The ARK patch 262 has been released and I'll give you the highlights of this patch. Whats new and what did they change? Any important stuff I need to know?

Here is a recap of the 262 patch:
- New Achievement: TheCenter Guardians Achievement for defeating its bosses
- After Defeating TheCenter End Bosses, on any difficulty, you should have access to the Giga Bionic Skin.
- After Alpha Ascension, you should have access to the Rex Bionic Skin.
- Dragon boss no longer present on TheCenter
- Center Boss damage reduced by 33% versus TheIsland bosses
- Fixed Bosses so they no longer have random levels, but will scale correctly on game and server difficulty.
- Wyverns should now teleport to the Manticore Arena.
- Increased return-from-boss teleport pawn spread (less cases of being stuck when returning back to the Ob!)

- New commands to see where Dinos are when hibernated, as well as teleport to the nearest hibernated creature.
"cheat hiwarp raptor_character_bp_c" and
"cheat hibernationreport raptor_character_bp_c"

- Baby Wyverns no longer consume too much milk.
- Increased the capsule size of Pternadon to make sure it can't fit thru player sized door frames.

- 25 more element to build Tek Generator

- TEK Tapejara Saddle now has a torch socket

- Reduced Dolphin tamed run speed by 15%
- Dolphins don't spawn in underwater caves
- More Eels, Trilobites, and Euyrps in underwater overworld
- Reduce targeting range of AI in both underwater caves by 50%, and reduced spawn quantity in HARD cave specifically by 33%, also Eels in the hard cave now spawn in groups of 2, not 6.

- TheCenter Night has been made darker
- There is now a 25% chance of fog with any rain!
- When you already have a survivor (i.e. you have the respawn button visible), there is a confirmation dialog for when you "Create New Survivor" saying "Warning: This will destroy your previous Survivor, are you sure you wish to proceed?"
- FPV hands now enter a special 'dragging' anim pose when dragging a body.

- Torches on dino saddles now scare away Troodons.
- Attaching quality torches to saddles no longer converts them into primitive quality when the durability runs out.
