thats a bit too complecated for me

wait is it doable on steam only or can it word on epic games?

[olive talon]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty is an ini configuration, it will work on both.

[silver lintel]

ok so how do i enter it

[olive talon]

Follow the instructions I just shared.

[silver lintel]

where are they???

why is this COMPLICATED

[olive talon]

@silver lintel right here.

[silver lintel]

I CANT find the files

[silver lintel]

and where is it?

[floral warren]

[silver lintel]

[whereeveryoudownload

[floral warren]

where did you tell EGS to install ark?

[silver lintel]

i

i just plainly installed ark on epic games and thats it

[floral warren]

you had to specify where you wanted it to install, right?

@primal mango what's default install location for games on egs?

[primal mango]

you specify it when downloading I think

been like 2 year since I downloaded so not sure what it defaults to though

[floral warren]

But what's the default option, like, first thing it throws before you've told it

ah damn

tbf i can check because i have about 300 uninstalled games on egs

ok nvm that's not default

[floral warren]

on this screen, where did you tell it to install

[silver lintel]

what is egs?

[silver lintel]

uhhh

so can anyone tell me what is egs?

[floral warren]

Epic Games Store

[silver lintel]

oh

[silver lintel]

yea i dunno how to do it

also why is it taking forever for eclipse pic to send

its still loading

[silver lintel]

ok i think i just need a step by step

so what do i do first is leave ark and now what?

[latent fiber]

[harsh vigil]

Hello there people I'm hoping someone can help me in here I am trying to clear all the old structures from my server I have tried using this setting AutoDestroyOldStructuresMultiplier=0.5 but it doesn't seem to be working for me I don't want to put on the auto decay on because then the players need to repair there base over time & I don't want that PLEASE help all I want is the auto decay without having the player having to repair base's

[eternal lichen]

Anyone know why my client says version 350.5, but all the servers I play on (or have played on) say 350.4? I can't connect to anything this way. On my game, at the top its 350.5, but at the bottom it says 350.4. I'm sooooo confused

[raven hull]

350.4 it's the client version and 350.5 it's the server version #patch-notes

[eternal lichen]

Ok. got it. ty

[lucid solstice]

As long as the major version (i.e. 350) is the same it should connect fine

[celest halo]

let the countdown begin till unofficials get the update

[next vessel]

[sage compass]

Sooo update is not here?☹️

[celest halo]

not for unofficial

[sage compass]

And date For unoffi?

[celest halo]

any min to 24 hours, is there normal

[ashen ocean]

@hallow heart Hey 😄

[sage compass]

Hey…what?

[hallow heart]

Yoyo, just send your S+ question and I can help :)

[celest halo]

its been an hour since arklive branch got updated, public branch i have seen them update anywhere from an hour after to 24 hours after, they use live to do a bug check before pushing to public branch

[ashen ocean]

@hallow heart cool, thanks mate 🙂

I've finally gotten to early tek tier so those are where my questions are.
1st. Tek gen, do they use the same electrical wires as normal gens?

2nd. Dedicated storages - how many should I make? I saw a wall of 42 of them and that seemed to encompass all the standard mats that would be used in 99% of recipes.

3rd. Do tek structures have any purpose aside from being nice to look at?

[hallow heart]

Tek gens are wireless

dedicated storages are 1 per whatever item you want to store in bulk. So really up to you

They are stronger health wise and less can damage them

[ashen ocean]

Oh wow, how long is the range on the Tek gen then? I was about to burn a ton of mats making wires and outlets haha

[hallow heart]

I think, 10 foundations radius

[loud copper]

Hi, can someone explane me how I can get the halloween event on mij nitrado server? current official events is on but it doesent seem to work

[celest halo]

unofficial has not be updated yet

[loud copper]

oh

when wil this happen? and will this happen automatic?

[ashen ocean]

Good to know. 🙂

Oh also, auto crafter. I get the general idea but I wanna clarify. It can craft anything from fab/smithy/crafting station, right? Is Chem bench in there?

[celest halo]

anytime from now to 24 hours

[loud copper]

oke ty man

[celest halo]

steamdb link in pins, public branch is one you want to watch

right now last update for it was 14 days ago

[hallow heart]

So it crafts anything, you place the relevant crafting structure in it and select it. Then you can select recipes from it. pretty sure chem bench works

[ashen ocean]

That's sick. I was all worried because I intend to drop like 80k worth of metal, crystal etc into making a fancy base but then I worried I'd have the hideous fan and Smithy right next to my space age tek rep haha

[delicate fox]

It says the patch was 2 hours ago. Am I dumb?

[tepid furnace]

So I have a friend who got into an unofficial server just fine but I can't join it ):

[delicate fox]

Servers just updated/game clients just updated

[celest halo]

unofficial has not updated yet

[delicate fox]

19 October 2022 – 18:45:27 UTC (2 hours ago)

I've never used steamdb before

[celest halo]

public 9663872 14 days ago

[tepid furnace]

So is it rolling out to different ppl at different timeS?

[ashen ocean]

I think I've run out of questions for the time being but I suppose one more would be to ask if there is anything else tek or s+ related that you think I'd benefit from knowing? Any tips or just important info

Edit: Oh! If you had to guess, about how big would you say the Tek rep is? I plan to leave lots of room for a couple industrial forges but I believe the replicator is quite large

[vestal ingot]

official is always first, so if they bugger anything up it dont trickle down to unofficial

[celest halo]

cant go by the Last Record Update, that gets updated no matter what branch has a change

[delicate fox]

Ahhh got it I see

[celest halo]

have to go down to branches and look at the public one

[delicate fox]

Nah, most likely, you updated and they didn't, which means you aren't able to join the outdated server.

[tepid furnace]

😢

[celest halo]

arklive branch is official servers

public is for unofficials

[tepid furnace]

can I roll versions back?

[celest halo]

i just love how they do the announcement with how to enable the event on unofficial but they dont push the update for us lmao

[hallow heart]

S+ has the automated transfer tool that you can hook pressure plates up to. You can pretty much set up automated transfers using that and even have them activate with dinos running against a jumppad continually activating them

[vestal ingot]

personally i would rather wait then have them break something and have to roll back

[delicate fox]

Nope. You will have to wait anywhere from minutes to hours to even 24 hours for the server to update.

[austere rune]

confused, was there a server update for the halloween event or were all the fear evolved updates included in 350.5?

[delicate fox]

Servers have not updated yet. Check steamDB in pins for when it updates.

[vestal ingot]

a patch was included with enabling the event so unoffical has to wait

[austere rune]

official runs a different branch?

[ashen ocean]

Awesome! Thanks for your help mate, I appreciate your time.

[vestal ingot]

yes

[delicate fox]

Yes. Official is the "test" branch.

[austere rune]

lol ok ty

[celest halo]

official is arklive on steamdb

[delicate fox]

Also in pins

[celest halo]

WC uses official to test the release and fix any bugs before pushing it to public branch

[vestal ingot]

^ that

[celest halo]

it sucks for events because we stuck waiting till they decide to release it to us

[cyan dirge]

Only dumb thing with that, is without the public, they have a really poor sampling of QA, so they should not be pushing to live and updating clients to live until they've done a proper QA, which means not using official to test...

Its some of the worst possible decision tree decisions I've ever seen.

[celest halo]

they also have there devtest branch, but official is a bigger user group for them lmao

[civic solstice]

I suspect that the Studio does not monitor this channel to gather feedback on their policies and practices

[delicate fox]

They probably do, hopefully they will change in ARK 2.

[cyan dirge]

the studio doesn't monitor any feedback channels. Not even their own website.

The number of complaints that crop up every time this happens would indicate that.

[olive talon]

They don't handle unofficials other than updates to the game, so probably not.

[vestal ingot]

well, it would of been a better idea to release the event and then the patch. so they are not all bunched together.

[civic solstice]

thanks I understand that you are expressing displeasure with a crew of similarly situated unofficial server players/operators who cannot do anything about your issue.

[olive talon]

Feel free to send them suggestions.

[cyan dirge]

Absolutely SG_Rock, absolutely. Can't play == come here and vent because of the same dumb admin practice they've been doing for years! Hehe

[vestal ingot]

in my experience people would rather wait than have to roll back because of a bug. im glad they do it the way they do now tbh.

[celest halo]

WC is very good at doing denial of service for people that play on unofficial servers when they do updates

[civic solstice]

I'm here on patch day to work with the unofficial server army, since I know that when the patch is available for unofficial servers it will be announced here by the community

[olive talon]

Server owners handle their own servers, Wildcard just releases patches and updates.

[cyan dirge]

If there was a bug, you wouldn't roll back - you'd patch UP to the next version that fixed the issue.

[celest halo]

yup but when they dont release the update to the public, server owners cant do anything

[vestal ingot]

depends on what the bug is

[olive talon]

Server owners can also rollback their own servers if there is an issue.

[celest halo]

and when they make the client not be able to connect to a server that is a patch behind there is nothing server owners can do

[rocky talon]

🤡

[thorny orchid]

[civic solstice]

Q: Are we there yet? A: NO

[thorny orchid]

My server explose and all my friends burn in fire because new update wtf

[rocky talon]

Same

[thick haven]

did anyone receive a server-side update yet?

[thorny orchid]

no

[wet escarp]

anyone else having server issues? i keep closing and reopening but im only getting 5-10 servers popping up

[thorny orchid]

stuck in 350.5

[celest halo]

nope, not released for unofficial yet

[thorny orchid]

i spam Zed on league of legends because server are down

[trim bridge]

there should be a spam bot in this channel that just says "unofficial is not release yet" lol

[celest halo]

lol

should be alot of things

[trim bridge]

I appreciate the info that was posted earlier explaining how to check for the unofficial/public release on steamdb.

[celest halo]

like a client branch that is always same version of the game as the unofficial server branch

[cyan dirge]

Dude, don't ask for logical things...SW doesn't do logical things...you should know that by now!

[thick haven]

Fear Evolved 6 is planned to release on all platforms 55 minutes ago

hmmmmmm

[celest halo]

nope, they rather do a denial of service for unofficial players

[cyan dirge]

Actually, based on the general channel questions popping up, it appears its not just unofficial that can't find their servers...lol

[celest halo]

yeah officials can take them a few hours to get them all updated and back online

[warm burrow]

Hey guys! It's patch day! Sorry I'm late to the unofficial chat.

[polar wedge]

does enyone know if there have been eny release for unofficial yet?

[celest halo]

not yet

[polar wedge]

do we know how long it normal takes? i can only see its under deployment, and im not that use to unofficial

[celest halo]

any min to 24 hours if you go by past patches

[polar wedge]

oh okay, and thank you

[celest halo]

reports of hawk being broken now, so might take some time before unofficial get it. if the hawk is really broken and they have to fix it

[polar wedge]

seems like it gonna be a long nights wait

[thick haven]

is there a ETA on Patch?

anything

[civic solstice]

unknown

we won't know till it shows up

[torpid bridge]

Back to solo for now IG

[warm burrow]

Back to the hub for now IG

[pale sentinel]

Is there any way to query a server to see the current version of Ark?

I hate the idea of shutting down my server to check for updates, would rather run a daemon.

[celest halo]

can use steam query port to get info from a server

[vestal ingot]

battlemetrics also shows the version

[pale sentinel]

Mind elaborating on the steam query thing a bit more?

Might look into use battlemetrics if steam doesnt pan out

[celest halo]

python a2s is a good thing for it if you know python

[pale sentinel]

yeah I know python

I have some proprietary ark server management stuff

I'm writing a cluster manager currently.

[thick haven]

Does only 3 people work on the wild card? cause these issue to happen so often

[celest halo]

public just got updated

[civic solstice]

This is not an issue, this is normal, standard operating procedure

[pale sentinel]

Yeah update hasn't been out long and from what I'm reading this is very common post update

I wasn't aware personally but it has nothing with the amoutn of people working on Ark 1

[thick haven]

ok

[vestal ingot]

give owning a cluster a couple years, you'll be glad they do it this way now lol

[pale sentinel]

When googling the issue apparently there was an update that killed peoples dinos.

[vestal ingot]

one word: snails

[pale sentinel]

So yeah I'm gonna say that this is a good thing

[floral warren]

imagine if hawks had been deleted this time lol

the fucking riot that would have caused

[vestal ingot]

oh god dont even mention that lol

[pale sentinel]

I haven't been able to tame a hawk.

I don't know why but it just didnt work when I tried a few months back

and I just never tried again, haven't been active.

Just assumed it was broken completely lol

[floral warren]

there's a few specific things you need to do for it

[pale sentinel]

I think it only gained taming progress when I jumped off my dino

[tiny tapir]

Its out

[floral warren]

Be aware that if it gets injured during the process either by a stray hit at it or a wild dino biting at them, the progress resets to 0%.

For a fjordhawk to peck on the corpse , the dino killing blow can be from tamed dinos and player, however you have to dismount your tame and walk close to the corpse to gain taming progress otherwise you won't gain any.

[vestal ingot]

off to update, good luck out there

[pale sentinel]

already started my update

[magic tulip]

Is it just me or is the unofficial network still down?

[tiny tapir]

unofficial need to update their servers. patch came out 12 mins ago

[runic osprey]

Anyone know where G Portal posts anything on timelines for their server updates?

[scenic sphinx]

Does the event automatically activate after updating on Ark server manager or do you have to manually activate it?

[indigo cliff]

Where do we go to start a "undo the fn fjordhawk nerf" petition?

[hollow yarrow]

Manually.

[runic osprey]

Anyone know if I'll have to activate the event manually as well? I'm using G Portal to host.

[warm burrow]

This is so frustrating. Everyone saying update was pushed, I restart the servers on GPortal, no update happens.

[warm burrow]

Yes, you need to go under Basic Settings, then under ActiveEvent pull it down to Fear Evolved

[bleak ivy]

gportal still needs to accept it if they haven't already.

[next vessel]

Anyone know about Nitrado?

[warm burrow]

Nitrado makes fine garbage cans

[runic osprey]

Found it. Thanks! I was looking where there was a whole section under settings about the New Year Event

[vernal bridge]

Are the severs still bugged?

[magic tulip]

Yeah, kind of getting irritated at this point. But what can you do? Just a waiting game now. Hopefully soon it gets settled.

[runic slate]

Hey folks! I've been trying for an hour to figure or how to activate an event on single player and haven't gotten it right yet. I am using the Eggsellent Adventure event since Fear Evolved want downloaded on my ps4 yet. I go to the Advanced tab on the Options menu. And down to the last option where it says Active Event. Them I've typed in all of these combinations:

-activeevent=Easter
activeevent=Easter
=Easter
Easter

None of these have worked. What am I doing wrong?

[runic osprey]

G Portal servers have updated for me. In case anyone else hadn't seen it yet.

[polar wedge]

nitrado have got update now

[magic tulip]

"Its been 84 long years" LOL

[modern gale]

I don't see it on console

[upper fiber]

same

[polar wedge]

mine have just finished on pc, but is kindoff stucked at restart

[upper fiber]

unofficial servers aren't showing up

[magic tulip]

I was really hoping that I could get in here and mess around before I go to work but gportal has different plans for me.

[polar wedge]

and they still have messeges up, about deployment

[vocal ravine]

Our G Portal servers just updated finally too. But the update didn't show as available, just restarted it and it loaded and installed the update, so it might be worth restarting even if it doesn't show the update is available

[modern gale]

Ugh still nothing

[upper fiber]

yep

[modern gale]

Ugh same for me

[prisma nacelle]

oh was there yet another update?

[merry thorn]

Wow. Its the same deal every single time and everyone asks the and questions every single time. We knew this update was coming. Just figure servers will be unavailable for several hours.

[modern gale]

Ok I was told by someone they got into game

[merry thorn]

if they didn't update their game, they can still join unupdated unofficial maps

once the versions don't match, there's no getting in

[vivid temple]

has anybody figured out where to put the new line of code for changing fjordhawk cooldown on gportal?

[vernal bridge]

Servers up

[coral kindle]

Does anyone have the spawn code for the spooky bulbdog?

[proud vine]

cheat gfi ChibiDino_Bulbdog_Pumpkin 1 0 0

[floral warren]

Do a wild dinowipe but probably all the content except the colourset has been removed

[reef laurel]

I'm wondering the same thing, how do we get the jordhawk timer lowered on private servers?

[dawn geode]

Case #29125 @viral surge has been muted for 1 hour.
Reason: Posting a unauthorised Discord invite link

[late surge]

@floral warren @young minnow i did what yall said was impossible without mods
i made custom spawns 😀

i did it by abusing the offset system

finally fixed the drake den on crystal isles

yall want code for it?

so basically you find a really small spawn entry in the map your looking to add a custom spawn to, in my case that spawn region would be CI_DinoSpawnEntries_SaberPride_C on crysal isles. then go there and green gun a saber and screenshot UE coords. then go to the location you plan on add the spawn to and spawn a dino in, green gun it and screenshot the UE coords. then once you've setup the spawn, select groupspawnoffset=(X=(Second screenshotted X Coord minus first screenshotted X coord) Y=(Second screenshotted Y Coord minus first screenshotted Y coord) Z=(Second screenshotted Z Coord minus first screenshotted Z coord) then you're pretty much done

@floral warren @young minnow

ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="CI_DinoSpawnEntries_SaberPride_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Saber (3-5)",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Saber_Character_BP_C","Saber_Character_BP_C","Saber_Character_BP_C","Saber_Character_BP_C","Saber_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=0.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=300,Y=0,Z=0),(X=0,Y=300,Z=0),(X=-300,Y=0,Z=0),(X=0,Y=-300,Z=0)),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1,1,1,0.5,1)),(AnEntryName="drake",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("RockDrake_Character_BP_C","RockDrake_Character_BP_C","RockDrake_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=0,Y=100,Z=0),(X=0.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=200,Y=200,Z=0)),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1,1,0.86),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=200,GroupSpawnOffset=(X=539796,Y=-130020,Z=28816))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Saber_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.2)))

this code mods it so drakes spawn in the back of the den on crystal isles instead of the outside and yes the nests still spawn back in the cave

im not too good at explaining things so hopefully this makes sense

[young minnow]

@late surge nice work mate,

Interested if this can work on any other map for it to work

[hoary marsh]

What the fcuk

[young minnow]

Codes in patch notes

[floral warren]

Offsets do yeah, they’re in the code doc I sent you

Nests only work on CI because the server had nest points set up there already

[loud copper]

I have a question, i know the event boosts things like harvest multieplier and more but I want to know with on of these 3 options applies to my nitrado server. Does anyone know that? Small tribe, conquest exc.

[charred plank]

Hello

MinimumTimeBetweenInventoryRetrieval=600

This command is for Game.ini or GUS.ini ?
Thank :)

(We don't have apply -ActiveEvent=FearEvolved arg, and we have the event active...)

[floral warren]

Launch option so neither

[floral warren]

where exactly that means you put it depends entirely on how you host your server

[subtle canopy]

What maps have the dodowyvern and dodo Rex? Is it only scorched and the island? I thought you could do it on rag to. I'm just trying to see what maps I need to activate the Halloween event so I can keep the others a different colour event to 🙂

[young minnow]

Only Island & Scorched

[ember island]

hey guys I new to Discord, I’m playing on an unofficial server and I’m struggling to get the dinos to lay unfertilized eggs. I have an Oviraptor giving the egg boost all dinos have mating off and my server is even a little boosted for the egg laying Nitrado server. Does anyone else have any tips?

[floral warren]

Got mateboost?

[ember island]

I believe so, Everyone has a 💜 above their name and an 🥚 below their name.

[floral warren]

Then nothing else you can do but just wait. you can use fert eggs for kibble though

[ember island]

Oh you can? I tried using them to make food and it wouldn’t let me. I’ll try again maybe I did something wrong. 😅😅

[floral warren]

well deinon, rock drake etc eggs only come in fertilised

[subtle raft]

trying to set it to where you can have more than 3 incubators in an area

On PlayStation

Does anyone know the coding for this

[delicate fox]

Hey, so, I want to do a blueprint wipe on my server, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I know there is item clamping, but I've been told that item clamping is permanent. I want to reduce all the blueprints, currently crafted items, all to primitive 100%, but then be able to obtain higher tier items through loot drops and able to be admin-spawned in.

[granite canyon]

let me know when you get the answer, ive been asking this for months 😂

[errant heath]

Is there some where a mod, that allow to keep event items. For example pumpkin?

[olive talon]

Event Assets v2, by Myrmecoleon

After this year, pc (steam-epic-stadia) will get assets from each event added back into the game, so you won't need mods after that for them.

[late surge]

As long as the map has a super tiny spawn region in one place then ya

[late surge]

Yh

But you could also do custom spawns where ever like adding more crab spawns to fjordur vannaheim without messing up the map or you could change the spawns in the ab
Zone on lost without effecting the other caves

Another way you could use custom spawns is for maybe adding blood stalkers to tree branches on other maps, but i might need to test that

[late surge]

just got the other drake spawns working just trying to fix the overspawn now lol

[late surge]

@young minnow just found out that there are normal wyvern nest spawns in the crystal wyvern den

[floral warren]

They probably use the same nest tag so yeah. Except tropical which looks for the wrong one

[floral warren]

I never said custom spawns weren’t possible though..? I sent you a how-to guide even didn’t I?

[floral warren]

What is overspawning in which container?
Pushing the drakes outsude a zone where they’re not being counted will do that btw assuming the container they’re in keeps trying to spawn drakes

[late surge]

I got it fixed now

[late surge]

Na

[late surge]

By setting the spawn spread radius to a higher number i was able to fix it

Here i'll send ya the code if you want to look at it

[late surge]

Yh im pushing it half way across the map to the floating island cave lmao

[late surge]

Im talking like where ever and not dependant on the preset spawn entries

[late surge]

Drake eggs prob not on other maps but you can do the completely custom spawns on all maps, just look for the smallest possible spawn region on the map and use that spawn entry i'll give you a list tmr of all the best ones to use

[late surge]

Does it actually lol

[delicate fox]

@floral warren Hey Eclipse, do you happen to know a good way to do a blueprint/item wipe? My BP economy is broken as hell right now and we just wanna reset everything to 100%.

I was thinking about doing an item stat clamp, but I've been told it's permanent.

[floral warren]

I believe the clamping is only permanent as in 'for current items'; however i've not used the config myself, so i'd still test just in case

[delicate fox]

I'll create a backup restore point and see what happens

[floral warren]

so i think it means like 'if your 400% gets reset to 100%, setting the cap to 200% won't put it back to 200%'

[delicate fox]

I hope so

[floral warren]

but yeah i'd still backup and test since i don't have experiece with that

[floral warren]

Sorta but it's not perfect. for one; spawning creatures outside their counting zone means they're prone to overspawning. on the other end, it makes the volume on spawns in that area dependant on the spawns in a different area. so you could end up with either no drakes, or 2,000 drakes, depending on the other zone. the other is the fact that an offset that works for one point in the spawn zone will not necessarily work for all points in the zone; there's a higher chance of creatures spawning in the mesh (which is why, even when keeping creatures in the natural zone, you generally want to keep the offsets as low as possible)

All the same, in the absence of other options, it's still better than nothing, and i respect the dedication to getting something out of it, and looking to find good offsets like that

As far as the overspawning, that's because there's drakes in an Only Count spawner

though that does bring up a good question; i wonder if shit spawning outside a counting zone freaks the container out similarly to spawning within a counting volume that's only count 🤔

since end result is the same both ways: it can't count what it's spawning

[late surge]

So far only seen a normal number of drakes for a drake den lol

[floral warren]

but the container spawns dinos when it thinks it's got space. it has absolutely no idea how many drakes there are

it doesn't know if there's 0 drakes, or 2000 drakes, it cannot balance spawns because it does not know what they are

[late surge]

Ive also noticed tho that dinos, unless they're flyers will try to spawn on solid ground

[floral warren]

if someone goes in and kills all those drakes, it'll probably just be empty till someone also slaughters shit in the original container. or if it's the other way around- someone kills stuff in the normal container- itll choose from anything in the list of spawns it can do, which means more drakes.. even if there's already several hundred drakes

Regular dinowiping would help control that though. situations like 'the spawner just keeps on choosing drakes over and over again without choosing anything else, so it's never filling the area it's counting/relying on to know when to stop spawning' is going to be limited unless you skew the entry weight poorly

[late surge]

Original container is empty lol

[floral warren]

And do NOT do that because only count containers go beserk when they spawn shit theyre not set to count

[floral warren]

you're spawning sabers in it still.

[late surge]

I removed those

They're kind useless ngl

[floral warren]

AnEntryName="Saber (3-5)",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Saber_Character_BP_C","Saber_Character_BP_C","Saber_Character_BP_C","Saber_Character_BP_C","Saber_Character_BP_C")
?

[late surge]

Not in the code i sent ya

Thats the old code

Check your dms

[floral warren]

well, i expect you'll be seeing overspawns given time

Using offsets for tree spawns is a genuinely interesting idea though. i'd never considered that, and it'll probably not overspawn since even if it doesn't end up in the trees, it'll just fall down to the ground/counting zone

just won't be suitable for areas with overhangs, since.. could get pushed inside a cliff (and fuck knows bloodstalkers are meshy enough already). still for something like redwoods that could work

[late surge]

Extra difficulty 😈

[pale sentinel]

If I'm hosting a server on two separate locations and server providers how can I cluster them together? The guides I'm looking at assume they're both running on the same server hardware and use a shared folder for the cluster data.

[late surge]

Idk

Ask eclipse

[pale sentinel]

I was just asking in general. Someone will answer it eventually worry not.

Might end up using syncthing

probably the easiest way to go about it.

[late surge]

@floral warren help this dude lol

[pale sentinel]

You don't need to ping anyone.

[floral warren]

honestly it's more likely to be missed in general since it moves so damn fast

[floral warren]

As far as im aware, that's because they need to be on the same machine

however i've not run a cluster so someone may come in correcting me- that's just what i've been told

[pale sentinel]

Right, they need a shared folder. I've used Syncthing historically to do tasks like this so I will likely have to do that.

I just thought there might be a way to do it without shared directories.

[noble bramble]

hey, i am pretty sure i didnt mess with the dino settings but according to dododex all the argies stamina is way too high

this lvl 100 argy has 2250 stamina which is 92 points according to dododex 🤔

[mint rampart]

Is it tamed?

[noble bramble]

no knocked out

[mint rampart]

You messed with the settings somewhere cause that ain’t right lol

[noble bramble]

i just changed difficulty and stack sizes 😭

[mint rampart]

Mine says the same thing lol

[noble bramble]

i mean idm them having lots of stam but it makes the calculator poop itself

let me check another dino

[mint rampart]

What are its other stats?

[noble bramble]

Lvl 100
Health 1314
Stamina 2250
Oxygen 345
Food 4600
Weight 528
Melee 190%

[mint rampart]

Yeah that’s to many points. You either changed a stat setting or something is bugged

[noble bramble]

hm other dinos seem to be fine

[mint rampart]

Tame that argy and see what happens

[noble bramble]

now the stamina is on 3.3k 💀

[olive talon]

Tamed info won't work correctly on dododex anyway. It could just be bugged.

[noble bramble]

i tried it with a parasaur and a phiomia and they have normal stats hmm

[olive talon]

More of an #ark-survival-ascended discussion though, this channel is meant for server setup help 🙂

[noble bramble]

oh alright sorry :)

[vernal compass]

anyone have any idea how to make non-transferable dinos (like mammals to abberation and modded/custom dinos in other map) without mods ? if it requires some coding or programming, i might be able to do that ..
I've heard about manually set up spawners with mods but since Epic doesn't support mods, i wont be able to play with some friends

[past marlin]

You can usually transfer modded dinos, so long as the mod is running on both maps.

For example you can transfer Brachi and Deinosuchus (for Ark Additions) between maps. Using a Brachi on Abberation is a bit weird, to be honest.

[vernal compass]

i see, aslong both map runs with the similar mods on, right?

im just afraid that i might get another fake raptor pods

[past marlin]

In GameUserSettings you can also try setting CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=true

[vernal compass]

like how i transferred chalk golems from val to other maps lmao

[past marlin]

Same mod, not similar.

If you run Ark Additions on the island, and you want to take an Acro with you to Aberration, you will need to run Ark Additions on the Aberration server.

Otherwise, all of the assets the game needs for the dino would not be there.

[vernal compass]

how about enabling vanilla mammals to be transferrable into abberation? will the setting works the same or its hardcoded?

[past marlin]

That GUS setting is supposed to allow you to transfer non-native animals to Aberration.

I would think it would let you bring in other animals, like regular Direbears and such, though, I can't recall if I ever tried that.

[vernal compass]

i see, havent tweaked that side of GUS since i relied much on plug-ins, but thanks for the heads up

was expecting for the changes to be hecklot complicated lmao

[past marlin]

Hopefully, that is all you will need.

[vernal compass]

i'll let you know how it goes, so thanks again ^^

[bleak ivy]

look through #800537680784916501 and #800538567122092053 for server ads. This channel is for discussion about unofficial (or single player) server setup including mods and other relevant topics.

[tropic eagle]

Ooo ok my bad I’m never on the ark discord

So sorry

[west apex]

how can I uninstall my mods?

[olive talon]

As I just shared in #general,
#unofficial-setup-help message

[west apex]

I resubscribed some new mods, but they are not downloading

[olive talon]

Try unsubbing and resubbing, or verifying/restarting steam.

[west apex]

k

[west apex]

I tried unsubbing and resubbing and restart steam

[olive talon]

Wait and see if anyone else knows then as I am not sure.

[west apex]

do I try verify of game files?

but it takes alot of time because my pc is potato

[floral warren]

Set steam to allow due liads while a game is running

[west apex]

k

[humble thicket]

Hi can someone help me. Im using this line like that -MinimumTimeBetweenInventoryRetrieval=1
That means fjordhawk should bring me the loot after 1s right?! But it doenst. I changed to 1,2,5 and 10s but it brings me always the loot after 25s

[runic osprey]

Hey all, hoping for some help here. Currently hosting one server on G Portal, and about to open a second one for a different map. How can I copy over the same settings (multipliers and the like) to the second server? Do I just need to copy over the ini files? Didn't know if that would mess something up with it being a different map.

[floral warren]

it's for the cooldown on whether the hawk gets the inventory at all.

[humble thicket]

Ok and how to get the 1s timer? Like i want as it was before the update

[pure vessel]

Anyone know of a mod to revert the fjordhawk back to pre-nerf? They really suck now in PvE.

[teal quarry]

I'm kind of confused about xbox ark because theres a way where you can place rocks or what looks like the shell of a megachelon

and I would like to know how to do it

[olive talon]

I'm not sure what you mean, could you DM a screenshot maybe? I've not heard of that.

[teal quarry]

sure

[olive talon]

I am not sure, but I'll share the pictures here in case someone knows, in response to this question and they can reply to you.

[floral warren]

might be using spawnactor?

[teal quarry]

thank you

[teal quarry]

what is that

[floral warren]

A command that allows you to, well.. spawn actors

[teal quarry]

is there a site or a guide about it?

do you know the commands?

[floral warren]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#SpawnActor

as far as the actual items, you'd need to go file digging

[teal quarry]

I presume spawn in a rock and make it invincible

[floral warren]

Spawning in a rock that inherently is invincible

[teal quarry]

time to look for a rock :P

[humble thicket]

Im looking for the same, or some kind of config

[teal quarry]

I got a q, is it in windows apps then the ark file or are they stored somewhere else?

I can't find the file Blueprints

[floral warren]

they're in the game files

though idk if it's set up in a different way for the win10 version

[teal quarry]

all of them are in uasset files and I can't find them

[floral warren]

well you need uasset files yes

[teal quarry]

I have no idea where the rocks would be and I cannot even find where other stuff is stored

[floral warren]

'other stuff'?

[teal quarry]

like armor resources etc

[floral warren]

try the map folders for rocks

[teal quarry]

it only contains sections of the maps

like "Underwater east 1"

I'd think it'd be in Primal Earth > CoreBlueprints but theres only dossiers and uasset files

[floral warren]

Are you looking on win10 or steam?

[teal quarry]

windows 10

[floral warren]

you are looking for uasset files

the uasset for the rock

[teal quarry]

but theres no subcategories for rocks its just "Resource Containers"

[floral warren]

however if there's only one file as you initially said that confirms this

[teal quarry]

tbh I only just realised how bad the ark light engine is

like in viking bay waterfall cave you can see large portions of light inside which comes from the outside

[floral warren]

stuff like this

[teal quarry]

I'll have a look

I tried to follow the path I got to about environment and theres no eden :(

[floral warren]

And what is there?

[teal quarry]

Space and Sky

no eden or whatever, similar to scorched earth which is just sky

same with gen 1 too

I'm gonna install ue4 rq

like 5 gb and have a quick look

[floral warren]

the files are cooked, you can't just open them

[teal quarry]

oh

[floral warren]

the devkit would be an option but that's a large download

do you own steam/epic?

[teal quarry]

I own both

but they're not installed

I found .tbl ref files in Content > AssetTables but no actual foliage files

[teal quarry]

I'd imagine that the command system used between the versions would be the exact same between versions so I suspect that a command Starting with Blueprint or whatever that paths to these would maybe work

I might be wrong though

[floral warren]

well yes you're looking for the asset path which is what i sent, it's just the files are set up different in win10. like you can't spawn some creatures on other maps even with bp path on win10 for example but can on steam

[teal quarry]

there has to be an easy simple way to do this considering that the youtuber bam managed to do it with his server

in the windows 10 ark directory there are also individual installs which are not within the ark folder but they only seem to contain parts of the maps

with only .umap files

[floral warren]

probably looking at files that aren't all packed into one. like steam files.

[teal quarry]

yeah maybe

I had to manipulate the windows permissions to even gain access to these files :/

I still have all my custom paintings but the problem is I can't find the file which they're located in anymore

it appears the file organisation has changed but idk

I still have all my files left over even after uninstalling ark so I've found the extinction rocks in my ark steam folder

stuff like "T_EXT_Rock_Weathered_MED_D_N"

now I would like to spawn that in however you would form a command to do so

just as a test

[floral warren]

^

[teal quarry]

I'm going to verify and repair my game files

[floral warren]

Why?

[teal quarry]

see if it allows me to see them

they have to be stored somewhere but I'm not sure where :/

[floral warren]

it's not corruption, it's just 'the files are set up differently'

take a look at seekfreecontent in steam, for example.

[teal quarry]

where would it be located

[teal quarry]

I don't have that

I'll see if reinstalling ark on steam lets me see that

although I do remember seeing files called something like that on windows

[floral warren]

Well you can't use them anyway

because they arent set up in a way where you can see the individual assets, just like win10 seems to be

[teal quarry]

yeah I found them on windows under > ShooterGame > Content > PrimalEarth > CoreBlueprints

man that sucks

I don't know how they did it then

[floral warren]

^

[teal quarry]

but how would they do that though since the files themselves are stored inside these uasset files

[severe island]

win10 has assets packaged differently, you won't really get far.

[teal quarry]

so a test command would be cheat spawnactor "?"

[severe island]

and that's a texture.

[floral warren]

Because on the steam files you can see the actual files, it's not all packed into one.

[floral warren]

^

[teal quarry]

but I'm not sure how they would actually do this then

[floral warren]

because you can see the individual files- and this the paths- on steam

[teal quarry]

so you could use them on windows too? because this was done on the windows/xbox version of ark

[floral warren]

the issue here is just that you cannot find the paths yourself because of this

[teal quarry]

I tried to ask them too and they just closed the ticket :/

ok I made a big break through

I went on the server and they're using an item called "Hotspring Benches"

@undone comet

you said to add people on discord about water veins and them being placeable so do you know how?

I managed to spawn in a water vein

using the command > admincheat spawnactor "Blueprint'/Game/ScorchedEarth/Structures/WaterWell/WaterVein_Base_BP.WaterVein_Base_BP'" 50 0 0

let me try the fenrir statue on fjordur rq

ok I can't because the folder for it is empty

[young minnow]

do you know the ID for this or is it a mod?

[young minnow]

There is a server configuration in the patch notes that removes the nerf

[tawdry pawn]

Can someone send me the code for the .ini to add Bloodstalkers to the redwoods on rag please

[olive talon]

Not sure why you posted this in two channels, but did the pastebin not help you?

[young minnow]

I do not have such code

for that specific

yet

[olive talon]

You have extinction and genesis 1 dinos on rag

[young minnow]

here i am now forgetting what I have

[olive talon]

I looked before I sent the pastebin

[young minnow]

Yea just checked it and it does have stalkers in redwood

Along with Gacha's and drakes

[tawdry pawn]

Which channel can I post images on there is something that is confusing me

[young minnow]

Only place you can post images are in #building-screenshots & #fanart-and-screenshots but it a strict criteria and if it no fit we delete. Correct @olive talon

[olive talon]

Can dm the image if you'd like

[tawdry pawn]

Oh it's just the code is split its something like

Bog spider
Gacha
Drake
Bog spider again

[young minnow]

yea the code is setup to have those creatures in redwood to spawn naturally

[tawdry pawn]

So they're all in together?

[young minnow]

Well they will all spawn in the redwoods but are spread out

like they all wont spawn on each other

[tawdry pawn]

I mean if I put them in can I just have the spider and not the other 2

[young minnow]

you would have to edit the code to remove them

[tawdry pawn]

Oof okay thanks for the help

[merry thorn]

Anyone know what the actual irl time of one day on scorched is? It seems to not be the same as island.

[pure vessel]

I made a bit of a fucky wucky. I uploaded my character to a new server that didn't have any mods yet, will my modded inventory stuff show up and be okay once I install all the same mods and log back in?

[plush sky]

I made my own dedicated server and everything works but when I try to join it from the ark server list it takes a while and gives me a timeout. How can I fix this?
I also port forwarded it

[young minnow]

#735196255483068497

[clear blaze]

thanks

[tawdry pawn]

Can someone tell me why this code won't spawn Bloodstalkers on rag?

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesredwoods_lostisland",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="BogSpider",EntryWeight=0.5,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("BogSpider_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="BogSpider_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5)))

[floral warren]

answered in #bobs-with-probs

[teal quarry]

its not a mod I know that for certain

its done with a command

[worldly parrot]

Anybody got an actual fix for unofficial PC sessions "no sessions found". All other options in the session filter will show servers but it takes many trys to get the unofficial PC sessions to show. Is there actually a way to get around this?? It used to be fine never had this problem but the last 6 months or so its become a regular pain

[frosty lodge]

having problems connecting to a dedicated server I'm setting up using Ark server manager

anyone have any ideas?

[young minnow]

do you know the command?

[floral warren]

Spawnactor

[young minnow]

Yea I know the spawn actor command

but not sure what the hot spring part is

[floral warren]

Ah

[humble thicket]

any server host on pc can help me install mods on a modded server cause when i do the mods dont show up

[tawdry pawn]

I have some questions about if weather or not I can add all these dinos safely to my rag server

fjordhawk, Amargasaurus, karkinos, Basilisk, desmodus, dinopithacus, Enforcer, ferox, Megachalon, Magmasaur, rockdrake, ravager, Sinomicrops, roll rat, Tropeoganathus

I don't care about nests but

1. Do the desmodus need to be in caves? Can I just have them spawn at Damiens atoll or something?
2. can I make Megachalons spawn on land? Or do they only spawn in water?
3. Are Tropeoganathuses like quetzals where they have their own spawn container or can I have them spawn more like pteranadons?

If there is any other issues with the other creatures I've listed please let me know

[floral warren]

if you mean self-hosted, just copy mod folders and .mod files and add ids to the ini

[floral warren]

dinopith won't spawn on maps other than valg or fjordur, they get turned into raptors and need a mod to fix
creatures in unique containers don't need to be in their own container, they can be spawned anywhere
water dinos however can overspawn in containers that are set to not count water dinos, but aside from the swamp and some cave ones i doubt there'll be many cases of that

[tawdry pawn]

Okay I got the Dinopithicus part but could you maybe explain the rest as though you were talking to a toddler?

[floral warren]

giga on can be put in giga spawn, or can be put in beach spawn

'water dino' can't be put on beach spawn if beach spawn isn't supposed to recognise water dinos exist

[tawdry pawn]

Ah so I could still make quetzals spawn anywhere else?

[floral warren]

Yep

[tawdry pawn]

So should I use a shallow water or swamp spawn?

[floral warren]

though not sure how their flight works, there's a chance they'd fly outside the containers resulting in overspawns

[tawdry pawn]

Ah

[floral warren]

would be gradual though, so not an issue if you dinowipe regularly regardless

Just give them a low weight

[floral warren]

For the turtles.. i can check

[tawdry pawn]

What would you consider a regular weight, high weight and low weight?

[floral warren]

Depends entirely on the container, which you can check on https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_entries

[dawn geode]

Case #29242 @autumn chasm has been muted for 1 hour.
Reason: Posting a unauthorised Discord invite link

[floral warren]

Generally weights are around 0.04-0.12 but it varies too much between maps and containers to give a concrete answer

i can check if turtles are water dinos when the devkit loads

[tawdry pawn]

I would think so I mean they spawn in the ocean biome but they have legs so it's confusing

[floral warren]

it's actually a completely arbitrary value

[tawdry pawn]

So I should check the spawn weights of the other dinos in the same area and see whats high and what's low?

[floral warren]

Yep

[tawdry pawn]

Ah

[floral warren]

amount of dinos is another thing to consider, as well as size- you'll want sinomas weighted higher than paracers, for example, because one is hella easier to find and harder to kill. Predation being another factor

[tawdry pawn]

Yeah I think I get wym I made Bloodstalkers spawn in the redwoods but they pick fights with bears and always die

[humble thicket]

while you're loading?

the solution is to wait

yes

it's normal, and depends on modlist, pc specs, etc

just sit there until it's done

or go do something else

did you add mods?

yeah that's why

which mods?

yes

[tawdry pawn]

Have You checked yet?

[floral warren]

the devkit does not load fast

[tawdry pawn]

Ah I see is that like the entire code?

[humble thicket]

it's certainly something

300 gb by default iirc?

@humble thicket you didn't use a mrmeola list, did you? 😅

[floral warren]

360 or so, but there's also shaers

[floral warren]

Whatever is referenced by whatever im loading

[floral warren]

thanks, you brought up my trauma 👍 (/jk)

[humble thicket]

god.

[tawdry pawn]

Ohhhhh so if you search water creatures it brings everything that is listed as a water creature up?

[humble thicket]

ok

I'm just gonna

no they are not

replace all the reusable mods with lethal's reusables

[floral warren]

Nope, i just opened the megachelon BP and then it wanted to load whatever was referenced in that bp
I'd need to open each individual dino to find if they are or aren't

[humble thicket]

difficulty 8+ can be done with ini

[tawdry pawn]

Ohhhhh okay I think I understand it a teeny bit

[humble thicket]

don't use "better mammoths" and kbd

[floral warren]

a youtuber known for some of the worst modlists load time/performance/stability wise due to stacking multiple overhaul mods together. your list is pretty mild in comparison tbh, it's mostly the fact that the titanus ones are all split up that makes it look huge. There are a few redundant ones though, and if you're stacking a mod with a collection of creatures and standalones, bloated load times are a lesser issue

[humble thicket]

other ones are actually alright that's just a lot of dino mods

[floral warren]

Yeah the difficulty ones are ones that shouldn't be done with mods, because they don't stack

[humble thicket]

i saw [DEPRECATED] with 12 lines and panicked

[floral warren]

Which mod?

[humble thicket]

sorry (discontinued)

[floral warren]

click this boi and wait

[humble thicket]

the parachute

[floral warren]

Ah

because there's another mod in there that may or may not be the depreceated version

[tawdry pawn]

What?

[floral warren]

that's what i had to lol, just click it and wait

Giant turtle is not a water dino

So don't put it in a swamp water spawner. Any water spawner you add it to, be careful and keep an eye out for overspawns. It'll be fine on any non-solo land spawners

[tawdry pawn]

So could I add it to the snow biome?

[floral warren]

Yep

[humble thicket]

how are you gonna tame them though

[tawdry pawn]

I don't want to

[floral warren]

with pain, just like gen1

[floral warren]

this is a very valid response

[tawdry pawn]

Just for the shell bits

Yeah I did it once never again

[humble thicket]

me with amarga

cloned that thing, never doing it again

[tawdry pawn]

Haha yeah

[tawdry pawn]

Am I okay to add desmodus to areas that aren't caves too btw?

[humble thicket]

difficulty mod is still a bad idea but everything else checka out

[floral warren]

Yep, generally it's the container you're adding to that is what you need to be careful of, not where it naturally spawns

[humble thicket]

it just doesn't work correctly to the best of my knowledge

alright then

👍 👍

[tawdry pawn]

Okay great and last question do the magmasaurs and amargas have anything out of the ordinary or can I just add them like anything else?

[floral warren]

90% of creatures don't have special conditions, so yes

It's easier to ask what has issues than what doesn't

[tawdry pawn]

Okay great because I heard Astrocetus don't appear outside of the space biome because they're invisible is this true?

[floral warren]

yep, they're one of the 10%

[tawdry pawn]

I see so absolutely everything on that list apart from the monkeys are fine?

[tawdry pawn]

Sorry just realised it was really far up

fjordhawk, Amargasaurus, karkinos, Basilisk, desmodus, dinopithacus, Enforcer, ferox, Megachalon, Magmasaur, rockdrake, ravager, Sinomicrops, roll rat, Tropeoganathus

[floral warren]

Yep

just make sure you're spawning small ferox, not large

large ferox also gets raptored lol

[tawdry pawn]

Yeah good job you said that I would've totally done that lol

[floral warren]

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1905603638409201948/B04B384698B918536B90B74EDCD1ECE38CC15488/?imw=637&imh=358&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=true

👍

[tawdry pawn]

Okay that's confusing but thank you for your help and time bro it's massively appreciated hope you have a good day😃👍

[floral warren]

Yep, it is confusing lmao. accurate though. Np, you too!

Oh hang on don't use ultra stacks

It's outdated so you'll potentially run into issues with compatibility

Like astrodelphis weren't tameable

I'd use INI personally, you can stack most items by just changing one number

Items that don't stack naturally need some individual editing, but it's all described how to to that in the pins

Also note that removing the stack mod will remove all the items it edits (INI doesn't do that). But it seems this is your first load with the mod, so you wouldn't lose anything if so

There's a pin that describes how to get to it, and also one for the editing of both the stacks, and difficulty

Yep, except items that don't stack naturally

Honey, mutton, prime meat are the 3 big ones off the top of my head

Well it's more that you're using many other mods, you can't guarantee that the edited element will work with them. Like astrodelphis didn't

There's other issues like the mod items getting deleted without the mod (or becoming ghost items in the obelisk). So once you use a stack mod, you're stuck with it

A general rule of thumb with mods is 'Don't remap (make something modded, rather than edited vanilla) if you don't absolutely have to. This is the case with stack mods- they used to have to be used, and no longer do

last thing you might want to do is also boost player and dino weight then. Both have sliders on the menu

No problem!

Yep, under that, but in game.ini Like this

Then you'd have a line below that for prime meat, and a line below that for mutton, etc

Sure

[tawdry pawn]

Can I spawn X creatures on rag with .ini?

[floral warren]

yes, except for those with alpha variants

[tawdry pawn]

What do you mean like alpha rex so the x rex wont spawn?

[floral warren]

other way round. No x rex, only normal and alpha

same issue as the dinopithecus, the large ferox, x mosa, x raptor, etc

[tawdry pawn]

Ah I see because I set x rexs to spawn and they convert to normal ones but it makes sense now

Are you on xbox?

[somber quartz]

On Playstation.

[tawdry pawn]

Oh yeah duh just looked at the symbol on your name lol

[floral warren]

yeah to massively simplify a convoluted system; game tries to spawn alphas by rarely spawning them instead of normal a normal rex. it does this by saying 'when a rex spawns, spawn an alpha rex or normal rex'. there's a tickbox which controls whether that affects child classes. wildcard practically never has it ticked, so the rule sees x rex as normal rex, and thus takes x rex and turns it into normal or alpha

[tawdry pawn]

Ohhhhh I get it now I also have another question if you don't mind

I have roll rats set to spawn at DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Mudslide_C but they won't is this a problem with the rats or the region?

[floral warren]

It's more likely the code itself, i'd expect things there to overspawn though

[tawdry pawn]

I thought maybe it's hardcoded to only spawn vultures or something

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Mudslide_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="MoleRat",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("MoleRat_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="MoleRat_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

Is that okay?

[floral warren]

Looks fine, i'd suggest trying to look with a savefile reader like larkator if you can to verify they aren't spawning https://github.com/coldino/Larkator

But check for other things like using the container in 2 different lines, or the configs not applying

[tawdry pawn]

I see you said earlier they would probably overspawn anyway so I might just move them

[floral warren]

Yep, solo containers aren't safe to add to

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/691800932379262976/939982806141005834/unknown.png

[tawdry pawn]

Is that an allo overspawn?

[floral warren]

Yep

yeah ooms are affected by a lot of things, both within and outside the game

you can have less programs running, there's a low memory launch option, lower graphics, fewer (large) mods, but ultimately you're limited by hardware

-lowmemory

[tawdry pawn]

When I add dinos via .ini why does only one creature I add into an area spawn? For example I have both managarmrs and Amargasaurs set to spawn in the snow forest on rag but only the Amargasaurs spawn

[past marlin]

Did you do 2 adds, or are both in the same add?

[tawdry pawn]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowForest_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Amargasaurus",EntryWeight=0.2,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.2)))

2 of those

The other one just has the managarmr in it

[past marlin]

THey have to be in the same add for a container.....the second add for a spawner will be ignored.

[tawdry pawn]

Can you show me an example?

[past marlin]

Yep...let me put up an ini I have.

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="CI_DinoSpawnEntries_OtterPonds_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Otters",EntryWeight=5.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CrystalSnow_Otter_Character_BP_C","CrystalOtter_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.5,1.5))))

That is one I used on Crystal Isles, to force in some modded otters.

[tawdry pawn]

Okay so all I would need to change is the 3 names to whatever I want to spawn but wait can the "anentryname" bit be whatever I want or does it have to be the dino id?

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="dinospawnentries_ragnorok_snowplains_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="snowspawns",EntryWeight=0.2,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("IceJumper_Character_BP_C","Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.2,0.2))))

So would this work? And can this be as many creatures as I want or just 2? And if I did this how would I make one more common than the other?

[past marlin]

Sorry....multi tasking....

The entry name, you can pretty much make up what you want.

[tawdry pawn]

Ah I see

[past marlin]

You can call it Bobber1.

There are other variations you can do, but this should be the simplest for what you want to do.

[tawdry pawn]

Ahhh I think I get it so do I need to remove the ones I already have to add in the double? Also say I were to do 2 of these for the same place with different creatures would it be the same issue? And if I wanted to add say the mana to 2 different biomes would I need to do anything different?

[past marlin]

You should be good, as you would be changing two different spawners.

[tawdry pawn]

What do you mean?

[past marlin]

Well, if that spawner is used in multiple biomes, then you will be fine.

But, you can also add that code and add those to two different spawners, if there were different spawners for different biomes.

Not sure if it is important (but probably is), make sure you use the correct case in the NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString name.

[tawdry pawn]

Okay so what's confusing me is some code I borrowed of of someone to get manas spawning to begin with has them in both the plains and the forest but one of his entry names is IJ1 and the other is IJ2 so if they were both IJ1 would anything be different?

[tawdry pawn]

Creature id?

[ember minnow]

Any good stater unofficial serves pc?

[tawdry pawn]

Or the region?

[past marlin]

Yes. Use DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowPlains_C instead of dinospawnentries_ragnorok_snowplains_C

Not sure if that is case senstive, but I would assume it is.

[tawdry pawn]

Yeah I realised I spelt it wrong idk why but I struggle with ragnarok

[tawdry pawn]

And I think it is case sensitive either way all my .ini has caps

Also if you don't mind one last question before I get out of your hair

What is the difference between the first and second number you put in? so the weight and the percentage?

[unique lintel]

Can someone help me do a server transfer on PvE

[tawdry pawn]

Also do I need to remove the code that makes the amargas and manas spawn separately before I add the one that has them together in it?

[past marlin]

Yes. You can just put an 'x' in front of the name, and that will basically comment it out..

But, so long as that line is first, it should ignore the others.

[latent pumice]

When I select a map in ASM does it automatically enable the dlc Dino’s it’s supposed to have? Or do I need to manually enable Dino’s for specific Maps?

Also what’s ARK prime mean?

[verbal thistle]

Hi folks, I have a player on our modded Fjordur (dlc map) server who seems to be having trouble with one of the bosses. I think he means the Overseer since he's talking about needing dragon heads for it.

His comment was thus: "Right up date re- did the world boss killed it and we all exploded and died lol has anyone on here done it and is that the normal or did i get another glitch?"

Is the overseer known to be buggy on Fjordur?

[bleak ivy]

there is no overseer on fjordur.

the dragon flag are for the fenrir boss I think

[verbal thistle]

Thanks for that. So then, is the fenrir boss fight known to be buggy? 😄

[bleak ivy]

never done it, but it has lots of AOE attacks that can damage riders I believe

[lucid solstice]

If they are mentioning world boss, it's probably not the fenrir. If it is, the fenrir basically one shots the player. Beyla does the same if you don't have a gas mask

[bleak ivy]

ah right the mini bosses are sometimes called world bosses for whatever reason

[verbal thistle]

Yeah, the term 'world boss' gets used in Conan Exiles for bosses that hang around in the world as opposed to instanced fights.

[lucid solstice]

It's probably best to continue this discussion in #bobs-with-probs since it's not related to server settings though

[verbal thistle]

OK cool. In that case I'll just keep prodding him to be more specific. Will take it to bobs. Thanks guys!

[tawdry pawn]

How would I do that just

X ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowPlains_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="CaveWolf",EntryWeight=0.2,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CaveWolf_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="CaveWolf_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.2))) like that?

So X then space or X no space and also does it need to be a cap?

[tawdry pawn]

If you're wondering that's just one space

[tawdry pawn]

Anyone know why my Fjord hawks won't spawn with this?

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Scotland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="highlands",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Tropeognathus_Character_BP_C","FjordHawk_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.1,0.1))))

And also my magmasaurs and Basilisks won't spawn but the tropeos will

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesWyvernTrench_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Volcano",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Cherufe_Character_BP_C","Basilisk_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.1,0.1))))

[bright mango]

Is there a console and latest log I can access when I'm running the server with systemctl? I want to be able to run a command and read its output from a discord bot

[lime glacier]

can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be pumpkin, gravestones, and scarecrows on the fjordur servers? I have a private server with the event enabled but they dont show up

[olive talon]

Stay in one area, they'll show up on the ground all over within your render distance.

[tawdry pawn]

Anyone know why my Fjord hawks won't spawn with this?

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Scotland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="highlands",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Tropeognathus_Character_BP_C","FjordHawk_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.1,0.1))))

And also my magmasaurs and Basilisks won't spawn but the tropeos will

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesWyvernTrench_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Volcano",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Cherufe_Character_BP_C","Basilisk_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.1,0.1))))

[past marlin]

Try it with a lower case "H" in Fjordhawk.

For the other, nothing leaps out at me, but, you could try increasing the EntryWeight and/or NPCsToSpawnPercentage.

Then do a dino wipe and wait for the server to refill, and see what happens.

[young minnow]

Did you ever get to manage to spawn one in?

[teal quarry]

No I gave up

but now I have the chinese font on steam version and I can't remember how to change it back its called like hans_cn or something

[young minnow]

cheat summon StructureBP_WoodBench_hotsprings_1_c

Well I figured it out

only works on Rag though

@undone comet didn't you want this too?

[teal quarry]

ty

[young minnow]

@late anvil

[teal quarry]

@glossy palm you too

wonder if theres a way to do it with rocks too

[young minnow]

would love to know if you can

[teal quarry]

somehow I doubt it but oh well

[plucky steeple]

Is there way too block cave entrances on ps4 unofficial servers?

[glossy palm]

Can you walk though it???

[young minnow]

no

[glossy palm]

Are they able to sit on it and mesh through

[young minnow]

Have not tested that

Just got the code working

[glossy palm]

Okay could you lmk when you do????

[glossy palm]

Also sorry but have you found out any other maps????

[young minnow]

Checked all the maps and it only works on rag

[glossy palm]

You thinking its probably a different code for every single map

[young minnow]

I do not think you could spawn this hotspring on any other map. Since hotsprings are only on Rag. Its like Charge nodes they can only be spawned on maps they are already on

[tawdry pawn]

What is the difference between entry weight and spawn percentage?

[young minnow]

Entry weight is increasing the chances of how often that creature would be chosen. Lets say you had a hat and in that hat you had 10 pieces of paper. Now we have 3 creatures Rex, Raptor & dodo.

If rex weight is 600 for example it would have 6 pieces of paper. The Raptor and dodo only have 2.

So when Ark goes and picks up a piece of paper, the chances of getting a rex are a lot higher since it has a higher weight than the other 2 creatures

Each one of those yellow & orange squares is a spawn zone.

Each zone has a capacity of 100%

What you are doing with the spawn % is telling the game, that the chosen creature can only take up x amount of that zone. For example if a Rex was set to 5% then it is only allow to take up 5% out of the 100% in each zone

@floral warrenMind if we get your english here, since you are expert at explaining this

[noble bramble]

so a friend has a nitrado server and made me admin, because he is blasting OW currently so i could use commands. is it possible to change server settings in the console as well? or would i need access to the nitrado account to change mating interval or enable dmg numbers for example?

[young minnow]

you need access to the nitrado account

[noble bramble]

thank you :)

[floral warren]

honestly looks like a pretty solid explanation

[upbeat veldt]

So odd question, I have 2 characters in one account in the same server. I lost that character a few months back and got back onto ark again and made a new character. I haven’t done any missions yet on my new character but some how missions are showing. Is it a weird glitch or do the missions carry over ? I also do not know if this is the right place to ask 🤷🏼‍♂️ just on a unofficial server so I thought worth a try lol

[glossy palm]

Lmk if you find any other good ones for other main maps if you do 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[tawdry pawn]

Thank you! I completely understood that surprisingly since ive been having so much trouble with this through the past couple of days😂

[hearty lava]

Yo, everytime I change the floating damage text in the game ini it reverts back to false. anyone know why?

[young minnow]

I am glad that made sense to you, was worried it made no sense haha

[floral warren]

make sure you have the game closed when you make the edit

[olive talon]

@humble thicket only works on ragnarok

[young minnow]

I tried it on all the maps and only rag worked.

I am trying to find one for other maps but no luck so far

[quick belfry]

Does anyone know how to get custom templates downloaded on ps4?

[cinder fractal]

Any fixes with the game kicking me out whenever I am trying to download my dinos on a friends non dedic server? Lost a bunch of dinos this way

[runic osprey]

I'm just starting to breed dinos for the first time. When all of my tribe was offline last night, it seems like the two dinos we had mating didn't produce any offspring. I feel like I saw something about this, but was curious if there was some setting that I could change where dinos still stay active while everyone is offline. Something about stasis maybe?

[visual hedge]

So to change the difficulty to something like 18 or like that i would go into the GameUserSettings file and change DifficultyOffset right?

[olive talon]

See pinned messages for OverrideOfficialDifficulty

[visual hedge]

oh ok thank you

wait so do i still need to add the override thing? im trying to make a crazy max level

[olive talon]

Don't change the offset. OverrideOfficialDifficulty changes the max wild dino level. OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6 is 180, OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10 is 300

[visual hedge]

Thank you :3 time to crash my computer with the craziest dodo ever

[acoustic pasture]

is Fjo_AB_DinoSpawnEntries_F6_BioCave_C a dead region? I've been trying to add anything to the caverns of time via ini and nothing is showing up

[acoustic pasture]

Yup

[fluid galleon]

My friend was trying to join my server last night. He kept getting a server timeout right as the mods finished loading, during the smokey load screen when trying to join. Anything I we can try to avoid that? Also, does anyone know what causes this to happen?

[cosmic iris]

It might be his pc not being able to run the mods

[fluid galleon]

@cosmic iris but his comper loads all of the mods just fine. It only times out at the last second.

[cosmic iris]

Hmm idk

[latent pumice]

is there a way to disable halloween even stuff such as candy corn drops and skeleton dinos? on your own server? im using ark server manager

[olive talon]

You can turn off the event

[latent pumice]

how?

[olive talon]

Gameusersettings.ini,

ActiveEvent=None

Somewhere under [ShooterGame] should work, if not you could just switch it to another event.

[willow venture]

If I paint a tamed reaper queen will the kings have different colors?
Like similar to the queen
Or will they have to default color?

[young minnow]

You are painting them with a paintbrush right? @willow venture

[willow venture]

Admin painting

[young minnow]

Admin painting will then affect the creatures offspring colours

[willow venture]

Ok I was just making sure thank you

[humble thicket]

I have a shoockbyte server does anyone know how to change the loot drop rarity

[humble thicket]

General settings. Bottom it says loot drop rarity, the better the loot the higher the number

Make it too high you'll get blueprints only with primitive stuff

Put it at like 2000 percent max

[tribal geode]

is there anything I can do in my singleplayer world to get good loot in different ways or atleast make it better or easier than caves, because caves kind of take alot of time to get something decent

[hexed badger]

Please fix Primitive+... Please!
Dino spawns broken on several maps.
Fjordr and Lost Island are unplayable.
Can't make advance workbench without already having an advanced workbench
Can only make steel in Indy forge, which requires steel to craft.
Can't spawn several newer dinos.

Read it wrong

[frosty gorge]

how do i get stats icons on the bottom right of my screen, like weight, health, hunger, thirst, speed etc

i cant send the photo here so hopefully someone knows what im talking abt

[olive talon]

Options, change your UI scale

[outer basalt]

Has anyone played with Structure Plus before and know how to configure it? I added it to my server but it seems like something arent working :/

[floral warren]

Ini files. Link at bottom of page has a link to the settings

[floral warren]

There’s a button on the menu to reset to default

[tribal geode]

doesnt work

it only changes the settings on the singleplayer menu not all the ini settings

[floral warren]

Raise loot quality means you’ll get something faster. You could add loot to dino death caches but that’d be complex and timely to set up. As far as non configuration- Genesis have easier sources of mass bps from missions, there’s also desert/sea crates

[floral warren]

Interesting. delete the ini files then

Take a copy of the graphics part of GUS so you don’t need to redo your graphics settings

[tribal geode]

yeah that worked thanks

[frosty gorge]

i know this might sound dumb but how come i see videos with like lvl 100+ dinos but most of the dinos i come across are lvl 1 or below 10? im level 64? is lvl a problem?

[olive talon]

Story maps up to extinction have the lowest wild dino level distribution. You'll see lower levels more frequently than anything. If you want higher levels more evenly, since you're on xbox, switch to any free dlc map, or the genesis maps.

[frosty gorge]

oh ok, its just that i see a video on the map the island and i see like 100+ rex's and other dinos

[olive talon]

If they're on pc, they likely have either edited files, have mods, or if on consoles, have edited the videos to just show them finally finding the higher levels.

[frosty gorge]

ohh ok

[floral warren]

level 1 means your difficulty slider is low

raise it, tick max difficulty pox, and do a dinowipe with destroywilddinos command,

[fluid galleon]

As an admin of a mp server, is there a console command that I can use to get all of my tribemate's inventory back after he died?

[winged panther]

Me and my boyfriend are playing together on an unofficial pvp server and when he just came online he came into the character selection even though his character base is mine

Anyone know how he gets his character back?

[tawdry pawn]

Is there a way I could change the tame methods for creatures via .ini? like knockout tame magmasaurs

[mental pike]

nope

[tawdry pawn]

Oof okay thanks

[frosty gorge]

how do i run admin command

[ashen ocean]

In S+, can irrigation pipes be hidden?

[bleak ivy]

I think so I know there are the ones that go in walls/floors that are invisible.

yeah just checked S+ pipes can go invisible

[ashen ocean]

Right I've seen those. My worry is because I'm quite far from a water source and while getting the pipes down to the ocean won't be any trouble, it will be hideous

[bleak ivy]

yeah, just go to the instake and you should be able to make them all invisible once its done

or use the S+ multi-tool

[olive talon]

If you want, you can make the intake place without needing a water source

[bleak ivy]

AllowIntakeToPlaceWithoutWater=true for that

[olive talon]

Under the [StructuresPlus] header in your gus.ini

[ashen ocean]

Oh that's how that works. I had heard about it. But naw, I try to stay as legit as I can. I bend a few rules but I figure I can find a way to get water.

Thanks for the tip though 🙂

Sometimes, you may not see your servers because they don’t make the list. There are thousands of active Ark: Survival Evolved servers at any given time and the ones shown in the in game listing are all chosen randomly. It may just be down to luck.

[robust torrent]

Will the pumpkins I collected stay in my vault if our server keeps the event active after the official event is over?

[olive talon]

Assets get removed once the event ends, which it already has so they'll likely be removed soon.

[robust torrent]

Will there be an update for that to happen or will they just vanish 😕

[olive talon]

Not sure, since the event itself lasted longer than it should

[bleak ivy]

its an update that removes them, if you don't update they should stay

[robust torrent]

Thank you, and being wildcard we of course have no idea when said update is 🤣

[bleak ivy]

usually its just whenever the next client update is. the only guaranteed client update is turkey trials. but there could be one before that

[lime matrix]

I thought they were leaving holiday assets in game now since this is the last support year so unofficials could run their events anytime going forward

[distant veldt]

Anyone know why the upload button on my unofficial server would be greyed out? I'm trying to upload some dinos from the island to go to a genesis 2 server, but only one shows up in the list and the upload button is greyed out

[olive talon]

They may have uploads disabled.

[distant veldt]

I've been through all the settings and I can't find anything that would be preventing it.

Cross ark travel isenabled, none of the preventuploads are enabled,

[olive talon]

The genesis 2 server, is it your server as well?

[distant veldt]

It's not, but I can talk to the owner. But that shouldn't prevent me from uploading them on the island, should it?

[olive talon]

If the genesis2 server has uploads disabled, then yes, that would prevent it.

Also if they don't have the same clusterID, but usually servers without that ID do not show up.

[distant veldt]

The island server isn't clustered, so the genesis2 server shouldn't affect it, though. Unless the server not being clustered is the reason I can't upload

[olive talon]

If the server owner has it disabled or has it set to only their cluster having transfers, then that would stop you. As I just said.

[distant veldt]

I appreciate the help.

My dream of breeding perfect shadowmanes is delayed >.<

[delicate fox]

What's more heavy on server performance? Platform saddles, rafts, or both?

[stray flume]

so sorry, is there anyone who can help me solve this problem with worldbuff not working in the base?

[young minnow]

The code you created will make it so you only need 100 element dust to make 1 unstable element. However your code has errors in it, so I made the correct one for you

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_ElementRefined_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_ElementDust_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

[timber zephyr]

Does anyone have a way to be able to safely upload a character on a single server multiplayer?

[little glacier]

does that work with singleplayer?

[lucid solstice]

Yes it does work in singleplayer

[little glacier]

Where is the patchnotes for version 352.3?

[tidal sphinx]

cheerz

[charred plank]

Hello
Update is already available for your servers ?

Asm doesn't found anything here

[merry thorn]

Give it like 4 hours

[merry thorn]

PATCH NOTES
Surprise added a dino with serious repercussions for anyone playing pvp.

Fixed an exploit.

[dull rapids]

when the unofficials server be on?

[merry thorn]

They are on most likely. But they haven't been updated. Files need to go to the providers then be deployed. Give it a few hours.

[charred plank]

they are

my servers just captured the update

(asm/pc steam-epic)

[runic osprey]

Do I need to turn off the Fear Evolved event or select another event from my G-Portal settings for this update? Does anyone know?

[olive talon]

The update is adding the carchar.

[runic osprey]

So I'm assuming you're saying this isn't another event update to something for like Thanksgiving or whatever?

Either way, I guess my question still remains... Do I need to unselect Fear Evolved from my settings in G-Portal now? Or do their updates automatically take care of that? Sorry for the ignorance in the question, just new to hosting and Fear Evolved was my first event update since starting.

[humble thicket]

is the Carcharodontosaurus being added to lost island severs?

[olive talon]

Not an unofficial server setup question. Carchar spawns with gigas, so whatever map has a giga spawner most likely. Please use #ark-survival-ascended or #bobs-with-probs for ingame questions unrelated to server setups.

[civic solstice]

Which maps will the Carcharodontosaurus be on?

[humble thicket]

oh sorry i have a server so i didnt know if i needed to do anything to enable it

[olive talon]

Answered right above your question.

[civic solstice]

lol, missed it due to not recognizing 'carchar'

[olive talon]

Should I have said carcharger yw though, check pins in #general for taming

[civic solstice]

Is the new server patch available yet for unofficial servers?

[civic solstice]

Yes, it is.

[sweet moat]

My ark servers aren't loading idk what to do?

[civic solstice]

shut down, patch, restart.

[sweet moat]

I did it's not working for any servers so idk what to do

[native rain]

There is an issue with nitrodo for Xbox servers atm

[civic solstice]

takes my server about 7 minutes to come online after restarting

[sweet moat]

Ty

[sweet moat]

Do you know when they should be up

[balmy peak]

by patch you mean?

[civic solstice]

I mean as a server operator patch your instance of Ark

[dapper iris]

Ive shut down twice and refreshed several times but server not appearing in the list

[modern gale]

Blahhhh nitrodo taking a bit

[dapper iris]

Unofficial PC

[civic solstice]

I shut down my server, ran the utility to apply steam patches, then started up the server. Done.

[dapper iris]

Im xbox but the server is through pc

[fluid galleon]

How would it work for someone who bought Ark off the Epic Games store to join an Ark server with mods from the steam workshop?

[floral warren]

only steam has mods, so they cant

modded servers don't even show up

[fluid galleon]

What? Well that's lame.

[floral warren]

blame epic for not having a workshop (and about 2 dozen other things)

EGS is just shit

[dapper iris]

servers unofficial pc back up

[brisk linden]

Yours are back up because mine aren’t yet?

[dapper iris]

just got in

[brisk linden]

Damn

[dapper iris]

reset

[brisk linden]

I have

But I’ll do it one more time

Nope

Still not up 😢

[brisk linden]

Has anyone on ps4. Are their servers up

[fringe cradle]

Any other Xbox servers having issues?

[young minnow]

If they are Nitrado, they are probs still updating

[fringe cradle]

Yeah, mine are updated but my players and I are having issues getting into the servers themselves. I'm gonna try rebooting all of them again to fix it.

[fringe cradle]

I rebooted all the servers. My game crashes when I attempt to load into a server. This is happening with most if not all of my players and I've heard it's happening on a couple other clusters as well.

[upper summit]

all of the cluster i play on is up expect the server with my base on it

[fringe cradle]

Mine's all up but no one can log in.
