The Island

The Island is a map included with the base game. It is the first known ARK and is the first map that follows with the storyline.

Overview
The Island consists of multiple climatic and geological regions. There are five larger mountains in the north and plains in the south. Three large Obelisks form a triangle on the Island.

The Island Map
The Island is a large landmass with several smaller islands surrounding the central island. Resources become more common as one travels farther inland, but so do the dangers. Some areas are higher in temperature while others are lower which can be life threatening.

On the Island there are two types of weather, rain and fog. When it rains, you will hydrate and can fill your, , or with rainwater. When fog rolls in, it is hard to see very far.

Notes/Trivia

 * Many of the dossiers involving the ocean creatures on the island have various misconceptions, but this may be intentional.
 * Within the dossier it states that "Were it not restricted to the waters, the carcharodon ultramegalodon would be one of the most dangerous creatures on the island." which is extremely exaggerated considering it's stats are lower than creatures such as the rex or spino by a considerable amount and even then its not nearly as strong as other oceanic predators such as mosasaurus, tusoteuthis and even plesiosaur which the dossier claims the megalodons hunted them and that the megalodons were even the apex predators before Helena discovered the mosasaurus.
 * In the dossier it is accidentally called tylosaurus which is a related species however its likely a mistake as in the actual text for the mosasaurus its just called mosasaurus and not tylosaurus.
 * In the dossier it states that plesiosaurs only hunt things small like humans however in game they will attack just about anything including megalodons and mosasaurus.
 * In the dossier it is given a incorrect size as its stated to be 30 feet long however in the mosasaurus dossier the mosasaurus is stated to be 50 feet long which in game the tusoteuthis is actually larger than the mosasaurus.
 * In the dossier its stated to not be generally aggressive and don't have a very good perception however they will track and shock creatures and even chase them which is nothing like the dossier.
 * Finally within both the and the  dossier it's stated that they make fantastic bases however this could not be farther from the truth as the structures built on them aren't water proof and do not provide oxygen meaning unless you use scuba gear you will drown eventually.
 * On Xbox since v757: If you would like to play The Center map without advancing through The Island, launch the Island and then open the command menu. Type in cheat playercommand Ascend2. Once finished you'll be able to load The Center as normal.
 * On PS4 since v510: If you would like to play The Center map without advancing through The Island ascension, launch the Island and then open the command menu. Type in cheat playercommand Ascend1. Once finished you'll be able to load The Center as normal.
 * Every single story ark has their own themes with the island ark in particular being based around prehistoric animals mostly.
 * In lore, Helena notes about many things about the Island's abnormal ecology.
 * The Island almost has a 2 to 1 predator to prey ratio, the complete opposite of how an ecosystem works where prey always outnumbers predators.
 * Obelisks dot the Island in different colors.
 * Creatures of different time periods are coexisting.
 * Once tamed, the creatures are suddenly obedient to the survivors.
 * Gestation rates of all the creatures are abnormally quick.
 * Tames of different species never fight amongst each other.
 * Dead Island and the South Haven Island shouldn't be existing due to them having only predators and herbivores respectively. Helena notes that predators are prone to carry parasites in their meat and based on facts, herbivores overpopulating an area results in the population starving to death due to lack of food for the massive population.
 * The Island is the only map on ARK Survival Evolved: Mobile. In it, the ichthyornis, thylacoleo, hyaenodon, hesperornis, yutyrannus, megalania, kentrosaurus, ovis, and the giant bee have been removed. The megatherium, daeodon, pegomastax, troodon, and jerboa are only found in the dungeons and do not freely roam the landscape. On the other hand, wild breedable griffins with their own names spawn at Far's Peak. Four of the caves from the base Island have been removed and instead of boss arenas, the Obelisks teleport to dungeons where humans face off against Eerie creatures and the bosses by themselves.
