Studio Wildcard announces full Steam Workshop support for ARK: Survival of the Fittest, their competitive dinosaur survival spin-off. They point to the Ark mod tutorial and the Ark Unreal engine modding forum as places to look for help with this. They also say that as of now this is no longer a standalone game, as it is being reintegrated with the original Ark. Here's a bit:

Studio Wildcard announced today it will now offer full Steam Workshop support for the competitive dinosaur survival spin-off ARK: Survival of the Fittest (ARK: SotF) including mods, maps, and total conversions across all PC/Mac/Linux/Steam OS platforms. Starting today ARK: SotF will no longer be a standalone game, but be re-integrated into ARK: Survival Evolved (ARK: SE) so the developer is able to provide unlimited modding support which will then offer users the ability to freely take assets from ARK: SE and move them into ARK: SotF without restriction.

“We think that Steam Workshop support for Survival of the Fittest is a significant addition - it's pretty much the most-requested feature for the game at the present time,” said Jeremy Stieglitz, lead designer, programmer, and co-founder, Studio Wildcard. “We can now support unlimited modding with both games and modders have instant access to work with new content as it drops into either game.”

Reminder! Right now ARK: Survival Evolved is 50% off its retail price, making it the best deal ever on this dinosaur experience. Go buy it on Steam before the sale ends at 10 pm PST, Thursday, August 4, to start taming, training, riding and breeding dinosaurs!
