In my experience no
Good to know, Iβve always used a mod for it and was APPALLED at how fucking laggy the config s
.
Any hints as to why my server won't update after the server update yesterday?
I don't think it's been pushed yet, arkdedicated.com/version still shows 348.2
@humble thicket
This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment (looking for group/server) channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.
k thx
I think its 1 wild at a time but multiple tamed ones 
wiki says 1 wild except on crystal and val 
I believe so, you may need to cryo it to have a second one spawn
wiki says this "On single player if you've already tamed one you will have to cryopod it and wait 24 hours of real time gameplay before another wild one will spawn" no idea what the change would be on servers or if its just clarifying π€·
wiki has these settings as well
That's the one question, what's the other? π
ask the question, don't ask to ask :P
cryo sickness is the debuff you get when you throw one out. if you throw out 2 dinos within 5 minutes the second will have cryosickness
not sure with the supply crate thing, would just leave it default.
I wouldn't enable PvE cryosickness. its just a pain
download beacon. you can then do it easily.
alr thanks
I believe drops are in the free version as well

I just told a blue sword blueprint to install in the fabricator, and it dissapeared.
it's not showing up in any of the folders in the fabricator either.
what did I do!? D:
Hmm, I have never had that happen. In the future I wouldn't recommend installing bps in thigs
it wouldn't let me craft it.
OH.
I figured it out.
It's there, but it's hidden from me since I mindwiped recently and did not relearn the sword engram.
so with the blueprint installed in the fabricator, I can't craft it till I learn the engram.
That's stupid.
Yeah, if you leave it un installed you can craft it jaja
it wasn't letting me craft it though.
Plus if something breaks the fabricator and it is installed you lose the bp
is there any dino mindwipe mod that respecs the levels before taming it?
Mindwipe My Dino
@ebon flume /\
It also adds a Mindwipe for players that only wipes stats. read the mods descriptio for more details.
Yepp that one does not what I'm asking for
what are you asking for?
Thid
The non tamed lvls
The wild ones
There's a mod with an admin item that does that
That's awesome, do you happen to have a name of it? Google can't find it for me
Extra QoL Items, but admin spawn only. Some sushi item
Thanks dude, I'll check it out
how do i turn off Assension required in beacon my level dont pass 36 because of it
anyone else having issues with trees spawning inside built structures and they are unable to be removed?
at 66/61 on gen 2, I have a large base and its been here for a while, for some reason at random, all the trees and shrubs have respawned through my foundations and I cannot remove them, I harvest them one time, it gives me the wood/thatch but they are still there. I can hit them, and it makes the sound as if im harvesting wood and thatch from a tree. but they are stuck there.
I havent messed with respawning radius settings/code for natural resources near a base, so im not sure what would cause this.
does anyone know the teleport coords for the king dinopithecus arena on lost island?
Are we allowed to advertise our servers on here?

Thank you π
I'd assume you can access and copy the save files, but that's just a guess so I am not really helpful here. Lol
If you are hosting it yourself probably the best way is to make copies of the files. I don't know if asm has a way to make backups or not. Just make sure you get all the character files and tribe files along with the map file
I am not really understanding your questionπ
You found loot from an unofficial in your upload?
There isn't really a way to prevent that from the single player side. I guess if you don't want to use the loot you could pull it out and despawn it
he never did figure it out
help, my cuddle interval is messed up
wait maybe it's ok idk
what should it be at if your maturation is 3x?
So I'm tryna figure out how to mod
Make or download?
Make
Or find some specific mods for issiwas I have with the game
I want to just make a simple mod that lets me A. Let dinos wander without mating, B. Not remove shoulder mounts when you leave, and C. Open doors when you go towards them
I also wanna make a map at some point but that requires much more effort
A is probably possible, B probably not, C exists in S+ and the various forks of s+ that exist
in order to mod, you need to download the very large ARK Devkit off of the epic games launcher (364 gb off of a fresh install)
from there, i'd recommend visiting the ark modding discord
There is on official a 15 minute transfer timer, before you are able to transfer with items in your inventory. Is there any setting in ASM to enable to recreate this effect?
Holy- that one off the amount of days in a year, did you forget a decimal point or is it insanely big
no mistake there
and it only gets bigger
you can't compress it like you can with ark
and it also takes forever to load
Thats so silly
Well then, do you know of any mods that let dinos wander without mating?
Cuase I'm not coding that myself
looking through the workshop, i don't see any. however, i know that it's possible, as kraken's better dinos allows dung beetles to wander without mating
you could also just neuter the dinos
But a still want to breed them, just not all the time
I wanta yard full of dodos all my dinos wandering about without having to worry about them breeding
dino storage NAT can pick up the babies
i bought a 2tb ssd for ark + adk combo
there's only 360gb left (albeit with a couple other things installed too)
1tb wouldn't have been enough for ark + kit.
we don't even have fjordur yet either. i know of people getting into the 600g range, and that was without the last 4 or so dlcs
some mod cooks are an overnight activity, though fortunately none of mine reached that stage
@turbid charm #pvp-discussion , this is server setup help.
Is there a way to change the slot count on auto and heavy turrets?
If you happen to be on Steam and use S+ there are configs for the mod that increase slot counts.
I dont use any mods just the vanilla structures
Ahh well, not sure there's any way to do so then.
@soft lark use #bobs-with-probs or #ark-survival-ascended, this channel is for server setups.
Oh
Has anyone heard of a mod that allows a single storage pool that is accessible from different places on the map? So I can deposit or stuff in one location and get to it from other bases around the map?
Is there somewhere I can get a life sized war map
on unoffical, overriding the difficulty to 10 what's the highest wyvern egg level you can get?
Its part of the SS and S+ Mod Item Translocator - This will allow transfer of items from one translocator to another of either the same tribe, or allied.
does some one know how to join a fibercraft server i cant find any in the unofficial serverlists
same nothing appears when i seach it up, does anyone know how to help???
ποΈποΈ wow
Does anyone have code for 1-2 tek giga on gen 1
dm send me a pic of what ur searching
How do I summon a griff on my public server
Thanks, but that is a one-way transfer thing. I was thinking like a "bank" in an MMO, where anything you deposit at one spot is available at any and all other spots all the time.
sorry to ping you @floral warren , but since you're the expert, i have a question regarding spawns. Is ConfigAddSpawnEntriesContainer like ConfigSubtractSpawnEntriesContainer in that you can only have one line referencing each spawner? Or can you have multiple ConfigAddSpawnEntriesContainer instances?
One line only, all edits must be in one entry
alright, ty π
Chibi-Pets are a type of Item added in ARK: Winter Wonderland 4, appearing in other Events since.
depends on server settings. most use difficulty 5 which yes is 150. these are questions for #bobs-with-probs though since they're unrelated to setup.
enable cheats and use any of the many spawn commands here https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#Dino_Commands depending on what suits your purpose
The commands found here can be entered in the console. This allows to do actions that aren't allowed otherwise, e.g. cheating.
i put bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=true and now players arent spawning with picks and torch engrams, how to solve that?
Enable the torch and pick engrams
with what? ive tried EngramEntryAutoUnlocks and OverrideNamedEngramEntries but they wont show up
Overridenamedengraqmentries, you need to set hidden=false
ill try it but shouldnt the bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=true have done that automatically?
Well no because the whole point of the config is 'disable it unless you specifically tell it to'
doesnt it "disable unless something is done with it"? i havent specified whether or not hidden is true for anything else, and it all shows up
if I am an admin on my server is there a way to see cheats used by other admins?
Then potentially you didn't add it correctly? not sure
Trough Nitrado
Usually you have to go through your hosting service and turn on logging for commands. It's not usually super hard to implement
hey can someone help me plz im trying to recode a gen 2 ark server and im trying to code the costom drops for it im not having any luck
Okay thank you! Also, do you know if I have my server set for single player does that automatically give all players admin rights? I am using GPortal and I have admin code and stuff set in my server settings, but individuals are still able to enable cheats and use them. I am wondering if single player mode is what is allowing that.
Hmm, I don't think that would cause it, but maybe?
'single player mode'? Singleplayer settings? Thats just stats and rates. you might not have set an admin password
or, it was guessable/made public at some point
That's what I thought, but I didn't know if there was anything that could mess that up.
okay cool I read someplace that if it was single player mode that cheats don't have to be enabled to be used. I just wanted to confirm that was incorrect. We have single player mode enabled so I wanted to ensure cheats could not be used.
Singleplayer as in 'booted in singleplayer'. Not singleplayer settings which can even be turned off in SP
the confusion often leads people to believe SP is inherently heavily boosted
I am still very new in server settings and stuff, so yes very confusing for me still. I have single player mode enabled in GPortal for taming times and so on. Not sure if that is the same thing as single player mode
this is singleplayer
okay then no that is not what I have
you're thinking of this
this is not a server and is played completely alone. shuts down when you leave. like, actually singular player
I can't post a screen shot here, but it it is a setting I checked in GPortal, that says bUseSinglePlayerSettings. It only says relates to faster taming, breeding, XP, etc. Just making sure this also does not affect admin permissions for all players. I am assuming it does not
Single Player is a Game Mode that allows Survivors to play ARK offline. All features of the online game are present, including mods and one-player Tribes. Screenshots taken via NVIDIA Ansel may only be captured in Single Player.
okay cool that is what I was looking for. Thanks!
One last question. Will changing tribe governance settings mid game mess up structures already build and dinos tames for a bunch of people? Should that only be done on a fresh game?
The exact result depends on what you're changing, put it can be done without much negative impact easily enough.
thank you
anyone able offer any info on this?
A player of ours traveled to Gen 2.. they loaded in and a few seconds after instant crash.. if they log into the sever it loads em in (they can see dinos etc) but crashes instantly again
how often does everyone wipe dinos on your server?
@somber belfry #800537518843756544 #800537627752398899
To get all the sets in the drop make sure the min & max are the same and have prevent duplication ticked. For the items in the set it is the same process, have prevent duplication on and make sure the min and max entries is equal to the amount of items in the drop
I don't quite understand the world buffs on gen 2. if you have a server with mature speed of 4 . is then when you activate the buff to 6? because it seems to me that it is sometimes not active
depends
default should just add the number π€
i do that and it still doesnt make all of them gaurenteed
werid it works for me
are all the item weights the same?
You can dm me a pic as well
after the summer event ends, if i reactivate it manually on my server, will it stack the rate multiplication? like if my server is already set to 3x will it become 9x?
The rates should only affect Officials at all.
could i activate past summer events on my server instead?
just for the colors really
or how do you like set custom spawn colors
It's all the same thing, there's no like 2018 Summer bash option or anything.
If you activate the summer event it should just give colours, though yeah.
Unless Wildcard changes something after this year when they are done with events, you should be able to do so.
is it possible to set your own custom spawn color list?
Getting fancy like that with servers I am unfortunately unfamiliar with. 
oh, the wiki lists the colors for each event
the solid bright red and solid bright blue kinda ruin the summer colors
I've never been a fan of event colours in general, I like to mutate. π
and what amount is it if it says false? what value do you have to reckon with?
would assume it adds to whatever it says. so if it is 3x it'll add 2 :P
I don't play much gen2 tho π€·
im new to the game
only played for a month or two after release
no idea pvp tips, this is for settings help anyway :P try #pvp-discussion, #bobs-with-probs , or youtube
oh ok sorry and thanks π
Sort of. Without mods, you can either activate an event colour, or rewrite every spawn in the game and hope your chosen colour set for that spawner works
Even with mods, I don't think any can let you create a colourset, just increase what you can choose from; or, just.. randomise everything
@astral cobalt #pvp-discussion, this is for server setup help
man can you at least tell me
Hello, i have a problem. Im new in game. Can ya please explain how to create a server so everyone can connect? (Like online servers)
Anyone know when unofficial servers are going to get the 348.4 update
I apologize to bother you again but in case you are curious my game is still running very well!
How long does it need until they respond to a bug-ticket? :(
They don't handle unofficials. And a bug report is just that, a report. They don't generally respond to those.
I wonder when they gonna make so we can spay Rock Drakes...π
Not really a setup issue, more of #bug-reports.
does anyone know how I can increase the levels after tame/maturation. Like the wiki says dinos can gain 73 levels after, and X-creatures apparently can gain 88. but is there a way to change this number? Thanks
everything is 88 now, you might be looking at Fandom which is no longer updated. use ark.wiki.gg. as for levels, https://discordapp.com/channels/729837326120910915/762871715305881631/949122526443880510
yeah it's been 88 since genesis 2 has been released.
ark.wiki.gg is the official wiki with moderators, fandom isn't
oh ok thanks for telling me, but still is there a way to increase that amount?
oh im dumb. thanks lol
hey, is there any mod like "ragnarok +" for other maps? playing fjordur and want to get mostly all dlc mobs into that map + resources
Can i use a waterwell and some crops to irrigate my crops or do i need to bring water over from a water source
Some pipes*
Do you have s+ or ss on your server?
Yeah messed up the lines a bit haha
anyone have any music experience im trying to make a song for my brothers bday can someone help me fr
~ActiveEvent=brothers_bday
?SongWritten=True
I don't think there is a way to make that work
You could use cactus broth and that might help
does cactus broth work for mounts?????
Unfortunately not
how do i make cactus broth work on mounts
I don't think you can
π
what is the best graphic setting bc everything looks very low res and unsharp for some reason
maximum graphics
Well that's ARK for ya
Think t's just u. Mine doesn't look blurry
well yeah but its not fanart
Honestly think it's fine as long as it's ARK related
Check resolution scale
its 100 but1080p
@copper smelt #pvp-discussion, this channel is for setup help
@fossil geyser #ark-survival-ascended, this is for setup help.
@olive talon oh shit my bad
Or maybe #building-discussions π€ thanks π
Congratulations
Who are these announcements intended for? "v348.5 - 07/26/2022 - Minor version for servers"
The last one didn't seem to apply to unofficial servers. Is it just for people on official?
My server is on patch 348.2 but steam is on patch 348.3 so I cant even join my own server....
those are the right ones tho? #patch-notes they have different numbers but are the correct ones.
there should be updates for the server as well.
oh yea I didnt notice
they need to add official and unofficial tags to them, steam still dont have the v348.5 for unofficial, arkdedicated.com/version has been updated this time though and it was not updated for the v348.4 patch
yeah, I'd prefer only get pinged by those notices for unofficial patches π
Same
if you run an ark server, how would you reward donations towards the server?
Don't. It's P2W. It may get you more donations but it will make your server look pretty crappy. I only reward server boosts and inviting your friends.
My server keeps crashing because of "Signal 11 Caught". Anyone know what to do?
nope but wonder if that was the crash fix that official servers got today
It happened 2 hours after the crash fix so I hope not
google says Signal 11 (SIGSEGV, also known as segmentation violation) means that the program accessed a memory location that was not assigned to it.
I honestly got no idea what that means.
dont know my servers are unofficial so i didnt get the last 2 server updates
Same.
im not sure what it means either but from what i understand its when a program tries to read/write to ram that the system has not giving access to said program
can somebody help me test if my server is publicly available?
Soooo what's the issue on ps unofficial ?
Can't transfer, coding is fine, cluster IDs all match
anyone else unable to load into servers after this update today? xD
Unable to transfer*
Looks like STEAM maintenance. @halcyon orbit @bitter bear
That's what some are saying.
PS is having the issue as well, may need to contact server hosts and see if it's their end also.
How do i make tek gigas, chalk golems, and ice golems transferable
don't think you can. mods would be the only way which aren't on playstation
i just wasted 12+ hours looking for a good tek giga and now i cant uncryo it
bruh
Why cant wc just fix these things lmao
pretty sure its intended π€·
pretty sure that part is a bug. see
Bruh why does wc do this
I'm running playstion servers tho not steam. Thru gportal
How tf you got a tel giga
i got them spawning on my server
There's a coding for that?
just wasted 12+ hours looking for a good tek giga just to find out i cant transfer them
Imuh need to figure that one out. And add gen 1 to my cluster lol
theyre useless
you cant transfer them
nvm the hours i wasted trying to get it to work
Oh lmao
yh they turn into a raptor cryo when you try to transfer the cryo
can tek canteens come from gen 2 loot crates?
I believe so
Case #26629 @wispy ridge has been muted for 1 hour.
Reason: Posting a unauthorised Discord invite link
Because itβs not a natural spawn
I mean they even fucked up natural spawns in the past lol
Like cwyvs
Patchnotes say new version .. but i still have 348.2 , when update get still same version no new
any other have same problems
That's for official servers, unofficial servers don't have an update
Really... who cares if our servers get some crazy Disconection this last weeks
Shame on Wildcard @proven prawn @zealous aurora
also we read so many times that they have network problems but they newer say that this is a game bug
Unofficial never got the 348.4 one either, you know because exploits are only on official servers
@humble thicket #735196277221883964
Is there ANY way at all to to have dinos/structures to just disappear when the timers are up? Not claimable or just decay so new people can reach end game day 1?
can you transfer between unofficial servers ?
Depends if the owner has it enabled, in most cases then yes you can as long as it's within your cluster
cluster?
I see
A server which has 10 different maps you can transfer seemlessly between is a cluster and a server on its own is simply a server
Anyone else having issues with food spoilage being high and baby consumption rates also high, even after adjusting rates? (on Fjordur, specifically)
Looking for a good coder for fiber need be active if you show you are good enough will start to pay β€οΈ

@vestal pond check #800538767252389888 , this channel is for setup help
Port forwarding depends mostly on your router and security settings, you could look up a couple YouTube videos on how to do that, but you woukd need to find out how to do it specifically for your router
Thanks=p
my client keeps crashing when I join my server which is on the new version (348.5)

@fluid badge
Please select a platform role in #role-assignment to unlock channels for patch notes, unofficial server ads, recruitment and LFG for your specific platform.
Is there a complete list of Fjordur spawn entries? Or at least the ones that work? Im trying to have Mana's and Bloodstalkers spawn but I'm pretty sure I have their spawn entries wrong.
I'm using "DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_C" for Bloodstalkers and "DinoSpawnEntriesSnow_C" for Managarmr's
Does the wiki not have them listed?
Or if you have access to a laptop, you could try beacon as well
It does but it's incomplete and has a mix of different pre-"fixes"
The wiki.gg? Not fandom
oh i was using fandom
Does beacon give you code to copy and paste?
Yep it does! Also has tutorials in the app, but unfortunately you do have to have a laptop/pc, as you can't download it on xbox or mobile
I'm on windows, i'll try to use it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Should be able to download it using the link I sent above, it does have a free version as well as a one time premium payment
Ok, thank you. I'm trying to make Fjordur an every package in one experience considering it already has a lot of dinos from DLC's.
Totally understand π
@olive talon why are there no videos
Oop wrong person
@bleak ivy
Sorry country
That doesnβt make much sense
people would bait-and-switch post nsfw videos
it's already difficult to moderate everything
don't want to require mods to watch every video too
especially since you can upload things like the entirety of morbius on discord
That is Dumb as ||redacted||. ||redacted||es ruining it for everyone
That would take forever to moderate lol
There we go. It seemed to like that one
that's how it goes
people already have enough ways to break rules, no need to give them another
But let's bring the conversation back to the topic of the channel 
anyone just up for talking im a bit bored
#general is a great place for that
each server is different but most of the time they do
Okay so I'm running a dedicated server on the Win10 version of the game. I've been trying to do a couple things but none of them are working. If anyone needs the code I'm using just ask.
- I'm trying to increase the tame limit for the tribe, from 250 to 3000.
- I'm trying to change the stack sizes of a few items.
- I'm trying to add custom spawns for creatures not on Fjordur.
- Disable cryo sickness
I'm fairly sure my code is correct but maybe it's not in the right spot. I have added things to game.ini and gameusersettings.ini in the past so I'm not sure why this new code is different.
do i type activeevent=summer or whatever into the console, or does it go in ini? and will it affect rates or just colors/items?
man thats different from server to server
ini/launch option and not rates
So if I have a private server with one map running and finish playing it, can I upload my stuff to an obelisk and then change the map? Will I be able to download stuff on the new map?
Using g-portal if that's of interest
Looking for a coder? Let me help you out.
I can do anything you would want.
- custom engram recipes
- custom drops
- editing clusters
- custom Dino spawns
- custom fishing loot
- harvest/xp/taming rates
- fiber craft
As long as itβs possible, I can get it done for you.
Hit me up to set your server up, or be your long term coder.
Message me for a quote
When "?PreventDownloadSurvivors=False", can I upload and download my character or no? (ping me if you answer please)
I think this way you can upload and download
okay thanks
I'm trying to put some code on gameusersettings.ini but it's not working. I'm trying to increase the tame limit from 250 to 3000 per tribe but it's not working. Here's the code:
MaxTamedDinos=4000
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=3000
Can anyone help me?
are undedicated sessions not crossplay between epic games and steam?
They are, just do not work
For a server being hosted on windows version, is it possible to remove croysickness or at least drastically reduce the timer? I have tried the pc command lines but they dont seem to work. or am i entering them in the wrong section of the gameusersettings file?
I thought it worked as long as, IF its a steam server that it doesnt have mods installed, as epic version doesnt support mods (unless that has changed since i last checked)
It's just non dedicated servers specifically. Not anything to do with mods. Dedicated servers and unofficials (without mods) can still crossplay steam and epic. This just happens to be yet another bug with nondedicated servers.
Oh thats weird but not surprising π
PvE shouldn't have cryosickness, I am not sure about pvp as I use DSv2 instead of cryopods, since steam.
Okay thank you, guess its another console gets the short end of the stick, but hey at least i could make it pve and allow tribe wars and other settings to closely mimic pvp
Someone else here may very well know, I just didn't want you to think I was intentionally ignoring your question π
I've done a bunch of searching and asking on this and most say the same. Thank you for the help. Come on Ark 2 with cross-platform mods!! π

im trying to use the grinder with the "grind all" button. but nothing happens, ive tried the s+ and standard one. how does the grind all button work?
it grinds items in the grinder.
as i said, it does nothing
its on, and basemats like stone and so on
i can produce flint from stone by pressing on the flint blueprint
would like to have "grind all" work

Does anyone know the setting that will allow cliff plats in Rag labyrinth?
yo, im looking for a "modpack" that give the game a more primitive gameplay, but different from primitive+ cuz i want to play with a friend
Anyone know if there is a plug in that will let you give ORP to people based on permissions?
what are mods that are similar to primal fear or dox?
those are called overhauls. a few i can think of off the top of my head that still work are ark omega, ark eternal, reclamation, extinction core (with an additional mod that effectively patches it to work)
hey so i haven't played in about 5 years what are like standard rates now for unoffical
There is not really a standard rate for unofficials, some like high rates, medium, low, its mainly just personal preference and find one you like. If you're looking, create a lfg in #735196255483068497, or have a look through #800537518843756544/ #800537627752398899 .
#role-assignment there are recruitment channels
Hey I have a few questions. I am running a dedicated server on windows 10 and it's going pretty well except for 1 thing. The tame limit. We have 6 people in one tribe but separate bases because we are all friends and do things together, however the tame limit is stuck at 250. And to make things worse there are like 50 take slots being taken up by who knows what.
Is there any way to increase the tame limit? Messing with the .ini files are not working at all.

Hey so I'm on ps4 and if I make a dedicated server can I also play on it or no?
@delicate creek there's a launch option to auto dinowipe on restart
don't remember it atm but I'll look
alright, put -ForceRespawnDinos into your launch parameters
you know how to do that?
no, i dont
(i should really make myself a list of copypastas for this)
okay. so you're on steam, correct?
correct.
alright. right click on ark on the leftmost sidebar (while the game's closed)
mhm
select properties
yep
alright, do you see a text box at the bottom for launch paramaters?
yep
lets go, perfect
just checked, unfortunately, it didnt work. thank you for your time though!
Does anyone know why I painted my dino as baby it lost it colour and now adult wonβt show paint on it but I can paint everything else ?
When I try paint it it stays normal
Did you cryopod it?
No I can tho
Iβve never had that issue before. Maybe it bugged because it was painted before
Yeah not sure I can paint like all my shadow manes and stuff just not my wyvern
Gonna try cryo pod it
It work thanks so much
U the only person that came up with that great thanks bro
Does anyone know if I go in single player get all dino and stuff I need go to upload and go in any server
Your stuff from singleplayer can only be transferred between singleplayer saves and unofficial servers that are open, which are few. This is because you could hypothetically spawn in it all.
Yeah ok thanks
Because I host an non dedicated server and was able to move my character to the server Iβm now on
Does anyone know why I paint my wyvern green come on the server after like an hour gone back to normal colours ?
Are you painting a color region it doesnβt use?

Anyone willing to code an Xbox 25x server
What?
does anyone have an ini to make it so that x creatures take the same amount of damage and do the same amount of damage as normal creatures for gen1
WhT does apply single player settings mean ?
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Single_Player it does a few changes to settings.
what do you need help with?
What are you offering?
If youβre an admin of an unofficial server . Stop making your server stay on day one . Its pathetic to those that are searching for a fresh server to start on .
Cheers
I need of server assistance
Playing on xbox, have tried running non dedicated and dedicated on xbox.. but when we go to join ark can't find the session in the list.
Had a friend set up the Microsoft version on his server, but it seems to be the same issue. It's not showing up in the session list.
should make a medal channel for ark clips
right map, and gamemode?
Tried the any maps and any mode , tried the specific map I requested and the previous setting, tried that with all server type settings .. tried typing in the server name in the search bar.. still says no session found
Do I need to do some advanced setting in the xbox?
have you tried joining via the friendslist? for the most part to appear in the server list you need to either get lucky or wait long enough (generally 24 hours I believe
) might need to port-forward as well :P
He has the specific ports open on his side, all players joined via gt from friends list, but it wasn't available earlier this morning
So im playing on the new map and i can't tame a Dung beetle. i tried a few forced tame codes but nothings working. does anyone have any suggestions or an explanation why?
Is a server?
no i'm on a single local sever
Idk then sorry
is it in a cave?
I tried in the cave then i tried after i grabbed it and brought it back to my base. the option to feed it from my toolbelt won't show up and the force tame won't work on it. i tested it on anoutheer dino and it worked fine so its definatly a bug or glitch with the Dungbeetle.
Its ok I keep finding other bugs on the map. I'm just going to go back and play on the older maps until they can patch the new map and fix the problems
so theres nothing but contradicting info on google....so with unoffical and offical which is the biggest map in ARK? on said it was moded valhala then genisis 2 THEN lost island? Im currently on lost island but would love something even way bigger
i added '-activeevent=Summer' to my .ini file but the event colors didn't come back :(
because a lot of cave creatures cant be tamed. not a bug.
overlevelled spawners are usually set to make the creatures untameable so you can't get level 600 arthros and shit.
get one from another cave. or potentially it was aggroed
#role-assignment then channels under #bulletin-board-rules
I've never had a problem before.
does anyone know any non dead na pvp servers
then you've never tried to tame something in an untameable cave.
Go check out the volcano cave on Gen1. great example. half the creatures are randomly untameable π
hey do you guys know of any options...so my isp is crap and they dont allow portforwarding and they are the only ones here...so when we start our game everyone knows where i am 24/7...anyone know of a mod to get rid of the host name....i know its to help with tethers for the player to find their way back BUT we have the max tether at 99.0 which covers like most of the map so its pointless to have
Does running a dedicated server work like a non dedicated one where i can play on the same computer its running on?
im trying to get this -ClusterDirOverride= to work
start ShooterGameServer.exe "Aberration_P?AllowCaveBuildingPVE=true?SessionName=********** (Aberration)?MaxPlayers=35?AltSaveDirectoryName=Aberration?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6.0?DifficultyOffset=1.0?AllowHitMarkers=true?ServerAdminPassword=pass?QueryPort=27018?DestroyUnconnectedWaterPipes=false?ShowFloatingDamageText=true?Port=7781?listen" -NoBattlEye -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=11111 -activeevent=none -UseVivox -noundermeshkilling -ClusterDirOverride=C:\ArkServers\clusters
were do i put the configs.
what im trying to do is have aberration to have diffrent configs from the other 2 servers.
i have fjordur and extiction but i want aberration to have diffrent config from the rest
do anyone have g portal issues?
Clusterdiroverride is not for server save data, it's for the data the servers in tue cluster need so you can transfer between them, altsaveditectoryname is for separating save info
can someone pls teel me why i cant play ark online it always says check account privileges
So is that for if you have 2 server running on the same PC let's you transfer over to another server
hello, i have a question. I can be unbanned if the ban was issued incorrectly
Is that why I can't transfer to the abration server
Clusterdiroverride is to change the default location of where transfer data is stored, I use it for mounting a NFS share for my servers that run on a different PC
Download the server program and yeah
were is it stored by default
im trying to hook up 2 server running on the same pc together.
i can transfer from fjordu to extinction but when i try to transfer to aberation my play does not transfer it ask me to make a new surviver.
Not sure were default is, but there should be a folder with the same name as your cluster id
yeah found that and i hooked up aberation to C:\Users\bevan\Desktop\ark server 17\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Evolved Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Saved\clusters
is that right and in the folder clusters has a folder with the id in it
is there a way to have a diffrent config for each world ?
I haven't tested it but the ?altsaveditectoryname=save2 should let you have a different config
It should have everything thing the normal saved dir has
thats just for keeping each world not stacking on each other
All my clusters are on there own VM so haven't had to figure out the config file part
idk what to do.
sorry for being such a noob.
can you explain to me how to get all my servers to be able linked with transferring
do i need all of the to have -ClusterDirOverride= and all point to the same folder ?
I would, but with then all being on the same PC not sure if it's needed they all using default. For different configs I don't see a way of doing that without having multi installs of the dedicated server
yeah i have a second install of dedicated server ill have to work this out tomorrow thank you for the help
With multiple installs going to need to use the clusterdiroverride so they are all looking in the same dir

How hard is to make a simple mod using the oficial dev kit of ARK survival?
depends ENTIRELY on what you want to do
and assumes you have a spare 500gb ssd lying around unless you want to torture yourself with an HDD
heyy question i am setting up an ark dedicated server for my friends
but when i started the dedicated server it doesnt load
and just sits there
'doesnt load and just sits there'? be more specific pls
it apperantly took 194 second to load primal game data
soo it's fine?
it says full startup took 258.20 seconds and then it just stops
i also cant type in the console
have you actually tried joining it?
thats the next thing i'm trying to figure out on how to open ark in game console
looks like it and tab isnt working in main menu
because you need to be in the game to use the in game console
server is running just cant connect to it
Can take 10 or more min for it to be fully online so it's joinable
when i connect via ark console it says lost/timedoud connection to host
okay finally found the server in the server browser

In ARK survival evolved, how hard would be to make a mod that ads a new pickaxe that has some probability to harvest something diferent from the defoult metal when it hits metal ores?
hi i may of used cheat playercommand Ascend1 and um i don't want to have all the things unlocked how do i undo what i did.
is there a program that i can use to edit player data
modding already requires that you install the behemoth that is the devkit
not sure how feasible that specifically is
The elemental pickaxe mod and the obzidian pickaxe from primimitive plus are a thing.
it's hard to say how "hard" something will be cause that's subjective. imo it'd be easy, but for someone unexperienced with UE and ARK modding it probably would not be.
getting the devkit and running it is another pain on its own already.
So a new pickaxe that extracts copper out of iron ore or crafting copper ore out of iron in a mortar and pestle is not a intresting idea after all.
No one said anything about interesting or not
They only talked about how hard it would be, which is what you asked about
uh, your question was "how hard would it be to make a mod that adds a new pickaxe doing something". not "would any modder find this idea interesting".
My idea was to maybe ad more metal ores without the need of advanced scripting to inject them into the map and ruin balance, since the player decides if he wants or not to face more ore variety at cost of less regular metal from the game.
using mortar and pestle or chemistery bench for crafting new ores seems the less hard way.
So, is my idea of crafting ores in the mortar and pestle or chem station a bad one?
I'm just now using Beacon for the first time and am wanting to add a number of modded saddles to yellow and red beacons on Ragnarok.
When I select 'New Drop' to make a loot drop, it only gives me options the difeent loot drops and crates on "The Island".
How do I set up drops for Ragnarok? it says in the wiki that rag uses the Island and Scourched earths beacons as it's own. but there is only The Island Dropps and crates available?
Is there a way for Beacon to read my subscribed mods?
I'm not sure if I put this in here or not. I use beacon for my ark servers and it is based on xbox, but is cross platform. I need help with some coding and getting the last touches so that our maps will run smoothly. I had someone helping me, but they just had some bad news delivered and sadly they are going to have to step away for awhile. Can anyone help me with this, anyone I've talked to so far wants to charge an arm and a leg and I can't really afford that right now. If you can help please pm me.

talking about playing cracked ark in a server owned by wc
i know
im carazy
also answer is probably no
jk
i dont have ark
its tooooooo gig
big
but i still love it
especially its lore
You could probably find something on the pirate bays lol but not streaming it, those are all paid
Fyi imo piracy is good for games because some would have never have tried it without it
For example I pirate the beta in 2015 then bought the game after I liked it for the updates and stuff
nah
100 gigas
naaaah
also my pc would either turn into a tactical nuke or just burn down my house
so no thanks
let me just enjoy the lore on youtube
isnt that a band
Run in low memory mode/use an ini, I ran it on a crappy note taking laptop
Only download map that ur currently playing on, less mods save ur space
It will be disgusting to play at first but after a couple hours your brain will stop dying and get used to it and it won't be so bad
if i dont run my server on asm then my server files are uncorrelated to the asmdata files right
Soooooooo does anyone know what the deal with certain maps like Fjordur and val not letting players transfer or have upload on clusters ?
I speak as a cluster owner.
Cluster ID: ALL matching.
Character download/upload: enabled
Map transfer: enabled.
Uploads and character: gone after you transfer
I could transfer off my Fjordur to the island, and transfer back to Fjordur didn't try uploading items
Have you done thus recently? We use Gportal
Did it about a week ago
I selfhost also so we way different
That's likely what's going on. I have a playstion cluster with over 1400 players and I'm getting alot of clout over this. But I can't fix it
Tbh idk how to access Xbox unofficial to even code so idk lmao
I have xbox, just no way to do what I do
Wonder if your locked to the official new map no transfer till September for Fjordur on PS

We have no problems with other eggs, only the magmas.

is there a skin mod that lets you use glow pet model's for other dinos.
like glow tail for meawing shine horn for horses and so on
there are mods that let you have rideable glow pets
make sure you have waited for it to say how many cores your pc has.
and check that the port is not trying to use the same port as a different game
some times the game can take about 1min-40min to start up just depends

@floral warren for whenever you see this, any idea how to format a configsubtract removing 3 dinos or more?
nvm, forgot the wiki had a template lol
Today I lost everything I had uploaded, items and creatures, on our private server. We don't have expiration timers so we kept some things in the upload. They've all disappeared. When I'm on my singleplayer I was able to see the items also, but they've disappeared from that as well.
Anyone willing to code an Xbox 25x server
Weβre they modded?
Revert to backup regardless
iirc items uploaded from a server (non-cluster) are stored on your PC's drive, where the ARK files are
so a server revert wouldnt do squat
anyway what i came in here to ask was whether it's a known bug that the S+ incubators wont hatch underwater eggs
revert to a backup before uploading the items. items are gone unless they specifically backed up the file.
Well auto backups are made every 2 hours, when the server starts, and when the server saves, so there should be plenty to choose from
can anyone help me figure out why my friends cant join the non dedicated server that i created. it gives him a message saying outgoing reliable buffer overload when he tries.
is there a mod that makes the plazma that shoots out of a tek rifle move faster
get him to remove the shit in his obelisk, in singleplayer
im newer to the game idk what that means
he will
na he is newer than me
Is there anything in his inventory?
yea
Remove it
ok well ima try that rq and if it doesnt work then ill lyk
@floral warren it still says the same thing
i just had to kill him and he was able to join... thanks for the help though.

No. Just rename the files to [mapname].ark

Heyo, first time renting an ark server here, was wondering what's the best way to do a dino wipe? Do I have to log in or is there a way to do it from the control panel
Don't know if hosting sites control panel connects to the server or not, only way I know to do a dino wipe is a. Login to game, b. Use rcon (if rcon is enabled) will need something to login to it though
Which site are you using? Gportal has a built-in "force respawn wild dinos at server restart" option somewhere.
that's the equivalent of the lovely -ForceRespawnDinos too!
yeah, any server host that lets you input launch options has that.
beat me to it alex lmao
I've never used a launch option for gportal, so I didn't know.
-ForceRespawnDinos is a thing on any ARK dedicated server, just to be clear. if there's no option in the control panel to respawn dinos at restart, but you can edit the command line, you can just put -ForceRespawnDinos in there.
@broken condor ^^
I just got it to work with the web console, just gotta figure out how to set it in a schedule
And thank you guys so much for the replys:)
On a rented server don't know how you would do it, but if was your own could make a python script that logs into the Rcon and does the wipe wild dino command and have crontab run the script at a set time

Anyone know any mods that add reaper spawns to the ABB zones to fjorder.
Should be able to with simple spawners
I dont know how to set that up. and its a non-ded with my friends. I dont want to have to go into the caves and force my friends in there too.
or with INI
?, I can just get a ini that does that and copy paste it into my ini?
Does ini now work with reaper spawning?
has being for years
yea
Do you have one????
It didn't work for (for me) a while adding them to val or any other map, so I was curious.
When did you do this?
Years ago on xbox, like just after val released
Back in the day when internet did not exist
LOL no, I could've done it wrong, but several others never got them working either so 
Youβll find them in the volcano because the Ab spawner on fjordur sucks :P thatβs probably why youβre not finding them.
Kings are in biolum on Ab and donβt spawn with queens
Wait. Are you theeclipse from the cross gen 2 mod? your're the author from that?
Which is why I said that map matters.
What is the best 50x server ps?
Yep lol
*you're
yours truly is here
Thank you for making that mod! Its wonderful. and a life saver. If you could possibly in the future make a cross abberation or a mod that makes reapers and other dinos that dont original spawn on there spawn on fjorder? Would love to have reapers. one of my favs behind rock drakes(my pfp rockdrake)
A fjordur specific extension like I have for LI porting the last few creatures, probably. Iβll be making my own rendition of Aberration spawns too but itβs somewhat low priority (after all free dlc Dinoβs and getting both cross-Genesis fully up to date)
Alr. Thanks for the info! Again. Your a life save with Cross gen 2 mod.
Np, glad you enjoy it!
And yeah youβll have better luck looking in the volcano even though theyβre technically also in the Rad zone spawner. Couldnβt find any in it

Hey guys quick question. I have a server I just got and was wondering how can I have multiple maps in the server do I have to have separate servers and link them up somehow or is it a mod?
You're renting a server?
Yes
If there is, you can find everything linked on the S+ mod page.
You would need multiple servers, then you can cluster them by giving them each the same cluster ID.
Oh ok thank you for the info π
already looked. Figured i'd ask bc sometimes they don't list every possibility or someone would know another way to get around it, but thanks for the response.
Not quite the same but you could use the Destroy all in Soul Terminals for mass killing instead of the gun. Can disable XP from that

I mean, beacon has it on the free side. I also have a google spreadsheets that can do it for gen2 and prior dinos.

you can ignore the clustering bit
i mean nondedi and dedi can both be as public or private as you like, nondedi is just shit
max 4 players, general instability, and depending on what map you're on, everyone gets teleported to the host randomly
the video is self hosted- free
You can skip the clustering which is about half of it
okay
Is anyone know how to unlock Hover skiff for player?
I use cheat GiveTekengramsTo 125785415 HoverSkiff still not unlock
but using cheat GiveTekengramsTo 125785415 PrimalItemArmor_TekPants it work.
unless it's not considered 'tek' like the grenade launcher or tek sensor. hoverskiff should work though. i've only done them as auto unlock or as ascension rewards. you try it in single player?
have not try in Single player, just only in dedicated server.
You only need the engram to craft them, not to use them. So you could just spawn one in for them. Just an option.
Is nitrado a good hosting site?
I'm just asking cuz no matter what I do I can't get it to work with mods
I'm not sure, someone else might know though. As soon as I switched to steam from xbox, I switched to gportal.
I might look into that, we just wanted to have something to play on that wouldn't have tether errors every 3 seconds and it's become a 3 day stress fest
Yikes. That's unfortunate.
Ya, its almost gotten to the point where I don't wanna play at all
What mods are you working with? As I have Nitrado and have 0 issues with mods
Nitrado is where cool kids at haha
Instead of console wars it is now server wars
I'll list the ones I've got
Death inventory keeper, sleep able bed, frogmacs kibble station, dino storage v2, creature finder deluxe, awesome spyglass, improved flyers, upgrade station v1.8i, ultra stacks, and super structers
And it just says server not responding when I try to join it after starting it up
Loolol I just like gportals ui more
Have you checked to see if the mods are at their latest version? As some mods have being outdated since 2018 and as such cause issues to this day
It says they all are?
They worked fine in nondedicaded
And never had any issues at all
What works on non dedicated does not always work on servers
What I recommend is remove all the mods and 1 by 1 install each one. So try dino storage first and if there are no issues load up the next one
I just dont want the stupid tethers, its just for me my mom and a close friend of mine all this complicated stuff is so stressful
As it sounds like 1 of the mods is having issues and then causing the problem
Regarding your list I know for a fact that Dino Storage v2 & Awesome Spyglass have 0 issues
I'll probably mess with it more tomorrow, its getting late
Fair enough
Hello, im playing in a modded cluster server and in the last few days I cant see other maps from cluster in obe/trasmitter, so basically Im stuck in a map. Any tips to fix this issue?
Contact the admin. Sounds like the other maps are down.
Hello, so i override the difficulty on Aberration but still get lvl 5 dino, is it normal ?
Ofc other maps (servers) are up. No way Im asking here without knowing that
@young minnow sorry to ping but I started messing with my server again and none of the mods work, every single one breaks it even when run alone
That is so werid. Maybe contract Nitrado
I'm just going to play without mods, it's not worth the stress
@red mirage this channel is for server/singleplayer setup help, please use the #735196277221883964 channel for lfg.
Does it work without mods?
try deleting and reinstalling mods
Yes it works without mods, and I've deleted and reinstalled the mods so many times its just not worth it
Not sure if this is the correct place to post but I was looking for assistance with troubleshooting a self-hosted dedicated server. Would this be the correct channel?
Use the https://ark.wiki.gg , not fandom.
Sooo, I was running a dedicated ark server without issue for a few months. After the last update no one could connect to the server anymore. The server only showed under Steam > Servers. Never under the Ark server list. Any attempts to join resulted in "unable to query server info for invite". I have verified the server version is 348.7, client version is 348.3. VM OS is Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Firewall completely disabled on the VM and port forwarding is setup on my PFSense for ports 7777, 7778, 27015, 27020. Logs below. I have rebuilt the Ubuntu VM, reinstalled SteamCMD, the Ark server, and my client just to verify it was not a corrupted install. Still getting the same issue. Not sure where else to look.

Looking through the Server_configuration page on the wiki now.
Not seeing anything on the wiki that would point to an issue with my setup. If it helps these are the switches I am running. /home/steam/ASE/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ShooterGameServer TheIsland?listen?SessionName=ptittest?ServerPassword=#####?ServerAdminPassword=##### -server -log
Hey quick question, transferring hosts and need to transfer the save files. I'm assuming just grab everything from SavedArk[numbershere]?
Already grabbed what I needed from SaveGames
Question. I leveled my ferox in his crack version and he reverted back to small right. But when I give him crack again, all those levels I just put into the crack version, is gone? Is that normal, or a bug?
this is for discussion about unofficial (or single player) server setup including mods and other relevant topics. can use #bobs-with-probs or #ark-survival-ascended for questions like this.
to answer the question, yes its normal. and it may be a bug :P
wiki says "Leveling a small Ferox will increase its stats in its large form. However, the opposite does not seem to be true."
the ferox has/had so many issues, its not even funny or worth mentioning all of them lol
Thank you. I just thought this was to talk about unofficial stuff. Thank you for the clear up.
I'm grabbing all the files from SavedArk, hopefully this is what I need to transfer save data from host to host?
Lots of .ARK, .ARKPROFILE, .TRIBEBAK, and .BAK in there
Does anyone know of a mod that or program that allows you to inventory all of your items and blue prints? A few friends and I play on a private server and we save items and blueprints in storage boxes and bookshelfs. We are trying to reduce down items to just a handful that are most efficient. IE - Sometimes you have 2 BPs for the same item but one item has better stats but lower crafting cost. I'm looking for something similar to ASB.
just steal the whole saved folder
afraid the only way to do that is to organize well
Thank you.
We've been saving BPs for years..... soo many BPs to go through. Over 200 Flak Head Armor alone...
Ty for the response.

How to get desert titan note
Hey there, I have a question. Currently, I am trying to tame a carno, but the unconsciousness is dropping faster than the taming. This is a server my buddy set up, what is the setting to make it so dino's don't immediately wake up?
I legit think a setting is wrong on this server. The torpor drain is making it impossible to tame any dino
If they edited this setting, they need to make sure it is lower than 1 otherwise you will have your issue. I have mine set to 0.1. WildDinoTorporDrainMultiplier=0.1
That setting belongs in the game.ini btw
Yea, its set to 1, but ive never seen it drain so fast.
It was to the point the dino would wake before it even got hungry
What was the creature?
Carno and a ptera
Dox
Maybe you need to check the server settings for that, as I know some mods change some of Arks default settings to suit the mod
Yea, this doesn't seem like a normal setting, I think something broke it
Hi, I have a problem on the pvp cluster - there are certain types of caves on the Fjordur map - in some caves you can't fly on wyvern, griffin, but still it works for some and it doesn't work for some - can someone please tell me if there is a way to solve this apart from switching to "default"? thank you for help π
Cave flyability isnβt really controllable beyond allowing/disallowing cave flyers, with desmodus ignoring all rules
Then please explain to me why someone can fly on a wyvern and a griffin and someone on the contrary at all?
Messed up volumes on the mapβs end
do you think there will be a bundle fix?
Maybe, though I havenβt seen mention of randomly flyable caves so theyβre potentially not aware
Tbh, I guess the other option is you have cave flyers on but not all caves are respecting the setting to allow flying?
Itβs odd that I donβt think this has been mentioned at all before
Also worth noting if this is the mod version of the map
The map is without mods, nothing extra has been added - the map is in the basic configuration and nothing has been changed - flying in caves is prohibited π€·ββοΈ
Which caves specifically? Iβd check it out myself later
90/10 cave on fjord- midgard π thank you so much β€οΈ
looking for a mod or a way to have element shards are lighter i want to use tek bow but element shard are to heavy
I have installed a dedicated server on my windows machine. I have DISABLED the firewall, and port forwarded 7777, 7778 UDP and 27015 UDP and TCP, however my friends are unable to connect to it. Is there any way to troubleshoot this? I am prepared to packet sniff but I do not know exactly what to look for
I stopped hosting for about half a year and everything broke, this used to work and I did not change anything but it dose not work anymore
If using DHCP I would double check ips to make sure port fowards are still going to right computer
yep they are
I am legit out of solutions, I even put my server in the DMZ with firewall disabled and it still didnt work
Anything with your ISP change? Does wan IP in router match a what's my IP google search
i think i had to add ark to the fire wall
I've literally disabled the firewall cos im so desperate
i had the same thing i don't remember how i got it to work sorry
can you send me your .bat
start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?listen?SessionName="Tankirules ARK PLEASE"?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword="C@r0line"?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=10 -NoBattlEye -crossplay

try that
ok
just remember ark server take for ever to start up
i think thats the worst part is to trouble shoot takes for ever
That they do, mine take 5 to 10min to fully start
mines about 80 secs cos its on an ssd
Same lmao
granted i have had it start in 40seconds but thats only because i started and closed a server like 4 times
Mine 5 to 10 min before they show in server list
well at least you have a working server
the worst thing is to have your server start with in 0-5 second then you know its stuffed
btw, for some reason when I try to join my server via single player then typing in console "open 192.168.0.63" I get hit with "authentication token" error
maybe its a symptom of the issue?
But mine are on sas drives that are raided
yeah idk i have never had the command thing work for me i just use the server list is the best way to see if it works
all so have it favourite you have to wait for the ark server to tell you how many cores your server has
All your friends are using steam right
yep
I had one of mine only say 1 core because I f-ed up the VM it was on lmao
Lol
I used to have like a nat loopback issue with my server i think cos my router is shitty
Has the server done prim data
Alot of home routers don't do loopback
yep, it's fully started
See a lot of people that can't connect to there own server because they try to use there Internet IP and not the lan IP for the server
yeah I can connect via lan tho
Ok, my friend launches ark with the "+connect ip" launch option
and they get "unable to query server for game invite" or something
there isn't really a way to test if udp port is open/forwarded is there?
Sent you a link to a site that can do a udp port check
Did a check on mine and it shows the service as being halflife for the ark server query port π€£π€£
thanks, status shows "Open|filtered"
for both 7777 and 7778, so if that works why not the server??? grrrrrr
Mine shows service as cbt for 7777
yep, mine shows as 7777 cbt and interwise for 7778
I used resource monitor and the ports seem to be open and fine as well
imgur dot com /a/vPIM0Qs
Shootergame looks like it's missing the steam query port
Don't see one for the 27015
mine shows 4 ports in use ShooterGa 5049 user 10u IPv4 697785 0t0 UDP *:27015 ShooterGa 5049 user 19u IPv4 695141 0t0 TCP *:27020 (LISTEN) ShooterGa 5049 user 21u IPv4 697859 0t0 UDP *:7777 ShooterGa 5049 user 22u IPv4 695186 0t0 UDP *:7778
not sure what that 27020 one is, i dont even have that forwarded in my router
27020 is rcon default right?
yep it shows mine is listening on 7777 7778 27015 for udp
i connect locally to rcon lmao
I'm stumped, with port scanning showing open, and you being able to connect locally, I'm out of ideas on why friends can't connect
Any mods on it?
Don't know if @lilac chasm has mods on it
no mods
was played for a bit on the island and everything worked
I'm also fairly certain I am not on a CGNAT
Yeah don't think the port check would of worked if you cgnat
Cgnat is 100.64.0.0 - 100.127 IP range
I've made a post on the ark forums
This is infuriating
Do you know of a better place to ask for support?
Have you had more then one friend try, maybe issue is there end
Yes, it is definitely on my end. Both people couldnt join
can someone help me with mods on pc because when i tried gaia it diddnt work and neither did pugnacia but the smaller ones do for some reason
Did you have pugnacia as the first mod in the load order? Most large overhauls need to be first.
no as in it doesnt even show up there
everything's downloaded and ive let it install on the menu
but after that it just doesnt show up
Are you still subscribed on steam? Maybe unsub+resub?
Check if you have enough storage space?
done both of those
tried a full mod reinstall?
mhm ive even deleted my folder and then re subbed
hm
Delete the other folder too
ah yeah
i had to verify files to get it to regenerate those (ark wasn't detecting mods after i mass-deleted them from there)
alr ill try that now
wheres that
Check pins
Is it possible to invite (steam deck) window players in a game via Linux?

Does someone know where to change the reload fill timer for the ammo box? my friend can't find it in the settings and doesn't wanna wait 30min
you can download mods from the workshop which add almost all creatures
