Note: Steam dedicated server supports only PC and ALL options.

[bleak ivy]

you can do the cheat saveworld command before leaving and it should save. its pretty common on playstation for that to happen.

[placid garden]

Im kinda new so i dont know how to do that

[bleak ivy]

you do that, then type in cheat saveworld in the box that shows up above the pause menu ingame.

[placid garden]

Is there a video on yt maybe?

Ok ill try now

[placid garden]

Ok i text you because im stuck

[bleak ivy]

now press the button to the right

[placid garden]

I sent you a picture

[bleak ivy]

doesn't say anything or even tell you it saved 🤷

[placid garden]

Ok thanks man I appreciate

I hope it work for long time use ima just sit afk for 10 mins because thats when i normally get blue screen 🙏🏼🎄🎄

[placid garden]

Bit i did blue screen like i said when i pressed save and exit

[placid garden]

Thank you it worked i love you (no homo )

[calm chasm]

Anyone here using the Super Spyglass Plus mod? I'm setting up a server and can't friggin find the gus.ini file

[charred dagger]

Anyone know how to decrease mating cooldown?

[calm chasm]

Singleplayer? ASM? hosted?

[charred dagger]

uh private hosted

like what am i looking for in the config

[calm chasm]

Your host should have a section to edit game settings. try searching tame or interval

[silver jasper]

Is there a way to change the drops on my private server? There are only white, green, and blue drops

[charred dagger]

I have access to the config files. just dont know what Im looking for. I used a pre-made set up. Id like to reduce it down like like 1 hr. vs its current 8 hrs

"MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.300000012"

is it this?

[calm chasm]

yes. I believe 1.0 is default, so if you wanted to 1/8 it like you mentioned, set it to 0.125. Also, mating speed = how long it takes dinos to mate

[charred dagger]

The time it takes is fine, I want the reduce the cooldown after so I can keep pumping out babies

[calm chasm]

just taming interval then

[charred dagger]

No that would be how fast the knockout to tame is no?

I need the mating cooldown

Females can only lay an egg or give birth once every 8 hr or so. I wanna make that like every hour

[normal sundial]

Can anyone tell me:
My son has Xbox Game Pass, XBOX Series X
I have Steam PC version of Ark: Survival evolved regular
How can we play on LAN without a dedicated server (tethered)?
I can't find him and he can't find me.
Is there a way to invite him or something?

[olive talon]

You cannot crossplay Steam and Xbox/PS for Ark Survival Evolved.

[normal sundial]

Thank you. Bummer.

[olive talon]

You both would need to purchase Ark Survival Ascended to play with those platforms.

[normal sundial]

Ah but can I simply download it via Microsoft Store on my PC then play vs him?

[wild creek]

Will the skins for the Turkey Trial event stay after it ends? since the event is now going to be a mod, does that mean the skins collected during the event will disappear when the mod gets removed?

[olive talon]

ASA is not on Gamepass. You would both need to own ASA to play.

[normal sundial]

No I mean ASE...we can't afford the ASA

[olive talon]

If ASE is still on Gamepass, then yes, you can download it through the Microsoft store and play together.

[normal sundial]

super-helpful! thanks!

[zenith bloom]

Anyone know if there’s a way to pickup grown plant x plants to place them as turrets like we could in ASE?

[cosmic island]

Ok so I have my old ps4 running a player dedicated server on an alt account with my aunts internet from next door.
although that account is using the same Playstation subscription as my main.

The first time I put the server up a random joined, the next few times I put it up it wouldn't show up for my ps5 main acc, after I restarted console it showed up, but now it just keeps saying "could not receive address"
I'm using my own internet for my main scc on ps5 tho

I've tried looking at different posts online and NOTHING is working, like wtf is going on?!

Please help! 🙏

Do I need to use same internet for both ps4 alt and ps5 main accs?

[fierce mortar]

ok so where is the setting or ini code to increase tribe tame limit

[cosmic island]

You talking to me?

I have tribe limit at 5 man

[fierce mortar]

nope wa asking a question my tribe is fairly big and a 250 limit is not enough

[celest halo]

MaxPersonalTamedDinos= in GUS

[fierce mortar]

assuming its not in there by default as i cant find it

[celest halo]

most settings are not in the ini files by default, when they using the default value

[fierce mortar]

kk was just checking sometimes the font is a pain to read didnt want to double up a setting

next question i want to increase the amount of rhynio that spawn without it going crazy and with out causing other dino to increase as well

[silver jasper]

Is there a way to change the drops on my private server? There are only white, green, and blue drops

[hallow hill]

Can anyone help? I can't seem to get rid of the tool/item description via the tooltip icon.

[prisma solar]

Any one having problems saving their game on single player? I lose hours of progress whenever I leave my session

[fluid swan]

I have had no issues so far in SP. I've only played about 6 hours but no progress losses or crashes. I did have it reset my settings to default after my first log off, but once I changed them again its stayed the same each time.

[prisma solar]

This wasn’t much of an issue starting out but once you get into the mid game, the game rolls back hours and all your progress is lost at certain times. Saving the game does not fix this

[fluid swan]

I'm not sure the answer to your question, but a potential work around would be to increase the loot quality of the drops to get better gear from lower beacons.

[fluid swan]

Dang that sounds bad. Well hopefully they can get a fix for that then. I don't get to play a lot so it'll take me a while to get there but hopefully they fix it soon.

[prisma solar]

Same here I don’t get to play as much but when I do my entire day of progress is gone so I end up wasting my time

[silver jasper]

Yeah I’m not sure either tbh I’ve searched up on YouTube and on google and nothing pops up about this issue

[austere rune]

anyone know how to roll back a server? simply using one of the backup ark files doesn't seem to be enough... i get an error about the sql file being corrupt

[cloud dagger]

If im on pc how do I invite xbox friends to my non dedicated game

[hallow hill]

Anyone know how to disable the item description text?

[austere rune]

there is a button above the inventory called Show Tooltips, click it

[hallow hill]

I have it only disable crafting resources needed.

[gusty jackal]

My computer needed to be fixed and wiped. Onedrive says it backed up everything and I logged into the same steam account yet when I went onto ark it wants me to create a new avatar and my progress is gone. I need that back asap I have spent over 200 hours on here and been waiting 3 weeks to do something specific

[empty crown]

[low dew]

@cloud dagger alot of people are reporting non dedicateds not working proporly for cross play

[ivory slate]

I don't think the snow owl works for xbox . I havent seen one and the admin command downs work either

[compact goblet]

can anyone help me setup a dynamic config file for my nitrado server. I want to have the same rates as official and not update them manually every time theres an event

[hard yarrow]

Hello everyone does anyone know if the r.VolumetricFog= 0 r.Volumetriccloud= 0 commands can be added to the game.ini or GameUserSettings.ini ? Thanks

[wanton shore]

Why won’t my server start up after adding in some commands? It says it’s restarting and that’s all it does

[shrewd slate]

So I am attempting to figure out the needed numbers to have mating, egg hatching and maturation all be an hour each (3 in total) but am struggling hard. Whenever we change states it either goes super in egg incubation or wants care; 7 hours worth and we’re super confused on what we’ve done wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[peak sapphire]

For Nitrado server specific issues either submit a ticket or visit their discord. There’s channels dedicated to Ark and ASA on there.

[rich cloak]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

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

[peak sapphire]

You must be tired of that by now 😅

[rich cloak]

even more tired of answering the same questions over and over because people do not search

I want to play my games

[peak sapphire]

Play your game. You can pass the torch over

[rich cloak]

Right, but it would be nice if people would research a bit, right?

[shrewd slate]

There’s 3 of us who have been looking at and reading over the two aforementioned resources provided for the past couple of days as we’ve experimented and tried altering stats to meet our goals. I appreciate the reiteration but I am seeking guidance as no matter our values at the moment, our egg incubation is locked at 3 hours and our maturation, now 2-3 days when it was about 3-4 hours before.

Thank you for the pointed assistance.

[rich cloak]

Not all things are working yet in ASA

In my game.ini and they all work just dandy

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=100
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.010416667
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=25
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=2
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplie=50

[shrewd slate]

Thank you for sharing

[rich cloak]

I run a PC Only Dedicated, so your results can be vastly different

[fierce mortar]

whats the time between imprints on that like? i use 0.0232 and its about 11 mins

[rich cloak]

1 imprint to 100% after 5 mins

[fierce mortar]

now if i can just figure out how to safely increase the amount of rhynio spawning without 30 bug swarms happening

[shrewd slate]

Ah I see. Gotcha. Okay. That’s really boosted for us but this is a great start. We’re going to start on these numbers and dial it back. Thank you very much.

Really appreciate the help.

[trim wadi]

lol random noob admin fun tests, but you can use chatgpt to generate the ini configs for supplydrop overrides as well as dino spawnentries etc

[whole stratus]

Hey, does anyone know why I can't make a deinosuchus saddle? It's like it's not in the game idk what to do

[stoic pendant]

any idea how to fix the empty mod list problem? cant join any unofficial but others can apparently

[bronze bronze]

ok so OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_ItemName", EngramHidden=true) is this how you're meant to hide engrams you don't want on the server?

[shrewd slate]

Does restoring previous configuration files affect the current progress of the game?

[vagrant ledge]

Nothing you can do the mod broke, just goto wait for a fix

[whole stratus]

ok thank you

[vagrant ledge]

Shouldnt effect it no, dont think there is a setting that can break it, nothing I can remember now atleast

[bronze bronze]

do the PCONLY command line stuff and it reverts it to the non broken version

[vagrant ledge]

Looks about right what I can see

[vagrant ledge]

Ohh yeah forgot you can do that

[whole stratus]

how

im a bot lmao

[low dew]

the official creature mods from wildcard dont seem to be getting regular updates i have noticed those mods specifically causing problems @whole stratus

@stoic pendant what do you mean a empty mod list?

[stoic pendant]

@low dew i go into browse mods and nothing comes up, apparently happened to many people before when curseforge was down but now its only me

[low dew]

you on pc ? is this for your server ?

[vagrant ledge]

They are not from wildcard, its a guy named garuga thats made them, they just broke when they enabled crossplay. Some of them have goten an update already but he is working on alot of mods atm so.might not push put an update right away when something breaks

[stoic pendant]

yes steam dont have a server but cannot join any unofficial modded

[low dew]

@vagrant ledge they were the first mods to launch with the game and were showcased in the trailers so i assume hes a paid modder from wildcard

@stoic pendant i cant help you with anything related to your client as this is the unofficial server setup help

i couldent tell you why your client cant see the mod browser

[vagrant ledge]

That could be true

[low dew]

and since launch they been slowly breaking one by one

[vagrant ledge]

Try validating or reinstalling the game

[low dew]

ive already had to remove half of them

[bronze bronze]

hes on vacation with his family, he had released fixes and then console update happened and yeah broke more lol

[stoic pendant]

@vagrant ledge thanks, already did to no avail

[bronze bronze]

-ServerPlatform=PC -pconlymods

[low dew]

there good mods to one of the mods was actually crashing the server with a skeletal mesh error

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah kinda did the same, only got 3 of them on my server atm

[low dew]

well im glad it wasnt just me lol

[bronze bronze]

its the elephant and eel looking one still causing issues

rest are fine

[vagrant ledge]

And the croc, I removed it to skip the reedownload each time you join

[bronze bronze]

running -ServerPlatform=PC -pconlymods fixes that issue

[vagrant ledge]

Well we got an xbox player now so cant

[bronze bronze]

oh rip

[vagrant ledge]

Will just wait for it to be fixed

[bronze bronze]

have to wait for garg to get back from family vacation

[low dew]

gater to

i got my first xbox player the other day

felt like i unlocked an achievement

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah I dont mind waiting, not really breaking anything right now

[low dew]

most of the mods dont state there crossplay compat unless the moder adds it so hard to test stuff unless you got a console player playing

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah I didnt know crossplay was on at default first so got surprised when I noticed it was an xbox player.

[low dew]

lol same

[bronze bronze]

the croc is more of a curse issue then it is the dev

[low dew]

i kinda am starting to miss the old workshop but curseforge opens up ability to cross play with mods pros and cons

[vagrant ledge]

Well you can have mods that is not crossplay yet, its just that xbxo player wont be able to interact with the mod if the is anything to interact with

[low dew]

yeah my shop mod he was wondering about im like just hit f1 hes like where is f1 on the controler

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah I got wbui and it has controller support but not crossplay yet so he cant use it, but then you have mods like cutom dino level that seems to be server mods so they will stil work even if its not crossplay

[low dew]

custom dino levels you can set the difficulty without mods

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah but you mostly use that mod to make the levels more even, without it you get alot more low lvls

[low dew]

yeah its a range adds to the easter egg hunt

but if your wiping wild dinos every server restart its a non issue typically

[vagrant ledge]

We had some real issues finding anything over 100 the first week before we added it

[low dew]

cant say ive had any issues my self if your not seeing high levels settings could be wrong

i hate mods

[vagrant ledge]

Well its working now for us atleast and yeah I get you the less mods the better

[low dew]

there is one mod i really want to make a return

castles and keeps

[vagrant ledge]

Cant argue with that

[whole stratus]

Hey guys my server keeps restarting does anyone know how I fix it?

[mental jolt]

Anyone know how to remove the stealybirds on a Nitrado server? (XBox) Acendent

[low dew]

@whole stratus when did it start doing this

@mental jolttheres a mod that does it

[whole stratus]

Like pretty much 20 minutes ago Just keeps restart and over and over

[low dew]

@whole stratus20 mins ago did you add any mods

[whole stratus]

Nah

[mental jolt]

Should be easy enough code to add to? Insted of a mod

[low dew]

@mental jolt i personally dont know how to remove dinos from the spawn table you might have to look to google for a guide

@whole stratus are you sure ? plus nitrado is nortorious for restart loops so it might not even be you could be just there garbage servers

did you change anything at the restart of your server

[vagrant ledge]

Did you restart it yourself first or did it crash? Could be a simple corrupt tribe file

[low dew]

oh i suppose theres that to XD

[vagrant ledge]

If you wait maybe 30 min I can get you the code, sitting on the bus home so cant get it on my phone 🙂

[mental jolt]

Awsome 🙂

[whole stratus]

I was trying to disable single player downloads because I was having problems with people bringing in Admin guns from single player so I disabled them I restarted the server. Just started loop

[low dew]

post the settings you changed

[mental jolt]

Only found for the "old" game 🙈 Thanks for trying tho 🙂

[low dew]

its pretty much the same

[whole stratus]

1sec

[young minnow]

it works for asa too

90% of the codes from ASE work in ASA

[mental jolt]

No they dont 😥 i tryed. Atleast the one i found

[young minnow]

It worked for me

Which one did you use?

[low dew]

@mental jolt you may have made a error in the code

[vagrant ledge]

And where did you put it?

[mental jolt]

Game.ini

[whole stratus]

PreventDownloadItems=true

[mental jolt]

Copy and pasted it so should be corect. Ill post it here in a sec

[low dew]

@whole stratus ya that shouldent of caused a loop

[mental jolt]

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

[young minnow]

thats where mine is and it works with no issue

[low dew]

i thought you had to specify the 2 class name

guess not

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah I would check you tribe files now

[low dew]

@whole stratus what you can do to determine if its your save if download your current world then restore a back up and see if it still does a restart loop

[mental jolt]

I might be wrong but mine seems to be the same? 🤔

[young minnow]

You did a dino wipe after right?

[mental jolt]

Yes

[young minnow]

Werid

[mental jolt]

A couple just to be sure

[whole stratus]

I think it's working now. The server is up. I'm just having a normal connection error problem now lol. thanks guys for helping

[low dew]

welcome to owning a nitrado server XD

[vagrant ledge]

Did you stop the server first before you added the dino block or did you add it first then restart?

[low dew]

lol hot configing i missed that with conan

wish ark had that option

[young minnow]

Hot config?

[low dew]

yeah where you change the config settings while the server is running and apply it

[young minnow]

Ah, there was a mod for that in ASE

which it was in ASA

granted it only changed a few ones

[mental jolt]

Stoped it.. added.. restarted.. Dino wipe.

After that i did a couple more restarts and Dino wipes

[low dew]

@young minnow in conan you could change just about everything they had a really good admin gui

[vagrant ledge]

Aight hmm yeah then it should work

[mental jolt]

Gona try remove the code and put it in again. Just to se

[whole stratus]

It seems like I'm in for a lot. I'm only good at minecraft server I need to learn ark

[low dew]

its all nitrado is good for is minecraft server

[whole stratus]

I hosted minecraft servers off of home computers lol

[low dew]

i had a farm simulator server with them once and they couldent get that right even restart loop and there like oh ya sorry were having issues 20 days later never got fixed lol and i had to threaten them to get my money back

since then i use rack servers for my games way cheaper

[whole stratus]

Anyway you guys have a good night Im gonna go enjoy some ark Thanks for the help

or day

[low dew]

thats what i need to do play more ark and spend less time here

with you nerds

[whole stratus]

Yea

[low dew]

si

[silver jasper]

Is there a way to restart my non dedicated server without deleting all the progress (Xbox) I’m not sure how to fix the problem with the drops here so I’m thinking of just doing a refresh

[low dew]

it should be saving

[silver jasper]

Is there a way to do it in game I searched up on YouTube and they are all on an external website

[low dew]

non dedicated is hosting locally through the game

basically singleplayer

[silver jasper]

Yeah I’ve been looking around and I don’t see a reset thing

[low dew]

your looking to wipe your save ?

[silver jasper]

Nono

Like I’m only seeing white green and blue drops on my server and idk how to fix it so I’m trying to reset to see if that does it

[low dew]

if your running a non dedicated server as soon as you log out of the game and turn your game off it turns your server off

[silver jasper]

Yeah

[low dew]

that is basically reseting it

[silver jasper]

Oh ok

Well I’ve done that a lot of times and it didn’t fix the drops 😭

[low dew]

if your seeing drops then theres probably nothing wrong there random

if you dont see any drops at all thats a issue

[silver jasper]

It’s weird because I’ve gone around the map twice on a pt and it’s only white green and blue

[low dew]

i see alot of blues and greens and whites there most common

but i do get purples yellow and ocassionally reds

there a lil more uncommon

[silver jasper]

Does it have to do with the difficulty or the loot rate setting?

[low dew]

depends are you running vanilla or did your turn the difficulty way down

difficulty does affect loot in a way

[silver jasper]

I’m on maximum difficulty and the level is 1

[low dew]

ok you should be getting all the drops i run a lil higher difficulty not much higher though

[silver jasper]

Oh ok

Well ty I will pray and see if I get a purple drop or higher one day 😂

[low dew]

you could also join my server 😛

[silver jasper]

Well I’m doing a world with just me and my brother

[low dew]

ah well shot my shot

[silver jasper]

lol

[low dew]

im used to rejection

[silver jasper]

😭

[sterile osprey]

Pfft wow 😂

[humble thicket]

try changing ur loot qaulity setting like 2 and 3 is good for mastercraft and ascendent stuff

[silver jasper]

Alright I’ll try that thanks

[humble thicket]

and also turn of singleplayer settings makes the game easier

[silver jasper]

Oh yeah those are already off

[humble thicket]

well let me know i am using loot Qaulity 3 and i get red drops and yellow ones also cave drops have good loot

[silver jasper]

I’ll test it out in a little bit

[silver jasper]

Just switched the loot quality to three and I just found a yellow drop ty @humble thicket

[humble thicket]

np man glad i could help

[silver jasper]

🫡

[nimble talon]

Any word on fixing the weird skipping when walking over crafted floors?

[rich gulch]

I'm thinking of getting ark survival ascended private server from nitrado. Do I need to buy the dlc to play it on nitrado or can I just go it it and play it? I have 3 servers from nitrado official ark survival evolved.

[humble thicket]

ark ascended has no dlc yet

only island map the dlc's coming later

[rich gulch]

Ok thanks

[charred dagger]

So I am trying to decrease the Mating cooldown on females. I changed the Matingintervamultiplyer to 0.09, and it didnt do anything. ANy ideas?

[humble thicket]

did u put the coma int here ?

il send u the mating thing now

[humble thicket]

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.009199006

try that

[charred dagger]

that will change it to what?

[short lily]

Can anyone help i want my days to be 30/40mins and nights to be like 10/15mins long what setting do i need to put in nitrado for that to take effect?

[charred dagger]

I just dont wanna wait 8-14 irl hours for mating lol

[humble thicket]

makes it alot faster to mate

[charred dagger]

like 2-3 would be ideal.

[humble thicket]

change time of day speed day and night cycle

[humble thicket]

DayTimeSpeedScale=1.323674
NightTimeSpeedScale=1.369914 change these in gameusersettings to make day and night faster

[native oxide]

in nitrado, does raising values of mating / breeding etc decrease time or do i have to lower values to decrease time?

[humble thicket]

breeding high mating lower =faster

mating lower makes the time to breed next time alot lower for example if it 15 mins u gotta wait if u lower it its now 2

[low dew]

8 to 14 hours is nothing i think official is in days lol

[native oxide]

so making it for example 2 and then changing to 1 would decrease the time it takes instead of changing 2 to 3 ?

[short lily]

Thankyou

[humble thicket]

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.009199006 <lower =faster
MatingSpeedMultiplier=10.000000 <<<Higher =faster

[humble thicket]

np

[native oxide]

Just thought to ask but what would the decimal setting have to be for 2x speed

[charred dagger]

One is the time inbetween mating, and one is the actual time it takes to do the deed

[humble thicket]

for X2 MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.500000
MatingSpeedMultiplier=2.000000

would cut what it is now in half

[charred dagger]

So when i set up my server I had no idea what I was doing. I copied all of the ini from something I found online. Im pretty happy with the results. But I have this entirely other section called "[ShooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides]" Do I need all of these codes?

or when making changes do I need to change both sections?

[humble thicket]

tempoverride ?

[charred dagger]

idk lol its a copy of like the first 120 lines

I can DM you a picture

[humble thicket]

thats weird i dont have that in my inis lol

sure go ahead

[fading timber]

my mods dont seem to be updating when i reset my server is there something i can change

[fading timber]

it did that to me also and i just ignored them then they went away, i had duplicates of all settings

[low dew]

@fading timber yes you need to add a line to your commandline

-automanagedmods

[fading timber]

ahhhhhhhhhh tyy

[fading timber]

didnt work

confirmed that does not work for ASA

[low dew]

It's what's in my command line works as intended

[fading timber]

placebo it doenst work for ASA

[low dew]

I run a asa rack server lol so it does

[fading timber]

main mod devs

Pelayori — Today at 10:42 AM
that doesnt work in asa

and clearly is not working as i just added it to my BAT and reset server and mods are still out of date

[low dew]

I know there's a weird bug with curse forge cause mods not to update sometimes

[fading timber]

ok well maybe that's it but they say that command does not work so idk

[low dew]

Delete the files and re download them

[fading timber]

ya im not tryna be deleting entire mods folders everytime there is an update

[low dew]

No just the ones not updating

[fading timber]

ya i get that but either way it's not ideal, if im away from my PC it's more remote work to get in and delete folders

[low dew]

Well I offered all the advice I have

[fading timber]

thanks!

[rich cloak]

-automanagedmods is for Steam Only, and is an ASE command option

The biggest problem people are experiencing with ASA MODs right now started after Console release

[fading timber]

i just deleted the mod folders off server and it still haeppning lol

[rich cloak]

If you restrict the platforms, it seems to improve the MOD update issues

[robust kindle]

anyone having issues with mating interval/incubation speed/maturation speed stuck at default and not using the values in the game.ini?

[rich cloak]

Are you supporting Consoles?

[thorn pike]

is there a way to disable foundation support in asa

[fading timber]

ya

[pure bison]

I get a problem with the crocodile additional Dino MOD, everytime you join the server it updates it, even after 6 times

[rich cloak]

Ok, then as the Admin, you need keep a close eye on just what MODs fully support console, that is the only way to lessen the issue

[fading timber]

lol my mods do

[rich cloak]

At this time, there are soo many Updates being done to MODs, people will just have to live with a lot of updates, or restrict the platforms they support on thier server

[fading timber]

that is not my issue tho

[rich cloak]

I thought people were having MOD update issues

[fading timber]

yes but not because of the mods being update or not supporting crossplay lol

the game is not properly updating anything as i have deleted the mods folders off my server and theyre not updating

[rich cloak]

Running the server exe as Admin?

[fading timber]

should be

[rich cloak]

if you adjusted the properties of the EXE to run as admin, that can be lost when the EXE gets updated

[fading timber]

i mean admin or not deleting the entire mod folder should be working

[rich cloak]

maybe

[fading timber]

i dont see how maybe would be accurate, if the server doesnt have a mod it needs then it should download the newest version not an old one, it's missing the entire folder yet it is choosing to put old versions back in

[rich cloak]

That is an Issue as I said when supporting consoles, not optimal, but that is the deal

there is no good answer for it

[fading timber]

ok well what options are left because i took crossplay out and it still doing it

[rich cloak]

I support PC only, since I changed to that, my server and clients have zero MOD issues

[fading timber]

this was happening with AA mod before crossplay

[rich cloak]

I use this in my server start command -ServerPlatform=PC -pconlymods

[fading timber]

it been doign it since i put my server up a few days ago now it's 2 mods

[rich cloak]

Also, if you join the AA Discord, they had some issues there due to Crossplay updates

[fading timber]

im in there doesnt help lol

[rich cloak]

Ok, well battle on, the information I pased on solved the issues for me, good luck

[fading timber]

well again i took crossplay out and have it set to Steam and it still doing it

anyone else stuck when launching the Microsoft store version, it works for me on xbox, and the steam version also runs without an issue, but the MS version sits on the launch with a spinner saying "Signing In", any ideas?

[silver jasper]

Is the gestation period and the egg incubation time for Dino’s the same setting?

[calm chasm]

I meant mating interval, not taming interval. You found the setting. That's the one

[calm chasm]

nope

[silver jasper]

Oh what is the setting for gestation

I only see the egg one

[rich cloak]

MatingIntervalMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A higher value increases the time between which dinosaurs can mate (Value = 0.5 would half the interval)

MatingSpeedMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A higher value increases the speed at which dinosaurs mate.

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A higher value decreases the time required for an egg to hatch.

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A higher value decreases the time needed for a dino to mature.

BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A lower value decreases the speed that a baby dino eats its food.

TamingSpeedMultiplier    1.0    GameUserSettings.ini    A higher value makes the dinosaurs tame faster.

[calm chasm]

Mating interval = time between when they bred and when they can next breed
Mating speed = how long it takes for them to finish getting it on

Has anyone found a good way to query a players character name based off the steam/xbox username or EOS guid? I used to see that in the "listplayers" command but that seems to have been taken out

[cinder hare]

Thank you!

[rich cloak]

ASA does not use Steam64 IDs, at all, when the char/player is logged in , use "cheat ListPlayers" or it will also appear on the servers console

on the console it will appear as IP for incoming account < EOS ID String > - IP 192.168.1.71

I am going to assume it will also be in a Log, and a person can also use the cheat ShowMyAdminManager tool

[crystal anchor]

i cant figure out why none of our babies on our server are getting any imprints. i have a crossplay and i just cant figure it out

[charred dagger]

Using a nitrado server is there a way to chat or send a message to players online while I am not?

[rich cloak]

Use an RConsole app, but I am not sure just what chat options are working at this time for RConsole

[tardy pine]

Listplayers gives me the actual steam or Xbox username/gamertag, and the Epic Online Services ID, not the character names though. Say I join my server and named my toon "Human", listplayers will show me "moondoggie <EOS GUID>", not the character name at all. It did used to though before the xbox release

[rich cloak]

Many things are not fully implemented yet /shrug

[crystal anchor]

i have gone through my ini settings and everything and cant figure out where i went wrong. imprints seem like they are disabled or something. never had this issue on ase but cant figure it out on asa any ideas?

[tardy pine]

The names are in the arkprofile files, you wouldn't happen to know how to parse those files would you?

[tardy pine]

What's in your game.ini file?

@tardy pinenop, doesnt work

[rich cloak]

"0x00007ff" is a memory read access error and "dd7426b1" is likely the location, all information points to corrupted or bad Operating System file, and/or malicious software.

Could also be a corrupted/bad registry line

Run a "Run SFC & DISM scan" and Scan for Malware

[tardy pine]

BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier
according to the wiki

Scales how fast Imprinting Quality decreases after the grace period if you haven't yet cuddled with the Baby.

So you are rolling back any imprint you give it. Try setting that one to 0 and add this in
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=4
Also set this BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier back to 1 because .001 is taking away all your grace period and rolling it all back

[crystal anchor]

ahhh thanks! ill try that,its been a bit since ive messed with breeding stats haha fingers crossed

[heady fjord]

Anyone know how to remove the fog and clouds from the server?

[rich cloak]

The only server config for Fog is only for weather based fog

also "-nomansky" is not confirmed as working on ASA

[heady fjord]

Thanks. I just wish there was a server command to remove the stupid clouds from on the mountains

[rich cloak]

there is a console command that affects the UE5 engine you can run each time you log on

[heady fjord]

I’m using controller and haven’t been able to open the console command menu

[rich cloak]

Look here >> https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#Opening_the_console

[heady fjord]

Yeah, that worked back on A:se but doesn’t seem to work on A:sa. I even enable to console commands in the settings

[slate nexus]

Once you enable console commands it should be bottom left of the start menu

I think it’s just start>back to open it

Or you can hit the back tick (`) if you have a keyboard

[heady fjord]

No keyboard (I’m on Xbox) but it really seems like wc is forcing console players to get the mnk

[slate nexus]

You can 100% open it without

start>back should open it if you have console commands turned on in your personal settings

Is there anyway to make more higher lvl Dino’s spawn? Like we have it set up to spawn lvl 150 max but we feel like we’re rarely seeing any on island

[vagrant ledge]

The Custom dino level mod

[scarlet lichen]

maybe this helps somebody else maybe not. When the certs updated on 11/18, I removed the old ones and installed new ones and server woulnd't show up. I removed the new certs that were installed, restarted server and it shows up. I am running windows 10 vm and originally the old certs were needed for server to show up. now it looks like they are NOT needed at all. 🙂

[lapis lark]

Is that the only way? We were trying to avoid the mods if possible

We didn’t want it to be to op

[solemn zephyr]

Vanquished

[vagrant ledge]

Think there is another way but not sure myself how to do it, the mod is really simple, it just makes it more even on the levels

[bleak ivy]

you can set it to rag levels instead of just "more high levels" so its the same as the free maps of ASE

[lapis lark]

Thank you🙏

[vagrant ledge]

I can give you the ini setting I use, I have it set to Rag levels

[native oxide]

can i just put a ModID not within nitrado and it will install?

[vagrant ledge]

Sent you a dm

[bleak ivy]

if you are on console singleplayer/non-dedi then you can't change its default so it will be equalized levels. thats until the mod for config editing ingame is made (the author said they are working on it)

[shrewd slate]

Type in “enablecheats <admin password>” to be able to use commands on console.

Question after doing this. Is there a way to Cluster the servers?

[heady fjord]

Found it. Thanks

[rich cloak]

ASA can NOT be clustered at this time

[austere rune]

cluster features are not fully implemented. don't cluster and don't fight the volcano ascensoin boss.

[cinder hare]

darn ok :/

[vagrant ledge]

the overseer is not working?

[austere rune]

you get uploaded to a nonfunctioning upload system 😄

so uh... on my own server, i just added a couple mods, then restarted the server, logged back in, and entered the game as a survivor with all my cryo'd dinos in my inventory, none of my tools or armor, and my main character asleep on the floor of my base... anyone know how to fix that? lol

[vagrant ledge]

Can this be an issues cause by PreventDownloadSurvivors=True maybe?

[austere rune]

no, we have that explicitly set to false on ours

[vagrant ledge]

ahh well thats a sad problem..

[cinder hare]

Something is editing my gameini file. The .bat file reads exactly what I've written. However, something is changing the gameini back to something that it shouldn't be when I go back to look at the notepad. Any idea what is changing the file?

[vagrant ledge]

are you closing the server down before editing it?

[cinder hare]

Yes

[vagrant ledge]

So it revert the changes when you start the server?

[cinder hare]

Correct; the .bat file stays the same in how its written. But the game ini is being changed. The server is called INGEN Case File Redacted in the .bat and we also have it changed in the game ini but when we start the server the server comes up as INGEN and the game ini. And it seems to be reading old ini files. Like we changed it to IEN to test it and it reads it as IEN when the server starts but that is the second change we've made and not what it should say now. A bit confusing but hopefully that makes sense.

Im combing through to make sure the changes are as they should be :/ just something somewhere is changing the gameini even if we change it to what it should be, it keeps changing it back

[soft peak]

anyone have any idea why I cant use "show InstancedGrass" ?

[distant heart]

Does wild Dino level effect boss hp say lol 300 wilds would it increase boss hp

[rich cloak]

Do you know what is being changed?

The server exe will change things that are not supported to what ever the default is in many cases

[cinder hare]

The server name and the admin password is being changed. Now it seems to be putting double ports/query ports in the file as well. But we have the server name worked out.

[vagrant ledge]

do you have the same name, password in both the bat file and ini?

[cinder hare]

yes but the ini keeps getting changed even after we change it and save it

[vagrant ledge]

are you changing the bat file or the ini? or both

[rich cloak]

Command line will over ride and change the INI to match is how it should be working

[cinder hare]

Well everything is right in the .bat file so it doesn't get changed; its exactly how we want it.The ini file is what's changing. We set it to exactly what the .bat file says the admin password and server name should be. But it keeps reverting back to something else.

But the .bat file doesn't change.

its only the ini thats messing up.

[rich cloak]

Check the execution path in the BAT, you should using a seperate path for each server instance

[forest tusk]

Have there been any issues with port forwarding Ark survival ascended servers? I have some networking experience, and I'm pretty sure i'm doing nothing wrong. Here is some info:

• ASA Server hosted at port 7777 & 27015
• The local ip from the server device is 192.168.42.115
• I can connect from another pc on the same network. This also shows in wireshark that traffic is going towards and through localip:7777. So nothing wrong with the device the server is running on (windows firewall etc.)
• On the other pc on the same network, steam is unable to find the server (again, i am able to join via ASA). This is in the steam -> view -> gameservers option. I tried localip:7777, localip:27015, publicip:7777, publicip 27015, nothing can be found (by steam).
• In my modem, I have forwarded all the important ports, 7777 and 27015, UDP and TCP.
• My modem tells me no port forwarding rules are used by the device (basically saying no servers are running on port 7777 or 27015).
• If I close the ASA server and try to run a NodeJS server on 7777 or 27015. Everything works, it can be accessed from outside the network and any online port forwarding checker tells me that the ports are indeed opened (not the case with ASA).

Does anyone have any info or suggestions for me? I am completely stuck. Any help is appreciated!🙌

(Server is on version 31.37 btw)

[celest halo]

ASA does not use steam network so it wont show in the steam server list

[forest tusk]

Well, that solves one mystery haha

[rich cloak]

What is the Server OS?

[celest halo]

and most online port checkers only check TCP, ASA uses UDP

[forest tusk]

Windows 11 (v 10.0.22631, should be pretty recent)

[forest tusk]

Omg you're kidding lol, that might be the problem then

The port forwarding checkers are lying to me :p

Still very weird my modem doesn't show any traffic though? Maybe it only shows if anything is actually connected hmm

Also, I read that QueryPort (27015) is not used by ASA servers. Is this confirmed?

[forest tusk]

Oh my, I found a udp checker, that says it's opened

[celest halo]

not used that was steam query port (ASE used steam network, ASA uses epics)

[forest tusk]

Aah interesting, how come we still use the steamcmd / steam server stuff?

[celest halo]

game is on steam

games backend network is EOS

steamcmd is just a command line only version of steam

it does pretty much everything the steam desktop app does, if you know the commands lol

[forest tusk]

Steam and epic services working together? What could go wrong :p

[forest tusk]

Owh really, I thought it was only for server hosting

[celest halo]

steam is just a store front when it comes to ASA lol

[forest tusk]

that's so cool tho

[celest halo]

thats what most people think, most people only use it for installing dedicated servers

[whole stratus]

Whenever I go to open my game. It tells me my card is out of video ram.. i have RX6700XT I have 12 GB. I would have thought that was enough. Why does the game hate a amd
so much

[forest tusk]

I have 4060 with 8 gb VRAM, works like a charm

[whole stratus]

I know it should be enough it was working last night

[forest tusk]

Are you on windows, try to hit the restart button in the windows menu while holding shift.

[whole stratus]

I also have 32 of DDR4, but it's trying to tell me that's not enough evil

And my gpu is getting very hot I think there might be some problem somewhere lol

I asked earlier but I don’t think I got a response. Is there not leashes on ark anymore?? I want my Dino’s to wander but not too far..

[severe pawn]

When you kill the alpha dragon, the server goes down, it didn't happen before. It has happened to us 2 times in a row. Someone else?¿

[wise kindle]

The dino leashes come out with their origin map. I think it’s Extinction.

I keep getting this error in Ark: Ascended: Shootergame Fatal Crash Errror, I'm playing on PC through Xbox, can someone help pleaseeeee? it's ruining the game for me 😦

[austere rune]

if you're playing on an unofficial server, ask the admins if they're running AsaApi. that's one culprit causing a lot of crashes with certain server-side plugins. also not all mods are crossplay ready.

[lament pier]

Will do, it seems to only happen when I'm navigating my inventory

[lament pier]

I just realized it is happening on official servers

Guys im trying to edit Engrams in the ini and the old code i had isnt working, is there a new place to put the OverrrideEngramEntries ??

[dry spire]

Alphas in 9074 are Hackers

Is there an ini setting to increase max character level? I'm so bad at coding - I'm sorry I ask a bunch of dumb questions

[torpid spear]

Use the beacon app. It makes editing the files very easy

[valid crest]

Is it a phone app? 🤣 I'm pretty much a 90 year old lady when it comes to technology

[rich cloak]

Increasing char level is not just a single setting, it involves the exp curve, and engram point gains etc, and each level requires 2 lines in the INI when you muck with that, definitly an advanced topic

Of course the 2 entries can also be 2 VERY long strings

[low dew]

@quaint hinge settings go in the Gus as far as I know not game in also the players one don't work as far as I know don't think that one even exists

[hallow hill]

Anyone have an issue with the game not saving.

Hoping for some kind of fix. I spent hours grinding 6 behemoth gats 300 dino gate and several hundred stone structures. Then saved and exited. Logged on today it all gone.

[fluid kiln]

Brother apparently if you 'destroywilddinos' then do the 'saveworld' command it saves it

just tried it on mine and saved for the first time in ages, unsure how reliable and long it will last though

[hallow hill]

@fluid kiln That's an odd method. I've done the world save command but not dino wipe then save.

Kinda dumb they have a save button which doesn't seem do work properly.

[fluid kiln]

I know is weird, saw someone mention it and gave it a go after building for 30 mins and worked, but as i said not sure how reliable it will be. Also if its single player not nondedicated the save button might work after doing the dino wipe but not sure. Read somewhere apparently the save doesnt work after your memory or something goes over a certain amount, might be waffle tho but hope the method i said works for ya

[hallow hill]

Why the dino wipe though. I'd rather not wipe if I don't need to. If it's necessary then I will.

[fluid kiln]

No idea mate, is a pain and you shouldnt have to do it but is the only work around ive found thats worked at least once

[hallow hill]

Maybe something to to with locking in the saveworld command. As in a solid world change for the save to work? I guess that's what I'll do. I just don't like dinowiping if I don't need to lol

[fluid kiln]

how come you don't like wild dino wiping? just curious is there a downside or is it just a pain?

[low dew]

should be wipding wild dinos every restart

alot of the dinos will glitch out

it also keeps the spawns fresh

[hallow hill]

Feel like it ruins the game imo. Also if you see a high level you want to tame but are unable to at that moment ya know

[low dew]

@quaint hinge did you figure out your resource respawn stuff i can tell ya nitrados guide is wrong

@hallow hill you can set it up to manually do it once in awhile then or just dont restart the server if your taming somthing high level

[hallow hill]

I'm on single player

[low dew]

ahh

[hallow hill]

My issue was the game not saving and losing another of progress

[low dew]

for you it wont matter to wipe dinos

[hallow hill]

The suggestion was to do a dino wipe then save world command

[low dew]

depends if your getting crashes

[sterile osprey]

I got a new issue where it looks like tamed dinos are being clones at 50 50

[low dew]

but you can try manual saving yes to see if that fixes it

[hallow hill]

I rarely crash

[low dew]

i donno what more i can help with i dont play single player

[hallow hill]

So I grinded 6 behemoth gates 300 dino gates and several hundred structures last night then saved and exited. When I logged on all that progress was lost even with that seemingly useless save button

[quaint hinge]

one of the nitrado mods changed up the list order in the Game.ini waiting for a good time to restart to check if it helped, i doubt the nitrado guide AND the ark wiki guide are both wrong tho

[low dew]

@quaint hinge i looked at my dedi gus and thats where those settings were and they are functioning not in the game.ini

check your dm

[dawn quarry]

Yo , where is the code to adjust the food drain while taming?

Or what’s the code. Is it on character one , no need to add it?

[violet tide]

Is there a way to increase the number of power generators allowed in a single area? Any more than 3 and there's an error of "Too many structure sof similar type nearby"

[dawn quarry]

There’s a code for it , gotta put max structure to 10 so you can add more. I think it help to a lot stuff because there’s the limit for the boat , if you change it you can keep adding maybe is the same for the power generator

[celest halo]

LimitGeneratorsNum= in game.ini

[violet tide]

I will give it a try, thanks

Awesome that worked thank you very much

[jagged basalt]

Setting it to 0 gives unlimited

[sterile osprey]

I got a new issue where it looks like tamed dinos are being cloned at 50 50

[robust pier]

i have a issue where we beat overseer but after downloading and going into the game and getting back to base i crashed i relogged and it prompts to make a new character

and this has happened to two people and my body is still at our respective bases

am unsure how to fix this

[olive sleet]

Are you on a server or Singleplayer/Non-Dedicated?

[robust pier]

dedicated unnoficial it's my server

[olive sleet]

In the Character Creation screen on the server, do you see "Respawn Existing Survivor" in the bottom left? I've been stumped by that a couple times

[robust pier]

i already spawned in just my body according to friends is still in my base just it promts to make new character

[robust pier]

might i DM you?

[olive sleet]

Yeah no problem!

[limber kraken]

Trying to get prime and honey to stack on nitrado. Both old methods of changing the code in expert mode are not working. Has anyone been able to figure this out yet. Trying to get it done without adding in extra mods.

[edgy moss]

Are unofficial dedicated servers able to do crossplay????

[hearty wedge]

Yes, and that's the default

[hallow hill]

Anyone else have an issue with there game not saving

[low dew]

@robust pier sounds like a corrupted character file

@hallow hill your server isnt saving?

[robust pier]

yeah i worked it out but i couldn't recover the file it seemed to just delete completely.

[low dew]

atlas was super bad for doing that database would corrupt characters

[hallow hill]

Oh that socks. So I have to restart then?

[bleak ivy]

heard somebody say if you dino wipe it can save, try that

[hallow hill]

I did try that nothing seems to work its not saving anything. @bleak ivy

[rocky parrot]

does anyone else have to have the deinosuchus mod redownloaded everytime you login to your server

[neon portal]

Anyone that knows a mod that brings a s+ gardener to ASA? Xd crop plots suck rofl

[carmine goblet]

@rocky parrot Yes and it's annonying as hell! :/

[rocky parrot]

ok was just making sure it wasnt just me lol

[wind pivot]

Heard that legendarsreign will bring super structures to asa

[neon portal]

Thx will keep an eye on it

[solar sleet]

okie dokie, does anyone know the settings for changing imprint to just having to do 2 or 3 imprints, and what setting that would be called, atm its only going up 2% every time. also, anyone know if theres a setting for structure collisons? like merging things cus atm you cannot do that

on asa

[torpid spear]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplyer
mine is set to 5 so about 3 or 4 for you

bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=True

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration is a good resource

[solar sleet]

and they both go in game ini?

[torpid spear]

yes both do

[solar sleet]

thank you

[torpid spear]

rule of thumb, multiplier means the higher the number the sorter or faster things go, Interval the lower the number the less things are needed etc

[solar sleet]

thank you, that's helpful

[frosty dawn]

ok so question.. have a private server.. whenever i put points into tames stats, they seem to go up how I would expect.. except melee. Melee only goes up 1 or two points.. is this the new normal or some sort of setting?

[broken willow]

Anyone know if it's possible to make it so every player in my server can use the command "cheat saveworld" without also giving them all admin? Seems to be the only way around nitrado being too dumb to run the save command during server restarts

[brazen tusk]

There's a mod for that.

[vagrant ledge]

Seems normal, you get alot lower point into melee to balance it out, if you got the same as health for example your dino would one shot pretty much everything

[frosty dawn]

mmm but i've played alot of official and private servers with official settings. Then the only tames that I rememeber leveling that slow before were giggas. Now everything is doing it. Theras.. thylos.. rexes... megas.. everything is only going up like 1-2 points.. I remember before 1 level point in melee would raise the stat maybe 5-10 depending on the tame

[frigid vine]

Not possible. But you can use rcon and cronjobs.

[bleak ivy]

it depends on how high the stat is already, low levels get small growth as tamed levels are % based

[solemn cradle]

hey, is it currently possible to change maps on the nitrado server for ascended? me and my mates want to play on Svartalfheim but im not sure how to change the map as its more complicated than ase

[low dew]

i pay 80 to host up to 4 ark servers at the same time

[queen zinc]

My server on Nitrado edges towards 20gbs of used ram and thats playing solo. Who would order a 12gb server for Ark? It would run out of memory and just crash. I don't understand their pricing model. Some people here are using upwards of 50+ with higher player counts.

[ruby merlin]

90 a month seems steep

[peak sapphire]

Mine averages on 14gb with 5 players so far, why is yours so high as a solo?

[queen zinc]

Mods.

[peak sapphire]

Gotcha

[low dew]

@queen zinc thats your problem right there nitrado

[queen zinc]

Right? Should of went single player.

[peak sapphire]

Pretty sure you can transfer your save files over so it may still be an option

[low dew]

not sure if singleplayer saves are compatible

[peak sapphire]

Oof

[low dew]

but i dont know anything about singleplayer

[peak sapphire]

So you’re paying 80 per month for 4 servers, is that 20 per server or a minimum of 80 that nets you 4 servers?

[low dew]

for 70 slots and 16 gb of ram each

i can also run discord bots other servers other games ect ect its a rack server

[peak sapphire]

I mean is there a minimum spend amount. I’m considering renting hardware at a later date but I’m happy with the single server at the moment.

[low dew]

that is the minimum

after that it goes up from there if you want bigger rack servers

im planning to cluster 7 arks

[frosty dawn]

is there a way I can find the exact official .ini settings? I'm having drama getting our levels for melee and health levels right.

trying to get that right before boosing anything.. it's been frustrating. It's gone weird since we edited single player to faulse

[wooden cedar]

Anyone know how to tweak Rhynio cravings interval? Atm Rhynio will "hatch" in 9mins and cravings are like 2min intervals so can't get 5 cravings.

[peak sapphire]

Scroll through the following page: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration Most values for official will be listed in the ini description, and further down the page towards the bottom, it will give the default player and dino stats - the values aren’t all set at 1.0.

[humble thicket]

think imprint scale

there are several settings i could send u that deal with imprints

[lime crest]

since the PC patch I cant see the server I play on even if I Search it. My mate is on it , any ideas?

[merry thorn]

Try reducing your incubation multiplier. That's also gestation.

[near snow]

Just set your single player game to hard and it should be almost like official server then just export the .ini to the server. Thats what i did.

[lime crest]

If I got Ark on the xbox app, could I join my friends thorugh xbox invites then to official servers to bypass the server browser issue
?

[tranquil epoch]

Can't join my friends game "attempting to join a game from invite or direct join" error. Any sollutions? theres also 2 options saying accept or cancel.

[fading timber]

lol so servers arent updating now either along with mods? tf is going on at this point

[obsidian moat]

I’ve tried both mine and my moms cards (with her permission obvs) and neither of us can buy a Nitrado server, and the support ticket is being transferred to a staff member that can help, aka they aren’t gonna respond in the next five years I’m assuming
So they make Nitrado the only server host and yet I can’t even buy a goddamn server from them 🙄

I just want to play this stupid Dino game man

[celest halo]

Just because #patch-notes says there is a server patch does not mean it's available for unofficial servers

[nimble talon]

Honestly it mainly needs ram, just find an old PC and pop 32GB ram in there and self host

[obsidian moat]

I’m not experienced enough to do that

I’d rather not have to learn something new this year lmao, I just want to use Nitrado until ASA fully releases then I’ll swap to Gportal

[echo nest]

Hello

I am hosting my personal ASE Instance and try to install Structures+ And AutomatedARK

Issue with Structures+ = I cannot learn any engrams, they are fixed at 0 and impossible to learn even with unlockers

AutomatedARK = Cannot find it in my workshop installed items and such cannot upload it to the server....

[nimble talon]

My understanding is that no other server host is allowed to host, or is that changed now? Last I checked only hosts that essentially give you a machine will let ya.

[echo nest]

Nvm. Coding in its fine grained moments:
Had to start ARK Survival to get the mod for Automated....

Structures+ still aint working

[civic leaf]

Yeah, i'm also having this issue. coords 50 50 are a huge mess of duplicated structures and dinos. But for now, you can go at 50 50 and use cheat killaoe tamed 1000 (this will kill all tamed dinos around you in a 3 foundations range)

[sterile osprey]

Thank you yeah it's what I'll probably do

[remote sparrow]

unofficial servers dont get the latest update yet? is it always like this?

[cloud sorrel]

@remote sparrow when it's a minor version I usually just have to restart and it's there I haven't tried this one yet.. I am using the dedicated program not steam command version

[fading timber]

no it's not on unofficials yet ive reset mine and no update and it's stiill not updating mods

[raw glade]

@glad token

ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile:

The ARK Mobile official Discord can be found here:

Ark mobile discord

ARK Mobile players will always be welcome in this discord too!

[celest halo]

Yes unofficials always get it after officials, sometimes its like 30min after other times it's 24 hours later or anytime in-between

[remote sparrow]

Thx!

[celest halo]

If you want to know if it's out for unofficial 2nd link in first pinned message, look at last update time for the "public" branch

Only one without a lock icon

[inner citrus]

is there a way to change the language on unoffical servers? everything is in a foreign language for my tribe

[tidal knot]

On my server the tame limit is set to 5000 but my tribe limit is set at 250? Is that a false number we can jump past, or how does it work?

[celest halo]

-culture=<lang_code> Overrides the server output language. If set in server it doesn't override clients' language. List of currently supported language codes: ca, cs, da, de, en, es, eu, fi, fr, hu, it, ja, ka, ko, nl, pl, pt_BR, ru, sv, th, tr, zh, zh-Hans-CN, zh-TW. bat file setting

[celest halo]

MaxPersonalTamedDinos= in GUS to change tribe limit

[nimble talon]

Is there a way to lower the heat in game?

[tidal knot]

Alright thanks

[echo nest]

Anyone?

[wise kindle]

Your best bet is to ask the mod owners tbh. Most modders have a discord you can join to ask questions. The only thing I can think of is a mod conflict, possibility with mods you already have installed. Some mods do not play well together.

[kindred ledge]

Ok so does any one have a some setting to make breeding interval’s faster

[rich cloak]

In my Servers game.ini and these all work just dandy

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=100
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.010416667
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=25
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=2
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50

[fierce mortar]

ok so i'm attepmpting to figure out the customdino levels mod to set it similar to Rag really not sure of how the values work

[lime crest]

Is this issue of not seeing the server I play on suddenly even though friends are on it right now an ark thing or what ?

[wise kindle]

The mod page on the curseforge website explains how the mod settings work. Take a look there.

[fierce mortar]

i read through it on the mod page on xbox pretty sure i've got it figured out now but we shall see

it was the math that i was trying to understand lol but it was due to the wording that threw me off for a sec

hmm but doesnt seem to have worked guess i'll have to reread it lol

[wise kindle]

Did you do a wild dino wipe?

[fierce mortar]

yes i think i understand what i did wrong tried to modify the minimum level AND have Rag levels which conflicted

[wise kindle]

Cuz tbh its pretty hard to say it didnt work within 20 minutes lol, provided you did a wipe. Takes ages just to get dinos spawning back again.

[gloomy lake]

I'm trying to acheive 100% imprint using 1 cuddle for every dino and just cant get it.... BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=10.0
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=25.0
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=1
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.25

[fierce mortar]

had 3 stegos spawn within minutes of doing the wipe

[fierce mortar]

@gloomy lake this persons posted the ones they use to do it in 5 mins

[gloomy lake]

i dont want a 50 mature speed tho

[fierce mortar]

then change the speed you dont have to use the exact code

just change the values you want the mature speed just tells how fast it grows up

[gloomy lake]

maybe i need to add BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0

[fierce mortar]

nah that has minimal effect honestly thats only if you miss an imprint

[fierce mortar]

are you searching in the right tab? is the server password protected?

and is it crossplay?

[gloomy lake]

cuddle and mature speed matter most and definitely correlate together... it just seems like the babyimprintamountmultiplier isn't working for me no matter what i do

it doesn't go in game user settings does it?

[fierce mortar]

i use 0.0232 in the cuddle and that usually gets about 1/3 of the imprint with an 80 in mature speed

game.ini

[rich cloak]

Read Here > https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Game.ini

[fierce mortar]

tho i definitely need to rework it a bit seems gryphons only get 13% per imprint on mine and that math isnt working for full imprint

[gloomy lake]

yeah the way mature speed effects imprinting/cuddles is the higher the mature speed, the lower you need to put the cuddleinterval multiplier... so you are able to actually cuddle the dino

[rich cloak]

you want the BabyImprintAmountMultiplier

[gloomy lake]

yeah im using that at 25x and it doesnt seem to be increasing the imprint amount

[wise kindle]

This is where Beacon is so nice to have cuz it does the MaThS.

[rich cloak]

works good for me to get 100% in one imprint, and I have wild spawns set to max of 300

[gloomy lake]

im looking for somebody's settings at 10x mature speed to get 100% imprint with 1 cuddle on all dinos lol

[fierce mortar]

if i had the money to spare i would lol, i dont minddoingthe math just need the math explained sometimes lol

[rich cloak]

Ya, Beacon is not free

Honestly I avoid using it, because then I learn more

[gloomy lake]

my issue is that my settings are allowing 1 cuddle for all the small dinos like pteras so 100% imprint from that, but a giga takes longer to mature and needs 12 cuddles to get 100% imprint, and i just want to do one lol

[rich cloak]

so set it to 500

[gloomy lake]

lol i tried 1k and it didnt work

maybe i messed up earlier on this dino im testing on and the imprint quality is super low because its lost quality

[wise kindle]

To each their own 🙂 I used it to start off my drops then just manual edit from there.

[fierce mortar]

quick question are you testing this on the same baby eachtime you change things? if so you wont see a change

[mint idol]

Is there a template anywhere of the base server settings to match official? I'm looking to get my own server but it would be on xbox, i dont own the game on steam, so cant use the option of going single player and copying the file

[fierce mortar]

a lot of the time messing with imprints you have to use a fresh baby each time you change as it typically wont update that baby

[gloomy lake]

i am, but it seemed like i did see a change initially, i got imprint quality from 2% to 25%

but maybe thats because of cuddle interval and its not reflecting changes to imprintamount

[fierce mortar]

quite possible

[cinder sky]

How do I own a unofficial server on Xbox and from where

[lime crest]

its official , crossplay and no password

got another guy I know who isnt on it to try and he can see it and join its just me

I can join other servers no problem

[fierce mortar]

hmm then i have no idea unless you somehow got banned from that server or have the wrong gamemode in, (PvP or PvE)

[lime crest]

unless I got banned for just playing. I dont cheat or do anything weird so..Im still new enough

[lime crest]

omg..I had pvp mode in search...changed to pve then pvp then all then back to pvp and it worked

[fierce mortar]

lol there you go

[sterile osprey]

I like using it to then see how it's written

[worn elk]

is crossplay working on non dedi yet?

[slow crag]

Would like to hear same info ^^ also?

[vital linden]

I've been having the same issue, 3rd time now. Really frustrating.

Yes, it's nothing to do with saves like so many people assume. It's stuff you could have had for days, stuff in a dino and your personal inventory. Is driving me crazy.

[silk patrol]

how do i do a dino wipe on my server anyone help

[wise kindle]

Check 50/50. Literally are finding vaults from tribes with random missing items in them. The bug makes zero sense. But yeah, we find missing things there. Not all missing things but some of them.

[vagrant ledge]

Cheat DestroyWildDinos

[silk patrol]

tried that wont work

[vagrant ledge]

are you admin? and have you put in your adminpass?

[silk patrol]

yeah im admin

[vagrant ledge]

made sure you have admin powers? quick check is to open showmyadminmanager or check if you have a star in chatt

[fading timber]

is there a modifier for crop yield i cant seem to find one

i guess just do a multiplier for each crop?

[burnt stirrup]

What is Max player level ?

[silk patrol]

cheers

[raven wigeon]

how hard is it to fix the decays lo??

[bitter lily]

Hi all,
I'm new to PC and mods in general but I'd like to make a few mods for my private server and I'm not sure where to look other than the recent tutorials by Mist3r Trixt3r on YT or the old Zen Rowe Wildcard Workshop series for ASE - I don't know how similar it is to how the new ASA devkit works, is it still a good place to start there?

The kinds of mods I'm considering (wishful thinking, but still) go from small QoL changes to even making my own creatures, items, and RPG style stuff. I'm a Blender beginner, originally started learning for other modelling purposes at first, but now that I have a decent gaming laptop that should be able to handle ASA and the devkit, I want to challenge myself and make the things I've been dreaming of since playing on ASE on PS4 years ago.

Sorry for the long post 😅
TIA!

[fierce mortar]

Ok so i have a question would it be easier to use ini to increase rhynio spawns or to replace a swamp dino (thinking kapro) with rhynio if that would increase the spawn

[vagrant ledge]

if you replace kapros I think you might get overspawn of the rhynio instead

[wise kindle]

Id start in the mod channels.

[vagrant ledge]

DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Rhynio_Character_BP_C,SpawnWeightMultiplier=2,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=2)
I would try something like that

[fierce mortar]

thats kinda what i was thinking but when i tried that on my ASE server a while back we ended up with swarms of them (talking like 30plus bugs in an area lol somewhere i have a clip of it lol)

[vagrant ledge]

then try to just increase it a litle bit

[fierce mortar]

kk ty i'll see how well this works dont wnt ppl getting mercd by them but 1 spawn at a time is not cutting it lol

[tranquil fossil]

Anyone else on PC getting crashes referencing PurpleRain on a drive called Dave?

[wise kindle]

ah no, you might want to check you mods maybe? Sounds like maybe a mod thing, unless I'm reading that wrong lol. Very odd.

[tranquil fossil]

Naw, not mods. It's WC-Dave lol

[wise kindle]

Id open a ticket then if you think its WC.

[tranquil fossil]

Yeah, I'd love to, but their support crew banned my support accoutn for arguing with a support person's reply ona ticket back in ASE over a year ago.

[lean lotus]

3rd time is brutal, has anyone found a way to consistenly produce the bug yet so it can get fixed? or does it feel just completely random

[tardy pine]

what is a fair amount of time to start deleting player profiles from my server to reduce the save size (I run frequent backups and that adds up quick)? say anything over 3 weeks old with no updates? Would this break anything?

[forest tusk]

v31.41 not out yet for self hosted?

[sterile osprey]

I give 2 weeks personally

Unless they mentioned they will be inactive for a reason

[quaint hinge]

anyway to make the resources respawn even if they are within the feeding troph feeding area?

[wise kindle]

Refertilizer?

[quaint hinge]

i ment automaticaly and also rocks

[ivory slate]

Hey guys, my game bugged and I lost my inventory.

They nitrado, is there a way to Goto my previous save like 2 hours ago

[hard finch]

Admin commands aren't working on my server? Anyone else got this?

[frigid vine]

Can somebody confirm this?
We using default decay timers... so thatch 4 days, wooden 8 days and so on. But it seems that the timers will be reset (for all structures/dinos) when the server restarts o.O

[vagrant ledge]

sadly everyone has this problem

[wanton snow]

Hello
I can't kill unclaim dinos On my server. anyone know the configuration command?

[vagrant ledge]

Make sure you are admin on the server, check with showmyadminmanager or if you have a star in chat

[frigid vine]

Thats kinda sad and needs fast to be fixed. So many new players on asa-servers and if they leave, nothing gets auto destroyed. And its hard to decide is a player come back or not because the timers getting every day resettet

[fiery pewter]

A friend of mine is having issues with the mod: Moro's Indomitable Duo. My friend's files are corrupted and the server does not automatically delete or reinstall the files correctly. We've tried installing from the mod list, and clearing configs etc. Can anyone help?

[wise kindle]

When you remove are you starting it up then taking it down before reinstalling?

[ivory slate]

Why does my Server keep restarting on its own 😒

[ashen nebula]

I copied my GameUserSettings.ini file from my singleplayer world when I created my server. Do I need the [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings] and [ScalabilityGroups] headings? They seem to have a to do with graphics quality and player settings

[ivory slate]

Bruh my server restarted 4 times in a row…. Im going to press stop next time I get the chance.

It keeps saying “an update is being installed” and restarts. But 4+ times in a row??

[wise kindle]

You probably need to ask these questions in the Nitrado discord.

[ivory slate]

Sigh okay

[fiery pewter]

He said: "No i start it up and waiting for it to redownload
I even resorted to unistalling all the mods and redownloaded them through the join and it does the same thing."
"I tried unistalling them and then downloading the mods through the in game workshop. Doesnt work"

[vagrant ledge]

Deleted the mods from the mods folder?

[fiery pewter]

Also verified the catch 3 times*

[vagrant ledge]

removing the Id from the server doesnt really uninstall them

[fiery pewter]

They remove it from the mod list and/or reinstalled them from joinin the server or mod list

[vagrant ledge]

well sadly that wont remove them completely

[fiery pewter]

How can they remove them? :>

[vagrant ledge]

Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame\Mods

remove everything in the mods folder

can do that on the server aswell if you need to reinstall it on that too

[fiery pewter]

Well everyone else can get in without a problem, it's just him

I'll see if this works when he gets back from work :>

[vagrant ledge]

aight yeah try that 🙂

[fiery pewter]

Thank yall <333

[fading thicket]

i was messing around with some commands, think i was searching commands with leaf/leaves/foliage and i ran one that made it when i destroyed a rock it just dissapeared without the explosion of smaller rock particles, but i had ran so many and got distracted that i forgot. does anyone happen to know that command?

[wise kindle]

Not sure if he is following but when they have issues, you remove the mod while the server is shutdown, then start it up, then after its fully up, shut it down and then readd the mod. If that doesnt fix it, you need to join the modders discord and request help there.

[vagrant ledge]

you can push your arrow key up to check previous commands

[fading thicket]

i’ve ran too many commands since

[vagrant ledge]

ohh well then haha, just do them all over again 😉

[white merlin]

General ASA console question for my fellow console players. Play on an unofficial server with mods. Non Nitrado. Since this morning console players can’t join and it shows two mods as either “out of date” or “invalid” any tips on how to fix?

It is crossplay and pc players are having no issues. Just us console guys sadly.

[pseudo relic]

Does anyone know the setting how to enable auto unlock engrams when you level up ?

How do I change the server settings of my nitrado server on XBOX?

[rigid panther]

So do we have to wait for the 1st for the recipes to become available for the Turkey Trial event? I added the ActiveEvent=TurkeyTrial and we have turkeys on the island but no recipes for the skins.

[vagrant ledge]

yeah think we need to wait for december first

[rigid panther]

Ok cool that's what I was thinking just wanted to see if anyone else may have figured something out to add them. Thanks!

[celest halo]

the events are not going to be baked into the game anymore, they are going to be mods

[rigid panther]

That doesn't make sense since we have Turkeys on the island after I added the event

[celest halo]

left over code

from community crunch While we weren't planning to unleash the Murder-Turkeys on ARK: Survival Ascended this year, we’ve pivoted in order to do an event “test run”. Our intention is to use the CurseForge Mod Delivery System for this event, which we haven't done before on a wide scale on our Official Network. The benefits of using this system allow us to make sure that Seasonal Event Mods are always accessible, even after an event has ended so players who want to run them on their servers or in single-player can do so year-round and avoid us having to update clients, but just patch the mod itself.

[rich cloak]

The -ActivateEvents is using old code remenants, and the things it activates are are not the complete set

[fiery pewter]

well again, he is the only one having issues in the server

[rigid panther]

Oh that makes sense

[rich cloak]

The Wishbone drops can not be used

Is anyone having problems with mods after the most recent v31.41 patch?

[celest halo]

unofficial servers dont even have 31.41 yet

[peak ferry]

I had thought it updated after I ran the batch file but I also noticed its still running 31.37
Did they pull the update or something

[nimble talon]

It happens a lot lol

[celest halo]

officials are on it, we not important enough to get the Dino Replication range fix

[nimble talon]

Yea idk, it's annoying as hell

What kind of Ram/CPU power is needed to run an ASA cluster?

[celest halo]

cant run a cluster on ASA yet so no testing has been done

[tardy pine]

I am trying to predict. How about ASE?

[nimble talon]

I was running two servers, and it was using about 4-6% per server for CPU time and about 12-18GB ram per Server

Any ideas on how to fix the crashes on exiting an inventory?

[tardy pine]

What CPU were you running?

[nimble talon]

I'm running a Ryzen 3600 and 128gb ram on server 2016 standard

[tardy pine]

Thanks! Any particular reason you're running it on server OS instead of windows pro?

Apart from being able to defer windows updates

[nimble talon]

Oh I have it for the remote users and more overall control is all

[tardy pine]

got it, by remote users you mean headless access?

[nimble talon]

Yea, just easier when you have access to AD 😄

[tardy pine]

I dig it. Server is cool but Pro can handle a lot for a lot less $$ so was curious if there was a specific reason.

Thank you!

[nimble talon]

You mean like Windows 10 pro?

[tardy pine]

Yeah

WIndows 10 pro has rdp access, iis and virtualization built in. no AD though

[nimble talon]

Ah, I probably should've used 10 now that you mention it lol, I have like 4 licenses still from old machines

[rich cloak]

I run on Server 2022, because I have a private MSDN subscription, and I get a plethroia of OS licenses included, and the Server OS is better optimised for running things like Game servers

[tardy pine]

haha, server is damn nice though if you know networking. set it up to be your router with roaming wifi.

[celest halo]

mines on a unlicensed win10 pro, hoping they release linux binaries so i can move it lmao

[tardy pine]

Server is free from a lot of the commercial edition bloat... windows 11 is basically an android app... stuffed full of ads in inconvenient places

[tardy pine]

The "trial" never really expires on 10 pro... lol. You do however lose the ability to customize your desktop background 🤣

[celest halo]

yeah i know thats why that VM is unlicensed no real point in paying for a license for it

[charred dagger]

Would anyone mind helping me to adjust my Game ini settings? I mnot too sure what to adjust. I want to lower breeding timers for almost all aspects. Time between, maturation speed, imprint timer, ect.

[rich cloak]

In my Servers game.ini and these all work just dandy
May be too OP for some people

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=100
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.010416667
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=25
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=2
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50

[charred dagger]

So that covers baby stuff, but for the life of me I can not figure out how to lower the breeding cooldown

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.200000

[rich cloak]

MatingIntervalMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A higher value increases the time between which dinosaurs can mate (Value = 0.5 would half the interval)

MatingSpeedMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A higher value increases the speed at which dinosaurs mate.

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A higher value decreases the time required for an egg to hatch.

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A higher value decreases the time needed for a dino to mature.

BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier    1.0    Game.ini    A lower value decreases the speed that a baby dino eats its food.

TamingSpeedMultiplier    1.0    GameUserSettings.ini    A higher value makes the dinosaurs tame faster.

[charred dagger]

this does absolutely noting. Ive changed it 3 times

[rich cloak]

Many settings are not proven to work yet in ASA

Patience......

[charred dagger]

so in your server, what is the breeding cool down?

for lets say argy

[rich cloak]

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.01
MatingSpeedMultiplier=4```

I do not time the species

[charred dagger]

so your 0.01 equivalates to what in real life time?

[young minnow]

that imprint right?

[rich cloak]

I shut down my 8 map ASE cluster about 4 years ago, and I used to do all the breeding stuff for stats and mutations etc, now for ASA, I am just running the Easy Road

[young minnow]

If it the cuddle timer it translate to 4m 48s

[rich cloak]

I am not recording times

[young minnow]

oh wait mating

my bad

[charred dagger]

ugh

[charred dagger]

what is that?

[young minnow]

the mating timer

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.01

= said timers

[rich cloak]

As I said, I put all of that away 4 years ago

[charred dagger]

so what is it with my current MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.200000

[charred dagger]

so none of your numbers are proven to work currently. Only 4 years ago

[charred dagger]

Thank you!

[young minnow]

His numbers will still = the same results I am posting

[rich cloak]

I use those numbers currently on my ASA server, they work well for fast breeding

[young minnow]

They never changed, regardless of time

[charred dagger]

That chart is all I needed. What is that?

[young minnow]

It the beacon application

Has everything

[rich cloak]

Ya, I was going to say, if you want to get accurate, get the Beacon App

[charred dagger]

where do I download that?

[young minnow]

Just type in beacon app ark on google

should be first link and download 🙂

[rich cloak]

usebeacon.app

It is how ever a pay app

[charred dagger]

ugh $20?

plus the $70 for the server and $45 for the game

expensive ass game lol

[young minnow]

Breeding part free

You only need to pay if you plan to do certain changes like crafting or creature spawns for example

Otherwise the rest of the app is free to use and play around with

[rich cloak]

The app works very well, and if you want to Admin Servers, it can save a lot of work

[hallow hill]

Are there any fixes for single player not saving?

[cunning slate]

Not just you two. Same problem here. Yet my wife has no issue whatsoever when connecting from the Xbox Series X.

[rocky parrot]

Sucks cause it’s the only mod not working properly and it’s the one I thought was the coolest lol

[cunning slate]

"Hyper's Cosmetics" mod is also doing the same thing.

The mods work for me, but they re-download and reinstall every time I connect. Which is a lot of fun given how often this game crashes.

[rocky parrot]

I don’t have that one. I implemented all the ark creation dinos and they’re all on the map except for the deinosuchus

And the deinosuchus is the only one that redownloads for me

[cunning slate]

Yea none of the other Ark Additions mods have that issue here either.

I uninstalled from my PC. Uninstalled from my Nitrado server, stopped server, restarted without the mod, then stopped again and reinstalled mod, and restarted again and still same crap.

[wise kindle]

If its crossplay, the mod has an issue with crossplay atm. Have to wait for Curseforge to fix it. I removed it cuz my players didnt even see the deino saddle engram, much less see any deinosuchus on the map.

[rocky parrot]

Ah that makes sense. My server is indeed crossplay

[cunning slate]

That would have been my assumption as well but this was happening even before I activated crossplay on the server.

[wise kindle]

I'll readd it after it gets fixed tho, its a good mod. Just needs a bit of tlc atm.

[rocky parrot]

Is there anyway to report issues with the mod

[cunning slate]

Curseforge points you to a lot of the dev discord servers.

[wise kindle]

Its a known issue in their discord. They are just waiting for a fix from Curseforge. Garuga isnt the only one with a mod that is seeing this issue.

[rocky parrot]

Ah okay

[cunning slate]

I'm glad to hear an acknowledgement. On the 3 mods I've seen issues with, the response was "it must be on your end because it doesn't happen to me." kind of responses.

Circa RP Deco was the other mod having that same issue. That was real fun when the mod was 2 gig. Sadly THAT got uninstalled quickly.

[wise kindle]

OH I feel that one. I see that alot too. In this case pretty much every crossplay cluster is seeing issues with this mod to some extent.

The Dwarven Builders mod does this to me as well, so waiting before we try that one again.

Im waiting patiently for Circas RP Deco, that mod is awesome. I dont mind waiting tho, its worth the wait for a nice mod.

[rocky parrot]

Is the svaltfheim mods having any issues you know of? Been thinking of trying that out

[wise kindle]

Yeah, but the armor one works so far. I'm kinda waiting on the map mod. The map isnt finished so I dont want my players to have to keep redownloading the mod everytime he updates it.

[coarse tulip]

My server is randomly getting lag all of a sudden, i get about 10 stacks of the Slow frame detected going at a time. no one is mass breeding or anything, anyone know any remedies?

[cunning slate]

I took no pleasure in uninstalling. I just couldn't do that wait every time i reconnected. At least the Deinosuchus one is only 175mb

[wise kindle]

Same!

[charred dagger]

HA found it! thank you!

[jagged basalt]

restart on a min of every 12 hours due to memory leaks that still exist

[charred dagger]

ok one last question for now. What is the ini line for Max difficulty? I just want to make sure dinos have a chance to spawn at 150

[coarse tulip]

I just had a restart about 3 hours ago. and it just randomly started happening, previous restart was like 30 hours before this last one and it didnt happen then

[jagged basalt]

Sorry no clue then

try a dino wipe

[coarse tulip]

yeah, its weird, i did that too haha

[charred dagger]

Is it this?

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.000000
DifficultyOffset=10.000000

[near snow]

DifficultyOffset=1.0

[rich cloak]

DifficultyOffset can not exceed 1.0 or the server will reset it to 1.0

[thick kindle]

Anyone having issues with the wild alpha buff being active 24/7 with no alphas around?

[rich cloak]

[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
MaxDifficulty=false

When MaxDifficulty is set to TRUE, it over rides the OverrideOfficialDifficulty setting, and forces it to 5, which = level 150  ```

[fiery pewter]

he said that it still doing the same thing

[charred dagger]

So with mine being at 10 what does that mean>

[rich cloak]

Here is the whole explanation for level 300 Wild Spawns ```
To get level 300 Wild Spawns, Dedicated OR Single player
\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows
GameUserSettings.ini
[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10

Game.ini
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
MaxDifficulty=false

When MaxDifficulty is set to TRUE, it over rides the OverrideOfficialDifficulty setting, and forces it to 5, which = level 150

[charred dagger]

nope dont want that.

Just need to know how to make it 150

[rich cloak]

So, OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10 = >> 300, OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 >> 150

[coarse tulip]

yeah just leave offset at 1, younever need to change it, use overrideofficialdifficulty for your desired levels, 5 = 150 max, 10 = 300 max

[charred dagger]

think it was just a typo and the . needs to move over 1
