[dark tiger]

Any one try to raise a dragon yet? Do we feed a baby essence?

[frail crescent]

So....dunno how or why, my server suddenly started stacking Mutton. Can any one else ?

[ivory yarrow]

I had to install the certs on win 10

[past trail]

Playing on a max difficulty server, but almost every animal is under level 50, 150s do exist but anything over like 50 is EXTREMELY rare. We've done multiple dino wipes, anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to fix it? Is it not even an issue and I'm just spoiled by modded map spawn rates?

[bleak ivy]

max difficulty doesn't do anything to levels (it only sets the difficulty to 4/5).
you need to use mods like custom dino levels to change the rarity of levels

[past trail]

Difficulty does raise max level to 150, right?

[bleak ivy]

max difficulty is supposed to but on PC its broken.

[past trail]

Sorry if these are dumb questions, but how is it broken? Is it just not upping the max level to 150?

[unreal tartan]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty works for dino levels (for us at least) - the higher levels are rare, but the more you kill the more chance of higher levels to spawn in.

[bleak ivy]

it just sets it to the map's default instead of 150s like the setting says. so island is difficulty 4 (max level 120) tho I've heard mixed results about ASA so 🤷 just better to use the override and ignore max difficulty.

[unreal tartan]

Also, don't know if I'm imagining it, but when we did dino wipes it was harder to find higher levels, so we stopped doing that and just kill the lower levels now. Have found quite a few near max level dinos. It's still rarer than Ragnarok spawns, but not as bad as it was before.

[bleak ivy]

should just be RNG, I don't think it checks or anything

[past trail]

We've been playing every day for about a week, haven't done a dino wipe recently, but even just playing and killing dinos when we see them, there are hardly ever any dinos over 50. Most are 15/20. Gets very demoralizing when we spend hours searching for a decent level Argy, for example, find mostly lvl 30 or lower and the highest is like lvl 70. but meanwhile there's a 150 phiomia walking by as we build our trap

I understand lvl 150s are rare, but there are hardly even any lvl 100-145s. Curious if there's a reason for this? and if the only fix is the mod @bleak ivy mentioned

[proud perch]

Theres a mod that lets you set dino lvls to ragnarok level likes, balanced out, or oposite of the islands low lvls to consatnt high lvls

[agile gorge]

anyone know if mutation rates are different for asa? I've yet so have a baby have a mutation on my server. and ive gone through quite a few generations of rexs .
also does anyone know of a answer to the dinos flying into the sky while they are growing up?

[bleak ivy]

its because its the island, you are probably used to the other maps distribution. the custom dino levels mod can change it to rag-like distribution which will help immensely.

at least with ASA everybody can do mods nobody needs to be ignored.

[bleak ivy]

mutation rates shouldn't be different. but they do act differently. now they are separated from wild levels.

[proud perch]

i'vea wierd bug... when i fly around 50,50 it "teleports" like a whole caves worth of dinos there and its just a cluster of scorpions, araneos, scorpions, megaladons, and dilos... ???

[bleak ivy]

yes, the 50/50 bug seems to be happening again. not sure if there are any fixes its just teleporting things there I believe. no idea where/what it chooses.

[proud perch]

it was like a grenade of dinosaurs exploded and i just see megaladons insta dying and falling lmao

[bleak ivy]

yep, probably took from the water cave.

[sonic walrus]

Guys, does it happen to anyone that the dinos fly up (whether flying or terrestrial) and don't go down unless you restart or go far away? (Nitrado, I don't know if it's the same in official.

[valid dagger]

Anyone have an insane RAM usage for the server?

[worn knot]

Currently with no-one connected but a small base and 1 mod with The Island map my server is using ~10,600 MB of ram

[bleak ivy]

mine is below 3GB but nobody is on it

very small base 1 mod as well

I think I have 30~ dinos

[worn knot]

I do have 64gb of ram soley on the server so that may be allocating more than it needs

[bleak ivy]

probably mine is only 16GB of ram.

[native wave]

ASA? 11GB is pretty normal

I have 4 people, including myself, playing on my server...moderate building...and it sticks around 11GB

[sour osprey]

my only real issue with asa is my game stutters a fuck ton, i get 50fps average then BAM stutter down to 25 every 30sec or so

[native wave]

my fps smoothed out when I elimnated volumetric clouds and fog

[sour osprey]

my game goes crazy bright when i get rid of clouds

[native wave]

do you leave on bloom?

[sour osprey]

id play the game so much more if i didnt stutter

[native wave]

I dislike the bloom effect

[sour osprey]

i dont think i did but will check when next on

[valid dagger]

LOL
We have 2 servers and one of them is alocated around 60/70 people and we have to reboot every 5 o 6 hours because the RAM usage is like 50GB in just 5 hours of play. Ridiculous.

[bleak ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-laugh-laughing-you-serious-jk-simmons-gif-6107729

50GB thats insane.

[valid dagger]

Im talking about ASA.
In ASE we have 2 clusters with all maps and only use 20GB each machine.
Is ASA the problem, we have a machine with 128GB just for 2 servers of ASA and is not enough.

[bleak ivy]

I'm hosting ASA as well 😂 thats actually insane.

guess thats what 60+ people and stuff does to a server

also I accidentally just deleted my ini 🙃 so that was fun

[oak umbra]

Has anyone had issues with ASA dedicated server not allowing photo mode when you go to toggle it in the menu. It just returns to the game but is not in photo mode. This happens to myself and others on the server. But in single player or non dedicated with the same mods enabled, it works fine. Could not find any info on server settings that may enable or disable it so no clue why.

[bleak ivy]

there is a setting for photo mode. its working for me. I might've had admin at the time tho so check that.
PhotoModeRangeLimit=3000
bDisablePhotoMode=False

game.ini btw

[oak umbra]

Yeah I added those settings to the game.ini recently and restarted it but still nothing and I also enabled admin just in case but still no luck. But thanks for the suggestion.

[rigid helm]

can I reach older worldsaves somewhere? it seems Im only able to see very last one

[sleek apex]

new ASA 5x unofficial server can be found with #neverwinter

[stuck copper]

Hello, im done with official crashes , dcs etc... losing my time, so i want to try Unofficial. Can any1 share good server long term with decent population ? no mods

[gleaming kite]

Arkania official x1 if you like challenge

[stuck copper]

zohan32 thanks will try , maybe something with up rates ?

[thick vessel]

im trying to host a dedicated server and the server is runningfine but i just cant seem to connect to it. anyone have any suggestions on how to fix? Also the right ports are 7777 7778 and 27015 right?

[native wave]

yeah the game doesn't currently support other ports. make sure you've forwarded those ports to your server properly

[thick vessel]

okay cool

ty

[barren swan]

You only need 7777 and optionally RCON. 7778 if not used anymore and 27015 was used by steam server browser, which is also not used

[crisp latch]

is there a setting to remove the engram costs without also unlocking tek without boss kills like "bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true" looks to be doing?

or increase the amount of engram points without needing an extra line per level?

[glacial ember]

hello i dont know if i am right here.....but i have a problem with my character....after server crash i dont see anything in my inventory...no engrams....no implant....no stuff....but its all learned and my inventory is full with stuff....does someone have a idea to fix this problem...btw play on unoffical server

[vagrant ledge]

Give me a min and I got it for you,
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=0
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=12000
Add that to your gami.ini and you will get 12000 points at lvl 1

[vagrant ledge]

Had another player that got this issue, but it was just after logging in. Sadly im not sure how he fixed it, I just gave him a few items and then boom everything was back. So try taking some items or drop your inventory in a bag

[blissful mango]

there are some zipped files in the directory, inside of them are old saves.

evidently you cannot put images in hnere? they end in .gz

[cyan briar]

someone knows a 2man unnoficial server that wipes soon ?

[stark idol]

How do i add curseforgemods to the server?

[robust ore]

@cyan briar inx servers would be my go to

[oak umbra]

Well I found the issue causing photo mode to not toggle on and also foliage and fluid interaction to stop working on your system for all users on my dedicated server. It turned out to be one of the mods I had added. So keep an eye out for a mod called Stop the steal, it just disables the thief creatures from taking your stuff. I'm suprised a mod could have that effect on client side effects.

[vagrant ledge]

if you dont want the 2 dinso that steal stuf you can disable them completely in your ini

[oak umbra]

I know, but I still want them. Just need to watch out for them again.

[viral mantle]

Do boss fight scale with difficulty offset? Seeing articles they do and they don’t

[wise kindle]

As far as I know yes.

[bleak ivy]

they are effected based on the difficulty, I've never seen somebody test if they are effected by offset as most people just set that to 1

[queen zinc]

If your cuddle interval 1 = 8 hours between care. What setting would you use to make the cuddle interval 1 hour between cuddles?

BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.25 would be 2 hours. So, 0.125 ?

[sharp vessel]

Hi everyone !
We found a problem on the server, we can claim creatures from other tribes, someone know how to avoid this ? It's a real problem for public server like mine...
Thanks in advance
(It's on ASA)

[wise kindle]

Decay timers? Dinos become claimable after the timer runs out.

[sharp vessel]

Ye'p, that was this thing, I found it somem inutes after I asked !

[wise kindle]

Nice 🙂

[sharp vessel]

Another problem, I set this "ForceAllStructureLocking=True" to lock all the structures from other tribes but we can go in their smithy, storage,etc... even with this setting activate

[wise kindle]

Pvp?

[sharp vessel]

PvE

[wise kindle]

Huh that is weird. So after the setting was enabled, did you try to pick up the structures and put them back down to allow the setting to take effect?

[solemn zephyr]

Beacon has an amazing breeding calculator that's accurate down to the second

[sharp vessel]

We tried but it doesn't work either

[wise kindle]

Mods?

[sharp vessel]

We only have Super Spyglass + and Cryopods

[wise kindle]

That is strange. Do you have ORP?

[sharp vessel]

ORP ?

[wise kindle]

Offline Raid Protection. In PVE it protects bases from say, a stray giga etc. puts everything into a state where they cant take damage when no one from the tribe is online

[sharp vessel]

Ye'p, we have it, sorry I didn't understand "ORP" at first xD

[wise kindle]

No worries. Im stumped tbh.

Maybe it was glitched. Try turning it off, starting it up, then shutting down and turning it back on again.

I should ask, when making changes, you are fully shutting down, changing and saving the settings change and then restarting the server correct?

[sharp vessel]

I always make modifications after shutting down the server, it's not recommanded to modify something when it's on xD

[wise kindle]

Good ok just checking. Some people think its fine to make changes while running then wonder why their settings dont work 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

But yeah maybe try “turning it off and on again” for lack of a better term 😉

[sharp vessel]

Habit of my work, so it's seems normal for me xD

[wise kindle]

Same.

[sharp vessel]

I will try and let you know if it works or not

[wise kindle]

Sounds good. Now I gotta go check if its somehow broken on my server just to make sure its not a new bug 😂 Pretty sure its not but now Im worried.

[sharp vessel]

The most important problem was the creature's claim, now that this problem is removed, it's this inventory privacy xD

[queen zinc]

Wow these auto calculations from Beacon are awesome. Thanks for the suggestion. This is great.

[solemn zephyr]

NP man. The beacon discord is extremely helpful as well!

[wise kindle]

I dont know what to tell you man. Hit up Lionsden or #1110925695900713072

Most of this chat is server owners working out configuration issues. Maybe join some pvp discords and ask around.

[olive talon]

That's all it's meant to be.

[obsidian sandal]

Anyone found a way to enable flyer speed leveling without a mod and just the ini change yet ?

[wise kindle]

Its still not enabled in game yet it seems.

[obsidian sandal]

guess i'll just have to wait for a server update. will keep an eye on them.

[wise kindle]

Well it works on single player at least lol

[hasty perch]

Question is it now that xbox and steam will be able to play together on unofficial when xbox releases?

[obsidian sandal]

they said cross play will be enabled from the start

[hasty perch]

Gotcha, any idea of this being a server setting we have to run on?

[wise kindle]

It might be. Tho I have not seen what it is yet. For ASE Xbox to Win10 crossplay there is a setting, so I imagine we will be able to control Xbox to Win10/Steam as well. If not thats kind of a problem for pvp unofficials.

[cold night]

anyone else having bug with things appearing nearby the redwoods linking not only building parts but we noticed some players waking up this location in sky with all these random structures

[hasty perch]

yea its a bug, just take the creative mode gun and destroy it

[cold night]

how do you do that i'll tell our admin we was using command giveallstructures and if was linked to a players base it would give the admins tribe all the structures also to that admin lol

[hasty perch]

tell them to go into creative mode and then use gun to demo it all. I would refrain from using give commands on it. THe demoing part runs no risk of hurting the actual tribe

[cold night]

okay thanks greatly appricate it i also posted a bug report on this matter with cords and xyz stuff and much detail i can so hopefully we can get a fix soon

[dreamy venture]

Anyone know the command for medium teleporter?

[sharp vessel]

It works now, perfect ! Thanks !
Now, it's my last question...
We know, it's The Island, but we can't find creatures with the level max : 300

I'm using this on my server, that's correct ? Because with this we haven't find any wild creature to level 300

• OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10
• DifficultyOffset=1

[wise kindle]

ok so I am also of the less mods the better but I HIGHLY recommend the mod Custom Dino Levels by Kitzykatty

[dreamy venture]

cheat GiveTekEngramsTo <UE4 ID> PrimalItemStructure_TekTeleporterMini_C

cheat GiveTekEngramsTo <UE4 ID> PrimalItemStructure_TekTeleporterSmall_C

Works for the mini but can't get the medium size to work

[wise kindle]

The default setting evens out the level distribution BUT NOT TOO much and you will be able to find 300s again.

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, I checked this mod, I tried my better to not use it, but The Island will always be The Island it seems....

[wise kindle]

Just add it, do a wild dino wipe and enjoy. It does a good job.

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, it will be easier than broke my head with default setting in ARK xD

[wise kindle]

Technically unless you are willing to touch every creature spawn on the map there isnt a good way to balance the spawns unfortunately. I just slap on that mod and let it run with default. I see 270s and 300s ALOT more now, but not too too much.

[torpid hatch]

I’m not able to pick up my tribe mate with an argentavis and fly around with him. It keeps dropping him. Is this intended? Weight and stamina is not an issue and it’s not clipping him through the ground. If it is intended is there a way to change it? Private pvp server and flyer pick enabled.

[sharp vessel]

That's the goal, if all creatures are 300, RIP xD

[sharp vessel]

Also, with this mod, can we let the settings we put or we can remove it ?

[wise kindle]

I believe you can remove it without issue if you dont like it. It doesnt alter the creatures, just the spawn "lean" if that makes sense.

[queen zinc]

After you enablecheats as an admin and finish what you're doing, how do you disable cheats? As an admin on a server, I keep seeing this slow frame notice at the top of the screen. Is there a way to disable admin mode without reconnecting?

[wise kindle]

Relogging is the only way I know of.

[lethal lynx]

any good unofficail servers?

[sharp vessel]

Okey so,
I'm trying to understand how works this mod, but numbers are destroying my head xD
I have that initially :
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10
DifficultyOffset=1

So, if I want wild dinos to have level 300, I need to do like that ? :

[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=10.000000
MaxLevel=30.000000
WantsEqualLevels=True
WantsRagLevels=False
WantsHighLevels=False

[wise kindle]

Did you want all dinos at 300?

[sharp vessel]

No'p, I want some dinos can spawn with the max level 300 and some 280, 290,ect...

[wise kindle]

Cuz you can just not adding anything to the ini and it runs an even spread by default.

I didnt touch my ini tbh. I went with the default setting and its pretty nice.

[sharp vessel]

Okey, I will try with my settings under and remove it to see the differences

[storm girder]

If you just want to up the max level dinos can spawn at, you should only need to change the "Override Official Difficulty" setting I think.

[wise kindle]

He wants an even distribution, which is something Island doesnt do no matter what the setting. So he is using a dino lvl mod to even it out.

[storm girder]

Ah, gotcha

[brave lynx]

Has anyone had success with ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer, I'm trying to add dung beetles to redwood. Testing with this line so far:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_LostIsland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="DungRedWood",EntryWeight=100.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("DungBeetle_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="DungBeetle_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.0)))

Not working

[burnt cave]

How do you get a playerid so I can run the renameplayerid command?

[wise kindle]

Showmyadminmanager

[sharp vessel]

Okey, without ini settings and just my difficulty I said previously, it seems to not working, I wiped my server and the max level I saw is 150 now

[burnt cave]

I tried that command and it doesn't do anything

[north night]

ill pay someone 15 bucks if they can fix not being able to join servers because of "you have been kicked by battleye. Reason client not responding". no i didn't cheat ive already uninstalled the game and battleye multiple times need an actual fix

[wise kindle]

Might want to let it spawn abit. I had 2 270s and 300 spawn within sight of me

[burnt cave]

Sorry, I should clarify, this is with ARK Ascended

[sharp vessel]

Can we agree about that thing ?
You only have this settings, like me :
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10
DifficultyOffset=1

And the .ini for the mod, empty ?

[wise kindle]

Are you running enablecheats with your password? You can get into gcm without issue?

[burnt cave]

I do have cheats enambled on my server (currently spectating). What is gcm?

[wise kindle]

Ill have to go look give me abit, not at my pc

[sharp vessel]

No problem, last question for the moment, the max level on your server is 300 too ?

[wise kindle]

Yes and gcm is creative mode. Being in spectator disables a fat ton of admin commands.

[wise kindle]

Yep!

[burnt cave]

ok I exited specator, and still doesn't do anything when I run that command

[sharp vessel]

Okey, I'll let you tell me when you are on your computer now xD

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something in my settings, but IDK what

[nimble talon]

@proven prawn Can you guys like, announce the patch, idk, maybe after the files are actually there for install? So we don't have to refresh SteamDB like idiots to know when it's actually released?

[wise kindle]

run literally
showmyadminmanager
nothing else, no "Cheat" nothing
just
showmyadminmanager

[burnt cave]

AHHHHHH......that did it lol.....SMH...you'd think they would just make it the same as literally every other admin command 🙂

[wise kindle]

These are the same as what I have

Ensure the mod is installed as well. ASA has an issue with just NOT installing the mod until the second boot. Its annoying.

[sharp vessel]

That's weird tho, because I'm pretty sure, the level max is 150 now, xD

[wise kindle]

Welcome to Wildcard 😉

[wise kindle]

you fully removed the ini mod settings?

[sharp vessel]

Ye'p

[wise kindle]

Thats a weird one. It works on my map, even the beach dinos can spawn high level.

[sharp vessel]

I rebooted my server, I'm gonna do a new wipe and let all creatures spawn, will see

[wise kindle]

I know it takes ages for my map to repopulate. I usually wait an hour sitting in game after making a trip around the map, just to let it have a chance to catch up. Might just take a bit maybe.

[sharp vessel]

Ye'p, that's what I thinking about, I will tell my community to check if they find something higher than 150 😂

[wise kindle]

I fly around and res most of the map as well, since that triggers respawns. Takes an age tho. Drives me nuts.

ope 26.15 server update.

[arctic sierra]

how i lower mating cooldown time? dedicated server btw

[vagrant ledge]

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.1 in game.ini

[nimble talon]

Is it actually up to install? Last I checked a few minutes ago it wasn't

[celest halo]

nope

easy way to check is 2nd link in first pinned message, and look at time updated for public branch

[arctic sierra]

thank you

[warm badge]

I'm having trouble with beehives not spawning. Occasionally I find a bee without a hive and it isn't tameable.

[celest cradle]

Are Linux dedi files out yet?

[hasty perch]

anyone have a ini code for allowing prime and mutton to stack?

[dull thicket]

When will the PC update go live?

[dull thicket]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=50,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=50,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_Fish_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=50,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[hasty perch]

just copy and paste that into ini

[dull thicket]

game.ini yes

[sharp vessel]

I'm here again... It seems to not working, I'm roaming around the map and it seems, the cap is 150, I didn't see a creature with an higher level

[wise kindle]

ok thats really weird

so when you remove the mod, you were getting over 150?

[sharp vessel]

Not at all, with the mod, more creatures are 150, without, they are a little few creatures 150

So, it seems the mod is working, but not the way we want lmao

[wise kindle]

I feel like theres something weird here.

[gray stump]

pfff kernel error on kernel error ... 10x this evening ....

[wise kindle]

whereabouts is your difficulty settings?
Under GUS.ini [serversettings] correct?

[sharp vessel]

Yes !

[wise kindle]

double check those settings arent in there twice

[sharp vessel]

I can confirm, there are not in it multiple time

[wise kindle]

you using Beacon?

[sharp vessel]

Not at all

[wise kindle]

ah dang. That would probably fix it.

[sharp vessel]

I can tho, I know how it works

[wise kindle]

You got me man. I have no idea. I use Beacon when I cant figure something out.

you can try to import your file and take a look at what the Difficulty section says. It might tell you if something is wrong.

[sharp vessel]

Ye'p, you remind me to use it, I will do it now

[wise kindle]

make sure you get the new version for ASA, cuz the old one likely wont work.

[sharp vessel]

Gotcha

[sharp vessel]

Okey, that doesn't make logic, in "Difficulty", it's "300" in "Maximum Creature Level", I'm gonna break my head on my keyboard lmao

[wise kindle]

do this

go into a cave and see what the crazy levels are. If they are over 1k, then its correct and you just arent seeing high level dinos outside the cave much. If they are only in 600s or so, then something is wrong.

cuz in my experience the cave levels at 300 are super high, but on official they are all under 1000.

[warm badge]

I've tried this exact code for stacking these items and it works for all but mutton for some reason...

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, 300 in wild are equivalent to 1000 appr. in caves

Not on my server tho, I didn't check yet, I will do now

[wise kindle]

cuz if the cave dinos are high then you are just seeing some weirdness with spawns and you know the server is configured right.

[sharp vessel]

Fun fact, the cave near Volcano are less higher than wild dinos lmao
The higher was 145

[wise kindle]

dear god what is wrong with your map

[sharp vessel]

I'm gonna try the cave in the snow

[wise kindle]

Are there any special spawns or anything like that?

[sharp vessel]

Okey, in the snow cave, they are 290 but not at all what we want for a 300 wild server

[wise kindle]

so the map is messed up

so you sure its taking your changes then? Sounds like its completely ignoring your settings files

[dull thicket]

yeah

[sharp vessel]

I'm assuming the same thing, it seems my settings are fully ignored

I don't know if it's a Nitrado setting or what but if it is, I'm gonna break their office lmao

[wise kindle]

id do a full import of settings into Beacon. Then do a full shutdown of your map, verify its fully down, then let beacon do an update. Then restart.

I have noticed the map will say its down, when its not, so maybe its just having save issues.

I'm also one of those people who hits the SAVE button like 3 times before I start the map back up lol.

[sharp vessel]

That's a good point, don't be ashame of that lmao

[queen zinc]

Wow my server went from using 14gb to 6gb. Nice update.

[frigid vine]

how you could update already? 🤔 Success! App '2430930' already up to date.

[queen zinc]

I dunno. It's on 26.3

[frigid vine]

26.11 is current 😄

[celest halo]

lmao, pretty good when latest version is 26.15

[sharp vessel]

@wise kindle Wait Wait Wait, I found a freaking thing in my Game.ini, "MaxDifficulty=True", that's not OUR problem ?!

[queen zinc]

When you have admin turned on can you disable the frame warning at the top of the screen? It's really annoying.

[wise kindle]

Im not even sure what that one is tbh.

[sharp vessel]

I'm pretty sure I saw this settings in solo, it normally cap your max level wild creature at 150, let me check

[vestal iris]

If i rent server for my pc will my friend be able to join when the console version drops?

[wise kindle]

I just checked I dont have that setting in any ini file.

this is set to false correct: bUseSingleplayerSettings=false

[sharp vessel]

Yes, now, I'm kinda sure this is the problem
"Maximum Difficulty : Forces the max Creature level to 150, regardless of map"
This description in solo

I'm just gonna remove this thing and let you know if it works, I'm 99% sure it is

[bleak ivy]

the setting doesn't actually work but yes, remove it.

[sharp vessel]

It seems to work, the proof, wild creatures are cap to 150 xD

[bleak ivy]

people keep coming in here and saying it doesn't lol. it was also broken in ASE as it did 120 max level instead (depending on the map)

[wise kindle]

It appears to be the bane of existance atm lol. I guess remove that and the mod I recommended will probably work now.

[sharp vessel]

Tbh, I have a doubt, because it seems to bypass my settings to level 300 for wild creatures, I removed it, I'm gonna wipe my server and will see in some minutes, I'm kinda sure in 3 minutes, I will see at least a wild dino in the 200 levels

Okey, welp, not in 3 minutes, I need a delay, someone is taming when I'm rebooting, well f*ck xD

And, that's what I said, Baryonyx level 230 in 1 minute lmao

[wise kindle]

🤦‍♀️ I thought I was losing it lol

[sharp vessel]

That's finally good, don't know why Nitrado set this setting automatically in their service

That's the worst thing if you don't see it or don't know what it is

[wise kindle]

Thats a weird one. I have Nitrado also and have never seen that one.

[bleak ivy]

max difficulty does change the difficulty but multiple people have said it doesn't set to 150 like it says. might be something else along with it 🤷 or server vs singleplayer. who knows

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, I know, but on my server, it worked, now, my dinos are apprt. 300 xD

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure it starts on by default on servers as most use 150s as the max level

[sharp vessel]

Maybe in solo it's broken, but on servers, it's not

[bleak ivy]

or its one of those sometimes broken sometimes not things lol. ini seems to be iffy on ASA right now. mutton stacking sometimes has issues

[nimble talon]

Latest we can download is still .11

[dusky radish]

Does increasing difficulty also increase likelihood of alphas?

[oblique steppe]

Why does it seem like everytime an update drops for Ark it is never available for unofficial servers thru Nitrado until hours later?

I miss Gportal so much....they always were on top of updates immediately for their hosted servers.

[queen zinc]

Aren't the official servers hosted by Nitrado?

[celest halo]

because thats how WC does it, they up date officials. then hours/day later release it for unofficial

[wise kindle]

Official gets the guinea pig treatment 😂

[celest halo]

they did same thing with ASE

[oblique steppe]

Supposedly YES but then again why do they never update their unofficial ARK servers where people are paying good money for the server?

[celest halo]

WC dont run any unofficial server

[oblique steppe]

my Gportal ARK servers were always updated almost within minutes of official servers being updated

[queen zinc]

Who hosts the official Ark servers?

[wise kindle]

Id rather wait to see if it tanks official tbh. From experience, id rather them catch the issues first.

[wise kindle]

Nitrado

[celest halo]

only way that was true is if they had the official build, unofficial build is always behind

[oblique steppe]

Also gotta wonder why WC drops these updates on the weekends when most people are able to play...it's frustrating.

[wise kindle]

If their contract was with gportal, then they would still update Official first per the contract. So likely you would see the same wait.

Its going to be around what, 6000 more maps to update before you see it either way.

Actually it will be more with console added lol.

Being a guinea pig for updates btw isnt fun. My experience on Official when i heard “update” was always panic.

[oblique steppe]

not really...I ran servers on Nitrado for 3 years before a friend told me about how good Gportal was and once I checked them out....I never went back to Nitrado. Gportal has been very good to me and I've been setting up and running unofficial servers for years. Gportal is just so much easier to use and has som many more options for customization on servers. They also are very fast at getting things updated and getting back to you with customer support for any issues I've ever had. I love Gportal and was sad to hear that we were forced to use Nitrado for ARK.

[wise kindle]

How is it that they would go against contract? Part of it is to update official first.

[oblique steppe]

yes official was updated first but then Gportal was ontop of updating their hosted servers as soon as they could which was usually within 15-30 mins after officials were updated...at least that has been my experience.

[wise kindle]

Im talking about timing btw. Thus is why we wait. Literally the primary reason is they have to clear official installs first.

[wise kindle]

This is my point. Goortal doesnt host official maps.

[oblique steppe]

yes I know I've been talking about their UNOFFICIAL servers

[celest halo]

hosting sites cant offer the update till WC puts it out

[wise kindle]

Yes and they can’t get it till official is done.

Selfhost if its bothering you to wait.

[oblique steppe]

True and Nitrado has been infamous for not updating unofficial servers right away ....how else would you explain that Gportal was always faster at getting their unofficial servers updated...way before Nitrado had it done.

[celest halo]

 nitradopc        12643734    4 days ago```  steam and nitrado unofficials have not been updated in 4 days by WC

[oblique steppe]

Never....self hosting is a nightmare! Too much work and expensive tech required to maintain properly...I'd rather pay another company to do it for me. I'm not mad about it I'm just frustrated that Nitrado does not update in a timely manner.

[wise kindle]

Ok then welcome aboard lol

[celest halo]

nitrado has no control over it if WC does not update it

[wise kindle]

Grumbling only makes you well, grumbly. We are all here to get answers. Im not hear to complain. Thats for general chat 😂

[oblique steppe]

I don't call discussing unofficial servers in this channel as grumbling

Isn't that what this channel is for...to discuss unofficial issues

[wise kindle]

It is when there isnt anything you can do but wait till the contract expires 🤷🏻‍♀️

[celest halo]

wont change anything WC still going to be slow on doing the update to the unofficial branches

[wise kindle]

Or selfhost, so you can wait like the selfjosters wait too 🤷🏻‍♀️

[oblique steppe]

I was simply stating that Nitrado needs to step their game up and I think that everyone who has unofficial servers hosted thru them would agree.

[wise kindle]

Oh i agree. And complaining about a service we cant use gets us nowhere lol.

[celest halo]

it has nothing to do with Nitrado they cant offer an update that WC has not giving them yet

[wise kindle]

THIS ^^

[oblique steppe]

I guess we have a difference in opion of what complaining is...that is okay we can agree to disagree. I'm not trying to upset you.

[wise kindle]

We are all waiting, gportal would be waiting too.

[celest halo]

complaining is fine just do it towards the right company WC controls when places get the updated files and they have not given them to unofficials

[wise kindle]

Well actually im not waiting cuz i dont have to. I dont selfhost.

[queen zinc]

What is it that we're missing from the update? Just the memory optimization?

[celest halo]

that we know of, who knows what was changed thats not in the patch notes

[wise kindle]

Yeah it looks to be just a memory fix.

Biggest impact would be ram usage on the selfhosts servers i think.

[oblique steppe]

Yeah I feel ya but once you've played unofficial who ever wants to go back to official....too much toxicity and things like pillaring, chat drama, griefing, and most importantly being forced to play the game the way they want you to (meaning no quality of life mods to make it so much more enjoyable). I'm spoiled with my mods and being able to adjust settings for the multiplayer server i'm playing on with friends. I just can't do official anymore...been there done that for 4 yrs...never going back to that.

[visual skiff]

Does anyone know how can I set a modded map on a dedicated server ?

[oblique steppe]

What would really be nice of WC to do is not drop the update until it's avaialbe for all platforms.

[celest halo]

good luck with that

lest its not a major version number change

[hearty laurel]

It's not really a big deal unless it's a major update that stops clients from connecting once they update, but the one major update they've released so far unofficials got pretty quick from what I saw

[wise kindle]

And thats why I'm gonna go eat dinner and play cod or something. Not something I need to wait around to see.

[hearty laurel]

Yep, I'm just chilling watching shows while I play on another monitor & have discord up on another xD

[celest halo]

yeah this time, i have seen them take hours with a major version change on ASE a few times

[hearty laurel]

yeah I've seen that happen too & it definitely sucks 😦 I'd say I hope they are better this time around, but it's WC so it will probably happen at some point, if not more than once. =\

[celest halo]

the way they been doing minor version dont think they are going to be better this time around lmao

[humble thicket]

anyone know why one of my players cant transfer from Extinction he keeps getting this error and ive reset the map and repaired it

Failed. Was unable to upload character for transfer, please try again later

[mental jewel]

Are others able to transfer?

[humble thicket]

so far he is the only one

[wise kindle]

Does he have a character in his upload? If he is console, he could have accidentally duped it and its sitting in his character download stopping him from transferring.

He can check by logging into a map that he doesnt have a character on, and then clicking on the download character button. If one is there, he can drop it on the map. That will fix the issue.

Otherwise sounds like a corrupt character maybe.

[humble thicket]

yeah he checked for that already, ig ill just have him make a new character and add him back to his tribe

[wise kindle]

Sounds good. Thats probably what I would do.

[cyan briar]

its posible to make money from hosting a small dedicated server ? or is it still forbidden by the nitrado exclusivity ?

[oak patio]

Hey in my server Im finding it hard to get to level 82, its 232570 xp for it. Is that normal or did i fuck something up?

[hearty laurel]

I need 207500 for 81, so seems pretty normal. Use explorer notes for boost then kill alphas, shouldn't be too hard that way

[celest halo]

this is the EULA for the dedicated server ```By using this Software (ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server, the “Application”), you agree to the following:

The Application is intended and allowed for Personal Use only. Running the Application for Commercial Purposes is not allowed. Commercial Purposes includes any revenue generated by operation of the Application which exceeds Application operational costs or tipping.```

[cyan briar]

so that means that inx or unofficial servers cant make money ?

or is it just the dedicated server of 8 people that ark lets you do it ingame

[hearty laurel]

in game is non dedicated

[celest halo]

not a lawyer so cant tell you what it means, how you interpret it is up to you

[native wave]

If you make money on a dedicated server it can't exceed the costs to run the server

[bleak ivy]

and tipping

[solemn zephyr]

I'm no lawyer, but the way I see it is other hosts cant CHARGE for hosting. Take that with a grain of salt

[bleak ivy]

this is the most likely thing, its just there to make renters not work. you can be pay-to-win if you want

kits or whatever they be

[visual skiff]

As simple as its written, it forbids any revenue made by using the application

[visual skiff]

Actually, only if it does not exceed the operational costing

[celest halo]

way its written it does allow a revenue off tips, not one off charges to use it

[visual skiff]

oh alright

[mental jewel]

You can just move his player file to the new map he wants to go to.

[unreal geyser]

Servers that I have set to Auto Favorite keep disappearing in the Unofficial Servers list.
They also don't appear in my Favorite servers list.
This is on Survival Ascended.

[celest halo]

same

2 times i have had mine show in favorites list

[humble thicket]

How? my server is also for ps4 so we dont get the same as PC

[unreal geyser]

What sucks is that I told some peeps in a server I played that I'd be back later. Now I can't find said server.

[wise kindle]

Did you try that "Last Played" button?

Its like "Join Last Session" or something like that. Bottom middle button.

[unreal geyser]

Yes

I clicked it, and it just took me to the server list. The server I had played on was nowhere to be found.

[wise kindle]

I dunno. The favorites never worked for me in ASE so im not counting on it in ASA lol.

[mental jewel]

PS4 I am unsure of. I have had to do it a few times on PC and typically recreate the cluster file afterwards.

[wise kindle]

On console its easier to just put him back into his tribe, run a couple engram commands and have them throw out their tames and change the imprint. Its second nature at this point. Copy paste takes about 15 minutes.

[storm girder]

Any idea why this string isn't working? The one I added in for Prime Meat does so not sure why this one wouldn't:
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=10000,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[zenith bloom]

I have a private server I pay for via nitrado for me and a couple people. When I bought the server the lowest player count was more than it currently is.

Does anyone know if I can lower it on nitrado’s site without losing my save?

[coarse tulip]

You can adjust slots and runtime on your server and it wont delete your saves

[solemn zephyr]

Mutton ini stacks are broken is why

[storm girder]

Ok, thanks!

[steady hinge]

Will a dino wipe effect beehives? not seeing a single beehive on my server

[raw glade]

@strong plinth

This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment and server advertising channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.

[obsidian sandal]

hey all, if i want dino wipes every reboot can i add -destroywilddinos to my bat file ?

[pure plover]

-ForceRespawnDinos is what you're looking for

[obsidian sandal]

thanks!

[spare plaza]

anyone know how to find a nitrado server that suddenly disappears from the search? been playing on it for a couple weeks totally fine and all of a sudden it's gone. on the web interface it says it's working fine but I still can't find it

[mental jewel]

I see they still haven't release the new version to us. Wonder if they are using the official network as test subjects.

[cloud sorrel]

@storm girder hasn't been working can stack prime but not mutton for a while now

[lucid jungle]

Anyone seen a crafting potion mod yet?

[ornate raptor]

So I just had someone hop on my ASA server and spawn in items and have fly power without using any admin commands. Also he didnt download his toon. Any ideas how to prevent this?

lvl 1 with ascendent flak and 400 C4 in about 10 minutes

[wise kindle]

Disable all your downloads, its likely the gcm transfer exploit.

[ornate raptor]

Yep. Figured that out. Came back here to announce it. Thank you

[wise kindle]

If you find out any details send them a bug. People seem to find new ways everyday.

[sick tundra]

For ASE cluster, is it OK to use a couple of map extensions? Or since it's shared mod list will they cause issues?

[zenith bloom]

I am paying for a server for 20 people atm...but it looks like there is a slider option to go down to as low as 4 people...when I do this though, nitrado warns me saying "Ark Survival Ascended needs at least 2- slots to start" Am I not able to lower to slot count to 4 then? And why would they have this slider option if it wasn't able to handle only 4 people? And why isn't it able to handle only 4 people?

[plucky copper]

how do you guys increase the shutdown warning timer

[loud niche]

Any good solo or duo servers?

[native wave]

because they are the only ones renting out servers, so they can force people to buy much more than they need.

don't like it...host your own

[native wave]

they are not shared mod lists...you can run different mods on different servers. For instance I run aberration specific mods on my aberration server, but they are not needed on my other servers, so I don't have them in the mod lists for those servers, just aberration

each server should have it's own modlist unless you are hosting with a provider that does clusters and unifies the modlist, which is, frankly, stupid.

[sick tundra]

Ok cool. I just followed a YouTube guide for setup, and there only seems to be one gameuser ini file that they all use. This is with steamcmd and not server manager. Do you by chance know how to separate them?

[native wave]

no idea unfortunately. don't know your interface

if you're just running steamcmd to do the installs...install them in separate directories...

shortcuts have the command lines, but point them to separate installations. each install should have a gus.ini and game.ini to configure along with the command line

would guess the way the cluster guide you followed had you set it up is creating a different shortcut for each server...with a different path for the save files. That only works if you share the binaries and configurations

(just working through the issue in my head)

[ornate raptor]

Ok, so the server seems to be overwriting my tribute and surviver download settings on start-up

[wise kindle]

I also have all these set. I'll revisit these when transfers come back. Hopefully they will have these kinda things fixed.

PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadSurvivors=True

PreventUploadDinos=True
PreventUploadItems=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=True

[ornate raptor]

Yeah. I added them to the GUI under server settings. They get reverted every time I start the server

[ServerSettings]
NoTributeDownloads=True
PreventDownloadSurvivors=True
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=True
PreventUploadItems=True
PreventUploadDinos=True

[wise kindle]

Thats weird. I had an issue earlier today where it just ignored my settings changes.

I think the map is showing as shutdown but its not, so the save isnt happening when I hit the button. So I kept it down for 10 minutes after it said it was offline, then saved and its fine now.

[bronze bronze]

has .15 not been released for us yet?

[wise kindle]

nah I think it might not be the best, might be holding it back

[torpid spear]

I know there is a modding channel but I don’t have access yet, however I’m new to modding and wanted to make a mod pack for my servers. I want to use a lot of the things from s+ but the back end stuff, and just the importing of s+, is way out of my ballpark. Has anyone had any success and is willing to share some knowledge?

[sharp vessel]

Hello everyone !
It's me again !

My community keep asking me the setting 'StackableFoundations' (Allow to set foundation on another foundation), I can't find it, someone knows it ?

[glacial creek]

its called a mod not a setting

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, I know, it was a setting from S+ mod, I remembered that, but my community keeps saying it was not only a mod xD

[glacial creek]

s+ is not a thing no more its all intergrated in asa now, and unless they unlock it a mod is required..
im using this "Arkitect Structures Remastered" 931874 great mod from old arkse days.. has the stackable foundations.

[sharp vessel]

I'm gonna take a look at it, thank you !

[glacial creek]

also has auto doors

[fallow pine]

Anyone having issues updating the server from 26.11 to 26.15?

[sharp vessel]

I assuming, the deploy of the update is not push atm, all the servers on Unooficial are not updated

[spare brook]

Will be good to the server memory stabilising instead of trying to reach mars lol. Hope they release it to us soon!

[valid dagger]

Yep, is not avaliable atm

[vestal lava]

Have your servers already reached tame caps?

[valid dagger]

I hope this update stop our server to reach 80GB of RAM.

[valid dagger]

U mean the global tame of the map?

[vestal lava]

yes

[sharp vessel]

From now, yes, I removed the "MaxDificulty=True" on my server, it's causing several problem with officialdifficulty, and set the mod "Custom levels" to have an even distribution

[vestal lava]

ok I didn't understand half of that, but am glad if it solved the problem for your server. We're kinda stuck. Can't tame anything.

[valid dagger]

Not atm, but we have config 6K dinos tamed in total.
Go to your ini files and find the line MaxTamedDinos=

Not the tribe one, the global one.

[gray stump]

Hello does it exist a mod to manage the Spawn time about crates supplies? We would like to allow 2 red and 2 red ringed per day real time... But I can't find anything about this kind of request.... Thx community 😉🙏

[queen zinc]

Anyone else's curseforge mods preview window in Nitrado showing the mods out of order even though the load order is correct by mod ids?

[opal osprey]

anyone know why self-hosted dedicated server would not accept the MaxPlayers= command in either the command line or the ini? mine is showing up as 70 even though ive set it (in both places) to 12

[vagrant ledge]

Its another vommand line you have to put in your batch file if you search in this discussion you will find it

[opal osprey]

ah, ok, thanks

[vagrant ledge]

WinLiveMaxPlayer is the one

[opal osprey]

ok, cool, thank you

[vagrant ledge]

Maybe beacon can do that, never used it so not sure

[young minnow]

Nah beacon can't do it. There no ini for this so a mod is needed

[gray stump]

I am on beacon app but I don't see anything about a timelaps 😢

[gray stump]

OK do you have a mod name to purpose?

[young minnow]

Far as i know, such a mod does not exist

so someone has to create it

[vagrant ledge]

Increasing the maxtameddinos should fix that for you, but are you guys already at 10k? Think that default

[vagrant ledge]

Simple spawners could do that for ase so I guess wait for that mod

[gray stump]

OK thx for your help I will w8 for it.

[fallow pine]

I was able to get the Imprinting Affinity buff

Just worked after taming, it is at 0% because I wasn't able to actually imprint on it.

[queen zinc]

So, I'm super confused. I am writing out my mods in the IDs on Nitrado. I copy and paste the string into the active mods list. I hit save, apply. Reload it and it takes all my mods and jumbles them around and doesn't keep the load order.

[young minnow]

As long as the list of numbers are in the same order. You are fine

[queen zinc]

I realized after hitting refresh, it's moving the order around and the IDs. It won't save a load order.

[young minnow]

thats odd

[queen zinc]

It was earlier today. About 5 hours ago Curseforge just automatically updated my mod string and no matter what I do, no matter how many times I manually input the string, it takes all the mods and sorts it all over the place.

It's like CurseForge updated their integration today and has some sort of auto mod load order thing going on.

[zenith bloom]

Anything needed other than an additional system to run my own server?

[craggy apex]

Anyone have fun mod suggestions that don't change the balance of the game at all?

[brittle pewter]

I put the maturing speed up but now the cuddle is to slow for me to get the imprint bonus, does anyone know which parameter i need to adjust for the cuddle to go faster? i've tried BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.2 but it doesnt seem to work

[tight sleet]

you can try 0.02 for the interval, but your effectiveness will tank

[worthy pelican]

Anyone know about issues with ASA private servers where the character models are the old ones and not the new ones? I can even notice the female default characters hair doesnt fit right on whatever version my private server has (its clipping thru her head lol )

[brittle pewter]

Will try thanks

[strong pasture]

I use BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=0.999989986 BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.0625 BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0.999989986 BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=0.999989986 BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=10 BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=0.999989986 BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=24 Which puts the fastest (Dodo) at 38m 34s Mature time with imprints at 30 minutes. The imprint multiplier increases the effect of the imprint (In my case 1 imprint = 10 imprints but as the ImprintingStatScaleMultiplier is 0.999 it wont go past official imprint effectiveness (it rounds up) my longest is Gigas at 10h 9m 57s requiring 2 imprints for 100%
this goes in game.ini

[spark sandal]

When cross play comes out. Will a server wipe need to happen and do we have to upgrade the server?

[strong pasture]

nitrado or self hosting? if self hosting just ensure crossplay setting is enabled no idea about nitrado

[spark sandal]

Nitrado

[strong pasture]

god knows , probably a paid upgrade knowing them

[spark sandal]

Oh ok thank you though

I really hope not my friend and I are opening a server soon and don’t want to have to wipe it just a couple weeks after opening it

[tight sleet]

so ive had difficulty finding a good balance of rates so i could get 100% effectiveness on all of my dinos. have you tested this on a diverse range of dinos? cause i like to breed things like yutys, allos, beavers, etc and i find i have to compromise one rate for another to get effectiveness up

[spark sandal]

@tight sleet I love using beacon and it also tells you what the timers are on all Dino’s and how many imprints you need

[strong pasture]

these were the settings I used on a large Xbox/windows ASE cluster so yes plenty of willing bloodthirsty lunatics helped test them. Newer stuff from the last year haven't been tested though as I stopped building/hosting clusters so feel free to let me know if something is borked. Buts its working so far on ASA

[tight sleet]

beacon? is that a mod?

[brittle pewter]

mature speed at 24 doesnt that make it incredibly fast? i have it at 4 now and it goes fast

[solemn zephyr]

Just get beacon. Will show you your breeding and imprints and effective down to the second.

[tight sleet]

ah ill have to see. i perfected it on my old xbox save, but with asa i found my xbox stats to be... not as they were. but ty. ill do some more testing

[strong pasture]

depends Single player settings has its own multiplier which isnt additive but a multiplier so if you have it on 4 and single players is 10 its now 40

[tight sleet]

oh...that might have impacted something along the way lol. i have singleplayer settings active

[atomic adder]

Any way to run the ASA server headless?

[brittle pewter]

Im not on single player im on dedicated unoffcial. thats not the same right?

Should i use your settings but for maturing 2.4?

[atomic adder]

Any ideas? I'm trying to get rid of the new stupid unreal console so the server just runs headless.

[ionic plume]

there still issues with the server update? cant join any

[nimble talon]

ffs still no release for our dedi update

[frigid vine]

You can take a look how windowsgsm it does. The console is there toggagle

[nimble talon]

Eh? They already pushed the asalive branch, they just didn't push the Public branch, they do this every time

[atomic adder]

Nice callout thanks! However, I'm not seeing ASA in their repo 😦

[glacial creek]

its the 2nd listing on thier plugin page
https://windowsgsm {dot} com/products/windowsgsm-plugins?page=1

[atomic adder]

Yeah I realized that it wasn't a part of the main project. I've been looking at the Repo, and it isn't clear to me how they are attaching to the additional process that is started.

[glacial creek]

download the zip file, and the plugins icon puzzle looking bottum left corner of windowsgsm and import

[nimble talon]

So is windowsgsm like an ASM for a bunch of games?

[atomic adder]

I'm not trying to use WindowsGSM, I'm HOPING there is a way I can disable this "NewConsole" bs and have the server print to Stdout instead of this dumb client lol.

[glacial creek]

windowsgsm is a "real" game panel.. asm is just a server tool.

[atomic adder]

"real" lol

@glacial creek do you use WindowsGSM? If so, can you tell me if it prints the server logs in WindowsGSM? Or if it also starts that Unreal server console.

[glacial creek]

easy enough to setup and test, i use AMP

[dusky radish]

There is also a line to just 1 shot imprint 100% for your first care action.

[brittle pewter]

What is the line?

[dusky radish]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=100

[atomic adder]

Can I use any of the console commands via RCON?

[serene stone]

2 things, does anyone know how to turn pve flyer carry on? My server admin can't figure it out.

Also, anyone else having issues with their server not coming back online after an update?

[frigid vine]

Checkout the plugin for ASA 🙂 maybe that helps and you can Share it

[queen zinc]

I just want that one mod back that let's fliers walk backwards.

Positioning all these burbs is tedious

[atomic adder]

Seems crazy, but I can't seem to find a list of support RCON commands for ARK?

[burnt cave]

Not sure if there is a setting to fix this: So is the industrial cooker now nerfed in the sense that you can no longer auto craft kibble? You are forced to disable auto crafting (otherwise it just crafts dyes) and you’re limited to only batches of 10 at a time.

[brittle pewter]

How can i get the dino levels higher in my server? there are still spawning lvl 1 dinos and the highest wild lvl i've seen is like 22

[burnt cave]

Set level difficulty to 5.0

[brittle pewter]

Will try thanks!

[burnt cave]

Your welcome. The actual setting is: OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5

[tight sleet]

i just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for these. that babyimprintamountmultiplyer literally made all of my breeding problems go away. i had to place it directly into my asa game.ini since it didnt exist with the other values. but THANK YOU!!! all of my imprints are high now :D

[undone isle]

Hey guys quick question, do we know if -preventhibernation works in ASA?

[restive rain]

Hi, does anybody know how to properly set up multiple ASE clusterized servers on the same host using the same directory? If that's even possible, I've tried looking for infos online but didn't find anything particullary in-depth or useful. I know I can have a different directory for each server, but having over 40 mods on each it's starting to get heavy on my storage. Thanks in advance!

[coral kindle]

I'm having this issue as well, did you find a fix?

[stoic stirrup]

the helicprion mod is not working anywone idea ?

[burnt cave]

Is clustering even enabled yet?

[humble thicket]

Is there a way to turn fliers on, on the Mod Map Svartalfheim for single player?

[coral kindle]

I narrowed the issue down to a mod, just doing process of elimination now

[restive rain]

Uhm, has been for quite a while.. at least on ASE which is what I'm currently working with, not sure about ASA if that's what you're asking

[burnt cave]

Oh yeah sorry I was thinking you were talking about ASA, keep forgetting this is a mixed channel

[wary pasture]

anyone need one

[snow swift]

Anyone know how to find the mod ini file on Nitrado ?

[wise kindle]

I believe the modder made flying impossible or next to it on that map. I havent heard of a way around it. Its hardcoded to disable flight last I read in his discord.

[wise kindle]

Mod files and information can be found on the mod page in Curseforge if that is what you were looking for.

[snow swift]

So the mod that I’m using the creator just release some game user setting and I wanted to edit them for my server I run but I do not know we’re to find mod ini files so I can adjust I can find my server ini files and game user setting but nothing related to the mod creator file are there

[wise kindle]

You need to select the “config files” on the left side in Nitrado. This brings up the game.ini and the gameusersettings.ini files. You can use the drop down to swap back and forth between them. Be sure the map is shutdown FULLY before making any changes and always, always hit that SAVE button when you are done making changes. I highly suggest joining the Nitrado discord as there are several tutorials in there you can use.

[wise kindle]

As for the mod ini, you gotta join the modders discord and ask where to add the mod entries. Only they will know this information.

[coral kindle]

It was no fall damage mod for me FYI

[solemn zephyr]

Or just put them in your custom config in beacon

[solemn zephyr]

Why use a mod for that when you can just adjust the fall distance multiplier via ini?

[coral kindle]

It never worked for me whenever I used it in ASE, not saying it wasn't user error though 😉 I did add it and am trying it now.

[solemn zephyr]

Not to sound like a broken record, but use beacon. It doesn't make mistakes like I used to 🤣🤣

[coral kindle]

Fair enough 😛 I actually did get it and have been playing around with it on my test server. I want to be sure I know what I'm doing before I use it on my community server, have a lot of active awesome players 😅

[charred vector]

Can anyone help me with nitrado breeding settings for my server? I want to speed up the taming so it only eats a few pieces of kibble and tames within a few minutes. I’m not sure what config files I need to change for this but I’ve tried so much and nothing seems to be working well. Help!

I’ve upped the taming speed and food drain but it’s just all jacked up. If anyone knows the numbers for this or if there’s more I have to do please let me know 🥹

[oak patio]

Hey is there settings for mutation rates and how much they gain from it?

[charred vector]

No I never changed anything for that. It’s pretty much official stats and settings but boosted weight and some stacking mods. And I just want the taming to be easy. Nothing else is really changed

[dry flame]

what server is everypne on? in search it seems like all the servers are low pop on ASA

[charred vector]

Yeah it seems that way maybe because console isn’t out maybe. You can join mine when I put it back up 😆 lol just trying to fix the taming so if someone could help me. It’s called Riley’s evil gang hahaha

I just don’t know what to do in settings to make the taming quick all my settings seem to not work very well if anyone knows nice settings for this plz lmk

[autumn eagle]

realistically how fast do you want things to tame? what is your TamingSpeedMultiplier= set to in GUS?

[charred vector]

I want it to tame in a few mins and only eat a few kibble pieces if that’s possible. Right now I have it blank because I tried 10 and 100 and nothing really changed to be that way. I wanna ko it then put a few kibble and almost insta tame

I had that on my private ase server but can’t even remember how I did that. I copied someone else’s settings so now I’m stuck 🥹

[autumn eagle]

Are you turning the server off prior to changing and saving the setting.? a setting of 10 would only require 2 kibble on a 150 rex

[charred vector]

Yes I am , so if I change it to 10. Do I leave the wild dino food drain alone? Maybe that’s what I’m messing up because I’m putting that to like 100 too

[autumn eagle]

Food drain can stay at 1. Standard food drain and 2 kibble is only 6:50 minutes

[charred vector]

Ok thank you so I’ll change the taming speed multiplier to 10 and leave the food and see if it works. And I’m putting it in user settings right not the game Ini?

[autumn eagle]

gameusersettings

[charred vector]

Amazing thank you so much for your help I will try that now

[autumn eagle]

Make sure you are putting it under [Server Settings] group too

[worthy pelican]

I never found a fix. Just wear hats to hide the bad clipping

[charred vector]

Ok thank you !

[worthy pelican]

Might have to look at other mods I have. I dont have a no fall damage mod enabled

[crystal herald]

does anybody know how to fix the tethering distance in asa?

[cloud sorrel]

@crystal herald start a dedicated server

[burnt cave]

☝🏽

[crystal herald]

how?

[cloud sorrel]

@crystal herald in steam under tools section is the program download it run it and if your machine can play on same machine if not it doesn't take as good a machine to run the server as it takes to play it

[half river]

How frequently are those crashes occurring? Or is it seemingly random?

[zenith patio]

The one im on has a nice balance. been playing here since evolved for few years. stable, hands-off mod, mostly official playstyle and "older" people who also work 🤭 which i like. cause then we all on in the evenings

[stoic stirrup]

Helicoprion mod not working ?

[ruby bear]

hiii, i guess it issues with some mods, i seen one say , one was the no fall damage mod,
mine happened to be the " BagUp" mod

[brittle pewter]

I try to enablecheats but its not working. I dont have a server admin password so i keep the string empty. am i doing something wrong?

[dire relic]

is some of the mods going get fixed like the blueprint maker

[wise kindle]

Single player then? If not, bro you absolutely need to set a password.

[worthy pelican]

Yeah! After an hour or so of taking out every single mod one by one, it was "Oceanic platforms" for me. It was a mod messing it up!

[near ravine]

How's everyone's Nitrado servers doing

[torpid spear]

is .15 not live yet?

[hoary panther]

Anyone figure out why us lady characters are growing a 5 o'clock shadow?

Wait. No way. I gotta check this when i get on cuz that’s hilarious.

[hoary panther]

I would upload a picture but it wont let me 😢

[stoic stirrup]

Helicoprion mod not working ?

Can you dm it to me? I gotta see this but cant get on till later. I need a good laugh.

[stoic stirrup]

Helicoprion mod not working ? Can anywone help me

[inland sequoia]

Can anyone help me to join fy friends unofficial server? I get connection timeout everytime i try to join. Have open all the ports to the game. He can join the server(the host) but not me

[stoic stirrup]

Can someone help me I want to download a mod, it does it for 2 minutes then it's halfway then it stops automatically and my friends can't join the server

[hoary panther]

Sent Fr

[wise kindle]

Join the AA discord and ask the modder, thats the best place to ask questions about their mod.

[stoic stirrup]

You have the discord ?

[wise kindle]

I dm’d you the link

[signal gazelle]

Has anyone had issues with dinos not spawning just set up a server for a friend and there are no dinos lol

[plucky copper]

to make a save is that a command in game?

[long lagoon]

Is anyone else having issues with their dedicated server crashing randomly with self hosting

[wise kindle]

Im told you can use “savegame” but have never tried it. Not sure if that’s just for single player.

[solemn zephyr]

It's

Cheat saveworld

It doesn't create a backup point but does force update your current savegane

[dusky radish]

Did friend port forward on router?

[inland sequoia]

Yes, if i set up my own server i cant join that one either

[long lagoon]

Savegame on the server console never works for me on ASA

[wise kindle]

I wondered. Yeah I have only used it ages ago on single player ASE but there were folks swearing it works on servers lol. I wasnt sure on that one either anymore lol.

[rough tartan]

Is there any area for server adverside here ?

[wise kindle]

It is blocked to me oO

[bronze bronze]

choose a role

[rough tartan]

Thanks it worked

[dusky radish]

Does the person hosting have anti virus or malware? My server was being blocked by malwarebytes. Had to remove it.

[raven wigeon]

hello guys, any idea if we can change the feeding through radious?????

[deep flower]

Better Troughs Mod

[raven wigeon]

only with mods?

[stray axle]

anyone good in figuring out what crashes our server? 4 mods updated today. we only know 2 names of the mods that updated today. others where done to fast to see what it was. and the server keeps crashing. we played around 30/45 minutes and then the non stop crashes started. we get in game and within 5 mins it crashes again.

[deep flower]

Has anyone got AllowUnlimitedRespecs=True to work on their server?

[deep flower]

I think everytime a mod update gets pushed it crashes the server - hopefully they fix this

[stray axle]

you mean that the game itselfs want to update mods while we are playing or?

[deep flower]

nope the mods, or at least thats what i read. My server has a 10+ mods and crashed like 6 times in a row yesterday and then is good for 24 hours...

[winter nimbus]

JD, May I ask if you run through nitrado or self hosted?

[stray axle]

is there anyting we can do? like prevent them from updating the mods. or is it the mod itself that crashes the game?

[deep flower]

Self-hosted

[winter nimbus]

Ah... Yeah same here, self hosted. Has crashed 8 times tonight. Crash logs keep referencing crashes on thread worker 0 or 1.

[deep flower]

Do you have mods?

[stray axle]

yes he is the host from my server Lupus

[winter nimbus]

Yeah we have a couple. Dont know exactly how many but lets say a bakers dozen or so XD

[stray axle]

10-14 mods?

[deep flower]

Yeah I have about 20. I am trying to find the post referencing the info I got. I think everytime they send an update to cursedforged, it crashes or has a chance to crash the server. thats why its so random.

[bronze bronze]

list the mods

[deep flower]

ASE didn't use cursedforge, and never had that problem. I really hope wildcard fixes this bc its insane.

[bronze bronze]

hmmm - you have the additions too.....

[stray axle]

we dont use the ability of the brachio he is just chilling

[deep flower]

I think its everytime they push an update to cursedforge

[bronze bronze]

Additions Ascended: Deinotherium is known to cause a crash just on its own, reported in the mod creators discord, Additions Ascended: Xiphactinus can cause a crash on its spawn/death and Additions Ascended: Brachiosaurus is when its R is used but could also trigger a crash in general

[deep flower]

can you pm me a pic ur of ur crash log folder with the times and dates? @stray axle @winter nimbus

[winter nimbus]

Yeah we have heard that brachi especially has bugs and crashes when changing his harvest mode. Thats why we dont change it at all and just leave it at his default mode XD Also the crashes have been happening while we are nowhere near the brachi.

[bronze bronze]

its nothing to do with curseforge

[stray axle]

it crashes most of the time i try to use my vanilla advanced spyglas in game while flying a riniognata musquito😂

[deep flower]

Ahh okay so its those dinos doing activities causing it

[bronze bronze]

yes

[deep flower]

Comparing our crash logs and none of them share the same time

[stray axle]

some times but sometimes its not because we 2 people are riding the musquito and logging in after crash we are stil standing on the flyer and we have to get somehow down. and then when we thing everyting goes okey it crashes again randomly every 5 mins

[bronze bronze]

why would it? the server only checks mod updates on startup lol, people just wanted to spread some misinfo on curse because they hate it and want workshop back

[bronze bronze]

ASA is crashy in general, one thing if you crash alot you can do is turn off foliage and water interactions

[deep flower]

i actually love cursedforge and the new system. if you are right which i indeed think you are, then yeah that is definitely the case

[stray axle]

its the whole server that crashes not only me lol

[celest halo]

i only have 1 mod, but my server has been running for 3 day now without a restart

[deep flower]

GAS

Thank you @bronze bronze ❤️ we appreciate you

[bronze bronze]

are you using the mod spyglass, it was also causing a crash but i don't know if its been updated this was over a week ago so probably was

[stray axle]

no i said it is a vanilla item from the game itself

[bronze bronze]

i would be removing braci and deinotherium anyway for now until they get a update

which i just asked garugas discord and theres been no timeline given on fixes which is big sad

[stray axle]

which is actualy very weird because its a futured mod that screams downloade me because i'm sponsered.

[bronze bronze]

its a complex issue i guess

[raven wigeon]

how do we kill our dinos on PVE?????

[merry thorn]

enable friendly fire then use guns or blades. but, you have to claim them first.

[hearty laurel]

what are you trying to kill? for things like sheep there's slaughter on the radial wheel when holding something like a hatchet.

[raven wigeon]

@merry thorn that way we kill the tribe members to right?

[merry thorn]

yes. allows tribe kills too. just be aware that if you're all fighting in some small area, you can accidentally kill your tribemates or their tames 🙂

^ speaking from experience here. 'Jet, could you please not kill my rock drake? we have friendly fire here.'

[raven wigeon]

yeah, dont want to enable that

[merry thorn]

you just have to be aware of what's going on. there's no other way to kill babies unless you lure them to wilds or drown them

[stray axle]

trap a dangerus dino or trex with a archy or riniognata in a buiding and drops your babys inside of it.

[celest coral]

anyone able to successfully increase the taming rate on a nitrado server for ASA? TamingSpeedMultiplier doesn't seem to work. Confirmed to have shutdown, saved changed, then restarted.

[shy olive]

anyone else has that structure collision disabled is not working on unofficial servers?

seems like nitrado servers wont honor de config

[rigid helm]

F nitrado half of its configs are locked anyway

[gleaming whale]

anyone figure out to host multiple servers off single pc

[wise kindle]

Ensure that the map is indeed stopped before editing and saving. I had this the other day. I fixed it by waiting a full 10 minutes after it said it was stopped, then making changes and saving. It fixed the issue.

[coarse tulip]

when we getting a fix for the 5050 bug tho

[wise kindle]

The one that existed in ASE for like 5 years? That one? 😂

[coarse tulip]

Yes. lol

[wise kindle]

You got me lol. Next year maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️

[coarse tulip]

Back to haunt us eternally

[solemn zephyr]

@celest coral @shy olive zero issues with either of these using beacon to set up my inis

[solemn zephyr]

Yes it does, that's what I was saying above lol

[worldly nebula]

for some reason i always crash my server when i enter the SW Lava Cave, Anyone any ideas on how to fix? (ASA)

[weak cobalt]

Not sure if anyone is interested but I released an asa manager and opensourced the project today.
You can find the github at Limitspassed/ASAManager

Looking to see if anyone wants to make improvements on the manager. Include features and overall get involved in the development. It's mostly working now and I have a video on youtube showcasing it. Looking forward to seeing it grow by the community!

[celest coral]

using beacon worked, thanks!

[wise kindle]

It does this on single player as well?

[atomic adder]

Where can I find a list of RCON commands supported by ARK?

[wheat tiger]

anyone know how to open a lan server on ASA? me and my buddy are using hamachi just wanna have him join me

[worldly nebula]

didnt checked yet. i will do when i have my dinos in base.

[wheat tiger]

how do i have my friend join me through hamachi?

[atomic adder]

So... are RCON commands usable in Ark not a common thing? I can't find this info anywhere! Kinda nuts TBH

[nova hill]

Has the server patch been released to us yet?

[worldly nebula]

copied my Game.ini, GUS.ini and savefiles from Server to singleplayer and tested. no crash.

[wise kindle]

So after loading the cave assets in single player, in the same session does it still crash on your map?

[astral mulch]

why wont my mods update and why dop they say that they are invalid please help

[worldly nebula]

wait what kind of wizard are you?!?! it didn't crashed back on my server. so my client crashed my server because it had problems with loading assets correctly?

[wise kindle]

The magical kind 😉 Ark likes to lose it if it tries to load too much too fast on a server. Load the same on single player, where there is usually ALOT less going on, and it often gets you past the issue.

[astral mulch]

@olive talon you sent me here can you please help me with my issue? mod just wont update and when i do get them too my game crashes and some how loses all update data. also i tried uninstalling them and reinstalling them didnt work. tried verifying update files. tried letting my modded server install the mods and update them. i know its not the mods or the server since i have a friend playing on the server with the mods right now

[oak mulch]

Does anyone know what lines need to be added to the my dedicated servers ini to get more points per point spent on stats like health etc for dinos and players? thanks!

the .15 is out for unofficial or not yet?

where in the dedicated server files am i supposed to find my crash report?

[bronze bronze]

[wide rose]

I'm having this issue on my server too! Did you ever find a fix?

[drowsy sonnet]

anyone else having issues with dedi boxes? i can put items in but cant take them out , only with Gcm will it let me take stuff out. on asa

[worldly nebula]

i remember someone mentioned it was a "no fall damage" mod that cause the old character model.

[wide rose]

I dont have that mod ;w;

The character models were totally normal last night but today all females have a bald spot and different hair, missing eyebrows and eyelashes, and using scissors to change hair - none of the hairstyles fit (theres also extra hairstyles that arent available to the normal models romantic/viking/braids? but they still clip) and have big bald spots and clipping. Some of the male models are missing their old beards or have different moustaches/hair. Hopefully someone has had the same thing happen or knows a fix.

[left pivot]

Anyone know how to tame wyverns and rock drakes using the draconic chronicles mod?

[worthy pelican]

Mine was mod related, but not no fall. It was "Ferry boat" for me. Just had to go thru and remove all mods then add one back at a time until we found the one that changed the models

[bronze bronze]

wrong channel which means no one should join that because its admin can't read lol

Is it possible to download a mod map trough curseforge and add it to steam? I tried downloading it trough the game but its really slow. Never have this problem in ase because it downloaded through the workshop back then

[muted gulch]

Has anyone figured out how to whitelist yet with exclusivejoin or any other command?

[onyx geode]

Does anyone have any idea when the unofficial servers can expect .15? This RAM problem is really not funny.

[lapis pine]

Anyone know why tek chest doesn’t fly fast? It only hovers. Tek legs and all the other pieces work, also works on single player…

[timber pecan]

knights is mid

[valid dagger]

We have to reboot ours servers every 4/5 hours. If not the ram usage is really insane.
50/60Gb just for ONE server.

[onyx geode]

Same here. That's why I'm asking. We do have a work around, following a tip from the Discord, but it's not very satisfactory. We are currently completely without mods on our three servers to avoid making the situation even worse. I think that WC is taking far too much time for the release apart from the official servers.

[valid dagger]

We never use a mod atm, so the ram usage is 100% problem of the base game.

[onyx geode]

Have a try at the Wise Memory Optimizer. This doesn't work if you host with Nitrado, but if you have your own server, this tool is really helpful. Simply activate auto optimization and set it to every hour.

[valid dagger]

I have my own server, so I will look in to that. Thx

[quick mountain]

anyone else have prob dl mods some just keep restarting then fail over and over

[brisk delta]

friends of mine still have an issue, i managed to try a fix and delete the mods folder, it worked for me and my mates are trying it now. must be an issue still with forge mods system

[worldly nebula]

only way i saw atm is a mod called "Gatekeeper" from HexenLord based on the EOS IDs. But i didn't tried it yet.

[elder dirge]

is there any way to limit/control how much ram the dedicated server uses?

[quick mountain]

@brisk delta ahh il give it a go thx

[sinful trout]

What happened to the servers

[valid dagger]

no.. is insane how much it needs

[valid dagger]

wow, works perfect, thx!

[obtuse acorn]

Did you all configure your decay timers?

[valid dagger]

are you hosting the server? or you use nitrado?

[valid dagger]

I think is not working, in every reboot the decay timers start again, so is imposible to decay any strcutre, Im right?

[obtuse acorn]

Plus auto destroy function

[obtuse acorn]

Hmmm, i will check this on my server

[valid dagger]

auto destroy decayed strucutres is not in the files, so I dont know

[strong pasture]

26.15 still not public yet for self host?

[obtuse acorn]

I just added the config lines from ASE. Or do you mean the devkit?

[raven wigeon]

whats the point in Wild Card announcing Server update if they dont release it for the private servers???

[valid dagger]

nono, I mean in the ini files, in the game.ini and gus.ini is not any autodestroydecayedstructures, I see the Dino , but not the structure

and I not import nothing about ASE, is all created by de ASA server.

[obtuse acorn]

I believe the ini's that comes with the server downloads are very minimal.

[valid dagger]

The ini's from ASA have more options than ASE. I look it into that and there are more options for almost all the things

but not the option for auto destroy decayed strcutures 🤔

[elder dirge]

It's on my local machine. I just want to control the ram usage as i don't think it needs 16gb for just 1 or 2 people to connect to it.

[valid dagger]

download Wise Memory Optimizer, that program saves my machine to not reach +100GB ram usage.

[spare isle]

Is anyone using ORP? I have set the ORP to True on a dedicated server now when i log back in all my structures says Offline Protection and cant access any structures.

[raven wigeon]

lol, everytime the server restarts it resets the dacays!!! Any1 having this too?

how we stop this?

[hexed anchor]

cheat SaveWorld
then
cheat DoExit

[tacit holly]

This happened to me, just leave the server and rejoin, you don’t need to restart the game.

[stone stone]

Hey guys, question: This private server I was on has disappeared from the server list... Any idea why and what I can to do fix it ? I need my big fat dose of ARK !

[hexed anchor]

They update their server and maybe disappear from list or favorite. Or maybe they closed ! Come in my DM if you need help.

[spare isle]

Tried that yet all my structures are still under ORP its as tho the server has not reconised me joining

[stone stone]

dming you

[chilly grotto]

Command to only see dinos? no trees or rocks?

[wild drum]

Hey I'm new to Ark and running a private dedicated server for friends and family, is there anyway to increase dino draw distance on the server side? I know this could have an impact on performance but I'd like to experiment with it.

Current setting seems to make it challenging when looking for things at any decent distance with a scope

We're on Survival Evolved by the way

[pallid kestrel]

Has anyone got ORP and tribe ally working on a PVE server yet? (ASA)

And are decay timers still resetting on server restart for everyone?

[onyx geode]

Yep. It hasn't been fixed, yet

[onyx geode]

Both work for us.

[pallid kestrel]

Thank you ill try it again

[ashen burrow]

I always log in and have to log in a 2nd time to access any inventory's

[valid dagger]

yea, the decay is not working.. in every reboot restarts again

[pallid kestrel]

Yeah i tried making the restart once a week but nitrado likes to do surprise updates

[wise kindle]

The double login is getting annoying. Sometimes 3 times. I cant wait for console release so we can get some client updates.

[raven wigeon]

@hexed anchor that doesnt seem to work!!

[wicked dagger]

Anybody has A timer for ark on xbox?

[raven wigeon]

doesnt work

[ashen burrow]

I just turned off ORP on the server in hopes that it fixes the double log in issue

[wise kindle]

Let me know if this works for your map.

[nimble talon]

Seriously? Still no update?

@proven prawn When the heck are we supposed to get 26.15?

[tacit holly]

Just to confirm, you’re able to pick up/demolish/repair your structures but you cannot access their inventory? You can ride tames too and open doors to your base. You need to leave and rejoin, you might have to do it 2 or 3 times tbis is what worked for me, happens everytime I join the server for me I just leave and join back and it’s fine sometimes gotta do it twice

[ashen burrow]

1st time log in since I've had it changed, I can access inventory's. Don't know if that means it's fixed or not.

[wise kindle]

I just look to see if I have an implant. If I do its all good. But really need to relog several times to see if it fixes it.

That said, I hate that work around. My players dinos can get too easily merked early game without ORP.

Also found out, jumping beds or dying fixes it. So relogging isnt needed.

[dusky radish]

Does difficulty affect alpha spawn rate? or just the levels.

[vestal iris]

Least im not the only one then

[arctic sierra]

what settings do i have to mess with to make it so stones and wood do not break on one hit? dedicated server btw

[native wave]

HarvestHealthMultiplier in GameUserSettings.ini

[arctic sierra]

thank you

[native wave]

no problem

[covert sky]

anyone got the no water ini

[arctic sierra]

its set to 1, is that the default? theres a line with "HarvestAmountMultiplier" set to 5

figured it out

[native wave]

yeah 1 is default...setting it higher will increase the health of resources, so it'll take more hits to the health of the resource to deplete it. So you end up getting more resources by hitting it multiple times.

player and dino damage to resources can be adjusted as well, both in ini and in game....adjusting it higher will mean you get more resources with every hit

What's everyone's servers running RAM wise with all of the updates lately?

• Ram usage / players online? (ASA)

[native wave]

11.5GB with a couple people playing, 4 total

[dreamy venture]

Appreciate! I'm trying to keep a log of what peoples machine are running on average.

Trying to look into what type of new machine I want to build for hosting, i need a new setup 😄

[ashen burrow]

Is there a config setting that prevents dino's from falling through the foundations?

[native wave]

no, that's a bug WC has to fix

[native wave]

it's also a bug from the early days of ASE....so they are unlikely to fix that any time soon.

[hardy sun]

Anyone have any idea why when using admin commands for mundane tasks like saving, destroying small abandoned bases, killing abandoned dinos, etc. That the server starts lagging into an eventual memory exception crash? Can't seem to figure out what's happening. Thanks in advance for any help.

[compact goblet]

can anyone help me how to enable no clip in my nitrado server?

[lofty agate]

Guys, your tribelog looks like all code or have colors?

[next frost]

Are new servers coming out for us pc players Still or no tomorrow?

[brittle pewter]

Trying to set an admin password. the wiki shows it as "?serveradminpassword="
Do i need to use the questionmark in the gameusersettings.ini?

[amber veldt]

SOON

[muted gulch]

Gatekeeper mod worked - thanks!

[oak mural]

no but if u put it in the command line you need the question mark

[spark sandal]

Will console have mods support?

[merry thorn]

that is half the reason for ASA, so yes

with the caveat that the mod authors need to make their mods console compatible

[restive crystal]

[empty dagger]

Just asking around, would anyone genuinely be annoyed if they fixed the Bulbdog & Shinehorn spawns on Aberration so the Shinehorns spawn in the Fertile Zone & Bulldogs in the Bioluminescent Zone?

I have proof this was the plan from the start, it's just that somebody made a mistake.

[leaden sage]

We should boycott wildcard, snail games and nitrado. Maybe get Microsoft get involved and do a corporate buyout of snail. And shut wildcard down and give the ip to a more competent studio. Or make a new studio with passionate devs. And an actual pr team that communicates with its fans on why things are delayed. Why certain set backs happen what the team is doing and what the team feels it van reach. Vs. Hey guys we good for Tuesday. Than mo day hey guys f you.

Also boycott ark 2. And every new game snail games touches. Or wildcard touches.

[native wave]

shoo

[arctic sierra]

lmfao

[grand gull]

I couldn't find this anywhere, but

unofficial servers are missing things like friendlyfireEnabled, because it only has GameUserSettings.ini in the folder

just copy "Game".ini from a singleplayer game over into your server config and you can access dino growth rates, FriendlyFireEnable, state multipliers, ect

[icy path]

is there a way to add death beacons to an unnofficial server? tried a couple things so far, no luck

[humble thicket]

looking to add more to our chill gaming family.
we play on a 5x unofficial server that's real nice has orp always up no lag. we play other games together to. send me a pm if you looking for a new gaming fam! take it easy

@icy path yes that's a server setting in the config pm me I'll help you

[wise kindle]

#1110925695900713072 please

[tardy plover]

There is a bug you can go into a non dedicated game or a server you host, enable GCM , upload the admin rifle , level million dinos unlimited c4 and transfer to other people's unofficial servers , you still have god flying mode on, go download the admin rifle from the obelisk and start going on a rampage destroying people's unofficial pve or pvp servers without having an admin password. This happened on my server and I figured out how they did it. This is because on nitrado servers the download items dinos etc is not disabled by default and people are not really cluing in that transfers are available yet. This company is an absolute joke to let such a game destroying bug waste people's time effort and money into the game . This was a thing back on ase as well. It is usually protected from by enabling cross ark on nitrado and having your servers only linked to each other but there is no cross ark yet and the settings are bad by default to allow this

[wise kindle]

disable all downloads.

[humble thicket]

yo lmk if anyone looking to join the gaming family and play some ark

[tardy plover]

Yes but that isn't how the servers come set up you need to have knowledge of that or use beacon etc because it isn't even in the ini file by default or in their main easier to use general settings tab you need to have knowledge of altering your game inis etc to not have this problem and a huge portion of new players / server hosts will not know this

[wise kindle]

this will get traction in #1110925695900713072 where people look for unofficial maps to join

[wise kindle]

This isnt something that should be disabled by default, as it blocks transfers when they are released. This is a bug, and with bugs come issues. The workaround is to manually disable all downloads. Its pretty par for course tbh. Transfer issues are common and alot of us saw this immediately and changed settings to compensate. I'm sorry you missed this with your initial testing.

[tardy plover]

As did alot of others just go try it you can find tones of servers with the issue. So yes it should have been default or atleast had check boxes to click easily on the main page of your server

[slate cliff]

Sorry if this has been addressed but I haven't seen anything on it. Has anyone been able to increase flyer speed? I have the setting on in my server but it still isn't working, any work around? Or am I doing something wrong?

[wise kindle]

So this is a Nitrado issue I'm guessing? Are you reporting this in the Nitrado discord? Nothing can be done from here.

[tardy plover]

I'm reporting it here because this is the unofficial discussion dude. This is effecting unofficial servers. And yes something can be done from here because it helps get the word out to unofficial server hosts

[olive talon]

Currently bugged

[olive talon]

If its currently a Nitrado issue specifically with an unofficial server, there is nothing that the server setup channel can do

[slate cliff]

thank you

[tardy plover]

It's a wildcard issue, they are the ones who left the ability to upload an admin rifle and keep gcm on your character between transfers nitrado can't fix that

[merry thorn]

just disable downloads. super easy.

[wise kindle]

If you would like to warn people, then state the problem and the solution with specific codes. The message right now is very hard to follow.

[tardy plover]

Yea apparently I'm wasting my time here even trying to help anyone

[merry thorn]

to help someone is to tell them how to fix the problem, not just complain about a problem. yes, default settings allow downloads from single player. the solution is to disable all downloads, then your server is safe from that.

[tardy plover]

The unofficial server set up channel can have correct information in it for server set up lmao jeez exactly what I'm trying to help with

[olive talon]

Then disable downloads, as Jet has suggested, and it fixes the issue.

[tardy plover]

The first way to figure out how to fix a problem is be told about how the problem is occurring and that's what I did your welcome.

[merry thorn]

imo, it's not actually a problem. uploads are useful. single player upload at ob to go to next ob, ez pz. password protect your map to play with your friends, no problems. you probably want uploads and downloads on in that case so you can run tek cave. but when you get into running public maps with people who might be trolls, the option is there to disable it all.

[frail crescent]

Does anyone know if the noundermeshkilling & noundermeshchecking moved to GUS or are they still command line arguments?

[zinc fjord]

I’m new to unofficials. Do I have to continuously make new characters each server? Or do my character’s levels carry over?

[wise kindle]

Im seeing mine in the GUS atm, sounds like it did move.

[merry thorn]

if you move from one cluster to another, new character. if you have a group of clustered maps (ASA doesn't do clustering yet), then you can transfer between them and keep your character.

[dusky radish]

This is my first time hosting a server. What is clustering?

[frail crescent]

Have you been able to test that?

[wise kindle]

I have not! You think its bugged?

[merry thorn]

when you have multiple maps and you allow transfers between them, you can secure your cluster of maps with a unique key to prevent players from bringing or taking things to/from your maps. It's not an option on ASA yet. Should be available once we have a second official DLC.

[wise kindle]

I should mention I'm PVE so if its bugged I wouldnt even know about it. Its more set to help save some peoples tames from getting eaten in accidents lol.

[dusky radish]

Thanks! One more question, do you think a 32gb ram i711th gen laptop can support 5 friends with a cluster of like 3 maps ?

[merry thorn]

i've never self hosted. been running xbox on nitrado for over 3 years and no idea what they run on. but i've seen some crazy reports of stuff like one map taking 20gb and then someone else saying theirs took 70gb ram. leaves me wondering what the heck even is happening or what is real haha.

[tardy plover]

Exactly!

[valid dagger]

true true, I host 2 servers of ASA, one of them is with 50 people , and I tooks like +40Gb in less than 3 hours running. If I dont restart the server when hit the 50Gb, he crashes in little time.

[wise kindle]

Its definitely possible on ASE. ASA, not so much. At least not right now. @dusky radish

[dusky radish]

thanks yall

[rigid helm]

anyone figured which config lines would make loot "normal" not those busted 500%?

[cobalt lion]

Did you ever figure this out?

[icy path]

negative

[young minnow]

If this is ASA, you need to use mods

[tardy plover]

None of the adding dinos to spawns has worked for me on asa since launch, code works fine on ase but not asa even paid for the new version of beacon to try and help. No luck

[merry thorn]

yeah, those spawn containers haven't been data mined. nothing really has. tough situation for sure.

[dawn geode]

Case #37999 @humble thicket has been muted for 2 hours.

Anyone who can confirm if OpenGL is supported or not in asa ?

[celest halo]

anyone think we will ever get v26.15 for our servers, its only been 2 days since patchnotes for it

[wise kindle]

Im wondering what it did to officials 🤔

[celest halo]

im going to say nothing seeing how they been running it for 2 days, if it had major problems they would of done updates to them by now

[wise kindle]

yeah I'd love to be a fly on the wall at WC right now.

[keen cloud]

Is every mod out for ASA going to be available on console? Unsure how that’s supposed to work

[celest halo]

was same way with ASE

[wise kindle]

The modders evidentally have to make them available for crossplay, adding controller support and such. At least thats what I'm told. Some have been preparing their mods, others have not yet started. We just have to see whats ready after launch. Might take some of them a bit to get them available.

[celest halo]

they also have to make a GUI way to do settings, console cant edit the ini files to adjust mod settings

[keen cloud]

So it’s a matter of when rather than if. Seen or heard how some wouldn’t bother doing that so I was confused on how that would play out

[wise kindle]

Yeah the impression I get from the modders asked about the subject is a lot of uncertainty on how to handle it. We will just have to wait and see.

[opal osprey]

there any cryopod mods that actually work properly? as in, don't delete your dinos on server restart?

[wise kindle]

"Cryopods" by Pelayori works fine for us.

[mental parrot]

I host a nitrado server and 1 player has had an issue where the game crashes and when he tries to join the lobby it crashes on entering every time, had to roll back the server to fix it, it has happened to him twice but no one else has had an issue, anyone else had this problem?

[opal osprey]

thanks

[tiny finch]

when is 26.15 gonna drop for nitrado servers?

[nimble talon]

Judging by the fact that the crossplay branch is the one that keeps being updated, my guess is not anytime in the near future until those silly console kiddies get their game

[tiny finch]

i mean its already dropped for official - so why can't it be rolled out via nitrado?

[celest halo]

because people that play on unofficial are the stepkids that WC dont care about

just like them setting the slow mode in here to 2 min again, because they messed up and dont want to hear about it

[nimble talon]

Haha I didn't notice that, jackasses, though to be honest it's probably for the wave of console scrubs that are about to start complaining ;D

[celest halo]

i know what its for, but its also BS seeing how there is no spam happening in here, and if someone does come in for help they not going to get much when people have to wait 2min between question/answers to figure out what there problem really is. and if they would stop giving a date for something then day before say oh sorry we need more time they wouldnt have this problem of people spamming there discord

its also going on 52 hours since pc patch note about server update yet no unofficial servers have the update yet.

[deep flower]

2 minute slow mode is wild - its 10 seconds in pvp-discussion 🤣

we are in timeout ladies and gentlemen

[wise kindle]

There was, i was reporting it and they were deleting repeatedly. A good bit of spam.

[mental jewel]

People spammed the discord when they didn’t get a trailer during the community crunch that WC didn’t provide a date for.

And also when the date was end of October they spammed constantly.

People get ticked that they give out or don’t give out a date.

[olive pecan]

Hi guys. How can I increase the bosses drop? I want to get more Element. 😦

This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment and server advertising channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.

[olive talon]

Slowmode is back to 10

[empty dagger]

Hopefully they get tired...

I'm tired of them

[celest halo]

they wont, they will give up till friday then start again if its not out by then

[olive talon]

Back on topic y'all

[empty dagger]

As console player, ini files are completely alien to me.

What can they do that the normal settings can't?

I'm more or so asking how they work, & what weaknesses they have.

[celest halo]

for dedicated servers theres no gui to change settings, so have to edit the ini files manually

there is also settings you can add to the ini that cant be done with the ingame settings

[olive talon]

Well if you mean servers themselves, you can change a lot that normal ingame options don't let you. Drop contents, item caps, player engrams per levels, dino drop contents, certain breeding settings

Not to mention creature spawns

Add reapers back to Val's Ab zone

[empty dagger]

Technically, the only thing you can't do on Dedicated Servers on Console is changing Dino & Supply Drop contents, technically the others are very easy to do

And the creatures, but you typed that late

[wise vigil]

anyone has any Idea what settings I need for ORP to be enabled on my server?

[olive talon]

As far as I know, you cannot change engrams per level without adding the config lines

[celest halo]

or stack size by item

[olive talon]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier is also not available in basic settings

[empty dagger]

Actually no, I'm almost certain it is, I think it's under cuddling quality, unless that's somehow different

[olive talon]

PreventOfflinePvP=

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure that is BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier

[olive talon]

It is different. If you do

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=10

It forces you to only have to do 1-3 imprints total, depending on tame. Gigas and stuff like that would need 3 max, but compies and dodos only need 1.

[empty dagger]

Ah thanks

[empty dagger]

Understood what it did, just not what it was called, thank you.

I hope some of these get added into ASA's world settings menus so console players don't have to spend valuable space on their disc for scripts.

[olive talon]

There is quite a lot that basic ingame settings skip over in terms of ini configs

[wise kindle]

Theres a good couple dozen configs hidden from dedi and single player on console unfortunately.

Jinx lol

[olive talon]

Hehe

[wise kindle]

Add to that custom mod configs and it really adds up.

[empty dagger]

When mods come that is.

Custom Dino Levels is a great mod & all, but I want it to be official.

Also, for the love of god, Wildcard needs to fix the Shinehorn & Bulbdog spawns so they spawn where they were literally intended to (Shinehorns in the Fertile Zone, Bulbdogs in the Bioluminescent Zone) {I literally have proof this was an error btw, I'm not schizoposting}

[white cairn]

Will it be possible to temporarily disable ORP so alliances can be formed and then turn it back on? What would happen to the alliance if we did this?

[wise kindle]

Did they just adjust the wiki to reflect the change? You could just swap the spawns pretty easily tbh. Like 1 or 2 lines per spawn, depending on the zone splits.

[olive talon]

You can also overwrite all spawns via so that levels are redistributed

[solemn zephyr]

They vanish and it's a horrible idea for PVP

Imagine one tribe blocks a cave entrance, and the alliance lives inside and tribe 1 never logs back in except to reset their timer?

[white cairn]

Wouldn't be a problem for our unofficial where cave building isn't allowed, admin will dev wipe anybody doing this, thanks for letting me know tho!

[empty dagger]

Adjust the wiki? This has been a bug since Aberration's Day 1

I have proof too!

[wise kindle]

Ok. I haven’t experienced that lol. I mean Id also like WC to fix all the dinos to be sized accurately, but I think we both got a better chance to meet god than see either of these get fixed 😂

Im ok with just bug fixes and a nice game. Call me crazy 🤷🏻‍♀️

[dusky vapor]

Looking for a modder that would be willing to help me bring 1 or 2 items from ASE to ASA for my server. If anyone is by chance willing to help me out, my DM's are open.

[wise kindle]

See the mod channels #modding-general

[mental jewel]

It’s been that way since launch. I don’t see that as a big deal since you can override the spawners if it really bothers you.

[coarse tulip]

We arent able to get boss drop crates in my server. they dont show up at all after killing the boss

[white garnet]

Has anyone gotten the custom stacks for raw/cooked mutton working? It worked in ASE but cant get it to work in ASA...

[echo cypress]

anyone else cant drag anything? im trying to tame a carcha

[sand ridge]

How to ban hackers?

[white garnet]

in console type ShowMyAdminManager and then click the players name and click ban

and if it doesnt auto kick them then click kick

[sand ridge]

Ty

[vagrant ledge]

What are you trying to drag and how much weight do you have?

[lavish stone]

anyone knows why i cant update to v26.15 for server?

[dreamy venture]

Also for ASA is everyone getting by with 128gb hosting machines? Or what CPUs are you guys using currently or to achieve the 192gb+?
Seems like ASA is still going to be a ram hog and require hefty amounts to be able to cluster maps together especially if Gen1/2 maps use even more like in ASE.

[wise kindle]

The update is not available outside official servers atm

[lavish stone]

aah thanks!

[bronze bronze]

most likely for good reason

[native wave]

I upped the ram in my server to 384GB just because of all the servers I run (and it was cheap to do so). The thing I wonder about is the cpu requirements of the maps....my server already struggles running Gen 2...wondering what the new version will perform like. If it requires a higher end cpu for the pure speed single core....then what I have may not be enough to run them smoothly. Already had to offload my space engineers server for that reason.

I have dual xeon E5-2697 v2 in my server. Its a server i picked up from a local electronics recyler. It has run everything but space engineers and Gen 2 fine so far. Gen2 on ASE is playable...but I do notice lag on it that I don't get on other maps in my cluster.

[dreamy venture]

Have you tried it for hosting on the new ASA? I’ve got the E5-2690s atm for my hosting system and it’s just running meh. Right now. Laggy for hosting ASA island but for the old ASE it was fine.

[bronze bronze]

Yeah gen2 liked faster singlecore stuff

i went from something similar thunder to a 12900ks and the difference was insane

[native wave]

It is running ASA fine right now

No noticeable lag

[dreamy venture]

Fuck I have to have a setting messed up or something. Our Dino’s pathing is wild right now and just like clipping around laggy haha 😂 players are fine but Dino’s are weird right now.

[native wave]

2690 32nm vs 2697 22nm on the xeons...might make a difference

Faster clock speed though

[dreamy venture]

Do you have ASA on autocore use or how do you setup specific cores for this new one?
Or any programs to utilize the boost/turbo on the E5s

[native wave]

After messing with that early, I just let the cpu handle it and leave both memory and cpu open with no specific assignments

I use pterodactyl to host my servers. It gets a chunk of memory and a block of cores assigned....but after that no assignments

[celest halo]

i get slow frame messages running ASA on my duel E5-2670 server

[native wave]

I get those too...but again, not really noticed any lag

[celest halo]

yeah i dont notice any lag either

[dreamy venture]

How many people playing?

[native wave]

Max 4 right now

[dreamy venture]

If we have 10 it’s fine.
But we have 40+ and it gets bad haha 😂

[native wave]

Yeah....different scale

[celest halo]

only have 2 on mine, and normally 2 on the minecraft server thats on the same box

[native wave]

I just have a server for me and my friends....nothing serious

If I had more I'd probably run into similar issues

[celest halo]

same, my ASA vm i only gave 32gb of ram too

[dreamy venture]

Yeah that’s what we bought ours for but it turned into a whole community 😂

[celest halo]

and it only has 8 cores set to it

[dreamy venture]

How do you set specific cores for ASA?

[celest halo]

i run esxi on my box, so the windows vm i have asa on is set to 8 cores

[dreamy venture]

Ahhh like a VM

[celest halo]

my ASE vms i had on linux with 2 cores and 12gb of ram lmao

[native wave]

mine is also a vm, but also containers. Proxmox hosts several Ubuntu vm's for various purposes, and I use docker on all of them including the one hosting pterodactyl

[celest halo]

all my vms are minimal ubuntu servers, besides the one win10 vm that has ASA on it

if they release linux binaries ASA will get moved off windows and will be deleting that vm lmao

[elder widget]

why dont my beds work? I keep spawning on the beach

[native wave]

yeah my ASA server is only running on pterodactyl because of an ASA egg made using proton to emulate windows

[dreamy venture]

Wonder if I should look into using a VM to try and dedicate cores etc. for my map to see if it runs better.

It’s running at 2.9ghz
But can boost to 3.8ghz.
Just never gotten it to boost idk how with the E5 haha 😂

Not sure if setting it to specifically 2 cores if it’d try to boost with the load on it.

[celest halo]

my windows vm dont show mine boosting either

[dreamy venture]

Wish I could figure out how 😭

[celest halo]

what i have read about esxi i have it set to where it should boost, but servers dont like to boost normally

normally under a full heavy load they running to warm to boost

[dreamy venture]

Is esxi easy to setup?

[celest halo]

i had no problem with it, but i used to running linux

proxmox might be easier, never looked much into it though

[dreamy venture]

I’m at work but when I’m home tomorrow morning I’ll look into these 👌

[humble thicket]

[ruby cairn]

hey all, friend is hosting a non dedicated server but no matter what settings they mess with it i can't find it so not sure if there's some type of work around for now or if it has to be fixed

if this is the wrong channel for those types of questions sorry lol

[balmy vortex]

Anybody here who can help with a technical issue on a dedicated server or who can point me in the right direction? I had a brown out, now server keeps crashing on startup, trying to dig into crash reports but struggling, any help is greatly appreciated.

[peak sapphire]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a list of the new ini configs introduced with ASA?

[bleak ivy]

the wiki is slowly updating its pages.

[torpid spear]

is there a list with the indevidual dino changes?

[bleak ivy]

the wiki is slowly updating its pages but oviraptor and dung bettle got big buffs.

[gleaming whale]

Has anyone figured out how to run multiple ASA servers off of same pc

[bleak ivy]

should be able to do it like normal now they removed that account limit thing

[torpid spear]

is there a link though?

[peak sapphire]

The wiki doesn’t even contain all the ini configs for ASE lol. I’ve seen lists of tons of posted configs in this chat that are no where to be seen on the wiki for ASE. Don’t get me wrong it’s been helpful and I’ve pulled most of my info from there for my ASE cluster but trawling the internet for stuff takes a while ha.

[bleak ivy]

make sure you are using the new wiki https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration I haven't seen anything missing (except the imprint amount which is there now)

[bleak ivy]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/ARK_Wiki

[gleaming whale]

you sure ? whenever i join the new server it connects to the original one

[outer hazel]

has anyone had an issue when setting up their own dedicated server where you cant access it whatsoever? I have all ports opened in the firewall and port forwarded, still cant access it

[bleak ivy]

might be a problem with ports. might need to wait until transfers are actually released for it to work properly

[gleaming whale]

others have got it working just tryna figure it out though, a bit weird

[bleak ivy]

I've had settings get ignored before

[gleaming whale]

what do you mean by that

[bleak ivy]

mutton stacking was being ignored since launch then one day it started working with no changes to my ini and no updates between my last restart.
