Not being rude , you need to go to youtube and you will get a good amount of information and good visuals to understand uploading, if you only have one map and want to use the upload you can by clustering your nitrado map to itself.

[clear peak]

ok, thanks for your help

[west plinth]

if you dont enable cluster on nitrado you wont see the option

[clear peak]

ok, thanks

[west plinth]

On ase you didn't automatically have cluster settings on nitrado, I've not rented a server for asa. However in my experience if cluster wasn't enabled and linked the upload option wouldn't show up.

But I could definitely be misinformed

[clear peak]

So @polar echo is right, when I enable CrossARK the item upload option does work, but then it only allows me to transfer characters to another server, it takes away the option to upload the character.

Just have to figure out why the item upload isnt working for me, i guess

I'll go through the config and see if I can figure it out, must be an incorrect setting somewhere. Thank you, I appreciate the responses

[jaunty mist]

Cn anyone help with the admin gun in my friends server the range of the admin gun is pretty low and we can’t figure out how to adjust it higher and the dino commands will not work the gm summon! Dm me if u cn help

[jaunty vortex]

If this is a mod, you’d be better finding if the mod dev has a discord and asking there.

[mental narwhal]

What should my cuddle interval and mature speed be for getting easier imprints on babies? I’m raising megatheriums if that helps.

[jaunty mist]

It’s not a mod it the normal discord the admin gun is too short the red gun don’t work as far the dino gm command won’t work

[thorny sage]

are there known issues with omega dino storage or RR homedecor mod? we have very high ping on our server since a few days

[turbid pier]

Why cant my friend join my ark server with his apic client? Steam freidn can join. Its ark server crafted with steamcmd

[restive lance]

evolved

[turbid pier]

huh?

i am the provider.
thats my best efford to enable crossplay:
start ShooterGameServer.exe Ragnarok?listen?SessionName=Ark-Am-Arsch?ServerPassword=penis?ServerAdminPassword=01001?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=60420 -crossplay
exit

[keen quiver]

Quick question. If I disable a Dino from spawning on my server will this also delete already tamed ones? If so is there just a way to stop them spawning without deleting tamed

[distant hearth]

quite why you have max players set at 60420 is beyond me, but probably the epic player will need to join using the server ip adress an port,
google how.
you can look up the server on battlemetrics website to get the ip adress and port its using if u dont know it, port shud be 7777 as thats what the command line settting it too

[olive talon]

It's pinned here

[turbid pier]

tsenks ju

[olive talon]

Snow asked me to re-pin it a little while back so it should be the first or second on.

[distant hearth]

its the first pin 🙂

[turbid pier]

very confusion

-PublicIPForEpic=<IPAddress> just the ip adress?

and where to set 80 and 443?

just activate them on the router as the others?

ok gut

[keen quiver]

So for example rather than disable I added this, would it just stop Dodos spawning and replace them with nothing?
NPCReplacements=((FromClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C", ToClassName=""))

[olive talon]

Yep

[keen quiver]

Perfect. Thanks for the reply

[velvet geyser]

is there a way to ban someone from your server thats not logged on to the server

how would i get that if i dont know where they are logged off at

evolved

xbox windows 10

yep

[turbid pier]

who is an expert regarding ark self hosting and epic games crossplay?

[muted slate]

Does anyone know how to change the turret limit? I've tried disabling it in the settings and adding LimitTurretsNum to the config files but it causes a restart loop

[velvet geyser]

does anyone know where i can see xbox gamertags and in game names of players on nitrado

[wise kindle]

Should be a section on the left called Player something. That will list every player who has ever been on the map.

[velvet geyser]

yea i see that screen it shows gamertags and i can ban them is there a way i can see both the gamertag and there in game name

[wise kindle]

Nope you need to play detective

[velvet geyser]

alright

[turbid pier]

my epic friend cant joine my self hosted server, steam works fine, why

[blissful trout]

If I upload my dinos off the island, then switch the map to Scorched earth, will they be there to download on to Scorched?

[olive talon]

They're based on your account, not your character, so yes

[devout quiver]

Can anyone help me for this? for whatever reason on my ASA server i'm only getting one crate and its always the blue crate out of the swamp cave. Is there anything i can do to fix this? like a server command or in my settings for the server? Thanks for ur help

[wise kindle]

If you have custom drops and they arent done correctly, this can prevent other drops from spawning.

[civic ruin]

Hey folks, I was wondering if the windows 10 or steam versions of ASA are crossplay compatible with Xbox versions of ASA on a home run dedicated server?

[olive talon]

Both are crossplay as long as it is a PC hosting the dedicated

[devout quiver]

It’s all default, I never changed any of that.. 😦

[wise kindle]

Is this single player?

[devout quiver]

Nitrado server

[civic ruin]

Thank you so much

[distant hearth]

if nitrado still has a setting random supply crate points, make sure its disabled or off.

[keen cloud]

So on my private server any new mods recently added won’t let me unlock the engrams for whatever item comes with them. Be it an update or what have you. Is there something that needs to be done?

[distant tiger]

I am trying to setup crossark transfers for svartalfhiem and the island in prep for SE. We are running into an issue where transfers work perfectly until a player plays on a server outside our cluster. Once they do this their character on our cluster is 'lost'. I see their file in the cluster folder but they only get a character create screen... Any suggestions would be appreciated! (cmd lines used in tests|| (-NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=xxxxxxxx) || ||(-NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterDirOverride=D:\arkservers -clusterid=xxxxxxxx)|| Both in separate install folders and in a shared install folder.

[devout quiver]

I don’t see this option, is this a line in game.In or gameusersettings?

[waxen robin]

quick question. Say someone transfers servers, they crash mid transfer, the game cant find their character...
There is still a file with there EOS_ID in the "cluster" folder.. how do i turn that back into their account with out it crashing the server?

of i change the file type back into an .arkprofile, and move it back onto a map, it crashes the server. so is there any way to save that persons account?

[wise kindle]

Its a checkbox on the General settings page

[brittle echo]

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Kibble_Base_Special_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumable_Veggie_Citronal_C",BaseResourceRequirement=2,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumable_CookedMeat_C",BaseResourceRequirement=20,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",BaseResourceRequirement=5,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_RareMushroom_C",BaseResourceRequirement=2,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumable_Veggie_Rockarrot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=5,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumableEatable_WaterContainer_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

Does anyone see anything wrong with this line? All my other kibble changes have worked except this one, I even tried copying a different kibble and just changing the kibble name but still nothing

[devout quiver]

i actually think this may have fixed it. i'm going to try now. thank you guys ❤️ @wise kindle @distant hearth

[static adder]

Hi everyone, i am trying to implement the soap to element on my server but for some reason only the first half (element shard to soap) works and the second half (soap to element) will not show in game. from the videos i have watched i have input everything correctly.. Any advice would be wonderful

These are my codes.. im not sure why it isnt working

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumableSoap_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=True)))
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_Element_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumableSoap_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=True)))

[devout quiver]

never mind ;/ this didnt work 😭

[wise kindle]

If its a cave drop, they dont always vary. Sometimes a blue drop spawns in the same spot every time. Unless you are saying every cave drop in every cave in every spot is blue?

[devout quiver]

No, only for swamp cave it’s bugged out, other caves like ice I get blue yellow and red and they all respawn. The swamp cave only spawns in the blue one in the same spot

[fair finch]

Does anyone here know how to save custom loot drops? I just recently started a server for my friends and I and I am stumped. Been struggling with this for the past couple hours and YouTube isn’t helping lol. I downloaded beacon and got the drops set up but it doesn’t seem to want to show in the drops on the server

[distant tiger]

Player has a character on my server and is transferring between svartalfhiem and the island with no issues even after multiple transfers. Player then stops playing and goes back to the main menu and goes to another server with a completely different character. When they come back later to play on my cluster again their character is 'lost'. I can see it in the clusters folder but they only get the create character screen. I have tested this with my own character and fell foul of the same problem.

[distant tiger]

I can see the character reference in the cluster folder and I can see only their .arktribute file in the island save folder and no save reference in the svartalfhiem save folder... And yes I understand where they should be and so do they but the character is just gone.... it seems like something about playing a different character on a different server is some how wiping the character on my servers if they are using server transfers between these two maps

Yep I do understand that.. hence why I can't figure this out...

[distant tiger]

tried copying the file in the cluster folder to <filename>.arkprofile .... game created a <filename>.profilebak as it should but still only the character create screen... going to try a full rollback and clusterfolder delete. everything in one install folder with altsavedir and this cmdline ||ArkAscendedServer.exe Svartalfheim_WP?SessionName="xxxxxxxxxxx"?AltSaveDirectoryName=svartalf?PreventUploadDinos=True?PreventDownloadDinos=True?RCONPort=xxxxxx -port=xxxx -WinLiveMaxPlayers=25 -NoBattlEye -ForceRespawnDinos -exclusivejoin -clusterid=xxxxxxx -ClusterDirOverride="D:\arkservers" -mods=962796,930404,942024,955451,935528,929785,949521|| edited for each map of course and try to run more tests... will report back when done

new character create works fine just they are new so lose tribe and access to all things which of course can be admined back but does not fix the issue happening long term as I cannot spend all my hours admin resetting characters should the player go play another server.... and yes altsave was within same instal... before coming here I tried many configuration/cmd line options. The one I am about to try is a stripped down generic cmd line in a single install hence the altsavedir just to remove any variables between them.

it just overwrote it

will do that in these next tests.. since I can replicate with my own character I can test and watch without pestering them to retry a lot.

[distant tiger]

So I ran a lot of tests and it would seem svartalfhiem is just not handing the profile to the island or the island is refusing it. Either way no matter how I transfer or attempt to correct things the profile just never gets replaced on the island server after leaving svartalfhiem... Interestingly I could transfer back and forth with no issues even when there was no player profile file on either server. Of course when logging out this would mean there was no character all remaining as the profile file was lost on the first transfer back to the island... replacing the profile with a backup would restore the character but sometimes the game would crash on login but may be unrelated to the profile replacement... I am going to create a fresh install - no mods and attempt to recreate this behaviour.

[tacit linden]

Hey guys, can anyone give me advice for Nitrado server maintenance. Are dino wipes and restarts important and should I be doing these daily?

[olive talon]

A restart daily will not hurt anything, especially if you have mods. Doing a daily dino wipe can be helpful for overspawns.

[distant tiger]

Thank you! That triggered a thought and since this machine was rebuilt but the drive just installed and used as is from the previous build there may be conflicts in ownership underlying this.. will go down that path a bit to see. 🙂

[haughty pollen]

If I set DisableStructureDecayPvE=true why would structures still be decaying when logging back in? Do structures get set into some sort of decay=true state at the end of their life and is there no way to save them?

[olive talon]

Using that config turns it off completely. They won't decay. Users will have to manually demolish buildings.

[haughty pollen]

Yea, for some reason it just autodecays even withe verything off

self hosted

[distant hearth]

u are telling the server to be pve right?

[haughty pollen]

Yup

It previously had autodecay on. I've turned it off, but as I login pooof - all gone. So odd

[distant hearth]

always worked fine for me so not sure why it cause u issues :/

ServerPVE=True
DisableStructureDecayPvE=True

those two lines under [serversettings] header in gus.ini is what i always used

yea also check game.ini for this line ,
bAutoPvETimer=false

i think it can just not be there to be off by default but can rem off top my head

[haughty pollen]

ignore me chaps... i've found my error heh

[distant hearth]

duplicate?

[haughty pollen]

Missed cmd line arg - foolish

[distant hearth]

i keep my cmd line bare minimum, use beacon a bit , but usually just to cop paste the ini lol. yea yea i know im weird

i dont like that beacon adds its own lines to the ini... which i know dont matter but it bugs me lmao

yea , i know , tbh if i had a large cluster id prob just switch fully to beacon

yea id bet, its so cheap too despite the free version does so much stuff anyway .

i have always just done stuff manually so got used , my way do things hahaa

yea i dont like that way, wont work when aberation comes out

well i guess it can , but lot more work

it uses a custom day / night cycle

i say custom, non standard

yea, many ways to skin a cat .
i just have a method i use an know works for me lmao

yea makes sense, i never ran own ase servers , they was all on host services, along with the other couple dozen i looked after for other people lmao

aye 100% if nitrado didnt have exclusivety for asa i wud never known self host wasnt that hard

i was on xbox for many years so it wa snitrado or no way

it was ok, i used my laptop to configure the servers, manually backup etc .

many years of dealing with them put me off.
the main cluster i looked after was from an affiliate of theres that streamed so they was really good, wasnt till later on using private accounts i realised how bad they were

the affilate servers i cud contact support an get things sorted under an hour 99% time.
the private ones , days later still no response from support , then get connected to someone that knew less than me

[wise kindle]

oof

[distant hearth]

that sounds about right tbh, u know there shoving ton servers on vm an hoping for the best

shared vm id guess, they get away with alot as server dont get used /less use than others etc .

lmao that is funny, im in uk. we always go for the german server , there better, lower ping an smoother than uk london ones

yea i think when more maps release nitrado will lose alot buisness as it becomes more cost effective to rent dedicated

[surreal grove]

is there anyone that recon this line from the server? FNetGUIDCache::PeriodicCleanAndCompact: 11.43ms total time [ 9.70ms CleanReferences() and 1.73ms compacting]; ObjectLookup.Num()=75955 [54 removed]; NetGUIDLookup.Num()=75562 [393 removed]

Cant fint what mod and what it is... think it has something with decay to do... we have a problem on the server where structures are disapering like doors and stoarage...

[wise kindle]

This is appearing on everyones server, something WC added. No idea what it is.

[surreal grove]

aha okey... hm weird stuff

[wise kindle]

Im guessing its related to garbage collection

[surreal grove]

but the garbage collection.. i thought that was the dino depot mod

[distant hearth]

do u have alot mods? maybe some conflict causing the issue.

[surreal grove]

on the pve server we dont have many.. .but many mods are relativ... we have like 15

but on the overhaul we have 35

[distant hearth]

yea good point, i consider 15 alot, but if u have 15 building mods, thats likely cause issues.

ea game, third party mod coding..... well headache

i bet there is, lolz
but it was just a wild exmaple

[surreal grove]

haha no not just building... dinos, storage and other smal server stuff like admin panel and ASa-bot

[distant hearth]

both server cause the issue or just one?

[surreal grove]

jsut the one.. .

[distant hearth]

if just one, then u already can narrow the list , if any mods are shared

[surreal grove]

yea 15 is not much...

its the same mods only morre on the one thats dont have issue

soo thats not narrowing down..:)

[distant hearth]

thats good, discount the mods that are shared, then look at the building mods not shared an see what ones might be iffy

[distant tiger]

I got rid of any possible ownership issues fresh installed the partition,server software and created a 1 mod (Giganatoraptor) 2 island map cluster. I even tried to run the servers as admin and Still it will not save the profile when transferring to the island... Am nearly at whits end here 😦

the machine is a 2x xeon E5-2960v2, 20cores @3ghz with 192gb of ram and the servers are on 1tb samsung ssd's. Ive run ASE clusters and Atlas grids with no issue and I am completely stumped by this atm.

[slate bridge]

Hey guys - im prepping for scorched. would anyone know what setting i would need to change to make sure wyverns need 1 x wyvern milk ?

[distant hearth]

there isnt a setting specific to do that, its impossible, as a level 15 wyvern wud need more feeds than a lvl 150

[slate bridge]

yeah im looking for wyverns over 150 to have 1 wyvern milk haha 🙂

[distant hearth]

what is the cd \ command doing ? is on linux ? sry im not good with puters but did alot testing with asa command line on windows

[distant hearth]

you can raise one with no milk ,just got know how ... the setting u want isnt a thing....

[wise kindle]

You would need a mod for that I think, not sure if anything like that exists.

Id just tweek maturation on that map so they grow up before they need it.

Like 50x maturation or something.

[slate bridge]

i dont mind doing the whole server settings, i just want to slow down the higher wyverns so they some milk otherwise wyvern miilk will be obsolete on my server

[distant hearth]

its obsolete anyway , cryopods exist

[distant tiger]

No as the rig still performs every single thing else it is doing with zero issues... I could probably transfer everything to my personal rig but not sure how that would be much different besides the OS being win 11 vs win 10 on the workstation. but will try after tea for the heck of it.

[slate bridge]

true but some people might not know that XD

i want people to use a wyvern milk to on their baby wyverns to grow. current settings they wouldnt need it

[distant hearth]

afaik its not possible, u can lower all dino growth speeds, but then theres still ways smart players get around it ...

[distant tiger]

technically redundant, it ensures the dir is cleared to root before the cd cmd below it... but saw it in Skarvig's vid on cluster setup so desperate to try just about anything atm.

[distant hearth]

but its all still relative to egg level, a lvl 15 dino needs more food before it die than a lvl 150

[wise kindle]

I guess raise the baby hunger?

[slate bridge]

yeah baby hunger may do it !

[wise kindle]

food consumption I guess

[distant tiger]

gonna try to remove the redirect on the cluster so it sits in the main folder ... after I try the current set on my main gaming rig. cheers

[distant hearth]

well here is the thing, kiss

im dumb so simple works for my stupid ass.

i do from sepearate folders for each server , use the clusterdiroverride , but dont make that folder manually, let server do it .
i.e -clusterid=asacluster -clusterdiroverrride=d:\asa1cluster

when u login in map an go to transfer it will make a folder on d drive , called asa1cluster , inside tht another folder with the cluster id name , in this case asacluster
in that is where the files stored for loading into map

it shud be noted that there are know issues with asa transfers,
if u have a char in upload already it often just fucks up the data an wont let any downloads.
if u dont stay on the map u transfer to till a world save happens, some times it doesnt transfer the ark.profile to the map save file

ure prob right, im going off memory , which mine is bad

[distant tiger]

specifying the folder only causes the cluster to be at that level.. so with your example your cluster would be d:\asacluster\clusters\asacluster.... by leaving it d:\ for example it would then raise to d:\clusters\asacluster which is why I just use the d:\arkservers path.

but anyways gonna try the default so it puts it in the default location for testing to eliminate that as another issue

[frail ferry]

So is any word of SE confirmed yet?

[olive talon]

This channel is for server setup help. #announcements has all information available.

[frail ferry]

Yea I wanna setup my server using SE

[wise kindle]

It would be super cool if they would stop breaking the fix for the babies floating to the sky barrier 🤦‍♀️

[loud comet]

is the game.ini just blank for ASA?

[distant hearth]

it is on first server bootup yea , it defaults alot stuff. then u can add to it iff u want to make chamnges

[hidden helm]

Im trying to find some specs on what is required for ASA servers to run. Does anyone got any?

[distant hearth]

to run well , couple cpu core 2.2ghz up , 16gb ram an say 25gb disk space . for upto 20 players

they will run on on less, depends on the player count, mods etc . mostly it likes ram

[broken halo]

How long are you letting character stay/play on map after transfer ie 10-15 min or are you logging straight off after trans

And sorry I'm coming in late in convo I tried to read up on whole issue but I'm sure I missed some

[tepid swallow]

How do I use Rcon with my ark server? Going to use ARKon but it seems to not come with a instruction on what do.

[delicate smelt]

Do I need to add the mod for the Gigantoraptor to appear in game or is it now in the base game?

[rose peak]

Anyone a good coder for fiber craft? dm

[olive talon]

Yes.

[distant hearth]

fibercraft code is just a whole ton of game ini crafting overrides, ark beacon omini app can do the code for you in 1 click of abutton.

i dont know if the free version does or not though as i had the paid one for years

pretty sure if you google fiber craft ini , you can find the codes needed tbh

[distant tiger]

I have done both. It would seem the profile isnt transferring which seems an instant thing when I was moving to svartalfhiem... I did some further tests with an ultra simple cmd D:\arkservers\xfrtest\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="XFR2"?AltSaveDirectoryName=xfrtest2 -port=xx85 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=25 -clusterid=xfrtest Which did allow the profile to transfer to the proper place... I am now in the process of determining why it worked where others fail... ie long server name, target override dir location etc etc... Going to build in complexity till it fails again.

[distant hearth]

that command line is already got an error tbh as u have
AltSaveDirectoryName=xfrtest2? -port=xx85

the ? is used before a command not after , shud be ,
AltSaveDirectoryName=xfrtest2 -port=xx85

far as i can tell the ? tells the server to look for a command, if its not there or wrong it ignores it

[distant tiger]

good catch remnant from an edit as I have already stepped up complexity... that was the one tested that worked... fixed it to look right just now 🙂

[distant hearth]

i apent a few days messing with command lines so i figured mostly what stuff does lolz .
lots time an effort but it helped me learn what was going on, to the point i realised u can starta an asa server with simply arkascendedserver.exe theisland_wp
if its run from the folder the exe is located

gives it a random session name asgined in the gus .ini and port udp 7777

[distant tiger]

Aye 🙂

Am relaxing with some game time the now.. needed a break from cmd lines and restarts hehe

[distant hearth]

enjoy , taking a break often time u come back an be like , ah i see . click tap tap , sorted

[errant fox]

what setting does the dino cap level fall under? I believe it's naturally at 450 but should be changeable right?

[distant hearth]

ilevel cap as in the official cap to delete dinos over that level, or the max level of wild dinos ?

[errant fox]

level cap, not max wild levels.

[distant hearth]

its something like
DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp=450
450 being the official setting, i think it also needs usestatclamps=true

[errant fox]

Thank you I found it in Beacon. The wording for it was weird.

[distant hearth]

most of ark code is weird or bacwards, you kinda get used to it after a while lmao

[errant fox]

True.

[scarlet ermine]

Anyone having connection issues with their clusters?

[tropic needle]

Do we still need to use the xbox app to purchase a nitrado server? (To play on the server from xbox) I have credit on the nitrado website so I would like to purchase it from there if it works. Thanks.

Thanks 😊

[frail ferry]

i try to turn off wild babies from spawning but not working, anyone have a working line ?

[distant hearth]

there is only one line ,
-NoWildBabies
as a server start command

if ure on nitrado , until they put an option in for it , your stuck with them .

[nimble locust]

Do I need to put the dear jane mod id in my command line like other mods?

[wanton hinge]

You can self host too

You do not need to go nitrado. You can rent a VPS or bare metal and run one for much cheaper.

[zealous plinth]

Does Xbox unofficial just not work ATM or is it just me? I've tried every suggestion the Internet has. Im trying to host a non dedicated on ASA on Xbox X to play with my friend who's on PS5. Server doesn't even show up in the server list. She has everything checked correctly when searching. I've tried making it private and public.

[compact goblet]

I still have the valentines event and gigantoraptor mod on my server, Have they been integrated into the main game yet?

[obsidian ravine]

Hey guys I cant get custom skins working on my unofficial. Ive tried adding custom skins like mickey to both server and client but there is no option for it on my cosmetics tab when I right click the slot. And I have the following in GSU.ini

[ServerSettings]
CosmeticWhitelistOverride=URL

[celest halo]

love ascended been in it since 3/11 patch all patch notes are in #patch-notes Love Ascended : Migrated needed assets into the base game so the mod can be disabled.

[compact goblet]

thanks

[celest halo]

last i knew non dedicated was not crossplay

[zealous plinth]

That sucks. How you gonna have a cross play game without the cross play smh

[native wave]

works fine on a dedicated server setup for it, the only exception is on non-dedicated servers

[obsidian ravine]

Just to be clear the custom cosmetics option on the menu doesnt even show up. The last menu item is split stack when you right click the option

[zealous plinth]

I'm aware. I just don't feel like paying $16/months for a server that my friend occasionally hops on on her day off. If a game is marketed as cross play it should be completely cross play imo. Maybe by 2030 😔😂

[native wave]

so find a common dedicated server to play on together, not that hard

[bleak ivy]

there is a new menu, next to the folder view button.

[zealous plinth]

What part of "day off" doesn't ring your bell. If we played on a server our dinos would starve to death between the times we were able to play.

[obsidian ravine]

Dang that is not easy to find. Appreciate the help

[stiff steeple]

yo can anyone help me get started? Im new

[wise kindle]

Use”URL” with parentheses

[native wave]

There's multiple ways around that....one of which doesn't even require mods to do it. They can certainly help with that but are not required with cryopods in the game. Not to mention some server admins may be willing to modify their servers if it brings in people to play on them. Get a friendly admin and you may be able to have them customize it to your playstyle.

[muted spindle]

how do i host a modded server that i can play on with my friend

[timber stirrup]

has anyone run into issues with windows defender on server 2022 locking up and crashing the server when trying to scan the asa server files. We've been tracing some issues and it all seems to point to a conflict with defender and asa not playing nice. Defender tries to scan, asa says the file is open and won't release it with enough time for defender to retry or move on causing it to lock the service and crash the server.

[muted spindle]

when i go to buy a server and it tells me like 10-20 or more slots, what are those?

[muted slate]

My server keeps crashing for players when they use a sickle to harvest. Any idea which setting is causing this?

[olive epoch]

Someone knows if the GCM is bug?

[peak sapphire]

I have tamed dinos starve rate set to 0.1 on my servers for that very reason. I like to take breaks spanning weeks or months and never have to worry about tames starving. The beauty of the setting I use is that it doesn’t require mods and it also doesn’t effect the taming process only dinos once tamed.

[native wave]

definitely another option

[peak sapphire]

It’s set like: CosmeticWhitelistOverride=979950,977906,985934 and so on

[jovial walrus]

Anyone elses server just got wiped ?....
After the cash update today ?
Everything is gone

Uofficielle server Forglar
We are in contact with Nitrado ....😢

Nitrado had opdatet it and starter it again and everything is gone.....

We still have island
But there is a opdate on on server but we are afraid to opdate ...

[jovial walrus]

Nobody?

[distant hearth]

it happens , if you dont have backups or any manual backups, only nitrado might be able recover it

[jovial walrus]

Never happened before
We have backs up
But all mods have also been taken of ?
By who ...

[distant hearth]

by computer magic

[jovial walrus]

So nitrado just remove our mods ?...
Uhmm..

So we can't play with mods anymore..

[distant hearth]

just add the mods back, somehow the server got wiped when it did its update, add mods back, load backup to before it happened, hope it works

[jovial walrus]

Okey thanks 🙏 we Will try

[jovial walrus]

We had g portal before and had no problems
But we can only rent at nitrado now

[hearty rock]

Anyone knows how to use beacon to change the cost of crafting element? I want to change the cost from Shards to Obsidian. 100 Obsidian = 1 Element

[wary musk]

I'd like to slow leveling down a bit on a Scorched Earth server since those playing on it agreed. Do the settings for experience gain accept fractions, something like below?

KillXPMultiplier=.75

[stable ledge]

I’ve got a couple players complaining about supply drops losing health abnormally fast, is there any INI to adjust it?

[stable ledge]

Using beacon for it is ideal.

[hearty rock]

@stable ledge Yeah, just have to figure out how --> Used some instructions but they're not working

[stable ledge]

You go to the crafting requirements section, add element, then adjust the element crafting requirement to be 100 obsidian.

I don’t think it’s a beacon omni only feature.

[worldly mantle]

Does anyone know all the coordinates of the artifact caves in svartalheim?

[tepid berry]

Yes, it accepts floating point values just fine. But use 0.75 - use a leading 0

[wanton shard]

hi does anyone have any idea why im getting the error shootergameserver was unable to start 0xc000007b

depency walker says it cant fine loads of dlls which are in the binaries folder and are definetly there

how ever even a fresh install doesnt work

[velvet geyser]

How do I adjust dino resistance? Like nerfing a dino in nitrado

[distant hearth]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#DinoClassResistanceMultipliers
use ctrl f, search for resistance
go through till you find the examples of code adjusting the resistance,
then u will have to look up the creature id for the dino u want to change

[wary musk]

Thank you for the tip!

[velvet geyser]

thanks home dawg

[tepid berry]

DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="RockDrake_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=2.000000)

Just keep in mind that multiplier kinda works backwards from what you'd expect.

If you up the resistance, it takes more damage, if you lower resistance, it takes less.

Because...wildcard. 🙄

[distant hearth]

always ass backwards coding

[velvet geyser]

TamedDinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="Stego_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.8) is this correct?

[velvet geyser]

and is this also correct for replacing dinos NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Carcha_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Thylac")

[olive talon]

ToClassName=Thylacoleo

Iirc

[distant hearth]

correct to do what ? that code will make tamed stegos take less damage ,
The replacement code is wrong, you need the whole dino character name, like the carcha has the whole name ,

[olive talon]

Carcha should be correct

[velvet geyser]

you sure it wont make them take more damage?

[distant hearth]

(FromClassName="Carcha_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Thylacoleo_Character_BP_C")

from memory , double check it

[distant hearth]

im going off memory, so not certain, in fact i read the wiki just now an yes it seems your right. it will make take more, sorry

[velvet geyser]

alright thanks

[desert jasper]

Updated to 36.25 this evening and now our server not showing in server browser for me and others. I can't find the post but I think I read someone else had this issue. Any suggestions to help resolve most welcome.

[broken halo]

OK who has good knowledge on cluster transfers ? @distant hearth ? OK situation is I want to delay item and Dino transfers to SE but allow characters is it possible yet ? I know it wasn't prior but curious if anything has changed yet

[distant hearth]

nothing has changed, but we can just hope the scortched earth update fixes it.

i cant see them wanting officials to have full transfer

[broken halo]

OK thanks I was sure but just wanted confirmation 👍

[spiral geyser]

anyone know how to fix the stuff with nitrado not showing certain mods

like i can see paleo ark on my first and oldest server

but on my newest server I cant see paleo ark, the new server being purchased today

my other admin cant see it on the new server either

[wise kindle]

Cant see it in Nitrado or on your map?

Cuz it doesnt look crossplay, so if your map is crossplay then it wont show as an option.

[grizzled lichen]

I just bought a ARK server from zap hosting and i cant find it by favorites or the server list what do i do
ARK: SE (+ Ragnarok, Aberration) Locatioin LA

[cunning urchin]

theres gotta be some sort of picture otu there that explains how far resources respawn next to structures

[grizzled lichen]

One of my logs

[wise kindle]

Did you out in a ticket with zap hosting? What did they say?

[grizzled lichen]

They said there server is up to date with steam and restart server

[wise kindle]

If you just ordered it and havent touched the map yet, thats on them to get it running.

[grizzled lichen]

Can you try to join it and see if it works

Maybe it’s because I don’t have a ark event listed in the settings

[fair finch]

Hi so I opened creative mode on my ASA unofficial server and I still don’t have the admin blink rifle. How do I fix this?

[distant hearth]

enablecheats <youradminpassword>
cheat gcm

this shud give admin rifle then you press one the buttons to cycle through, destroy,blink and info modes of the admin gun

[fair finch]

Right I’m aware that SHOULD give me the rifle, but it doesn’t

[peak sapphire]

Enable GCM to disable the command, then respawn or fast travel and enable it again

[wise kindle]

Do you have an an password setup on the map? A password is required for admin mode.

[fair finch]

A password on my server?

[wise kindle]

Admin access always requires a password. If one is not set it will not let you use it.

[astral zinc]

Please fix the anti mesh settings for servers. Our server has it off and people are still getting killed by landing on the side of volcano mountain

[fair finch]

I dont think that’s correct but thanks for the idea

If he means an admin password, I have a password set up.

The issues i am running into aren’t related to a password

🤦‍♀️

Admin password

I understand lol

The issues in running into are two at the moment. My inventory is completely empty with no implant, and when it has an implant and I try to craft something, nothing shows up. And my blink rifle isn’t there

Gcm

What’s the long code?

Ok I’ll try that

[astral zinc]

Please fix anti mesh volumes on volcano and snow mountain

Sorry

[grizzled lichen]

My server is 358.24 would that have to do with anything of me not bneing ale to see it on the sessionm list

Is there a difference between Ark and ARK: SE (+ Ragnarok, Aberration)
?

Im playing survival evolved

Renting

What do i say

Im currently doing that and it seems there as lost as i am i feel like i have to be doin gsomthing wrong

[wise kindle]

Inventory empty is typically a corrupt game install. If transferring, respawning and reinstalling all the mods on your client do not fix it, the only other solution is to reinstall your game. Its a common issue atm.

[worldly mantle]

Are gigas and carchas still not spawning, any suggestions?

[fair finch]

Reinstall worked, thanks so much

[graceful hornet]

need any help dm me ive ran multiple on evolved new to asa but almost same aspect

[gaunt berry]

Anyone know the Spawn code for the animated rex skin?

[coral falcon]

Nitrado?

[worldly mantle]

No, hosted

[coral falcon]

I was having this same issue yesterday until I turned off the extra gigs charcha mod, then turned it back on. Then I wiped all wild Dino’s and it fixed it

[coral falcon]

Also keep in mind the spawn chance is still under 3% and is normal if it takes time to see one

[worldly mantle]

What is the cartridge mod?

[coral falcon]

There is a mod if you just type “Giga” it will show up. It increases the spawn chance for gig as and carchas

[worldly mantle]

Perfect, I'll add it to the list of mods, I thought that when I updated the svartalheim, the gigabytes would appear on their own without the need to add another mod

Do you have hosting too?

[coral falcon]

I noticed sometimes clicking the mod to uninstall then reinstalling fixes problems. Make sure if u change any mod that messes with Dino’s or Dino types that you wipe all wild Dino’s after you start server back up

[coral falcon]

I host nitrado server for me and my buddy

[worldly mantle]

I'll keep it in mind

[worldly mantle]

.

Do you know the bot manager called UACA'S. ??

[dusty cove]

Any ideas why this week we have had summoners in the oceans on one asa map and now wild turkeys on the beaches on another one?

[grizzled lichen]

Yeah I definitely need your help

[tardy pine]

The settings to block item and dino downloads are broken?

If not then you can set download blocks on those categories in the configs.

Sorry it's hours later but I was using the blocks just fine a month or so ago

[wise kindle]

The settings arent broken at all, it creates a different issue. Disabling either items or dino transfers cause a bug that gives errors and blocks character transfers telling players they are carrying prohibited items when their characters are full naked. Repro’able with fresh naked respawned characters. Anyway, its random but frequent and occurs often enough to warrant just telling ppl to not use these atm. It just creates too many issues and blocks more players than it allows.

[native wave]

presumably they'll have to fix that for SE launch

[spice tendon]

does anyone know how to get the skin from the "Magical Unicorn" mod? there doesnt seem to be any info for it. I've searched all engrams for something related to it but nada.

[tulip bridge]

need some help with breeding rates on my server. i have put in EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=15
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=15 and still nothing is changing??? and even changed it in the Nitrado tick box page.

[compact parcel]

Can someone give me rathole location on the map caballus??

[rose peak]

Anyone I need a good Coder which can help me on a fibercraft 1000x no wipe? Message me if you are a good coder

[barren kernel]

Hey does anybody know how to make a cosmetic mod whitelist for a nitrado server, since devs haven't updated the official whitelist in a month?

[distant hearth]

you can try this others have said it works,in the game user setting ini , under header [serversettings]

CosmeticWhitelistOverride=xxxxx,xxxxxx,xxxxx,xxxxxx

where xxxx is each cosmeticmod id u want to have on the server

[distant hearth]

changes that you make will only effect new babies and babies hatched from new eggs in the world

[barren kernel]

Thanks, I'll try it out

[tardy pine]

Ohh man that sucks, I'd be willing to bet it's the custom skins in the cosmetics tab that you cant throw out causing the problem.

Thanks for the explanation!

[north forge]

can increase the mutation chance on my server?

[wise kindle]

Yeah it seems to think skins are still on you - I think its the 3 custom cosmetics icons that are supposed to be permanently in your inventory. Having any cosmetics seems to alter those and they bug the system out.

[sacred kestrel]

Is there a way to change how many generators are allowed in a area. ? I've got a mod that's suppose to be unlimited but only admin can craft that

[wise kindle]

look up "limitgeneratorsnum" in the ark.wiki.gg server settings page to learn more on how to set this.

[distant hearth]

i dont think wiki is updated with those commands yet ,
set this in the game ini and it will allow unlimited generators

LimitGeneratorsRange=1

basically what it doe sis change the checking range for generators to less than a tile , so u can place as many as u want .

[sacred kestrel]

Thank you

[sacred kestrel]

Thank you

Does anyone know if wildcard fixed transferring while items are disabled?

[distant hearth]

not yet, can hope with the next update if they manage to deleiver scortched on time in a couple days

[tepid swallow]

When I start servers in Ark it replaces adminpassword in GameUserIniFile with the password + everything that comes after up until the end of the bat startup line that ends with RCONport=xxxxxx Does anyone know why it does that?

[celest halo]

put the adminpassword as last thing in that section

[tepid swallow]

Solved it in a different way but putting it in the end sounds like that would work too.

[grim garnet]

I have recently started playing the ark survivor evolved once again, but regardless of which world i choice, i encounter the same issue. I play and create a lot of progress with my son, we play as two players. The. I exit to the main menu when finished. The progress saves, but it always makes us both create a new survivor and we end up starting from level 1. We can also find the survivor we created with our progress just sleeping next to our dinos. We have also tried choosing “spawn at random location”, but it takes us in an infinite loop of doing it over and over again. Only way to play is to create a new survivor. Please help. How do we fix this issue so we can keep using our current survivors?

[grim garnet]

Playstation 4 and playing single player coop i belive

Any clue on how to find support?

If i delete the app will i loose all saved data? Meaning saved data in my other profiles?

Gotcha. Thanks for the suggestion. I may need to do that

I started other worlds from zero and they all do the same thing

[robust nymph]

Did this work for you? Saves me taking down a server to test it haha

[barren kernel]

Still haven't tried it

[robust nymph]

Alrighty

[hollow robin]

really random thing can anybody else put pictures on canvas on xbox or is it broken

i take the picture and it doesint save or show up when i hit the canvas with the paint brush it dont show up in the saved pics

[old widget]

Does anyone know the console command to force the server to redownload the mods?

Nitrado

Ok.

The dear Jane doesn’t have the second or third notes and we think the server mod isn’t right

Never mind. There is an update. lol

[fair finch]

How do I switch from the island to one of the mod maps?

[sweet crest]

How do I increase the boss health for my server? I'm currently mutating a bunch of really strong dinos and I'd like to increase the amount of health the bosses have to compensate for the amount of damage my tames are doing. I'm wondering what ini settings I'd have to edit to make that happen.

[pure haven]

Can someone explain me or point me to a guide how to set up cross map chat on asa cluster

[sweet crest]

Well my max dino level currently is 450. And I'm currently preparing to take on all the bosses on alpha difficulty.

[fair finch]

I did that but now it’s not showing on the server list even tho it says started

[sharp knot]

Hey, not sure if this is the right section to ask, but was wondering if any of you might know that if i buy the game on a second steam account and use the in game dedicated server function, do i still need to forward port on my router then?
Since i am currently playing on non dedicated with a friend and there it is not needed

[sharp knot]

Ah oke thank you for the info, rly appriciate it! Might need to try that then, already have the cmd one.
But didnt do the the port forwarding as i heard that there might be secrurite risk with setting those ports open, do you know if that is an issue or is it alright to set them open?
I think non dedicated uses a steam port that is open, but i have no clue which one it is and i dont think they say it anywhere aswell sadly

[sharp knot]

Nicee thank you, again really appriciate it! 😄 will try and do the porting thing then, hopefully it is not too complicated with a vid on youtube about it 😅

[grim saffron]

im working on a unofficial server manager would that be somthing any of you gous would be interested in?

[pallid kestrel]

Transfers without items still broken? Really don't want to add SE with completely open transfers on day 1

[simple ruin]

PreventDownloadItems=True , does not work for me as the cosmetics seem to stop the transfer , i would also like a option to stop vanilla cryopods from being deployed on SE if the transfer settings are not fixed .

[daring prairie]

good morning, i have a quick question. i noticed this is showing up in the Logs on my server FNetGUIDCache::PeriodicCleanAndCompact: 9.86ms total time [ 9.85ms CleanReferences() and 0.02ms compacting]; ObjectLookup.Num()=63471 [0 removed]; NetGUIDLookup.Num()=63471 [0 removed]

can someone explain to me what it means ? also noticed ive didnt seen it the last time i checked. musst say last time i checked was 2 weeks ago

[peak sapphire]

Does disabling custom cosmetics do anything?

[distant tiger]

Ok so an update on the transfer issue a couple of days back. I still am unable to get any island server to accept a transfer in to it and save the profile to disk reliably. There are still many times the profile just never copies over BUT the svartalfhiem map always copies the profile to disk if there was a profile to be deleted from the transfering origin. So I can only surmise there is some issue in the way the Island is handling the incoming player transfer.

Now to the good news part of this -usestore / -BackupTransferPlayerDatas works fine as a way to combat this problem. As I noted in my previous posts the characters leaving the island would transfer the profile fine to svartalfhiem but when they would go back to the island the profile would not transfer properly yet still as long as the player did not log off they could continue playing and transferring without issue. Once they logged off because no profile was being transferred or saved separately to disk correctly they would be lost. The only thing different I could determine when using -usestore is if the server 'crashes' after a player transfers but before a server save the temp profile is not enough to recover the player at the point of transfer it instead becomes a mini rollback, based on server save times, for them as they must go back to the last server they were on before the transfer/ server crash event.

[simple ruin]

It did not work , the only way to travel to another map on my cluster was to allow items , so a cryopod seems to be a item , so you can travel with a dino and items to a new map . This is not what i want , i only wish for characters to be able to move from the island to SE for the first week or so .

[real ingot]

Lets hope the cosmetics/preventdownloaditems issue is sorted on release but its a bit of an oversight. Only realised this was an issue now as I've set up a 2nd server in prep for the map release. Was running checks to see what issues might occur and here we are lol

[simple ruin]

If you find a work around , fix , please post so we all can benefit .

[pallid kestrel]

its been this way since they released clustering

ive just had players making 2nd characters on svart

but the person above us seems to have been posting hella problems with that

is obelisk data character or account bound?

ie can you upload with one chara and download on island with another

i always thought it was character bound but people seem to be telling me differently

[pure haven]

its account bound

[pallid kestrel]

So if I open item transfers in 2 weeks players could transfer items from their SE character to their island character via uploading without losing their main island character?

[pure haven]

should be possible. but you might wanna test it first

transfer is still very buggy sometimes

[sick vector]

Yo @olive talon I found out the way. (before any of this you would need to use radmin VPN or anything similar to create a room on it) So I would host non-dedi srvr and after that friends would go into singleplayer, open cmd and type "open IPv4". instead of the real IP they need to go right click in radmin - friends IP - properties and copy IPv4 paste it after open and it will connect to host's non-dedi srvr. I hope this helps (I tested it yesterday it worked perfectly).

[olive talon]

You really don't have to ping me for any of this. If you got it working then good.

[sick vector]

Sorry for the ping. ._.

[serene granite]

Hello, just curious how Premium Mods work.

1- if i buy a premium mod and install it on the server does that mean Everyone needs to buy the same mod in order to play it ?
2- how does the purchase process work ? (will i lose it and i need to re buy once i get a new pc?) (is it locked to my steam?)

[native wave]

1: yes everyone needs to buy it to play on the server
2: I think it would be locked to your EOS ID....which is locked to your steam account....so just login with the same steam account

[haughty ether]

We are disabling cryopods on our SE and disabling dino downloads...That way players can only bring items and no tames. Most of my community like the fresh start anyway, so most will travel light

[golden nest]

Putting -EasterColors into the startup.bat for the server doesn't apply. I just applied the update from SteamCMD

[ionic monolith]

where do you put the -EasterColors line if on a Nitrado server?

[chrome tinsel]

I too am confused by this lol

[ionic monolith]

Im searching old Ini's. I seem to recall a line added to the GUS in the past for things like this... Just dont remember lol

[chrome tinsel]

It was something like ActiveEvent=Easter

[ionic monolith]

yeah something like that... hehe Gettin closer

[celest halo]

the update has not been released yet for unofficial servers

Name    Build ID     Time Updated
public    13865069    3 days ago

[ionic monolith]

Was in the released patch notes, forgot that it takes 24 hrs for a patch to go live on Nitrado lol

[stable bobcat]

Do you know if we will need to do anything to turn the event on for our servers?

[golden nest]

It's in the patch notes for unofficial servers

[stable bobcat]

I am new to this an very inexperienced when it comes to bat files and how to handle them 8)

[celest halo]

so dont mean that patch has been released for unofficial yet

[ionic monolith]

In past we just had to add a line to the GUS Ini. to activate it

[golden nest]

"Unofficial servers can enable this with the parameter -EasterColors"

[ionic monolith]

yeah that, just doesnt say how to do that via Nitado lol

[golden nest]

Clearly can't enable anything lol

[stable bobcat]

I've seen this instruction, I just dont know where this is done or how it is implemented is all 🙂

[ionic monolith]

im sure the Ini line will get announced soon as well.

[stable bobcat]

No rush or worries, I'm cool to wait patiently if it isnt available yet for unofficial

[celest halo]

it a be a start command arg, for people not on nitrado once the WC overloards decide to release the patch for unofficials

[ionic monolith]

im searching some of my old inis to see how it was written in the past. something like ActiveEvent=blahblah

[golden nest]

-mods=927090,927084 -EasterColors That goes in your bat file

It will enable the Christmas, Valentines, and supposed to be easter event

[ionic monolith]

Nitrado doesnt use Bat files.

[stable bobcat]

Does this have to be done via a bat file?

ah okay that is why it is foreign to me

[ionic monolith]

yup mostly in the Web interface, or we add lines in the Config Files... aka Ini's

[distant hearth]

did u dino wipe after?

[golden nest]

In that case, try ActiveMods= in the gameusersettings.ini

[celest halo]

Nitrado people will have to wait till nitrado updates there dashboard to add the option, they wont add it till after they get the patch

[distant hearth]

nitrado servers will have to wait for nitrado to give u a nice easy check box

[ionic monolith]

Yup Nitrado gets the patch, then confirms it which can be a few minutes to several hours. then Nitrado will upload it to our servers

By then we should see a post somewhere with the command line we need

[celest halo]

first ya got to wait the hours till WC releases the patch for us and nitrado lol

[ionic monolith]

lol

I love how they put out patch notes and announcements, then later actually do the release haha

[celest halo]

[celest halo]

they do the patch notes when official gets it

[ionic monolith]

Get us all excited then be all, "just kidding" lol

[celest halo]

unofficial is always behind by 30min till never depending on the patch

[ionic monolith]

And then theres the Nitrado delay lol

[neon portal]

I host an nitrado server. Do I get the easter colours by itself after dinowipe of do i have to adjust a setting.

[ionic monolith]

Nitrado users may have a line to add in our Ini's

[distant hearth]

you have to wait for nitrado to add an option, or activate, best to ask in there discord

[neon portal]

Ok ty

[distant hearth]

its unlikely to be an ini option imho

[ionic monolith]

Not really any answers over on the Nitrado Discord yet either hehe just a waiting game

[distant hearth]

iirc ase it was a setting in the nitrado ui general settings page. thats the only way they allow you command line parameters

[celest halo]

they still waiting on the patch so they prob dont have an answer yet

[balmy rivet]

It looks like a launch parameter. Not an ini change.

[olive talon]

Does nitrado no longer have a "current official event" thing in the events?

[distant hearth]

it sort of does, but its for the dynamic config to the rates , afaik

[olive talon]

It used to be for the colors and stuff

[celest halo]

not sure Bee, dont use nitrado but right now it wont work even if they do, with patch not being out for unofficials yet

[ionic monolith]

The Nitrado web interface changed a lot when asa went live. Still doesn't have many of the config options as it did b4

[olive talon]

Oh fair point

I forgot

[distant hearth]

yea , its changed a bit for asa from what i seen .

[olive talon]

That's mildly annoying, the interface was already aggravating compared to how smooth gportals is

[ionic monolith]

still no whitelist even

[olive talon]

Maybe it'll get better as more content and time goes by

[ionic monolith]

They have slowly been getting this one in shape... Nitrado speed... lol

[celest halo]

thats almost like wishing WC wouldnt wait so long to release patches to unofficials

[ionic monolith]

I've resorted to using Beacon

[olive talon]

I mean... I do wish they wouldn't go so long, but I can't do anything about it either so

[distant hearth]

u can whitelist just involes alot effort/knowledge of how to do it.
nitrado are doing minium effort imo , just raking in the $ as there sole (setup for you server provider)

[ionic monolith]

We could make it a Drinking Game hahaha

[celest halo]

none of us can, just sucks when they do event patches then wait hours to give it to a huge part of there player base

[wise kindle]

Im gonna guess its ActiveEvent=EasterColors to get it working via ini in Nitrado

[spark egret]

Nothing for activate évent one nitrado page and i not sure thé game ini code :"ActiveEvent=Easter" IS now working on asa

[distant hearth]

oh hell no , i drink too much as it is hahaha

[ionic monolith]

Nitrado seems to have adopted the "Soon" trademark from Sony Online back in the SWGalaxies era lol

[balmy rivet]

How do you change launch parameters on nintrado? Are they checkboxes or something?

[wise kindle]

Just “Easter” confirmed to be the parameter? Or is that the one from the old event that still works?

[olive talon]

I think they mean it does not work

English isn't their first language, they were in #ark-survival-ascended a minute ago

[distant hearth]

you cant, u wait for a nitrado checkbox on the ui, likely a few days knowing how fast nitrado is with this sort thing

[wise kindle]

Ah ok. Im betting EasterColors does.

[spark egret]

I dont know bro

[balmy rivet]

Ew... fair enough.

[ionic monolith]

For Nitrado users were still on 36.25 So have to wait for them to get it, varify it, then upload it to our servers

[balmy rivet]

27 isn't live yet.

[wise kindle]

Somebody try ActiveEvent=EasterColors after they get the update installed

[balmy rivet]

Only on asalive. Not for unofficial at all

[ionic monolith]

Nitrado users are commonly the last to get it...

[balmy rivet]

The people that pay premium prices for basic hardware hosting? Oof...

[ionic monolith]

right

[spark egret]

I will try on one if my map

[celest halo]

cant even blame nitrado for most of the delay when WC takes hours to release it to them

[ionic monolith]

prob be cheaper to just rent rack space, im in small town so dont have the bandwidth to host my own yet...

and to think I had 13 servers with Nitrado back with ASE... *Palmface

[balmy rivet]

I mean if the update goes live apparently you still have to wait on them to make it accessible. Not a fan of that lol

Ah yeah I've heard some people have weird ISPs. Like the whole neighborhood is behind a nat. So no access to ports.

[ionic monolith]

yeah Nitrado puts it through their own verification before releasing it to us lol

my local cable is fastest avail currently and yet im at 150 down 9 up lol

[balmy rivet]

1500/750 here lol

[ionic monolith]

Jelly!

[balmy rivet]

Tbh it's total overkill

[celest halo]

almost in same boat, i get 300 down and 10 up lmao

[balmy rivet]

Brutal. Shitty IPs essentially forcing you to have limited usability of your own damn network

[ionic monolith]

I mean i run my own servers already. Smarthome and all. just waiting for them to upgrade. same company is Gigabit across the river from me ion arizona lol grrr

[celest halo]

thats what i pay for anyway, its normally runs around 350 down and 12 up

[distant hearth]

lol try 10mb down 0.05 up 😦

[ionic monolith]

Ouch

[balmy rivet]

You live in the woods my guy?

[olive talon]

[ionic monolith]

I got a 56k modem to sell ya lol

[balmy rivet]

That's brutal lol I suppose it's better than none

[olive talon]

Back on topic pls XD

[ionic monolith]

lol sorry

[wise kindle]

Did you see the otter skin! AWWWWW

And the saber omg

[balmy rivet]

Hopefully .27 is live soon. Pretty sure it rarely takes them longer than a few hours

[olive talon]

If I still played unofficials (anything really), I'd have all the skins.

[wise kindle]

Massive improvement on the saber lmao. It doesn’t look stupid anymore.

[balmy rivet]

What skin is this?

[olive talon]

#announcements TAS skins

[wise kindle]

The Dear Jane skins

[balmy rivet]

Ahh the ones that look like windwaker skins lmao

Have to check that mod pack out. Is it only skins?

[wise kindle]

I love them. I need a mod that does a full conversion of the game to this lol.

[balmy rivet]

Been looking at the acro and that guys dino mods. Look cool but idk how balanced they are lol

[wise kindle]

Its the skins with the notes. The xp is bugged atm so you dont get the boost but the skins are permanent and you get them on transfer/respawn.

[olive talon]

You do get them on respawn?

[wise kindle]

Yep

[balmy rivet]

😮

[wise kindle]

If you stand there and let Karl Urban finish reading the note (audio) it puts them in your inventory cosmetics tab.

[balmy rivet]

I'm at 20+ mods on server.. I'm not sure how much more I can dump on there lol

[olive talon]

As long as they're not crazy overhauls, it's fine

[wise kindle]

Its tiny, seems to run fine. Im at 23 on 9 maps.

[balmy rivet]

All clustered same node? 😮

[celest halo]

you dont want to do it like a mincraft server with 200+ mods lmao

[wise kindle]

All but one event map

[balmy rivet]

Enterprise hardware im guessing?

[celest halo]

its live public 13888883 2 minutes ago

[balmy rivet]

That's good to know I'm still in safe territory. I think the biggest one is one that adds like 4 dinos to ocean

Currently updating ty ty

[wise kindle]

Nope just a hobby on Nitrado. Ppl like it tho, so we keep the maps going.

[olive talon]

For sp or like nondedi, how would you add the event? Or would it just be automatic since it's not like a mod?

[celest halo]

might have to add -EasterColors to start parm

not sure though

[olive talon]

I'm not very well versed in launch options, but that'd work the same for both wouldn't it?

[spark egret]

Thé game ini command dont work just delete all config ...

[celest halo]

i would think, but not sure i dont ever play SP

[olive talon]

Okie dokie. Thanks for trying

[uncut talon]

how to have the event on the server
Nitrado ?

[ionic monolith]

Nitrado users have to wait for Nitrado to update the servers, were still on 36.25

[uncut talon]

ok, when approximately.?

[ionic monolith]

Its Nitrado, once they receive it from WC, they put it through verification, then they push it to the servers.
So could be half hour, or 4 hours.... very normal lol

[uncut talon]

Ok thanks bro

[slim onyx]

You’re more helpful than half these mods 😂😂😭

[limber jay]

Yo anyone know how to recode crafting recipes? Looking to change the recipe for cementing paste and nothing I’ve tried worked.

[young minnow]

Do you have the code you used to edit the paste?

[limber jay]

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_ChitinPaste_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",BaseResourceRequirement=2.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)

[young minnow]

This for Ark evolved or Ascended?

[limber jay]

Ascended

[young minnow]

And you put the code in the game.ini correct?

[limber jay]

Yeah

[heavy flint]

It's going to sound silly but, maybe change the "2.0" to just "2"? Your code matches what I use for my server exactly except that part.

[young minnow]

Yea far as I can tell nothing is wrong

[desert monolith]

Got the 36.27 update, don't see an easy option for adding/checking the EasterColors option. I'm going to try putting "ActiveEvent=EasterColors" in the GameUserSettings.ini and go from there

[limber jay]

Alright thanks. Is it possible I could get a screenshot of yours just so I know for sure

[young minnow]

wait I found error

[limber jay]

What’s the error

[young minnow]

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_ChitinPaste_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",BaseResourceRequirement=2,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

you missed the end brackets

it has to have 3, you had 1

[limber jay]

That would make sense. Thanks

[heavy flint]

ahh yep. That's probably it. But in case it's helpful, here's mine (it's for changing the recipe for poly not CP but you get the idea):
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Obsidian_C",BaseResourceRequirement=2,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

[young minnow]

How are you coding them? are you using beacon?

[limber jay]

Na I just looked up some random guy on Reddit 😂💀

[young minnow]

Lol

[lunar cloud]

ARK: Survival Ascended: Obsolete. Adding ActiveEvent= in the GameUserSettings.ini file has no effect.
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

Needs to be -EasterColours in launch params. If Nitrado, check their discord.

[lunar cloud]

I would have loved it to be both, so you can share ini between maps and have one thing on in one and off in another.
I like the idea of having a convention of ?<param> for command line and also supports <param> in ini

So i can have faster breeding in lets say Island (where we are done ascending) and slower breeding progress in SE for example

But without having to have seperate server installs, that would have been nice. I think most GameUserSettings ini can do it, but Game.ini mostly cannot go on cmd

[sturdy ledge]

Is there a way to make the structure pickup timer infinite on ASA?

[proper berry]

It already is by default...

You can pick up any structures in ASA

[sturdy ledge]

Mine wasnt set to infinite, hence why i asked, figured it out though

[onyx gale]

So they're planning to release Scorched Earth as a character-only map. Did they fix being able to set up a character-only map on unofficial?

Because it's been impossible since they enabled transfers unless I'm missing something.

[pallid kestrel]

Probs have not even tested it themselves

Can someone please tell me what it means by, unofficial can enable parameters - easter colours? like where the hell do i enter that hahaha

[lunar cloud]

its just another flag in your start up script

[lunar cloud]

The Prevent item and dinos setting for transfers are not working yet as far as i know. Hoping that comes in with or before Scorched earth

[onyx gale]

It's going to have to by Monday if that's their plan lol

[ivory sail]

Say I wanted to set up a ark evolved cluster what kind of specs would I need for it. It more than likely would be for just me and a friend.

[native wave]

I had 2x 2.7Ghz Xeons running my cluster...plenty of ram. only map I had issues with on ASE was Gen2....it was a beast to run

it was playable but I got lag occasionally on Gen2

hoping that improves with ASA on Gen2 specifically

[steady cairn]

My friend and i started a non-dedicated server on the steam version of ASE and my brother wants to play on the server too, so I shared ark with his account and when he tries to join, it says shared accounts are not allowed to join. We looked it up and saw that there was an option in the GameUserSettings.ini file, AllowSharedConnections, that we could set to true but the option isnt there and we tried just addding it to the file but it didnt work. Does anyone know how to help?

Or at least somewhere I could get help

[pallid kestrel]

game ini, game user ini?

like where on nitrado do i type this easter event in?

[low dew]

any word with the scorched earth release if we can cluster our servers

[lunar cloud]

its a startup flag, not in ini , so ArkAscendedServer.exe <map_name>[?<option>=<value>]...[?<option>=<value>] -EasterColors

if using Nitrado, best check their discord

If they have place to type flags or set them

[pallid kestrel]

fuuuucksake i hate how literally everything in ark is just guessing and word of mouth

like literally why not just post how to activate their event without people having to google 100 things and post in 3 different discords

thanks dude ill get on it

[lunar cloud]

Looks like the community crunch confirms it somewhat You'll only be able to bring your characters over for the first 60 days, you won't be able to bring any dinos or items onto the map

Hope the same settigs work, or atleast they communicate it in the patch notes

[pallid kestrel]

Well confirms that that's what would happen in an ideal world, doesn't confirm whether or not they even know thats not a possible scenario yet

Because they suck a bag of rocks

• we fixed a crash * is basically all their patch notes have said for weeks

if anyone else works out how to activate easter on a nitrado server before me please let me know, if i work it out i shall also post it here

[lunar cloud]

They announced "how to" in the patch notes, if you self host, it's a simple option to enable.
Nitrado should have their bases covered. It's all on them.
Its been a few times now where Nitrado is not ready to support new config\flags
They should know people will want to set command line flags and should provide a dynamic interface for it. Sounds like incompetent server hosting service

[pallid kestrel]

I mean, WC released the last 3 events as mods so this hasn't been a problem, on ASE events were a dropdown list. In the patch notes they just said, enter it into your parameters, with 0 context and also have not had to do anything like this on nitrado before for any other event, so it just seems fucking dumb to have to do something new every time theres a new event

i'm assuming nitrado will just have to add something new to their interface to keep up with WC's fickle ways

[lunar cloud]

Nitrado could solve it completely by just having a smarter inteface. Having a section called "custom" where people can set key\value pairs and have simple validation, would solve this
Ark has many flags and server hosts should support it

[pallid kestrel]

Yeah 100% nitrado are just as bad, but holy shit WC could give a little support to players that are using the server host they gave exclusive rights to

[lunar cloud]

yeah true, they could give a little more support to their hosting partners to ensure interfaces can handle these things

[onyx gale]

It's not a Nitrado thing that's stopping the character-only transfers from happening. The custom cosmetic tool in the inventory is counting as an "item" and blocking the character-only transfer. That's a WC bug, not a Nitrado bug.

[celest halo]

gave, funny way of saying nitrado bought the rights too

[lunar cloud]

the transfer thing has always either been a bug \ or just not implemented properly yet. It's never been a Nitrado thing

[pallid kestrel]

If I purchase a pen from you, you still gotta give me the pen before I have it right

[ionic monolith]

another prob is Nitrado hasnt updated the servers to .27 yet

[lunar cloud]

They're probably scattering to find an available developer over easter weekend to update the UI to add a new checkbox 🤣

[ionic monolith]

Before they just gave us a line to add to the GUS lol. but even thats useless if we dont have the actual patch uploaded. lol

[hasty perch]

How do I enable the easter colors?

[ionic monolith]

Nitrado? they havent even uploaded the patch to our servers yet...

[wooden plinth]

so how do you add the colors to a self hosted server? is it posible i can get an explanation as if i was a 5 year old?

[balmy rivet]

I haven't tested but it looks like a launch parameter in your starting bat file

[versed jolt]

meanwhile my nitrado server has been in an update/restart loop all day lol

[ionic monolith]

ouch...

[versed jolt]

and its like a deathtrap of incorrect clicks to actually be able to make a ticket for it

like no.. I don't want to have to take a coding 101 course to fix an issue with your server

[balmy rivet]

Like that other guy said... selfhost ftw.

[versed jolt]

cries in not enough hardware to self host

[balmy rivet]

Tbh as long as you're not super ambitions and want to cluster multiple maps at once a cheap refurbished dell optiplex or similar is plenty. 4 cores and 16gb ram is the min.

One of my servers is on a 4670k. That's a very old i5 lol

The more expensive one I got a 500 dollar mini pc with a laptop ryzen 7. So 8 core 16 thread and capable of 256gb ram without pulling more than 55 watts

[versed jolt]

yeah I suppose a cheap oldish PC and a spliter to easly switch between them on a monitor would work

I just never really though about it as I already have 2 PCs on one desk

[balmy rivet]

That's why I went micro pc

[versed jolt]

1 strictly work related

[balmy rivet]

I was looking at old cheap server racks... no idea where I was gonna fit that lol

The mini pc is a bit bigger than an external drive

[versed jolt]

my old work place had those

they basically fit in a bracket on the back of the monitor

[balmy rivet]

Exactly. Can be Vesa mounted so not even take up desk space

[versed jolt]

yeah cuz.. its already a wreck here

[balmy rivet]

Imo there an awesome solution

Slightly more pricey but the QoL of not having a server rack sound like a jet engine take off or constantly draw 700 watts is nice and will help in the long run lol

[versed jolt]

Or maybe I just need to splurge and get myself a really nice upgrade and use this one to host 🤩

one can dream

[sage mesa]

Currently running a server through Nitrado with mods. For a few months, my supply drops have been despawning when any item is taken from them with 3 or less items remaining inside. Any idea why they’re disappearing early suddenly?

[fiery jackal]

hmmm interesting, disable Gsync and force stable refresh rate fix light shimmering in game O.o

[silver wharf]

As for character transfer from server to server, there was an issue to enable transfer without dino and item upload, so basically only have the option to travel naked. I've seen, officials are blocked for dion and item upload for 2 Months, when SE rolls out. Is this Bug fixed now?

Dear lord, lets hope for the best ^^
Thanks much for your answer, @polar echo

[indigo flame]

Is this why I can't download a dino anymore on my ASE PVE map ?

All my settings are correct, also nothing has changed but I can't download a dino anymore on ASE PVE. I shall file a bug report.

[lunar cloud]

only affects ASA

Yes it could be many factor, even file permissions on the OS that could change etc
Something definitely changed 😉

[pallid kestrel]

haha i just activated transfers completely on my server, and my character got stuck downloading onto svart, then vanished. tried making a new one on svart and downloading to island, also got stuck and vanished, just lost my main 🙂
even did a 30 min rollback. nada.

cant wait for SE woo

[eager raven]

If you have your maps cluster together with the cluster id make sure no boxes are check in restrictions @pallid kestrel

This was happening with everyone when they first enable transfer we all had the one check off disable downloading player information. If you are cluster outside servers can't join. So make sure all boxes are uncheck

[errant fox]

Plan on clustering and keeping the settings close to Official for transfers. so what would be the settings be to allow character transfer but not items?

[distant hearth]

if it worked / works on s.e release
PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventDownloadItems=True

[spring cairn]

How do you GiveExplorerNote to a specific player?

We have a player who is bugged where they lost a lot of explorer notes on their survivor.

[errant fox]

only command I see gives it to yourself. cheat GiveAllExplorerNotes

[odd coyote]

The only character transfer thing for Scorched is that only offiicial or unofficial aswell? Tia

[olive talon]

Typically it's only official that is locked to 60 days. Unofficials have their own rules.

[odd coyote]

Cool thank you 🙂

[oblique roost]

Sooo, everytime I try to update my server it says it updates, but then tries to download the SAME update when I test to see if there's any new ones. And it won't show up on the unofficial lists. Are the new updates busted or something?

[odd coyote]

We had the same issue a few weeks ago we ended up having a do at Nitrado because it was a problem on their end

[deft stone]

small question eggcelent event is not a mod?

[willow apex]

Hey, is there a way I can limit my server on how many creatures/items we can upload to the Obelisk for when we move per player?

[distant hearth]

look to see if its on v36.27

[distant hearth]

it is not, its not really an event either, just easter colours

[distant hearth]

the defauts are these in gus ini
MaxTributeDinos=20
MaxTributeItems=50

you can change them , but it it is only for each transfer so smart players will just go backward an forward between the two maps to get more stuff over , just takes them bit longer an more travelling

[onyx gale]

I just noticed a new setting I haven't seen before in Nitrado. Does anyone know if disabling this allows a character-only setup to work?

Oops just realized I can't send the screenshot here. It's the Disable Custom Cosmetic System button.

[wise kindle]

Test it and let us know if it works 😉

[onyx gale]

I just may

[wise kindle]

Id test but my test map is occupied atm

[coral falcon]

All it does it prevent players from creating their own cosmetics

[onyx gale]

The button in the inventory was believed to be the cause of blocking someone from transferring to a character-only server. Wondering if disabling it removes the button and allows the transfer

[onyx gale]

As is mine lol

[worldly mantle]

hello

I have a problem, I don't understand why when players use travel between maps, they lose their character. Once they disconnect and reconnect, the window for character creation pops up. I don't see what the error could be, I think I have the configuration right.

I can't send photos to show it F

[wise imp]

is eggcelent adventure gonna be a mod? and if it is, what is the mod number?

[native wave]

Look at the patch notes...how you activate Easter is in those. If you use nitrado, you need to contact their support and get them to add that as an option to their interface.

[upbeat beacon]

In our server we are looking to have a limited amount of upload/download slots when we move maps. Is there a way to decrease the original set limit?

[marsh elm]

We need to ask them to do it 🤣 Nitrado are lazy

[native wave]

Yup...which is why I don't deal with them anymore

[marsh elm]

Madness 🤣 ask them to ask me do I want the event 🤣

With scorched coming I seen on a tiktok that character only transfers for the first 60 days is that on official only ?

[slate bridge]

"To keep things fair and fiery during those first few weeks, Scorched Earth will be a bit of a wild frontier. You'll only be able to bring your characters over for the first 60 days, you won't be able to bring any dinos or items onto the map. After the first 60 days, the gates swing wide open!"

Does this apply to unofficial servers ??

[native wave]

Yeah official only...up to private sever admins to set their own rules. Still unsure if the game will be fixed when they drop scorched so that we can lock them down if we want.

[slate bridge]

nice 🙂

[native wave]

No

[wise kindle]

60 days was pretty standard all thru ASE for new map releases.

Its to be expected on Official.

[distant hearth]

the defauts are these in gus ini
MaxTributeDinos=20
MaxTributeItems=50

you can change them , but it it is only for each transfer so smart players will just go backward an forward between the two maps to get more stuff over , just takes them bit longer an more travelling

[upbeat beacon]

Haha we have it set to where once they've all uploaded their items and characters we turn the uploads off and same for downloads once they've all moved over. Thank you though for this answer!

[vale sierra]

Hello survivers, I would like to switch on the character transfer on April 1st without items and dinosaurs. but how can you travel without costume skins?
I can't throw them out

[distant hearth]

atm you cant , we are all hoping they fix it before s.e releases

[wise kindle]

In Nitrado, there is a checkbox for "Disable Custom Cosmetic System" on the General Settings page. I'm guessing thats how its done, but this is untested atm. I do not know if there is an ini for this yet.

[vale sierra]

probably only works with the server parameter -DisableCustomCosmetics

[distant hearth]

people tested that before, it doesnt help, the issue is a game fault the devs are aware of,
it thinks u have cosmetics when u dont

[vale sierra]

typical for wildcard

[distant hearth]

yep

[short eagle]

Quick question about steam advanced launch settings: is it possible to use more than one? Or do they cancel each other out?

Because I noticed that in -eastercolors not doing anything, -preventhibernation stopped functioning, when it had been working fine before.

[sage magnet]

Is the custom map name for Svartalheim just that or am I missing something

[distant hearth]

shud be fine if the have a space between them , i.e,
-preventhibernation -eastercolors

[distant hearth]

going off memory,
Svartalfheim_WP

[short eagle]

That's what I did. preventhibernation stopped working.

I know because the timer on an adol yuty I have is frozen

[distant hearth]

oh thats shit, i dunno then sry. im not familar with single player tbh

[gaunt berry]

I need help with tek dedi storage it won't let me and the server put in resources in it only structures

[sage magnet]

Why do the mods take forever to download

On Xbox

[lunar cloud]

mods can be large, and console disk I/O is probably not great either so its a formula for slowness

[worldly mantle]

I have a problem, I don't understand why when players use travel between maps, they lose their character. Once they disconnect and reconnect, the window for character creation pops up. I don't see what the error could be, I think I have the configuration right.

[latent adder]

I'm gonna ask again maybe i'm gonna find the answer even tho i've tried everything, but does anyone know why i can't make it so my singleplayer world blocks building at caves and obs like on officials ? it's just not working. On ASE it works perfectly fine but not asa

[hardy inlet]

Does singleplayer have the option to enable extra structure prevention? Pretty sure thats the setting unofficials use

[latent adder]

Extra structure prevention onlys blocks rich areas like mountains

[lunar cloud]

Is this between Island and Svartalfheim by any chance ? I have seen many reports of this between these two maps. I feel like ASA introduced code in the Island which dont work well with modded maps

[worldly mantle]

yesss, but I know servers that are doing very well and that this does not happen to them

Don't you know any solution??

[lunar cloud]

unfortunately i dont. I am not sure if the .profile files in the cluster folder has the same schema as in the Saved folder. So not entirely sure if you can just take a .profile for a acount from a backup , and just paste it into the Saved folder with the server stopped and see if you start it if the character gets restored

[worldly mantle]

I don't know how I can solve it. I tried it by removing all the mods and removing all the plugins, I also checked all the files to see if they are in the right folders, and they still lose the character

[lunar cloud]

My understanding is when a char xfers their arkprofile data gets copied to the cluster folder and onto the other maps saved folder

if you backup these regularly you could try restore those profiles manually , but unsure if it would work

[worldly mantle]

The data is exact, but the character is not, when entering the game

this is a headache

[lunar cloud]

I can imagine. All i would suggest is if you can, have scheduled cronjob \ task that takes regular zip backups of your Saved and cluster folder every few hours. I got mine set to every 3 hours and it uploads to cloud

If you get into this situation, you can take a backup of each 3 folders, then try unzip a backup to a temp folder and then just remove the problematic character profile file out from the server in all 3 folders and place it back from a backup if that makes sense

Ive restored someone character in ASE before using this method

[worldly mantle]

Do you have the 2 maps too?

[sudden raven]

anyone know how to check rates on unoffical servers without joining them. like with a discord bot and ip or something to that effect. was looking for a way to have server rates update when changed and such however i am not admin on the server i play.

[lunar cloud]

Not at the moment, i have done some testing on basic ASA clustering in preparation for SE to make sure it works and just tested it between 2 island maps.
I am avoiding modded maps and xfering for now until at least SE is out for a few months. The devs will start patching all these xfer issues hopefully as more xfer bugs may surface. Xfer traffic will increase and highlight more attention to it i hope

[worldly mantle]

What seems very strange to me is that there are servers with both maps and they are doing perfectly, they have not had problems with character loss...

[lunar cloud]

Ive seen many reports here of character loss between Island and Svart.
Someone here has narrowed it down to Island -> Svart = FINE, but from Svart -> Island causes character loss most of the time

[worldly mantle]

On a test server I put 2 The Island maps and when I transfer from The Island to the other The Island map the same problem occurs

[lunar cloud]

interesting, what setting are you using. In my test I used -clusterid as a flag, and ClusterDirOverride
Nothing else. All those transfer filtering and prevent settings I excluded as Ive heard they give issues

[wise kindle]

This is my experience as well.

[deft stone]

so, no easater eggs?

Dodo bunny and oviraptor bunny?

[cosmic island]

Me and a friend wanna setup a pvp server and we want there to be a way of farming Element rather than doing bosses since small tribes won't really be able to run bosses for ele, so is there a way to do custom Element farm? Perhaps Element crystals like on gen2?

[clever ginkgo]

do i need to own ark on pc in order to host? i have the asa dedicated server running, but it "full starts" very fast (not very educated on it)

[cosmic island]

Asa

[cosmic island]

No

[clever ginkgo]

okay was just a bit confused cuz it wasnt popping up in the server list either

hasnt changed at all

4.5gb with discord & google open aswell

268 mb

i can send you the video im using via dms if you would like to help

oh ok im not rlly fully awake rn trying to do all of this 😂

sent you it in dms

oh okay, should i remove it then or does it not matter

changed it and now ram usage is way higher so i think its doing something now haha

yeah my pc can handle it just fine, but now the server wont show up on server list, no more "booting..." at the top either

i port forwarded 7777 7778 udp and 27015 tcp

still nothing

sounds good

its good now, but now im assuming i messed something up on port forwarding since my friends cant join but i can

yeah everythings good now, thank you so much for your help

wait nvm lol now its giving them connection timed out anytime they try to join

[steady cairn]

Giving this another shot

[cunning urchin]

I play on an unofficial server a lately the trees that i have right next to my hosue keep disappearing while im offline. My structure are too close to them but noone is knockign them down.

[rugged wedge]

Hey ya'll whats happenin? I'm trying to come back after like 5 years and start all over but I fear I may have to reinstall and jump through some hoops. Also I basically forgot everything I knew 💩

If anyone feels extremely patient in helping me get back in to the game shoot me a dm. ❤️

[rugged wedge]

Oh I see the problem... it wants 66gigs of space to update and it will make my computer start on fire (not enough disk space) sadness 😦

I can't install the updates needed to even play the game

[bold thicket]

Has anyone tested that ini command to make the Clear Glass Mod work on a PvP server

[rugged wedge]

oh I saw setup help and assumed it was for that. Which channel would be best for that?

[robust nymph]

Do we just put -eastercolours
In the ini? Or is there something else we need to do? The explained like we all knew what was going on

[lunar cloud]

- is command line flags , goes in the startup command. You have ? options , then space, then - flags like -mods=123,124 so you put it behind that , just make sure there is a space between each flag, for example : -mods=123 -EasterColors

The wiki describes options and flags in the startup command well

Go to #bobs-with-probs for basic game help

This channel is for server hosting setup help.

[distant hearth]

depends on the server owner

its a setting the owner can decide to allow full transfers or not, some may not even have clusters, others might want people to start fresh . the owner decides

yea

[urban edge]

ok ty

[simple pollen]

Has anyone faced the issue that you cant travel to another server because you have items in youre inventory? My inventory is completly empty including cosmetics but it says i have items there, i tried to mindwipe, killmyself, nothing fixed it

[forest lodge]

where can i change non dedicated tether settings?

asa

[pallid kestrel]

@rugged wedge yes, transfers do not work unless they are fully open right now

[robust sky]

Can anyone help with instructions for turning on Easter colors, where to put the parameter at on nitrado?

Gotcha. Thank you

[distant hearth]

i wont dm but ,simple method , get ark beacon app. you can adjust all the settings in it an get them set perfect for your needs. the free version does this

[steady cairn]

Could i not get ignored please

[feral topaz]

the only thing shared with ASE is the dlc. gotta buy the base game for each pc

[harsh pilot]

-Eastercolors in game ini or usersettings on nitrado

[pallid kestrel]

Has this worked for you?

[trail elm]

Is there a place the custom cosmetics can be disabled on nitrado servers?

I play on a server that has items transfer disabled between maps. But the only "item" I have is the custom cosmetics. Others who do not have custom cosmetics because I assume their character hasnt died seem to be able to transfer.

[harsh pilot]

No I’m asking my bad I’ve tried both and don’t seem to work

[harsh pilot]

They spawn on your character it’s a skin not item

[trail elm]

I've disabled default survivor items. But they still show as being there.

[bleak ivy]

-DisableCustomCosmetics that launch option disables it, haven't used it tho

[trail elm]

Does that go in game.ini or gameuser.ini files?

[bleak ivy]

its a commandline does nitrado not have a spot for those?

[trail elm]

I'm not sure what the difference is tbh. The server I'm on is hosted through nitrado.

Is that an admin command?

[bleak ivy]

No, its a different spot then game.ini or gameusersettings.ini. haven't used nitrado so no idea where it is 🤷

[simple pollen]

You sure about that?

Transfer work fine with everything enabled, they only dont work if i disable item transfers

[astral nest]

Hello everyone, I currently have a server with Nitrado and it's working very well, but I have an issue with dino spawns in caves...especially underwater. The population of megalodons is HUGE and I don't know what to do to change it...yet I haven't touched the dino spawn settings. Could someone help me?

[trail elm]

That is the issue we have, we want people to only be able to transfer characters, no items/dinos.

[simple pollen]

Yeah same but it wont work, always get the message that we have items in our inventory

[trail elm]

I wonder if official will run into the same issue. Maybe a hot patch after SE drops will get it fixed 😑

[simple pollen]

Yeah because if not i have to enable item transfers and the map is completed for most people in 1 week

[trail elm]

That's what our server owner wants to avoid also. Just a new an unique asa issue I guess.

[simple pollen]

Yeah

[steady cairn]

Thats not the problem we can share it we just cant find the setting that allows you to join on a shared acount also we share a pc

[feral topaz]

I just told you. As I had this same issue. Don't argue as I had experienced this firsthand. That is the problem. I know you can play it as shared. But to both join each user needs to own the base game

[distant hearth]

1 - transfers are broken atm, we can only hope they fix them on scortched release , the devs know its an issue

its an issue with custom cosmetic they know about ....

they work sort of fully open, not if u try to disable item downloads

[wispy bone]

We ever get news on how the dlc is going to work on unofficials with se?

[neat crown]

is there a way to gets mods in the game without downloading through the actual game? it keeps bugging out on my on every mod install and just restarts?

[thorn musk]

bonjour y a t il un francais qui sais faire un cluster et qui serai me dire comment faire ? merci

[wooden tartan]

Have you folks got the new Easter color Dinos to spawn yet on your unofficial servers? Not Niteado.

[native wave]

the bright pink brachi next to my base says yes

[stark mango]

Anyone knows how to Activate the event eggcelent in host solo? ASA

[pallid kestrel]

thats what i meant

[lone cipher]

guys how do i enable xmp on my pc, i have a 4060 ti and a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13400F and i get from 30-50 fps on low settings, im so lost

[waxen cedar]

any news about scorched?

[olive talon]

Tomorrow, same as it has been since Friday.

[distant hearth]

sounds aboot right for a 8gb ti .
use the in came commands to turn clouds an fog off.
r.volumetriccloud 0
r.volumetricfog 0

i also use grass.sizescale 0.5 but tht a personal prefenabce an dont do much for fps .

ignore the fps an make the game run smooth, just dont even worry about the fps. dont display it . play the game an see if it smooth

[waxen cedar]

no news about release time?

[olive talon]

No. News will not be posted in the setup help channel, it will be in #announcements or at the very least, pinned in #general if there are hiccups.

[wise kindle]

Why ppl keep asking this in the setup channel? The heck.

[surreal grove]

Any news on when tomorrow they will deploy the SE?

[distant hearth]

becuase channel has word help , is my only guess

[surreal grove]

That’s why I ask here… it’s a setup channel

But yea it will be in in news

[distant hearth]

the discord is a lil confusing an discombulated like ark for new people,
this channel is more for server and mod help , there are channel descriptions somewhere, i never rem how find them tbh.

#bobs-with-probs is the channel youre looking for

[full heath]

does anyone know if on windows ASE servers you can change the timer of summoning extinction titans?

i mean how often i can summon them so i can tame, since im pretty sure it's standard is like every 6 hours

so cant be done on windows ASE?

is there issues with mods auto downloading? on the server of course

[glacial creek]

sa the auto managed mods stopped working for some odd reason

thanx for response

i know i dont post here much no more been hosting ark since 2015 theres somthing on n.american right now whereas europeon steam servers maybe working, but i suspect between your posts you never tried deleting a mod to test before your response.

all good ill let it sit awhile longer and relaunch it. nothing changed since last restart and nothing in the logs.. just a simple bit of bs after updating the server/restart.. carry on 🙂

[pallid kestrel]

anyone having issues getting the cosmetics feature to work on pc?

[olive talon]

This is for server setup help, the cosmetics mods not working is not a server setup issue. It is happening on officials.

[pallid kestrel]

Well i'm wondering if it needs to be activated as a mod server side as well as on an individual player basis

[olive talon]

Both iirc.

[pallid kestrel]

cool ill give that a shot, tyvm

[leaden cedar]

Hello, this command extends the time before dinos respawn. Is there a command that does the same for structures? PvEStructureDecayDestructionPeriod=1 (Even though it says "structure" in it, it doesn't affect structures)

[olive talon]

It doesn't do anything because that config no longer has a use. There is no config to make dinos respawn after a certain interval.

[leaden cedar]

The command doesn't make dinos respawn; it increases the time before they can be claimed by other players, for example, from 7 days to 30 days.

[olive talon]

That is completely separate from what you were saying.

DisableDinoDecayPvE=False

As far as I know, as long as you do not enable autodecay, the creatures will just stay in the world for however long they survive until someone claims them.

[chilly moss]

Hello boys i have a private server with friends. i need help for clamp armor saddle ecc. now i have overpower stat for armor, saddle ecc i want the vanilla stat. like ascendent saddle 124 armor ecc can you help me? ini setting

[olive talon]

@chilly moss ^ Will has it here.

[leaden cedar]

Thank you for the information, however, I have an issue with the transfer; regardless of what happens, there's a 24-hour delay to retrieve anything I've uploaded. Is there a way to reset this delay to zero as on Evolved?

[chilly moss]

THANKS A LOOT

[olive talon]

The only thing I see in the wiki with a timer for downloads is

Hello Another question for my Ark Server
I Have now this setting for BABYS DINOS
Mating Interval Multiplier: 0.01
Speed multiplier for the hatching of eggs: 20
Baby Mature Speed Multiplier: 42
Baby Cuddle Interval Multiplier: 0.03
Baby Cuddle Grace Period Multiplier: 1
Baby Cuddle Lose Imprint Quality Speed Multiplier: 1
Baby Imprint Amount Multiplier: 3
Baby Imprinting Stat Scale Multiplier: 1
Baby Food Consumption Speed Multiplier: 1

It good but its fast, like Rex 10min Mating, 15min Eggs, 1h Adult, 4 imprint 10min each. I want to go maybe 1h Mating, 3h Eggs, 8h Adult, 5-6 imprint 1h each.
Someone can help me? its really hard and sensibile this setting.
THANKS 🙂

[steady cairn]

Sorry if i came off as rude thats not what i meant. But like has that option been removed or what cause idk why it just wouldnt be in the file whether or not it works

[rancid quarry]

how do you turn off auto learn engrams on asa?

my torch and pickaxe blueprint show up twice

[lunar cloud]

I don't recall this even being on in ASA by default. Should by default have to learn using points

[river tinsel]

Hey guys do you have a bug with the cave tek door being locked with players inside?

[sage mesa]

Having some INI related issues that I can’t figure out. Can anyone take a look at my files and see if they can figure out the issue? Supply drop related

[distant hearth]

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=11.6
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.12
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1.4
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=1.66
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.03

this is pretty close to what you want, i used beacon ark app to do it , the free version allows you to adjust each setting an see the effect it will have ,
just beware after changing ini it will only effect new babies and eggs in the world .

[distant hearth]

check to see if you have this line in game.ini
bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=True

change it to False to turn off auto engram unlocks or just delete the line

[chilly moss]

Thanks!!!

[distant hearth]

if you copy them an paste into a notepad file , save as .txt format
dm them to me and i can look.
the only one i know messes up supply drops is something like
buserandomsupplycratepoints=true

[thick thorn]

anyone having problems getting the easter update to work?

[wraith fulcrum]

Im trying to prevent item download for the new map on my server, but even without items im getting the error that I have to drop my items first when I try to transfer. Is this a known bug? Yes, my toolbar is also empty.

[opal sky]

when can we expect linux servers

kinda a joke that we are forced to use windows

[empty peak]

I believe you can host servers under linux using proton

[pallid kestrel]

Yes known but, can only transfer if everything is allowed, Dino's and items

That is presumably gonna be fixed before SE drops (lol)

[wraith fulcrum]

I hope so xD But they will run in same issues so they probably fixed it 🙂

[pallid kestrel]

It's been broken since they activated transfers in general, so I don't have high hopes. All my players just made new characters on Svart

[jaunty vortex]

where are you trying to enable it? Nitrado, dedicated or non-dedicated?

[frigid juniper]

It appears to be that the custom skins (that you can't drop) in your cosmetics tab are counted as items. Hopefully they fix it for the SE release, lot of unofficial server owners wanting to lock down transfers.

[wraith fulcrum]

Got a feeling it would be that yea

[scarlet pewter]

Deear All, Can anyone help me install the official Clean Glass Wall (Sample) mod on my server

[bleak ivy]

its a custom cosmetic which means you just need to allow it to use it. if you have your server in PvE mode then it should work by default (I think)
otherwise you need to use the CosmeticWhitelistOverride=URL setting in gameusersettings (will need to add it) to allow it.

I suggest if its a private server just allow them all by leaving the URL empty.

[daring prairie]

What are the risks to setup up a cros ark with the new map ? First time for me doing something like this. Any tips ?

[tepid swallow]

Asking just to avoid future problems, but what temps should CPU (or any other parts in a server computer) stay at after continious use? (Or what temps should I look out for before worrying that it will continue to rise due to overheating?)
Over the course of a week it started at a steady 30c and max showed 60c, but now it has risen to 40-49 average to almost 70max. Is this a trend that will continue? A sign of bad circulation? Is there a way to predict how much strain each server will add to the computer when run in the cluster? Since this is just with 2 servers in the cluster running continiously.

[celest halo]

That all depends on the CPU, they all have a different max temp

[tepid swallow]

It is more a question of what does other server owners computers do. Starting at 30 and continuing to 50 over the course of a week and does it continue? Or do they experience it stabilizes at some point because I am aware that me having built a completely new rig and starting it up with the server for the first time and having 30 degrees in the beginning and it rising a bit is fine. But over the course of a week almost going up 20 degrees average temp only running the server seems like a noticable increase. Just wondering where other peoples computers average out. I know that the ryzen 5 5700g has some way to go before it maxes out but I would rather spot an issue before feeling it.

[celest halo]

All depends on CPU, and room temps the 5700g has a tdp of around 65w with a max temp around 95c, my CPU had a tdp of 115w and max case temp at heat sync of 80c. Mine is at running at 45c right now with it being 18c in the room it's in, it is only using 11% of the CPU right now

My desktop can rase 20c no problem when gaming

[native stag]

Hello guyz, does anyone here have issue since yesterday to place modded building part ? Such as AA, Rustic, RR etc ?

[tepid swallow]

Alright, thanks! I will keep an eye on it if something happens but sitting around 45 is normal then I hope that when temps increase it won't run away because when summer hits it really goes ham on my glass balcony, baking my apartment since we have no AC but my gaming rig never really struggled but it has more fans so I am initally just worried about that temp rising uncontrolled.

[eternal lichen]

Does anyone know a good page to help with setting up a cluster with ark ascended server manager? I'd like to cluster in SE when it releases

[celest halo]

Not sure if there is any guides out yet, only ones that have done ASA clusters so far are ones that clustered the mod map with the island

And everything I've seen in here clusters are kind of broken/janky

[eternal lichen]

great :?

but ty for the reply

[delicate smelt]

does anyone know what the syntax will be for the Scorched Earth bat file? eg "TheIsland_WP?" for The Island...

[distant hearth]

probably scorched_wp

dont quote me though lolz, also in your example, the ? isnt needed, thats the start of a new command line , ie
?password=xxxx

[wise kindle]

You think it will be a mod? God I hope not

[delicate smelt]

yeah sorry.. lol just cut and paste 😄

[delicate smelt]

please no... I want a fresh install lol

[wise kindle]

Yeah really hoping its done right.

[distant hearth]

all good was just making sure u was aware 🙂

[distant hearth]

yea here is to hoping, if they mess it up . its not gonna go down well

[delicate smelt]

to be fair... there's already a lot of pressure on them to get this right.. disappointing as it might be for it not to go well, time is all they need to sort it 🙂

we just have to be better at being patient lol

[surreal grove]

I hoping for the same a tutorial for clusters 🙂

[celest halo]

My hopes of it going well are not high WC don't have a good track record with updates

[distant hearth]

mine either lolz i expect the worst , good thing about bad internet, i wont get it for a few days lmao

[celest halo]

My hopes of unofficials getting it today are not high either

[distant hearth]

in the pinned messages 4th down is a link to a sort of guide on how do it, depends how u have the servers setup ,

[distant hearth]

there usually pretty good with major updates tbh , but we shall see lmao

[celest halo]

Normally but if it has major issues on officials they won't send it to us

[distant hearth]

true

not a bad thing lmao

[celest halo]

We don't know if they fixed costume skins being an item yet so we don't know how it's going to go

[scarlet pewter]

I added the line CosmeticWhitelistOverride= , leaving it empty but it doesn't start

[distant hearth]

do it as CosmeticWhitelistOverride="url"

[bleak ivy]

yeah, sorry explained that wrong

[chilly moss]

hello guys. there are a ini setting for NOT fresing dinos? when we are offline she not mating and farming alone like official.

[distant hearth]

you would have to use this as a launch parmeter ,
-PreventHibernation

nvm that wont work either as it wont be running when u close game

[bleak ivy]

farming (assuming you mean dino passive farming like doed or anky) will only happen when rendered no matter what.
mating I believe can only happen when rendered unless the dino is set to wander instead of mating but then they walk around.

[distant hearth]

yea ure right 100%, we used work around it by penning the dinos in an leaving on wander lolz, only works on a server though ..

[chilly moss]

game.ini? or user?

[distant hearth]

sry it wont work for non dedicated only on a server, and its a startup command not ini

[bleak ivy]

thats because of hibernation, that launch option should work.

[bleak ivy]

steam can use launch options for non-dedi and singleplayer.

[distant hearth]

it will still freeze the world when game is closed though right ?

[chilly moss]

i have a nitrado server. so i need a mod for NO-HIBERNATION?

[bleak ivy]

yeah, because the game isn't running lol.

but what I mean is if you leave your base with prevent hibernation wandering dinos should still mate

might be wrong tho, Singleplayer works weird.

[bleak ivy]

servers do not use hibernation.

I'm not actually sure if ASA has hibernation or that option tho.

wiki just shows a ? for ASA

either way, servers don't need to worry about it just singleplayer/non-dedi. but it won't fix everything

[chilly moss]

im test it on my server. they produce Eggs only if a player is online in the server. and Farm only if player is near to the Dinos

[bleak ivy]

sounds right

[chilly moss]

yep. but i want the produce also offline so like i go sleep tomorrow i have a Oviraptor full Eggs

[bleak ivy]

wander may work but you might still need to be online don't know hibernation won't do anything since servers don't use that system.

[chilly moss]

mhhh.oks

[solemn zephyr]

Theyre talking single player

[onyx gyro]

Anyone know how to cluster two servers using Beacon?

[solemn zephyr]

Single player you're never going to get eggs offline as the game isn't functioning in any capacity

[solemn zephyr]

Beacon doesn't handle crossark IDs, that's direct on your host

[onyx gyro]

So, I don't have to link the two together on Beacon, just on Nitrado

[solemn zephyr]

Correct. Beacon just makes inis. It doesn't care about your servers lol (not meant to be rude, just factual)

[onyx gyro]

I just wasn't sure if there were some steps in Beacon I have to do as well since I pretty much do everything there.. (restarts, updates, add mods.. etc.)

[solemn zephyr]

Nope, you're good to go! Beacon handles almost everything but map selection and clustering it does not.

[onyx gyro]

Appreciate the info. New to hosting and still learning.

[distant hearth]

beacon is your friend, it handles 99% of the ini config, i love it

[onyx gyro]

Indeed. I just learned how to fix spawn points that are broken (Like the West Water Cave) and allow it to be somewhat normal.

I believe you and I were looking for a solution to that cave a few weeks ago.

[distant hearth]

how did you do if dont mind me ask? fully recode it or ? i havent got around to testing it yet but was just going to overwite with ase spawn code for that cavei

[oblique rover]

My server crashed and now when I start it once started it gives me that.

[onyx gyro]

I just went into the spawn section of Beacon and there should be an option to create "New Point", select that. From there a new window will open to replace, add, or remove spawns.

I selected "replace". Then it should list all the creatures that spawn in the West water cave. From there, I added in other water creatures (Jellyfish, Eel, Piranha, Manta.. etc. to share the same spawns with the Megs so there's less megs.

[balmy rivet]

I definitely don't have eggs laid when my server is empty. Farm keeps producing and is collected by farmer. Wonder if that's setting related.

[distant hearth]

in ase , with splus , use splus hitching post , connect dinos to it, then set them on wander for them to mate when u off line

combine it with dino storage v2 ,newborn auto trap set an you have easy breeding

[onyx gyro]

@distant hearth I had to play around with what felt more natural and balanced for that cave. So, you might have to restart your server several times until you feel it's about where it should be as far as difficulty.

[distant hearth]

yea usually that sthe case when i edit spawns lolz, i once had like 2k snow owls spawning in ragnarock death snow, fun times hahahaha

[onyx gyro]

Yeah, first time going into the West Underwater Cave and getting jumped by what felt was around 500+ megs wasn't fun. Needless to say, what I took in there didn't make it out.

[fleet solstice]

when will this new map come out?

[bleak ivy]

sometime today

[balmy rivet]

Soon TM

[tall bison]

so when i play ark i like getting tons of resources for harvesting, i went into the GameUserSettings.INI or survival ascended, changed HarvestAmountMultiplier to =10 but still get little ammounts, any ideas as to why?

[bleak ivy]

ASA rates seem to be different then ASE rates. gonna have to mess with them to get where you want.

[distant hearth]

close game, make the change, save it, restart game, shud take effect, make sure you arent duplicating a line

[bleak ivy]

also make sure you didn't have SP settings on

[tall bison]

what is SP settings

[bleak ivy]

it boosts a bunch of settings, if you had that on during ASE then it'll feel very different in ASA without it on.

[tall bison]

where do i find it?

but anyways my main issue is that it didnt change at all, one harvest from bushes still give me roughly 2 betteries, when id like aroun 10-15

[bleak ivy]

Singleplayer settings is the last setting, in rules, under game rules for ASA.

[bleak ivy]

that'd be optimized harvest amount I think.

I think thats in ini somewhere, I don't see it in the SP menu anyway.

[tall bison]

dont see it in the ini

if you think thats the setting then wh at is HarvestAmountMultiplier?

[bleak ivy]

make sure that the "harvest yield multiplier" changed in the menu.

[bleak ivy]

that is the correct setting, the optmized harvest changes the health so it takes longer to harvest but it doesn't change the rates.

makes it so you won't notice the harvest multiplier as much, helps with lag too

[tall bison]

nah the health isnt the issue, just the fact that im not getting any more than if harvestammount is equal to 1

[bleak ivy]

make sure the setting changed in the menu. its harvest yield multiplier there.

[tall bison]

ill launch now, what is that under?

and if it didnt? how would you suggest i solved that issue

[bleak ivy]

game rules then world.

[bleak ivy]

try changing it there.

[tall bison]

harvest yeild multiplier is on 10

[bleak ivy]

go in the game and grab some rock pickups should be working

[tall bison]

i will set harvest ammount to 100 see what that does

[sour sky]

does the 60 day period for downloading dinos include unofficial servers?

[tall bison]

same thing if i set it to 100

still getting 2-6 berries per E

[bleak ivy]

then its the health doing it. look around for a optimized health or harvest setting in the ini

[tall bison]

how would that effect the ammount gained per collection
