I just wanted to ask a similar question. In my timezone, the default event times would be 6 am and 6 pm, so I added -NewYearEvent and in addition ?NewYear1UTC=1672570800 and ?NewYear2UTC=1672599600 to the start parameters. In the server start log, It displays "attempting to run" but then displays the default timestamps, not the ones I entered. Does anybody know what is wrong?
to many to list here. But if you google ARK LOOT DROPS its should be the second one down
I found the mistake. I added the timestamp parameters via "server args" in ASM and separated the "?" parameters by blanks. Bad idea xD
i dont wanna know what is in them, just what is it. Like are they just bonus things you can find in the regular loot drops? or is it a special drop different from regular
Interesting: My unofficial: I've been using the S+ Mutator to enable breeding of Wyverns. This morning that feature does not make Wyverns breedable, but it still works on Phoenixes
Wyverns are breedable in vanilla, you don't need the mutator for that and haven't for a few months now.
I do not see 'enable mating' in the behavior radial menu
Vanilla wyverns have been breedable since the release of crystal isles.
If they are modded they might need an ini change.
I checked Fire Wyverns that were grabbed from eggs recently, not modded or created
They are breedable. Wiki has patches https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Wyvern. Yours sound bugged.
thank you
are you trying to breed them on Abb? have you tried them in an incu?
I picked up eggs on Scorched Earth, and raised them, have been mating them on same map (no transfer) and today they do not offer the mating option.
Sounds like I need to do a server reboot
yea i think @olive talon is correct, Let me kown if the restart fixes it ( im curious lol)
I am as well.
Correct or curious😋
both, always both
do you use classic fliers
yes I use classic fliers
then they are modded. don't use cf, it's a buggy, overspawning mess. Release any you have in cropods and use the vanilla speed levelling config instead
what is vanilla speed levelling config?
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=true in game.ini
TY, that is not a setting I've seen before
@mental pike they were modded wyverns, not a bug.
? Does Classic Fliers make wyverns unbreedable?
Yes, you have to enable an ini change with that mod, as I said before.
Here.
10,000 + ini settings in Ark. How you keep all this straight amazes me
Some stuff is relatively easy. Eclipse remembers far more.
The ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server has a wide variety of configuration options that control its behavior and adjust many aspects of the game.
it helps that i mess with configs as a hobby tbh xD
Yes
im not very familiar with tribe, decay or structure configs though
Tribe stuff is annoying to begin with
i have an ark server and i want to have some mods. i can see them in engrams but i cant learn them, all on the server have the same problem did anyone know how to solve it?
Try mindwipe
Server reboot resolved the problem with my Wyverns. Thank you all
ok thx i will try
is there a augment where we can turn off specificly any kind of gen2 mission world buffs?
or a list of all buffs how we can decide which is cool to be on and which not?
Specificly im looking for babyboom and all the other stuff official network turns off aswell in event time
There are these? I don't know that you can turn off individual missions.
bDisableGenesisMissions- Disables missions on Genesis
bDisableWorldBuffs- Disables world effects from Missions (Genesis: Part 2) altogether.
bEnableWorldBuffScaling- Makes world effects from Missions (Genesis: Part 2) scale from server settings, rather than add/subtract a flat amount to the value at runtime.
i think there have to be one because official network do it 😄
I know that, but I'm not seeing it in the config wiki unless I'm just missing it,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
The ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server has a wide variety of configuration options that control its behavior and adjust many aspects of the game.
it didnt work
u have in in the upper left corner in endgram window where u can mark maps, unmak all should work
Edit: right cornor
didnt work
mark them all and unmark again?
nope
I tried
they look like i can unlock them but i cant unlock them
i can unlock all engrams except those in mods
from the mods
Dk if this is the right chat for this but does anyone know what mod could possibly be making triceratops passive tamable?
Immersive taming
That's what I thought but it's taking berries and not showing the immersive taming messages
deactivated immersive taming and problem persists
What other mods do you have
Current modlist:
Additional lighting
better beacons
eco Trees
meat spoiler
death recovery
CKF Remastered

I am a server admin and I am seeing this line in my server log and was wondering if someone could tell me what it means.

Is this someone hacking or just a glitch?
Can some 1 make logos? I need a logo for my upcoming ark server
There is an unnoficial pvp only the island
No it's just someone flying around with the free tek suit on gen2. This logging was added with the last patch. WC wanted to give some more warnings for cheats, but forgot to exclude their "free" tek suit 🤷♀️
no juz a debug msg wildcard forgot to hiden it . If u r running PVE server its fine ... if on a PVP server ppl spamming teksuit in combat ... u will c like 100 msg in a look ... then Crash 🥲
The new years event - what is that value? 1672480800. And how do we make sure it runs on unofficial? Nitrado for playstation, not in expert mode.
bruh how can i upload images here?
You can't
nice, i will paste my stuff here then i guess
my dedicated ark server running windows 10 pro basically keeps crashing around every hour without a clear error

This is the error in the windows crash viewer
or whatever its called
im guessing it has to do with the physx3.dll. but i have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Any help would be awesome
@modern hemlock try installing Microsoft directX from the official source
Are you on a map with reapers, worms, nameless or basilisks?
So worms could be a suspect. Try removing them and iceworms with NPCreplacements (doing a dinowipe after doing so)
Honestly it's unlikely to be the issue im thinking of, but without a crash message from ark itself, kinda gotta stab in the dark
Ah, saved>logs doesn't hold anything?
can i run into problems if ive installed the server and after that installed directx?
because i was missing some dll files when i installed the server
I had a similar issue and I installed the directX runtime from Microsoft and that was one of the file names
i have some error files yes but the most recent one is empty for some reason
Send the most recent one with actual content in it I spose
yes i manually installed the missing dll files which may cause the problems
Might be unrelated but also might help
i dont have any log files with usefull info
all of the files in there are just the startup messages
No .crachstacks with text, they're all blank?
oww
yea i have those
im just gonna paste it here.
its 14k characters over limit

Huh
Does the time on this one match any of the times you've crashed with this info?
Unfortunately, I have no idea what's going on in that :/
Just the build name, not related
Yeah uh check the time on that crash vs any times you've seen the info you grabbed at the start, see if there's been any time they're close to syncing up. Assuming you can find the non-ark logs back as far as this one
now i have same problem you can show your server args?
?NewYear1UTC=1672560001?NewYear2UTC=1672603201 -NewYearEvent the times picked on this example are supposed to be midnight and noon pacific time
Hi. Do anyone know how to set up your own server from single player? and will that sever still run when you log off? or will it be on pause as single player do? and is it possible to have mods?
not change it show default timestamps
?NewYear1UTC=1640970061?NewYear2UTC=1640970600 -NewYearEvent
as far as i know, to run it with default time just use -NewYearEvent (as a server arg if using asm)
skip the part on clustering
WELCOME!!! This is the ULTIMATE & FINAL Server Guide I will be creating, as I think there is not much else to be said. This is a culmination of all of my server knowledge that I've gained over the past 6 years, in a single (very in-depth and long) video! Timestamps are below. I hope they help :)
Introduction: 0:00
Requirements: 0:51
Downloading...
runs until you shut it down and yes it can have mods
Does that mean you can't edit the time?
the time is set as a linux epoch time. use a site like www(dot)epochconverter(dot)com to make the time you want to use
Thank you very much 🙂
I have had a lot of bugs on my GPortal Servers since this last patch as in white flashing screen, dinos and people going invisible and crashes. Could this be my server, or does that sound like it is on the computer side?
i know ?NewYear1UTC=1640970061?NewYear2UTC=1640970600 -NewYearEvent is my setting but in server show default timestamps 1672549248.0000
does on mine to. could not get an answer lst year about that from wildcard and i doubt this year is going to be any different
Set New Years UTC 1 to: 1672560000.000000``Set New Years UTC 2 to: 1672603264.000000 is what the console report with the times i gave in my example
Okay thank you so much
Sry I'm afk. My timestamps were applied after I removed every blank space between any of the "?" server args.
I'm using an xbox one x to run a server and playing on a series x, I play for like 5 minutes and then it freezes. My brother is playing on it and it's running fine for him he live like an hour away from me. Anyone know of any fixes or any settings that might fix it?
They have been quiet about the new years event this year overall. No mention of it in the last Community Crunch and was expecting another one with info about new years this week but that never came.
is it normal that if I start a singlplayer gen2 world, some of the missions which i never completed got a ✅ ?
All of my open world missions got it.
Hunts are auto completed on SP because consoles cant run them
So yes, it's normal
Can some 1 make logos? I need a logo for my upcoming ark server
what would you guys say would be the funnest map?
Ab
would anyone know why adding dinos that are not normally on a map, not spawing? I added snow owls, managamars to the carnivor island, they are spawing no problem... but i also added the jerboas to the wilderness at 100% spawn rate, and i havent seen one. Playing the island.
'the wilderness'?
If you put any variant of 'wildnerness' in the spawn entry thats not going to work, wildnerness is not a spawn container
When is the new years event for unofficial?
How do i start it
Can anyone help me with the timestamp for the new years event? Its not adding up to how I use the unix timestamp, their converter linked from Nitrado directly is confusing. I need 11:59pm tonight in pst time but having issues with it
Ww have 2 servers only 1 is getting a message that the event is imminent
The times are different the one not receiving reminders is set to start earlier than the one that is.....
What you do is set thr time in the input assistant click use and it puts it above the time zone location. Choose your time zone and click calculate
yes, already done that, it's not adding up to the unix timestamp properly
Even when I put in the code it generated for me, it shows a different time every time lol
thats not midnight in pst.
I was using 1672559999, but that comes up as 11:30 pst. which is a unix timestamp for 11:59pm so that means its off. I tried using the nitrado's website they link directly, but its all wonky, the GMT thing is throwing me off.
I got that # from epochconverter
When I plug that number in to the epoch converter, using my timezone GMT-8, it gives
The timestamp for your input is: 1672531140
The date for your input is: 2022-12-31 15:59:00
Which is in 3 hours
I am just going to go with 1672559999 and tell everyone its at 11:30 because this is too annoying lol
oh, thats just was one of the beacons areas it listed.
‼️ guys be aware the New Years Event loot table is bugged, the loot of the gifts are the same from raptor clause 😕
We had just started the event and all the gifts didn't have the many chibis and skins as usual.
can someone investigate in this to confirm?
Any advice for getting a populated server 🙂 ? What would you say people look for ?
what is normal frame rate a server should work on?
How can i activate the new event
look in #announcements
Send the code pls
gimme a few i'll see
I am using the header:
bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=True
All the engrams i want to use are showing except ALL ammo engrams the c4 remote, rocket launcher and all guns show but no ammo. Any ideas why this might be?
i guess it never put the code in cause it didnt work - i'll try something different i guess..
Is this all I need to do to enable the event on my Nitrado server? I entered the correct timestamps I want to use but is there anything else I need to do?
@fleet meteor
Use the time stamp for drop 1 and the "end" is the second and final drop. If you put the same time on both then you waste that second drop. Just make sure the new years event box is ticked
Won't matter what event you have active, just make sure the specific new years event box is checked and your timestamps are what you want
Thank you!
We experienced the same thing on our Cluster based in APAC.
I'm waiting to see if people complain when the official event hits.
Was kinda a major disappointment really..
How do i do it on xbox
Someone pls help
do what?
Activate the event
the new years event? servers enable it in the command line #announcements
Can you give me the exact thing i need to type? Im new to that kinda stuff
Unofficial Servers can enable the event with the following commandline param: -NewYearEvent
To modify the times, the following commandline parameters can also be used:
?NewYear1UTC=1672560000
?NewYear2UTC=1672603200
I posted #announcements because it was in there 
But how do i set it up, i type that and nothing happend
I'm also curious where you add the commandline param. Do you add it in the game.ini? Do you add it through RCON? Is it because I'm using ASM to run my servers that it's not working? I've only seen a message during start-up that it's trying to start the event but it's not active so it stops.
[2022.12.27-19.24.50:382][ 1]Server attempting to run new years event
[2022.12.27-19.24.50:383][ 1]Sever Is not set to official or running NewYearEvent argument
[2022.12.27-19.24.52:267][ 57]Set New Years event location: -109935 - 50367 - 5648
you add it in the bat file you launch the server with
in asm, add it to server args. set the ?params first. your args shout be something like
?NewYear1UTC=1672550100?NewYear2UTC=1672592400 -noundermeshkilling -culture=en -ActiveEvent=None -NewYearEvent
Thank you!
Finally some actual help Ty so much!
Hello
My servers just reboot 15min ago, with update detected (no mods).
Is there any update?
I don't saw anything in patch section
I'm setting up a 7 server cluster what maps would be best
Depends... You're going to want all the maps with ascension and levels/story ?... TI, Se, Ext, Abberation, Gen 1 & 2, Fjordur .
Lost Island, Rag, Val or The Centre has no ascension/story lines. However Rag, Val tend to be very popular maps as they have a lot going on.
Ok thanks
Hello, I'm using FileZilla for my dedicated server, I don't see .bat files, just .ini files.
Do you know where I can enter the New Year event commands ?
What server host are you using?
Nitroserv
Not familiar with that one at all. Do the have a control panel for configuring your server? That is usually one of the places where you can access command line settings.
On the host interface, I just have an acess to GameUsersSettings.ini and Game.ini ;
and I use FileZilla to a full access to the server files.
How you do pick which map you use?
My bad in addition to the access to .ini, I have a scrolling menu to choose "the version" of the serveur : the map.
and a button to activate or not BattleEye and Crossplay, and an interface to link a FTP account.
Yes, they patched to version 355.10 to fix the loot table a few minutes ago. I'm updating my maps now to include it. And they reset the save file so that unofficials can trigger two events again.
Do we leave the drop down event official and just type new year in then ini?
If you use nitrado, just leave it on official event or Winter wonderland. Put your preferred epoch times in the boxes right in general settings page.
Ok thank you
I don't know if they've updated unofficial xbox servers yet
is ther a server that i can join?
For Nitrado, it is easy to set. For others, I can't tell you. Each does it differently, and some will not even give you the ability to modify the command line.
ok thx
So it’s possible Xbox won’t get it in time for the first drop?
I would say that's a very real possibility unless you change the times
12 pm est is 12 minutes from now
Any help with setting up new year event on Series X on single player and/or non-dedicated, put "NewYearEvent" and no activation
Question about the command for the new year event. I've read the announcement and I'm still unclear on how to get it to spawn correctly.
Do we change ActiveEvent=NewYearEvent
Then add those parameters below? Or does it simply go into general settings and we hope for the best?
I host a ps4 server on nitrado.
it doesnt work in sp/nondedi
Damn, disappointing thanks then
It is :/
Well back to Santa gifts then
Just want to make sure I'm inputting these values in the correct spot, using Nitrado for a single server. (Beacon took care of most, but a few have different files so I need to change them manually)
On Nitrado > General
New Year Start Time: 1672592400
New Year End Time: 1672635600
Because when I highlight those boxes they both say "Parameter: ?NewYear1UTC"
few minutes ago ?
The update was apply this morning (fr), 9h ago.
there was a bug, it was fixed in a new version an hour before that message that you replied to
I need help setting up the new years event
Can some 1 make logos? I need a logo for my upcoming ark server
I think no.
As I said, it was at 11h (fr, so 10h utc maybe). 11h ago so.
And the pathnote was note available
Ok new idea, if i host a dedicated session on one console, then join on the other. Can i then participate?
player hosted dedicateds on consoles (and win10) can't run the new years event.
Anyone know how to get the event to start with G-Portal servers?
I turned on the New Year event in the Basic Settings around 6:15PM EST and restarted the server, but is there something else I need to do?
Like, you to uninstall lost island?
Shouldn't need to remove anything else then
Lost island is just the build name. It's not the map.
Post the first 5 lines of the crash here or #bobs-with-probs, and see if someone can read it.
I changed the times on GPortal for the event, and I don't think it worked. It triggered at the official time when we logged on, which we made the noon trigger but only once. We never could get the second event to trigger, which we set for later today. Did it mess up and keep the official time, and we just missed it. Is there a way to force trigger the second event on our servers?
Was this update even deployed to nitrado? I've had no update on any of my 26 servers
anyone here get this to work on nitrado
my new year's events worked just fine but the loot was crap. the patch hasn't been deployed on nitrado network for xbox. i'm still sitting at 955.11, not 955.12 per #735188555810340964
yeah thats what i mean
did both and both were shit
never got to do this event past yrs. first time i can dedicate time for it and it doesnt even work
Exactly that i said.
The update was incoming 5h before the patchbote release.
The message you linked was publish at 16h (fr), but the update comes 5h before, at 11h (fr)
It's 04h of morning, the 2nd january for the current answer.
what a stupid update. would have been better off not saying anything and just 'oh well' vs putting all unofficial clusters through this unresolved hell. thanks for a wonder new year's day guys.
do fibercraft servers exist on pc my friend on console can play them but i cant?
Yea there are many unofficial fibrecraft servers for console. But you wont be able to play together assuming you are on steam and he is on console
what about for pc?
Which console are they on?
they are on ps4 im on pc
then 0 crossplay
but i cant find any servers
(for myself)
im new to ark and they recomened i play a fibercraft server
Have you set the list to unofficial servers?
yes
No worries
Is there a code to spawn the ball to where I can get the presents on my server
I got it last night but missed the 2nd time so would like to do it again
Can someone help me my game is stuck on max level 120
Giving heads up Super mega rabies mods perm ban over disagreements
Anyone else have AllowFlyerPVE constantly turning off? How can i fix it so that it doesnt? Even when i manually edit the the gameusersettings file it still turns off when i host the game
This paid server?
nah just standard non-dedicated
Odd, if it was enabled in the main menu and gameuser should be no issue
yeah but as soon as i actually start it up it switches itself off again
and its hella annoying cause i just wanna be able to yoink wild dinos 😦
AllowFlyerCarryPvE=true
you have it named as that yes?
and under server settings header
yep
Werid
and it just swaps to False after i load the server up
Well this is how my setup is and it works no issue
yeah i get that
and thats how i set it up, and then i actually host it and it turns itself off
There must be something else causing the issue, as if you have it like I have then there should be no issue. Are you using any mods?
no
what did you look up to find the servers?
Just typed in fiber
do you need a setting enabled or anything?
when i search up fiber it says no results
This is what I have on my end
Me and my friend are having issues on joining a server bc it keeps time outing. Its a modded server with 18 mods on Unofficial Fjordur. Is there anything that can make joining less likely to kick us out?
Precisely it kicks us out after loading the map.
Use a faster hard-drive, know this problem from my previous setup.
On different privat servers it's better to use SSD or M.2 for.
Also a good CPU and ram for faster loading ofc
oof i was hoping for a simple solution. But then theres nothing we can do. Thank you anyways ^^
if the owner put the big mods at first it could work aswell, but u said ure player not admin.. so yeah..
actually i am just didnt say sorry xD
problem isnt with mods loading though but with after loading the map before you get to the Character Creation/Joining
Do you have a lot of items in your obelisk from singleplayer or another server?
not that i'd know. I play singleplayer Ark but my friend doesnt only with me on our server but we both have that problem
M.2 and ssd means same things
It's ngff and nvme the diffence you means.
M.2 is the speedup version and have pcle, a normal ssd is using sata port
M.2 is a port, using twice (if chipseted) sata and nvme protocole
Sata is a port, using sata protocole
Sata ssd or m.2 ssd sata (not nvme) have strictly same performances, because is the same protocole.
Use "nvme" or "sata m.2" or "sata ngff".
Many peoples break brain when the buy "m2" ssd and can not use it because enclosure or mb is not the correct protocole (like people buying "m2 ssd' (sata) for ps5, and not working because ps5 is only m2 pcie)

Hello.
I'm running 6 instances on 2x Intel Xeon CPU E5-2620 2.0 GHz 12 cores + 80GB RAM DDR3.
With 20 players online I'm have Server Frame Rate 5-10...
Can I'm repair it ? What I'm can to do incrase Server FPS?
For some reason I keep getting this bug and it’s been going on for over a week now.
Every time I do something with my inventory it updates my weight, but my it’s like the item doesn’t exist, I rejoin then my weight is back to what it was and it’s like the item has vanished.
I really need to know a fix because I’ve lost over 8 Giga eggs and can’t figure out what to do.
And when I craft stuff in my inventory, it says consumed 25 wood, but never adds the item I crafted, idk If this is a server issue or an ark issue
2Ghz is not enought.
With 5950x at 4,2/4,4, we always have rollbacks with less than 20 players
upgrade cpu
to 2690v2
but usage of processors are 30%
when im add GPU card it can be better ?
steam server
chance for ?
chanel to post screenshots
idk. can u send me it DM ?
done.
Can I code being able to do bosses back to ba k with out the timer in-between like on fjodur doing hadi and skull there and hour timer after the fight to do another one
Anyone in here use ASM to run a dedicated server that could help me out>
Anyone else still having issues with the modded drops. I thought they sent a patch out to fix it but mine are still mess up
no
Players on my unofficial cluster are stuck at lvl 90, similar to what happened back in 2017 after Genesis released to a lot of people. I have custom engram amounts per level set, but this is kind of necessary due to the engrams our mods add. Is there a workaround anyone knows of for this issue besides reverting to vanilla level progression? (We did not add any extra levels, just changed engram points per level.)
Ark Added in an additional 15 levels thanks to the manticore
so you need to raise your cap by 15
when?
sigh... ok thanks, will add the extra levels. was the manticore part of winter wonderland or a permanent addition to the game?
Manticore was part of the game, it was just given the permanent ascension levels thanks to winter wonderland
so level cap now in ark is 205
interesting... ASM still shows 85 ascensions levels. ty
Dam that is outdated
🙂
hello hello 🙂 stupid question. Is it possible to cluster my server with the official servers?
how can I find ip for the Server-rates servers?
anyone wanna play unofficial session with me, i already started it

I have a server who wants to join
Not the channel to advert it > #800537627752398899 #800537627752398899
i need help
@sacred cedar hi
Heya can i get some help i'm on a pvp server and my game keeps crashing after i uploaded to my transmitter and im trying to get the stuff back off it but it crashes each time i open the transmitter
Try to repair Game Files via steam
as in a validate? i did that didnt change anything strangely
so write here @primal mango
I can't do both, only compass to unstable element, and that would replace the element dust to unstable element craft
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItem_WeaponCompass_C", BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Element_C", BaseResourceRequirement=1, bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))```
compass stack to 100, element to compass 1:1 ratio
then we need 1000 element splitter in a compass
wat
that's what it is, element to compass 1:1 ratio
but no way to convert it back unless you're fine with replacing the unstable element craft
so you want to replace the unstable element craft?
this is for traveling with compasses from map to map
then it'd be easier to just make the ratio of dust to unstable element better rather than replacing the compass craft
I would like to be able to make elements into compasses and back again
^
You should then be able to convert the compasses again on the repli
are you fine with replacing the conversion of dust into element
wait I'll show you something
I go to a server where it is set like this
I can't send a picture🫣
correct
I get what you want but it'll make you unable to convert element dust into element
are you fine with that
so i can build a compass in my own inventory with one element
yes
and on the replicator convert the compass back into element splitter
a compass gives 1000 shards
I am sorry for the circumstances🫣
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItem_WeaponCompass_C", BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Element_C", BaseResourceRequirement=1, bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))```
compass stack to 100, element to compass 1:1 ratio
is it right @primal mango
my ark keeps getting stuck at 97%

bad install or mod, reinstall mods 1 at a time
how do i fiz if bad install ive reinstalled it to time
use steam to check files. or first remove mods and try agaim 1 by 1
i did check the files
and what about mods?
i never played with any
have you tried a different server to test?
how do id o that
Join a randon server ,, and see if it loads
Hi, I'd like to know if anyone here knows a way to increase the spawn rate of Alpha's on the Ragnarok map? I already have a few attempts in the game.ini but nothing works.
You'd need a mod to do so
Do you have the ability to add mods?
Yes, I have admin access to the hosting site
This will allow you to INI spawn the alphas
so server im playing on probaby has no cap of armor on saddles and usualy it wants like what 30k hide 10k metal 6k cemmenting or whatever else it may want and it says it needs to be crafted in smithy but all of the materials dont fit in so does the server haveto increase its stack size to 2k each or more and stuff or is there acctualy a place for that?
without the mod that'd just act like you added normal raptors/rexes/whatever, so you can't increase the rate of alphas without also increasing the amount of normal ones that spawn
But the mod allows a spawn group for alphas to always spawn as alphas, rather than normal or alpha
argies and i think tek reps can be used as smithies to get you more slots, but yeah there's a point where vanilla sizes are too little when stuff gets expensive enough
tek reps as a replicator thing?
ye
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="MegaRaptor",SpawnWeightMultiplier=10,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=3)
Is this line good, or is the DinoNameTag not good?
It simply doesn't work with the alpha spawn method
you need to use the mod and configaddnpcspawnentriescontainer
Is extinction drops different from cave drops on other maps? my extinction drops have the same stuff i put in my cave drops, can those be separate? i didn't do my drops i had help when i first started my server 😂
Some maps re-use the drops that other maps do, so unless you use different config for each map, there's a chance you'll be getting overlap
Whats a good unoffical cluster
Why?
You just can increase chance
Beaver, argentavis
no, you can't, because they're random replacements
they don't spawn like 90% of dinos do, and their method also does this
with the exception of raptors on valg, li and fjordur
They're random replacement ?
Most dinos are directly told to spawn via a spawn entry. Alphas aren't, they're set to 'when X dino spawns, turn it into dino X, Y or Z'
usually, this looks like rex has a spawn entry. rex is selected to spawn. rex gets turned into a rex or an alpha rex
Eclipse if your around i need a hand, im trying to make a spawn subtraction and i cant for the life of me figure out why it wont work pain
What dino is it on?
Amarga, from the LI volcano because im replacing it with an X Amarga from Gigas Fancy Variants
oop
Do the X amargas spawn naturally?
no, i added them separately with Ini that does actually work
its just removing the OG Amargas i cant work out
ConfigSubtractNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString=DinoSpawnEntries_Volcano_LostIsland_C,NPCSpawnEntries=((NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C")))
i feel like im an idiot missing something obvious but the wiki is so badly laid out its killing me
That's on 2 lines
pain
Ouchhh
yeah dont fault you for not noticing 
It also reckons there's a bracket missing, so;
ConfigSubtractNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString=DinoSpawnEntries_Volcano_LostIsland_C,NPCSpawnEntries=((NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C"))))
thanks Eclipse, ill test it out soon TM
so uh... is 355.12 a just kidding kind of thing?
not sure i understand... 355.12 was mentioned in #patch-notes. is that related to the xbox wrong build thing?
PC patch should be correct. Xbox is not.
steamdb shows public depot last updated 2 days ago and no updates are available for my servers
That's because unofficials take longer to get the updates.
oh ok, lately i've been seeing them right when the announcement came so i assumed they were getting better at that 🙂
Sometimes they are, but not always.
What’s better for ark windows 10 or 11?
don't update to windows 11 if you can. it should work but windows 11 has some issues.
I have windows 11 right now and I can’t play
I have 1-4 FPS!
and it crashes a lot
do you have the link of steamdb for ark? I'd like to know when I can update my server 😄
Check pins.
Thanks got it!
I’m trying to join my friends non dedicated server hes on Epic games I’m on steam no what matter what we do the server doesn’t show up
Ok found out what wrong
My ark looks very bad even with a good rig and high settings with resolution maxed out and my game optimized by GeForce, Any recommendations? I will send pics if you dm to show you what it looks like.
algum br? estou precisando de ajuda
Any server looking for admin Dm me an application
Got Ark’d during server transfer (any advice?)
So me and my buddy beat Rockwell last night (PS5). This afternoon, after we both uploaded our characters and a few items/tames, I tried getting on extinction after switching my nitrado server to extinction. Downloaded my survivor right away and got the cool new opening cutscene from Helena. After it was over my game went black so I quit out and restarted Ark. When I rejoined my character wasn’t there. Not even in the download tab. So I switched the server back to aberration and can only seem to restore a backup to before we fought rockwell. Any suggestions? Or do we have to fight Rockwell again and attempt another transfer?
Does anyone know of a discord for the Devkit help? or is there none.
There is, you can only join via that invite site though
Hi players who are playing on my cluster via epic are asked to install Genesis2 to join Fjordur Anyone know why this is a thing? they both said they played in the past days without a problem and now it asks them to get gen2 from the epic store before they can join fjordur
yo unknown, im here asking that too
is dino storage op?
I guess? really depends on you and who you ask
and everything in it is configurable to your needs
that worked with the element, just not with the compass stacks @primal mango thank you wery Mutch
maybe there is another compass stacking command?
I'm sorry, I don't know any other method
it worked for me, so are you sure you put it in the right spot?
I have to pay attention to the right place where I insert it?😳🫣
Technically yes, but set the last portion of the code you pasted earlier to true. The bIgnoreMultiplier= part. When set to false, stack sizes adheres to the global. True makes it adhere to the quantity you set in your code (100).
Thank you let's try it😊
Tell him there’s a shitload of ini options to nerf it as much as he wants
Is there any way to keep the crossplay (epic/steam) and voice chats too?, I was setting my dedicated server and i lost the crossplay trying to fix the voice chat :'c
Hi I had the game on epic and steam but my friends only have it on epic and we want to rediscover the game together, so to play I launched a non-dedicated server, my friends find it in the server list but when trying to join he receives the message: Connection timeout expire try again. If you have any ways to play private match with friends that would save me! Thank you !
non dedicated servers don't work very well with crossplay, you'll need a dedicated server
Does any1 have easy arks discord?
But we're all on epic
ah, sorry, I misread
though honestly I'd suggest getting a dedicated server anyway, or hosting one yourself
non-dedi doesn't work very well on epic. best to try getting a dedi
Is there a problem with the drops not keeping the custom builds again
How can i got a dedi serv on epic for free (Hosting myself)
if you have a good tutorial vids to give me the link. Thx
same way on steam just enable crossplay when making it. plenty of guides on youtube. suggest deciding to use ASM or not at the start before finding a guide.
ark server manager, its a GUI for setting up servers. makes some things easier but some people like to do it manually.
Ok tanks !
remember if you are setting up a dedicated server you need to port-forward.
Yes I've been trying for a while but I don't know if I succeeded
I have to open the crossplay from tab with a command?
its a launch parameter. most guides should say where.

Is there a method to open .ark files?
I want to explore the file to see if it's possible to restore a tribe's entire base after it decays or becomes lost
I also thought it might be possible to rewind or turn up decay timer
Anyone have experience opening these files?

helloo i have question and problem. i cant find the server where i play. the owner of server see it up but he cant conect there too
Any one having ark and nitrado being bugged with heavy’s doing 0 damage?
what can be the problem ?
Name
Pass word protected, what you are searching pve pvp
Console issue. Will have to on wildcard to send out a fix.
I mean are you looking up the right name
ahh 😄
Is it all servers? Someone said it was a nitrado issue
yes i had it in my fav hahaha but and owner of server cant going there
Do we know anything more? Because not all console servers are experiencing it, only a handful
Can't be. Nitrado does hardware, game devs handle the software
From what I've heard it's only Microsoft. Haven't heard it from anyone on PC or PS.
im running a nondedi, and myharvest settings and everything else arent working, like its still 1x even though i have it as 4x, can anyone help?
Probably harvest clamp setting or optimized harvest health. You don't need either for 4x.
whenever i pick bushes it gives me like 1 of each berry per pick and like 15 fiber, that is not 4x, so im confused
Check those settings
alright
my friend keeps getting a host timeout when he trys to join my non dedi, why?
can't post a link but google 'ark non-dedicated host timeout', there's a steam community discussion
how do i tame dinos if i turned down food drain so i don't have to feed them when they are tamed
there are separate settings for tamed and wild food drain
where?
Both in Game.ini
TamedDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier
WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier
Add them if they don't exist
Hello. I'm new here, but I just popped in to ask if anyone has figured out how to fix ice wyvern spawns on ragnarok.
We play on a nitrado server. Checked all 5 nest locations and found one egg. And killed the ice wyvern back when we didn't know how rare they were.
Any suggestions?
how on xbox
You wont be able to unless you got a server
Since xbox can not access the game files
I don't think that's something that needs "fixing".
Do regular dinowipes.
Does the in-game dino food drain setting change wild or tamed dinos? Or both somehow? 
Personally I just wouldn't change that...
ingame effects both, there is another drain multiplier in the settings. DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier
I know there's separate settings for each one, but it's odd not to have both there. Lol
yeah, the ingame sliders miss a lot
I'm fine with rare, but I think it's bugged. Few forums I found support that theory, but not a ton of ideas on how to fix it. I just wanted to see if there were any in game fixes before we resort to dino wipes and such.
Regular dinowipes are helpful to keep healthy spawns in general.
Oh cool, we will have to try that. 1st server so we weren't sure. Ty
No harm done with 'em, unless you don't have the willpower to stop using them to your advantage lmao
does anyone know why wyvern eggs and nests dont spawn on a nitrado hosted server?
ark bug, somewhat common depending on the map
on ragnorok tried wiping all the dinos but still nothing spawning
You can try an wild wyvern egg wipe, but doubt it will help if the nests aren't spawning
cheat DestroyAll DroppedItemGeneric_FertilizedEgg_NoPhysicsWyvern_C 1
tried it no difference thanks anyways though
no problem. sometimes hanging out in render for awhile fixes it, but not always
Hello, can someone tell me how I can unlock safes for example
for strangers , unlock
You can claim the structure and then unlock it so it becomes admin owned.
I mean my own structures, open to others
I'm setting up a safe and I want to unlock it with a triangle
@opal steeple
I miss the option
Is it a tribe governed setting?
Does anyone know how to fix meks? Mine only gets 73% hp crafted and yes I have crafting skill apparently it was a update that messed with it and the cluster owner said he can’t fix it without doing this and that and it’ll mess with other settings
I as an admin made a starter set with tek doors and pin, and a safe that I want to unlock for others
@opal steeple
Hello guys I play on unofficial pc server and yesterday the sever usually play on is no longer showing on the server list, what does this mean
Have this under your gameusersettings.ini, afterward you should be able to lock/unlock it.
[ServerSettings]
ForceAllStructureLocking=true
If you have offline damage prevention turned on, no one will be able to access it unless your tribe is online.
yes I set it that way
Server owner may not have it updated or on.
Would that mean it’s gone forever
cryochamber is the same problem
See pinned messages for how to find your ini.
Youd have to contact the owner.
How can I find contact for the owners
If you know anyone on the server, they may know. If yhe server is down, there really isn't anything I can help with.
Thanks for clarifying
Do you have ORP on? nevermind, was thinking of pin codes not unlocking
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player.
That sounds like a mod header
No. It says in the link.
You normally have to manually add per level stats multipliers
That's why I sent you the link to the mod config discussion.
Stamina is [1]
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[1]=1.0 would give you 10 points per level (default).
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[1]=2 would be 20 points.
Etc
I'm not sure I'm following. Player stamina is a base game setting, it even describes that in the mod link sent above. How many stamina points are you currently getting while that mod is active?
Then it's vanilla
Ah. Different setting for regen, one sec
Well, it's not regen, it's a drain setting
You have to add all mod configuration yourself.
Mod configs don't just appear, whatever you want changed from the mod's default you need to add in.
Good
You should check out Beacon, handles all default game configurations and popular mods. There's a new mod discovery feature that could also help with config for this mod. You can import your current settings so you don't have to start over. Site is usebeacon.app
Save it, start the server/game.
It's in the pins too
Mhmm
What does the mod "dino storage v2" do and it is good ?
It's popular and does a lot of different things. I recommend checking out the workshop page, has a ton of info. There are also youtube vids on it.
aight
does anyone have an issue where heavy turrets are not shooting. teks are alright but the heavy aim but don't fire. They have bullets, are on the same level as the teks and are not set to any weird sort of groups or dinos
any ideas
how do i make dinos hav e more level ups after i tame them
Known issue since recent update, file #bug-reports
You can, but it requires a lot of lines of code. I recommend checking into Beacon for this. Link is pinned to the channel.
where do i get beacon
Check the pinned messages
ty
A lot of features are free but custom levels will require the Omni version. That's a one-time $15 purchase (no subscription) and free updates for life. Best tool to use for server config 👍
how do i fix a disk write error
google "disk write error", there's an article with like 13 things to try
Where can you advertise your server
Cheers
Hey, by any chance do you know how to type properly on iPhone, like adding another line of words
Anyone have any ideas - we have coded our aberration map to include foreign dinos and fliers but we are still getting a ‘class disallowed’ message when we try to throw anything out of a pod. We can spawn dinos in admin and fly around but this doesn’t help our players. The coding worked before the winter wonderland update
Use the 123 bottom left on keyboard then it brings up the option to return
That will give you a new line
And you haven't changed the code since the update?
Thank you so much
It’s coded the same way our friends server is and it works on theirs
Theirs was coded before the update though.
We added aberration over the Christmas weekend
So their server is working right, and yours isn't?
Yes. Hence our confusion. Both are set to true in the code
Both have the same mods and everything?
We are both console so there isn’t mods
I would try just copy pasting their code and see if that works
There might be some typing error somewhere that is making the game not parse your code correctly
Okay thanks we will take another look.
Hope it works out
can't connect to my server (dedicated) updated to version 355.12... Any ideas? Steam; Windows; Error: Connection Timeout;
mods?
haven't had an issue, connection timeout is usually local. tons of stuff to try, just google "steam ark connection timeout"
yeah i'm looking on Google but nothing working. All other players have issue with connect to server
8 players was trying
I'm gonna assume all 8 players are not on the same internet connection lol, so that would mean server side since there are no mods. Shut it down, wait 10 mins, reboot and try again. Contact your server host if you still can't connect, include the part that no one can connect and that they're on different connections.
OK im gonna try turn off him on night and tomorrow Im see is that working. thanks
if I want to replay all the ark maps ( I last playing pre gen part 1) how would you guys suggest I handle things like transferring? if I just bring every dino with me when I beat a map, it'll become way too easy, but same time don't want to totally just delete everything when I move on?
also how would I handle none story maps? Should I pair them up with story maps, so play like 2 at a time?
Anyone here have a unofficial xbox/win10 server that is being affected with the heavy turrets not shooting?
Anyone here have a unofficial xbox/win10 server that is being affected with the heavy turrets not shooting?
@indigo jolt and @celest sage do
Yes
Cave edits are all the rage these days, despite the lag they create
@stray isle create a lfg in the recruitment channels or search in the server ad channels below #bulletin-board-rules. This channel is for server setup help, not finding servers.
Can just post your question/issue.
im trying to figure out how to disable only certain missions on gen2 but i cant find any codes
There is no way to disable specific missions, it is disable all or none
If there was a way to do specific missions, I would of made a video on it long ago
not even like WC does during event?
i found a post just a sec ago but idk if it would work
Like they said, there is no way to disable specific missions. It's all or none.
Wildcard can disable specific events as they have access to config option that we do not
fair enough
Having trouble hosting a non official dedicated and cant seem to join any unofficial servers
anyone know why?
what would good config for raising/imprinting so it doesnt take hours?
Depends on what platform you are on. Since different platforms have different access to some settings @zinc loom
steam
am on unofficial server
trying to convince my friend to turn up rates from default
cause i dont want to raise my 212 wyvern for the next half week
Well since you are on Steam you can make all creatures go from baby to adult within and hr and get a full imprint.
But your friend might not like that
Alright, well what would you say your limit is. Cause a wyvern takes 4 real life days
2 days or 1 day?
probably 1 day
at most, maybe less
i can probably convince him to lower it below a day maybe
Should we set it to at least 1 day to be safe or are you sure?
Don't want to waste your time will multiple configs is all
im 90% sure
considering im the only otherr person actively plasying with him on his server rn .-.
Alright, my next question is what map are you on?
rag
Game.ini
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.423445122
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=2
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=4.1
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=5
That will allow it to take 24hrs to raise a wyvern and still get full imprint on all creatures
what numbers would i change if the time was lower?
Honestly all those values impact one another. You have to go through the math equation for each one
hmm oki
I can make one for less than 24hrs if you like
can u make one for 4 hours :3
cause i feel like thats the amount he'd give into
it still takes a while but with the little amount of time we're online each day its reasonable
No worries, be back in a bit
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.0347225
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=9
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=25
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=25
thx thx :3
Hey there my friends and me have a ARK Server since yesterday installed on a rootserver. We have the mods: Auto Engrams, Rare Sightings, Awesome SpyGlass, Upgrade Station, S+ and Minimal Stacks installed. Our problem is that so far we have seen dinos ONLY with mutations. Testing all those mods in singleplayer works perfectly fine though. Is there maybe a server setting that needs to be added or any other way to fix that issue?
You're getting wild dinos with mutations? Or did you mean event colors?
All wild dinos have mutations.
Mutations in the ancestry line?
colored does not mean mutated
Or maybe they are event colors could you explain to me what those event colors are?
Oh well, I guess that might be the problem then, sorry for misleading. Is there a way to disable the color spawns and yet have the rest of the Winter Wonderland 7 event going?
Gameusersettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
EventColorsChanceOverride=<num> (Takes a value between 0 and 1. 1 = 100% chance for color override)
I'd guess if you don't want colors, 0
Oh wow. That is perfect. Thank you very much for your help. I guess I can just lower the percentage that is even better.
Yes currently it is at 100%, I believe is what Dollie said. Just change the value to whatever. No problem!
Again, thank you. Have a lovely day! 🙂
You too!
hello so we have a problem on our cluster of couple maps lost island server has gotten update to 355.12 but others did not and its impossible to join lost island everyones client is on 355.5 but other server are at 355.3 what should we do in that situation? (im not the owner but trying to find any help to fix this issue)
What's a good none story map to pair with abb?
Playing my server single player, I'm playing 2 maps at a time, one story one none. So I have a more level experience with one map picking up the slack where the other falls off
You'll need to contact your host and ask for the servers to be updated to version 355.12. Latest client version is 355.5, that updates needs done locally.
Ab is my favorite, I'd say Fjordur is next in line.
Is there a way to remove cryo sickness forever?
For pve, yes. For pvp, no.
k i'm on an xbox nitrado fjordur sever and want to add blood crystal wyverns to the ini how the heck do i do that? still new to the ini files
First, if you have access to a PC, I recommend using Beacon for all types of server configuration. You can customize everything in a more simple interface than dealing with ini file code. You're able to import everything you've already customized on your server into your Beacon project and continue editing from there. When you're done, you can deploy everything directly to your servers and Beacon will add the code to the correct ini files for you. A lot of Beacon's features are free to use, but complex configurations like custom spawns will require the Omni version, but that's only a one-time $15 to basically have it do everything for you.
The link to Beacon is pinned in this channel
Which part of fjordur would you like them in: Midgard, Vanahiem, Jotunhiem, or Asgard?
good question, midgard is pretty cluttered with spawns so probably asgard
so in other words your answer is buy something lol but i appreciate the info just not buying something extra to put in settings id rather learn to do it
You could try this in the ini:
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesGrassland_Gen2_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="AddOns",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_Blood_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.10))))
Without Beacon, honestly it's a pain lol. I'm not really sure if there's a comprehensive guide out there because there's truly so much involved with custom spawns. It all varies my map, by dino, by spawn zode, etc. You could start with the server configuration page on the ark.wiki.gg site to get the basics.
It is what I used for adding the Stryder...I just replaced the Stryder with blood wyvern
ty i'll give that a shot hope it doesnt crash the server lol its been pretty temperamental
Make sure to shut down the server first, before updating the game.ini
also what section of ini? game engine or user
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
You'd want to add additional wyverns to a zone that already contains wyvern nests. That's the only way they will lay eggs.
Crystal wyverns don't need eggs
You don't get Crystals that way
bloods are passive tame so them not dropping eggs isnt a big deal
This will put them in a few areas around the map, but not a lot of them.
Sorry didn't see the blood part lol, my bad.
If you want more, you can up the EntryWeight and Spawn Percentage
do i have to add that again or add it under the currnt one
It should already be there...usually the first line of game.ini
thats what i thought just didnt know if i needed it for every new change or just the one
Just the one.
So, I usually start my numbers low, and see how it goes. After you do a dino wipe, it takes a while for them to fully respawn in.
which is expected
do i put it in line by line or all at once?
It is just one long line
I wish .ini allowed for multi line, but I don't think it likes it.
For reference, this is the areas they could spawn in:
With those settings, don't expect to find a bunch at each of those markers. You might find one or two at a few. Increasing the weight and percentage will give you more, sooner.
well i'll test it out with the current settings see how it is and go from there dont want it to be too easy but not too hard either
Good luck.
here to hoping this server has been a pain lol it crashed and wiped a couple times just trying to disable friendly fire lol had to restore it
it and it didnt but the part that didnt is minor just annoying lol
nvm i just screwed up lol forgot to knock out the wyvern just netted it lol
Im trying to join my friends non dedicated session, and it brings me to a "Finding game, attempting to join a game from invite or direct join" I cant even click anything, it freezes, can you help?
What platform?
Anyone know of a mod/setting to disable the 'too high above platform' building limit for saddles? I have S+ installed and all the limits cranked up, but the ability to build more than 3 tiles out or 7 walls up from the saddle platform just doesn't seem to be there.
My friend is running a dedicated server through ark but when I search for it its not showing up. any suggestions?
Hi
My x rex ist level 192 and is getting like 5k health per level and I easily got him to 100k health and almost 3k meelee damage
have I messed up the settings or are those usual stat increases
It sounds like you've modified the tamed dino settings. Health is PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0]=, melee is PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[8]=. The number after the = sign is what you've set it to. For health, the default value is 0.2. The default for melee is 0.17.
Platform?
Oh Lord
Everything was default 1 and I changed meelee to 1 and health to 1.2 because I thought these are random numbers for whatever reason
Lol all the other PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed settings are 1, just health and melee are lower
Yeah that's my bad I didn't understand why these numbers are that low
So if I change the health from 0.2 to 0.4 is the additional health per level doubled?
Yes
It varies by dino
Okay thank you very much 🙏🏻
I mean, it will be doubled for all dinos, but the amount each dino gets will vary by the dino type
no problem :)
And another question
I wanted to get my dinos asap and changed the settings to what a YouTuber suggested so it is like 7min 1 imprint 100%
But I won't get the full imprint stat bonus right?
You should, but it really depends on the settings you applied. Feel free to send them and I'll check them
Actually, BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier is what controls the stat bonus. As long as it's no less than 1, you should be fine.
Am I allowed to send them in this channel?
Oh okay I was just wondering if I would get the same bonus stats with the one time imprint as with multiple imprints
As long as maturation rate is slow enough to prevent every dino from reaching maturity before 7 minutes is up, they should be able to be imprinted. You could set BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier to 0.0021 to drop that imprint timer down to 1 minute if you run into any issues. That's usually enough time to hatch them and move them away from the incubator before they require a walk or something like that lol
Haha okay thank you so much you really helped me a lot ❤️
I was looking for this answers for 2 days now 🙏🏻
Lol no problem, enjoy
Oh and one more thing 😅
Can I somehow change anything so they always want to cuddle and not getting hand fed or go for a walk
Lol no, I wish. You can cryo and uncryo them for a chance to change what they want, sometimes you need to do it more than once. It works okay on a lot of dinos, but wyverns and magmasaurs can take quite a few attempts before it changes.
Actually, you're on steam so there might be a mod for that.
I know the config pretty well, but I'm just getting into mod settings
Ah okay didn't even know the cryo trick thanks man 😁
Maybe :D I'll be searching for that ^^
Super Structures (the better version of S+) has the SS Nanny, the wiki page has this on it:
Gives food to nearby babies (under 15%). Imprints nearby non-adult dinos. Can place preserving salt in inventory. Can use Tek Generator or Honey for fuel (will automatically use fuel if no power is available).
There is a better version of S+ ? 😱
I'm still using s+ :')
Yeah, Super Structures is just way more up to date than S+
I think S+ also has the nanny, no?
The dev for S+ has basically abandoned it. Super Structures cut down on loading time by a lot for me.
hmm, interesting
Yeah Super Structures pretty much has everything that S+ has and it's easy to switch because both mods use the same blueprint path for all their items
Same with swapping Awesome Spyglass for Super Spyglass Plus, way better loading time and more up to date
Personally I like N+ more, it's just as up to date but is more like S+, and doesn't have the constant little SS symbol
So I can just remove s+ and add ss?
Yep should be just fine
Ok nice
Do you know some cool decoration mods
I have eco trees and additional lights and I'm looking for more :D
Make sure your change the header in your ini to [SuperStructures] as well as configs under.
How are you changing your other settings?
Server settings
I'm playing with a friend
And I don't have to go to any text documents or stuff like that
I bought it on gportal and have a base settings section where is pretty much everything I think
What’s the cap on tether distance y
Orionsun came back didn't he? Or he left again?
Ok I'm going batty here, I removed the -ActiveEvent flag from my server launch script but WINTER WONDERLAND DINOS KEEP SPAWNING whyyyyy! I don't want them anymore 😦 Does anyone know?
you dino wiped? try setting the active event as none.
Does the hellish being known as gacha Claus spawn
Oh yes many dinos have died for this cause
Or raptor Claus
does tether distance care about up/down? 
Yaaa both and it makes me a sad panda 😦
Just a typo
Cuz I keep getting dragged in gen 2 and my friend has Terrible eyesight
So I need this tether distance cap
what platform are you on?
Steam
I will try setting ActiveEvent to none but can anyone confirm that removing the -ActiveEvent flag totally can cause the last active event to keep going? Because I thought -ActiveEvent was required for the server to launch with an active event and if it were missing that there would be no active event
set it to 3000, above that and you can get issues. you'll still get pulled into boss fights, caves, and sometimes randomly (load points)
its supposed to I think
I just remember setting it to none on my SP because ActiveEvent is always on (xbox
)
I believe thats what fixed it anyway lol
Ok thanks I'll try it!
Does 3000 cause performance issues?
I imagine it'll be based on where people are rather than the size of the tether
could be wrong tho I don't play much non-dedi.
Hmm ok
it'll probably cause some performance drop but I doubt it'll be really bad, if it is just drop it lower until you find a good middle ground.
So I play on a PvE server. You can demo bases after so long but one thing that always seems to be stuck is tents. It says demolishable but the tent won't give me the option to demo. Anyone know why?
Im not sure if this is something i should approach customer support for but i'm trying to set up a dedicated server and i have no idea where to even begin can anyone help?
lotta helpful guides for getting general knowledge between nitrado YouTube the wiki etc
if you have a specific question feel free to ask though
Does anyone have the primal fear discord server link? Or could someone send me an invite please?
I'm trying to place ceilings on a metal oven platform but it's telling me to far away but it rights on it

Hello! its Happended when new server patch 355.12 . When my players use mindwipe they cant craft item them self becoz all engrams was hidden . anyone have solutions to fix it ?

What's a good none story map to pair with abb?
Playing my server single player, I'm playing 2 maps at a time, one story one none. So I have a more level experience with one map picking up the slack where the other falls off
ok another question with regards to adding dinos spawns, i was thinking of trying to add the phoenix to fjordur but not sure how that would work due to its spawn conditions on scorched if possible how would that work
honestly id say lost island or fjordur both are excellent maps with a lot of variety
Handled in dms
On the steam workshop description page, there's a discord image you can click for the invite
So here is the problem I need help with.
I see a nice server, let's say on battlemetrics and I want to join it.
I copy the server's IP and put it in favorites on steam.
I try to go into the ark now and I enter the game.
I go Join and favorites and nothing.
The server that I just putted in favorites through Steam is not showing in the ark
Does anyone know why?
You can't add just the IP address to favorites.
You have to add a combination of IP address and the Query Port to your favorites.
Example of server info
Game port: 00000
Query port: 00001```
**What to add to Steam favorites**
```12.34.56.789:00001```
^^ *The last portion after the colon (:) must be the query port*
hm let me try
Address
109.230.239.91:7740 (Game Port)
109.230.239.91:27045 (Query Port)
so I need to combine those two
No, use the bottom one. IP:QUERY
no worries :) glad it's working
yes i tested
but if I am finding server on battlemetrics how can I find ip of a server
Do you just want to join the server?
yep
If you are finding the serve via battlemetrics and you are playing the Steam version of ark, you can just click on the Connect button.
Should be able to click the server name as well and see the ip
Yep
but then that "atempting to join a game via invite or direct link" happens and I never actually enter the game
Are you trying to join a modded server?
ye
name?
If they have a lot of mods, and you don't have those installed, it can take a while to connect
Like jerryn shared here, the name of the server
As you will have to wait for Steam to download and install those mods.
all installed
Do you just timeout when trying to join?
Sorry, I got called away....wife trumps discord.
Can you DM the link to the battlemetrics page you are looking at, for the server you want to join?
Usually, if the server is working fine, and there are a lot of mods, the joining can be slow, because Ark still has to load the mods into your local game, in the order that the server has them. That can sometimes take a bit of time, if a lot of mods, and, especially if you are running Ark off of an HDD.
Hi
Ummm the population of Andrewarchus dinos on our Fjordur server has gone... kind of... absolutely insane. There are hundreds of them. We dino wipe and they just spawn back in a few hours. They're all over the map. Does anyone know what can cause this or how to fix it when it happens?
Any one here who runs a server that can help me plz
Better to just post your issue, that's what this channel is for.
My issue is iv been playing on the island for over 2 weeks, killed everything in site and not found a single giga in any of the spawns, only carchas seem to be showing up. Iv even used beacon to add to spawns and spawn gigas in and all il getting is catches....
Carchas
Extinction
And I can't seem to find anyone to help me out with it or provide some sort of an answer. Least not anyone who also runs their own servers
Hi I am hosting a dedicated server (on Linux) but my friends cant find the server on the Steam server list. The server is in DMZ and there is no firewall
is there a specific config I need to add ? because I can see it with my public IP in my steam Server list
Anybody who knows modding that can tell me why I'm getting mod version mismatch error after freshly reinstalling all the mods on the servers modlist, and then completely deleting the mods folder and reinstalling everything
Does the server use ASM to install the mods?
Thank you, I tried that already and It wasn't working for me.
no it's a brand new server and my other friends can get on fine
If you'll check your dms from me, I've sent an invite to their discord.
Thank you so much!!
No problem, it should work since it's directly from their discord.
Yes it did. Thanks again!
Is there a way to make structures always pickupable
I want to do some purple osds and i need a tek forceshield for that which is not that cheap
In GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=true
Im running a nondedicated server, but my friend cant find it on the non dedicated server list, its on steam, can anyone help?
Any ps players that could help a new player out?
have him add it directly to his favorite list in steam with your IP and port you set
This is for server setup help. If you do not need help with that, use #bobs-with-probs, or if you are looking for players/tribe, use #735196277221883964.
How do i set an ip and port?
My bad thank you I'm new to the whole thing so didn't know
your server IP is just your ip. your port depends on what you set on your router, default ports depend on your platform and you have like all the platform roles. so... difficult to say and your query port is your server port plus 1
or like. forget all that and just tell him to add you as a friend, and join your session from his friend list
no yeah we tried that and it just refuses to let him join
which error code
I mean like
failed to resolve ip
could.not establish connection to host
time out
probably your network setup then. check your router page for DMZ and enable it
oh then nvm the last msg
Can also try this,
Step 1: Join a single-player game of ARK. Step 2: Click Tab to open the console. Step 3: Obtain your server's connection information in the format of IP:PORT. Step 3: Type: open IP:PORT and press enter.
some people have luck using that one website too
which . I can't think of the name of. but it lists all the ark servers
ill try this first, i just send it to him and have him look for my server?
arkservers dot net
No, it likely won't help for that. Try the steps I added earlier
alright
do i put the IP:PORT in the console tab?
also can you give me an example, im very confused
I thought that was how epic joins.
Can work for steam too
192.168.9.1:7777 is just an example and ... not what you'd use at all lol
You need your IP to give to your friend. Use IPchicken website.
so i just give him my ip?
ipchicken ftw
and he can join off of it
Yes
without anything else?
Or it should, but nondedicated is buggy as heck.
what platform is this steam? I'll look what the default ports are
so what does he do with the ip to join?
There's a very large possibility that it just won't work.
Step 1: Join a single-player game of ARK. Step 2: Click Tab to open the console. Step 3: Obtain your server's connection information in the format of IP:PORT. Step 3: Type: open IP:PORT and press enter.
he does that?
The Server Port usually is 7777, the Query Port is usually 27015
Yes. You just make sure the server is online.
nah
he tried that and it didnt work
Then I have no idea. I did add that there is a large possibility of it not working.
last time it was literally just a dice roll of it showing up or not, thanks for the help
sometimes it won't. only so many will list and it chooses them randomly
Nondedi is just not worth it most of the time
also, sometimes it's just broke
theroetically how much would a cheap 24/7 small server cost
nitrado is like $10/mo for a 10 slot
is it anywhere near florida?
actually I think their prices went up since new years.
they have multiple server locations in USA. I live in Oklahoma and we used New York and I never lagged
cool ill check it out
If you're on steam you can use pretty much any hosting provider
oh dang nitrado went up to $15/mo for a 10 slot
thats not horrible
eh probably not. I bet gportal cheaper
Gportal is the same
g portal is 1.39 cheaper
It's 14 exactly for me lol
like the gas stations here all waiting till last second to put gas prices up so they can see what the guys across the street set and they can go 5 cents cheaper
maybe that's the price for 22 days 12h 49m
idk
awfully round number for such a random time
No, the 22 days is just the current amount of run time after my last payment, 7 days ago.
ooo
you own a server country?
