RR-Potions
ARK: Survival Ascended throws you into a brutal prehistoric world where every advantage counts. Whether you are battling a Giga, breeding the perfect Rex, or simply trying to survive the swamp, the grind can feel overwhelming. The RR-Potions mod is designed to cut through that grind, offering a massive toolbox of craftable consumables that let you tweak nearly every aspect of your gameplay. From instant tames to full creative mode for non-admins, this add-on puts powerful QoL features right at your fingertips.
This mod is built around a single, dedicated structure: the RR-Potion Smithy. Once you place this crafting station, you unlock access to the entire catalog of potions. The Smithy itself requires level 1 to craft, costing just 5 Engram Points. Each individual potion engram is unlocked at level 5 for a single Engram Point, making the mod incredibly accessible from the very start of your session. You do not need to grind for hours to start enjoying the benefits.
Core Potions for Taming and Breeding
One of the most frustrating parts of ARK is managing baby dinos and taming timers. RR-Potions addresses this head-on with several game-changing brews. The InstantTame Potion instantly sets a dino's food to zero, which is the final step in the taming process. The DinoImprint Potion is a breeder's dream, setting imprint to 100% and instantly growing a baby to adulthood with full health. You can also use the Remating Potion to reset the mating cooldown on your creatures, allowing for back-to-back breeding sessions.
For those looking to perfect their combat mounts, the mod offers a suite of stat-altering options. The DinoHealth Potion sets your creature's health to 100% instantly, while the Dino LVL Potion resets all stats and levels a creature up to its maximum potential. If you have a dino that is unconscious or stuck, the DinoStandUp Potion sets torpidity to zero and gets them back on their feet. You can even change a dino's gender with the GenderChange Potion to make breeding pairs easier to manage.
Speed and Utility Enhancements
Movement speed is a hot commodity in ARK, and the SpeedPotion line offers a range of options. You can choose from 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%, 225%, or 250% speed boosts for your dinos. These are toggleable, so you can activate them when needed and deactivate them to save the effect. The Weight Potion doubles your carry capacity for 30 minutes, and the Water Potion provides temporary underwater breathing, clear vision, and doubled swim speed, which is perfect for ocean exploration.
Combat and resource gathering also get a boost. The Damage Potion increases your damage output by 25% for 30 minutes, while the Crafting Potion multiplies your crafting speed by four. The Stamina Potion regenerates 50% of your or your dino's stamina instantly, and the XP Potion grants a massive 999 experience points, usable by both humans and dinos.
Survival, Protection, and Utility Brews
Survival in ARK is not just about combat; it is about enduring the elements. The Cold Protection Potion and Heat Protection Potion provide increased insulation and slow down food or water consumption, respectively. The Radiation Potion offers protection for you and your pets in hazardous zones, and the ToxicImmunity Potion shields you from poisonous plants, mushrooms, bees, swamp fever, leeches, and even electrocution for 30 minutes.
The mod also includes several unique utility options. The Admin Stealth Potion makes you and your dino invisible to other players, perfect for sneaking past hostile tribes. The GCM Potion grants non-admin players access to Creative Mode, which can be toggled on and off. For those tired of being harassed by pests, the DontAttackMe Potion stops Ichthyornis and Pegomastax from attacking you. There is even a Suicide Potion for a quick respawn and a Gamble Chibi Potion that gives you a random chibi-dino.
Progression and Reset Options
RR-Potions also helps you manage your character's progression. The Engram Potion instantly teaches you all vanilla engrams, while the Unlock Potion variants let you learn all hairstyles, beards, and emotes. The ExplorerNote Potion collects all explorer notes for you. If you want to respec, the Infinity Mindwipe resets your engram points and can be used infinitely, and the Dino Mindwipe does the same for your creatures. The HairGrow Potion magically regrows your beard and hair, and the DontGrowUp Potion stops a baby from aging.
When you are ready to enhance your server, the CreatureScan Potion gives you the temporary ability to scan surroundings for creatures, making hunting specific dinos much easier.
Installation and Compatibility
To get started, you will need to download RR-Potions from the mod database and add it to your server or single-player save. The mod is designed to work with the latest versions of ARK: Survival Ascended and is generally compatible with most other mods that do not alter the same core systems. If you are using a mod that changes engram structures or crafting mechanics, you may need to check load order to ensure everything works smoothly. The mod is lightweight and does not add any new map or world-altering content, so it should not conflict with major overhaul mods.
For those looking for a streamlined setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for RR-Potions, letting you add the mod to your profile without manually moving files. The launcher also maintains version compatibility, ensuring that RR-Potions updates are applied automatically so you can focus on playing rather than troubleshooting. This makes managing your mod list significantly easier, especially if you are running multiple add-ons.
Once installed, you simply need to learn how to install the engrams in-game: craft the RR-Potion Smithy, place it, and then craft the potions you want. The mod is intuitive and user-friendly, designed for both casual players and hardcore server admins. With its vast array of options, RR-Potions for ARK: Survival Ascended is an essential addition for anyone who wants to customize their experience, remove tedious grind, and focus on the fun parts of survival.
