this will change for good
What the durability is connected to is the armor because once there is no durability the armor is supposed to be disabled but it isn’t so this feature is bugged
you didnt check the damage vs other player dinos/structures. it could be a pvp only thing. this is very bad scientific method. there are too many variables you didnt control for.
I really wished that the durability would 1) Go down with reasonable damage, and 2) Kick you off AND/OR take away the Armor benefit. Would change it up with turret soaking, boss battles etc.

Oh ok. So that's how it works.
Honestly i think they should reduce the armor offered.
As opposed to fully breaking and unequipping like player armor.
I wouldn't actually mind if it was actually like that.
I agree, think like imprint buffs but instead armor debuffs. It could be as simple as a 100 dura saddle gives 100% armor bonus, a 50/100 dura could then translate to 50% debuff or reduction of armor provided, and a 0/100 dura saddle would be the worst with no armor bonus at all yet still riddable.
@@ryojimata3708 As long as it didnt effect platform saddles I would agree. Either that, or add in a way to fix platform saddles without removing them.
i also saw my saddle dura tank almost instantly with a light torch on it
It seems to me like an unfinished feature whereby riding a dino gives you some additional armor against attacks given that it only loses durability while you take damage while mounted.

Thanks, i was worrying that my platform saddle was gonna be broken, and I'd have to replace everything
Teach never fails to have a character with the whole damn bakery
Good to know it’s just a visual thing.
So really it's just like when Ark 1st dropped 8 years ago when saddles had durability and it ment nothing, eventually devs dropped it.
Thanks Teach. I appreciate ya.
Been watching since og ark. Excited to play ASA on PS
Maybe they designed it where if you have a strong saddle at zero duro it becomes a primitive saddle in effectiveness
Cant wait for this to come out for console thanks for all these helpful tips man subscribed now

Awe man I was looking forward to something more on the mechanics.
Can you test if durability will go down from ascended to prim form stats after taking damage. That would make sense
Thanks so much!
Am I the only one wondering if the fact you tested this on a Stego, the one creature who's superpower is that you can't get dismounted may have something to do with not being kicked off the saddle when it hits 0 durability? Would be an interesting thing to test! 🙂
good point
Keep up the good word. I loved to see more of your videos.

great video as always
It will probably come in future releases. So I will still keep an eye on saddle durabillity.
I'm betting on abberation time. The roll rat was the first creature to use anything like this.
drag a torch onto the saddle
Maybe it affects how muxh damage the rider takes? Idk hust spitballing. Some dinos can still hurt you as you ride as well.
This is possible
I have a question. I'm new to Ark. What does the icon with shield on it mean at the top right corner mean?
Hey can you please do a video on how saddle armor works im haveing alot of trouble understanding
So did we get quarter sloped ceilings or not?
Check this. Does durability, being low or zero, cause your character to take (more) damage while riding. As in the saddle is what’s protecting your character when riding.
Why does everyone keep forgetting this is early release. It is basically in beta. They get more data in week from this then they would from a year of testing.
Me just looking at when will the giga nearby will attack this guy
Did you check if higher armor values reduce to standard armor values
Hey really appreciate the steady stream of videos with all the new stuff. Super helpful. If you get time a quick resource guide would be legit lol I never played the island much and don't know where to find everything. Noob status I know SMH 😂 and thank you for everything man.
well it is early access so what it's meant to do...just might not be added right now
saddle dura was always there but didn't do anything on ASE.
No effect vs turrets either?
Don’t Gigas ignore armor?
Can you still switch between hardened plate and Sharpe plate etc when the durability is zero? Can you still fire a weapon from mounted, maybe special features become disabled like smithy crafting in an Argy? Or it's just a bug lol

would be nice if nitrado put the engine settings in for the asa game like ase has!!!!
Original release had saddle durability that did nothing as well. Like all the bugs and glitches that came from Original to asa that will get removed sooner or later
Here is a question, do passengers still take damage before the dino? At least thats how I remember it being
No idea
so it seems to me.. im just guessing. but i think so say u got a prim saddle... the durability wont matter BUT when u have a crafted max level saddle. now when that goes to 0 durability the damage done is same as a prim saddle? can you test this cuz its possible thats how it will work or thats possibly what they plan to do. in my opinion that would be good. i thought it would kill the saddle n kick u off
@TeachersGameToo
Can you test if a capped saddle loses its dura then gets bit? Maybe the lowest it can go is prim
Does it affect rider protection? Like certain dinos that hit the rider as well don't hit the rider if the saddle is there to protect them?
if a mastercraft saddle runs out of durability, does it still provide the added armour or does it maybe provide prim armour when broken?
Did you test against turrets?
I did test it. It seems to take low amount of durability hit
1st comment! Love your vids teach! Keep it up, and good luck to 100k! 👍
Has anyone actually asked wildcard directly yet?
Hmmm sounds like something someone said
“saddle durability does nothing” Good lets hope it stays that way.
Im on official and when it dura goes down it kicks me off 🤷🏼♀️
Nevermind the saddle thing..... how do you spawn in the levels you want? I can't get it. And can u spawn more than one resource? That's a video I'd like to see with details.
Cheats are in the cheat menu i think with everything
@@smoke_a_g8749 you mean the one they took out?
@smoke_a_g8749 couldn't ever get those to work anyhow. The SHIFT + . They never worked for me and I'm the server admin
@@scfan95 they took it out from official and unofficial you gotta play single player or host your own servers for the cheats to work
@@smoke_a_g8749 I do host my own server. I was finally able to get the cheats to work. Like spawning dinos at a specific level and spawning resources. That's a relief.
The durability also goes down if you attach a torch to the saddle
I think that is just the torch's durability. When the Durabilty reachs zero, the torch will be unequiped from the saddle and a broken torch will be added to the dino's inventory, I could be wrong.
So the ascendant saddle just crafted that has 26 armor in 1800 durability is trash 😢
Can you explain how to only craft med brews in cookers without crafting dyes?
So, i guess youre doing it in a cooking pot, dont use wood, then it turns into charcoal and takes priority over the brews, use thatch,
turn off auto crafting on your cooking pot and or industrial cooker
So it’s bugged … otherwise they wouldn’t add it .
I think saddle durability was already a thing in ASE it just never went down
Yeah it's definitely a incomplete mechanic or it's Bugged.
Saddle durability has always been in ASE and ASA it just wasn't visible.
It was in ASE but never went down. But this clown needs to test in official servers not a single player game lol
Clown ??! Show some respect bro … why don’t u rather than complaining stop to be a lazy cry baby and produce some videos of your own… unbelievable
I gyatt to love your avatar
So that saddle durability is prolly still in progress!
If the saddle is broken your dino takes more damage
I've been kicked off like a few times it comes from running out of stamina on a dino that has a saddle with 0 durability I believe
I will test this thing and come bacck to you!
@@royalwizare you sure hes not just using flyers only cuz that happens on flyers when they run out of stam regardless of the saddle
@@eesamohammed2104 Oh, I don't have a flyer yet. I am looking forward to tame a Quetzal by using an argy or a tapejara.
@@royalwiz you can test it out in single player just forcetame a flyer and run out of stam in air if you cant get to the ground if your too high it will just stop midair and kick you off
If a saddle breaks it reduces to 25 armor and your using 25 armor so i assume thats the issue try using a 100 armor or something
If you can even break the high dura saddles lol
There tough
I didn’t test that much. But it would make sense
0% durability should work as: no riding option. 🙂
That’s what I though
I don't think saddle durability should even exist.
It just adds more annoying things to the game.
Can someone tell me why this game feels so dead? It just feels likes its in a weirdly innactive state where only about 20 content creators have even made videos on it.

Ark is full of exploits remove the trees the rocks the water and your PC will run fine, and you can see other players Ez use INI Ez Kill in PvP
So there’s literally 0 purpose of having saddle durability? Come on wildcard -__-

i linked you on twitter
