🧭 Built for Exploration and Discovery

Veles is designed to reward players who travel, scout, and take risks:

Massive biomes with long routes and distinct survival zones
A growing mix of regions including city chunk, swamps, forests, and random biomes spread across a huge world
Hidden loot placed around the map | caves, ruins, wrecks, cliffs, and dangerous corners
Supply crates positioned to encourage real exploration (not easy farming)
20+ artifacts hidden around the map for progression and challenge runs
Plenty of space for base building, outposts, tribe hubs, and long-term play

🦖 Creatures | Taming | Spawns

Vanilla spawns: All the core ARK creatures you expect are here (Rex, Giganotosaurus, and more).
Expansion creatures (ownership-based): Veles also includes selected creatures from ARK expansions | if you own that expansion, those creatures can spawn for you. If you don’t own it, they won’t appear.
Designed for taming journeys | long-range scouting, risky shortcuts, and rewarding routes

✅ Works Great With Your Setup

Play it your way: Single Player | Non-Dedicated | Dedicated Servers
Mod friendly: Built for strong compatibility with creature mods, stacks, and QoL mods
Made to run smooth: Optimised for stable performance across platforms

🔧 Active Development | Player Feedback Driven

Veles is a long-term project and I’m taking my time to build it right. Updates are shaped by player feedback | expect regular improvements, new areas, and continued polish over time.
