Found a Reddit post that gives a little info on Fortitude.
https://m.reddit.com/r/playark/comments/3as6b8/fortitude_we_need_some_science_in_here/
Basically, 70 Fort (35 points) gives about the same insulation as normal Hide armor.
And Torpor from berries (and I assume any Torpor inducing item) gets the following resistances with Fortitude. Note: All Fort is listed as Stat, so half that many points.
So even with 80 Fortitude a poison dart trap (which gives 240) would still give you 150 Torpor and knock you out.
And a Crossbow Tranq arrow would do about 100 and knock you out as well.
Although, it's said higher Fort recovers from Torpor faster, but rate is unknown, so you might not be out long unless they pump you full of it.

With 0 Fortitude you gain 7.5 Torpor from a narcoberry.
2 Fortitude 7.2 Torpor - 4% Reduction.
4 Fortitude 6.9 - 8% in total.
10 Fortitude 6.2 - 17.33% in total.
20 Fortitude 5.3 - 29.33% in total.
40 Fortitude 4.1 - 45.33% in total.
80 Fortitude 2.8 - 62.66% in total. (10 Berries 28.5)
120 Fortitude 2.2 - 70.66% in total. (10 Berries 21.8)

Server updated. Restarting now. Should be up in 5-10 mins.
I would say 10-20 would be on the low end. I have a 12 Fort (6 points) and it doesn't help at all for weather really, I can survive a sting or two by a Scorp though.
20-25 would be good for normal play but if you plan on being in the north a lot or fighting lots of Torpor then 30-35 should do. 40 points is the max I would put in though.
I used to live in the far north. I used 50 fortitude, which allowed me to use good hide and even a few pieces of flak armor.
This saves of a lot of weight vs fur armor and means you will win any pvp engagement against someone in fur armor, even if they have a lot of points in health.
If you don't live deep in the snow, you don't need anywhere near that amount of fortitude.

Yeah, I forgot Torpor is based on damage so wearing armor with high fort would make immune based on points.
Thanks Xist :D
Everything seems to be working so far. Had to check on my "lunch".
No new dinos sighted yet on a quick fly around the island.
Edited: Dire bear takes Carno kibble, they are not just in the cold zone. Manta is passive tame with angler gel. Use bug spray they are aggressive.
Alchemy table lvl 85, it makes 150% for the resources of things made in the mortar and pestle... in half the time.
Cannons look amazing can't wait to do some science with them.
Brood mother is summonable from beacons, not sure if that is how you get to the arena or if it drops her on the Beacon. I will not be doing science with that.

I'm a little bummed. I'm on the road and it's a 1.9GB download. Too much for my data plan. And I had just tamed an Argent last night, I hope he's alright. I locked him in a pillar cage with Thatch roofs.
If anyone cares to check on him for me he's at 30 Lat, 53 Long on the NW base of the mountain. Maybe a bit away from it, but not far.

The alchemy table is amazing. Operation Powerlevel to 92 will commence shortly!!!
If you don´t mind sitting in a fast food joint. You can download the patch for the price of a meal..... might take a little longer, but you won´t use your data
I should be on in a few hours Ill swing by and check on him.
Im stuck at work right now wishing I could play.
I feel your pain, a majority of my play time is in Hotels. It really sucks when you get into one with cappy internet.
Want to PVP but not lose any of your stuff?
Check out this thread about a new server I'm considering setting up.
If you like the idea, please post in that thread things you would like to see or would not like to see.

Server config updated, new mods added/updated. Server is restarting now, up in 5-10 minutes.
New config:
PVP DECAY!! If you don't login and render your base, it will eventually be simple for others to destroy it to clean up the map. Structures last 50% longer on ARK TEST than they do on official servers.
New mod:
Admin mod that makes it easier for me or other admins to help you guys. No effect on non-admin players.
Fixed mod:
Perfect hair! This has been requested from the start, but it has been broken. I've fixed it. You will now see an engram that lets you create a new item which is like a wardrobe. In this wardrobe you can craft lots of different hair styles. These are skins to put on your helmet, similar to the cowboy hat or a trike hat skin or whatever. Enjoy!

And after the recent announcement by WC
I wouldnt object to allowing us to export out toons.. and starting over.... ON THE CENTER!!
EC recently announced they will be making new official servers that will be on the map The Center. the map is 4 times the size of the current map and i think if we took our current level toons out of this map and restarted on that map it would be quiet a challenge and alot of fun!!
