Ark: Survival Evolved's Next Patch Will Feature A 'Total Inventory Menu Redesign'

It's planned for Thursday. On Thursday, maybe, we'll have better menus. Thursday. On Thursday.

​

I've chosen a picture of one of Ark: Survival Evolved's giant snails for this particular news story. That's because Ark's next patch, v256, will among other things apparently provide a long, long, long overdue 'total inventory menu redesign' according to recently added notes to the Steam discussion post and this tweet from Studio Wildcard's Jeremy Stieglitz:

​

Seriously, Ark's menus and UI are kind of the pits, and while I understand Early Access provides games in an unfinished state and while I'm sure there were bigger coelacanth to fry during the development process, a redesign of the menu is quite welcome, late as it may be. Hence, the snail. Snails are slow.

For the record, here's a list of what else planned for the update, which is estimated to reach us on Thursday, March 30:

• Total Inventory Menu redesign
• Total Inventory Menu redesign
• Total Inventory Menu redesign
• Total Inventory Menu redesign
• Total Inventory Menu redesign
• Total Inventory Menu redesign
• Total Inventory Menu redesign

Ho ho.

Just kidding. Here's the real list:

• New Mechanic: Aquatic & Amphibious Creature Breeding
• New Dino: Equus!
• New Dino: Leedsichthys!
• New Dino: Ichthyornis!
• New Dino: Iguanodon!
• New Structures & Mechanic: Tek Underwater Bases
• New Structure: TEK Teleporter
• New Structure: TEK Mosa Saddle
• New Structure: Tek Power Generator
• Total Inventory Menu redesign (other UI's coming soon!)
• Flyer Nerf

Please note: those aren't my exclamation points.
