Someone explained it somewhere I don't remember where, that if a new dlc map uses the same Rock or tree for example from a vanilla map, they copy pasted the files entirely for the dlc instead of just addressing the same model for use in the code. that's why it's 400 gigs, it's all the same files copy pasted

Lmao, that seems like a very inefficient way to make that. It's crazy to me that some mod authors have a better sense of optimization than the people who are making tons of money from the game. For example Hexen Mod's Ark Omega is under 200MB for honestly one of the best game overhauls for ark. *Also to clarify, you would think the company would want a game that runs well so that it sells better. I didn't mean the game devs specifically because they are often underpaid for the work they do.
