Hello o/

So i host my server on nitrado and installed the mod

Classic Glidet Ascended on the server.

I can see the item in the Engrams i can learn and learned it but the item doesnt show up under crafting.

Anyone knows a solution?

[wise kindle]

your best bet is to hit up the modders discord. This is a mod issue.

[jade quiver]

Thanks you have a link?

[wise kindle]

I do not, you will have to look at the mod page on Curseforge to find it. There are 450+ mods out right now, we cant possibiliy track all those discords lol.

[jade quiver]

Okay will so thank you

[low dew]

you can have multiples on battlemetrics

😛

[celest halo]

Hmmm I have to check mine lol, with ASE I never had that problem I could be on the server with the Akron tool and my bot would also still get stuff from it's own rcon connection to the server

[daring prairie]

are there discord bots to track asa stats and stuff?

[scenic fog]

Does ASE have the ability to track what's happening in a server (e.g Player stats and Location, Dino Stats and location etc) ? Or is the dedicated server only limited to being able to track a few things?

[daring prairie]

is there a way to see more info on the mods ? on nitrado if i click on it, it installs the mod on the server but i want to read more info first

[dusky thistle]

There's a small button next to the name of the mod that links to its curse page. arrow with a box

[exotic flume]

So I paid for the game, but have to pay again for an unofficial server to play cross platform with friends?

[daring prairie]

thanks 🙂

[dusky thistle]

For preventing SP downloads, does -NoTransferFromFIlter work even with cluster settings disabled atm? Can't access command line stuff on Nitrado but could try to get them to add it in with a ticket maybe. Rather not disable upload/download since I use those to escort creatures across the map.

[scenic fog]

Curious, what is the use case for connecting your server to discord? Ping on certain events or something? (Like an egg being hatched?)
And thanks, i just looked up ARK Server API on game server Hub, will check that out

[full oak]

Cluster Settings not currently implemented to asa server

[dusky thistle]

Yea that's why I'm asking if the transfer filter argument will work at all, since it should with no clusterID defined but not sure if ASA acknowledges it at all yet.

[scenic fog]

Oh wow, i'll definitely get into using it then, it sounds nuts

[full oak]

no it does not work 😉

[frail crown]

Has there been any word on if linux server files will be a thing for ASA?

[dusky thistle]

So it's disable upload/download completely for now then I guess, unless there is another alternative to prevent downloads from SP that I am unaware of.

[frail crown]

From what I understand that's different from the ASE linux server files. I ask because my software dev husband hates windows with a passion and would rather not have to run a compatibility layer.

[tired vessel]

Has anyone tried setting up as a cluster to allow uploading while protecting against SP downloads? I have some players who have unlocked the transmitter on my server and are asking for that

re: linux -- i've been running ASA server and clinet in linux since release day and have 0 problems. My windows friends are tons of hassles

[frail crown]

Been running natively in linux, or with proton or docker though?

[tired vessel]

proton -- there is no 'native'

[frail crown]

Because my husband prefers to work natively in linux. ASE had native linux functionality.

[tired vessel]

i game using linux exclusively now. i haven't found a game that i cant get working with better performance the reliability than in windows. I'm sure some exist, just not ones i care about 😛

[frail crown]

He knows its just an extra step, he would just prefer not to have to do it that way.

No need to get snarky. I only asked if the linux dedi files had been released or if we had any news on if they'd have native linux support.

[gleaming basalt]

any ideas, why the Dinolevels are reset to 150 max? we have 300 max on our serer .. but since 2 days or so we only got max lvl150 with 5 level steps ...

[frail crown]

We can wait to run our own server for now then. ❤️

[celest halo]

anyone do the update today to there unofficial server and know what version its on? (not home to update mine to see)

Nice back to same version as live, after being on different versions for week

[humble thicket]

yeah i just updated it thanks for the heads up

[celest halo]

i have a bot that notifies me when its on steam just was at work when it did 🚨 UPDATES ARE COMING Updates have been detected on Steam 🎮 Updated Games 💡 ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server (2430930:public) 🕑 Checked at 2023/12/04 16:45:59 Image Notified by Game Update Notifier•Today at 11:48 AM

we all know how useful there patch notes channel is for unofficials lmao (last version we had didn't even have patch notes for it)

[humble thicket]

that is pretty awesome

[sterile osprey]

And how does that work

[humble thicket]

How do I access admin command on my Nintendo switch ark server

[main quest]

Does anyone know the .ini or Command lines for enabling crossplay on ALL platforms? I'm missing the one for PS5 and can't seem to find it

[celest halo]

default is all of them on a self hosted unofficial dedicated, but can try ServerPlatform=PC+XSX+WINGDX+PS5 or ServerPlatform=ALL

[main quest]

Yup, Thanks!! just found that exact info. Glad to see it matches!

[steep mantle]

I'm playing on PS5 with my friend & the tether distance adjuster doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to fix this or is it broken?

Thanks 🙂

[olive talon]

It's broken, only way to fix it is by renting a server or hosting a dedicated

[solemn zephyr]

Game.ini , set MaxDifficulty to False

[gleaming basalt]

will give that info to my admin

[steep mantle]

Thanks 🙂

[wet talon]

I host a sever for the island and wanted to add Svartalfheim and s dinos, but is transferring to and from even possible right now?

[dusky thistle]

Not in the normal sense of clustering no.

[wet talon]

So my friends would have to join the 2nd map and make a whole new character?

[dusky thistle]

Only alternative atm is to upload at ob, bring server down, change map, reload server, download there.

[wet talon]

Thank you 😦

[patent crown]

Can anyone help me decide whether to get asa on Xbox series s or on a PlayStation 5

[steep mantle]

As someone that has both, Id say PS5 but it depends what your friends play on tbh

[patent crown]

Haha well about that my friends don’t play it it be just me but thanks for the tip

[humble thicket]

How do I access admin command on my Nintendo switch ark server?

Why does everyone on my server dc every time we try to harvest metal? and some wild dinos do it too, is this something that happens to everyone? in ASA

[sterile osprey]

Did they push the dedicated update?

[iron walrus]

i need help fixing the weight added per level up point on my nitrado server. ive added to the game ini. for the player points per level or whatever thats called and it still wont work. i still adds 10 weight per level when i want it to add 50

[manic sail]

is there a way to change night and day speed on nitrado servers?

[tardy pine]

Would you mind sharing the code for that?

[celest halo]

sent you a dm with github link to it, i didnt make it

[tardy pine]

You rock, thank you!

[bright thistle]

Is there a command for singleplayer to destroy all the trees and rocks so I can build without having to harvest all of them

[grizzled meteor]

is there WinterWonderland event for ASA? anyone knows?

[celest halo]

there is no full events for ASA yet, there is just some left over event things from ASE

[bleak ivy]

DestroyFoliage <Radius> <PutFoliageResourcesInInventory>
example
admincheat DestroyFoliage 1000 1
may or may not work on console

[north escarp]

what dino count multiplier you guys using?

[bright thistle]

Thank you

[wraith orchid]

Can you see if a player has uploaded/downloaded something in server logs?

[thick oxide]

what is the best server manager?

dedicated^^

[humble thicket]

How do you make custom recipes on Xbox

[opal flare]

Our server is experiencing issues when adding drops / mods. Anyone have any tips for mods / coding drops to help reduce crashing?

[polar kettle]

I’m not sure where to ask this but if I have a mod and it broke and I had to remove it, will all the stuff disappear and take whatever I made with it?

[olive talon]

Yes. If the mod is removed, it will remove the mod content.

[polar kettle]

What about my non mod content? Like if I used a mod chest to store my non mod items?

[olive talon]

If you use a mod chest, and remove the mod, everything in that will disappear.

[polar kettle]

Well that’s sad. Thank you for your help!

[olive talon]

You're welcome

[native wave]

another one of those, we'd really like it now on unofficial servers, patches

or it's just a client patch needed

[celest halo]

its a server also

but we prob wont see it right away lol

[proven fern]

hey guys i was wondering about how nitrado is. i currently own an asa server with 24 gb of ram and a dedicated cpu core through auxilex but i have friends on console that it would be cool to play with and nitrado has entirely monopolized crossplay. how is nitrado server connection, stability and whatnot? do they have lag and crashing issues?

asking since nitrado website doesnt disclose any specs whatsoever

[native wave]

they seem to indicate that the baby floating issue is a client side fix though...we'll see after I update my client

[celest halo]

yeah but i know alot of server owners that want this Fixed abandoned structures not decaying

[native wave]

yeah, I understand that. not using that on my server....so only the babies floating for me

[blissful shard]

I've had a server going for over a month now and we have had a total of one crash. Overall it's been super smooth sailing and our only trouble is with a few standard game bugs.

[proven fern]

holy shit one crash? my server crashes like 3 or 4 times a day

[solemn cradle]

hey really need help here! some of my dinos have magically vanished... not in my tame tab when I search for them, in the sky, in my base, or randomly around my base (I still have their babies growing up from them such as rex triplets!)
I've reset my folder to a point were I know I logged into the game and saw them, but they are not here either... like their data has just disappeared (yes, the babies are still there from them and its happened to about 15 of my dino's)
Please help! nitrado

[blissful shard]

Yup haha. It's been really awesome really. It technically hard crashed one another time (server shut down completely and I had to manually restart it) but that was at middle-of-the-night-'oclock when none of us exist cause adulting lol

My only real complaint with nitrado so far is that as a nitrado noob I can't figure out a simple way to set a countdown warning for the daily reset so there's only a minute of warning

[blissful shard]

Have you double checked your logs to see if they died without you noticing?

Seems like a silly question, but it happens lol

[solemn cradle]

yes, no logs of their deaths, I reload my server back 4 hours (when I know they were alive and tamed) and threy still arent there

[celest halo]

you check 50/50

[native wave]

one crash on my server since I launched it after they released the server files to public. That was right around the launch. Has been super stable. Only 2 mods so far

[solemn cradle]

they are not at 50/50

[icy cedar]

I just started a single player game and I can't tame anything. I put mejos in a carby's inventory, and it won't eat anything. The food drain setting is default

what might be the issue?

disable taming is set to off

[blissful shard]

Default can take quite a bit of time.. a lot of time

[modern finch]

i see a new branch on steamdb, public_test_realm. testing it out on my secondary server now.

server is reporting version 32.4 on this branch

[glacial creek]

Arkon on windows allows as many open windows as you like, and Arkon still works perfect after all these years from the Arkse days.

[scarlet ermine]

Anyone been able to get mutton to stack yet? "ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=50, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))" is not working. Seen it was an issue for several folks. Not sure if anyone figured it out yet

[old widget]

Is there any correlation between Gigas and Leeds??

I turned off Leeds and alpha Leeds but now we don’t see any Gigas or carchs.

[ruby merlin]

never had a single crash just client

[spring iron]

there is no correlation between them
i run this on my pve server for rp purposes
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Leedsichthys_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaLeedsichthys_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

[naive sage]

selling my ark server cheep come pm fast

[clever tendon]

So I have a question is anyone else having problems raising the Player Levels because my level is stuck at 135 and I set all the parameters correctly any Idea what's going on right now?

[bleak ivy]

I haven't seen anybody get it to work yet, hopefully somebody finds the issue or it gets fixed changing dino levels does work tho.

[clever tendon]

Ya I might have to figure out something else we will see what happens

[tranquil spade]

after the update my server goes up for 4 mins then crashes

anyone else?

[devout pine]

Is host tethering fixed yet?

[hollow acorn]

Does anyone know how to raise the taming speed on nitrado? I can't find the option anywhere

[deep flower]

Anyone have any idea why Xbox players aren't able to place modded items down? Turns green for them but won't let them place.

[half pilot]

any recomendations for what website to purchase a server from

[dim matrix]

Server could be running an old build of the mod. Have them try uninstalling the mod pack in question, close the app, reopen, then reinstall mod. Cleared up issues with AA and reusables for me a few times so far. Hope it helps!

[vagrant ledge]

If you want to rent then nitrado is your only option

[charred charm]

unless you rent a bare metal server and run it yourself

[regal tusk]

hey all, just wanted to know if someone could help me with auto engram learning on level for my server, no tek, but all the others as players level

[hot tree]

hi i wanna pickup wild dinos on my nitrado server. anyone knows the command? bAllowFlyerCarryPvE=True doesnt work

[spiral citrus]

AllowFlyerCarryPvE=True

[hot tree]

ok thx

doesnst work too 😦

[jade quiver]

Turn off server, then settings, config, GameUserSettings.ini,

Add the line:
TamingSpeedMultiplier=1

Change 1 to the multiplier you want

[hot tree]

i put it in game.ini i think that was the problem

[jade quiver]

Install the ez engram mod, or you have have to add the lines gor everylevel yourself

[jade quiver]

Like pickup dinos with your argentavis?

[raven wigeon]

so fo decays is this correct?? DisableStructureDecayPvE=False
DisableDinoDecayPvE=False
PvEDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=1
AutoDestroyDecayedDinos=True
AutoDestroyOldStructuresMultiplier=1
PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1
OnlyAutoDestroyCoreStructures=False

[hot tree]

yes wild ones. i think i found it out now tho

[jade quiver]

Turn PvP on is what i did. Pickup on PvE just works for tamed dinos. But i dont know if you can change it otherwise

[hot tree]

AllowFlyerCarryPvE=True in game.ini i try now. i will report if it works

[regal tusk]

i dont wanna do mods, wanna do ini, just wasnt sure exactly on how

[jade quiver]

Yeah im not a fan of mods either but that one helped for it

[spiral citrus]

AllowFlyerCarryPvE=True in GUS.ini

[hot tree]

in works fine thx again

[regal tusk]

yeah haha, ill keep searching, i know the genuis people here have done it without

[jade quiver]

The nitrado site has a guide for it

[regal tusk]

oh! lemme check that out

seems the page is down

[raven wigeon]

hum can't update to the last one, i guess privates have to w8

[brittle echo]

So it goes in the gameuserini? I was trying to do this as well

[hot tree]

yes and it worked fine

[flint fern]

yo my friends setting a nitrado server up rn and do you guys know if there’s a way to change taming rates

[jade quiver]

@flint fern

[brittle echo]

Scroll up a bit, someone just posted it

[flint fern]

he figured it out lol thank you though

[peak sapphire]

Under game.ini add the line bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=True. Just note that tekgrams are unlocked at level 1 with this config, so either use the mod if you care about tek or you’ll have to add each engram line with the coresponding level it unlocks using EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="<string>",LevelToAutoUnlock=<integer>)

[regal tusk]

got it! cheers!

[rigid helm]

where would I find imprint stat scale ?

typically imprint stat bonuses are 20% which line would change this number

[jade quiver]

Baby imprint amount multiplier

Or baby imprint stat scale multiplier

[rigid helm]

BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=

im just trying to make sure

[jade quiver]

Anyone has a idea?

I habe my baby mature speed pretty high and 1 imprint gives 100%. The thing is certain babys show that they need something luke cuddles and it works fine but certain babys want something and the description is gone and doesnt come back so i dont know what they need to imprint and becuase my mature speed is high we dont have a 2nd chance to imprint

[rigid helm]

we have ours on 0.0000, but it seems dino bonuses are still on original 2.0

[jade quiver]

Then i dont know sorry

[rigid helm]

try press H for extended info

[jade quiver]

Well it doesnt show anything at all. No cuddle, food etc to imprint

Just impring in X sec and once it reaches 0 i can either cuddle or if it needs something else the description of what is gone

[rigid helm]

this seems like an UI issue, do you have other languages on? try change it back to original

i remember ASE had issues with uI on different languages

[jade quiver]

I play on console and all is set to english

[distant hearth]

its a known bug at the moment with using controller, if you can attach a mouse to the console, use that to point at dino an will show what it needs

[jade quiver]

Hmm okay thanks for the info

I thought i fkd up something with the server settings

Now i just need to get the damn mod to work 😑

[frank harness]

just checking. OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10 and DifficultyOffset=1 should provide a max lvl of 300 wild dinos, right? (max difficulty set to false)

[jade quiver]

Sounds about right yeah

[frank harness]

awesome. should find lvl 300's ones on the server at some point then xD

[vagrant ledge]

Rmember to dino wipe if you havnt

[frank harness]

rebooted it with dino wipe 🙂

[carmine shoal]

Hey guys, does anyone else have the “rubber banding on first login until death / fast travel” bug that occurs with high pop servers?

[signal geyser]

how do i set up my own unofficial? i'm guessing you have to pay like you did on ase but nitrado isnt partnered anymore is it?

[humble thicket]

threw nitrado which u pay or u can selfhost for free on a spare pc

[raven wigeon]

Whats the command for installing th ptr server on steamcmd

[humble thicket]

Is there a way to invite an xbox friend to a undedicated server on ps5?

[olive talon]

Nondedicated does not support crossplay.

[humble thicket]

So how would i be able to play with xbox?

[dusky radish]

Are we able to turn on winterwonderland?

[olive talon]

Host a dedicated with a secondary machine or rent a server.

[olive talon]

Not yet, the event hasn't even been added to ASA yet.

[humble thicket]

So if my friend runs it on his second xbox he should be able to invite me?

[olive talon]

Possibly, but I am not 100% sure if it needs to be a console or a PC.

The only way I know of involves PC.

[humble thicket]

Ok fs and one last thing how do i start a dedicated server 😂

[celest halo]

Video on how to in pinned messages, and far as I know dedicated server is only available to run on PCs

[humble thicket]

Ohhh damn 😦

Thx for the help tho, hope they’ll add that to xbox or ps5

[carmine shoal]

Hey guys, does anyone else have the “rubber banding on first login until death / fast travel” bug that occurs with high pop servers?

[low dew]

@carmine shoal this your server ?

[wintry jasper]

Why does is it only showing me 20 to 46 different unofficial servers everytime i click refresh and cant search any up.

[dusky radish]

Does turkey trial work? I see turkeys but can't craft stuff with bones.

[olive talon]

Are you on Ark Survival Evolved?

[carmine shoal]

It is.

[carmine shoal]

It will work entirely on December 8th. That’s when the event is fully released (supposedly!)

[pliant ocean]

So last night, we ran the alpha tek cave (unofficial PVE) for the first time and when the fight was over it had us spawn back in at our beds, naked and all of the dinos are gone.

Is there a setting on the server I need to change to allow us to keep our stuff?

[dusky radish]

ASA not sure where to find news on events on ASA. I have a private dedicated server.

[olive talon]

Okay. Events have not started on ASA yet. The Turkey Trial will not start until Friday.

All news will be in #announcements

[woeful sun]

If u completed it ur dinos will be outside tek cave

[olive talon]

@karmic narwhal #pvp-discussion.

[native stag]

Hello guyz, i have an issue on player and dino leveling. we are clamped to lvl 93 for player and above lvl 260 leveling dino is insane to not say impossible. We are playing on default setting. Any clue on this ?

[jade quiver]

Anyone knows?:

Does Harvestamountmultiplier work for players and dinos or just players?

[cobalt gale]

That is how the gameis intended. Dino's in the arena will be teleported to Tek Cave entrance and characters are forced to respawn. If you haven't put all your items in a dino at the end of the battle you lost them.

[exotic meteor]

Console/PS5: Does anyone else hate the way flyers wings have a visual echo? It just looks grainy, incomplete and is very distracting. Not exactly a bug, so it didn't seem right to submit a report. But it's definitely something we need on PS5.

[broken willow]

Anyone else unable to get the "favorites" section to actually work with your server?

[celest halo]

That is very bugged

[exotic meteor]

Never worked on ASE, why would it work on ASA lol

[mint idol]

In the settings on my server they are split one is DinoHarvestingDamageMultiplier and PlayerHarvestingDamageMultiplier, so i assume youd need to set them both seperately

[potent storm]

Anyone have a server config that is an exact copy of official servers?

[pliant ocean]

dinos were nowhere to be found, that's the problem

[marble wing]

Is anyone else aware of issues taming equus on console or is it something specific to my servers? For some reason we cannot tame them on my server they just refuse to eat

[old charm]

ok so what is the defenitive set up directions for making a dedicated server? Also will it be cross platform so my playstation freinds can play on it with me?

[carmine shoal]

Hey guys, does anyone else have the “rubber banding on first login until death / fast travel” bug that occurs with high pop servers?

[exotic meteor]

It really would be nice lol

[exotic meteor]

I was having a lot of trouble as well. It was dismounting me instead of letting me feed it after I got on.

[marble wing]

Yeah this is the issue we are having it seems that they haven't setup the use function correctly on controller as plugging in a keyboard and pressing E works fine I hope they patch it soon

[jade quiver]

Well harvest amount and harvest damage multiplier is a different thing

[lyric python]

DinoCountMultiplier

Does this work on ASA? Doesn't seem so for me

[rich cloak]

There is a setup guide in the Pins at the top of this channel

[tender saddle]

My spino got stuck inside a volcano glitchy rock and it’s one of the unbreakable rocks what should I do

Idk what to do and he’s the only tame I have beside petradon

[rich cloak]

Get the server admin to rescue it

[zenith bloom]

Is there a way to increase the storage capacity of vaults?

without mods

[rich cloak]

ItemStackSizeMultiplier Default value: 1.0 Value type: float Allow increasing or decreasing global item stack size, this means all default stack sizes will be multiplied by the value given (excluding items that have a stack size of 1 by default).

[clever tendon]

Has anyone found an answer on why we can't have the player level go up more then 135?

[pliant ocean]

I am looking for this answer as well

[exotic flume]

Made an non-dedicated server. Was free? Does that mean I can play in private w friends now

[celest halo]

If your friends are on same platform as you

[hearty wedge]

are your unofficial servers spawning hives/bees? No matter what I've tried, my selfhosted dedicated server (steamcmd) absolutely refuses to spawn any. Works fine in SP and the server seems to perform flawlessly otherwise

[lone geyser]

Anyone knows how to edit the player level cap?

[exotic flume]

Will they have to be teleported to me if I get too far away

[celest halo]

Yeah, they will be auto teleported to you if they get to far

[celest halo]

Mine has bees and hives in the red woods

[wise kindle]

daily wild dino wipes help refresh the spawns and trigger new spawns, alot of bee issues are solved with daily wipes.

[hearty wedge]

thanks; good to know that someone's getting bees, at least. I've done a lot of wipes and tried creating an entirely fresh server from scratch (rename the whole save folder), so I'm not sure what the deal is. Are you running with any special server arguments? I just have listen/sessionname/serverpassword/rconenabled/rconport/serveradminpassword/port/queryport/-nobattleye; unless battleye == "bees" somehow, doesn't seem particularly quirky

[wise kindle]

Never touched the spawn containers at all, they are very fragile right now and touching them tends to just break them.

I just daily wipe and let them respawn. They do take ages to respawn, but they do come back.

In other words I take no special precautions or settings changes to get bees to spawn.

[hearty wedge]

Got it. I'll just keep wiping and hoping that the bees return as mysteriously as they departed!

[wise kindle]

The only other thing that might effect it is some kind of mod but not sure what you are running or which one would do this. The game is so weird right now. But hopefully that works for you.

[hearty wedge]

yeah, very weird. My normal server is running a few mods, but when I was testing the fresh new one (with the same bee absence even after about an hour; SP has them start appearing within a few minutes) I disabled everything but the basics.

[celest halo]

Just an FYI patch for unofficial dedicated server has been released (I have not updated to it yet)

[exotic flume]

What patch

Like what is the patch gonna do

[celest halo]

Going to guess it's 31.59, have not downloaded it so not sure on what version number it is

[exotic flume]

Like what is it patching?

[celest halo]

#patch-notes

[potent storm]

is there a way to allow cave building on an unoffical server?

[humble thicket]

on pve ?

[potent storm]

ya

[humble thicket]

AllowCaveBuildingPvE=True add this to gameusersetting.ini

[lone geyser]

Anyone knows how to edit the player level cap?

[potent storm]

ok just didnt see any setting on the nitrado webside

[potent storm]

ty

[humble thicket]

i have no idea i self host but yeah that is the ini setting u will want

[faint fulcrum]

Guys how do I wipe my server( I’m on nitrado)

[rare temple]

General settings there is an option to start with a new save file, its in a drop down. FYI you can select previous saves from there as well.

[exotic flume]

How do I get nitration for Xbox servers

[rare temple]

In the setup page there is a check box for the different platforms.

[exotic flume]

How do I purchase it? I wanna play with friends on an undedicated server without them having to be close to me

[olive talon]

https://server.nitrado.net/en-US/offers/ark-survival-ascended?ram=1024&custom=true&hostingLocation=7

[exotic flume]

Is there anyway I can get it through my Xbox

[olive talon]

Download the nitrado app from the Microsoft store, probably

[round bough]

Dear Stuff,

Please fix the Tethering distance limit. A lot of people are complaining about this and for a good reason!
It’s really not fun to „play“ when you get teleported or thrown off a cliff and die.

So please give us the chance to enjoy this theoretically awesome open world game!🙏

[exotic flume]

Will I have to be close to friends on the map still?

[exotic flume]

Does it affect if you pay the nitrado?

[humble thicket]

no on dedicated servers u dont have tether

[exotic flume]

I'm saying non dedicated, if I wanna play with friends

[humble thicket]

nitrado only sells dedicated servers non dedicated u can host on ur own xbox but ur friends needs to be close to u all the time

[exotic flume]

That's so stupid tf?

Why even have the tether...

[rare temple]

Ask an adult to help you.

[round bough]

That’s why I wrote this 🙂

[humble thicket]

its silly non dedicated has even a tether distance

[exotic flume]

Ik

I wanna be able to be on the other side of the map 😂

[humble thicket]

best is a dedicated server if u dont wanna pay nitrado make ur own server on a old pc laying around

[grim fable]

does some one knows this shit ?

Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION 0x0000000000000000

[austere rune]

my unofficial server is having a weird issue where I can send it rcon commands and they work in-game, but i'm not getting any response to any rcon command from the server. a consequence of this is that i can't set my server up on Battlemetrics. has anyone seen this problem with rcon?

[worn elk]

is undedicated server hosting crossplay yet?

[wise kindle]

No and we dont know if that is planned or not

[worn elk]

they never mentioned it not being cross play its stupid if i can't play with my mates on a private sessions and instead i have to either buy a server for myself to play privately with them or play on online servers

[hallow trench]

anyone know the codes for adjusting player and dino stats

[wise kindle]

Interesting. How long did you test this? How many days?

[old charm]

im having issues op[ening ports

i can local connect though the server browser in game but not externally and now i cant connect with my ps5

[opal osprey]

we haven't had anything move to 50x50 in about 3 weeks now, since i brought my quetz up and we demo'd what ended up looking like a star with vaults and storage boxes and a generator on top

[wise kindle]

Ah ok. We only see it once a week on one map with a very high pop. I can test it tho.

Its a sound theory, agreed. Occupying the spot and keeping it active might work.

Probably try a floating treeplat 50 up, with 10x10 box and a couple wandering dinos.

[old charm]

Is the Dedicated server cross platform?

[old charm]

I followed everything to the letter and i can connect to it via the pc that its on through the ingame server browser, how ever when i try to do it with any other device ( ps5 different computer) it times out

[exotic flume]

Guess I have to get my boyfriend to buy ark on the Microsoft store on his pc so I can have him join my Xbox non-dedicated server

[scarlet ermine]

Anyone figured out how to increase generator limit for custom servers? This 3 in a massive area thing sucks.

[marsh shoal]

Is anyone else having a problem, with increased dino lvls. I have server setup to spawn 300s, but no luck. Anyone else having this problem?

[solemn zephyr]

Make sure you have MaxDifficulty set to False in your game.ini

[marsh shoal]

Thanks

[solemn zephyr]

NP dude. That on true makes your max wild at 150. Stupid carry over setting from SP in my opinion

[vocal ledge]

Does anyone know if there is a command to GIVE ascension to another player, not to ascend yourself but to another player?

[gloomy belfry]

I just spent four days configuring dino levels to be at max 600 and having to balance the dmg rates the resistances and had to use a couple mods to balance the levels out and stuff and configure those aswell. So that it didn't feel too hard or too op.

It's alot of work if you wan't high level dinos but still have some balance.

Nitrado has a page that explains the difficulty offset

its one of the things actually right on their info stuff

[faint fulcrum]

Hi guys I have my own nitrado server it’s a pve server for me and my mates, how would I get the settings as close to small tribes as possible ????

[wise kindle]

There is a setting dropdown, on General page near the top. One of the options is Small Tribes. Could try that.

[faint fulcrum]

Okay I’ll give it a go

[wise kindle]

It might overwrite some of your current settings tho so use with caution.

[faint fulcrum]

Nothing bad could happen tho right ?

[wise kindle]

Its a brand new setting, no idea what it does to other settings. Its Ark, everything can go bad lol.

[faint fulcrum]

@wise kindle I can’t find it

[wise kindle]

Might be for the best unless you have a test map to try it on.

[faint fulcrum]

What could go wrong ? @wise kindle

[wise kindle]

Honestly dont know. I just know it exists. It came into being when Extralife was running.

[faint fulcrum]

Guys what should my official difficulty be? My and my friends play pve

[rich cloak]

The "Issue" has been around since 2014 when ARK was released for PC. "50,50 is located at 0 in engine coordinates, so anything that the game lost track of or cant get a valid location for will end up there, as it cant be nowhere." Suggesting a person should "Block" that location may very well end up in disaster for an un-prepared server admin. A better path to take is to try and find out what is causing the engine to loose track of objects. Less than needed Hardware? a bad performing MOD? a breeding scenario that is out of control? there can be many possibilities. Myself, I strongly recommend against "blocking" the location.

[long badge]

Tell me, have you fixed the host yet?

[winged hinge]

Hey all! I have a couple general questions. I am trying to speed up the gestation time, egg hatch time, maturation time. What settings are you all using? I moved the egg hatch time to 10000, and maturity to 1000, and it seems to stay the same. I lower then to 0.01 and they stay the same.. Is it the higher the number, the faster the times?

ps5 asa nitrado server

[hollow robin]

i have been having the same issue its not changing at all also im having issues with the imprint time not changing i have it set to imprint once and to imprint in 1 min and it stays on 59min i have adjusted this across the board and nothing changes i use beacon to adjust my settings for my xbox nitrado servers and some settings work some dont like i can get all meat to stack except for raw mutton

[rich cloak]

You can search what specific settings do here >> https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

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.

[winged hinge]

Finally someone who feels my pain lol

[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

[winged hinge]

what about egg/gestation speeds?

[rich cloak]

Please specify exactly what setting you mean

[humble thicket]

Is there a way to alter building requirements, so that ceilings can be built further away from foundations?

[rich cloak]

For some MODs, yes, refer to the MOD instructions

[winged hinge]

My gestation period after mating is almost 8 hours for the deinotherium. And the maturity for my rex is crazy slow.

I would like to speed up th gestation times, mating times, egg hatch times, and maturity times.

[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)

[humble thicket]

which mods would work for this please

[hollow robin]

#1167978209246195733

[hollow robin]

can u dm me m8 i have a question

[rich cloak]

I apologize, but I am not interested in more than what information I post in public 😎

[winged hinge]

@rich cloak I have used the settings you have in the game ini, and nothing has changed. And for some reason it keeps rolling back my time. I will log off inside by some air conditioners that I just placed, and when I restart the server it places me outside, and the a/c's are no longer there.

[broken willow]

Anyone else's nitrado server just get extremely laggy?

[rich cloak]

Sounds like an issue with the game saving not a breeding matter

[winged hinge]

So a Nitrado issue lol

[celest halo]

LimitGeneratorsNum= in game ini

[rich cloak]

I can not speak as a Nitrado support person, but they definitely have a clamp on save frequency. AKA once an hour no matter what you set

[winged hinge]

ok. Well thank you for your help. It is nice to know someone is listening. When you google anything anymore all you get it video content that spends 20 minutes begging for likes, comments, and subscriptions. Then they spend 3 minutes NOT answering your questions.

[rich cloak]

Ya, "Saves" = IO load on their disk array, so they have a limit, and mostly it is justified from a business aspect

It kind of sucks for a server Admin

I suggest a complaint to Nitrado about the issue

[hollow robin]

for role backs and such i set my save interval to every 5 min and that seemed to help a lot if i get any role backs its only a min or so

[rich cloak]

Thats works for you on Nitrado?

[hollow robin]

ya m8 tryn to get them to answerer anything is a joke and ya thats what i use and it helps alot any higher and i get 10 to 20 min rollbacks

[rich cloak]

@low haven I want to see the Almighty Viking slay a Dragon like I use to long ago!

[polar bloom]

for faster mating, like if i want them to be able to mate every 4 hours real time do i need to adjust 'matingintervalmultiplier'?

[pure seal]

hey does anyone know how to set up advanced ark settings for a undedicated server for more torpor on myself and tamed dinosaurs"? My dinosaurs always get unconsious so easily no matter how strong they are and so do i and it lasts forever. someone please let me know

[young minnow]

if you want it to save sooner, you need to use the command cheat saveworld whilst in game

[random tendon]

anyone know some good unofficial asa servers

[young minnow]

Huh, never got this to work. This just in general settings or specific ini file?

[rich cloak]

Same for me, i tested and tested on Nitrado when I had a server there, and their over ride always prevented the auto save frequency setting from happening

[worn elk]

anyone got news on non dedi crossplay?

[pliant ocean]

anyone able to set custom player levels successfully?

[young minnow]

Seems to not be possible at the moment sadly. I have tried several times and still capped at 135

[wispy yarrow]

Hi, would there be any tech, lag issues with making crafting points op on character xp points? ie making it so that say 2 points into crafting is lets say %1500? Tired of mindwipes on top of respawning for bugs/glitches etc.

[wise kindle]

Should be fine. Mine is at 1000x and its fine,

[wispy yarrow]

Nice! Thank you

[modern pelican]

Is there a way to make it so that dinos can still breed while offline? It looks like if i'm offline, they wont' breed until i log back on

[stiff cape]

Any work around to get non native saddles onto the island?

[rich cloak]

As a server admin, I always make sure that offline breeding will not happen, as the server can experience BreedSplosion situations. With that said, investigate the "Stasis" settings

[ruby merlin]

How many hours do u think would be a good setting for a dino wipe I have it set every 3 but think that might be too much

[distant hearth]

thats way to high imo, when i ran servers did did them once a week unless special circumstances

[rich cloak]

I only wipe manually and only when required due to some setting change etc

[ruby merlin]

Yeah I thought as much 2 but I heard a regular wipe can increase beaver dam chances ppl are complaining only 1 spawning ever in 1 spot

So should I up it to each 24 hours

[rich cloak]

I would suggest in that case that you review where people have placed feeding troughs that have very large coverage

[ruby merlin]

Yeah there is non built around it triple checked already

Only 1 dam per a spot

[pliant ocean]

check away from the water, we found them in trees

[ruby merlin]

Only ever 2 beavers spawn at a spot 2

Checked tree lines rocks harvested rocks around the area

Increased spawn times on radius

Increased spawn dino level to double no change

[rich cloak]

Ya, the flying tree beavers are very scary

[ruby merlin]

Even lowered the radius of structure spawning incase of a building to close I can't see to 0.3

[distant hearth]

the beavers are a big issue on asa tbh, suggest people dont kill them and if u run the server manually spawn in some wild ones

[ruby merlin]

Have a feeling ill be doing it every couple of hours on the server but yeah I wanted a more perm solution

Ok ty guys for the info

[modern pelican]

If it's a memory thing, i'm not worried, i have up to 512gb of ram available for usage. We also only have 4 people max on at a time. Is this a new ASA setting? or will i find it under old ASE settings?

[distant hearth]

theres easier ways to get cp an rare flowers

[ruby merlin]

I can see a few mods that would help for sure but I don't like to make it too easy for ppl I might just custom a cheaper recipe then the 1 in them bench and pestle

But u know servers like to play games when u mess like that

[distant hearth]

frogs and insects for cp, theris an swamp for flowers, no mods needed just know how the game works

id bet people moaning bout the dams are used to maps like ragnarock where they get loads super easy

[echo cypress]

anyone having problems with mods
they are all invalid for me

[rich cloak]

More beaver! NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Microraptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Beaver_Character_BP_C") NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Pegomastax_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Beaver_Character_BP_C")

[distant hearth]

lol love it, them dam things are the bane of any ark player

[shut kestrel]

Anyone know how to fix host connection timeout?

On PS5

[cloud sorrel]

our server is filthy with dams on rivers in the south

[rich cloak]

Ya I have a lot of beavers on both ASA Island & Svart maps

[frosty dawn]

I'm starting to get really angry at how many frigging crashes I'm getting either from going through a vault or smithy to fast or not squinting at the right time... or by just existing in the same and moving and the game descides now is the perfect time for another crash. I got a 3080ti and 32 gigs of dd5 and a M.2 hdd. It's not the best pc out but it handels everything else fine. Anyone got suggestions for the crashes?

[distant hearth]

someone mentioned that dlss was having issues with the game, not tried disabling it yet but will tommorow as also crashing alot in similar situations

[rich cloak]

Start by rolling the Nvidia drivers back to 545.92

Turn off RTX/Frame generation if you have it on

[frosty dawn]

ok cool.. i will trey all that if i can

[rich cloak]

There are also Video settings that should be reduced to Medium or maybe lower

[frosty dawn]

dosent DLSS help with frams though etc

ie it's better to have it on

[rich cloak]

Normally yes, but this is Early Access, it will be a long road to optimization of the games video

[frosty dawn]

ok yeah.. that sounds fair. Just did it and will give it a try. Most of my crashes are looking through vaults lol

[rich cloak]

There is a Menu transition setting some where, turn that off

Under UI / Left side / Disable Menu transitions = ON

[frosty dawn]

what does that even do.. menu transisitions?

you know what? I miss the days when you would mouse over a graphic setting/ui setting and they would have a nice tooltip that told you what it did. Hint hint wildcard

[swift breach]

I’m on ps5 and for some reason I can’t join my Xbox friends unofficial server and I have password protected filter box ticked and he’s said he enabled ps5 to the sever.

[woeful shale]

how do I join my pc friends and vise versa from xbox ?

[frail ferry]

Are rockets fixed yet? The glitch

[upbeat marten]

Well even after the patch today, PVE DECAY TIMER is resetting after each server restart smh even after today patch this issues is still there, Timer still reseting after server restart..(nitrado)

[snow quail]

@broken willow yeah, at around 6pm uk. Tried server restart and a wild dino wipe. It's not as often but every now and again it spikes to 255 ping

[violet tide]

Is there a way to get breeding/gestating to happen even if we're not in render distance?

[native wave]

ini settings are on the mod page, insert them into the GUS.ini

[dim vessel]

your torpor drain multiplier probably set to 0

[violet spoke]

How do I allow foreign Dino’s on my server like spawn them in

[snow quail]

I've been running a nitrado server for since xbox launch but yesterday it started getting very bad lag spikes, tried wild dino wipe and server restart. It seemed to have fixed it but did get one 255 ping spike after. Any other people having similar issue. Or is it just nitrado servers having a wobble?

[ruby merlin]

i tried this it stopped all beaver from spawning

[sick perch]

Hi i'm having trouble on my server getting items like forges to be auto locked. Is this something I'm doing wrong with the code? Thanks in advance

[vagrant ledge]

If you mean modded dinos then all you should need to do is add the mod, but do a dinowipe to force new spawns

[violet spoke]

Non mod Dino’s

[vagrant ledge]

What dino is it?

[violet spoke]

Griffins & manas etc

[vagrant ledge]

well for those you need mods to add them in

Anything not native to the island is a moded dino even if its an official dino

[rich cloak]

Are you running any Creature MODs?

[ruby merlin]

2 ark additions

But that's it

[rich cloak]

When you add foreign creatures it can seriously break spawns, the creature spawns in ASA right now are not exactly stable

As an example, Maewings on the Island almost stop Allosauris spawns completely

[ruby merlin]

Yeah but beavers spawn without that line I'll remove the mods not like I'm actually using any of the dino

[rich cloak]

Keep in mind that ASA is still early access / still in development

On the Svarta MOD Map, beaver spawns are rampent

[sick perch]

Does anyone know if ForceAllStructureLocking code works on ASA or is there an updated code now. Thanks

[rich cloak]

It does work, but only on structures placed after it is enabled

[sick perch]

Thanks very much. I will test this to see if I'm doing it correct. 👍

[sick perch]

Also my backups in ASA on nitrado only seem to be saving on a 2 hour interval. Is there a way I can get it back to approx every 15 mins like our ASE ones do. Last question I promise lol

[rich cloak]

No clue for Nitrado

[sick perch]

Thanks anyway 👍👍

[rich cloak]

I suppose you could script an FTP job

[peak sapphire]

AutoSavePeriodMinutes=15 in gameusersettings. You’ll know it’s working because it will be in the log files.

[sick perch]

Thanks, that's the code I'm using but it's only showing me 2 hour intervals in the drop down menu for (start with backup). So maybe it is saving but them saves are in a different section is it? Thanks

[sick perch]

Thanks I just checked. It is saving on 15 min intervals in the log . Only thing I need to work out is how to load them saves in nitrado lol🙈

[peak sapphire]

@sick perch I’ve just checked myself and see exactly what you’re seeing. Despite the game saving every 15 mins, back ups are ~2 hours. It’s similar on my ASE server with the game saving every 15 mins but the backups on there are every half hour.

Probably better to ask Nitrado directly as to why the back ups are every 2 hours and not 30 mins like on ASE. 30 mins is still better than 2 hours.

[umbral sable]

Any one know how to enable tribe alliances on a PvP server? I turned prevent tribe alliance to false and it still doesn’t work

[peak sapphire]

If you have offline raid protection on, alliances won’t work regardless of setting.

[umbral sable]

Thank you it’s been driving me nuts trying to fix it ❤️

[peak sapphire]

Ran into that problem several years ago on ASE. Scratching my head for hours lol

[quaint pollen]

having an issue on ASA nitrado where the server seems to pause if no one is on - causing breeding to stop - anyone experienced this?

[rich cloak]

It is called "Stasis" and is a normal function of the Unreal Engine, I suggest searching and reading about it

[pliant ocean]

anyone figure out how to set custom player levels? Or set a cap on dino stats?

[quaint pollen]

Yeah think we're going to have to find a hitch post mod

[humble thicket]

I'm trying to remove the titan on my ASA server. I added "NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Titanosaur_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")" to the usersettings.ini, restarted the server and did a dino wipe. admin scan says there's still 2 of them. What am I missing?

[glad bane]

i am running an unoffical server, i have the setting turned so i can create alliances in my server, but when i try to in game to make alliance i can type the name of it but when i click accept it simply does nothing at all, can anyone help me? not sure if its a bug or im just missing something

[olive talon]

Do you have offline raid protection enabled,

[glad bane]

yes

[olive talon]

That is why.

[glad bane]

ok thank you

[olive talon]

ORP and alliances cannot work together

[rich cloak]

That belongs in the game.ini

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Game.ini

[humble thicket]

Ahh I'll try that, thanks

[lone geyser]

Anyone knows why my tamed female dinos dont lay unfertilized eggs? or the code to edit this

[native stag]

Hello guyz, is there a way to actualy open a cluster on ASA with ASM or any other app ?

[dusky thistle]

No. The game doesn't acknowledge the cluster commands as of right now, even if they're put in, as far as I am aware.

[native stag]

so sad

[gusty quest]

Have they said when crossark on nitrado will be up for ASA?

[dusky thistle]

Are they mate boosted and you hanging around the area? They won't lay eggs if in stasis and only have a chance to lay eggs every 17~ minutes if mate boosted. Ovi increase this, and there's an ini setting to shorten the interval.

[low dew]

@gusty quest when scorch earth releases

[native stag]

because as for now the island and svartalfheim could work together

[gusty quest]

Was that an official statement? Cuz that's kinda rough...

[native stag]

this is then very far away

[lone geyser]

mate boosted means a male around the female? whats the ini setting for this?

[low dew]

Well unfortunately wild card don't give a lol

So March will we will cross ark travel

Unless they decide to change it

[dusky thistle]

Yes. And config is LayEggIntervalMultiplier=x
in game.ini, lower means faster eggs.

[lone geyser]

Okay thanks buddy

[median ingot]

dumb question but can anyone tell me how to update the curseforge mods on a server, i tried stopping the server and readding the mods. they still say out of date but updates are available

[zenith willow]

Will there be some way to upgrade a ASE dedicated server to ASA at some point in time ? or is that not anything that is likely/possible to happen ?

[faint fulcrum]

Anyone got a good pve server ?

[late estuary]

With hosting on Nitrado, how do we activate events for the holiday and such? I remember seeing a drop down for something but wasn't certain it was for holiday events. For ASA

[dusky thistle]

It's something they'll have to add in to the config. Currently theres not one and no way to directly edit the launch command line to force it either.

[dusky thistle]

Doubt it. Two totally separate games for all intents and purposes.

[late estuary]

Aw boo

[rich cloak]

Events on ASA will be MODs

[late estuary]

Still trying to figure out which mods to use on ours.

[rich cloak]

You mean Upgrade the Save files, that is very doubtful

[rich cloak]

"Curseforge: implies an ASA server, Mods are placed on the start command line, and are automatically updated on a server start/restart

[dusky thistle]

I rem hearing that on EL stream but that means they're gonna just push mods to official as well?

[rich cloak]

No idea, but using MODs for events makes a lot of sense, as the code base then does not need to be patched

[sick perch]

Is there a way to implement bans on players who are no longer in the game. It seems to be harder to do on ASA unless I'm missing something obvious.

[dusky thistle]

Yea not disagreeing with the approach. Pushing and pulling a mod call seems a much better approach. Just curious if it was extending to official.

[rich cloak]

Good question, I know their player profile which shoould be on the server, is named as their EOS ID, but the WIKI information only references Steam IDs

I am going to guess, if you know which profile they own, use the ban command on that id string

[sick perch]

Cheers Grabby.very helpful as always 👍 I've got a pic of the player with their profile names so I will try to do something along the lines with your suggestion.

[rich cloak]

you can open a profile file from ASA with Notepad++, and search for "PlayerCharacterName", and soon after that you can find their char name

Also if they are a Steam player, search for "PlayerName" and you will find their full steam name

[brisk sphinx]

Hi! Does anyone know how to connect directly to an asa server?

I was playing with some friends on a server but it doesn't appears anymore in my server browser 😦 but they are playing there

[median ingot]

i read that, but i stopped the server and restarted it and the new items for the mod are still not showing. i'll try again though. ty for answering 🙂

[plucky lance]

anyone having the issue with breeding times being stuck to 8 hours.? Been playing around with the ini's all day now and no matter what I change it does nothing

[rich cloak]

Have you verified you are placing them in the correct INI file and have not duplicated existing lines?

[plucky lance]

yeah deleted all the lines moved to the top of Game.ini and nothing

tried copying the ini's from the gamefolder yesterday which worked for maturation times etc but broke a whole load of other stuff so had to reload the database and game from a backup

[rich cloak]

what lines do you feel are not working

[plucky lance]

tried prefixing with "bPvE" "b" putting them back in order and still nothing

[plucky lance]

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

these here which are the same as what you posted earlier

[celest halo]

You checking with new dinos, some exciting timers don't get updated with config changes

[plucky lance]

yeah been doing that also

[rich cloak]

Well all of those settings are working for me

[plucky lance]

yeah im clutching at straws at the moment

are you in PvP or PvE?

[rich cloak]

I am PvE only and Steam only

You are saying none of those are working as expected?

[plucky lance]

yeah mating takes around a minute maturation take 7 hours 55 mins

[rich cloak]

Mating is not covered in those settings

In the same INI section MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.01 MatingSpeedMultiplier=4

[plucky lance]

will change that now and see if they work

but either way with "BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50" it shouldnt be taking 8 hours for maturation which is weird

almost like the server is ignoring the ini

[rich cloak]

Mature is dependant on the creature

[solemn zephyr]

Just get beacon and it'll dial breeding in for you down to the second

It also will make sure you don't have duplicates and your inis are in the correct places for you 🙂

[rich cloak]

And also costs a chunk of cash

[rare temple]

Not for breeding ini settings

[plucky lance]

what have you got for hatch time?

[solemn zephyr]

The breeding multiplier section is not pay walled.

[rich cloak]

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=50

[robust junco]

Is it possible to get svartalfheim to work on nitrado?

[rich cloak]

Yes

[plucky lance]

thanks for the help

[robust junco]

Can you help me I put it on my mod list and set my map to custom then under custom map name I put Svartalfheim and it never shows on the list

[rich cloak]

Svartalfheim_Wp

[robust junco]

Ty

[rich cloak]

also, in the line where all of the MOD IDs are shown, make sure that the map is the very first MOD ID in the line

[robust junco]

Does the dwarven builder mod go with it or is that a separate thing that's not needed?

Be aware, the creator is changing the Map by splitting it in 2 seperate maps very soon, one PC only and one Crossplay

Builder mod is seperate

[robust junco]

Does the svartalf mod already have its own building or is it normal ark building?

[rich cloak]

the MAP only includes standard building objects

[plucky lance]

this works but the hatch/maturation speed is still broken

[rich cloak]

try with fresh eggs

[fading timber]

is there an INI for reducing the CD for boss arenas

[plucky lance]

just did then had 2 basils mate

not egg but should still work for mammals no?

or is gestation a seperate setting

[robust junco]

And I think they have already done a crossplay one because that's what I've been using. Do you know if there's a discord for it and how to join?

[rich cloak]

Yes there is a discord, get the join link from MOD page on Curse forge

Click the Wiki link on the MOD page

[plucky lance]

is gestation decided by egghatchspeed then?

or do I need another line in the ini along the lines of "gestationspeedmultiplier =x"

[rich cloak]

Ask yourself, what does Gestation mean?

[plucky lance]

so yes then, either way it's still doing nothing

[rich cloak]

Gestation involves live born

Hatch is eggs

the game rolls both in to hatch

[plucky lance]

yeah I get that it was the same with evolved

hatch speed for me rn though is doing nothing I can set it to 10000 and it still take 8 hours to gestate a basil

[solemn zephyr]

Scran, post up all you have right now for breeding and I'll take a look at what's missing for ya'

[plucky lance]

will do thanks man

[rich cloak]

How are you Incubating?

[plucky lance]

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=100
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.010416667
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=25
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=2
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.01
MatingSpeedMultiplier=4
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=50

[plucky lance]

in a basilosaurs belly

its the same with megatheriums aswell

[solemn zephyr]

With that, a giga will:

• incubate in 59m 59s
• Mature in 4h52m46s
• Having a mating cooldown of 10m48s to 28m482
• Need 3 imprints
• Imprint every 5 minutes

If you're not seeing exactly that, I'd guess a mod is interfering.

[plucky lance]

which would be great just that none of it seems to work 😦

thats a good idea will try remove some mods

[rich cloak]

ya my next question is if you are using any creature mods

[solemn zephyr]

I would check for duplicates like Grabby mentioned earlier.

If dupes, the lower one will take effect on server.

[plucky lance]

ascended additions

[rich cloak]

ugh, those mods are causing problems all across the board for people lol

sorry to say that, but true

[plucky lance]

cool will have a look into those

its probably the only thing im yet to try

[rich cloak]

I think a big problem for any creature mods in ASA right now, is the spawn containers are not working as expected

I do not see how that affects breeding, but I am not a DEV for the game

[plucky lance]

yeah I get that

it does seem weird tho how everything is capped for me at 07:55:00

like something is causing it thats overwriting the ini

[rich cloak]

check for dupe lines

[plucky lance]

yeah its 100% not a duplication error been through using ctrl f for them all

[rich cloak]

not sure what else to tell ya, all the lines I posted work as expected for me

[plucky lance]

removed mods still 8 hours

[rare temple]

Some of the numbers will not change on existing items, they would need to be fresh after the ini change is made.

[plucky lance]

yeah I've been re breeding 2 basils

[pseudo relic]

On my server the wild dino's are hitting me extremly HARD,

What could have cause this ?

[rich cloak]

They all got a new gym membership?

[hollow parrot]

Hey guys quick question, how would I go about getting the Lord of the rings mod? And or that mod that allows you to put wings on your character?

[plucky lance]

fixed the issue for anyone wondering the extra life event was screwing me

[celest halo]

dynamic config usage will do that

[frank siren]

Going to try and make this as easy to understand as I possibly can.

I have 0 mods installed. 368 GB of available space on my PS5. Our Nitrado server profile under the CurseForge page shows we've got 3.4 GB out of 10 GB worth of mods on it. So why when I go to our own server does it tell me I have 2.86 GB of available space? I have deleted all save data off the console, photos, clips, and unnecessary games/apps. So I have no clue how I could possibly have only 2.86 GB for this.

[wise kindle]

PS has a TON of bugs right now but, is this stopping you from performing some task in some way?

Or am I reading this wrong and its stopping you from downloading mods?

[frank siren]

This is stopping me from downloading the necessary mods to access our own server.

[ornate marlin]

has anyone used ark server managers in order to setup their servers if so could you please dm me as im struggling with an RCON error

[wise kindle]

ah, yeah mate idk. The only thing I can suggest is adding an external or maybe resetting your PS - if nothing else works. I dont have a PS so havent run into this issue. I play on Xbox and it clears space like it is supposed to. Not sure if this is really related to the game tho. Sounds like its a PS issue.

by resetting I mean resetting to factory and redownloading your games

I assume you fully shutdown the box and restarted, so see if the space resets?

[celest halo]

Is it a big mod, I seen something about where ps cannot download mods over 2gig

[frank siren]

I told you this would be hard to explain. Lol

• Our consoles have 300-400 GB of available space on them.

• We have 0 mods installed.

• Nitrado says the server uses 3.4 GB for current mods.

If we're allotted 10 GB for the server/solo play and I have 368 GB free on my console, then why is Ark telling me I only get 2.86 GB for downloading mods? Where's the rest of my 10? I have no save data for the game at all now. So where is this supposed data?

[cerulean spruce]

What is up with having to update every single time I get on my server?

[frank egret]

the server your on probably has a mod or something thats not up to date so its updating to the mod version that the server is running

[carmine shoal]

Has there been any mention of a timeline for server transfers yet officially?

[empty crown]

Time is all at once.

[hollow robin]

does anybody know of a way to shut off the slow frame detected pop up

[hollow robin]

the mods that are being updated are having problems cf mods page is having issues

there are a lot of servers that are having the issue of constantly updating

[frank egret]

had that issue with mine, just restarted it and let the mod update and was good to go

a good rul eof thumb is have your servers restart at least once a day

yep, modders getting the hang fo the new engine while having to deal with wc constantly updating and breaking stuff

then you got nitrado that is also gonna try to make it a pain for those of us using our own equipment

[empty crown]

thats why your here.

[frank egret]

oh theres been plenty of issues with self hosting lol

like the fact this last server update wasnt available to us for almost a week after officials got it

[empty crown]

the offical servers use very little mods. extra work needed to be done on the update that was for private servers.

[frank egret]

it is cuz then the mods are tweaked for the new server patch and it gets messed up with those of us running the older version

then ive noticed nitrado private servers get stuff before the rest of us as well

[empty crown]

I would suggest you study all physics.

[winter iron]

Hello Everyone, This would really help if anyone has ran into this issue. I tried setting HP for player settings in ASA on nitrado. For some reason the Stats revert to low stats. Ex. I set hp to 5,000hp and reverts back to 500hp

[empty crown]

for free.

[frank egret]

make sure its in the right settings

[winter iron]

if your refering to me. I have. I've cleared all cache and restarted fresh from ini. files online etc still just resets. Even made sure in the nitrado setting in dashboard etc are correct.

[frank egret]

which setting are you using to change it?

[winter iron]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[0]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[1]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[2]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[3]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[4]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[5]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[6]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[8]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[9]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[10]=10

no

[frank egret]

ok and putting a lvl into the stat isnt giving u what you want?

[winter iron]

it does give me what i want but eventually resets down to basic low stats as if it were offical im assuming

[frank egret]

there might be a hard cap on attributes, is it resetting when the server updates?

[winter iron]

is x10 just too high

[frank egret]

thats subjective lol, all depends on how your trying to run your server

[winter iron]

i was on the same track but couldn't get any confirmation if this was the case

no more then x10 anything else basically crashes me and others

[frank egret]

could try setting it lower and changing you affinity to compensate

[winter iron]

didn't even realize to change the affinity. i will try this tyvm

[frank egret]

yea so affinity is gonna change the base line of the attributes

[winter iron]

everywhere just basically told me to leave those settings alone

[frank egret]

its ark, trial and error is the name of the game lol

[winter iron]

true true

[frank egret]

in ase it would take me about a week just to get everything semi dialed in the way i wanted it to work, asa is the same way

even then not all servers worked the same with the same settings its kinda odd

[winter iron]

yea, its been about 5days since i purchased the server so im still dealing with minor issues as well

[frank egret]

it could also be a nitrado problem

[winter iron]

ugh, i hope not. lol

[frank egret]

theyre a huge reason for the push back about using your own hardware

theyre servers just suck

the only advantage you have using them is the fact you get a gui instead of running everything on batch files

nitrado is also the reason we dont have linux support as well

[winter iron]

So i may have found the issue, are there suppose to be player settings twice? i have the same code for player under script/shooter game and under, shooter gamemode_tempoverrides

[frank egret]

delete the temp overrides

if it repopulates itself then id just make both sections match just to be sure its constant

[winter iron]

so far seems to be matched but still deleting.

Is there a site that show or explains the base stats in numbers. ex. HP=0.15x stat mulitpliers x 10 etc.

[frank egret]

yea the wiki

[winter iron]

k ty.

[low merlin]

I am having an issue with Ark Survival Evolved. I apologize in advance because I am not sure where to post. My friend and I once played Xbox and Microsoft versions together. We can't play anymore and I noticed that we have different versions of the game. Is that the issue? Is the game not being supported on the Microsoft pc version anymore?

[wise kindle]

It should be, ensure you both have the latest updates. A version mismatch will cause these kinds of issues.

[low merlin]

Microsoft has no updates. My buddy on Xbox has the newer version so I know I am the problem.

[wise kindle]

Win10 updates are usually behind on ASE, might take a day or so to get it unfortunately.

[frank egret]

didnt know they were still updating ASE

[low merlin]

I have Win11. He is .6 and I am .5

[hallow trench]

anyone know the coding for gameini to adjust player dino stats on nitrado?

[frank egret]

check the wiki

[tired vessel]

Has anyone found a way in ASA to allow players to upload things to an Obelisk/Tek Transmitter without enabling transfer from single player? I'm tempted to play with the old ASE cluster settings to see if I can force transfers to use a clusterfiles path to achieve that on a single server (not a real cluster). Anyone do any testing on this or find another work-around yet?

[left vale]

Hi, I run a server for my friends and they often don't play for days. Can I adjust food drain on tamed dinos in a way that they don't starve/don't need to be fed? Of course I want food drain happening on wild dinos in order to tame them.

TamedDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0?

[hallow trench]

yes i checked the page and couldn't find anything

[peak sapphire]

I have this set to 0.1 and can confirm it doesn’t effect wild dinos

[dire quartz]

Our ASA unofficial server in Taiwan has been experiencing network crashes. As long as it is turned on for a period of time, the router will crash. It has been receiving a large number of packets. Is there a way to solve this problem?

[frank egret]

[peak sapphire]

Check towards bottom of the page

[frank egret]

its iin its own section

[hallow trench]

Will do! thank you!

[marsh elm]

Mating speed multiplier where do I find that

[rich cloak]

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

[solemn zephyr]

Just get beacon and let it do the work for you. Link is in the pinned comments

[trail plank]

Will we still be able to turn on the Christmas gacha claus event in the Survival Evolved unofficial servers?

[woeful sun]

Do events auto kick in on nitrade servers?

[frank egret]

on any private server they have to be enabled

[woeful sun]

So i have a server and have the option ticked for events and small tribes rates will a new event pop up on nitrado?

[frank egret]

most likely

[old charm]

I can not get the server to accept ps5 players. What am i missing. ive blown all my firewalls WIDE open theres 0 things blocking between the server and the internet. Can someone help me please? I can not find any answer online at all.

[spice epoch]

Anyone else’s launcher super tiny now lmao

[marsh elm]

I can’t see it asked can someone please tell me how toi access admin on ps5

Do I need to adjust nitrado in any way

[rich cloak]

[woeful sun]

battleye?

[old charm]

Even with battle eye on they still can't connect

[rich cloak]

Is this a NON-Dedicated server?

[long badge]

have you fixed the host?

[old charm]

No its a dedicated one set up like the pinned instructions and i can log into it with multiple devices on my network except my ps5 and no one can connect through the game browser in ark but its seen

Can someone with a ps5 try to log into "ARK #827998" It has the battle eye but no password

[ionic idol]

So I’m trying to set up a dedicated server to play on xbox. I got the server up and running but now I’m trying to get the setting and rates I want. All the advice I have found is to just copy and paste the single player file onto the GameUserSettings.ini, but since I am playing on Xbox, I obviously can’t copy and paste onto the server file.

Also when looking through the server folder, there is no Game.ini so I don’t have access to changing the rates.

If anyone can:

Help me with why there is no Game.ini and/or

Provide their own quality single player settings for me to copy and paste that are good for people with lives who still wanna beat the Ark (preferably around 50% vanilla) and/or

Link somewhere that has the console commands to change listed (if its possible to change rates through console commands) so I know what to type in and/or

Has any other helpful information keeping in mind I know almost absolutely nothing about setting up a server or how any of this back end file stuff works

It would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

[lucid solstice]

If you go to syntac discord he has game.ini and gus.ini prebuilds, you can take those and make edits to them

[ionic idol]

@rich cloak the problem is that we don’t have a game.ini file to copy it into.

The game.ini is not there

[whole crypt]

How do I verify my account for the extra points?😁

[sturdy moss]

Is there a way to make levels patlst 150 in ASA

[cloud sorrel]

start a single player set the setting you wan in the games settings start the game make a charecter then copy the single player game.ini to the server folder

[pure plover]

If you're still looking for an answer, OverrideOfficialDifficulty={Any number greater than 5} will give higher wild level spawns

Wild creatures in ARK pick a base level 1-30, and that number is multiplied by the difficulty modifier, hence standard difficulty of 5 gives a level range of 5-150 with 5 level intervals, overriding to 6 for example would give wild creatures a level range of 6-180 with 6 level intervals instead

[ionic idol]

This is so brutal - can anyone help why console commands aren’t working. Don’t know wtf I’m doing and spent the last 5 hours successfully setting up a dedicated server and overcoming the problems faced through that long journey.
Now, the last problem I face is console commands not working, I know the correct admin password is being used to enable cheats but nothing has worked yet. I have also tried moving the admin password to the end of the batch arguments and that didn’t work. Can anyone help?

[near snow]

Chek in gameusersetings.ini and make sure the admin password you set is there as well

[ionic idol]

It is

We’ve been trying to trouble shoot for like 3 hours now 😂

We just want to play 😩😩

[rich cloak]

Make sure that "ServerAdminPassword=" is in the "[ServerSettings]" section of the GUS, and make sure it is there only one time , and remove it from the startup batch

Also, verify you have no leading or trailing space in what you typed

[ionic idol]

Yea all that is done, one copy, under server settings, no argument in the batch file

[rich cloak]

Is this on Nitrado or self hosted?

[ionic idol]

Self hosted

[rich cloak]

and in the in game console you put EnableCheats SuperSeekritPassword

[ionic idol]

Yes sir

[rich cloak]

then try cheat fly

[ionic idol]

Yea not working

The line in gameusersettings reads ServerAdminPassword=ABC and I am putting everything in exactly as you typed it

[rich cloak]

Hmm well that works just fine on my PC only dedicated server

[ionic idol]

Yea, not sure what else to do

The main reason for needing admin commands is to destroy wild Dino’s after editing the Game.ini for max level Dino’s, Do you think it would work to delete the server files and re-do everything but add the Game.ini file before loading up the server so that everything loads the level we want and we can just play from there?

[rich cloak]

using an Admin file may work for you

ASA does NOT use Steam IDs! use "cheat ListPlayers" in the console to get player IDs to use
Add to the GUS ini, Note that the path and file name is specific to MY server setup for one of my servers.
I can not help with the correct path needed for a Nitrado Server

[ServerSettings]
AdminListURL="file://C:\\ARK\\config\\AdminListVDG1.txt"

haha, just realized my directions include the need to use a console cheat command

You can search the "Profile Files" to find your EOS string also

The name of the profile file, is the EOS ID string.
You can open the profile file from ASA with Notepad++, and search for "PlayerCharacterName", and soon after that you can find their IGN.
Also if they are a Steam player, search for "PlayerName" and you will find their full steam name.

[indigo violet]

Can someone point me in a direction on where this is located Ark data downloads? We had someone hack our server today and we are checking all areas possible.

[ionic idol]

I’m gonna be totally honest I don’t know what any of that means, I just started this server, if you asked me what an argument was in a line of text I would have no idea three hours ago. Honestly I don’t have a clue what any of that is asking me to do, sorry

[lament mist]

search for your local files of the game and you can find it in the gameuser settings. there will be i think it was 3 or 4 option in the serversettings that shows ''preventdownloadsurvirvors'' . and a setting with prevent download items and dinos. change it to true so as example PreventDownloadSurvivors=True then other people cant join your server and gcm there or up/download op dinos into your server. change the download items and dinos to true too.

[rich cloak]

The default location for download data is "ShooterGame\Saved\clusters", but with ASA not being fully enabled for cross-ark it could be some other place

[indigo violet]

Thank you. Both.

[versed rock]

Anyone know how to do ark Nitrado server settings for pve

[wind pivot]

What is it you want to know?

[lunar cloud]

Have drops (air drops) in ASA become completely nerfed ? Or you all running any INI settings to improve them ?
I feel like they were OP, then nerfed slightly, but are now way worse, almost on ASE level

[low dew]

i ust changed them to random

and it works fine for me

though i am having a issue im stumped on it would seem that tames cause resources not to respawn as ive had the server up since day one and now it seems resources are not spawning closer to structures like i had it set in the ini to anyone have any thoughts

[kindred meteor]

Can someone send me a 'standard' ini to set up my server for xbox? Appreciate it

[peak sapphire]

Haven’t tames always acted the same way that structures do but there wasn’t a separate setting for it? I’d advise lowering the value until you find something that works. If lowering the value does nothing, then you can rule out the setting be the problem.

[low dew]

the value is currently 0.4

which is pretty low and its just weird its all of a suden

[rich cloak]

Feeeding Trough

[low dew]

OH i never thought of that wouldent it fall under a structure??

[rich cloak]

They are a common issue, and some have a very large range

They have their own range, seperate of structure

[low dew]

that is so stupid

[rich cloak]

I use a MOD trough, and dial the range way down, and then use multiple to cover the area I want to cover

Specifically because of that problem

Many people use the MOD troughs, and dial them up to MAX range, and do not realize what they just did

[low dew]

yeah im gonna dial it down and see i got aa trough

[rich cloak]

AA is one of the worst for that problem lol

I mean it is a good trough! but user beware! haha

If you want to troll people, build above a cave, and set the AA trough to MAX, and stop all cave spawns lol

[low dew]

yea thanks for helping me with that it was weird

omg

[rich cloak]

I should not have revealed that lol

[low dew]

@rich cloakwelp lowerd the range and guess what all respwaned

[rich cloak]

I know Admins that block that trough in the Engrams, because of the problems they can cause by people setting the trough too high

[rich cloak]

Thats great!

[low dew]

your my hero you big mustached god

[rich cloak]

I am just another Bob

[native wave]

They definitely have been nerfed since the launch of pc....I initially had them at 3....turned them down to 1 because they were far too good. I recently pushed it back up to 3...

[sturdy moss]

I should have specified player levels that is my bad

[dusky thistle]

It doesnt work correctly. You still hardstop at 135. If you change level ramping and GiveExp it will show you have 200/300 whatever levels to distribute, but once you hit 135 it just ends.

So all it would do would be to shortcut the levels for ascension/notes. Getting those after hitting 135 via override doesnt raise it again.

[north escarp]

Any news when we will be able to cluster with non official maps

I have nitrado

[wise kindle]

March is the most likely date

[native wave]

I'd just like to run a second server as a mod testing server, but the game's refusal to use ports other than standard is preventing that

I can wait for clusters to arrive, but the ports issue is huge for me right now

[rich cloak]

I run 2 instances on the same VM with no port issues

[native wave]

I can't login to my second server....when I try I get nothing but invalid password because it's hitting my live server...even though they both show up in the server list

[rich cloak]

What ports are you using and where are you specifying those ports

[native wave]

7799-7800, 27061 for rcon....in line with the other servers I run

[rich cloak]

Using the GUS ini

Server 1

[ServerSettings]
RconEnabled=True
RCONPort=28015

[SessionSettings]
Port=7777
QueryPort=27015
SessionName=XXXX


Server 2

[ServerSettings]
RconEnabled=True
RCONPort=28017

[SessionSettings]
Port=7779
QueryPort=27017
SessionName=XXXX  ```

Always always allow 2 ports for each

[native wave]

yes, in the command line and in the GUS.ini of both. I don't include a query port as it is not necessary for ASA

[rich cloak]

do not use both, use the INI only is my suggestion

[native wave]

server 1: 7777-77778, 27050
server 2: 7799-7800, 27061

[rich cloak]

and of course you checked / verified the Firewall 6 times right?

[native wave]

did what I've been doing for my ase cluster, but I can give it a try

firewall has been checked an additional time, just to be sure

firewall has entries for the game ports (+1) and ASE Query ports

[random saffron]

Anyone know how to keep structures and storage containers from auto-locking on restart?

[native wave]

ForceAllStructureLocking should be set to False by default, you may have an entry in your GUS.ini overriding that

[random saffron]

Is that the settings that's allowing structures to actually lock? Or is that a different setting

I only ask because I remember certain structures just being unlocked at release.

[native wave]

that forces structures to lock by default....though I thought that carried settings over reboots

so when you place a structure it is locked by default. if you change that it should persist

[wise kindle]

Ah thats not my experience

That setting when set to True locks structures on placement and then allows you to manually unlock them. With this set to True they do not relock on reset.

The only exception to this are modded structures, these can relock and this would need to be fixed by the modder.

[indigo gazelle]

I need help man , everything was running fine as far as settings on my server … now none of my hatching taming speeds etc apply everything is long waits , I’ve copy and posted others codes ,,, anyone encounter this ?

[random saffron]

So it won't effect modded stuff. Got it.

[wise kindle]

It really depends on the mod. Im seeing several modded structures that dont stay unlocked as they should, cant say all of them are like that tho.

[gusty geyser]

How do I see the keyboard keys while fishing? I see those on the pad and I'm on pc with mk

[modern finch]

Has anyone used beacon to edit loot drops in asa yet? I tried to load default contents and it severally reduced the quality in the drops.

[solemn zephyr]

Beacons load defaults are ASE defaults since data mining isn't available yet for ASA.

[regal iris]

After I purchased a server anyone know the timeframe it takes for it to appear on my account to start adjusting settings. I remember ASE was pretty quick.
Been about 15 minutes since I purchased it, so thought I would ask.

[wise kindle]

In general I let the map sit for an hour after I order it, before I touch it. Mainly because general background tasks run after the map is visible. Best to let them finish before messing with it.

[regal iris]

Well it hasn’t even popped up in my servers so I can’t mess with it, even if I wanted to. Just didn’t know how long after purchase it will pop up under “my servers” cause currently it says I don’t have one.

[native wave]

nope still not working....get invalid password. if I put in the password for my live server, it connects to my live server. both entries in the server list lead to me logging into my live server despite the servers having different ports setup

just for shits and giggles I'm going to assign the test server ports from my ASE scorched Earth server....see if the ports I'm using are out of range, or if it really is a flawed implementation of ports in the server

[rich cloak]

What happens if you shut down the server that you keep getting connected to

[native wave]

connection timeout...tried that before

[rich cloak]

I have to believe something simple in the server config is the issue

[tall swift]

Hey can anyone help me with a problem my friend whos on pc has made a server and has put cross platform mods on but I'm on xbox and when I go to place any modded structure it will be green to place but won't place down on any surface is there a fix or setting to do?

[merry root]

This isnt the right channel for this however the mod is probably broken.

[native wave]

are you sure you aren't near a supply drop point? server could be set to prevent building near them

[tall swift]

Oh sorry I didn't realise haha my bad and no it's every mod with structures all the dinos spawn but can't use structure it's weird and I'm not no I haven't seen anyone else with this issue tbh

[native wave]

test server ports are now:
Game 7779-7780
RCON 27051
booting up now

everything from my scorched earth ASE server

except query

yeah, still broken

sends me to the wrong game port when I click on my test server in the server list

[rich cloak]

Not sure what else to say except maybe a cache issue

[wise crypt]

Is it normal that nitrado server restarts itself witout reason?

[native wave]

if it hits it's memory cap it may restart

[rich cloak]

You have the SessionName with quotes in the INI?

Not sure that is valid

[native wave]

works on my live server

[rich cloak]

The WIKI says that is wrong

Note: Name must not be typed between quotes unless it is launched from command line.

[fervent tree]

Because it is overridden by the command line. The command line takes priority over ini settings.

There was a bug with serveradminpasswort swallowing everything coming after it on command line. Try it without it

[rich cloak]

Ya, that is one reason I do not use those settings in both places

note that for ASA "MaxPlayers=15" is no longer valid on the command line

[fervent tree]

Yeah, I have everything in ini apart from the "dynamic" stuff that I want to have different between servers.

[rich cloak]

for ASA use -WinLiveMaxPlayers=15 on the command line

[native wave]

simplifying my command line, leaving settings in the GUS, removing quotes.

[rich cloak]

I struggled for about 10 days setting up ASA, as they changed basic stuff from ASE that did not let me see my server or connect, I had to go back to basics and re-read all kinds of stuff

I just assumed I knew it all lol

[native wave]

the lack of documentation certainly didn't help....thanks nitrado for rushing things

still invalid server password

have another weird thing with my live server....rcon stopped connecting saying "authentication failed"

the test server can connect RCON fine

using Arkon, it tells me to check my password

[rich cloak]

Take a deep breath, go take a walk, come back and go over the settings / INI again

[dawn coral]

What time will the update be

[rich cloak]

2024

[native oxide]

will the turkey trial update automatically go onto my server or will it be a setting in nitrado ?

[rich cloak]

Ask Nitrado

[native wave]

after doing this for both servers:
Both start up and be connected to via rcon
Both show up in the in game server list
Both point to my live server in the in game server list...password for the live server is accepted on either entry in the server list. Server list is connecting me to the wrong game port.

command line for both servers now, the only exception is the forcerespawndinos is on my test server but not the live server

[charred crypt]

hi so i have my server up and running people can join via the ip address and console command, but it wont show up on teh unofficial server listing any help would be appriciated

i have forwarded 7777 and 7778 and 27000-27050

[rich cloak]

Ok, so question, you have the 2 servers in seperate directories I assume, and have those start directoies specified in the Bat? start C:\ARK\vdg2\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe

[native wave]

I run the servers using Pterodactyl on Docker. the server runs in linux using Proton. Each server is it's own docker container with separate file system

the docker containers are assigned the ports for the server to use, and can only use those ports externally

[rich cloak]

Ok, well that throws in a variable I can not help with

Mainly just wanted to verify the configs were not getting crossed up

[fickle sinew]

Its going to be released as a mod . So you add the mod to the server yourself

[native wave]

yeah figured. from docker (portainer), these are the assigned ports for the two containers

live server: 27050:27050 7777:7777 7778:7778
test server: 7779:7779 7780:7780 27051:27051```

the configs definitely aren't getting crossed...and I've double checked the command line and configs I don't know how many times now. I've rebuilt the command line in a text editor before copying it where I need to copy it in pterodactyl

[native oxide]

like official mod posted by the ark devs ?

[native wave]

Additionally, when I try using the open command (my public IP:7779) in the console in game in a single player game, it acts like it's connecting, but goes to a black screen and never loads

[crimson geyser]

Hey guys. Is it possible to lower the Spawn of wild Babys?

[humble thicket]

How to disable upload and downloads on your server?

[rich cloak]

I am out of ideas man, will think on it more

[solemn zephyr]

PreventDownloadSurvivors=True
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=True
PreventUploadItems=True
PreventUploadDinos=True

In GUS

[native wave]

I appreciate the effort. I'm just hoping they release linux server binaries at some point so I don't have to run it using proton anymore

[rich cloak]

ya, that would help, but I feel that is a bit out in the future yet

[native wave]

I don't think that is the cause of this though. I think they actually have some bug with using non-standard ports

[humble thicket]

Anyone else having issues with crashing when you hit a metal node with a pick or killing some dinos and crashing when you harvest it? Just want to know if thats a know bug or something, im trying to report it but i had to make an account and still waiting for the email confirmation smh

[rich cloak]

That can be caused by excessive harvest rates

[humble thicket]

Its 50x, same as my ASE server

[rich cloak]

50x is extreeme

look at the harvest clamp options in the server config WIKI

Also keep in mind, that ASA is far from being optimised, it is still early release

[tardy pine]

Since the turkey trial will be a mod, will we need to configure that mod on our servers or will it be automagically distributed to all maps within the specified amount of time? Or do we know

[rich cloak]

We Know Not

[charred crypt]

does any1 know how t o get your server to show on the unofficial list ?

peopel can connect to it via the console command but i can not get it to show on the list no mater what i do

[tardy pine]

firewall ports open and all ports forwarded to the correct machine in your router?

[charred crypt]

yup

[tardy pine]

The server should show up if network communication is not obstructed. The other potential issue would be server versioning

[charred crypt]

otherwiase people would not be able to conenct via the console command

[rich cloak]

Is it a Dedicated? or Non-Dedicated?

[charred crypt]

dedicated

[tardy pine]

Not true, Ark uses more then one port, one is specifically for the server browser interaction

[charred crypt]

i have 2 servers up and running 1 via steam and 1 via steamcmd both are connec table but neitehr show on the list

[tardy pine]

You can connect to a server using the command line if port 27015 (default server browser port) is being blocked by a firewall or not being forwarded

[charred crypt]

well i have forwarded 7777 7778 and 27000-27050, via my firewall and my router, though when i check with a website it says they are all closed

i believe i have done it correctly sorry this is the first time ive hosted a server before

[tardy pine]

yeah no worries

what happens if you take one server offline? Are they configured to use different ports?

[charred crypt]

yes and it doesnt mater if i have 1 up or both up nothing shows

[celest halo]

most websites only check TCP 7777 7778 are UDP, and there is no query port for ASA

[humble thicket]

@strange flare pls acc friend request

[charred crypt]

im checking via a portforwarding checker well multiple ones and it all says closed

but according to my firewall and router everything is open

[celest halo]

most of them only check TCP

[charred crypt]

peopel are connecting via ` "open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7777" just fine

[charred crypt]

the sites ive been using have a drop down to let me check

if that makes a diffrence

[celest halo]

they connecting fine that way then ports are forwarded and open

[charred crypt]

thats what om saying but im unable to get it to show up on the unoffical listing

[celest halo]

what OS

[charred crypt]

windows

[celest halo]

version

[charred crypt]

10

[north shell]

wheres the teleport

wrong server thought this was path of titans

[celest halo]

that should have the certificate revocation list already

[charred crypt]

how do i do that?

i see no errors on the log

[tardy pine]

Are the servers set to use different ports? I have 2 servers running and don't have any problems. There could be an issue if the ports are the same, the server browser might see a conflict and choose not to display the servers.

I set ports in my start file like this.
Server 1

call D:\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7777?ServerAdminPassword=%password% -UseBattlEye

Server 2

call D:\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7779?ServerAdminPassword=%password% -UseBattlEye

And forward UDP ports
7777:7780

[charred crypt]

yes both for all as the guide said if i can do both i should

[celest halo]

dont need TCP for 7777

[charred crypt]

server 2 i dont have as much control over i just hti luanch on steam and it does it for me, the steamcmd one though everyone is connecting to it via 7777 just fine

ive closed down the ark dedicated server on steam as i only opened that to test if there was anything diffrent with it

the issue is these are close friends testing my server for me, im hoping with having it on listed others joe public will join it

[celest halo]

whats the server name

[charred crypt]

"lexisplace" for now

weird so why is it showing for you but not for me or 2 friends

[rich cloak]

I can also see it

[tardy pine]

you took one server down, maybe it's a conflict with the ports on the 2 servers

[charred crypt]

yes

ok but what about my friends im in england 1 is in netherlands 1 is in australia

[celest halo]

i see it also, do they have "show password protected servers" checked, if they do it wont show

and if they have "pc-only online multiplayer" checked it wont show

[charred crypt]

i will hassle t hem to check for me sadly netherlands went to bed and aussie has gone to work but thanks for the help

my next question is how do i upload mods onto the server ?

[celest halo]

-mods=modid,modid in the bat file

[charred crypt]

ok and do i need to have them installed anywhere other than my local games files?

[tardy pine]

they auto install

[charred crypt]

kk thanks

[rich cloak]

Install Hyper-V and run the server in a VM

[charred crypt]

i can play on it using a diffrent ` "open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7777" to what my friends were using

[rich cloak]

of course then you need another Windows licence for the VM

It is still a valid option if you have thr right version

[tardy pine]

Nah, the windows 10 pro "trial" never really expires 😉

[charred crypt]

i was thinking of using a vm but in all fairness i dont need to its running just fine via steamcmd barely using 1/3rd of my ram

[rich cloak]

Sorry, I own an MSDN sub and have a plethoria of license, so never think like that

[tardy pine]

I used to have MSDN... man that was nice

[wise kindle]

Ppl still use MSDN?

[rich cloak]

Yes

[wise kindle]

Interesting

[tardy pine]

the server licenses alone are worth it. not to mention the included monthly azure credits

[rich cloak]

Exactly

[wise kindle]

Ah ok makes sense, i just use the tools/IDE. Which is pretty much free now so I let it expire.

[tardy pine]

It doesnt have to be, there are ways to reduce costs with the right infrastructure design... I gotta quit talking about work outside of work... fml

if you dont need the governance and availability then yeah, there are way cheaper options. I run servers on my old gaming rigs these days so I'm right there with you

[charred crypt]

so the mod id is the project id on curse?

[celest halo]

yeah

[humble thicket]

Where can i find a list of all dinos in asa at the moment and all items, and spawn commands if anyone knows

im trying to set up a shop mod but i cant find spawn commands or even what is all in asa right now

[celest halo]

most of the ASE dino spawn commands work https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Creature_IDs

[primal estuary]

If I set up a server with x5 BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier what setting should I use to get 100% imprint on every breed? Does anyone know?

[gloomy belfry]

finally got my servers set up jeez

[humble thicket]

Is there a way to have a "community starter base" where people can pick up free goodies like tools and other stuff? How can I give them access to things?

[orchid fiber]

How do I set up the custom maps on nitrado I tried but it isn’t showing up

[gloomy belfry]

leave boxes unlocked i donno theres a decent mod thats crossplay called starter pack or w/e

its pretty customizable can choose what they start with and the dino/lvl by using the gfi item names seperated in the gus ini file. Mod ID:931753

[old widget]

Anyone having lost/timed out connection to host on Nitrado

[humble thicket]

works fine here

[cloud sorrel]

already can host and play on same pc

[wanton shore]

Hoping someone can help me out here. I’ve got console commands enable on my unofficial server. I’m trying to use the cheat to unlock all engrams but it’s not working for some reason. I can use the cheat to wipe all dinos but the engrams won’t work. Anyone know why?

[charred crypt]

hmm i xseen a mod earlier that checks for carcha/giga spawns and if there wasnt 2 it force spawns them in but i cant find it now nay chance any1 knows its name?

[quasi axle]

does anyone know how to turn off symbols for imprinting? theres no way for me to see what a baby wants for food, it just has the symbol. and ive tried the l1 + middle button to show more and it doesnt. im on ps5. any tips? im really frustrated

[hearty wedge]

Gotta plug in a mouse or elevate it on a ramp/platform and look up at it

[quasi axle]

I don’t have a mouse and I just tried the platform thing and it didn’t work. Is this how its always gonna be?

[young minnow]

WC confirmed a patch is coming for it soon

As for exact date I don't know but it def out before end of month that much I know

[quasi axle]

ok, thank you both for your help.

[strange magnet]

Not sure where to ask this but I’m having a problem with my server, I can’t get the cloning chamber to clone anything, is anyone else having this issue?

[rich cloak]

I do not use it, sorry

[crimson geyser]

Hey Guys. Another try. Is there any way to reduce the Spawn of wild Babies?

[haughty pollen]

Have they given any indication as to how to launch turkey trials yet ? Assume it’ll be the normal active event command line

[distant hearth]

they already said it will be a downloadable mod many times

[haughty pollen]

Thought it was just the krampus skin. My bad

[frosty dawn]

Oh it's a mod for Turkey trial? So it's ready now?

[manic coral]

They said in the announcment something about a new major update, not anything about a mod 🧐

[spark snow]

Turkey trails . Anyone know when it will come out on nitrado ??

[frosty dawn]

Surely it can't be a mod. That would be stupid. Install mod. Play. Tame coloured dinosaurs get emotes and toys and skins etc. Then what? You don't want it forever. Turn it off and lose everything?

[distant hearth]

No idea how it will work once the mod is removed, but the impression i got was, the events wud be in mod form , that can be added or removed.

[frosty dawn]

Huh. Well.. must not be ready yet or we would know for sure. I get the feeling trying to get everything working for cross platform is where the delays are. Or just fixing more last minute ptr bugs. Getting less hopeful it will be live today

[distant hearth]

i would hope that if a delay was expected there was a statement by now but.....comunication never been a strong point

[rigid helm]

Is there a something special you need to adds up to config when you trying to put some mods in? Compared to old ASE

[frank sand]

Noticed some talk about Turkey Trial. I've already got it running on my server, along with Winter Wonderland. They aren't fully working. Have Turkeys running around and dinos have weird colors. Can get wishbones but nothing in the cooking pot to craft. So it's not fully enabled. Same with Winter Wonderland. Dino colors are there, Gacha's are running around. No Raptor Claus and again nothing available in the cooking pot. So, events are partially working using the ASE settings. Thought I'd mention.
No idea if wishbones will reset. Guess I'll find out soon enough.
I thought I'd peek in to see if anyone had ideas why my server is stuck at version 31.63 and how I might force it to update to 31.65.

[lavish solar]

Anyone else having an issue getting their servers past 31.63?

[celest halo]

31.65 is not out for unofficials

[celest halo]

Don’t know if they will carry over ASA events going to be mods

[lavish solar]

Thought as much.
Nice one though lol.

Players have updated the game and now cant find servers because of server listing update that is not available for unofficial yet lol

[celest halo]

I don’t plan on seeing 31.65 on unofficial with the major version change they have to release today for the event

But could be wrong and they could do both patches for unofficial
