![]() You can collect tranq arrows from killing higher level dinos.In Survival of the Fittest, Tranq Arrows become available at level 10 (along with Bow), and can be crafted by using 5 Narcoberries instead of Narcotic (to prevent the need for a foundation, mortar & pestle, and spoiled meat).This bonus stacks with the 2.5x bonus from head shots. Flying creatures take 1.5x damage from non-bullet ranged weapons.However, bows allow Tranq Arrow to be delivered in a quicker succession compared to a crossbow.A Tranq Arrow fired from a Crossbow is more effective in terms of both damage and torpor when compared to either a Bow or Compound Bow.Unrendering wild creatures may remove their debuff, and cause previously delivered Tranq Arrow to lose effect. Remember not to leave the render distance of a creature you are trying to knock out.So if the creature is near unconsciousness, it's better to wait after each shot as to not harm the creature unnecessarily. On the other hand, the torpor increase takes 5 seconds. Step three get on top of the ramp and start shooting it with Tranq arrows. Step two: Hit the trike run into the trap and go through the small door. That means it's not necessary to wait in between shots to gain the maximum torpor. Make it big Enough so the trike can’t get out make a ramp into the trap and a small door for a survivor to fit in. A second arrow hitting the target will not override the torpor-over-time effect of the first arrow, the effects of multiple arrows will instead stack.They can usually be recovered by walking up to the area of impact, but will be recovered as Stone Arrows, the Narcotic being expended. A standard quality Bow would Cause 40 Torpor damage immediately, with a timed release of 50 torpor over 4 seconds.) Upon hit, they instantly increase the target's torpor by an amount equal to 200% of the weapon damage and give an additional amount of torpor equal to 250% of the weapon damage over the course of the next 4 seconds. Tranq Arrows can be used as ammo for the Bow, Crossbow and Compound Bow. It does less damage than a Stone Arrow, but increases the target's Torpor. Using a Beelzebufo to kill/harvest the insects will not only result in a much more Chitin, but your frog will also directly produce a sizable amount of cementing paste as well.Īdditionally, in Crystal Isles, Chitin can be harvested from Anthills in large quantities, as well as from the Titanomyrma and Dung Beetles that spawn around them.The Tranq Arrow (or Tranquilizer Arrow) is used for rendering creatures unconscious.

El Triceratops (Triceratops/Trike en la versión original del juego) es una de las criaturas disponibles en ARK: Survival Evolved. Farming Karkinos on Valguero or Aberration can be an effective way of gathering large amounts of Chitin, so long as you have a strong enough tame.Īnother way to farm Chitin is to kill a creature, and let the corpse rot without harvesting it. Often a swarm of Meganeura will come to the corpse, and you can kill them all at once to gather chitin. If you are in a forest or swamp, you can also kill a random dinosaur and leave the corpse. Another good way to farm Chitin is to kill Trilobites, Meganeuras or Titanomyrmas at the beach and surrounding areas, harvesting them with a Hatchet or a Sabertooth. This method can grant up to 500 Chitin in 10 minutes. A Sabertooth will gather just as efficiently but has lower base damage. Chitin can be harvested with a Stone Hatchet and Picks as well other low level items will only occasionally harvest Chitin.Īnother efficient way to farm Chitin seems to be killing scorpions and spiders in caves with a Direwolf skilled on melee damage. The pike holds the advantage of more precise hits against small chitin-droppers like Meganeuras. ![]() ![]() Another highly efficient tool for harvesting it is the Metal Hatchet with the metal pike yielding similar efficiency. A tamed Diplocaulus can also be used to gather Chitin by killing Trilobites. The most efficient way to harvest Chitin is by using a tamed Megatherium, Direwolf, Sabertooth or Therizinosaur (headbutt with delicate collection leveled up) with high melee damage. Chitin can be acquired by harvesting corpses with most tools and dinosaurs. ![]() ![]() ![]() console show Bloom, showflag.Bloom 0 or in configuration files: showflag.Bloom = 0Ĭonsole variables require more typing but they also override the editor UI showflags and they can be put into configuration files like other console variables. ![]() ![]() The console variable fx.freezeparticlesimulation allows to you disable the update part as well (editor UI also exists).Īnother one: show tessellation disables triangle amplification but still uses the tessellation shaders.Ī good profiling starting point is with high-level features, such as show StaticMeshes or show tessellation.Īll show flags are also exposed as console variables, e.g. Required to support re-enabling them at a later time. ![]() show particles hides the particles but simulation time is still Some features still consume performance even if the feature is not rendering any more, e.g. change the resolution) and see what has effect.

Accurate profiling should be done in milliseconds (ms), Stat commands such as stat unit and stat fps give you some numbers to start with. Measure a few times to know how accurate your profiling is. The Pause command or Slomo 0.001 can be very useful In some cases, it might be even useful to change code (e.g. So it is better to profile in a game directly. an open Content Browser can add rendering cost) For example, a good profiling case is testing your game in standalone form on the target hardwareįor good profiling, it is best to setup a reproducible case isolated from things that can add noise to the results.

![]() The rest of the Bertram Road and bridge replacement project will continue. “Due to the age of the bridge, it was always a possibility that the structure could be damaged during the lifting and moving process, and that’s what happened.” “We are disappointed that the Blue Bridge most likely will not be moved and reused at the Nature Center as planned," said Linn County Assistant Engineer Garret Reddish. Engineering contractors will evaluate the bridge structure to make a final determination. Due to the damage sustained while lifting the bridge, the Linn County Secondary Road Department does not think the structure is salvageable. The 146-year-old Bertram “Blue” Bridge was to be moved to the Indian Creek Nature Center for use on the trail system at the Nature Center. Bertram Road was already closed to traffic – and still is – because it is an active construction site. Retrieved 14 November 2020.Today, as crews were lifting the Bertram “Blue” Bridge off its foundation as part of the planned bridge replacement and relocation project, the structure twisted and was damaged in the process.

Its simplicity is a plus particularly in the context of other PDF readers with numerous options and tools that do not help with the basic task of reading PDF. Edit, convert, join and read PDF files and even make, edit, and fill out forms. Utilize this software to make sure your drive is clear of useless software clutter while being able to accomplish the majority of PDF-related tasks.īut there’s no bar on the sidebar that gives easy access to pages or chapters as you can find in other programs like Adobe Reader. SlimPDF is the perfect solution for handling the majority of PDF requirements of users without the bulky demands, space-hogging, and resource-draining needs of other popular software. But, SlimPDF Reader stands on its own because of its small size of files and blazing speed. Two worthy of mention include NitroPDF as well as Javelin PDF Reader. If all that you can do using PDF documents is to open them occasionally, SlimPDF Reader is the best PDF viewer you can get. ![]() It’s highly likely that this program is clean. Edit, create, sign and keep track of documents in the office or while on the move. There are just a handful of buttons in the toolbar that allow the most basic functions such as turning pages or altering the width of the page to fit on the screen. Naturally, it is true that the SlimPDF interface is appealing due to its ease of use. Because of its low use of resources, this program can run the features described above at lightning-fast speed, which is much quicker than other PDF readers.

If you've tested your incubator for a few days as I recommended, you'll know that your incubator temp holds steady. Letting the temperature spike: This goes along with the first point actually, but does deserve it's own mention. ![]() I calibrate my hygrometers every year to keep my incubator humidity accurate. You should also be checking your thermometers for accuracy before using them. If it does not have one built in, I add 2 inside. If my incubator has a built in thermometer I add another one inside. Use 2 different thermometers/hygrometers to check it. To test an incubator, turn it on and leave it on for at least 48 hours. Now obviously if you're hatching in succession you don't need to stop and test between hatches, but if the incubator has been off for any length of time you need to test it before setting eggs. You want to make sure your incubator is holding steady before you add eggs to it. Settings can get bumped, the incubator shell could have developed a crack during storage or the heating element could have burned out. Whether it's a brand new incubator or the same one that you use every year, it needs tested before each hatch to make sure the temperature and humidity are correct. Not testing your incubator: Every incubator should be tested before every hatch. These are the ones that end badly every single time. Another year with those and I moved on to 1 then 2 cabinet incubators and I've learned quite a bit in all those years of hatching! Here are the 4 biggest mistakes I've made.

While it’s not explicitly written in the RFP, the winning companies are going to be those bidders who have deep experience and intimacy with the VA. The competition for SPRUCE is likely to be just as intense. When the VA competed CEDAR, there were 86 bidders and only four awardees. The VA will then select the eight highest technically rated offerors with a fair and reasonable price to receive an award. Volume III will be evaluated based on understanding of the project and feasibility of the approach. Offerors who are within the competitive range will move on to Technical Factor 3, which is the Code Challenge and Written Technical Approach. For the Price Evaluation, the government will be using past labor rates from the CEDAR contract as a reference point to determine if the fully burdened, direct labor rates proposed are fair and reasonable. After this, the VA will establish who are the most highly rated offerors and which labor rates are considered fair and reasonable. Those who receive a “Pass” on Technical Factor 1 will be notified and then the government will begin the evaluation of Technical Factor 2 and the Price Volume. While the government is taking a phased evaluation approach, bidders are required to submit their entire proposal at once, with exception of Volume III. There will be eight awards resulting from this solicitation, so competition will be fierce. Depending on your specific situation, it might be best to only submit a proposal for SPRUCE in one offer and put all your effort behind that bid. So, the solution that you develop for the two case studies for your prime bid must be different than your MPJV bid. In the event that a company is acting as a mentor or protégé in multiple proposals, none of those proposals will be considered for award.Īdditionally, case studies cannot be reused in multiple proposals. A company can only submit one MPJV proposal as either a mentor or protégé. This means no cross teaming, with one exception: companies can submit one offer as a prime, and another as a member of an SBA-approved Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture. VA is limiting offerors to only submitting one proposal for consideration. The VA is not limiting the use of JVs or CTAs, but they do have some other requirements that reduce the ability to team. Any missing rates or blanks on the spreadsheet will render the proposal non-compliant. The VA will evaluate Volume IV to determine if the LCAT rates are “fair and reasonable,” but bidders should allow room for discounting at the task order level to maximize their use of the contract. These rates are ceiling rates, and the VA will expect discounts at the task order level. Volume IV includes the pricing of various labor categories. Nonetheless, to be competitive, companies should already be anticipating what case studies and code challenges may be provided by the VA and should design the framework for a solution and prepare an approach to those anticipated case studies and code challenges. The Case Studies and the Code Challenge in Volumes I-III are not provided in the Draft RFP. Once offerors have been given notification of advancement to Technical Factor 3, within 72 hours the government will provide a copy of the Challenge Scenario which will require a quick 7-day turnaround. Volume III consists of a code challenge and written technical approach. While the draft RFP specified that the case study provided in Volume I must come from the prime, the Q&A issued on October 23rd clarified that the case studies in both Volumes I and II can come from either the prime or a sub. Volumes I and II are very similar in scope. Volume V: Solicitation, Offer & Award Documents, Certifications & Representations.Volume III: Technical Factor 3 – Code Challenge and Written Technical Approach.Volume II: Technical Factor 2 – Case Study and relevant supporting artifacts.Volume I: Technical Factor 1 – Case Study and relevant supporting artifacts.The SPRUCE proposal response consists of five Volumes: With the solicitation expected soon, we wanted to highlight some important areas of the proposal response, teaming requirements, how SPRUCE will be evaluated, and what it ultimately will take to win this pursuit. SPRUCE has bigger plans, with its main goal being to offer a vehicle for the VA to obtain top-notch digital products and services, with a ceiling value of $2.7 billion and eight awards, ultimately contributing to the VA’s ambitious modernization efforts. The SPRUCE vehicle builds on the current VA CEDAR IDIQ, which was awarded to four companies in 2021 with a ceiling of $247 million. SPRUCE stands for Secure, Performant, Reliable, and User-Centered Experiences. The Department of Veterans Affairs SPRUCE IDIQ is expected to be released any day now. ![]() |
