ssd or m.2 always recommeneded

[wide pecan]

I know plenty about PCs lol But Im talking the hardware of the server itself, like whats a ballpark estimate of a good one

I get the ram and CPU, but the actual bare metal server.

😄

[low dew]

if you know about pcs then all you need to kno is you dont need a gpu

so build it as cheap as you want xenons work well

[wide pecan]

NOOOOm I mean literally whats a good server

Like Dell, HP and the number lol

[low dew]

lol

[wide pecan]

I understand all the internal components and how it works, just asking for advice on good server brands...... but they do matter lol

[low dew]

there is no real brands man most people build them them selfs

you get intel or amd those are your brands

[wide pecan]

So by your reasoning, Just slap some ram on a MOBO, with a badass CPU and that will work as the server

[low dew]

yup pretty much

[wide pecan]

But I mean, were also talking just building a PC, which is fine and dandy for like 2-4 servers maybe, but prolly not more than that

[low dew]

honestly you could buy somthing cheap prebuilt from walmart and use it as a server if it has enough ram in it

[wide pecan]

Is there a RAM speed that works best, or is ddr4 fine

What number of people are playing on yours when you run them though

Thank you for the help btw

[low dew]

ifyou have 100 players you gonna be looking at more cpu useage instead of 1 cpu it might need 2

core not cpu *

[wide pecan]

Im just wondering if there will be an actual noticeable difference between just getting a crap Prebuilt, slapping on a high core good cpu, and like 256 gigs of ram and a true server build

[low dew]

@wide pecan honestly it boils down to what you wanna do and how many servers you wanna run on it at the same time

[wide pecan]

Well, and internet upload speed lol

[low dew]

if your running a 4 core 64 gb server box that will be a max of 4 servers you can run at the same time MAX

lol cpu throttling

[native wave]

and we'll probably be at 4 servers by the end of summer, at least

[low dew]

im building a server this summer gonna run me about 3gs

[wide pecan]

Yeah, by this logic, the most logically thing, is to buy a shite prebuild, slap in ram and call it good

[native wave]

I'm running island and scorched. created the container for svart, but haven't set it up yet

[low dew]

i can only run the island and scorched for now as i have a myth of empires cluster to on the same machine :(:(:(

[native wave]

I got a used HP enterprise server off of ebay....like $600 after I maxed out the ram to 384GB. the server itself was local though...local electronics recycler I picked it up from.

[wide pecan]

What is your upload speed?

[low dew]

ya over load your cpu and watch your ping skyrocket

[wide pecan]

Yeah Ill probably have 40-50 at a time

[low dew]

i donno if i could play ase again after asa

[native wave]

I'm actually in the process of backing up all my ASE servers and removing them from my server manager

[low dew]

yeah but thats allll coming back soon

SOON tm 2050

[native wave]

sooner than you think, I think

[low dew]

there is a mod just sayn

[inner adder]

Is there any way to decrease the amount and length of weather events on scorched?

[native wave]

if only

[low dew]

@inner adder unfortunatly not from what i could find YET

[native wave]

unofficials need some configuration options for those

[low dew]

@polar echo yeah i know i wont add modded dlc content i prefer to wait

[inner adder]

yeah this shits startin to piss me off lma0o

[low dew]

community was happy to get scorched they all transfered off the island for it

[native wave]

really hate it with the unbugging of sandstorm

[low dew]

@inner adder the weather dosnt bug me as much as the f in tumbleweeds

[inner adder]

I dont know if im just dumb as hell but did they up the rates of weather events on scorched?

[wide pecan]

I mean my unofficial atm is having issues because I cant get the update pushed to my server lol

[inner adder]

Still deciding which is worse lmao

[wide pecan]

I dont have access to it, that is the problem lol

[low dew]

@inner adder they come into your buildings regardless if theres walls and a roof or not

[wide pecan]

Someone is helping me run one, and I am sick of them running it lol because I cant just go in and change it

I do not pay them, just a friend

[native wave]

the weather wasn't bothering me (except for the occasional low hanging cloud) before the update...even the super heat was tame thanks to my fortitude and desert cloth

[wide pecan]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA You right

[wise kindle]

LOVE your videos Teach. Keep em coming!

[wide pecan]

Hahaha thanks man

I keep them moving as long as I dont frustrate my partner.... Then I have to be careful

[wise kindle]

I think Ive posted like 7 of his SE videos in my discord so far. Super informative.

[wide pecan]

Naw, I basically have file access to edit server stuff

[wide pecan]

You are too kind, I kinda just know a few things about the game. Wish I was better

[wise kindle]

His new SE videos are perfect for getting my players up to date.

[wide pecan]

Yall are making me blush. Thank you for realsies 😄

[native wave]

didn't get subbed until just after ASA launch, but you're definitely in my rotation of videos I check out on the game

[wise kindle]

Great stuff, Ill hush now lol.

[low dew]

@wide pecan jsut bring your community over to my cluster i got you bro XD

[wide pecan]

I will probably end up acquiring some. Not sure what yet. or how much, my current internet upload cap might be my biggest issue

yee

But in most locations 35-60 is cap up

[grim saffron]

Lost connection to host or somthing after update

[low dew]

dont think you need a really high upload i think my 4 servers barley scratch 1mbps

combined that is

[wide pecan]

And just running an ark container out of it? or a couple I guess?

[low dew]

@polar echo whats the specs on it ??

[wide pecan]

That is crazy....... How many people are connected

[low dew]

gtx offers bare metal boxes for a good price

[wide pecan]

Man. This slomo infuriates me lol

[low dew]

i pay 60 sterlings for the same thing

[wide pecan]

And you run 4 out of that for only 50?

That is not bad at all...... I just dont have much experience with renting that kinda stuff

[low dew]

@wide pecan limited by ram basically

wish i could im using 88% of my ram right now lol 64 gb

[low dew]

on a good day i might get 20 across the clusters

[wide pecan]

So do you guys have full machine or is it cloud based sharing on it?

[low dew]

not alot

bare metal machines are the best

ovh is more expensive then gtx gaming

[high forge]

I pay 33 euros to rent a 64 GB ram VPS, currently running 3 servers easily, I use haruhost GSM it sets everything up for you even firewall ports.

[low dew]

gtx has been the cheapest option i could find for the specification

gtx is eu based

they just have datacenters all over

like most hosting companies rent these data centers

[wide pecan]

You guys are all awesome. Thank you for your help 😄 I sent yall a message if you ever need anything 😄

[high forge]

Are you the youtuber ?

[wide pecan]

yes

[silver glen]

So I still have this issue... According to one guy this happens often? How long will it take to work again or do I have to do something?

[wide forge]

So anything in particular I can do to avoid the infinite "downloading" when transferring a character between servers, or am I just boned until they update on their end?

[silver glen]

The bat has been working fine for days but, I'll try direct pathing it now

Ok thanks, direct pathing it actually worked perfectly

thats strange because I have updated it several times with the current bat file

Oh well, least it works now lol

[low dew]

@wide forge this happens when you have a certain filter set to true your character is lost

notributedownloads=false it must be false

[wide forge]

Thanks, I'll check that out and see if that fixes it! Unfortunately I already lost my character, but I would like to get it working for my friends

[low dew]

if you have a cluster id and dir you can set all the download and uploat filters to false

its impossible to bring in outside dinos with a cluster id set

[wide forge]

Nitrado

[distant hearth]

doesnt nitrad do full server backups like in ase anymore?

[low dew]

yeah he could restore a backup

if you want that character back

[wide forge]

I can try that, I did a previous save load but maybe a full restore would be better

[low dew]

if that notributedownload= isnt in your gameusersettings add it and set it to false

[distant hearth]

ye save is just world file i believe, has to be a full backup iirc, been a while

[low dew]

yeah you just grab a recent backed up save and paste it over

[distant hearth]

i know there was like 3 options lol in ase

[hardy river]

Just abought ark server off nitrado, Restart loop going on

Is this happenning to anyone else lmao

[outer stream]

Can any one help my friend is trying find how to make a cluster but we can’t find a recent. Video or anything for scorch earth

[wise kindle]

How long did you wait after you bought the map before you used it?

[low dew]

@hardy river anyone with a nitrado server unfortunatly

[hardy river]

Bought the map? Or the server you mean?

[outer stream]

Self host

Self host

[wise kindle]

How long did you wait after you paid for the Nitrado map?

[hardy river]

10 minutes?

Worked for about 20 minutes, then constant restart loop

[low dew]

@outer stream need to add this -clusterID=xxxxx -ClusterDirOverride="C:\Example\Location" to both servers start up bats and this is the scorched earth map id ScorchedEarth_WP

[wise kindle]

Setup requires about 30 minutes to finish.

[low dew]

@outer stream make sure you set up a cluster dir for it to save into

[wise kindle]

If you interrupt the setup scripts, you can cause loops.

[outer stream]

Ok thx fam

[hardy river]

So dont touch the configs or anything for 30 minutes?

Or set that all up first?

[low dew]

@outer stream also another thing make sure for both servers you have all the download and upload settings set to false and notributedownloads=false

in the game user settings

[hardy river]

I reinstalled it

So let it run for 30 minutes before I touch or do anything to it

[wise kindle]

The top of all new server pages have a message that says to wait till the setup finishes before changing any settings or logging into the map.

[distant hearth]

yea , its always best, i have no idea why nitrado servers are like that , atleast 30 mins, then shut it down, wait 5mins, make changes, save, wait 1 min, then restart

[low dew]

@distant hearth i personally tihnk its just there weak arse interface and service and how things set up with there scripts

i hate nitrado

[outer stream]

Thanks man you a Lifesavers. I will give the information. To my friend hopefully he can get it working by tomorrow

[hardy river]

I had a server 2 months ago and never had to do any of that how weird

[distant hearth]

me 3 lolz

[low dew]

both my servers aupport 70 people imagen what that would cost for 1 on nitrado prolly 80 bucks

[distant hearth]

sometimes u get lucky, sometimes not, after doing it alot tims i save headaches by waiting 🙂

[wise kindle]

Go buy a bare bones server and run your own. Wont have to wait for shit.

[low dew]

i pay 80 bucks for all 4 of my servers together lol

[wooden edge]

so if i want max lvl for dinos to be 200 wat do i put in INI

[pure island]

Would anyone be able to let me know how my PC would run on this game? Haven't attempted to play it just yet but i've heard its chunky on performance.
Basic specs are:
Ryzen 5 5600G CPU
16gb ram
GeForceRTX 3060

[low dew]

@pure island you trying to run a server ?

[pure island]

Just for solo play :)

[distant hearth]

you change the gameusersetting ini ,
overrideofficialdifuclty=7 wud be 210 i think, im on first cofee an math ughh
anyway its *30 what ever num u use in that line

[humble thicket]

you fine. i run a GTX 1080 with a solid 60-75 FPS

[low dew]

the game is only clunky on performance because ue5 isnt even optimized

ue5 requires alot more

[pure island]

oh perfect, thank you. I was under the impression it was significantly worse than that

[low dew]

to be fair hes probably playing on lowest settings 😛

[humble thicket]

pretty much depends on your settings ingame

[pure island]

Yeah I imagine I wouldn't be able to go past medium regardless

[distant hearth]

it depends what resolution an quality you play at , 3060 aint gonna do 4k, ultra settings for example

[low dew]

@pure island the game does have dlss so you will have access to that

[humble thicket]

he? im a she and no im running it on high even tho the game autocorrect it on epic but then i only get 20-25

[pure island]

Oh yeah i imagine, I was aiming for at least 1440p on med settings

[low dew]

@humble thicket sorry she** and how is that possible 1080 is min you can run ark with

[hardy river]

No way you are running the game on high with a gtx 1080

[humble thicket]

cause the game is weird

[hardy river]

I have a 3060 and can barely run the game on medium with 50-60 fps with resolution turned downn a little bit lmao

[low dew]

also if anyone is struggling hard with performance theres a program on steam called lossless scaling it works really well with ark to force frame gen on cards that dont support it

[humble thicket]

just remove the sky and you should boost a few FPS. if i don't remove the sky i run about 26-30

[hardy river]

Thats with sky removed

[low dew]

ya volmetric clouds are taxing

[pure island]

Yeah i've heard the volumetric clouds are a pain in the ass performance wise

[humble thicket]

oh they are

[pure island]

Is that an issue with the game or moreso UE5 again?

[low dew]

both lol

[humble thicket]

both

[pure island]

excellent

[distant hearth]

2080ti in 1080p i can get high preset locked at 60fps , it rarely dips below

[wise kindle]

Regardless if you are running it or not, by your own admission,”the game is weird” so you definitely shouldnt be telling ppl its ok to run with sub par cards.

[low dew]

i got a 4070 and i have to run with frame generation on other wise i dont get more then 30 on med high

[hardy river]

See I could not turnn my res to 1080

[low dew]

frame generation gives me a solid 60

[pure island]

I suppose that is better than what I imagined it would be, but still so bad comparitably

[low dew]

ark how ever is playable with 30fps and up anything below 30 fps will give you a headach

[distant hearth]

i have never played above 1080p so dont know any better lolz

[hardy river]

There aint no way she on high settings with a gtx 1080 unless her res is 800x600 llmao

[low dew]

i dont play above 1080 either and i play in window mode bacause i have a ultra wide

[wise kindle]

Yeah Im having a hard believing that one too.

[distant hearth]

not in asa i imagine it run ase very nicely

[low dew]

@humble thicketyou running asa or ase

now i gotta know lol

[humble thicket]

ASA

[low dew]

let the debate begin

[hardy river]

LMAO, even with my 3060 lowering the res too like 1600/1080 with med setting I only get like 40-60 lmao

[humble thicket]

wait why yall playing with 1080 res??? my PC is locking it at 2560x1440

[pure island]

If you are lucky enough to run the game on a low card due to some kind of godsend, maybe acknowledge that its a rarity and dont necessarily spread it to players (like myself) who know no better

[hardy river]

I gotta see a screenshot of your game

[low dew]

@humble thicket theres no way you trolling us now lol

[wise kindle]

I think we got a troll.

[hardy river]

FOR SURE A TROLL

[humble thicket]

well i tried to post a pic.... but ARK does not let you

[wise kindle]

Yeah im not keen on trolls. Imma sleep. Night folks.

[hardy river]

Night!

[distant hearth]

gn

[hardy river]

Either way I would say you atleast need a 2080 to run at low-med settings

To whoever asked that question lmao

[humble thicket]

@pure island

[hardy river]

What res?

[pure island]

Thanks guys appreciate it, sounds like I should be okay for a low-med game then

[distant hearth]

i got the game running on a 1660 super , 1080p everything low , but it wasnt pleasant experience

[hardy river]

Damn I'm amazed the 2060 would manage that! Thats dope

[hardy river]

Atleast it ran lmao!

[distant hearth]

yea it tied me over for a month till i found a better gpu 🙂

[hardy river]

I might look into that

[surreal falcon]

When we want to travel on our server without items, like officieel. We get a screen after pressing the spawn button what says diwnloading and goes not further. Does somebody have a solution for this?

Nitrado

yes we got a update today, but has not fixed this 😦

you gave me a hint, i had not think of, i will look in nitrado crossark config page if i forgot to set that tribute download to false.

Yeah i have noted that

ok, this setting was not "Disable downloading player information" set on our crossark,

i saw in the little tekst that it is the tribute download, the text is confusing. I will try it. Thanks so far.

yes, i understand. But we want just like Officieel no items and dino download to scorched, only character. so then it must be set what i understand now.

ok, but it is unset now, and we can not get in scorched earth from the island with our character only 😢

it would be much easier to host it self , but i don't have the hardware for it :D. So i'm stuck with nitrado

We have 3 maps now. That's the max we can affort

because that wil be 600 euro a year, to host this at nitrado 😵‍💫, and this are 20 slots (lowers possible)

hmmm, nice. How and where?

i live in the netherlands, so it is EU 😋

i understand that,

i already have run a server on my working laptop as test.

[distant hearth]

they let you install your own o/s? i was looking into them before , as seem good value

[surreal falcon]

also i work in IT, i'm a .net developer, and develop at the moment mainly azure cloud programs

thank you for your help

[distant hearth]

yea i knew that in a datacenter wud have to use server versions, can buy keys at reasonable price , i have to look into it more aswell as the proton linux route

ok good to know , thx

[surreal falcon]

What is the main differents between SERVER AUCTION vs DEDICATED SERVER

i think you can choose linux as OS, will there then not be a license problem?

ah, that is a bummer :D. Then windows it shall be.

Our maps are public, but we have a small group of players, around 20

[celest halo]

palworld has linux binaries for there server

[distant hearth]

dam those server auctions look interesting, some pretty good prices , plus i likely get better connection to germany from the uk than i do to any uk datcentre lmao

[surreal falcon]

is it possible to us my MSDN subscript key of windows 😋 . Probaly not, i wil do research

[celest halo]

nope been running it on linux since it came out

[surreal falcon]

what configuration has you choose to run 6 maps on Hetzner?

i think for the price i pay at nitrado i can run more there 🤪

nice

[distant hearth]

hetzner 65 euros a month ryzen 9 3900 ,128gb ram , that will run prob a dozen 20 slots much better than nitrados variation

[celest halo]

it did, there tech guid even had the linux install info back on Jan 19th

[distant hearth]

i just looked at the cheapest 128gb lol to get an idea

its not ure right my bad ,i had amd selected
Intel Xeon E5-1650V2 128gb ,cheapest at 44 euro

thats like two nitrado 20 slots lmao

hmm so i see, but its good to know for when i look into it properly, just browsing for fun before work atm

i presume your always gonna hit the maximum with hourly use though i mean there gonna be on 24/7 lolz

gotcha

'nah its all good i was asking the questions 🙂 , its also good to have someone thats actually used an is happy with , as you hear some horror stories

[frigid vine]

Morning...
Now the 50/50 is also on SE 😕

[distant hearth]

50/50 bug where it dumps duped items

i cant rem the code off top my head, might be
useitemdupecheck=true
in gus ini , helps with it a bit

[frigid vine]

Its really painful. It contains not only duplicates. We checked them and some dinos was really gone.

Yeah, yeah.. we have all this Things. Doesnt Help. Wildcard please Look into this Issues. Our admins need everyday check is a dino cloned or missing for some players. Its annoying

Maybe. I will try to Update my Post in their Forum. Cannot be possible that such a annoying Bug exists since releasing of ASE

[low dew]

yeah and on top of that wildcard still dosnt get it without private server owners they would be bankrupt

[frigid vine]

But there it was only for The Island. Now i guess they copied it as a tenplate

[spice tendon]

has anyone figured out how to add the gigantoraptor to SE?

ive used the correct ini code for replacements of other creatures as well as adding to a spawn area and they will not spawn

[distant hearth]

you have the mod installed on the server too, id assume it needs it as not in base game ?

[spice tendon]

mod is installed, the code worked without issue on the island for other creatures. just not the gigantoraptor

Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C

[tardy rain]

Heya, Do you know how to stack the Wyvern Milk ?

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=10, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
This command seems not working at all

[frigid vine]

About the 50/50 and server owners, specially for bigger clusters:
would be great if you can maybe also add your reaction and feedback. Maybe it helps that wildcard takes again a look into this issue. Thanks in advance!

survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/725522-arksa-5050-bug-now-also-on-se-cloned-and-stolen-structuresdinos/

[low dew]

the heck is 50 50 bug

[sudden holly]

Got servers updated to match clients so access has been restored to our community but getting reports of no access to crafting benches, neither vanilla nor mod on SE. Haven't tested island yet but wondered if anyone else has seen this today?

[grizzled meteor]

anyone else got issues to update SE server to 39.6 ?

selfhost

it worked now.. after running it 5 times

X_x

i dont use relative paths

maybe its steam dunno.. works now.. thanks anyway

[low dew]

Your a .bat

[pure island]

Is there a way to boost dino levels to 180 instead of 150? :)

[low dew]

If you Google custom wild dino levels you will find a page with a calculator and it should give you the ini settings

[pure island]

oh awesome ty rex

[low dew]

Should type in the desired wild level and it does the rest I think beacon also has this feature

[grizzled meteor]

I dont even use .bat 😛 its all with my 1300 lines powershell script 😛

[pure island]

do you mean its in the ingame settings?

single :)

[low dew]

@pure island you gotta lead with that as this is unofficial server help ppl will assume your trying to configure a server lol

Setting up single player is easier

[pure island]

my apologies! It does say single player as well in the desc but no worries shouldve added it

[low dew]

Does it really

[pure island]

yee in the channel description :D dw its all good

[low dew]

Normally single player guys go to bobs with probs

[pure island]

be good if i could get into the game first anyway haha, got a lovely black screen >_>

[low dew]

Hate this discord such a unorganized mess lol

[pure island]

yea its rlly weird to figure out where to go as a newbie

[odd palm]

can somebody tell me what the primal id of the train track is i want to change ressource cost

[inner thicket]

Hi, so I have a dedicated server hosted from nitrado set up, was playing on it fine last night, today I can't see it but my friend can and join it no problem. In the top left it showed 0/1 when I search for it. Tried joining via IP, says server is not available. Looked up a bunch of videos and no luck. Anyone able to help? The map is scorched earth.

[distant hearth]

restart steam or you pc, see if ark takes an update

[inner thicket]

Did that 3 times so far

Did it a 4th time and got the update, thanks

[winter bane]

Did they change anything for server in order to load custum map???

i have 4 custom and none of them are loading at all

Island and scorched and death match is loading but Forglar insaluma and arkopolis no.

Already did that and nop not working

Shittrado? no.Everything was running fine untill now.

if you say so. i have it on.

[tardy rain]

Ok, Thx, That's mean the wiki isn't up to date ( https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Item_IDs/Consumables )

[winter bane]

Explain me this. Before scorched earth. i have the map runnning. Nothing untill their 1st patch of scorched it was working. I have updated the server

Ok my guy im done with you.

IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY.

Ive been running cluster for quite a while and you told me basic stuff that i already know.

you think i would come here and hear what i already know and checked multiple time?

and that string is also correct , and i even tried a brand new downloaded server also

i host it perfectly on my PC

running the same arg as my Island and scorched and my deathmatch map which make 0 sense.

[proven crypt]

so my ase dedicated server is up and running but dinos are getting so desynced its unplayable, my desert titan's saddle is just gone completely now, and the base i built on him is no longer attached and when i step on his back i get teleported around the map and my game freezes for a few seconds

is there a way to fix this

my hardware isnt even budging

might be mods, ive got 15 but most of them are small

im farely certain hardware is fine, none of my cores ever hit more than like 70% and sit at like 30% most of the time

[raw spear]

was there a new small update/patch just now?

[proven crypt]

i might try without any mods and see if i get desync

well its definitely using it, task manager says so

just that its not hitting max load

its using like 25%

[raw spear]

All servers disappeared again for me like there would be an update on steam

[proven crypt]

hm
why would it not use all available processing power tho?

yeah

cave issue?

no

altho i did have an issue but it was basically the same issue as im describing here but less (yesterday)

so how can i lighten the load

so how do i lighten the load, also none of my threads hit max

also the server seems to switch between 2 different threads every like 5 seconds

i will test and maybe be back later
thank you for your help

yeah i removed mods and moved all my map data and stuff to my desktop so its a fresh world essentially but im still getting just as much desync

tested and im still getting desync

btw my cpu is a 5800X3D ususally running at 4.2GHZ

[alpine quail]

Does anyone know what a player can do to fix the inventory bug? I have a player on my server who is currently experiencing it and I have as well.

Halp 😭

[proven crypt]

wdym make sure my multipliers arent too high whats that got to do with it pls explain

how high is too high

and are all settings affected

like what about something like tether distance

tether distance

ik but i copied my settings file from singleplayer/non dedi

oooh i might have figured it out

[alpine quail]

Player inventory is blank. They have items but cannot see them. Same if they are looking into the inventory of something else - like a tame or a vault. Empty.

[proven crypt]

i do remember setting the saddle platform limit super high

nvm i only put it at 100

[alpine quail]

😳 I’m a new server owner.. how do I fix the client files?

[proven crypt]

not that high

oh i have taming speed at 300

?
wdym supply drop changes

[distant tiger]

Hoping someone can make sense of this to help me understand...... I have been trying to sort a very random failure in the transfer system that loses a players profile....

In talking to another server owner I found they use a structure similar to original ASE command lines with ?Port,?queryport, etc. etc. and for the most part their transfers work and people play on it fine...

I tried it with only ?Port= and it seemed to help transfer stability but the downside was the server timed anyone out that tried to connect... I have to use -port= to enable connections but this also seems to affect transfer stability....

Any thoughts?

[alpine quail]

Oh boy… I will let them know. Thank you very vvvvvvvvery much!!!!

[proven crypt]

ive got that at 2

i have poop interval at 100x

also i have dino stamina at 99.999 (for some reason i cant make it 100 exactly)

no that means you never poop, its poop interval so more is longer gaps between poops

ill give it a try

ty for the help again

[umbral narwhal]

We are looking for help getting our Linux server setup as a cluster and adding Scorched, does anyone have a good up to date tutorial? We have tried following the wiki and it is not working still

Hmm, I’m not the tech guy in the group but I’ll ask. I know it is a Linux server and we ran the island for ASA no problem once we configured it. But when we try to add -clusterid and run a second instance for scorched it keeps breaking

Ok I’ll have to ask for more info from the guys who set it up. Thank you though

[tall bison]

hello, on my server overridemaxdifficulty was set to 6 though max level was still 150, same thing when i changed it to 8, any ideas?

yes

ill check

its on trye, thanks

yeah maxdifficulty was true, thanks

[livid latch]

Hello,im trying to set up a scorched earth dedicated server on my pc to play on...followed the directions like the island..that works fine...differant directory,changed TheIsland_W to ScorchedEarth_WP... But the server comes up and sits on booting.....anything special that needs to be in there im missing?

[livid latch]

Made its own file for scorched earth...it dont share with the island.

[empty comet]

Anyone know offhand how to configure the server so that they hare the tribe data?

In ASE, the tribe data was in the "root" save directory so if you shared the AltSaveDirectory between server instances, they would all use the same .arktribe files, but in ASE each map has it's own directory (TheIsland_WP, ScoredEarth_WP) and each have their own...

I guess I could simply link the directories which would solve my problem. Anyone else use this kind of setup and knows command line options instead?

[odd palm]

why cant i place turrets on trains even with OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true

[livid latch]

The steam cmd way. Like you do with the island...but i only changed theisland to scorchedearth in the .bat file....are you familiar with the steam cmd dedicated server set up?

[ruby kindle]

Anyone know how to turn off the treausre maps? And slow down storms?

[livid latch]

Ahh ok. Yea thats all i changed...basically its a new cmd install with ScorchedEarth_WP where TheIsland_WP is in the .bat file

It does go through updating btw...the start.bat file is in the same file as server file and SteamCMD file..ignore my dumb different directory comment lol this is a totally separate install from my island one.

[iron bronze]

Quick question...am I right in saying that if I didn't want a modded dino that I have on one map to spawn on another clustered map but want people to be able to transfer and use this modded dino on both maps, I can just add that mod as a passive mod on the server I don't want it to spawn on?

I am trying to test this currently but I thought I could save some time by asking ^^

[unborn iron]

Am hopping someone here smarter then I can assist. I'm trying to overwrite a couple recipes using Beacon. I changed Soap recipe to Element so our server can transfer Element and that works fine but I can't get the soap to element shards to work properly. here is what I have

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString=PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C,BaseCraftingResourceRequirments=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumableSoap_C",BaseResourceRequirment=0.01,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=True))

I'm sorry. I can only have 1 custom recipe set on the server?

Thank you for your help

[grizzled wagon]

how do i activate bob tails DLC on my dedicated server. I got the DLC but when i use the treasure map it tells me to buy the DLC.

[distant hearth]

update the server there supposed to have fixed , unless the fix dint fix it

[grizzled wagon]

hmm okey, thx

[distant hearth]

#patch-notes

[distant hearth]

you can many custom recipes, just only for each item , if you want shards transferable too, code them into compasses or summit
soap is prob a bad idea in asa unles you over write the drops as you randomly get it in drops

[unborn iron]

Thank you. I wasn't looking to transfer shards as well, just keep soap, element and shards in a self contained circle of recipes that at least permited us to transfer about with it if that makes sense.

[empty comet]

If anyone cares; using directory links worked: I made a stanging directory and pointed ScorchedEarth_WP and TheIsland_WP to it and now the tribe data is on both servers.

Does anyone know how to increase the "frequency" of higher level dinos? I am on The Island (ASE) and I think it's set to 4, so I get 120 lvl max, which is fine- but they are just so dang rare.... Any settings to make them spawn higher levels more frequently?

[sleek reef]

What do you mean like go through store to enable cross play?

[severe kraken]

like everything is still level 16- maybe a rare 72.

[bleak ivy]

no, the xbox app. like joining off the friendslist. I would assume that still works. but steam to xbox to playstation isn't supported on non-dedi have to be on a dedicated.

[severe kraken]

and I've destroyed wild dinos a few times but still all mostly low level.

[bleak ivy]

either play on non-story maps (and genesis) or download the custom dino levels mod

Hit reinstall and dont touch anything. If after an hour its still restarting then out in a ticket.

It seems fine. Likely someone has a mod conflict.

We dine so many dino wipe s now but still no animals over 150 ....

Be sure MaxDifficulty=false that might be the issue.

I see some ini above but I’m having issues getting my breeding/maturation stats to actually change. I’m wanting Dino’s to raise in under 30 mins and eggs to hatch below 10 min but no matter what I input it won’t take.

[distant hearth]

beacon ark app is awesome for breeding settings, get them how u want an copy the lines or change the settings to the numbers you decide on ,

be aware any change only effects new babies and eggs in the world.
all th eold ones are stuck with the old settings

[distant hearth]

where on earth you get that ini ? out of ya single player or summit ?

singleplayer

i doubt it helps the bootlooping but atleast you can read an understand it now lol

[distant hearth]

it does yea , i must cut that off

[hardy river]

For sure I will try this too, I appreciate it

[distant hearth]

simple is always better , otherwise u get headaches later down the line , also i recommend looking at ark beacon app if you struggle with the ini stuff, makes life easier, the free version does a lot, you can set the settings up, hit export button then just copy paste the lines you want

[wise kindle]

100% Beacon worth every cent lol

[distant hearth]

or have deploy to the server for you

[wise kindle]

Ill never go back to hand coding. I got a life and too many maps for that lol.

[loud comet]

beacon is an amazing tool

[distant hearth]

i had paid version for years, i upgraded to the ascended version, not becuase i needed too really but becuase ive used it so much i felt they deserved it

[jovial walrus]

Okey I try

[wise kindle]

Do a wild dino wipe as well Cheat destroywilddinos

[sterile leaf]

Anyone running a cluster having issues with engrams having to be relearned everytime you switch? Didnt know if it was just a me issue

[wise kindle]

You may have settings that are different on each map. Verify all the engram settings match as well as all other ini settings.

[sterile leaf]

Ill double check thanks for the tip

[clear bronze]

How can I change the map to Scorched Earth using the steam ASA Dedicated Server? I've tried editing the start.bat but that doesn't change anything

notepad

start ArkAscendedServer.exe "ScorchedEarth_P?SessionName=X?ServerAdminPassword=X?Port=7777 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=32 -NoBattlEye"

ah that makes sense

And will running that overwrite the island save thats currently active?

[hardy river]

Ill look into that right now

Maybe just messing with the settings on ark nitrado instead of the ini, and then naddingn llines for myself instead of copying singnle player settings

[clear bronze]

Ok, Also I'm not planning on going back to the island so I'm not really worried about save data or anything from there but will it affect anything else?

If i keep using the same install

Gotcha that's what im planning on doing

[distant hearth]

if it works like ase it wont even overwirtie the island data, will just make a new scorched earth save folder, i think

i might be wrong but i seem remeber it did, or maybe that was only singleplaye

[dense magnet]

Hey I keep having this issue on an unofficial server, when I open inventories of dinos, storage, or crafting stuff it’s fine the first time but if I open it again ot just bugs and all goes away and I can’t see or access any items in them

[distant hearth]

bit of an odd one that verify files first thing to try

Oof

Hard reset your xbox

[dense magnet]

I saw in chat a few console players having it, whole inventory just buggin and can’t use them

[clear bronze]

I just started the server and its still loading up the Island. Do I need to physically make an install of Scorched Earth in the folder for it to start?

[wise kindle]

Yeah the last resort is a full game reinstall to fix that.

[dense magnet]

Done that

Alr, thanks ima have to try reinstall, there goes the pvp grind for the day

Delete the game, reboot the xbox, reinstall. Its ugly.

[clear bronze]

Im using the steam launcher if that helps as well. Mods work when I put them in the properties section in steam but not in start.bat. So I think there's another configuration place or something where I can change the map.

no

[sterile leaf]

Ok new question. Its not just everytime i switch between maps on my cluster vanilla engrams have to be relearned. Its everytime i log out and back in any ideas how to fix this?

[deft siren]

Anyone got info on how the Bobs Tall Tales mod works with other players that don't have the mods? Can non-mod players interact with trains/poker table/etc.? If I drop a mod item and a non-mod player picks it up are they able to use it? Mod have to be owned at the server level or just by clients?

yikes ok thanks

[clear bronze]

I see. I'm pressing launch on steam. I suppose I didn't think if that would be launching the bat or launching the exe straight up.

[wise kindle]

Most items can be interacted with, without the package. They just cant do super important things but you can actually give ALOT of things to your tribemates who dont have it.

[deft siren]

treasure maps and shovels work?

[distant hearth]

just make the bat file an put it in the same place the arkascendedserver.exe is , that will work, then make a shortcut link from it to desktop for easy acces 🙂

[clear bronze]

Yep that's what I am doing now lol

[wise kindle]

Those no. They cant wear the cowboy skins or tame the Oasissaur. But they can interact and play poker, the piano etc. Can also hand them the structure skin and they can use it - which is amazing.

They can drive the train as well

[distant hearth]

im skim reading whilst looking up parts for next weeks work lmao

[clear bronze]

Can they use the cart or ride the oasissaur?

@polar echo thats what I figured and why I was asking to see if anybody scimmed the source code to see what it is now

[unborn jetty]

what does this mean

Error! App '2430930' state is 0x426 after update job.
CWorkThreadPool::~CWorkThreadPool: work complete queue not empty, 1 items discarded.

and how to fix happens when i try to update server

no 2019, i had no issue yesterday updating, just all these updates since scorch came out

i might try to reboot pc an see if that helps

[distant hearth]

good old fashion switch it off and on again never hurts 🙂

[unborn jetty]

if i change the exe file name that shouldnt effect anything would it?

[distant hearth]

likely it wud as its looking for arkascendedserver.exe to update it

[unborn jetty]

uhm alright noted, ill have to do some stuff, i change the name because i need it named diffrently in processes so the discord bot can shut them down an update ect

its how i built it and i do use rcon but what i mean is i need to check they are running ect

so i check for that processor name if its there or not

what ill do is instead of renamining the exe ill clone it and rename it that way theres always the default exe as theres no problem loading the exe with diff name

[jovial walrus]

It worked thank s so much 🙏

[tropic matrix]

Any one else unable to find their server? Did the server list 0 thing , verifying file now. See comments in steam and survive the ark saying to open console in main menu, but it doesn't work.

Only got show player server and show password protected.

[distant hearth]

set the top filter to all, not pve or pvp,
search the first part server name and hit enter,
if its online and working correctly it shud show

[tropic matrix]

I typically keep it on all. But will try soon as files finish verifying.

is what i had to change it to, instead of just renaming the arkascendedserver.exe file, as i thought it generated a new exe each time u updated lol, thanks tho

[white garnet]

😦 ok ty

[tropic matrix]

Still no showing

[fallow parcel]

Hello, my game on Steam has to patch almost every day since installing it. Any ideas why and how to stop it?

It's 105.63 GB worth of fixing, seems like the entire game each time and takes hours.

And I don't see any updates from the game devs themselves releases patches.

[slow crane]

Do we know what mods for nitrado servers are working rn they fuckin broke em again

[white garnet]

i have heard other people having this problem but im not sure the fix, try in the #bobs-with-probs channel

[fallow parcel]

Not sure why you're giving me sarcasm when I was just asking if this is normal since it seems like it isn't.

[fallow parcel]

Thank you.

[tropic matrix]

They don't always show as the full file size. Sometimes just a few hundred mb. Sounds like the files are going to a temp folder and getting deleted. Or something may be corrupting them forcing the main download and patching.

[fallow parcel]

Then relay that in a better manner.

[white garnet]

it is not normal to have to download a 100 gig patch every day you are ridiculous

[wind shell]

Anybody know why my son on Xbox can’t see my server in the server list, I can see and join it just fine on my pc?

[fallow parcel]

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it.

[tropic matrix]

Yw

[white garnet]

why would it take them hours to download and patch 300mb?

[analog shuttle]

Anyone know how to make JUST the wild Dino's stronger? Or do I just have to nerf the points put in when leveling?

[white garnet]

thats not how it works though, also in the bobs with probs channel other people have been reporting the same issue

[glad bluff]

Hi all,
We'd like to add some SE dinos to the Island (ASA Nitrado server). We're trying to add the Jerboa in as a test before adding more aggressive dinos. I've never done this before, can someone with more experience answer a few questions?

Do I add the spawn entry to the game.ini or does it go somewhere else?

We're trying to spawn them on the beach with roughly the same rarity as otters and other shoulder pets. Is this the code I need?

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesBeach_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Jerboa",EntryWeight=0.033,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Jerboa_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Jerboa_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

Any other potential complications I should be aware of?

[distant hearth]

DinoResistanceMultiplier=0.5

the default is 1 , 0.5 makes them take twice as many clicks to kill i mean er attacks

[distant hearth]

always that sort code is game.ini
yea messing with spawns is fun, im no good at it, once had like 1k snow owls spawning in rag death snow haha,
you just kinda have to mess with the weights a bit if it dont work as intended

[glad bluff]

Thanks!

[analog shuttle]

Wait that's wilds only? Tried it and felt like it was also tamed lol thanks I'll give it another shot

[distant hearth]

i think its wild only , from memory, check out the wiki, theres a few differnt ones you can do like, make tamed take more damage or deal less damage etc .

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

[analog shuttle]

Oh awesome thank you!!!

[distant hearth]

i like to make tamed do less damage, that we its not rock hard when u first start out but its just what ever you want to do , the beauty of unoffical can set it it exactly how u want mostly

[analog shuttle]

Yeah I was thinking more to make breeding more important, I am leaning towards more breeding forward server, thanks a bunch though!! Hope I'm done with the stats today so I can put the server public already 😭

[tropic matrix]

Found my issue. Last Netgear router update deleted the port forward list for my servers. It did not actually happen until it got rebooted. If you have a netgear router and you reboot, immediately check port forwarding. My server was running last night with the last update Ced posted on 4/5

[distant hearth]

wow thats kinda annoying, anyway to turn off auto updates? so u can manually do if want?

[tropic matrix]

Yea, should be a box under "check for updates" in thr basic setup tab

Some newer ones are in advanced tab , administration, router update

[gritty blaze]

I'm newer to the game and bought a server to try it out with people. I'm bad at building, I'm looking for someone who is 18+ friendly, and can help me build and figure the game out and has a mic.

[glad bluff]

Can anyone confirm that "ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer" is working in ASA?

This is the code we're currently using in the game.ini file:
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesBeach_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Jerboa",EntryWeight=0.033,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Jerboa_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Jerboa_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

Adjusting the weights definetly inpacts spawn rates, but SE dinos won't spawn on the Island no matter which dino we try with.

[tropic matrix]

I'm not sure if it changed in ASA but I had the same issue in ASE. The Jerboa would never spawn outside a summon cmd

I had to spawn in wild ones for my players

[glad bluff]

Oh weird, that's definitely good info to have. We tried adding wyvern to an area of the island too, but have run into the same issue.

[tropic matrix]

Yea, it's definitely weird as I could do all of it on the pg arks, which are noted to have same containers as the island

[glad bluff]

Maybe I'll try again somewhere down the road. Too much hassel right now. Thanks for the feedback!

[tropic matrix]

[carmine pagoda]

Could use some help with self hosted dedicated transfer. I've got two servers running on two different ports, configured in the same cluster. Both servers run and I can join either one. When I try to transfer from one to another, the server name appears on the transfer screen but has a lock icon next to it. I can't seem to find a way to trigger the transfer. Any thoughts \ ideas appreciated.

[tropic matrix]

I am not a guru on server clusters, but Google "can't transfer in cluster 2020" it's for ASM but alo of of it can be used for ideas outside of ASM.

Discord won't let me post the link.

[unborn jetty]

are clusters still broken? just enabled it an couple players stock on downloading after transfering

[carmine pagoda]

TY, I've tried google, bing and copilot.

[tropic matrix]

That's a good point, I know regular transfers are disabled for everything but bare character right now. Was in one of the recent crunches

[carmine pagoda]

Yeah, I saw that. I'm trying to transfer just the toon, no equipment, and have the flags for prevent download set to false. Appreciate the help and the time, but I think I have something else I've overlooked.

[tropic matrix]

Can try to add this to ini. Did not say if game.ini or gameusersettings.ini
PreventDownloadItems=True

This was post by Ced for a previous patch

For unofficial servers

[rich agate]

What commands do i need to do for an automated shutdown each day?

[distant hearth]

NoTributeDownloads=False

in gus ini , this line blocks all downlaods

if you self host(non nitrado) and have the two server instances running out seperate folders, they need a shared cluster folder
using this in commandline
-cluserdiroverride=xxxx

where xxxx is the folder they share
ie.-cluserdiroverride="D:\mycluster"

[carmine pagoda]

Trying this out, will report back. I don't have a cluster override folder currently set.

[distant hearth]

if you run them out of seperate folders it must be set or the data cant pass between the two servers

[old widget]

Does anyone know what the command is to set a player to lvl 109.

They lost their character and I want to reset them.

[distant hearth]

i dont think there is a specific command for that, i always had to add experience for them to level up

[unborn jetty]

do you know anything about being stuck on downloading (when u try to spawn) after u transfer?

[old widget]

Ahh. Ok. I tried the XP that the chart says but they only got 14 lvls

[distant hearth]

official or unoffical, self host or nitrado ?

[old widget]

Thanks for the help.

[unborn jetty]

unoffical an self host

[distant hearth]

just add it again but more , until they get where need

[unborn jetty]

i have it all clustered, if u click the scorched from island u get transfered to scorched but when u go to spawn u need to download the character it gets suck on this

[old widget]

Thanks. Luckily is the other server owner.

[ruby kindle]

Does anyone know how to turn off the treausre map drops?

[distant hearth]

read above then , same applies , check the filters in both servers an the shared folder if there running out seperate folder

[low dew]

@unborn jetty if you are getting stuck on the endless downloading your character is gone

[old widget]

She has been having issues since she physically is on a trip to see me and using my Xbox and it arkd her

[low dew]

you have a config set incorectly

[unborn jetty]

i already know the chars are gone just tryna find what the issue is, everything goes to the same paths same cluster id ect

[low dew]

check the gus on both servers look for notributedownloads=

if its set to true that is your problem

[distant hearth]

the line is a little misleading but it blocks all downloads, alot people miss it or miss use it

[low dew]

@distant hearth alot of beginner server hosts think its what blocks outside downloads when in a cluster when its not true the cluster id does this

[distant hearth]

yea , i never had an issue using a unique clusterid always blocked outside transfers and single player.

[low dew]

yup ive tested it to just to be sure

[distant hearth]

lolz ye same , mutiple times

[low dew]

kinda a bummer i cant terrorize people with my level 999 wyrven with 500k health and 1000% damage

[distant hearth]

yea its suprising how many servers arent set right :/ the defaults shud block

[olive talon]

Just in case server owners are looking for these for anything,
https://usebeacon.app/Games/ArkSA/Mods/2881150

[distant hearth]

awesome thx bee

[low dew]

beacon is a absolute god send for any server owner

finnaly it gets pinned as it should

[olive talon]

Actually I fixed it, links to each instead of just the spawn codes

[olive talon]

It's already been pinned.

[low dew]

o i never noticed it before

[rich agate]

Half the content of Beacon is locked behind a paywall...

[distant hearth]

wrong

besides its cheap asf amyway

[rich agate]

Wouldn't let me edit rates when i tried.

[olive talon]

He's doing it on his own, so he has to make money from it somehow for the resources and time spent. Either way, this is not the channel to rant about the app.

[rich agate]

Not ranting, it is useful, but an hour lookign at guides will help more imo.

[ashen nebula]

I created a server for the island by following a youtube guide. I'm not sure how to "cluster" my servers when I create my scorched earth server. Is there anyone who can walk me through it? I've ben having trouble finding info on youtube.

[distant hearth]

wel its a personal choice, i shall continue to reccomend it , even the free version

[rich agate]

Yeah, fair enough.

[distant hearth]

pinned messages theres one bee linked in my name its for ase but principal same, you need a shared cluster folder if running the servers out seperate folders(best way imo)

ive been meaning adding the server clustering to my setup guide but it aint happening tn, couple pints of proper cider from devon my brother brough me back so zzz soon hahahaa

[carmine pagoda]

TY for the response, but still have the issue. I tried setting the save directory to the same folder and specifying the -cluseterdiroverride and neither way allowed me to transfer. Again, TY for the time and patience in responding.

[distant hearth]

no problem, both servers must have same id an dir override,
they must then both hav the correct filters in the gus ini

[low dew]

@carmine pagoda must be in the exact format as showen -clusterID=xxxxx -ClusterDirOverride="C:\Example\Location"

[carmine pagoda]

pwds and public identifiers have been changed

<redacted>

[low dew]

these cant be in there ^

the little arrows

[distant hearth]

holy hell why do it all from command line and half it is wrong

[carmine pagoda]

They have to be in thre, it's how you~~ break ~~ escape the carriage return in a batch file.

[low dew]

also all those oter gus settings cant be in there lol

some are gus some are game.ini settings in the command line thats crazy lol

that whole thing needs to be redone

[distant hearth]

also u dont need both cluster dir override and alt save directory , it depends which u use on how the servers are set , judging by commnd line, both from the same server instance

[low dew]

@carmine pagoda your also missing your cluster id

nvm there it is i see it beter to use a number imo maybe thats personal pref

[carmine pagoda]

third line from bottom: -clusterid=AscendedArkers

[distant hearth]

how are u running the servers , both from one folder/server instance , using the batch file to change the ini for each ?

[low dew]

i donno how his server even starts im assuming alot of the settings are going back to default

[elder fox]

Has anyone gotten alliances to work? If so how?

Offline raid protection and prevent alliance is off already and it still won’t work.

[carmine pagoda]

Run from same server, each has different map/port settings.

[low dew]

needs to be pvp server @elder fox

[elder fox]

It is

[low dew]

should be working if orp is off

[distant hearth]

i mean it can be done that way, just storage space cheap i dont see why anyone wud, lots room for error

[low dew]

@distant hearth remember when i thought my commandline looked crazy lol

[carmine pagoda]

I'm an old school computer geek, I prefer a formatted "run" command to scattered settings in a file. (who apparently can't type today).

[low dew]

@carmine pagoda id still recommend cleaning it up and getting all the ini stuff outta there and into there ini files

@carmine pagoda so the issue is no one can transfer or you getting inf downloading??

[carmine pagoda]

When I go to transfer, I can see the other server. It has a lock next to the name and I don't see a transfer button.

Or anything that looks like it should trigger the transfer.

[low dew]

okay and you got alll the upload and download settinsg in the inis set to false including notributedownloads

[distant hearth]

ServerAutoForceRespawnWildDinosInterval^
this line isnt even doing anything, chances are anything behind it is ignored

[low dew]

yeah thats the wrong setting for it

i have the right one ill get it

[carmine pagoda]

It's grabbing the setting past that, I have xp and harvest multiplers set after that.

[low dew]

-ForceRespawnDinos i believe it is

does this on restart

[slate bridge]

Anyone know the spawn code for the oasisaur?

[low dew]

ok i rewote best i cud , double check through , you can see whats not needed now and it might work , i removed the lil arrows becuase i never used them so not sure there use , im not a coder but can get servers to run ,

[slate bridge]

thank you but doesnt seem to work :)(

[bright trail]

anyone know what to put in the ini to increase engram points?

[distant hearth]

try it ,alter it , or disregard it, shud work though

[low dew]

@slate bridge it is locked behind a paywall you do have the dlc yes

Gmsummon “Oasisaur_Character_BP_C” 150

[slate bridge]

yeah i got he dlc 🙂

[low dew]

wasnt suppose to be a space in there my bad

[carmine pagoda]

The little arrows allow you to hit return \ get a newline and continue the command. Makes it possible to format \ control where the text wraps.

[low dew]

@slate bridge try that new on i just linked

[delicate smelt]

Is imprint broken on unofficial.. babies mature before there is enough time to get 100%

[low dew]

@delicate smelt sounds like your configs are way off

[delicate smelt]

I'm just using it straight out of the box... does it need configuring?

[distant hearth]

not something im familair with sorry, hopefully you can adapt it to fit what you need with the newer asa lines an old ase ones removed

you may also struggle with ?port= changing the port, some of us have to use -port=xxxx

[low dew]

if your running vanilla everything should be lanaced

[delicate smelt]

I have a few mods but none that alter the base gameplay - i.e. breeding/taming speeds etc

[low dew]

@delicate smelt any of those mods affect how fast the babys mature ?? because if you have the maturation boosted and non of the other 3 or 4 settings asociated for it you could miss imprinting

[carmine pagoda]

appreciate the effort, I'll try it out momentarily.

[delicate smelt]

negative.. have things like GPS and Death Recovery Mod..

[low dew]

you playing single player or a dedi

[delicate smelt]

Dedi

[low dew]

are you the owner?

[bright trail]

anyone know what to put in the ini to increase engram points?

[low dew]

@bright trail yes one sec

[delicate smelt]

yep - I run it off a PC I have in the house

[low dew]

@delicate smelt ok one sec

[distant hearth]

if u have increased mature spped you need to alter imprint amount ot imprint frequency to allow you 100% , i recomend beacon ark app for this, it lets you change the settins and see what they do to every dino
the free version will do this, hit export , look at the game ini an copy the setiings u want

[low dew]

@delicate smelt BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=1
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=1
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=1
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=1
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=1
LayEggIntervalMultiplier=1
MatingIntervalMultiplier=1
MatingSpeedMultiplier=1

in your game ini for pure vanilla

[distant hearth]

oh sry missed it was vanilla

[low dew]

@bright trail OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=0 in your game ini you will need one for every single level and you change the 0 to the corrisponding engram points you want

@bright trail so you will need 100 lines of that to have all 100 levels with boosted points

lol good times

[distant hearth]

if you want pure vanilla just delete the game ini, it amused me when i first setup my own server to see it wasnt even included in the files. had to add it lolz

[delicate smelt]

Thanks - mine appears to be set to 0.9999998 etc

[low dew]

yeah that would f with stuff

[distant hearth]

thats someone copy pasting single player ini , seen it before a few times

[delicate smelt]

odd considering I've never played with the ini file

[wise kindle]

Must be on a youtube video somewhere

[bright trail]

fun

[low dew]

you can just delete them all outta the game ini and it will be vanilla the same to

i just wanted to give you somthing visual and what affects it

[distant hearth]

0.999999998 is esentialy =1 so just delete it an voila , default 1

[delicate smelt]

what if I just delete the ini file entirely... will it rebuild on launch?

[low dew]

no you can delete the lines

@distant hearth but does it though ark is friggen weird with stuff

[delicate smelt]

it's weird because almost all the lines have 0.9999998 rather than 1

[distant hearth]

it just wont care , it will put them to default settings
only the game ini can u do this

[low dew]

@delicate smelt i have the setting slightly boosted i can show you what my server uses

[distant hearth]

dont delete gus ini , but even then , it just made a default one, last i tried it

[low dew]

BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=2
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.4
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=1
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=2
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=4
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=5
LayEggIntervalMultiplier=2
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.5
MatingSpeedMultiplier=2
@delicate smelt

that setting allows for 100 % imprint on all dinos

while being slightly faster then vanilla

[delicate smelt]

this is what mine looks like lol

BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=0.999989986

[hollow robin]

hi yall is anybody having problems with players randomly not being able to throw out dinos from cryos we have had no issues at all and today some players are having this issue its not the cryo frige thing wild card did so im confused y this is randomly happining

[distant hearth]

its the second person i seen today with it , and about the 20th overall, single player ini settings are weird, ark spaghetti

[wise kindle]

If its during a lightning storm then thats by design.

[low dew]

@hollow robin get a mod called configurable cryopods and never run into broken pods again lol

[wise kindle]

Lightning knocks out all power, including tek and podding does not function till the storm passes.

[low dew]

@wise kindle i had no idea weather affects them holy news to me

[wise kindle]

yep its an SE thing since ASE

[hollow robin]

probubly y lml

i compleatly forgot about that lmao ty m8

[wise kindle]

Yeah everyone forgets SE does that. I had to knock out the cobwebs in my brain and remember its a thing on Scorched.

[delicate smelt]

so is there a vanilla game.ini file available via WC ?

[hollow robin]

right

[distant hearth]

yea , lightning = bad things to electronics/tek stuff

[hollow robin]

its been to dam long lol

[low dew]

@delicate smelt just delete everything outta the game ini and your good

[wise kindle]

Its kinda cool tbh, its just like a real storm.

[low dew]

keep the file delete the contents of it @delicate smelt

[distant hearth]

for official servers or just a base game flat default, officals dont use a default one lmao

[hollow robin]

ya players are like that is dumb lmao ty for the help tho m8 im so tired lol

[wise kindle]

np

[delicate smelt]

ok so save it as a blank file and re-launch

[low dew]

pretty much

thats flat default as vanilla as it gets for game ini

[delicate smelt]

thanks guys.. appreciate all the help ❤️

[hollow robin]

is there a way we can disable the weather for SE

[low dew]

no

[distant hearth]

not yet , hoping they add configs for it

[hollow robin]

i know on ase i had it coded and it was off

[low dew]

-yoursolcantdisableweathereffects

[hollow robin]

same

[bleak ivy]

you can turn them off with the CE command.

have to do it each time tho

[low dew]

soon hopfully or atleast able to change the interval of them

[wise kindle]

So there is a video by TeachersGameToo that lists all the weather commands. But it has to be run on the map.

[bleak ivy]

so pretty often looking at ASA

[distant hearth]

yea turn off with command an you spend more time typing them in there so frequent hahaa , im sure they balance them soon enough

[hollow robin]

ya i use the command it just be nicer to have it off most of the time so players expecially thenewbies to stop complaning lmao

[wise kindle]

I fully expect a mod to come out that disables weather tho. It is moddable, just gotta wait for it to come out OR commission it.

[hollow robin]

ya i like watching him for new stuff

[wise kindle]

The dude is the MAN.

[hollow robin]

i hope so

[ashen nebula]

is there anyone here willing to walk me through creating my scorched earth server and clustering it with my island server? I've looked at the pinned Cluster set up guide and to be honest I'm still a little lost in the sauce. I am bad with these kinds of things and honestly it feels like a miracle that my island server works lol. I can send screenshots of my .bat start up file and my Steam CMD folder on my desktop for reference if nessecary.

[distant hearth]

id be suprised if isnt being worked on as we speak by someone smart

[wise kindle]

Oh Bet! Its soarly needed for alot of the RP maps.

[distant hearth]

normally id help, but not tn sry, if ure still struglling in about 16 hours dm me an i help

[ashen nebula]

will do, if i dont have it set up by tomorrow evening after i get off work ill reach out. Thanks

[carmine pagoda]

@distant hearth @low dew I want to thank you both for the time and effort, unfortunately the last edit did not work properly. I'll continue to look at this on my own time, I've taken enough of yours. I do appreciate the patience and time you gave me.

[delicate smelt]

ok I've relauched but the game.ini is still blank.. is that ok @low dew

[distant hearth]

this channel is for setup help, time doesnt come into it, we all just want happy arkers that arent on nitrado junk hahaha

[distant hearth]

blank means the server is running all default game.ini settings , which i believe was your goal 🙂

[low dew]

@delicate smelt yea its not gonna populated with anything

[delicate smelt]

thanks... so why was all that crap in there when I didn't put it there lol

[distant hearth]

ive only seen it in there from single player copy paste, was it a stm cmd server or run through the steam game browser/app

[delicate smelt]

cmd

[distant hearth]

no idea then sry, everytime ive installed stmcmd server the game ini just doesnt exist

[delicate smelt]

maybe I did something to "build" the game.ini and forgot I'd done it.. but I don't remember doing it.. it's been like this for me since day 1 of TheIsland

[delicate smelt]

so it's gotta have been me 😄

[cursive viper]

Are mods still making the game crash in unofficial??

[delicate smelt]

I have multiple mods running without issue

[distant hearth]

i means its ark, nothing suprises me, been alot updates since i last installed a clean one

[distant hearth]

same i have mutiple running no issues

[wise kindle]

Any mod can crash the game. Just depends on how wisely you choose them.

[distant hearth]

i always have to laugh, so many times the comment is, well they worked together fine before the update

[wise kindle]

The 8 different structure mods on top of each other are totally NOT the issue after an update 🤦‍♀️

Thats the one that gets me.

I'm like, yes, yes it probably is lol.

[low dew]

i got 30 mods some of which are creature spawns some dont spawn on se but no errors or crashes as of yet

[wise kindle]

same, got about 23 just creature and qol mods. Might add arkitects at some point if CKF doesnt come out soon.

[delicate smelt]

@low dew & @distant hearth thanks very much for your help earlier.. it worked... 8 hours between imprints now

[delicate smelt]

@distant hearth so since restarting after deleting the game.ini... I now have loads of lvl 1 creatures lol... is this a bug? 😄

[sly plover]

So i cant find my server becuase on console its .3 and on nitrado its .4 are they gonnna fix it?

[delicate smelt]

I've also seen level 4, 7 & 9 😮

[delicate smelt]

This channel is for unofficial.. not Nitrado stuff 😦

[sly plover]

It is a unofficial server

[delicate smelt]

ahh sorry yeah duh.. it's been a long day 😄

[distant hearth]

hmm maybe u was using maxdifficulty=true in game ini to get 150 dinos ,

look in game user setting ini, for the line ,
overrideofficaldifficulty=1
stop server, change it to
overrideofficialdifficulty=5

restart server, do a dnio wipe in game and you shud be good

[sly plover]

Its just the problem is the console version isnt up to date with my unofficial

[delicate smelt]

does this actually make the game harder to play or just increase dino levels

[bright trail]

if I just want it to be for level 100 what would i enter?

[distant hearth]

just increases the wild dino levels to possibly spawn at a max of 150, in intervals of 5 so lowest u see it 5

technically it harder as higher level dinos hurt you more

[delicate smelt]

ok so don't have that line so I guess I need to add it 🙂

[fringe bloom]

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? The server won't launch unless I remove the -mods string.
The server console returns this:
CFCore:Couldn't load mods library from disk
CFCore:User context not loaded from disk
CFCore:Error querying server mods: ApiError: Failed (server unreachable)

[distant hearth]

yes add it , lemme find the exact line incase i typo doing from to phead

[raven canyon]

I think I have changed something and now SE day cycle is over 3 hours long I thought day cycle the same for all maps? since my island map is 1 hour only just both have the same server settings is there a command I added or SE just longer? I know there is a day cycle line but triple checked and I don't have it .

[low dew]

@bright trail do the same line 100 times and leave them all 0 except for the 100th one

[bright trail]

I only want the points to apply at level 100

[low dew]

i just told you how

[bright trail]

ok

[distant hearth]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5

[delicate smelt]

thanks @distant hearth, you da best ❤️

[distant hearth]

dont forget to dino wipe after and you shud be good

[delicate smelt]

yeah and can I put the "unlock all engrams" in user.ini or does that have to go in game.ini

[distant hearth]

look for theese lines in gus.ini

DayTimeSpeedScale=
NightTimeSpeedScale=

delete them to go back to default

i think its 1 by default but , cant rem,

[raven canyon]

thanks! I may add them since I don't have them in gus.ini at all and days are super long

[distant hearth]

adding swhud not be need, if not there they default to stock settings

might be worth check the wiki for any other day/night settings, i think there was a couple others

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

[raven canyon]

thanks

[uncut geode]

Anyone know why my SE is in restart loop and how to fix it? I tried restart, stop. I tried getting deleting mods still nothing

[sacred saffron]

how do I load scorched earth with the ASA dedicated server launcher on steam

i add -ScorchedEarth_WP into the command line but then in the server console it still says TheIsland_WP?listen and then -ScorchedEarth_WP

[slate bridge]

anyone know how to enable certain structures on platforms like vaults teleporters etc ?

[spare patrol]

im trying to make scorched earth a little more tolerable for my paralized friend that has trouble playing. I increased the fortitude multiplier but even at 70 fortitude still getting wrecked by the heat in desert gear. Any ideas?

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[10]=2.5

[low dew]

@uncut geode welcome to being a nitrado user

[uncut geode]

damn man wtf

and i pay a lot for that too lol 🤡

[low dew]

sorry to hear nitrado isnt a good host if you what reliable good servers you wanna rent bare metal server boxes

and its also not jsut you struggling with the issue its you and alot of nitrado users

[uncut geode]

Ik ik man thats sad af

[cunning slate]

Since I switched over to Scorched Earth I've not been able to use engrams from any mods, including Gigantoraptor. Is this normal?

[wise kindle]

Switched maps? Or transferred?

[cunning slate]

Self hosted server, switched maps, transferred both our characters from the Island.

[bleak ivy]

if you transferred then you already know them no?

[cunning slate]

Yes, they "unlearned" the engrams.

and now I can't learn any non wildcard engrams.

[wise kindle]

It sounds like your settings arent the same on both maps.

[bleak ivy]

thats weird maybe the mod downloads got messed up.

[low dew]

im gonna go with a config issue or a bat issue

[bleak ivy]

try all of the above

[cunning slate]

I'll look into that, but I changed nothing more than the map on the .bat

[wise kindle]

Redownload your mods as well

[cunning slate]

on the client side?

[wise kindle]

Both

[cunning slate]

Newb question here, but does the server re-download the mods every time it restarts or no?

[low dew]

no

[cunning slate]

Ok, that could be an issue... guess I'm not sure how to force re-download.

[low dew]

delete all the mods outta the mod folder

and then run the server it will redownload them

[cunning slate]

ok...that wouldn't nix any tames I have from mods would it?

[low dew]

share your bat here so we can see your startup parm

@cunning slate it shouldent take a backup of your world if your worried

just change your ip and pass to xxx before posting

[quiet scroll]

Does anyone know how I can get all the dinos that can have carts able to go on rafts again?

[cunning slate]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?SessionName="Kamikaze Tribe Ark Server 2024"? -mods=928621,900062,916922,908148,914844,912815,933301,930115,930128,912902,930170,931874,944994,935528,950657,953108,929271,947835,939819,933588,927131,926956,969855,939244,975223,975282,949521,926259,939228,983782,972492,968943,935408,961601 -passivemod=927084 -nobattleye -nosteamclient -game -server -log -crossplay -WinLiveMaxPlayers=12 -eastercolors

[low dew]

pretty sure you dont need -crossplay -passivemod=927084

[cunning slate]

I'll cut that out then.

[low dew]

i believe the servers are auto crossplay unless otherwise told to

[cunning slate]

I threw that on originally because I was throwing spaghetti at the wall trying to get my wife to be able to connect to the server via xbox, before I learned how to do the port forwarding.

[sacred saffron]

if im using steams ASA dedicated server launcher, where do i put ScorchedEarht_WP to change the map? if i go to properties and add it to launch options it still just launches TheIsland_WP?listen first

[low dew]

im not seeing any issues with your mods

it looks all correct for the bat

[quiet scroll]

probably better off using SteamCMD

[low dew]

@sacred saffron theres a launcher for ded server ???

[sacred saffron]

and if im not? where do i add it

[cunning slate]

Now that I'm thinking of it I had no issues until the latest patch.

[sacred saffron]

yes, in steam library show Tools as well

[quiet scroll]

google steam CMD

[low dew]

so you were playing on scorchedearth prior to the most recent patch ? @cunning slate before it went all weird

[sacred saffron]

i dont want to switch to steam CMD

[low dew]

@sacred saffron well you cant really use the exe to run a ded server steam cmd and bat files is what configures it

[quiet scroll]

neither did I, but it seems the dedicated one is very limited, I couldnt get things to work

[bleak ivy]

you can just put the bat file in the binaries folder.

[sacred saffron]

it worked perfectly fine for me for the island but this is the only problem i have now

[bleak ivy]

can even add it as a non-steam game to still be able to launch from steam just don't use that launcher anymore

[low dew]

you can alternativly get a server manager to do all the heavy lifting @sacred saffron

[bleak ivy]

steam does allow bat files right

[sacred saffron]

i can just put a bat file in steamapps common asa dedicated server binaries??

[bleak ivy]

yeah, just where the exe is and have it call it directly

[sacred saffron]

any recommendations

[bleak ivy]

nvm they don't

will need to launch it from the bat file in the folder then.

[low dew]

@sacred saffron google ark survival ascended server manager

[bleak ivy]

ASA has a server manager?

[low dew]

you should see a link for asadedicagtedmanager

@bleak ivy yes many i use a old basic one for mine

[cunning slate]

In hindsight we may have not issues right away.

[sacred saffron]

.eu?

[low dew]

that i have edited and configured to work for only me lol

yes @sacred saffron you can try that one

once you configure it with file locations ect ect it will take care of the bat file launching ect ect it jut makes life so much easier

[cunning slate]

@low dew That was it. Was going to redownload server mods first then client mods, and the server mod reinstall alone fixed the issue. Thanks for the assistance.

[low dew]

oh good sounds like it was a bit of corruption

which happens :/

[quiet scroll]

Is there a setting that allows cart dinos on rafts?

[stray axle]

Are there any ini file or cheat settings for oasisaur? Like timer cooldown for revival. or cheat to revive dino from souls you collected. I mis the mod revive my dino as its not created jet for ark ascended.

[low dew]

@stray axle no sadly

@quiet scroll it could be a bug do a bug report

[quiet scroll]

will do, thanks

[serene agate]

My waterskins & canteens have been disappearing on my dedicated server I'm hosting, is this a bug in scorched earth or something to do with my server settings?

[charred dagger]

Am I missing something? My console commands arent working

on scorched

[low dew]

@charred dagger single player or dedi

[charred dagger]

private unofficial

[low dew]

@serene agate you know i noticed this to i thought i was crazy

@charred dagger did you set up a admin password you need to log in as admin

[serene agate]

So I guess maybe a bug? Lol

[low dew]

deffinatly

i openedmy inventory and was like i swear i had more then 1

[charred dagger]

ya, only thing ive changed is the map. All my admin commands worked just fine on the island.

I cant enable them at all. Not even normal consle commands work, like volumetric stuff

[low dew]

im not really sure how consoles like xbox work but commands do work on my cluster i know thats no help if i was to guess maybe a full restart of everything including console ?

@charred dagger and double check to make sure there is a admin password

some times things get deleted by accident

[charred dagger]

Ive tied full restarts of both console and server, the admin password is still there and hasnt changed in the ini files. so idk why it wont work

[olive talon]

@humble thicket this channel is for unofficial setup help. Use #bobs-with-probs or #ark-survival-ascended.

[silver glen]

What is the name of the setting which enables player move speed leveling? I've tried looking on the internet and through the wiki and can't find it anywhere.

[bleak ivy]

bAllowSpeedLeveling=true
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=true
in game.ini.

[silver glen]

thanks

[icy path]

I had my island server shutdown for the last month. Worked fine, showed up on the unnofficial list, people were playing without issue for months before we put it on pause. Dedicated computer in the house, not a server rental.

Tried to fire up a Scorched Earth server and link them so I could play on a cluster and neither server shows up on the list, though I can join each using the "open IP:port" command through Ark. I can't transfer back and forth through obelisks though. I've also somehow managed to lose access to my character on the original Island server.

I can go to my base and see where I'm logged out, but I think when I was trying to transfer from SE to Island I broke something. I've been poking around for a couple hours without making any headway, I don't suppose anyone has some suggestions?

[lavish creek]

Anyone know if there's a way to restore character data?

[weary carbon]

if you made a backup

[lavish creek]

Nitrados service is god awful, guess I'll see what happens in a year.

[viral island]

My server was working fine, but now my brother can no longer join. I have checked the ip, the ports, the firewall, everything. The server shows up in the server list, and I can join it, but he can't. He used to be able to, and now, out of nowhere (Ark decided to Ark) he no longer can

[rain island]

is enabling flying speed still broken on ark asa? I saw that Sqaw's flyers mods is also not working anymore

I have
bAllowSpeedLeveling=True
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True
on my server but cannot level any speed on myself or a flyer

[lunar cloud]

is the server fully up to date?
Its not showing up in the unofficial tab? if not that's not healthy and something is broke.
Your server should appear on the battle metrics website.
If you can connect directly its likely the port is accessible from your client but maybe not publicly

[native wave]

This is copied directly from my Game.ini from my ASA island server which lets me adjust the speed on me and my flyers:

bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True```
Your's appears correct, however, my guess is you have this in the GUS ini....it belongs in Game.ini

[obsidian moat]

my friend on my server is getting an interesting error when trying to swap back from island to scorched, the terminal says "cannot upload, survivor already uploaded". if she exits the island and tries to enter the scorched server, it gives her the ascension survivior download screen, even though she is level 37 and definitely not ascended

[dire sierra]

Has anyone had issues running a Dedicated server on a private server, running window server OS 2019?

[native wave]

I believe there are errors causing issues after the SE patch with Server 2019 and below

not sure what they are as I do not run windows server

[dire sierra]

Thanks, ever since we did the SE update i cant connect to any of my Island Server. been down for week now. need a solutions

[obsidian moat]

island is broken af for me too lol

[dire sierra]

it shows up in the list but no one connect. connection times out. i know 100% i have all the porting correct.

[obsidian moat]

rn mine is nitrado and its stuck in a restarting loop

and ofc my friend is stuck on there lol

all because this 180 gigantoraptor is bugged and wont freaking dance

might be a mod issue for me though, but scorched has not crashed once whereas the island has crashed about 7 times today, and they have the same mods

[celest halo]

im starting to think that might be a UE5 issue other games that got an update this weekend also dont work on older version of windows server

[native wave]

hmm....possibly

in which case, it would be out of the hands of WC

only a full revert to the previous version would fix it, or an update that resumes support for 2019 and lower

[celest halo]

yeah, Palworld updated thursday/friday they use UE5 also and it stopped on the older window servers also, so it either UE5 or a setting them and ark missed

[ember kindle]

im getting DXGI_INVALID_CALL

[native wave]

anything that would prevent items uploaded to an obelisk. have all the prevent options (items, dinos, survivors, upload, and download) set to false. No Tribute downloads is also set to false. Trying to make sure my cluster is working between my 3 servers, but I can't even upload items to the obelisk inventory

[wise kindle]

You dont want to anyway, the ob is still eating things. Especially if it has a timer on it. Best to transfer with everything on you.

[native wave]

ah ok

[trim yew]

Is there a issue with empty death bags not disappearing?

[bleak ivy]

I think its trying to give death essense but can't for you and just makes a bag. gotta keep something in the body so you can remove the bag after. (from what I've noticed)

[native wave]

after a reboot of my island server I was able to upload 1 hide and it appeared in the obelisk inventory....but I haven't been able to retrieve my survivor from the server I'm trying to transfer to. I can see the two other servers in my cluster and initiate a transfer. I end up going to the server but I'm not given the option to spawn the survivor I transferred with...just asks to create a new character.

[wise kindle]

Mine stays after I empty it. I think it keeps the 3 cosmetic icons in there till the bag expires. Very weird bug.

[bleak ivy]

huh, weird. guess there are 2 different bugs making them lol

[frosty hollow]

How do i make a cluster with windowsgsm

[trim yew]

Them bags are annoying cuz of the extreme weather in scorched our base is littered with death bags lol...

What about the well... It wouldnt irrigate the water tank

[low dew]

@native wave do you have a cluster id set for all the servers and a cluster dir

[native wave]

yeah, set it up just like my ASE cluster was setup. checking to see if there are proper permissions though for the servers to write. mine is a bit of a weird setup. within pterodactyl each server has a mount point for a directory on the host. This essentially links all the servers by that directory even though each server is in it's own docker container. I created the clusters directories under that directory...but I may have assigned it the wrong user as the owner. retrying creation as there was also an issue with allowed mount points in pterodactyl. It's been a while since I setup my cluster for ASE.

[low dew]

let me see your launch param

[native wave]

-NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterDirOverride=/ThunderCluster/ -clusterid=********

[low dew]

well from what you sent its already incorrect

[native wave]

it's on Linux

[low dew]

best if you send me all of itin a dm

then i can see if theres any other errors and ill give you the right launch params

[native wave]

yay working cluster

[grave fiber]

I have my servers working, I can transfer between them, but when I transfer my female character from the Island to Scorched all of the attributes of my character change. Even the hair no longer sits on her head but sits back leaving half the hair floating in the air. Messing with the scissors do nothing.

is there a file in the scorched server that might be changing this?

[slate bridge]

Morning, has anyone had issues on unofficial where you’d lose your character after transferring to another map. They get connection Time out. They seem to be on ps5 so not sure if that’s the problem

[low dew]

anyone else had the issue

[slate bridge]

I’ve had three players at the moment, all on ps5 over the last 2-3 days

[undone hearth]

Hello everyone, this problem deletes characters during transfer randomly, a full transfer between island and scorched is open. A player can transfer several times and everything is fine, but sometimes during the transfer he is removed. it can be fixed?
