What's New in Dododex

2.8

February 18, 2026

What's New: - Built-in admin commands for dino and item - Item categories, including "Resources" (by popular demand) - Cloning Chamber cost calculator - Creatures now prominently display game version availability (ASA/ASE/UME) - Carryable by: Aureliax and Gigadesmodus - Tools are included in "top gatherers" lists again (Sorry! Those were accidentally removed!) - Additional info on foods and recipes like XP, stack size, health, food, and more. - Breeding and stats tabs now only display if data is available for a creature - On recipes, you can now tap an ingredient's icon to open that item - ASE single player presets added to settings - Visual design and icon updates Bug fixes: - Ads on the ARK Wiki (spawn maps, etc.) would sometimes open full-screen. This was a technical glitch on Dododex's side. These were not Dododex ads. - Images for some items were not displaying - Last selected food was sometimes not correctly remembered when switching creatures - Some creatures were displaying slightly incorrect "hits until flee"
