u on singleplayer or a dedicated server
i wanted to try it but iv seen the map doesnt even have flyers yet so nope il wait till its 100% XD
whats bbs?
Bush Berry seeds
it never had flyers but has maewings so kinda mute
The map acts ALOT differently than island. So when ppl say they are having issues, the first question I ask is... is this Svart? Cuz it has alot of issues.
well at this point il take anything over the island the island has to be the most boring map out there
Just put up Ice Age. Its a complete map and its pretty nice.
ah sorry i never messed with that stuff, like 95% code is exact same as ase though
pron more than 95% tbh, ive just noticed one or two things differ
Yeh i know that, just don't know if its broken as they dont spawn in dino inventory
i need something that is better for pearls and Cement paste coz damn i hate island for resources and build spots kinda sucks
just give me my crystal isles already 🤣 and il be happy
you said you would take anything over island tho lol
really, i dont like that map much, atleast not from a pve perspective, my least fav
its so good for farming in a hour i can have 8 indo forges and 50 heavies ready the easiest farming ever
btw you should check out Ice Age. Full complete map and its really nice. The studio has like 4 more maps planned. Good stuff.
Great holiday map too
il have a peak sounds good i am running primal chaos mod and want to spice things up coz island just makes me wanna cry
wont have flyers even :L
Im waiting for a mod that overrides the no fliers bit lol.
Guys the command console not working why?
yeah i hate no having fliers traveling on foot is super slow and annoying
Can you describe the issue further?
No need for a mod. You can simply enable flyers and you can fly the griffins or any other flyer you add to the map
Im trying to update my sever to 33.16 but my server is stuck trying to update from 33.15
I'm using steam CMD
33.16 not out for unofficials
So my friends can't join because its a lower version than the client, correct?
not correct
I get a ton of error messages tho. I want it to run smoothly with modded dinos.
So then what is most likely causing them to have a connection timeout when trying to join?
connection timeout is network issue
Should I allow ASA server ports through my firewall
yes
only if you want people from outside your network to connect to it
Well they arent on the same network so I would need to
Do they also need to allow the ports through the firewall before trying to join?
no unless they cant connect to any other server for some reason ,
you will need to forward port 7777 incoming and outgoing through your pc firewall, any antivirus and the router firewall/switches what ever is between your computer and internet access
Ok so they wouldnt need to join through a command such as this: open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7777 cause this what one video told me when I was helping set up most of it
that command is, your server ip adreess an connect through port 7777, if they have showplayerserver ticked and your end is good they shud find it
Ok
im super new to this stuff though, but this is what ive been told shud work
Alright, so am I
u would need to forward it in the firewall and u need to port open that is how people outside your own router can connect to the server u hosting and no u do not need to connect with a ip if done correctly u can find it under the unofficial server list
hi does anyone know how to see who has joined my nitrado server? on my ase server there used to be a player control option but that's no longer there. Im on Xbox but the server is set to all platforms. Thanks
DontAlwaysNotifyPlayerJoined=False
in gameusersettings.ini
and also see if u can use rcon
My friend still cant join even though I port fowarded
there is also some admin menu u can open with a command that shows u all the players etc in the server
ShowMyAdminManager
did he tick show player server on in the server list at the bottom right otherwise it will just show nitrado servers
Yes
have him double check its set to search all an not just pve or pvp, passworded protected on an off etc, so many settings is easy get one wrong
We did do that he ended up finding mine
I had read off the version, mods, that it had a password and everything like that
so he connects an timesout or cant find?
Timesout
could be the ports are not correct that it timeouts
yea has be some sort network isue id think
So what I ended up doing on my side was allowing it through the inbound and outbound rules for my firewall, then I went into my router and entered the ports 7777 as UDP protocol 8888 as UDP as well and 27015 as TCP protocol. I got this from the youtuber TroubleChute who made a example website to explain it better
asa supposedly only uses 7777 udp, ive heard having 8888 open is not a good thing (security issue)
are u connect via wifi or ethernet cable?
Hmm thats what I was told because he had heard that some were using that. I am connected via wifi
probably need to allow network connection via wifi
try plugging in direct to see if thats issue
I use BattleMetrics for this
im might be wro0ng but im sure wifi can block network conections too, try in network an sharing centre
How would I check if its being blocked
i dont know tbh mine is hard wired
im just hazarding a gues sthat cud be an issue also
i just remeber having piss about with my missus laptop settings so that we cud share files
port checker will always say its closed game servers use UDP not TCP
Then what website should I use cause I know I set up 7777 as UDP under port forwarding
how many routers you have
Only the 1
Has anyone else had an issue where ps5 controlls show up as Xbox on an unofficial server. I have a server through nitrado that's crossplay and the ps5 players controls show xbox
wan ip in router match what whats my ip in google shows
Does anyone know how to remove Dino spawns from a mod if I have the creatures spawn codes?
If so how would this be done?
does anyone know how to fix an ark dedicated server not allowing people to join
wdym with "gameuser"
Am I supposed to be looking at the ipv4 or ipv6
ipv4
thanks what is rcon sorry not very good at all this stuff
Well google is telling me my public while my router is telling me something else
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",ToClassName="")
in game ini , replace the x with its spawn code
you will need to dino wipe after
one in router start with 100.
Ah
I'm redoing the port froward should the port foward be specfic to my computer?
if wan ip in router is in 100.64. - 100.127. range you cgnat
When it comes to the port foward should I do the ports 7777 under UDP and 27015 under TCP
27015 is not used with ASA
Ok so just 7777 under UDP
So like this?
Also in the game.ini, not the GameUserSettings.ini
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Crab_Character_BP_ASA_C",ToClassName="Dragonfly_Character_BP_C")
If I leave ToClassName="") as is will it just delete them not replacing them with anything?
but if you are cgnat nothing you do will work
yes in game ini ,
leaving blank just removes it from spawn pool, like your second example yes
Well I dont see anything starting with a 100 in my settings so I think im fine
what do I do to get the wild dinos up to level 150? I already set the difficulty to 1.0 and Override to 5.0
if your routers wan ip is not your public ip then you either cgnat or double nat
Theyre the same
this is how i understand ports need to be done ,
port 7777 udp, inbound and outbound connections in windows firwewall forwarded using new rules ,
then what ever is between you an the internet needs port 7777 udp forwared, (in my case just a router)
then server shud work
what do I do to get the wild dinos up to level 150? I already set the difficulty to 1.0 and Override to 5.0
Ok since I got commands from the description of the video to make the firewall add rules should I get rid of the ports 7778 and 27015 under the local port section of the rules?
im no expert but i would not want ports open that i did not know what the fuck they do tbh
what do I do to get the wild dinos up to level 150? I already set the difficulty to 1.0 and Override to 5.0
especially not a lapto or pc that might have personal info, bank details etc on
yup 7777 needs to be UDP
Under the firewall?
Cause I'm just going to write mine for now on
yeah need to forward 7777 UDP
server? single player? dedicated , non-dedicated?
its my server, its non-dedicated i believe?
i bought it at nitrado
that would be a dedicated
thats a dedicated , did you stop the server wait 5 mins, then alter those settings in the game user ini, save it, wait a minute then restart server?
non-dedicated is started from in game
Has anyone else had an issue where ps5 controlls show up as Xbox on an unofficial server. I have a server through nitrado that's crossplay and the ps5 players controls show xbox
one second i'll look into that rn
thats prob some sort nitrado isssue tbh,but the controls are the same no? just they use triangle , square x, o instaed axyz or w.e
Thank you
Just get Beacon and save yourself hours and hours.... link to it is pinned
@celest halo Would you mind if I added you to show you how the commands were setup, I dont want to send them here since someone might screw themselves up like I have?
@distant hearth yeah had couple people tell me should be setting for controller scheme but can't find in settingsini and nitrado has been no help at all
I don't understand
And some are same but some features for some reason like tracking for crafting the can't use
Its an application, a full ini generator and mod manager. Look in the pinned messages for the link, or google beacon for ark
Thank you I'll check it out at a later time
It will change your entire ark config experience, I assure you
should only be one rule in port 7777 udp to 7777 ip of computer running server
i figured it out, still thanks tho
Yeah that's what I have, I was just wondering if you wanted to see them cause I would be a little spooked personally if someone used these rule commands from a description for their firewall when it makes no since why some ports are open when 7777 is the only one needing to be used
so im looking at a nitrado gameuserini, now it has a heading
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings]
Far as i can tell theese are all the singleplayer user settings like, ho wthey set the game options. I dont think they shud be in the server , does yours have that ?
in fact i have two here from differnt users an they both have that
ASE needed more so most guides just list what ASE used
Ok
just like most peoples start script has things in it ASA dont use because ASE did lol
Yeah
@distant hearth I've got that heading has volume and such settings
hmm i wonder if it one those settings, seems weird a server needs that info, but i dont know what half it means tbh
its like they made the game run in single player , then just copied the settings to a server
if you have a test server, delete it all an see, id gamble a pint there not needed on a server an cud cause issues like u describe
Ok ill. Take a look. Thanks @distant hearth
so i was right, server doesnt need that shit,
I deleted from my steamcmd server im learning on, after sarting it, it rewrote them to the gus.
I shut it down , made gus read only , rebooted
server runs fine an didnt rewrite files
I dont have a ps or xbox to test if it wud fix your issue though
@distant hearth I have 2 servers 1 with nitrado and one with an outside server company. Both are this way. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe a mod is messing things up
possible i guess, so its just the one server causing the issue?
No both servers are same @distant hearth as far as the controls
hmm that doesnt narrow it down, i wonder if all nitrado servers have the issue an people just dont notice, wud expect there to be others noticed it though
that dont make sense as u said one isnt nitrado nvm
No when we log in to other servers it don't do it. Single player and 2 different servers we tried are just fine. It's just my 2 servers
i blame it on a glitch in the matrix, lolz
my friends non-dedicated world corrupted, and the anitcorruptionbackup was corrupted (found out after switching world files around a lot) only world that worked was some random one dated a month ago tried to get over the charcters and tribes but whenever i tried to forcejoin tribe whilst in the world the game keeps crashing so i think the localplayer file and ark tribes + their backups are also corrupted, any ideas how to get back into the tribe, cause if not then our world is gone and we are probably going to have to make a new one
Sometimes it's the tribe or player files getting corrupted, try starting the server without them
Is there an ini setting to increase the range of power generators?
Or is there a website or resource with all ini command options listed?
The ark wiki site
Anyone else getting broke file on the Winder Wonderland mod? I cannot get on my sever
Use set cheat player
Look at a structure, copy the id
Then do
Cheat taketribe ID
Done
If you have other mods, you need to load WW into first position (or 2nd if using a mod map)
Just get beacon and let it make your ini for you. It's in the pinned messages.
you know if beacon works with ASA Manager?
I put in the following command into both inis and one with the [PrimalChaos] header and one without for both, somehow it still doesnt work, any ideas?
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="Kibble_Demonic_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="Kibble_Demonic_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))
Beacon is an ini generator. Inis apply to all setups.
And if your manager has ftp beacon makes it even easier
For ASA, how do you setup a non-dedicated server and allow friends to join ? When I try to do it they can't see it in the available server list.
You do this by using the search feature because your questions has been answered at least 1000 times
In which ini are craftingcostoverrides for modded items added?
Again, get beacon and let it handle it for you. Or use the wiki.
Or use the search feature.
Also game.ini but under the right header
Am on phone so idk if beacon works there, but thank you
Tried looking it up on google but didnt find much helpful
Will try the other thing
why cant i place structures at the small desert cave in the crack? (ragnarok)
Hey, I can't get an Ark survival evolved server working. What server hosting would be cheapest? I'm just playing with me and 2 friends so I don't need like, infinity slots or whatever
hello, does someone else have the problem that they cant download winter wonderlands mod and know how to fix it . (on steam) ive tried everything reinstalled asa verified my files etc just really annoying and would like some help if anyone has an answer
first thing in game, in the mod list, try to unistall the mod. sometimes does some times doesnt let you.
close game,
right click it in steam , manage, browse local files,
go to the files, then its shootergame/binaries/win64/shootergame
you will have two folders,
mods and modsuserdata
I delete the contents of both and download all the mods i use again, from the mods list in game, not from server join.
You can try to find the mod id for just the one thats causing issue, but they download fast so i just delete all,
you can also clear steam cache after doing the above , that cud help too
hope that helps , happy xmas
alright i will try that
didnt work i have been trying everything i seem to be not the only one with this issue
every time i try and download it it starts gets to about %50 then cancels and says try again
oh dam , ure the first that i know this method dint work for , sry i dont know anything else as that completely cleans the mod file system,
When re downloading are you doin it in mod list or via trying join server?
mod list
yea thats how it shud be done , sry im at a loss as to anything else that you can try
at this point , last resort , right click game in steam, manage browse local files , keep that file location open. go up one level so ure looking at the "ark survival ascended" folder
Delete the game in steam, clear the cache in steam. dont restart steam or close it if it does restart
delete the entire folder of ark ascended
restart pc, then download it all again
Be Aware this will delete your single player (if you using that mode) and all settings . You can save single player world file though seperate before deleting, let me know if u need know how .
Its all i can think of with everything else you tried
Try to let a server push it to you and see if that works curse forge could be having issues who knows try taking your firewall and antivirus offline and see if that works
alright i'll try that cause yeah i dont even have the mod installed it starts to download gets to about %50 then cancels says "somthing went wrong"
guys how much ram would u say it takes to run an ASA server on ur own machine
have at least 16 gb just for asa but it typically will run at between 9 to 12
@distant hearth that worked i love you lol
where do you go to change player weight and pino weight in the config filles for nitardo
these settings in game.ini PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=10000.0
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[8]=2.0
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[9]=2.0
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[10]=2.0
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[11]=12.0
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=100000.0
player[7] is weight
Guys noob question my friend got a unofficial server he gave me the admin password it’s not working for me at all I’ve tried enablecheats “password” nothing works does he need to go to nitrado app and do something
did they remove the pick up structure mechanic with the S+ mod?
Nothing actually pop up if you activate the admin password. You need to use another cheat to see it works. Cheat fly is an easy one to test.
try admicheat when u use cheats for example admincheat fly
so i put this in the "game.ini" file but its not working in game. what did i do wrong?
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_EJCWorkbench_C",EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=100,EngramLevelRequirement=80,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)```
wait is this for a mod ?
EJ mutations
put it in the gameusersettings.ini that is where mod ini goes
crating costs go in game.ini though
yeah for the normal game stuff yes but all mod stuff goes in gameusersetting that i know of
let me try it
and this mod is for mutations right ?
yes
it will be used on our server but cant get it to work on it or on single player either
i use Qol+ mod it gives u the S+ mutator which u can set to even give u 30 40 mutations at a time
oo nice
can even adjust the cost of it works with element
so that worked btw
les go XD
i am pretty sure u can i havent done it myself yet i just set mine to use 1 element
damn artifacts for cost is crazy lol
now i cant get it to change xD
which would be better for my ASA servers a Intel Xeon E5-1650v3 - 6c/12t - 3.5 GHz/3.8 GHz or a 2x Xeon 5650 - 6c/12t - 2.6 GHz/3.2 GHz?
ugh now its not working at all again -.-
weird those inis are tricky man
can i send you what im trying to put in @humble thicket
sure
i did cheat TakeTribe 0 and it worked and saved 80h of work thanks
I did nothing has worked I put it in and try fly , cheat Gcm or showmyadminmanager if just won’t let me be admin
You have to put
Enablecheats yourpassword
It's not like xbox ase where you just input the pass
and u gotta type enablecheats 1333<the password space between enablecheats and password
Is there any way to disable cryo sickness and still have PVP so breeding/culling isn’t such an issue?
u cant disable it on pvp only pve
Anyone know how to turn off the cryo damage effect on Nitrado? Want to be able to cryo dinos even if they recently took damage
Where are we supposed to craft Xmas trees??
Smithy I believe
The ASA server doesn’t seem too much different than the ASE one. In that case, 3 GHz is sufficient and requires about 2 threads for one server and 8-10gb RAM. The multi CPU setup would be better for running multiple servers.
You are amazing. Vanilla smithy.
if its asa you cant turn cryosickness off in either mode atm
cant do that at the minute , hoping wc gives us more options in future, till then still using mod
@delicate sage OK thanks for the info!
ok quick question how do u add a moded map to your server i added the mod i set map name to custom and added the name of the map but it says the name of the map is wrong how do i get the right name
Which mod do you use/recommend? I was waiting for official cryo but noticed there were a handful in the mod list.
try configrable cryopod mod it has tons of settings u can change
Pelayori's Cryo Storage (Crossplay!)
super cryo storage , as its close to the old dino storage v2
welp- theres 3 to choose from 🙂
EnableCryopodNerf=False
EnableCryoSicknessPVE=False
works perfectly to disable cryo sickness on my pve server
on asa? i cudnt get it to wrk
yes ASA
What’s the other commands do?
GUS.ini
yea i had them in there just like i wud for ase
i will have test again
the only one that worked were the fridge no requirement and w.e it was, oh an fridge's on saddles
If you are using Pelayoris Cryo mod, these settings work perfectly.
all of the cryopod settings in my ini are working as expected on my server....so check yoursetup...maybe you have duplicate entries or something
are there any updates regarding the single player save bug?
yea i got go over it again anyway since i cant make it show max 10 players for some dam rreason
-WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 in your command line
ty
yeah don't know why they needed to change that
id tried that in ? using space - was next to try haha
it dont really matter as its just a server im testing on atm, i only ever had nitrado servers becuase my internet sux, but once scortched out prolly gonna look at renting server space so trying get it all sussed out whil ei got holiday time
Does anyone have a list of all the configs you can use I don’t need values just the ones you can use but are in the game.ini already
look up "server configuration" on ark.wiki.gg
Thank you
it's the most up to date list, parsed by ASA vs ASE
Ty
Is there a way to change the day night cycle on an existing server? My game user settings file didn’t have any of the cycle lines so I added them but it doesn’t seem to be taking effect?
shud be these two settings and under the [serversettings] header in gameuser.ini,
DayTimeSpeedScale=1
NightTimeSpeedScale=1
stop server first, change to values you want, save, start server
Yeah those lines weren’t there when I went to edit it so I put daycyclespeed nighttimespeed and daytimespeed all at one but they don’t seem to be taking effect. Idk if it helps but I had short nights before the Christmas event and just wanted to revert it for raptor but I can’t seem to get the night back to normal
ive never used daycyclespeed so i dont know what effect that has .
i just used a slower day speed(less than 1) an faster night speed(greater than 1) to get it to be like brittish summer time but still clock the days as normal , if that makes sense
Do u think removing the daycyclespeed would fix it? Maybe it’s interfering with the two speed scale lines?
possibly , i dont kno wwhat it does without reading the wiki,
i just know i never used it to alter servers in ase
I’m pretty sure it just extends or shortens the time of the day cycle iirc standard is 52 mins? I think it changes that?
deleted those coz i was being dumb, sry
i wud try stopping the server,wait a minute or 5 if nitrado server, double check it hasnt changed your ini . then try again , maybe it dint save properly
how do you set custom spawns for dinos on pvp? (ASA)
its done through code in the game.ini ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/
its fairly complex to manually do it , or you can pay for an app like beacon to configure it for you, but even then its not straightforward
has anyone figured out how to add admins on a dedi server ? like with a file so I dont have to keep putting in the pw
I paid for beacon, yet it still doesn't work
Spawn containers so far in my experience, can be very easily broken and I cant recommend editing them without the use of mod. They either overspawn or just kill the whole container and you get vast areas with zero dinos.
Just what I've seen so far. Its obviously a bug but not much you can do but wait till they fix it. Could take months tbh.
ive done it a few times in ase an its a nightmare, last time i did it through beacon wasnt so bad, it really depends what your trying to change tbh , its not straight forward
yeah it really depends on the container it seems. Some can be changed but others just lose it and delete all the spawns.
Its a crapshoot.
yea, then some spawns dont seem to correlate with what you wud think they do
i once put snow owls on raganrock before i used beacon, that was amusin, i had like 300 or the dam things flapping about the murder snow
oh i see someone try do that actually, it wasnt good lolz, there coding was super weird
Some1 able to help me out figuring out the problem on my vps server, that my servers won't show up
your likely gonna have give more info than that for people to help, i only know basics but theres some here that im sure can help
Would sort it out through dms or sum
But
Client is stuck on
Number of Cores : 4
Status is green and says Tickin loop
Firewall ports r open
when searching for it pressing the stupid in game button for player only servers
anyone know the code to up turret limit
game ini , bLimitTurretsInRange=True , change it to false , i think
oh thats disable limit dam
is there a way to set a limit your self
thank you
there the old ase code , but shud work
how do you code the drops to be custom
wont work either
even if i enter the IP inn Favs it says no server found
each one has to be done individualy, beacon app/program makes it easier but its still not straightforward, i.e
this example adds a random amount element between 5 and 15 to ringed red drops
ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level60_Double_C",bAppendItemSets=true,ItemSets=((SetName="element",MinNumItems=1,MaxNumItems=2,NumItemsPower=1,SetWeight=1.2,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=1000,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_Element_C"),ItemsWeights=(50),MinQuantity=5,MaxQuantity=15,MinQuality=0,MaxQuality=0,bForceBlueprint=false,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0)))))
you can work the rest out from there replacing what u want,
or you can rewrite the whole things cganging everything
not sure then, have to wait for someone more expericened to look at it
does anyone know the mod ID for winter wonderland?
927090
ty!
ty!
927090_4979340
Would sort it out through dms or sum
But
Client is stuck on
Number of Cores : 4
Status is green and says Tickin loop
Firewall ports r open
it only goes to number of cores
aint showinn up tho
mine shows that and nothing else but works and when i connect shows me the ip connecting
to make the drops ringed to i use _double ?
no that was how u recode a ringed red rop, i dont think you can chnage what drops randomly come down, just whats in them
just got this : IP for incoming account 0002b2d92aaa4b95a76fc78dad50073e - IP ******3794
but noone on it
ya ik that to code the ones that are ringed do i have to use the _double
its feeling like they lowered dino spawn counts, anyone else seeing the same on their servers?
oh sry yea that the _double_c,
honestly get beacon the free version , it then tells u what they are, just select the drop, change one thing,press export an the it brings up the code, i just copy paste from there to my files.
so like a standard red wud be "SupplyCrate_Level60_C"
so i have my sever set to difficulty level 20 but if i tame over a level 400 the dinos cant level is there a setting im missing? This is for ASA
i know they added a new setting to change for mutation breeding too but i cant find that setting now
Whenever i join a server, ( this seems to now be unofficial and Official ) the message " joining server (server name) " appears but nothing else happens? the game doesnt freeze, i dont load in or anything, i can still press escape to quit the game, i waited for an over an hour and never had even a hint of me actually loading in, can anyone help is this a problem on the games end or my end?
Gotta increase level cap
Default is 450 past u can't level
So each stat has a max of 255 points. When you go above 600 levels alot of stats hit max and then you cant level anymore.
i increased difficulty which i thought did that
so how do i fix it then?
If you check the stat points you will probably see they are maxed. I dont know a fix, just know thats the max.
The game caps at 255 per stat.
Some creatures can glitch tho and just stop leveling when they are near max points as well.
Its rough, the game just wasnt meant to go this high.
but in ase you could overide difficulty and tame level 600 dinos and be fine
the level cap should be disabled by default anyway
Yeah ik its weird. I dont know the solution
its not its acting just like an official server
Anyone want to fight?
We were promised that the 255 stat cap could be set via an ini entry, be we havent seen what that is yet in ASA.
the level cap would be deleting the dinos after level 450 not just stopping leveling 
it does that too
might be on restart tho, never used the setting
then thats the issue.
it just deletes them in game
so how do i fix that? i have dificulty at 20 for max level 600.
DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp in game.ini. 0 should disable it
is there one for the levels too or no?
if you mean the 255 stat point thing, don't know. wasn't in ASE 
no just not being able to level a 600 tamed ptera. the 255 will always be a thing i just cant level the dino at all other servers have done it but cant figure out what im doing wrong
have you been able to level it at all?
Anyone else having a major issue with the 50/50 glitch, I have tribes reporting items, structuresand even tames all teleporting to 50/50
Just get another one unfortunately
no
Things disappearing in vaults
no anything over 450
my guess it would be that setting then, just see if it fixes it.
10-4 ill try it ty
Disable ORP, it helps. Not a full solution but prevents it 90% of the time.
I have an ORP server, thats a bummer
Yeah tell me about it. ITs performance related tho. So anything that kills frames and lag seems to contribute.
Is there a way for me (the admin and owner of my own server) to create or spawn in dinos with specific stats, colors or mutations? Ideally, I would like to take the exported dino .ini file and somehow create that dino for some friends of mine who want to switch from a public server to mine, and I'd like for them to be able to keep the dinos they got from the other server. Can dino stats be edited?
the stats cannot its random, you can get close if you go through enough random spawned in ones , the colours can be commanded to what ever you want
mutations cannot be added either , far as im aware
no luck ill just lower level i guess
playing with high level dinos if u dont have crazy mods like primal ,or annanuki etc gets boring really really fast, first day or two hard, then one half decent tame stomps everything
its a new overhaul mod for asa and they recommend 20 difficulty its an alternative to primal fear
might worth a shout in there discord see if they know, im sure there is a setting that disables creatures over official limit getting deleted though will @ if i find it
DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp=450 i think is what the officials used
ah i see sry , i havent seen anything in the list on https://ark.wiki.gg/
worth a scan through though as so much i forgot half an also may missed it
okay now having another issue geez 😦 was trying to use steam for my seerver instead of ark server manager but it wont load mods no matter what i do
it shud just be -mods=927090
in the bat file that start server
nvm ,that shud work if you set it up as a start parameter
that mod id is winterwonderland
so in bat file?
nvm u wont have that i dont think if launching it through steam
you shud be able to add the line as a start parameter
hmm wonder where
right click, properties , launch options, i beleive]
for the asa dedicated server?
yea i presume you starting it in steam ?
yeah ill try it
okay that got that. thanks lets see if it fixes the level issue im having too. been using asm to try to run this stuff
it fixed the levels too
weird but atleast fixed
awesome, cross ya fingers it stays working lolz
should now thanks so much
Hey everyone, happy holidays. My game ini and game user settings aren't showing in the "ShowMyAdminManager" command. I'm wondering if there's a line I need to add to tell the server to recognise these files are to be read?
Any help would be appreciated
Hello is there a way to make it to where when baby Dino’s pop they will want imprint instantly? Pls ping if u know ty
I think it has something to do with the maturity rate and imprint intervals? I could try to post a link here to something I've read
Yes pls 🤲
Unfortunately it wouldn't allow a link to send, but I just looked up "ark instant imprint"
There was a YouTube on it
Oh ok thanks
as in instant 100% imprint?
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=5
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.0001
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=900000
in game.ini
Well my Dino’s already get 100% imprint but since I have my rates pretty fast I can’t get imprints on pts and argys because they grow up before the 40 min
the settings i gave ,when the baby born it wants imprinting an gives 100%
Can adjust them however you want tbh, i use beacon app an it just calculates how you want them set
Oh ok
its all down persomal prefence, i dont like them that high , but some do
Yeah I primarily made the settings for theris and rexes because they take for ever and didn’t think about things like pts and argys
whats the baby mature speed?
I’ll check now one min
80
So the main setting that allows me to imprint as soon as the baby is born is the cuddle grace period one?
nope thats how long you get to imprint before it starts losing effectiveness
or just sulks an wont take an imprint
Oh
this one does how often needs acuddle
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.0001
this one does how much each cuddle give
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=900000
if you want play with them, get the beacon app/program, theres fre version,
in the baby multiplier section, u can adjust the figures to what ever you want an see the effect it has on every dino on them,
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=5
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.02
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1000
theese settings with your mature speed, allows every din to be imprinted but needs 1 imprint 10 mins after it born
Ah ok that’s a reasonable amount of time
with your mature speed the fastest dino to grow up are like dodo an troodon, at 11m34s, so i just found the setting that 1 imprint cud do every dino
👍 ty
how do i enable the AlwaysAllowStructurePickup in my dedicated server??
so i tired it didnt worked coded my own and still does nothing to the drops smetimes i see some of the items but not all of them spawn and not all of the items are the ones i set
and i dont know how to get turret cap to work
are you adding them to existing drop loot tables , or completely re writing the drops ? the code i gave adds element to exsiting loot table like i said . theres a slight differnt one to completely overwrite them , you can change the weights to increase probability that something is in the drop, did you try the free beaconapp/program thing i mentioned?
its really good an you can click a button to simulate the drop , over an over to see what it gives with your setiing
kinda of i dont really know how to work it
i made a white drop in there tried to export like you said to get the vode but couldnt find the code for the drop
yea its not straight forward, i messed around for days with it,, im stubborn lolz
is possible though, its been years since i did it an still rember some of it
oh you hit export, then it pops out, from that you switch to game ini in the menu thing, it shud show the whole game ini, then i just copy out the code relating to the drop
its late here i had a few drinks and dont expalin well at best times , if your still struggling tomoz , dm me and if i get time i try an walk you through it
i see it now
i didnt at first imma try this again
its is a pain , then you just sorta twig how it works an it makes more sense, its complicated to me but old an not so good with tech
felt do you by chance no the command to set turret cap
Hi again I can’t find the babyimprintamount setting
Is it because I’m on Xbox
i honestly thought it was one i gav eearlier, can check again tomoz, in the wiki, remind me if i forget
ight
oh ure trying do it on single player?
Non dedi server I’m pretty sure
yea ure screwed coz microsoft suck an wont let you acces the game files , so u cant change the ini , im sorry i didnt realise, thought it was a server setting u wanted
Ah it’s ok
your only choice is to either have a load of imprints frequently , or lower the mature speed till you can imprint the ptery
Yeah that kinda sucks oh well haha
yea hopefully xbox either lets u acces game files, or wc allows some more settings in single player
in future
Yup
try out that beacon app , without changing imprint amount multiplier, u might be able to find something reasonable to work
I highly recommend you think about getting a server or finding one u all can play on or some thing though, you have absolutely no way to back up save game data , if files corrupt or something go wrong , u will lose everything . fingers crossed is fine but its ark....
Yeah it’s just me and my little brother just been walking him through the game
aye fair play, just cross fingers an toes it behaves
how do you fix corrupt mods (winter wonderland) on ps5? I've re-download thr mod and updated it 4 different times and it doesn't work.
🙏
answered in the other channel
ik I'm spamming it, I'm tired of wild cards shut
id be more tired that trash playbox you got that wont let you acces a simple file system
Mapname: Custom, Custom mapname: Svartalfheim_WP
And be sure you have the mod installed
God bless you have a wonderful christmas night and or happy holidays and or nothing idk what you believe in but thank you
@distant hearth getting a PC would fix there issue am I right lol
stop the server ,wait 5 mins , add the mod in first place , save it, hopefully it then lets you select the map in general , sometimes it doesnt , start server , let it boot, . stop it wait 5 min, try the map in general again
well i tired both ways still cant get drops to work
sry i got lost , ? but having be on console for like 20 years, pc is much nicer
@distant hearth was in response to the play station issue with winter wonderland
i had pc when young , like crap when i was at school , old win nt or win 95 things on single core cpu then , dint do gaming much for years, then had xbox360
i mean if they wud just get file acces be easier but ms an sony dont let
pc better though imo
I just don't like the limitations of consoles
yea its not till you get pc , realise just how restricted they are
but i guess they are aimed at kids so ... kinda make sense
its the age old cliche but kids theese days lmao , after 1 min there fed up if it dont work right, id spend hours to make it work right or better
ANNUNAKI ASCENDED or Primal chaos?
its taken me a few days but i finnaly got a cleanish stmcmd asa server start file that seems work
start arkascended.exe theisland_wp?sessionname=(willztest)?port=7777 -mods=927090 -nobattleye -noundermeshchecking -winlivemaxplayer=10
yea i am the meme, i type with two fingers stabbing keyboard, i cant touch type
Im just messin with you. Merry Christmas.
you to 🙂 im not joking though lolz i am the meme
It was sooooooo hard to touch type. I still think I was faster with my two fingers.
i reckon i got finger dyslexia or some weir dshit they aint come up with yet, ive spent hundreds hours doing online type course things, i just cant make my fingers do it, the athritis in one lil finger dont help
im only bloody 40 an falling apart
I feel this. My fingers switch cuz I have some fine muscle control issues. Its frustating.
lol ya, i broke my hand quite bad as a youngster playing rugby, never did heal right an suffered since with trouble in little finger that hand
anyway enuff life story crap, im gonna finnish this bottle wine an enjot boxing day lmao once i get a nap
Down that bish and have a great night Sir 🫡
does having ORP cause you to get a respawn timer when you die?
pvp does that an since orp is pvp related i guess so
ok cuz i turned off the respawn penalties for ORP and im admin. so i just kill myself in volcano before logging off so nothing on my body gets taken by players but seems i got a 30 min timer...which is what our ORP is
everything else is set to 0 for PvP penalties
just seems coincidental is all. was wondering if there was another setting im missing that might be causing it
you got a 30 min respawn timer?
yea
idk why. its happened twice now. first time i thought i may have accidentally logged out next to turrets but this time i double checked
gotta have the pvp respwan timer set wrong id say, cant rem its actual code though , u can try google it of look on the ark wiki, but there is one specific to pvp respawn
pretty sure orp is still broken
Anyone experienced with reading a server crash log? I have a UEMinidump.dmp, CrashContext.runtime-xml and CrashReportClient.ini files.
LowLevelFatalError [File:E:\ASAContinuous\Projects\ShooterGame\Source\ShooterGame\Private\ShooterGameInstance.cpp] [Line: 829]
Requested mods failed to load on server.
Winter Wonderland and Silent Structures mod/s.
delete those 2 mods and reinstall them they seem broken
u can find the mods located here C:\GameServer\ark-survival-ascended-server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame\Mods\83374
find the id and delete the mod and redownload them
first problem is nitrado there garbage
delete your mods folder and reinstall all of them again
ORP should have nothing to do with the respawn timer
@solemn grove This^^^ posted in multiple channels
Has anyone got the "Super Spyglass Plus" mod working, our server enters a boot loop once installed it?
use awesome spyglass bro its been released for ASA its the superior mod
how do you guys deal with the 50/50 bug on your server?
how do u mean 50 50 bug ?
You know the bug where there server clones dinos/structures and sends it to 50 latitude and 50 longitute? it was in ASE and its back in ASA
oh i havent experienced that yet but i am sure someone here knows as iv seen someone before talking about it
1 Enable item dupe check.
2 Always dinowipe manually after a bootup.
3 Admin gun anything else that sips past.
@humble thicket do you know how to open the in game settings for that mod, can't find the command?
It says "Several options can be disabled via the admin settings in game"
do u mean the ini ?
It says the INI settings take effect for new saves only, once loaded into an existing save, you have to use the in-game menu to change settings.
But it doesn't say how to open the menu, I checked the ShowMyAdminManager but no avail
are u on single player ?
unofficial - nitrado hosted
oh then u just gotta get the ini settings and paste it into the gameusersettings.ini
[AwesomeSpyGlass]
AllowGPS=True
AllowCrosshair=True
AllowFoodList=True
AllowBuffList=True
AllowItemList=True
AllowOutline=True
AllowPlayerTargeting=True
AllowStructureTargeting=True
AllowCrateTargeting=True
AllowLootTargeting=True
AllowEggTargeting=True
equip the awesomespy glass then hold "r"
there u go this is for ase but should work on ASA awesome spyglass
i mean R lmao
legend, thanks!
😂 oh he wants those settings i am a idiot
i know it shouldnt, but its the only thing ive changed and now im having issues
Whenever I try to join a friends server, it gives me the message 'lost/timedout connection to host'.
My other friend is able to join just fine, and I am aware that this is a common issue, but every forum I read basically just gives me the answer 'tough luck buddy'
@humble thicket i been using Super Spyglass Plus, and just tried awesome spyglass, loved awesome spyglass on ASE and with ASA awesome spyglass is not showing right GPS for me its off, you notice if its GPS is right for you
what do u mean the cords are off ?
Super Spyglass Plus and shinny dino mod show 18, 72 and awesome spyglass shows 23, 69
i havent even notice coz i dont use the cords at all i just love to see the dinos mutations and torpo levels and also it highlight all the tames around u which i like great if u wanna find those little mosquitos for cp
i use the cord for finding shinny dinos lol, the shinny dino tracker gives cord locations, guess for now going to have to keep both in inventory lmao, use awesome spyglass full time and other to find shinny dinos
should be fixed soon i mean the creator of awesome spyglass is a good mod dev and i mean i cannot live without awesome spyglass i used it since 2019 on ASE and never went back same with S+ im praying it comes to ASA at somepoint
same, i been using QOL+ on ASA its a port of some of the things S+ had
yeah even me even config the ini already 😂 got my fab crafting fast now just waiting on the QOL chem bench
even my forge melts metal and wood like nothing XD
i want the QOL tek dedicated storage and the storge deposit thingy
maybe next update i hope damn but mod is good i also did my mutations to stack till 20 XD so now i need element and to do bosses still just started my rex line
yeah i need element also, have almost all the tek engrams from killing shinny dinos
but that mod dont give element for killing them so need to do bosses to get it
yeah i think of just farming them nonstop and btw i can send u the qol ini i got everything for that mod was a pain to get but XD worth it
also check out a mod called asa teleporter alot like awesome teleporters i use it
i have my QOL kind of setup didnt go crazy with it lmao
XD i just did all the setting increase the range of nanny etc and also mutator and thats it and did the crafting speeds for the QOL structures
also my pull range is 50 now coz damn i hate the short range
i dont even use the nanny lol
i use to but i got egg incubator mod but its working garbage doesnt even show the dino stats ugh
i have "Super Cryo Storage" its kind of like dino storage v2 its cryo terminal can incubate eggs and auto capture babies and imprint them
il check that out i had a cryo mod but since they release cryo pods i just change there ini now the are exactly like they were on ASE
Super Cryo Storage also has a gun and empty pods stack lol
and what i hated about dino storage is no cryo sickness so its bad for pvp u can spam peoples turrets with stegos none stop
Super Cryo Storage has a Cryo sickness setting
oh thats good then il def have a look at it coz i want some mod that act like ASE incubator so i can see which eggs actually has mutation and which dont that i can get rid off
coz hatching eggs and hoping is annoying lol
that it dont have, cant see stats on the eggs
damn thats what i want bad that is why i got the incubator mod shows stats but all is 0 0 0 0
wish it did wouldnt have to kill so many dinos lmao
exactly and it makes breeding stacking mutations a breeze
it can be set to send fertilizer to crops though, and have beetles convert poop
i think the qol farmer or gardener also does that for u
it does
Super Cryo Storage has admin settings that let you enable/disable all the "extra" stuff it can do
il give it a look do u run arkomatic ? which one is better u get automated ark and arkomatic which one do u prefer
Hello, I have an issue. Some of my players are unable to connect properly, and this coincides with the arrival of the Winter Wonderland mod. Does anyone have an idea?
could maybe be there mod is outdated maybe try deleting winter wonderland and reinstalling it
i dont run that
im tempted to get it coz damn grinding arb etc is all i do at this point haha
u do not run primal chaos by any chance ?
nope
damn trying to get the perfect turret damage for it its on x4 now seems abit to op for me but iv not had a raid yet so not sure but turrets hit for 4k
21k hp argy dies in 3 shots lol
lol
but then again now imagine good saddles and mutations might not be op but il check it out but thanks for the mod will try it later
well figured out why GPS cord are different
??
hit M once that map and double hit M map show different gps cords
One son have epic arc evolve and other steam version. Can they do multi-player? We install epic game launcher on steam and that didn't help. We are on same wi-fi.
awesome uses the gps cord from single hit M map, and other 2 use cords from the double tap M map
only if they had a dedicated server epic and steam can play together
i am not sure about non dedicated
Has anyone found an ini code to allow dinos to be cryopodded after they've been damaged recently?
i want it myself
Same. I cant find that info anywhere.
its annoying man i hate it want it so bad i found the other cryopod stuff in the updates channel
I know its dumb just waiting at a cave to be able to cryo my wolves up when I'm trying to leave.
yeah exactly its stupid but hopefully we can get the damn setting soon
Fingers crossed.
thats why i use a cryo mod that has option to allow capture of dino in combat
Is that the pelayori cryo storage mod?
Super Cryo Storage
also allows saddle to stay on captured, and if you use the shiny dino mod it dont remove the shiny when cryo
That's fair all I want though is the classic ase cryopods lol.
same i want as less mods as possible
yeah i only have 5 and one of them is the winter event
We only have the ark addition dinos and a deco mod. But don't want to add any more.
DisableCryofridgeRequirement=True in your GUS.ini
It was in the patch notes from like 2 weeks ago
I needed it so ppl can deploy the Raptor Claus podded tames from the Nice gifts. Then i tell them to despawn the empty pod. We use Pelayoris Cryopods.
That code disables the need to be by a cryofridge. I was looking for a code related to removing the 60 second cool down after a dino is damaged before I can cryo it.
anyone else spectator mode not working
Ah ok ignore me I just woke up lol
Lol it's all good, I'm only awake now because of work.
Cheat enablespectator false
does that work
I wouldnt type that out if it didnt
alright mate thanks
False is supposed to keep your character
okay
True destroys it like in ASE
okay
Can multiple island maps be clustered together
Clustering/transfers isnt supported yet. Wont be until SE comes out in March.
ASA having a problem with my server nobody can build near a supply drop cant find a way to turn it off anyone have a fix?
PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=True
in gameusersetiing.ini
let me give that a try
hmm so i added the command into the gameusersetiing.ini but still dose not work
nvm i put it in the wrong one thanks
Do you have ServerPve=true?
is ASA is there a way to only get lvl 150 dinos?
like ALL dinos be level 150?
yeah
yes i got it to work tho
or like no low level ones
Only if there is a mod for it lol
Ark hates us.. why the fuck would they give us high lvls
Custom Dino Levels allows you to customize your levels...or equalize them...or make them like ragnarok....whatever you want basically
Why are people advertising clustering/transferring if it’s not available?
There's a mod.
Spin the wheel and take a chance on the mod. I barely trust WC with transfers, not sure Id trust a mod either lol.
Right now small tribe server settings are:
4 × Taming
4 × Harvesting
4 × XP
0.5 × Mating Interval
3.5 × Maturation
3.5 × Hatching
0.6 × Cuddle Interval
3.5 × Imprinting
1 × Hexagon Reward**
What setting do you change for 3.5x imprinting? Making a non-dedicated server and I don't see a setting to change
is there a code i put in the ini to remove arks new bad cryos from the engram list?
https://ark.wiki.gg/ engram control part
cant find it, deeply autistic
Yes, in beacon you can override all spawns and set levels. No mod needed
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_EmptyCryopod_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_CryoFridge_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)
google tells me its this, havent tested it though
so having a problem when i change the BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier it did not apply on my server any fixes?
i did do a restart after i put it in
nitrado server?
yes
stop the server , wait 5 mins, make the change in game.ini save it, wait a minute, then restart server
ok noted
ive had nothing but issues with the in game orp, its broken as all hell
yea, we tried to add for the holidays just so players could relax on christmas but all we've had were issues. so we're getting rid of it
hopefully that fixes the stupid respawn timer issue as well
could just set to pve for now untill after the holidays
Anyone know the. Command to increase turret limit on single player? I cannot build like I want to with limits in place....
edit settings before hitting the single player button
Any specific setting? I've went through it cannot see anything
anyone having issues with setting up a higher difficulty override? i set my server up for a difficulty level 6 yet nothing spawns in over 150. even with a dino wipe nothing. any ideas?
Any one know where I can get detailed instructions on how to install Winter Wonderland on dedicated server being ran on a PC?
Install the mod. Done.
Game ini, make sure maxlevel=false
you can add -mods=927090 to the start up line in bat file or if you start the server through steam, right click it , properties an add that as a launch option
seems it must be a hard limit. as i see no setting for turret amount. same as the area amount of xmas lights allowed
I'll try that, thanks.
Maxdifficulty=false is the setting you need. Be sure to do a wild dino wipe afterwards.
yeah i just saw that it was check marked in the general section, thats a new option i think. so i should uncheck that correct?
Correct
ty
so id did not work
what line are you changing and in which ini?
game.ini and both BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.01
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=0.01
that shud work, it will not change any babys in the world already, will only effect new babies
that makes way more sense were killing all the babies lol
you dont want babycuddlegraceperiodmultiplier=0.01 that line changes how long you get to cuddle the baby before it stats losing effectiviness or refuses to imprint ,
set it to =1 or higher but 1 is normally just fine
noted thanks
I am using Dinosaur Discovery Mod and I entered this into my Game.ini
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Crab_Character_BP_ASA_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Basilisk_Character_BP_ASA_C",ToClassName="")
But doesn't seem to remove them, does anyone know if I entered something wrongly?
the code is correct but likely wont work with modded dinos, most mod configuration is done in gameuser.ini under what ever heading the mod author specifies , i wud try in the mods own discord see what the modded dino codes are
these are the spawn codes they provided
did they state that it shud go in game .ini? did you dino wipre after doing that to remove then ?
Yes
not sure then sry, mods can be a bit of apain sometimes
Has anyone got experience with hosting a server via docker? I've already got a server running but now I want to change the settings, where do I have to change them and what do I need for certain settings/ is there a list of settings that are avaliable?
https://ark.wiki.gg/ full list of the settings
Thank you but do you know how exactly I put these settings in the right place?
How do i turn off transfer on my nitrado server plz can someone help?
How do i turn off transfer on my nitrado server plz can someone help? @everyone
not sure on an install via docker, dont know what that is , some sort virtual machine running windows server?, but you changes the ini files , prob found at something like this path,
steamcmd/steamapps/common/arksurvivalascendeddedicatedserver/shootergame/saved/config/widowserver
Thanks 👍
Quick question, can i still setup a Non-dedicated server for me and my friend on ASE?
yes
Cool, ty
okay so i’ve tried everything to get a server setup on my 2nd vps. if it matters which i doubt it’s US Central. and my first is hosted in germany.
I’ve kept the 7777 port and have tried changing all ports by 2 as someone told me before, that way it’s not the same as my first one.
it literally doesn’t show on the ark servers list. i’ve tried everything from the (servers list video) portforwarded all correctly, copied settings from my other vps that works along with the firewall settings and it’s literally just not working
Yeah assigning different ports to additional servers doesn't work on my setup either. Running it just like my ase cluster (without the clustering) does not work as the dedicated server ignores the port assignments
mine ignores port assignments also, others have gotten it to work though not sure how
@celest halo
use -port=7777
not ?port=7777
why do every guide say to use, ?listen in the start comand , yet wiki says its summit to do with devkit an has no use on a server?
prob because WC dont even fully know launch commands, if you check the launch options on steamdb they really wrong
ok i go read that , thanks
dont need to they wrong they have ```Launch Options
0. Launch (Map: TheIsland)
Executable \ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe
Arguments TheIsland_WP?listen
Launch Type Unspecified
Description Launch (Map: TheIsland)

Executable \ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe
Arguments TheIsland_WP?listen -UseBattlEye
Launch Type Unspecified
Description Launch (Map: TheIsland, With BattlEye Anticheat)
Operating System windows```
default uses battleye dont need a -UseBattlEye
So after all these updates and everything all my settings reset back to default and I fix them all back to where they were and now my server isn’t showing up my name of server reset back to default EVERYTHING 🤦🏻♀️ on ASA
I’m so annoyed rn
Are you stopping the map, saving changes, then restarting it again?
I always stop server to make changes I save I turn on and then I restart
But it must’ve done this over Christmas
Also note that the map may say its stopped, but its not, and you should give it 5 minutes to ensure the save takes.
Everything reset back to default as if I JUST bought the server
I got all the mods still
thats been happening alot on nitrado servers, keep a copy of your ini in notepad so you can just paste it back in
Just the server name my admin pass everything went back to normal my settings everything
That’s happened before in ASE especially. Just have to restore from default then recopy your settings again.
It took me forever to stat servers bc I’m not that “techy” when it comes to that stuff
Granted I get faster at it each time but still takes me a while
Always have a copy of your inis on hand for disasters.
Or just use Beacon and it saves it all for you.
im a bit ocd with them, i have copies going back 5 years along with world saves for servers that are probably never gonna go online
never trusted nitrado after they completely wiped an entire server and said whoops nothing we can do
Tempted to just delete and redo bc i don’t have any idea why it’s not showing up on the list 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah i have several folders full of backups lol.
Yea I never wanted to go back but I wanted my own ascended server
sometimes it can take a while for it to show up
A new map can take ages to show back up again
And “nitrado” was the only host service and I know it takes about 5-10 mins usually
Mine is default map
Bc I didn’t know how to get a different map on there
puketrado
I had to wait over an hour for my 8th map. Just gotta have patience.
Annoyed is an understatement to how I’m feeling rn I am so infuriated with nitrado rn
I NEVER have issues when it comes to hosting ark on another provider I used
But everytime I go to nitrado something ALWAYS happens 🤦🏻♀️I love ark I do I just hate how it messes up constantly
stuck on “ joining server ( server name ) “ , no matter if it’s unofficial, my own single player, or official, please someone help Google says nothing
I can list my problems with other providers but I dont want to type that much. They are all equally bad imo.
Id un install and reinstall the game. Unless you are pc? If so, does your pc meet min specs?
I am PC, already tried an Uninstall, my PC defo does because this bug is semi new, when the game first came out, I was playing severs fine, 60fps, I took a break to let the graphics be updated and optimised and came back and now this.
Are you trying to run Winter Wonderland?
If not, is the game updated?
I don’t think I have winter wonderland installed to be honest
Steam doesn’t tell me there is an update, did try verifying the files too
Are you just trying to play single player?
might be your issue, most servers have it on, download it from mod list then try
You mentioned it fails there as well
oh crap i forgot you cant get single player to load
When joining unofficial it makes u install all the server mods, I thought at first it was a mod issue, so I uninstalled them all and attempted official, but. I just get stuck on the joining server screen, my game doesn’t freeze or anything, I can still press escape to quit the game or go in settings etc
I get let in single player every now and then, but then I get stuck on joining single player and it just doesn’t let me in
Also when you deleted the game to reinstall, did you delete the game saves as well? I know they can muck things up.
I deleted it from steam and went into the files and made sure I deleted all the files it had aswell
So single player is hit and miss? With no mods?
Yes, I try both single player and official with no mods and it still gets stuck
Im going to send you to #bobs-with-probs cuz this boils down to a game issue. Im not much for pc game troubleshooting tbh.
Yeah I’ll keep trying there but never any replies, also browsed the bug reports section on the ark website but Wildcard still haven’t addressed the issue even tho I’ve found quite a few reports on it, thanks for trying to help anyways!
Sorry about that. Good luck Sir.
What makes mating timer less for fertile eggs and laying unfertile more often to
Anybody know how to get alpha metal
Is there anyone who can help me out of an issue I ran into on my server
What happened
Server been up for a while. Working great. Tonight I added two mods and without realizing it deleted a tek creature mod. So tek tames disappeared obviously causing a lot of panic lol. No prob I added them back and rolled the server back. However all of my player stats dropped to official rates The code never changed and I have tried about everything I can think of to fix it with no luck
@neon basin
Weird. I definitely shouldnt have changed. I honestly couldnt tell you ive come to the conclusion this game is very broken and definitely not ready for release. I wish i could be more help. You could try deleting the code for player stats and recoding it. But im sure u e already done that
Yea. I deleted it then retyped it all in and still nothing
Hrello! Some dinos, not only Babies, are often under foundations after server restarts. Have anyone same issues? On ceilings it seems working better but is there some way to improve this or have to wait for patches?
Are you stopping the map when you are saving the ini changes?
Yes
I always do. Learned that lesson the hard way before This is the oddest thing I’ve ever come across so far
Do you use beacon? Ive run into this before and shooting an update via Beacon fixes it.
I have beacon. Let me give it a shot
Does anyone know what makes Dino’s lay eggs faster so I get more of them
It reads in general that higher value =more tho
less than 1 makes more
Didn’t mean to edit that but this was my response
LayEggIntervalMultiplier=0.5 this line will speed it faster than offiicl
Ok ty
so you will get more eggs]
Ima dm u
i cant seem to login to nitrado, anyone else?
has anyone found a mod that is a good replacement for the omnitool from s+
Hey can someone please call me I need help with my server
why does my friend get sent back to the main menu when they try to join my non-dedicated session?
anyone able to help me with setting up a cluster for the OG ark?
Alright I got it I had to erase my data and admin commands started working!
how do i use the taming speed multiplier in dododex
this is unoffical help not LFG
How do I increase tribe tame limit for my server?
these 2 in gameusersetting.ini MaxTamedDinos=5000
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=20000.000000
personal tamed is tribe and the first one is the tamed dinos per server
sure i can help
the lower it is the faster it will be
for example 2 would be x2 wait lets say a egg lays every 10 mins then would be 20 so lower for dinos to lay eggs faster
ty
np man happy gaming
So .3 is better then 3
yes
yes sir
Ty
np problem XD
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.04859485 also lower is faster mating XD
this is my settings so i wait around 30 45 mins to mate again
thats on rexes other stuff is faster
does anyone know if removing the christmas event mod will remove christmas trees and lights?
if you remove befor official mitigation, it will for sure
okay i am hosting a server and people are asking me because they want to farm up extra trees and lights but when we remove it january not sure if it will all be gone
Yo does ark acended have barrier on Xbox series x for private pve
@frail atlas you keep all decos and chibis and skins
including the trees and lights?
Wouldent make sense to farm that stuff and lose them after event is over
i undestand the forge skin and smithy skin staying but couldnt find anywhere if the tree and lights would stay
I would imagen so best way to be sure is to go in non dedicated spawn in stuff then save and remove the mod
well i deactivated the mod and the trees did stay
Skins and chibis may have vanished. Many people have reported that after removing the mod now before the file mirgation, the trees, snowmen, and lights remained, but all of their skins, chibis, and event items vanished.
I know on my server after we removed the mod, anyone who crafted the structures skins. Those skins along with the structure itself disappeared
Is there a way to enable cross ark transfer yet?
to travel where exactly lol ?
Not till scorched comes out
svartalfheim
i have not even tried that i think clusters aint a thing right now atm think will be implemented with SE then dedicated servers would get the option
PUM! One Punch Man
Does anyone know how to answer my question? The Christmas event mod is active but the dino colors don't activate in any way, how can I fix it?
there are paid mods out there that do this, if you're into that kind of thing
You done a wild Dino wipe?
Yes, but not spawn
I tried uninstalling the mod and installing it again, but it won't work.
That's strange. Maybe uninstall and reinstall the mod, but before you do a server restart, go into your general settings and tick the 'wipe all wild creatures' box and then restart the server.
Speaking of winter wonderland problems, does anyone have an issue with raptor claus not spawning? Went a few in game days without him spawning before I realized and haven't found a fix since 😅
Sorry no
@fallen jolt lemme know if this works though. I have Dino colors working at least 🤣
Hahaha, i tried this 😭
guys is there any way to get mods on epic without using tek launcher or whatever the fuck that is called
i'd generally use quite simple mods like awesome spyglass and a stack mod
mods work exactly like they work on steam....client side, select in game. server side, get mod id and add it to your server command line
if playing on a server it should autodownload the mods to your client
Can you have a alliance in pve ? And if yes how do I set it up ?
Hello everyone, we have the problem that players are throwing Cryos out into caves. A chamber is placed above the cave and you can then use it in the caves. Is there a possibility that the cryos cannot be thrown out in caves
Only Cryopod mods have this restriction available. So you would have to switch to a mod and add the restriction in the ini.
Im in a unoffic server but idk how to check the taming speed multiplier all i kno is i used 600 mejorberries and tamed a 170 dino in 15-20mins
sounds like x1 or 2 man thats really slow
well he never said what dino, all he said is that dododex is not accurate, but it is
why does it say timed out when my friend tried to join my non-deticeted server?
Generally means there is a connection issue but without more info it's impossible to narrow down. Start by making sure your ports are forwarded correctly and if you are running a multi router network that you aren't double NAT
thank you
Do Kairuku still warm you by being around them?
If you got time can you send me a DM with a slightly more in depth explanation please
I'm new to the game
On the baby food consumption multiplier how do I turn this down and if I do will it mess up baby maturing
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1(game.ini) lower will make it eat less, so 0.5 halfs the amount they consume, does not effect maturing
Ty bro u have been amazing super helpful
Do you use beacon
I was thinking of looking into it
i do , but not to upload to server, i always copy pasted the ini codeline i wanted from it . it is ver good, the free version is great , the paid does alot more stuff if you need those things
Do you know if you have the anyone can imprint Dino does everybody get imprint buff or just the person who claims
only the owner
just the person that claimed baby, it just means anyone else can imprint to get it full if for say you was busy and cudnt do it
Cool
How do I enable cheats again with admin password ingame?
Does someone know the command line to have the building collision the same as on official servers?
enablecheats yourpassword
Thanks 🙂
bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=True in game.ini , change it to false an u get same as official
Thanks great!
So I got around to sorting out what was causing imprint timer for a baby giga to be at 33 days for the first imprint and I can without a doubt trace it to the winter wonderland mod. Rolling back was the ONLY way to u do the damage that mod caused
glad u got it sorted, weird it gave issues for yours an not others, wonder what they messed up
I have no idea lol but it was 100% the winter mod that did that
id seen it change mutiple servers to dynamic config, not what yours did , thats kinda crazy
I can believe it. It caused me a lot of grief. Just glad it’s unbroken now lol. I’ve learned my lesson to never download a mod for any official events again though
lmao, i guess its the same as adding any mod, backup server and ini files , install mod and test . if issues got the backups
Exactly. That and wait to see if people have problems with any mod of interest first
i always tried use as few mods as possible running ase servers,
the one friend that like loads mods on his, i always was having issues with, trying fix, waiting on updates , etc etc etc
at one point he had over 30 mods an i was like nah, i int trying sort that mess out, you gotta narrow that list down lmao
That is quite a lot….
yea , used take like 10 mins just to load in the server lmao
Bet lol
While it’s on my mind I wonder if anyone else had problems with the helicoprion mod? When it was installed the underwater caves would be packed with enough megs to almost crash the server. There was literally like 300 megs in each cave
never used that mod, might be worth checking out the mods discord if you havent already
Yeah that’s good advice
The Ark wiki has ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity for ASA marked as ?
Has anyone tried it to override stacking numbers on certain items ?
Anybody wanna play non dedicated primal chaos on Asa PlayStation?
works fine, use same code as ase
Guys I'm having an issue where I used ghost command while mounted and now my dino is flying under the mesh, cant get it back and cant mount it. Is there a way to teleport it back to me? Theres a TeleportCreatureToMe command but I need the dino's Id and I can't access the dino's menu
Have you tried blink rifle your way to it and then use a cryo pod on it?
I used the ghost command, I can see it but the cryopod won't work on it, probably cause its "ghosted"
Ahh ok understood
Does the green rifle work to show a dino's ID? I don't remember but if it does maybe that'll work
Might look into that. Somehow managed to whistle the Dino back up after relogging... now its back up but its glitchy. Everytime I dismount it, my character falls trough it. Really weird.
An idea might be to add the Dino pick up mod and try that. Maybe picking it up onto your shoulder then putting it back down might fix it, or cryo and redeploy it... if not then maybe if when you're off the Dino, activate ghost, hop on your Dino, then put the command in again to deactivate ghost and hop off, see if you fall through 🤔
Trike
Thats an inaccurate answer but ty
sounds like taming speed 5
If it's on a server, restart will fix
Thks!
fixed
Can u extend the tether on series x ark ascended? Getting rid of tether was best part about upgrading to series x for first ark. For split screen.
Just wondering why my server is hidden behind a "Show Player Servers" button when I spend $1000 USD a month for machines and full DDOs protection running my unofficial servers
AND running a discord community with 11,000 players
As if these nitrado servers know the first thing about coding or programming while having all of the players. You gotta realize how unprofessional it makes our servers look when they are called "Player Servers".
probably because it's hosted under the player license granted by purchasing the game - otherwise you'd have one of those special Nitrado licenses. the TOS has the full details.
How does one make custom stack sizes, for things that aren’t affected by the base stack size multiplier (raw prime meat, turrets) AsA
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=20,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
in game ini , will make prime stack to 20 and ignore the standard stacking multiplier,
you can adjust what you need from it, or goto https://ark.wiki.gg/ for full details
god i could kiss you, not actually i’m no perv
Is cross platform enabled by default on unofficial dedicated servers?
not if its nitrado, you need to enable it
This is home hosted. So, should be ok?
yea shud just defaut to allow all
Hello so I’ve noticed that resource rocks like crystal and metal haven’t respawned in days of playing is there something wrong with the server because I need to do a metal run lol
@silver jasper you running mods
No it’s just plain asa
you built near a resource node
I’m not close to the volcano which is where I farmed the first time
if theres any buildings near resources pillars ect any thing will cause them not to respawn
I checked multiple times and the metal nodes never repeated
Does anyone know the setting to change or add to disable cryo sickness on pvp servers?
Respawned*
what sort of server ?
@stable hedge get a mod
My private asa world
u cant disable sickness on pvp without using a mod , far as i know
Haven’t built anything on the volcano either
so it singleplayer?
Somewhat I have my brother on it too
sry not to sure on non -dedicateds probably try #bobs-with-probs
yeah i wouldent know what to do either you do get sliders when setting up the servers for resourse respawn rates though
thats about the extent of my knowledge for non dedi / sp
oh thats a good shout, maybe just make the resources respawn super fast , if not google a setting that makes the world not hinernate, i cant rem off top my head but know ths is one
Yeah was gonna make them spawn rly fast just have to find the setting if there is one
it wil lbe called resource respawn rate
👍 ty
is there a setting I need to enable to allow people to build on pillars without being on the ground?
Does anyone know the name of the mod that disables cryo sickness on pvp servers? I can't seem to find anything that works with ASA
super cryo pods is the one we use i think
Has anyone managed to get bAllowUnlimitedRespecs=True to work?
yea works fine , in game.ini
note- if u have a cooldown timer already , it has to run down before the new setting takes effect
yeah tried that didn't work for 2 people 😦
tried putting it in GUS and no luck. This is for an ASA server not sure if it makes a diff
yea works fine in asa
nitrado server?
it needs to go in game.ini
3 restarts wont help if its in the wrong .ini , id check for future an make sure it in game not gus
it is.
bAllowUnlimitedRespecs=true
MaxTribeLogs=500
...```
sry i was thinking this comment
o right, it didn't work the first time for another player and me when it was in game.ini so I tried putting it in GUS as well
should've made it more clear 😄
ah kk, delete it from there if it still there, just easier if have future issues
is fine , i actually kinda read it wrong too
All good! Thanks for your time and help 🙂
anyone know another ini to up wild dino levels because overridedifficultylevel does not work?
it does work for everyone else , so... server , single player?
server i just found out from another player its cause maxdifficulty is set to true
Are the override player levels still capped at 135?
prety sure yea , it wudnt work last time i tried testing i
Thank you.
Is there any way to improve server performance as my server lags alot. Do I change anything in nitrado Game user settings to improve it or is it a ark problem. Cause its really unplayable for me.
Hello got a question I wanta open a server is the old ark still good to make a community on or is it not worth my time ?
Ok ? Is this your server crashing?
@gaunt berry start by ditching nitrado and renting somewhere else that will clear a lot of lag up
anyone got any good game ini setting for nitrado
How do you see server frame rate in ASA?
setcheatplayer 1
Thank you!
@olive forge no need to enable anything for cross platform if it's a dedicated server... Just need to be careful with mods
Any updates on the single player save bug?
probably not
Hey all - I have an unofficial server running on one PC, then I have 2 other PCs who up until the latest patch have been connecting in via the server listing. Since the last patch one of the PC's can no longer see the server in the server list. I have tried all sorts to get it back, but can't seem to find it. There is no option within steam to "join a game" either.. The server just doesn't exist for one of the PCs, yet I can find it fine on the other - any ideas please?
you can direct join
open [IP]:Port Password?
if its passworded yes
yeah it is.. and the IP needs to be in brackets?
ok... I'll try withoout brackets.. it tried to open something but just hung on a black screen when I tried it 😉
but that was with brackets
if its hangin glike that chances are its a firewall issue
did your server pc update at all?
possibly windows update
yea windows might have swapped some firewall settings, it shouldnt have but hey its windows lol
never had issues before but don't know for sure that we have firewall ports open on that PC would need to check
firewall isnt a port thing, just let the asa server application through, idk y ppl be over complicating firewall exceptions on here
It's also probably not a firewall issues if one of his other PCs can connect fine
it is if its the firewall of that one pc, what i got out of what he said is one of his servers has dropped an no one can connect
What I read is he has a server and 2 other PCs one can connect other can not
let me reread it
so its all in the same building... 3 networked pCs.. one running the unofficial.. 2 connecting to play.. 1 can no longer see the server in the list.. comes up fine for the other. Only difference between machines is one is wireless
ah ok i see it now i misread it the first tim elol
is the one that not connecting updated in steam?
yup - both running same ver
hmm
that is an odd one i will say
did steam itself update? i know on ase sometimes steam had an update along side the game patch that if you didnt update both it would do weird stuff like that
as far as I know they are identical
for steam to update you have to restart steam just fyi
will check integrity to be safe
that also could help
yeah it's just been powered down/up
the fact you cant even direct connect on one and can on the other is the baffling part
its got me stumped.. before Christmas it was working flawlessly since launch... now it just won't show.. can't connect via steam friends list, or get it to show in the server list.. opening the game in via the console gets me the error message "invalid server password" even tho its right
try not using password in direct join command, it should bring up the password prompt like it woul dif you normally joined the server
it doesn't initiate the password
well wtf lol
