Wasn’t that a problem on ase as well we used to have to upload and then download your character was much safer

[fair finch]

How do we get the nature’s touch mod to work? I can’t find the smithy anywhere

[tropic edge]

I also tried using a spawn container but it didn't work. I will now try it with "NPCReplacement". Has it worked for you in the meantime?

[humble thicket]

anyone know or could recommend someone that's a developer that I can comission for a chibi and currency mod for my server?

[pseudo latch]

Anyone able to add BBS to boss loot on insaluna map? Would appreciate a code or 2 😏

[spice tendon]

This worked for me in game.ini in the top section:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesOasis_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gigantoraptor",EntryWeight=0.104846154,NPCsToSpawn=("/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=65,Y=-108,Z=0),(X=-46,Y=-550,Z=0),(X=-587,Y=-437,Z=0),(X=-418,Y=559,Z=0),(X=-576,Y=-70,Z=0)),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

[remote marlin]

Hey is there anywhere you can adjust the time between the weather on SE.. ??

[stray axle]

For me there is also barley a normal day without any random storms its just storm storm storm storm storm. And between each storm like 3 mins normale weather. XD

[remote marlin]

On my server the there is almost no stop between the Storm or heatwave ..

[lunar cloud]

77C during the day, -59C during night, and storms on loop + repeat

[remote marlin]

Yes but is there not a code that make more time between the storms

[lunar cloud]

no code I am aware of , you can check the wiki, but there's never been for ASE

[remote marlin]

Tx I've been there .. 😎 I have to live whit the storm 🤠

[tropic edge]

That worked, thanks mate! 🙏

[blazing kettle]

873 error is back. Now I cannot even start the game. Any solutions? Or do I just have to wait untill they fix it???

[pulsar laurel]

it's ok i found a solution fixed

[daring prairie]

I can’t spawn Dinos playing on Ps5. Giving the whole command but it’s not working

[serene agate]

How do I add easter colors to my dedicated server?

[hazy silo]

Anyone knows how to fix the 50 50 black hole bug ?

[hazy silo]

there's a switch if your hosting with nitrado

[serene agate]

Using steamCMD. Do I add it to game.ini? Gameusersettings.ini?

[hollow holly]

How I remove sun lights and rain?

[serene agate]

Also, any reason why Krazy Cosmetics isn't working on my dedicate server? I added the mod ID to both StartArk.bat & Gameusersettings, when I start up the server, it recognizes the mod, but then says "server started with 2 mods" excluding Krazy Cosmetics.

[daring prairie]

I just lost allot of stuff after server restart on my Nitrado server and Nitrado it self is down…

[alpine quail]

Is anyone having issues on their SE servers regarding element disappearing once they leave the arena?

[undone frost]

Is there any setting in ASA to reduce the bed respawn cooldown?

So players don't have to wait 5 minutes to spawn in a bed

[nova gazelle]

You lose element when ascending (element can’t be transferred across arks and ascending uploads your character so you can be ready to download your character with all your stuff)

Simple solution: put element in Dino’s inventory before ascension begins

[blazing lichen]

hey so im running a server and someons bag with all their importnant items was left in it but i cant open the bag anyone know if theres a command to where i can open it and give them their stuff back

[nova gazelle]

Maybe try the command givetome?

[blazing lichen]

nope

[wise kindle]

Use a whip in it

[clever trail]

I have the island and scorched setup (7777 and 7779 ports) and i also have a clusterdiroverride location set with a cluster name in both start scripts and in the gus.ini i also added the 7 params for uploads/downloads but the 2 servers don't see each other

Can anyone direct me to a in depth guide to see what i might be missing

[stable bobcat]

Does anyone have the correct ini line to block a spawn ?

[short eagle]

Erm. so I put in an ini line to let gigaraptors spawn on Scorched, but I just found that the line got auto-deleted from the ini. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

[distant hearth]

you make the ini read only, just remeber that you have done so , or it might have an issue updating next time

probably be fine but if it need to write to ini , it will likely not be happy

[short eagle]

👍

[last drum]

Does the Letter to Jane mod still crash single player?

[stable bobcat]

What was the line you used?

[short eagle]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesOasis_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gigantoraptor",EntryWeight=0.15,NPCsToSpawn=("/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=71,Y=576,Z=0),(X=158,Y=-688,Z=0),(X=400,Y=401,Z=0),(X=587,Y=-436,Z=0),(X=423,Y=-135,Z=0)),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

(idk how to do that collapsible text box thing) someone here was kind enough to provide it

@tender hearth

This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment and server advertising channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.

[distant hearth]

iirc it just comes up with this if you arent using any mods, its not an actual error as such,
is the server causing problems?

[boreal horizon]

what settings did yall use for solo running the island?

[light lily]

The server start and i can join but i have activate 4 mods with -mods=?,?,?,? but i have the message again and it doesn't download the mods

[distant hearth]

hmm thats strange , double check the ids are correct and the batch file is correct , alot batch files are wrong or have extra spaces so the server ignores the wrong parts

if you wsnt to post the batch file here an put xxxxx wher ethe paswords me or one the others will check it for you

just copy paste the txt

[light lily]

"TheIsland_WP?QueryPort=27015?Port=27015?listen?UseBattlEye" -Mods=933099,930403,930404,939228

[distant hearth]

its an ark ascended server or evolved?

[light lily]

ascended

[distant hearth]

its all kinds of wrong tbh lol , even if it was ase server ,
where you setting the server name , in the game user setting ini ?

[light lily]

my manager takes care of his

i have no problem before i upgrade my dedicated server to window server 2022

because the patch of scorched earth broken the window server 2016

[distant hearth]

i dont use any manager for this reason , there wrong , its probably ?battleye thats messing it up , but its also trying to use port 27015 as a query port and game port, asa only uses the one udp game port , id bet if u look the server up on battlemetrics its running on port 7777

[celest halo]

why you trying to set two different things to the same port

[light lily]

for nothing I just try several things to fix the problem

[light lily]

i have test with .bat and same problem too

[distant hearth]

TheIsland_WP?sessionname="myserver" -Mods=933099,930403,930404,939228 -nobattleye

[burnt harbor]

hello guys, i have a problem when i started the dedicated server it tell me this "Error! App '2430930' state is 0x226 after update job." what it mean ?? plz

[distant hearth]

i seem to rem someone else having the problem when they copied server files to another disk, it was becuase server didnt have write priveleges ,
did you try with a fresh install? allowing the exe through firewall if it has one active

[light lily]

yes
Fresh window server / Ark ascended and i have allowing for firewall ( i have test disable firewall too )

[distant hearth]

this issue came with the scorched earth update, they broke it on older windows server versions, i think it only works on 2019 onwards atm

[light lily]

same for window defender

window 2016 and 2022 no work?

for window 2022 the server start is just the prob of mods

[burnt harbor]

Do you know when this problem will be resolved and I will finally be able to play on my survival again?

[celest halo]

i dont they broke it, i think UE5 did palworld also no longer works on older window server version since there update last week and they use UE5 also

[distant hearth]

2022 shud work fine, just as a last idea try this, might not do anything -mods="928708,933099"
see if it does anything

[distant hearth]

ah , makes a change it not be wc fault hahaha

[light lily]

same message

[distant hearth]

no clue , i presume there aware of the issue, as for an eta on fix i dunno

[burnt harbor]

okkk thank

[distant hearth]

presume you tried deleting the mods folder , it seems like a permissions issue or port issue to me, server is on latest version ?v39.6
also check on battlemetrics website your server name an see if its running port 7777
if so forward that udp

depending how many servers you have , if they dont recognize port change command they default them , udp7777, then 7778 for next running at same time, 7779 etc

alot people have to use -port=xxxx to change the port asa uses

[pseudo latch]

Any US players looking for admin work hit me up. Need some1 to help cover the time difference

[distant hearth]

this is what my test server runs if i try to use ?port=20715
86.177.138.198:7777

clearly not recognizing the port command for what ever reason

[clever trail]

me again

does the ports you set have anything to do with cluster not showing?

[distant hearth]

no shudnt matter if both are forwarded correctly, by not showing what do you mean? also elaboarte a lil on how there running

[clever trail]

oky

So i have 2 asa maps Island and scorched both are running and i can join both no issues
Island uses port 7777 and scorched 7779

I've set the clusterid= & ClusterDirOverride= to the same value on both start.bat files and also created the ClusterDirOverride folder and also added the 7 upload/download params in the gus.ini but i cant see the other server in obilisk

windows dedicated on seperate machine

this is what my start.bat looks like

start servers\island\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="local testing island"?ServerAdminPassword=123987? -AllowSpeedLeveling -port=7777 -queryport=27015 -servergamelog -RCONEnabled -NoBattlEye -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=0837808248 -ClusterDirOverride="C:\asacluster\0837808248"

[distant hearth]

you shudnt make the folder for clusterdiroverride really tbh , let the server do it to what you set . but its not your issue imho.
if you arent seeing the other server in obby its a cluster id issue.
possibly error in command line so its not recognizing the cluster id

theres a ? mark at the end of line, that is used to start command , so its ignoring everything behind it, gimme a sec to rewrite

this bit here messed u up , ServerAdminPassword=123987?

start servers\island\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="local testing island"?ServerAdminPassword=123987 -port=7777 -servergamelog -RCONEnabled -NoBattlEye -clusterid=0837808248 -ClusterDirOverride="C:\asacluster\0837808248"

do the speedlevelling from ini , ?serveradminpassword can be done from ini too, but it has to be last or doesnt always work ,
-queryport= is not only wrong but not used in asa, shud be?queryport= if ase server , no transfer from filtering not needed with a cluster id set , servergamelog i dont think is used/needed but wasnt sure so left it
you enabled rcon but havent set a port for it , maybe that is done in your ini though, im not familiar with rcon atm ,
if u must do speed levelling from command put it before the serveradminpassword

commands start with ?
or -
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup has a list of them all an the correct way to type them

hope that helps an u understand my bad way of explaining

it was likely ignore everything behind that wrong placed ? as it was expecting another ? command

[clever trail]

Thanks but the admin pass was just a placeholder actual password is much different

I see oky but thank you very much going to try it now and will revert back in 5min

[celest halo]

ClusterDirOverride="C:\asacluster\0837808248 is going to make C:\asacluster\0837808248\0837808248 server auto makes a folder with the clusterid

[clever trail]

the numbers for clusterid is not wrong right?

[pale jetty]

i have a player thats lost their implant and no amount of wiping, red gun or overriding charecter is bringing it back. any sugggestiongs?

[distant hearth]

u can set the id to what ever you want , i use willzcl , i tested a load random names an numbers it was fine, if using a space in the name it needs quotations "willz cluster" example

it tends to ignore special charachters though so wudnt use any to be safe

[celest halo]

start servers\island\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="local testing island"?ServerAdminPassword=123987 -AllowSpeedLeveling -port=7777 -servergamelog -RCONEnabled -NoBattlEye -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=0837808248 -ClusterDirOverride="C:\asacluster" is what i would test with

[clever trail]

Will try with that is the one from @distant hearth does not work

[distant hearth]

out of curiosity why leave -notransferfromfiltering and i cant find any refernce to -allowspeedlevelling , not that it matters much as it tends to just ignore commands that are wrong, aslong as correct format is used

also how the hell do i make that text box, lol actually i shall google it

[celest halo]

saftey net just in case cluster id part messes up and you dont notice till someone brought things in from there private game

[wise kindle]

send me this magic as well

[distant hearth]

ah yea , smart man , as in this case the id wasnt set
edit allthough likely it wasnt working either lolz

[ripe oyster]

Hello, how can I change my settings so players don't lose everything after completing boss on SE? I lose everything each time including the element🫠

[wise kindle]

You tell them to put their stuff and element on their dinos before the fight ends.

[ripe oyster]

Oh ok, thanks!

[celest halo]

-allowspeedlevelling might not work in there i didnt check all of them lmao

[distant hearth]

@wise kindle ||like this ?||

fail lolz

[celest halo]

its 3 ` before and after the text

[distant hearth]

ah i just did it by highlighting the text with right click then press button for <>

[fallow patio]

I did a dino wipe and now babies aren't spawning does it take a while?

[distant hearth]

nvm its wrong

[wise kindle]

yes dis. I need to see if this works from my phone

[distant hearth]

its not highliting as a text box, just the whole line

[celest halo]

think that way only does 1 `

[wise kindle]

render and derender, wait 15 minutes. Best to not stand there and wait, go do other things. Or you will go mad.

[clever trail]

Tried your rewrite and still not showing so trying the one of stolenvw

[celest halo]

with just 1 ` and not 3 it makes multi line ones look wrong

[wise kindle]

ope, it is witchcraft then. I knew it.

[distant hearth]

yea i might got it wrong tbh, i copy pasted and had a couple pints

[fallow patio]

I've also been struggling to get breeding stats to change, even with changing the ini

[distant hearth]

'''lmao seems like but maybe this works'''

[wise kindle]

Get Beacon for breeding stat changes/adjustments. You will thank us later.

[celest halo]

` is same key as ~

[wise kindle]

A little more eye of newt or something

[distant hearth]

like this then lol

[distant hearth]

thx 🙂

who wud of known that asa making tilde key the new command box open in game wud help in discord hahaha
i dint even know what that key was called before

[wise kindle]

So how much eye of newt do I need to use again?

[celest halo]

import blah

def something():
  pass
```  can even have it add color if its a code lang lmao

[distant hearth]

3 presses of tilde key , before an after text

[wise kindle]

My god. Its full on satan worship now.

[wise kindle]

ohhhh

[distant hearth]

now your just showing all the magic hahaha

[charred dagger]

I'm still not able to use any of my console commands on scorched. Is anyone else having this issue?

[wise kindle]

I have come for your children

witchcraft I tell you

[celest halo]

import blah

def something():
  pass

color without the last 3 ` so it shows the code lmao

[distant hearth]

i prob forget by tomoz, but it sure makes looking at asa command lines neater so i try rem

[wise kindle]

This is ancient magic. I must be careful. bring me coffee

[celest halo]

change the py to what lang the code is writen with

[wise kindle]

ok ok I'll stop

[celest halo]

it should make the py <code name> green if it dont then there is not a auto color hightlight for that code lang

[distant hearth]

im hoping that stolens command line fix the mans clusterid issue, it has to be an id issue if cant see in obelisk i think, or has been for me when i was testing

[celest halo]

or you dont have the right abbreviation for the code lang

[distant hearth]

crazy what puters do, all i can remeber wa sthe old crap
print "hello world" type basic

[distant hearth]

i forgot to add, any ini change u make for breeding will only effect new babies and eggs in the world, all the old ones will hold the old settings

[clever trail]

nope still dont see the other one at obi

i mean if i can connect to them seperately then the ports are correct? so that means the issue is not port related?

[wise kindle]

wait, is the issue that you cant see your SE map?

Theres a visual glitch rn with that, if that is the case.

SE maps like to hide, repeated searching from in game will make them appear eventually. Sometimes relogging fixes it as well.

So, if its an SE map, it might not be your settings at all.

[short eagle]

good news is, a gigaraptor has sucessfully spawned on Scorched with the ini change now.

bad news is. the nest is nowhere to be seen.

[wise kindle]

I actually opened a bug with WC on this.

[celest halo]

it dont show in the oblisc to transfer to

[wise kindle]

yep thats the bug. Spam search with server name to verify its not the bug.

[celest halo]

they said they could connect to both maps doing direct login

[clever trail]

i even tried by turning off firewall and still nothing

[wise kindle]

I see it with my SE maps all the time. I just search with the map name in the search bar and keep hitting refresh till it pops up. Known issue with SE maps atm.

[clever trail]

I'm hosting in South Africa and the server browser is broken so people connect with the direct connect. But i mean the obi server viewer should not have the issue?

[wise kindle]

Yeah I know, its a bug. Its a visual bug.

I'm saying do a name search to verify you arent banging your head against a wall for nothing lol.

Cuz god knows I did.

[clever trail]

Oky going to try it now thank yiu

[short eagle]

yeah, looked around, no nest. Seems there's an additional line needed somewhere for the nest to spawn with the gigaraptor

[wise kindle]

If its not it, its not too much time wasted trying anyway.

[clever trail]

But then if i log in to SE and go to obi my island map is also not there so the name thing is limited to se?

[wise kindle]

no, it takes time for it to spawn and not every gigantoraptor spawns with a nest.

[charred dagger]

Ive hard reset my console, Ive restarted the server, Ive made sure its up to date, I changed the password in both the general page, and in the ini files to make sure they match. What else is there to do?

[clever trail]

nope still nothing

[candid star]

hm

[wise kindle]

whelp, worth knowing anyway. Be sure to double check that when you are verifying. It is an annoying bug.

[clever trail]

Will keep in mind thank you

[jade folio]

I have never gotten any of these cosmetics to work except the dear Jane skins. I can’t even get the clear windows to work on the server but they work in single player

[wise kindle]

if its a pvp map, the glass one is blocked by the game there. Works on pve tho.

[jade folio]

Yes my server is set up as PVP so I can murder my unwanted tames. I really want to fancy hats and other fun stuff

[alpine quail]

Yeah, my players are doing that now. They did gamma-beta and same thing. But, at least there’s a solution! Ty!

[wise kindle]

well that one wont ever work there, just so you know

[distant hearth]

fast as i know if u add the line to gus.ini it will make it default to using the official whitelist for cosmetics

CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL"
ive not tested but others have said, if u do
CosmeticWhitelistOverride=modid,modid,modid,modid etc etc
then it will allow you to set a custom list with all the cosmetic mods id's you want activated inplace of modid above

[jade folio]

Awww. I always wonder what you enter for URL ok so add modid after the override plus to the -mod list. I’ll try that. Thanks

[distant hearth]

cosmetics do not go in -mods= far as i know there just all activated server side if u do the ovveride in ini

you can also enter a path to a raw http url instead of "url" , witha list of the cosmetic mod ids u want active, that allows you to change it dynamically, but that is beyond my skills

[sick widget]

Can anyone help me. Im on my non dedicated server and my body glitched through the map so I tried to go into ghost mode to get it but it won’t activate. Most admin commands aren’t working. I put in the password and the clouds and fog will go away but that’s it

[distant hearth]

not sure but you might need to do

cheat ghost```

[short eagle]

heads-up if you do try this, you're going to have to bring over a gigaraptor from the island anyways, because it won't spawn with a nest. 😦 not sure why not either

[sick widget]

Yea I’ve been trying that and nothing is happening

[distant hearth]

just to double check you have the mod activated for s.e map ? i presume it wont spawn without

[short eagle]

I checked to see if there was a seperate menu for activation per map, and unless I'm incredibly blind, there isn't.

[golden nest]

Is anyone else having issues with their survivor not transfering from the island to scorched earth?

[distant hearth]

kk, might be it just wont work , with it being a mod, plus anything with nests has never worked as an added spawn code on ase , the creature apperas but nests dont(wyverns, dino knickers, rock drakes) when ive tried before

[short eagle]

ah 🥲 well there's the alternative taming method at least. I'll just have to power-level one I already have that way I can get all the bonus levels

[distant hearth]

it might be differnt in asa , im sure someone else said they got it working, soo, might be worth leave the code in, might randomly find nest one day

[spice tendon]

My gigantoraptors spawn with nests on SE

[short eagle]

👀 how did you do it?

[spice tendon]

Let me copy the code real fast

[spice tendon]

Add this to the top section of game.ini

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesOasis_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gigantoraptor",EntryWeight=0.104846154,NPCsToSpawn=("/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=65,Y=-108,Z=0),(X=-46,Y=-550,Z=0),(X=-587,Y=-437,Z=0),(X=-418,Y=559,Z=0),(X=-576,Y=-70,Z=0)),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

[short eagle]

Aight, will do

[distant hearth]

top section is misleading, it just needs to be under this header in game.ini
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

asa added another header to game ini , so chucking it at bottom as wud in ase no longer worked

[short eagle]

yeh it's in the top one

[sick widget]

Can anyone help me. Im on my unofficial server and admin commands aren’t working I’ve tried googling it and I can’t figure it out

[distant hearth]

you will need to have an admin password set an then use this in console command box

cheat whatevercheatyouneed```
i tend to use cheat gcm fitst so i know the password command worked

[sick widget]

Yea I’ve tried that I just made the password my name so I know I’m typing it in right but I still can’t get it to work

[spice tendon]

Yes. The code is specifically for SE

[distant hearth]

if your on console , make sure adminpassword doesnt have capital letters in it, consoles seem struggle with capitals

[wise kindle]

how do you know its not working? Did you try

Cheat GCM

and see if the white symbol appears in the lower right of your screen

[spice tendon]

Just replace the creature path with the theri path

As well as region

Yes and no. You’d have to change the spawn entry location, change the file path to the theri and either remove the coord section or change the coords to the proper location.

[sick widget]

I tried that and I’ve tried cheat fly neither seem to work

[wise kindle]

so you typed in EXACTLY

enablecheats

With your password directly after? Correctly capitalized and such?

like enablecheats mypassword

no spaces in enablecheats

no spaces in your password

[sick widget]

Yes my password is hutch so I typed enablecheats hutch just like that and then cheat fly and nothing is happening

I also tried kill and ghost

[wise kindle]

What platform are you on?

[sick widget]

Xbox

[wise kindle]

so you are typing this with the menu and then back buttons to get to the correct field?

or are you using a keyboard?

[sick widget]

Yea pause and select brings up the admin command UI. No a controller

I did the volumetric clouds and fog and both of those worked but nothing else

[wise kindle]

and you are positive that you have this password set on your server under the admin password section?

Do you have a server password set?

[sick widget]

Yea I’ve checked and restarted it a few times. And usually at least on console is you put in the password it shows a star by your name but it doesn’t

Yea I have a server password

[wise kindle]

change the password to something else and try that, cuz I have no idea. If you are entering it correctly, i dont know why it would not work.

You are fully stopping the map, making changes, hitting the SAVE button and then restarting the server. Correct?

[sick widget]

Yea I’ve tried restarting it as well as shutting it off and saving and turning it back on I’m not really sure what else to try

[wise kindle]

no i mean, you must do this everytime. If you try to save while its running you can seriously mess up your map.

To change settings:

shutdown
wait 5 minutes
make changes
SAVE
start the map back up

Never make changes while its running.

With this in mind, I would shutdown and change the password to something else and try again.

There are more reports of console players unable to use cheats commands even in singleplayer.

[nimble talon]

Is the -EasterColors flag not working anymore?

[teal shell]

im having problems setting up a cluster island and se any ideas why when i transfer my i have to make a new guy thanks

[viral island]

My server was working fine, but now my brother is unable to 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

Ideas?

[distant hearth]

have your brother restart his system see if the game takes any updates

[distant hearth]

if you 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"

[viral island]

We've been dealing with this for several days. He has restarted his game and his PC several times. He validated is game files as well

[distant hearth]

double checy your port forwarding, asa uses the one udp port udp7777 by default, some routers auto update an delete the forwarding in them

[viral island]

Ive checked my ports like 20 times. Its all good

[distant hearth]

a test on if port is good , have someone else try join

often if local host can join but no one else it is a port issue

helps narrow down , server issue or , player joining issue

[viral island]

I dont know anyone else that owns the game

[distant hearth]

ase or asa?

[viral island]

asa

[distant hearth]

i can try join if u dm me the info
or post it here if u dont mind sharing it

[viral island]

Its modded, so you may need to download the mods

[distant hearth]

ah crap , how many ? depending on the amount an what they are i might be ok

[viral island]

42 total. Mostly creature/dino mods, but some structure and QoL mods as well.

[distant hearth]

ah , yea i got no chance get that many sry, bad internet

[viral island]

all good

[distant hearth]

another thing to do , check the server name on battlemetrics website, an see what actual port its running on

[viral island]

Ya I've checked battlemetrics and everything looked correct

[distant hearth]

likely client side issue , but id try find someone else to test to be sure, its alot mods to be running

[teal shell]

thanks allot creating a cluster folder and setting custom path worked thanks much

[low dew]

@viral island exactly what error pops up time out or no session found or somthing like that

if he gets a no session found his internet is not good enough to play

[viral island]

time out

[low dew]

did you post your bat file yet just change your pw and admin pw and ip to somthing rando

@viral island

[north forge]

how do i apply different configuriations per map in my servercluster?
let's say i want higher foodconsumption on map1 and lower on map2?

[viral island]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?listen?SessionName=SpartanServerScorch?ServerPassword=temp123?Port=7777?Queryport=27015?ServerAdminPassword=temp123? -WinLiveMaxPlayers=70 -nobattleye -mods=942024,975282,935946,966352,974472,981989,929299,900062,927131,912902,926956,914844,916922,908148,926259,955932,947835,939764,947709,944994,935408,950891,946694,931661,973309,933785,929243,959493,929902,941697,981339,944734,969855,961980,929912,929420,928548,930115,939874,967842,937436,928824

[distant hearth]

?listen not needed or used on asa server,?queryport=27015 not needed , its steam port asa runs on epic eos, ?port=7777 may or may not work, they default to 7777 anyway, -port=7777 always works for changing port on asa afaik, serveradminpassword has a ? at the end, it shud not be there , as thats trying to start an new command line
ark server uses
? or - as the start of its commands

[viral island]

everything there is just from the wiki and has worked for me in the past

[distant hearth]

if you run them out of seprate folders (best way imo) then just change the indvidual ini files for each map

[north forge]

hmm yeah I figured,

[distant hearth]

if you run from same folder with differnt bats for one exe , then u will have to add the config changes via the start batch file command line, ud have use the wiki to try work those out, i only do it via ini so not sure on each individual commandl in batch file method

[distant hearth]

the servers update alot, it might work before an not now, i can only tell you what i know from a lot testing an getting mine to work

[grim rock]

Anyone know how I can stop the GameUserSettings.ini file to stop resetting when I start up my ASA server? I am not making any mistakes when editing the file
Is there a startup command that does it or something?

[viral island]

i'll update and test when I get the chance

[distant hearth]

no command i knoq of, be sure to stop the server, make the changes , then save the changes, then restart the server when doing ini edits

[grim rock]

Thank you, I wasn't stopping it first

[distant hearth]

np, if there not stopped first for some reason they rewrite the ini with the one its running with upon shutdown or just dont accept the changes or some ark magic

[scenic pivot]

can i host a dedicated server for me and my friend to play on my local pc

or do i have to pay for one

notwithstanding performance issues

[light lily]

For my problem
I have literaly test on my pc and i have same error ^^

[distant hearth]

presumin gu have a half decent interner, pc an a bit time to learn how, yea sure you can ,

[scenic pivot]

it says NAT type needs to be open. is that on my PC or on my LAN?

like do I need to configure that in windows, or in my router?

[distant hearth]

asa dedicated servers need the udp port its using open , default is 7777
through firewall/windows defender, any antivirus you might happen to use and the router

[scenic pivot]

alright, udp 7777 needs to be forwarded

my windows firewall is already open

[distant hearth]

when u setup the server and ran it first time , windowsdefender prolly asked if u wanted to allow it arkascendedserver.exe, click yes

im not good with network stuff, but that what i do an ive gotten mutiple servers working on mutiple machines now when testing

[scenic pivot]

a command prompt window popped up when I launched the dedicated server. it should be running now, right?

[scenic pivot]

yeah i did that

do I need to run the dedicated server through steamcmd or through ark on steam

[distant hearth]

depending on how the batch file is set, you get a windows command prompt then it shud run the server, that will open a window with loads a text, then bottom left will say tickingloop when its running with a green dot to the left

[scenic pivot]

the command prompt window is open, now steam thinks Ark is running, and I can't launch ark to play

[distant hearth]

stmcmd is prefered but it is possible with steam dedicated server tool

[scenic pivot]

I made a world and clicked "Run dedicated server"

[distant hearth]

im gonna dm u a guide im working on for setting up stm cmd server , it might help
just be aware the server needs uptop16gb ram an couple cpu cores to run well.
to play game on same machine u will need 32gb ram

[scenic pivot]

it needs 32gb ram to run even with only two players?

[distant hearth]

its prob better now , it migh run the server an game on 16gb , but i havent tried

the servers do use a bit less now, like 8-10gb for low player count

its easy enough to set one up an try so might aswell give it a go id say

[tawdry rain]

Does anyone know if beacon works for ASA yet?

[olive talon]

Yes, it does.

[distant hearth]

it sure does, alot settings same as ase, some new ones are added , some old ones dont work, but it still as awesome as ever for server setup

[tawdry rain]

Awesome. I tried using it for our first server and it seemed like alot of changes didn't stick, had to do it the old fashioned way lol

[nimble talon]

Anyone know the settings to change to make the wyvern need only 1 imprint? and not die, had one die at 135, trying to not have to get milk for em

[tawdry rain]

Do you remember which settings don't work by chance?

[distant hearth]

not off the top my head, very few plus they update alot so hard keep track , i know you cudnt do level overrides but that might have changed now s.e is out ]

[tawdry rain]

That's not too terrible

[distant hearth]

beacon ark app/program is great for getting the breeding,maturing/imprinting settings right
imprint settings wont effect if they die or not from being fed

[nimble talon]

Ah, not sure I've ever heard of that

[wise kindle]

Its perfect for breeding stat configuration. I wont use anything else.

[wise kindle]

Info is pinned in this channel

[distant hearth]

i think theres a pinned comment in this channel with download link, if not google it,
free version does a hell of alot
i reccomend it , used the paid for years

[nimble talon]

How do you change any settings for Wyverns though? It doesn't show them at all in the list, doesn't even show the map SE on there

Oh I figured it out

[daring prairie]

How do you increase structure limit for building ?

[distant hearth]

wyverns are just baby dino so they share same setting as any other, u just have to change the map i think to make them show in the dino list

[distant hearth]

gus .ini under header [serversettings] look for this line
NewMaxStructuresInRange=2600
bigger number = more structures

[daring prairie]

That will work out on server performance right ? So not increase it to like 10000 or something ?

[distant hearth]

well i mean bigger structures will obv impact the server, the code itself wont, just if people build bigger .
the number i gave is the old ase one i used so its already prob double asa number

i must picked that number for a reason, not that i can rem why lmao, possibly i found going higher made server laggy, but most were nitrado servers so they had issues with rendering buildings anyway

[daring prairie]

Okay. I don’t want to go crazy with it, but just a little increase for the players on the server if they want to build a nice house. Thanks for the info 🙂

[distant hearth]

id use that number i gave then , we had some pretty big bases on ase that dint cause any crash or player desync issues, the really big ones wud take a sec or so to load in

@daring prairie
really sry i gave u the old old command lmao , it was replaced with this one ,
TheMaxStructuresInRange=xxxx

i had it set to 7000
but i do rem that server i made a replica of warrick castle in fjordur snow biome it was huge an wud take upto 30 secs to render fully .

go with like 3500 an u shud be good

[daring prairie]

All good. It’s a thing I want to do tomorrow and not tonight 😅

But thanks again I will see if I can find it Tomorrow.

Don’t have to say sorry. You are a great help for players like me 🙂

[distant hearth]

if the line isnt there , you can add it in , i can never rembver the defaults off top my head loz and your welcome, i just pass on what everyone in here has help me with over years of playing ark 🙂

[peak sapphire]

Anyone else have a weird structure limit on their servers? Mines set to 10500 on SE yet the number shown in the extended HUD when placing structures is 17K+

[lilac cairn]

Does exclusive join work for asa

[stark nest]

Does anyone know where i can get the INI code to mkae everything Fiber? I have it mostly fiber but it wont let me make it 100% fiber on a new server for my friends and I to play on for fun. This is for ASA.

[uncut geode]

Hey is there someone that know why every days at the daily restart my SE is stuck in a restart loop pls ?

[low dew]

@uncut geodecuz you have nitrado and they suck thats pretty much sums it up

nitrado is so bad that i rented a farmsimulator 22 server from them and it was stuck in a restart loop for over 30 days before they were able to fix it

[uncut geode]

@low dew lol you again answering me again like 24h didnt pass damn thanks tho big boy

[wise kindle]

Try rolling back to the save file before this started happening.

[low dew]

@uncut geode did you ask the same question 24 hours ago

[uncut geode]

the things is that i know rolling back will fix it

but man i need to see where the problem come from because i have player on my pvp server imagine losing 4h of progress every signle day

[ashen stag]

I need help my friend is on pc and I'm on ps5 but he can't join me when I make a non dedicated and I can't join him when we both make worlds they don't show up in the non dedicated section of of join games what to do ?

[low dew]

ill see you same place same time 24 hours from now to give you the same answer lol

its probably nothing you did to cause it its just nitrado

[uncut geode]

ik man ik

[low dew]

how much do you pay for your server if you dont mind me asking

[wise kindle]

So, i guess my breath is wasted. Gl.

[low dew]

@uncut geode also one more question do you have and dino mods

[uncut geode]

i thinks so because im pretty good at coding, doing settings, fixing issue with my server but i have also an island with the exact same mod and settings like exactly the same but cant seems to finds where this come from

might have to rent another server move everythings then close this one

[low dew]

there was a couple dino mods that were causing a bunch of issues for servers

[uncut geode]

yes but only like 2

[verbal hound]

can someone who is knowegdeable with cross pplay on non dedicated servers please answer macrophaes question?

[low dew]

@verbal hound no crossplay for non dedicated

[verbal hound]

okay.

[uncut geode]

hes right

[wise kindle]

Non dedicated is not crossplatform. You need to play on official, unofficial, rent your own unofficial or put up your own selfhosted unofficial map.

[ashen stag]

So I got to pay money?

[low dew]

@ashen stag no you can join any unofficial server

[wise kindle]

If you want to go the rental route yea.

[verbal hound]

i tried to tell him to host his own on a pc that he owns for such occasions.

[ashen stag]

But I just want to play with my friend

[scenic pivot]

how do I add a mod to ASE dedicated server

[low dew]

some server hosts might have what you want as far as gameplay and mods @ashen stag

[ashen stag]

Yh I'll just pass up the offer I got my awnser

[wise kindle]

Just pick an unofficial map and play.

[low dew]

only thing one really has to worry about playing on any server is it disapearing after 24 hours lol

[wise kindle]

Theres 10,000 to choose from

[verbal hound]

just think of a self hosted server as a non dedicated server, just turn it off whenever youre done.

[ashen stag]

Yh but then you gotta worry about wipes pvp and other stuff

It's not a fun experience for player like me and my friends no more

[wise kindle]

Join pve then

[low dew]

there are pve only servers or theres pve servers that host like pvp events you can opt in or out of

every host is different

[wise kindle]

Just find one you like and play there.

[ashen stag]

I'll try

[verbal hound]

thats the way pvp should be anyway it should be mutual..

[low dew]

i run a war system that has to be agreed apon by both parties for pvp

[verbal hound]

cool.

[low dew]

i played official once for 7 days way back in early ase

never again

i rather get hit by a car

[verbal hound]

i still play it, but i play pve now, not pvp anymore.

[wise kindle]

Played pvp for over 4 years. It gets old.

[verbal hound]

yep, it does.

okay ty guys for helping macro, i'll leave you guys to your sever setup discussions.

[scenic pivot]

what does host non-dedicated session do?

[wise kindle]

Its a really crappy way to host a very lite server session with more bugs and limitations than i can list lol.

[serene granite]

Anyone's Server keep crashing on 39.6 ?

[scenic pivot]

would it work to just play with a friend

[wise kindle]

Depending on the phases of the moon… maybe. Its not consistent. At all.

[wise kindle]

Today yeah. No idea whats causing it.

[scenic pivot]

should I just run a dedicated server on the same machine I am playing on?

[lilac cairn]

Can we use passwords with clusters

[scenic pivot]

how does someone connect to a non-dedicated server I'm hosting?

[north forge]

are you doing it this way?

[loud comet]

so many mods I wish carried over to ASA, like homing pigeon

[lunar cloud]

yes

[viral shadow]

do weather commands on SE not work?

ive tried cheat CE start_superheat but it does nothing, same when i try to stop and start the other storm commands too

[bleak ivy]

I tried to use them and they didn't work either wonder if they are changed/disabled for ASA.

[wise kindle]

They have a huge spin up time. Like it seems to take 5-10 mins for the storm to start, so sometimes it looks like they dont work. Its usually just taking a while to get started.

[bleak ivy]

thought in ASE it was instant start when using it.

guess I didn't play scorched much tho

[rose frigate]

anyone else with ASA servers having issues with console players not being able to chat in cross platform servers?

[bleak ivy]

they have a weird filter xbox more so then playstation I believe

[rose frigate]

xbox is the one we're having issues with. not sure about ps.

the chat box isn't even visible on xbox.

[bleak ivy]

not sure on that, just know that xbox has a horrible filter tied to it.

[rose frigate]

wouldn't know. lol

[fickle turret]

you need at least 24gb or ram or more to host a server and play the game at the same time.

[short eagle]

I've gotten so many false alarms with lightning storms from my jerboa 😔

[wise kindle]

Ok i glad im not the only one. I cant tell what weather is coming now.

[low dew]

@fickle turret thats not true with non dedi due to the fact the teathering prevents to much resources being used

@scenic pivot you invite them from your friends list non dedicated has no cross play though so your restricted to play with those of what ever device your playing on

[tidal zephyr]

yeah mine hasn't been able to stay up for more than like a minute ever since friday, the server keeps saying its installing updates

[west wigeon]

Not a particular setup question, but I didn’t really know where else to ask. I have Ascended on my PC, but recently got a Switch and decided to also invest in Evolved on it with the Ultimate edition, so I can play Ark on the go. According to the Ultimate edition, Genesis Part 2 is coming in late May. However, I know efforts have been shifted to be focused on Ascended. Does anyone know if Switch will still be getting Part 2? I haven’t seen anything about it in community crunches, but seeing as I just got my Switch, I haven’t necessarily been on the lookout for notifications about the Switch, so I easily could’ve missed it. Thanks in advance for any insight!

[wise kindle]

Best to ask this in the Ark Switch discord

[west wigeon]

I didn’t know that was a thing! Thank you!

[outer stream]

Can someone help my friend haveing trouble opening the bat file to run the ark server any suggestions how to fix it?

[fickle turret]

how are you going to say not true when I host my own. my ram usage is around 17-20gb. for game and server on the same pc.

[fickle turret]

did you figure it out ?

[humble thicket]

anyone know how to fix an issue on xbox series s wherein fire/torch lights and drop beams not showing?

[outer stream]

it the ram im thinking he got 8 gb lol need more so we going to get hem like 16 or 24 gb

[low dew]

@fickle turret because consoles only have 16 gb of ram and have to use non dedicated so it wouldent be true

other wise they wouldent be able to host non dedis

if you host a dedicated and played on the same computer then you are correct the dedicated would use up at least 12gb plus what you would use playing on the same pc

[fickle turret]

im talking about pc self hosted

idk anything about consoles, just sharing my experience. by hosting 2 servers at the same time plus my game to transfer arks, im at 31gb of ram lol

[low dew]

@fickle turret i went back and read i i swear you said non dedicated not dedicated thats what i was getting at

im not crazy lol

[outer stream]

lol

[humble thicket]

anyone know how to fix an issue on xbox series s wherein fire/torch lights and drop beams not showing?

[lunar cloud]

If you increase Virtual Memory on your OS (windows and linux works too) , then Ark will use virtual memory and server will run fine. Virtual memory I/O is not super high for running ark servers and is perfect. I run 64GB as VRam and use a tiny cloud server to host my entire cluster

[open heart]

Is the clean glass wall skin not working on Scorched Earth? The tic tac toe table, party lights, and weapon rack skins still work but I cant seem to gt the clear glass skin to work at all

[stark fiber]

hey guys, is it possible to upload my character on the island, then switch my nitrado server to scorched earth and download there?

[peak sapphire]

Back up your Island save through FTP first. You shouldn’t need to upload your character if on same server - this was the case with ASE on Nitrado.

[stark fiber]

ah, i see. thanks man, will try

[peak sapphire]

As long as you back up your save, you can try just changing the map first. Worth a shot. I plan on doing same when Center comes out.

[silver glen]

Is there a setting to allow building outside the normal range on a platform saddle?

[daring prairie]

Nitrado Server ?

If yes there is a setting in general called allow platform saddle MultiFloors and Plaftform Saddle Modifier

anyone aware of a ASA plugin/mod that changes the ownership of certain in-game structures from the person that placed them to a generic "admin" or "unowned" structure?

Is there a way to add the no cloud/fog command to server instead of user client?

[dusk patio]

does anybody know how to remove tether distance? there seems not to be a slider for it anymore nor a setting?

[olive talon]

Can't anymore, #patch-notes message

[rose frigate]

can i get the list of crossplay launch arguments? my server is not showing up in xbox server list. xbox can only join via IP through console command.

[dusk patio]

why did they choose to remove it?

[olive talon]

I do not know.

[celest halo]

Default is full crossplay on a ASA dedicated server

[frail trout]

Anyone know why Dino’s appear at lvl 1 even some imprinted Dino’s, but when you relog they go back to their original lvl?

[distant hearth]

-ServerPlatforms=PC+XSX+PS5+ WINGDK
however it defaults to all, if it jsut one player on xbox with the issue, have them check there filters, top shud be set to all, not pve or pvp. make sure there ticking player only servers too

[distant hearth]

some sort bug atm

[distant hearth]

i think theres a mod for it, but i can rem the name sorry have to search it

[wise kindle]

I'm seeing this more and more

[dapper igloo]

Does anyone know where I can find a guide on how to upgrade Evolved ini files to Ascended ini?

Something that covers all the new items, dinos, base stack sizes, etc. as well as anything that is no longer needed in the inis?

[distant hearth]

ark beacon app is great for this, free version does hell of alot

[dapper igloo]

I own the pro but used custom config for a good amount of ini work due to how beacon handled some of it.

[distant hearth]

yea i tend to hit export and pickout the lines i want , i had the ase version years, upfraded to asa version coz well it earned it lol

[dapper igloo]

I also don't have Ascended yet and don't know what items are or stack like. I'll be getting that sweat deal from steam due to buying ase for free during fjordur.

[distant hearth]

the wiki is your other resours but tbh its still not fully populated with what doesnt work in asa
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[distant hearth]

most of asa is the same tbh

[dapper igloo]

I'll take a look and hope someone gets the idea to make a full and updated guide.

[distant hearth]

ecept the server command line if self host, they changed a number things in that

[dapper igloo]

I do hope beacon handles at least that part.

[wise kindle]

You just have to buy the Asc version of Beacon and it converts your file. Its pretty nice.

[distant hearth]

it does not, atleats not properly last i checked

[dapper igloo]

Does Beacon have a second thing that needs to be purchased now?

[wise kindle]

Most of the stuff is the same like stacking etc.

[distant hearth]

any managers ive seen are not correct yet though, they work but have un needed stuff or some bits wrong

[wise kindle]

If you want Beacon pro for Asc it is an annual fee now. But well worth imo.

The Pro version adds the breeding and other tabs.

[distant hearth]

yea asa beacon has a yearly fee, its super cheap though iirc

[wise kindle]

For what it saves me in finding that missing quotation mark, Its well worth lol

[distant hearth]

its worth it just for knowing things like the generator config lines tbh

[wise kindle]

I always miss a quote somewhere

yeah he does an excellent job of adding all the new settings that we havent even heard of yet

[distant hearth]

fucking 3 generators in a range joke, i have mine unlimited haha

[dapper igloo]

To organize via spelling. It's all alphabetical for me.

[wise kindle]

I think mine is at 6, cuz if they need more than 6... the heck are they doing.

[dapper igloo]

I had my generators stacked to 5 I believe.

A nice number.

[wise kindle]

They keep adding settings too. I cant keep up. Beacon has saved my booty many times.

[dapper igloo]

Oof

[distant hearth]

i just set the range to 1 , becuase 1 foundation is bigge rthan that its unlimited

[wise kindle]

you got that setting to work?

[dapper igloo]

I obviously didn't understand the joke.

[wise kindle]

Nah theres a setting that limits the number of gennies you can place down in an area now.

Default is 3, which is crazy low for a full base

[dapper igloo]

Here I was thinking it was stack sizes in an inventory panel.

[wise kindle]

There is also a range setting but mine didnt work on initial testing, maybe now it does.

[jaunty vortex]

I think it is a bug. I tamed a gigantoraptor yesterday where the baby was a 40 and the parent was a 1

[wise kindle]

Same I'm seeing wilds and tamed ones temp revert to level 1. Podding and unpodding fixes it.

It appears to be just visual, at least for the tamed ones.

Some of the wilds tho, seem legit lvl 1s when they are tamed.

[distant hearth]

yea worked fine for me, the range is the distance it checks for the generator in radius, so setting it to 1 means it checks like 1cm or w.e , becuase 1 foundayion is bigger than that you can plonk down many as want

[wise kindle]

WHELP I misread that setting completely.

[distant hearth]

me too first time lol, i had a bit playjng around to figure it out lmao

[wise kindle]

I swear they do this on purpose lol.

[dapper igloo]

What maps are currently available in Ascended?

[distant hearth]

official , island an scorched,mod maps theres paid version svartalfhiem , free version plus a handfull others, think svart is most complete paid version

[wise kindle]

Just TheIsland and Scorched Earth, as well as about half a dozen mod maps. The mod maps are not finished tho, so those will have continuous updates for quite a while.

[serene agate]

Krazy cosmetics isn't working on my dedicated server. Anyone know a fix?

[dapper igloo]

Anything like Crystal Isles for free?

[distant hearth]

dont think so atm but obv that map coming eventually.

[dapper igloo]

Oof.

Maybe, it'll be a while more before I play.

[distant hearth]

i have only really checked out svart, its a good map imo for pve

[dapper igloo]

Is it like fjordur?

[distant hearth]

no , not imo

its has like dwarven vibes but fjordur way differnt

[dapper igloo]

Crystal and Fjordur are the 2 I'd want to start on.

[distant hearth]

long ass wait for you then lolz

[dapper igloo]

Easy to get heafty dinos. Yeah.

[wise kindle]

Crystal was an xp farm lol. Beached tusos you could just pike to death as a level 1.

[distant hearth]

i prob have least play time on that map, wasnt a fan

[wise kindle]

We just went there on official to level and get easy wyverns then left for rag and then aberration.

[dapper igloo]

I always enjoyed the unofficial server I was on. It removed a good chunk of survival and replaced it with building and catching fun. I made my ini based on the unofficial.

Which made using crystal as an exp farm unnecessary. I loved my otters.

[last moon]

Does ASA have a feature to help with not losing a survivor if there is a crash and roll back to when the survivor was transferred to the map? The SE map seems to be crashing a lot on Nitrado.

[last moon]

Valguero had some easy Ice Wyvern eggs to swipe.

[wise kindle]

Not atm.

[last moon]

Ok, I wasn't sure. Thanks. ASE had something that they ended up incorporating sometime during Gen 1 or Gen 2 I think that helped with not losing your survivor after transferring, but I guess it is not in ASA yet.

[ashen nebula]

@distant hearth hey I chatted with you a few nights ago regarding setting up my scorched earth server and clustering it with my current island server. Are you free to give me a hand with that by any chance?

Or is anyone to free to give me a hand with setting up my scorched earth server and clustering it with my existing island server?

[humble thicket]

Anyone know why my decay timers are not showing and why the offline prevention is not showing either? i checked my codes and everything seems to be fine, its also not showing who owns the structures, it was fine yesterday but this morning the servers restarted and rollbacked and now none of that is showing but everything in my codes seem to be fine

[spice tendon]

Anyone know how the “magical unicorn” mod works? Is there a skin to craft? Spawn in?

[wise kindle]

If you figure it out let us know lol.

[stable bobcat]

Is the foliage respawning on SE still an issue or resolved? We still have it and I want to make sure we didnt missing a setting/new dashboard option

[wise kindle]

Nah its still a bug

[silent birch]

Anyone having an issue enabling item and creature download on clusters?

[dry fjord]

Are there any mods that allow all dinos to spawn on scorched earth? or how can I set that myself?

[bleak ivy]

isn't that a custom cosmetic? the menu next to folder view @wise kindle

[wise kindle]

Idk cuz I couldnt get it to give me a skin.

[bleak ivy]

I see both of them. make sure your server isn't blocking them.

[wise kindle]

oh maybe its busted on sp

[bleak ivy]

it works for me on SP too, make sure it downloaded correctly (try deleting and reinstalling it)

[wise kindle]

oh might be. I might try again someday. Its not too high on my pri list. I just want my maps to stop storm crashing lol.

[north valve]

Can someone help me set up cluster for my dedicated servers please?

[bleak ivy]

just updated mine, its broken

I'll try restarting my game, sometimes that fixes it.
yeah, restarting fixed it.

[low dew]

@north valve google has guides

when you run into issues after set up come back

[north valve]

@low dew Google finds nothing

Except 1 video from an Australian guy that makes no sense

[low dew]

skarvig?

do you have the servers set up and running currently thats the hardest part clustering is the easy part

@north valve

[north valve]

Yea I have the island and scorched earth set up separately

[low dew]

ok make a 3rd folder somewhere for the 2 servers to communicate and save in

call it what ever you want then in the bat files for your servers add this -clusterID=xxxxx -ClusterDirOverride="C:\Example\Location"

obviously configure it to how you want

cluster id and folder must be the same for both and make sure you got all the downloads and uploads in your game user setting set to false and notributedownloads set to false

[north valve]

Ok I have C:\ArkServers\Clusters

[low dew]

just do the rest of what i put and your cluster should function as in tended

[north valve]

oh its that easy?

[low dew]

yes

[north valve]

thanks! Ill give it a try

[low dew]

if you run into trouble let me know you can also dm me a copy of your bat file to verify it

if you want

[north valve]

@low dew C:\ArkServers\Clusters\Kenzors Cluster is empty after starting both servers, thats normal ?

[low dew]

yes

@north valve it will only populate once you transfer from one server to the next

[north valve]

ok i'll try to actually transfer from one to the other

[low dew]

make sure you have a back up of your save before you transfer if you using your main character

[north valve]

@low dew is it safe to shut down the sever once the character is uploaded? or leave it running until character is downloaded in new map?

[low dew]

you dont upload or download anything you just straight transfer from one to the other

with all your stuff in your inventory intact

[north valve]

oh

[low dew]

you should seen a button that says travel to another ark or server

[north valve]

ah in that case I wont do it yet as I want to keep my SE character, Island one i dont care about

[low dew]

then take a back up of se

and go from se to the island

it will override your the island one as there can be only one character

[north valve]

ok do you know where the character file location is?

[low dew]

it will be all intertwined with the saved arks file

under what ever map file is running just zip the map file up

[north valve]

so just backup the whole folder

[low dew]

so the file in saved ark for example theisland would be where all the info for the server saves is

world info player info ect

[north valve]

right

guess I cant transfer dinos?

[low dew]

zip the entire thing up there you go you backed it up

sure you can i use crypods and keep em in my inventory

[north valve]

ahh!

[low dew]

you can still upload and download but crypods is easier since when you spawn at the bed on transfer with your stuff your dinos are already on you rather then having to go download them at the obi

[north valve]

where is the button to travel to another ark?

[low dew]

when you interact with the obi it sould be there

[north valve]

@low dew awesome, button is there and the server shows up, I didnt actually transfer yet since we've got some other people playing on SE as well. But 1 last question, say I take my SE character and go to a mod map, then back to SE again do I have to admin cheat my SE structures/dinos back to myself?

[distant hearth]

sry i just finnished work an bout cook tea, what issue are you having ? theres a guide in pinned posts i linked , bee tagged it , just add the -clusterid ="xxxx" and clusterdiroverride="xxxx" on both servers, must be the same id for both an bothe diroverirde must point to same location ,
ie
-clusterid="mycluster" -clusterdiroverride="C:\mycluster"

[dapper igloo]

Are all maps from E going to be free on A?

[distant hearth]

yea eventually, there might be some new maps that are paid dlc too

[low dew]

@north valve no as long as all your servers have all the same mods

[obsidian sandal]

Anyone know of any mods/programs that give a working cross server chat yet? Bonus if it logs all chat to discord.

[icy stone]

Anyone know if Asa pve structure decay timers are bugged. I’ve tried like 4 times to get the structures to double. Wood 16 days, metal 30 days etc.

For a nitrado server

[elder fox]

Anyone else having repeated crashes today?

[obsidian sandal]

been running a server since day 1 and the decay timers have always reset every time the server was restarted. it's been a thing for a while @icy stone

[icy stone]

I’ve not really having trouble with them resetting but I can’t extend the timers for a longer duration

[obsidian sandal]

so are you saying you can restart the server, and the decay timers aren't resetting back to max time?

[wise kindle]

Mine are fine. 2x extended and they count down as expected.

[icy stone]

Yeah no problem with that.

[obsidian sandal]

that's great news i'm going to have to check this myself i got lazy and hadn't checked in a bit

[icy stone]

I can’t extend them for some reason.

[obsidian sandal]

@icy stone have you tried using beacon to change the decay timers?

[icy stone]

I suck at using beacon lol. I guess I’ll try it out though. I’ve put all the ini codes. I wonder if I have something checked that shouldn’t be or something idk

The Dino decay timer is working. It’s up to 32 days.

[craggy stratus]

hey all, new to Ark. How do i go about joining a certain server. Can't seem to join any.

[wise kindle]

Yeah i think there is a memory leak related to the SE storms. Seems to depend on pop for my maps.

[craggy stratus]

do i use the game servers view drop down menu or the one in game

[wise kindle]

This is best answered in #bobs-with-probs

[elder fox]

Anything I can do to solve it atm? Crashed like 3 times today and had two rollbacks

[wise kindle]

Yeah not that I can see. Im suffering as well.

If a storm blocking mod came out, that would be amazing.

[elder fox]

Just sucks, because everyone here knows it’ll be weeks before they recognize it’s happening let alone fix it

[errant fox]

Having trouble with the Faso's torpidity not going up while we try to tame it any suggestions?

[wise kindle]

I just open bugs. I noticed it seems like they ignore the bugs, its all you can do.

They can’t ignore everything.

[wise kindle]

If you have dino levels over 150 then its a bug. The amount of torpor taken doesn’t scale for levels over 150 so it literally takes twice as many hits to get torp up. Theres a bug open on it.

[elder fox]

Service has gotten worse, price has gone up. It’s exactly what everyone was afraid of when they signed the exclusivity deal.

[wise kindle]

I dont think we can blame Nitrado for a storm bug lol. It also affects selfhosted maps. But I see what you are complaining about.

[elder fox]

I think I just get frustrated with them because there’s never any official communication at all about bugs and stuff, on top of the fact that we’re paying more than ever.

[errant fox]

Thanks that'd be the issue.

[wise kindle]

You can rent barebones servers and host your own. You definitely arent tied to Nitrado.

[elder fox]

I know some mods are causing crashes, so you happen to know which are? Or which ones you have installed? Maybe we have a shared mod causing issue.

[wise kindle]

Tbh theres thousands of mods. Id be very underpaid if I did lol.

[grim rock]

Does anyone know if there's a server setting for frequency of weather events

[wise kindle]

Wouldnt that be great? But no, there isnt.

[slate nexus]

Hey any admin here ? How can I spawn like 180k arb while there is a 100 limit stack ? Using the gfi 100 0 0 will take age and I can't change the stack

[wise kindle]

No admins. Use a dedi and the creative full option.

Its a wheel option on the dedi.

[slate nexus]

You need to get creative mode enabled right ? I can't this is for some public servers

[leaden cedar]

Hello, one of my players on Steam is unable to connect; they're getting a "connection timed out" error, while other players on Steam, PS5, and Xbox can play without any issues. Is there a solution to their problem? They have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and verifying file integrity, but nothing seems to work.

[wise kindle]

Gcm yes.

[wise kindle]

How do you “spawn” things on public servers exactly?

[tranquil fossil]

Been searching around, but can't seem to find an answer to this. Is there an ini setting to allow players to build near or over a water vein for SE?

[indigo bay]

how do i white list somesome to make them an admin

[late estuary]

Think you can find that in admin mgr. Run console command 'showmyadminmanager'

[wise kindle]

Sounds like its on their end tbh.

[indigo bay]

ill give it a go

[slate nexus]

By being admin with console commands

[wise kindle]

Ok so you said you cant cuz its public servers. What?

[slate nexus]

I mean if i enable creative mode in my .ini people will be able to use it no ?

[distant hearth]

pretty sure its this line in gus in ,
EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=False

if there an true change to false, if not there try adding it

[wise kindle]

What? No. Enablecheats password | cheat gcm

Puts you and only you into admin

Thats the proper way to go into admin mode

[distant hearth]

the aloow creative mode is an old ase settinf iirc,
for cosole players to be able press the creative mods option in the menu
almost certain it has no effect in asa as they chnaged it to everyone using the same command box layout

[slate nexus]

Oh so with creative mode disabled it will work in server settings ?

[wise kindle]

I tell no lies

[slate nexus]

Oh thanks it will change a lot...

[wise kindle]

I dont think this works for wells. At least not on my maps anyway. I think they blocked it like some of the artifacts build blocking.

[indigo bay]

i dont see it

[acoustic pendant]

How do the paid mods work for community servers? Does everyone on the server need to pay for it?

[wise kindle]

All players must purchase the premium mods to play on a server that has premium mods.

[acoustic pendant]

also is there any reason why the Paleo ARK - Evolution mod isn't appearing in the nitrado mod installer page? i tried to put the mod id in manually but it doesnt appear to be active on my server (nvm figured out i had crossplay enabled)

[tacit ether]

Anyone know how to Cluster your maps together through batch files?

[ionic field]

StructurePreventResourceRadiusMultiplier=1.000000

but yes we have this BUG 🪲 too on ScorchedEarth_WP

[ionic field]

-clusterID=MYCLUSTERNAME -clusterdiroverride="C:\Ark Servers\Clusters\MYCLUSTERNAME" in your startserver.bat file

[tacit ether]

^ thank you

I scrolled back through chat to find that... and was getting frustrated lol apparently I forgot to put 1 space

operator error

[lime sleet]

Anyone else having problems with their server being stuck in a loop? Currently it is going online for let's say 10 minutes... then it crashes again. The last log that is registered was: Filebrowser: Uploaded a new file "GameUserSettings.ini" to "/games/ni10208196_1/ftproot/arksa/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/". <<< And it keeps updating and restarting.

[ionic field]

NoTributeDownloads=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=True
PreventUploadItems=True
PreventUploadDinos=True

GUS.ini make sure to set as False or to your needs

[acoustic pendant]

Does anyone know any way (mods or otherwise) to remove the foundation requirements for raft/titanosaur building? I used to use S+ For this but the mod doesn't exist for ASA

[ionic field]

PlatformSaddleBuildAreaBoundsMultiplier=1.000000
PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=1.000000 _INCREASE NUMBERS
MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit=15 _ INCREASE NUMBERS

HUGE thankyou

[acoustic pendant]

does the NoFoundationsRequired config still exist?

[echo salmon]

Hi, I want to add custom spawns on SE on asa, do you know if the Container Class name for the spawn entries are the same on asa and ase ?

[modern pelican]

is there not a way to control the weather events in SE?

[olive talon]

Just admin commands to start/stop them

[modern pelican]

i've tried, they don't see to work

like ce start_superheat

[olive talon]

They work for me, just take a minute or two to show.

[grim rock]

Anyone know why I can only find my server after putting 'Ark.UseServerList 0' in the console

[stable bobcat]

Does this ini settings fix it or no? Thanks 🙂

[wind forum]

Is there any way to do cross platform single player between xbox and PC?

[long zenith]

Im on my sp abit, i need some baby setting, I dont wanna wait for to many hours from baby to grow from baby to adult. Maximum 1-2 hours. what would baby mature be on? And i only want to imprint once

[silver glen]

No, hosted on my pc

[peak sapphire]

Dinos have different mature times so it really boils down to which dinos you want to fall in the 1-2 hour bracket as some will be under that and a few over that

[faint ruin]

Wut u mean like u want the same save shared between ur console and PC?

[long zenith]

More of the bigger dinos tbh.. Doedi, ankly, argies, rex, wyvern

[peak sapphire]

Try a mature rate between 40 to 80

[long zenith]

ok. What do most people use on SP ?

[peak sapphire]

For a full list of baby settings check https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Game.ini

[echo mesa]

Is there a way to make certain items invisible or not orp? Like for stuff you want community access to

Invincible*

[ashen nebula]

no worries, I had to go into work as well. It's the file location part I'm tripped up about, I'm not sure how to have the file locations set up in order for this to work correctly. I can send screen shots of my current file location set up and current .bat file for the island if that would help?

[pine ledge]

Can you not save online on ps4 ??

[jade folio]

Anyone having issues when they do a Dino wipe? My server closes and my Xbox dashboards. Just started occurring after this last update.

[elder fox]

Does anyone know if the gigantoraptor mod is one of the mods causing crashes/start failure?

[brave horizon]

all I can tell you is that I have it installed on SE, and had no crashes... but then, no Gigantoraptors are spawning either

[modern pelican]

there's a cave drop that's glitched into the map, and is inaccessible, even with ghosting, is there a way to remove it?

[wise kindle]

you can red gun it but they tend to return when the map reboots

thats not the fake drop in the SE cave is it lol

theres a yellow one on a wall floating, its fake and meant to be a troll.

[elder fox]

I’ve had the map running fine until the last two or three days, crashes several times a day. Now can’t even get it to load a back up. It’s the only mod I have.

[brave horizon]

what map are you running?

[wise kindle]

Gigantoraptors arent supposed to spawn on SE btw. They are only meant for Island until Rag comes out in October. Then it will spawn there on Rag.

[brave horizon]

indeed, they have no assigned spawns at the moment, but I couldn't even assign them to a zone via .ini

just won't spawn

maybe I'll just replace microraptors lol, they're far less annoying

[modern pelican]

oh, it probalby is

[snow hemlock]

Anyone know how to join my 2 servers into the same cluster? In ASE with g-portal, there was a field in the admin portal

[wise kindle]

Its on a big mural with an arm and first symbol. Its fake one to make ppl drop into the pit of death. Been trolling ppl since 2016 lol.

[elder fox]

Not trying to spawn them on scorched, just keeping it installed so people don’t lose theirs in obelisk and can take them out. Was just curious if anyone who was having crashes removed the mod as a fix.

[brave horizon]

what difficulty you running? I've heard fasos are bugged over 150 wild, but that hasn't been explicitly linked to crashes

[cinder hare]

anyone else having issues with tames randomly dying from nothing?

[brave horizon]

is it aquatic tames?

[cinder hare]

no just random ark ascended tames in scorched earth

doesnt say anything killed it, just says it died it had food and was fine

[brave horizon]

ye, I asked cos on the Island aquatics would die by rendering before the water did

[wise kindle]

Not on SE. Had random water tames fall over after touching the deep sea floor tho.

[cinder hare]

I researched it a bit and it said there was a bug on ark ascended where random tames would die, I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this :/

[brave horizon]

only one direwolf that randomly started ascending into the skybox

[wise kindle]

Had a couple random oasissaur disappear on us. Full food and hp, disappeared on reset.

[sudden mango]

Most bases can still be meshed...

[wise kindle]

This is on pve.

[sudden mango]

Nah just got a mesh base on island. Pack cave got raided after thr drop down.. not a single turret touched.

[wise kindle]

Ok. We were discussing random dino deaths.

[sudden mango]

I'm just here to inform others

[obsidian sandal]

Anyone know if any mods/programs out there support cross server chat yet? If it logs chat to discord that's a plus.

[wise kindle]

If i thought it was due to pvp activity I wouldnt even mention it lol.

[near folio]

Anybody else noticing survivors not properly joining tribes after download to SE and then deleting themselves on relog?

[low dew]

@near folio tribe info wont be on the new server on your frist transfer

you will need to recreate the tribe for each clustered server this is normal

[near folio]

Why is it that this is happening to multiple players on multiple transfers and brand new survivors are needing to be created? They can't transfer back and forth without losing tribe. If nobody is online to RE-invite them to the tribe and they log out the character is deleted. Is that normal?

[silver glen]

Im not able to put dinos on the platform of my bronto.. is that a server setting thing or were brontos nerfed?

[near folio]

What if the person that created the tribe on the clustered servers is being kicked from that tribe on his 4th transfer and after he logs out his character is immediately deleted? Help appreciated.

[low dew]

sounds like a issue with your server in that case

what does your bat file look like and game user settings

dm me a copy of both

[near folio]

If you can send me a standard to check against that would be more helpful

[low dew]

i dont have one on hand unfortunatly

just change your ip and passwords

[near folio]

If you can Point me in the direction of a standard working build I can take it from there.

[low dew]

google

[near folio]

Appreciate all your help

[low dew]

np good luck

[near folio]

Of course Google was the first place I looked I was hoping for maybe somebody who knew something about the issue

[untold mason]

isthis the thread where i can figure out how to put a 2nd map on my private server here in my home? I have the 1st map from a few months ago biut have not been running the server - been wwaiting for SE

not sure which thread is for what - i get confused

[low dew]

@near folio i understand im just really busy its easier for me to glance at a bat and ini file then log into my server email my self my bat and ini change stuff in it so i can share it ill give you the quick couple things to look at first

check to make sure your cluster parms are correct and you have a cluster dir check your gus and makesure all download and uploads are false and notributedownload is false

needs to be the same for both any mods needs to be the same for both

@untold mason not really sure if i understand what your wanting

[silver glen]

As far as I know each server hosted can have 1 map, so to have 2 maps up at once you would need a second server running the second map. If you have the hardware you can run 2 servers on 1 machine. Do transfer dinos and survivors between maps they would need to be set up as a cluster.

[untold mason]

I want to set up my server to run both island and se maps at the same time - my currnet machine it a desktop running a 12th gen i9 cpu and 256 gig ram and 8 tb of ssd drives - so i think my mahcine has enough hamsters to run on the wheels to do it - but not sure how to do it 🙂

i run a bat file to run the current srver - thinking adding a 2nd server is possible but i have just enough knowledge to really screw things up atm lol

[low dew]

@untold mason you just need both servers running and the connecting them together is the easiest part

so if you got one set up set up a second one the same way you set up the first one in its own file

settings inis mods all need to be the same for both

only difference between em will be the map

[silver glen]

I haven't done this with ASA but I have with ASE so I believe it works the same way...
You can make a second .bat file with TheIsland_WP? swapped out with ScorchedEarth_WP?

Also make it a different save directory so they don't overlap
?AltSaveDirectoryName=<savedir_name>

[untold mason]

any recommended videos or articles i should watch/read - cuz i think i need to set ports and stuff and that gets confusing for me - i fell down a flight of stairs few years back and got a tbi from a wack ot the head- it would be nice to have a set of instructions i can review repeatedly for reference so i don't drive you all nutters hear with dumb questiosn 🙂

[carmine path]

does anyone here know how to set up a ASA server in ubuntu
i cant find a tutorial

[silver glen]

True you will have to set the server to use different ports to the first server. I'll try find a useful vid for you.

[untold mason]

thanks a ton

[near folio]

"nottributedownload" - tribute? ok thats interesting, thanks

[low dew]

needs to be false

setting it to true will cause problems

[near folio]

Thanks thats helpful! Can I msg you if the issue persists?

[trim yew]

Is it possible to run a cluster over 2 machines?

[shadow bear]

Yes but you will have to put the cluster folder on a network drive that they can both access.

[trim yew]

I thought so the shared network folder it is 😁

[faint ruin]

anyone know how to get past "Couldn't load mods library from disk" on a fresh dedi server? it occurs when i start the server and in the console a line comes up "Couldn't load mods library from disk" then continue doing its thing and loads the world and the server is up. that cool n all but once i added mods and launched the server it crashes
anyone know whats with it?
Couldn't load mods library from disk

[lucid blaze]

So our server randomly got reset to day 1, and reverting to our old saves dosent bring it back. Anyone know how to fix the problem?

[low dew]

@faint ruin for ase or asa

[faint ruin]

ASA

[low dew]

prolly corrupt mods delete them all outt the mod folder and have the server reinstall them

[faint ruin]

no mods, literally first launch from installing the server application

"Couldn't load mods library from disk" shows up in the console

cool n all but moment i start adding mods it crashes, issues with connecting to curseforge servers

[willow veldt]

Hi! Have you any problems with Deathworms spawns on your servers ? I have to make a destroy wild dinos to make them Spawn,

[distant hearth]

yea you can dm if need, but the filepath is what ever you want to name and put on the drive you have the server installed preferably .

[daring prairie]

Is the love ascended mod build in the game and can you delete the mod? Couldn’t find any info on it

[tepid swallow]

What do people use in ASA to broadcoast announcements live to all servers in a cluster to announce planned restarts? I am told arkon has a broadcast feature but it doesn't work.

[lunar cloud]

if you are familiar with running docker containers on Linux, I had a GitHub repo for running Ark servers on docker marcel-dempers\Ark-Docker
Hope that helps

The broadcast works for me, but only in game, if i do it via RCON, it doesnt work. Hoping for a patch at some point

[leaden cedar]

Hello, one of my players on Steam is unable to connect; they're getting a "connection timed out" error, while other players on Steam, PS5, and Xbox can play without any issues. Is there a solution to their problem? They have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and verifying file integrity, but nothing seems to work. They also mentioned having trouble downloading a mod correctly, despite multiple attempts, while other players don't have any issues.

[tepid swallow]

If I use broadcast ingame is it going to broadcast to all servers or just the server I am on?

[lunar cloud]

yeah just the server you are on

[distant hearth]

just the server youre on,
you wud have to setup some sort script id think to send the message via rcon to do it for all servers, or maybe theres a program does it, not sure

[spring cairn]

We had two back-to-back sandstorms, the second one hit us all with the effects, but there was no visual effects. I ran the cheat ce stop_sandstorm and it royally fu--ed everyone on the server.

It just kept re-applying the sandstorm debuff every game tick to every player over and over and over again, the clients could barely keep up and the debuff icon was glitching out with rendering.

[lunar cloud]

In ASE it was just rcon -a 127.0.0.1:${RCON_PORT} -p ${ADMINPASSWORD} cheat Broadcast Hello but does not work in ASA

[spring cairn]

What is the ce stop_sandstorm command supposed to do?

[neon portal]

Anyone smart enough to make gigantoraptors spawn on Scorched?

[distant hearth]

this isnt my code i suck at dino spawns but im led to believe this one works if you have the mod active aswell,

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesOasis_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gigantoraptor",EntryWeight=0.104846154,NPCsToSpawn=("/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C","/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=65,Y=-108,Z=0),(X=-46,Y=-550,Z=0),(X=-587,Y=-437,Z=0),(X=-418,Y=559,Z=0),(X=-576,Y=-70,Z=0)),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

[neon portal]

Tyvm. I’ll try it

[hushed snow]

Players on our cluster randomly losing their characters after logout and login,,, everything else is saved but their characters arent linked to their accounts anymore

does anybody knows a solution?

[low dew]

Sounds like a issue with server saving or corrupt server files is it a dedi ?@hushed snow

I heard of non dedis also having a savings issue

[dreamy pier]

has anyone gotten -exclusivejoin to work? trying to give access to a few friends

[distant hearth]

yea they fixed that a while ago, i think i did it with a txt file but it might work just using -exclusivejoin=<eosid>,<eosid>,<eosid>

[jaunty vortex]

I’ve done it with the text file. It’s bodgy, you can’t update it without a server restart.

In the folder /ShooterGame/Binaries/<architecture>/, create a text file called PlayersExclusiveJoinList.txt

Put an EOS ID on each line.

[dreamy pier]

@jaunty vortex @distant hearth thanks for the replies. I tried with a text file and adding in gus ini but that doesn't seem to work. does the -exclusivejoin=<eosid> go in your bat files then?

[jaunty vortex]

Replace architecture with whatever they called the windows folder.

[distant hearth]

if it works yea that wud be where it goes, i havent tested that way but sure i read somewhere that was a way to do it...

how john says above deffo works

[dreamy pier]

@jaunty vortex got it, i'll try that

@distant hearth thank you

[jaunty vortex]

If you’re not in the file, you get a network connection error. And it also seems to show an unauthorised user connecting, even though they are not in the file.

[dreamy pier]

@jaunty vortex@distant hearth if doing the txt file, does the -exclusivejoin need to be put in the startup bat files?

[jaunty vortex]

Yes

But not the list of EOS IDs which is the alternative method.

I would advise keeping a spreadsheet with who is which ID

[distant hearth]

yea 100% keep a list of the ids an player it belong too

[dreamy pier]

Awesome, will try this out

[jaunty vortex]

Kind of wish they’d gone the Minecraft route which is a json file with player name and ID. And it can be reloaded without restarting.

[distant hearth]

it was ages ago i meesed with it but i think if look at the .arkprofile associated with the eos id it listed the char name associated in there somewhere, its in some weird format i dont recognize but i seem rember seing the name associated with it in there

[silver kayak]

Hi 😊, is there a command we can add to a server to see the general chat of each map we have?

[distant hearth]

no server command, i cant even think of a ay to do it, just use a discord channel

[jaunty vortex]

Good point, I’ll see if I can work out who is who from that. I’ve a couple players who’ve not been on for a while and I need their IDs.

[silver kayak]

Thx @distant hearth

[jaunty vortex]

The guy writing the server manager I use thinks he can hook discord into the map chat.

[distant hearth]

that wud be pretty cool, especially if both wud onto both the game chat and the discord chat

[jaunty vortex]

I don’t know what API hooks there are to tie into

[distant hearth]

i barely understand that sort stuff , but it wud be nice if did work

[jaunty vortex]

I work in application support so other than SQL, I can’t write code. But I can often read it, if it’s well written. But I’ve not seen any documentation for Ark to look at.

Which is partly why there’s debate of the command line arguments to use.

[dreamy pier]

@jaunty vortex for the exclusive join txt file, do i have to point anything to it in the gus ini? or does the -exclusivejoin in the bat automatically look for that txt file?

[distant hearth]

i only know what command arguments work from spending days testing tesing over xmas, but even then it seems some work randomly, like ?port=xxxx will not do anything for me, yet others say its fine lol

[jaunty vortex]

No, but it must be named and placed correctly.

[jaunty vortex]

Yes, I’ve had both ways working on the same server 🙄makes no sense. Then you see people using old ASE options

[distant hearth]

hmm i think i added a line in the gus.ini
playerjoinwhitelist="filepath.txt" or summit like that, going off memory so best to check the wiki for the exact line

[jaunty vortex]

I didn’t when did it

[distant hearth]

yea i mean i get most of it, it will ignore anything not needed like ?listen or ?queryport=xxxx but it makes no sense that it accepts ?port= for some people...
i just always reccomend -port=xxxx as ive never seen that not work

[jaunty vortex]

Might let you change the file name and/or move it from the default. I didn’t try.

[distant hearth]

yea youre prob right , i dont know if i had it in the right place tbh, im still very new to running servers that arent from a host provider

[lavish gulch]

has anyone been having the looping glitch since previous updates and the hot fix never really fix anything?

[severe bison]

How can i reduce the range that Resources can spawn near to my buildings? I need to make it smaller so my Train Tracks don't stop any spawns!

[jaunty vortex]

It’s an ini file setting. I’m not on my PC to check.

[dreamy pier]

@jaunty vortex@distant hearth thanks for the help guys, so far it seems to be working. Tried logging in with my son's pc and it didn't let his join, adding his id now to check to see if it works!

[jaunty vortex]

Remember to restart

[dreamy pier]

yep, doing that now

[distant hearth]

ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=1 in game ini , is default ,
lower than 1 decreases it but be aware going to low will make bushes,rocks ,tress etc regrow in peoples bases

[jaunty vortex]

GameUserSettings.ini

[ServerSettings]
ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=1
ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=1
ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=1

The last one reduces how frequently things respawn.

[severe bison]

1 is like how much how many foundations the rocks can't respawn in

like what is the distance?

[jaunty vortex]

I think by default 1 is 10 foundation blocks.

[distant hearth]

i dont think it works on foundations but not sure tbh , its like a mutipler of unrealengine distance units

[severe bison]

Alright thank you!

[severe bison]

What does the one with playeers mean?

[distant hearth]

how close to a player resources will respawn

[jaunty vortex]

Beaten by Will 😂

[severe bison]

alright thanks!

[distant hearth]

everything is listed in
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

just use crt f and search for it

[distant hearth]

some of them i just know off the top my head after years lolz,
which is crazy as i have a bad memory except for some random things

[severe bison]

oh that is cool!

[distant hearth]

randomly i know pachyrhino fav food is bug repellant , yet i have to use dododex most time for other creatures lolz

[jaunty vortex]

Dododex is awesome

[severe bison]

Okey i think i will just let it default xD

i don't think that 10 foundations are really that big of a deal

[distant hearth]

depends on how busy server is an if players are repectful or not. most players will be sensible an not build near major spawns etc, but u always get that one guy , either doesnt know better or doesnt care

[severe bison]

StructurePreventResourceRadiusMultiplier=0.5

What does this one do? i set it to 0,5

[severe bison]

i have a dedi server with only me and a friend xD

[distant hearth]

it will half the radius in which resources respawn to strucutures, like we said before ....
i also gave you the link to look up what each command does, it explains better than me, im no good explainging things

[severe bison]

alright xD

Sorry haha

[severe bison]

I didn't find anything about the Dino spawns is there no setting for that?

For example if i build the tracks the dino spawns are going to get blocked right?

Or is that not the case?

[dreamy pier]

@jaunty vortex@distant hearth Thanks again for your help! Exclusivejoin seems to be working.

[lucid raptor]

how do i set up my own server on my pc i have trying for about a week and still cant get it. i have all the required specs but cant change any of the settings.

[distant hearth]

no one actually knows as its all new, but since tracks count as a structure we just assume they block spawns unitl told other wise by testing.

[distant hearth]

awesome which method did you use ?

[distant hearth]

so you have the server running and are able to join it?

[lucid raptor]

cant find it on the sever list

[severe bison]

alright thanks! I have noticed that the Tracks themself don't block anything its the pillers needed to build them bc on one part of my track where i used no pillers the trees are growing inside my track ...

[lucid raptor]

im doing it thru steam

[dreamy pier]

used the text file in the filepath that john pointed to and -exlcusivejoin in bat files

[distant hearth]

i will dm u a begginers guide im working on for setting up ark ascended servers, either your commandline is wrong or the port forwarding is wrong

[lucid raptor]

thank you

[severe bison]

Port Forwarding should not stop the server not to list or let the server host join

[distant hearth]

usually not, thats mostly when the start command is wrong, but some routers will block it completely an not even allow it to be listed, also if they didnt allowrthe .exe through firewall its completely blocked

[severe bison]

oh okey 👍

[distant hearth]

some routers will allow others to join but not the host if they have conflicts from nat loopback,
i dont understand networking its all voodo an black magic to me haha

[severe bison]

i'm making a presentation about Firewalls right now and i understand it only a bit xD

[distant hearth]

awesome, thats the sort thing to get into learning , massive future in it .
i can fix mechanical stuff, engines etc, its what i was trained to do , computers i struggle with lol

id have a better chance at working out what component on a mother board is faulty than i wud trying diagnose network issues

[signal sluice]

Does anyone know why I can't get the Gigantoraptor to spawn in SE?

here is my code?

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesOasis_C",
NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="UniqueGigantoraptorSpawn",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"))),
NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.0)))

My only guess is the 'AnEntryName' I cant find this for the mod, does anyone know what it is? I've tried something unique and 'Gigantoraptor' but no joy!

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesOasis_C",
NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gigantoraptor",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"))),
NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.0)))

currently trying this

[hasty hatch]

Is there limit to the train platforms, i cant add more than 2 ???
Is there some setup i can do ?

I have my own dedicated server

[untold mason]

what is the ASA SE map name ? I use TheIsland_WP for the island but forget what to use for SE /facepalm - clearly not enough coffee in my system today, little bit brain dead atm

[celest halo]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration has map names

[untold mason]

[haughty cairn]

is there no way to have alliences and offline base protection on PVE server?

[violet fiber]

Does anyone know if there's a server setting/ini line to control the weather events (sandstorm, heat wave, etc) frequency?

[oak yarrow]

Please help with transfers. I can’t figure out why I can’t get my servers to be able to allow items, players and dinosaur downloads and uploads.
My INI looks like this;
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False

[distant hearth]

check for this line in gus ini and start btach file if self host
NoTributeDownloads=False
if set true it blocks all dowloads

[oak yarrow]

Doesn’t this setting allow people to transfer stuff from their single player or other servers though? I do not want that

[distant hearth]

no it doesnt, see here if you want to check what command lines do ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[oak yarrow]

Thank you

[distant hearth]

well i guess i kinda lied , as it blocks all downloads so theoretically it does block singleplayer downloads too ...
however once u have a clusterid set, no one out side that cluster can transfer in

aslong as its a unique cluster id

[untold mason]

hello - just asking if this is correct (not the actual pswds)? ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?listen?SessionName="Walleye SE"?ServerPassword=abc1?ServerAdminPassword=abc123? -port=7781 -MaxPlayers=20 -NoBattlEye -clusterID=Walleye -

i dont know if i need to specify a mod for the 'Bob's" stuff or not

i made this from my bat file to start my island server 🙂

not sure how the added SE content that looks like a mod is added since i didnt see anything in curseforge

[distant hearth]

ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?SessionName="Walleye SE"?ServerPassword="abc1"?ServerAdminPassword="abc123" -port=7781 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=20 -NoBattlEye -clusterID="Walleye"

?listen no longer used in asa, ?serveradminpassword shud not have a ? at the end , i wrap them in quotaions just as that allows spaces in password an names etc, so it safer ,
-maxplayer=20 is not a command, it shud be -winlivemaxplayer=20 for asa , the - at the end not needed,
? and - are the start of commands in the batch file

hope tht helps

bobs tales is just added to the base game by default

[celest halo]

Do I need to pay for Scorched Earth?
Answer: No, Scorched Earth is included in ARK: Survival Ascended. If you own ARK: Survival Ascended, you automatically have access to the map.
If I do not own Bob's Tall Tales can I still play on Scorched Earth Servers with my friends?
Answer: Yes! You do not need to own Bob's Tall Tales to play on any servers that have Bob's Tall Tales content
Do I need to do anything special to enable Bob's Tall Tales on my server?
Answer: No, Bob's Tall Tales has been baked into the core game so no changes are necessary```

[untold mason]

TY TY TY VM!!!!

[distant hearth]

just bear in mind if you run two servers out of seperate folders you will need to add -clusterdirovverride=xxxxxxx to the command line
where xxxx = the filepath for a shared folder, i.e if the server installed on a c drive .
-clusterid="Walleye" -clusterdiroverride="C:\mycluster"

this must be on both servers

[untold mason]

i was going to run the 2 servers out of the folder where steam is in my library for 'ark dedicated server' - i thought i could just run 2 different bat files. is there a reason i shuold run servers out of seperate files?

folders . not files i mean

the machine i have is a i9 gen12 w/ 256gig ram and 8tb of ssd drives

i think i have the memory and cpu power to run 2 at once in my machine

[distant hearth]

yea i prefer two seperate installs as that way ini file isnt shared, to do it the way u want , you will need to use ?altsavedirectoryname=island on the island server and ?altsavedirectory=scorched on scorched server
if you dont do this it will corrupt save files and cause issue on both maps .
see the pinned post in this channel for more info , bee tagged it for me, its an old one for ase but exact same method

i wrote a guide on running stm cmd servers but its a lil complicated as i dont really explain things well sry .
can send it to you if u want to go that route.

how you are running it will work fine though just a bit more clunky imo

[distant hearth]

that thing cud prob run 20 20 slot servers easily, asa roughly will use couple cpu threads an 10gb ram per 20 slot server instance running

its not an exact since , but rough idea

[untold mason]

if my machine is not gonna handle more maps ibn the future welll - maybe i should upgrade the motherboard/cpu to run dual Xeon processors?

[distant hearth]

it shud handle all maps no problem id expect , i mean who knows in 2 years time but if they follow the same route they are then it be fine

ark like its ram mostly which u have plenty of atm

[untold mason]

i'll see how things go 🙂 - if needed I can maybe order a dual Xeon system from chipheads or something a in a year or so once more maps are out if things run poorly. It is mostly just me playing lol - but i am disabled and house bound so gaming is sorta how I get through the days lol ( gaming and added Dairy Queen blizzards when possible)

[distant hearth]

i recommend running the servers through steamcmd then , it will save more hassle in future with setting them

running off one install is fine, but you have to use the command line to do simple ini configs for each server running from it.

[untold mason]

ok - so i did install my island server via steamcmd and not using the steam windows app with the library and store and stuff. then i installed ark ded serv on my Steam win app so i do have 2 folders in different locations 1 in the steamcmd folder and the other in my steam apps folder. should i just run the two 2 server from the old steamcmd folder? sorry - im a bit punchy atm and getting a tad confused

[distant hearth]

its all good i understand what you have done , doing that way is kinda weird but it is two seperate installs of the server lol .

it be fine for now, using cluserdiroverride=xxxx but it will be a slight issue when installing the next map and get very confusing

personally i think two installed via stmcmd is much easier in long run as easier to add more an less confusing

[untold mason]

ok - so i can update the server in the steamcmd folder then use the two different bat files - 1 for island, 1 for scorched - out of the original folder from steam command on my first install/ then i would just add a new bat files for a 3rd map using new ports and stuff in the future. Am I understanding this correct? I can uninstall the ded serv junk from the windows steam app since i have no even run a server yet from that folder

then everything would run from my origina steamcmd install

[icy rapids]

Anyone else having trouble transferring character on unofficial says I have 3 items on me that are unsupported and I dont have anything on me

[distant hearth]

you can do it that way , the prefered way by me is have stmcmd install a new instnace of the server ,
so i run a seperate update/install batch file and sperate start batch files for each ,
this installs them where i tell them two in there own folders , an example of mine is
D:\arkserver1
then D:\arkserver2

if i wanted a third id install it to D:\arkserver3 etcetc
im going to dm u the guide i been working on, take your time, read over it a few times an i think you will understand better

[untold mason]

tyvm - i do get confused easy from a brain injury messing with my ability to focus and have short term memory. your guide will be a big big help

[distant hearth]

hopefully , a couple people have got servers up an running using it despite the fact im terrible at explaining things if im not actually doing them

[distant hearth]

double check u dont have an chibis or skins, the unofficial ure playing on must have item downloads disabled

[jaunty vortex]

You’re not going to struggle running multiple maps. As W1llz said, ASA likes RAM more than CPU and you have plenty of both.

[wise kindle]

Disable cosmetic items setting should help with this, if it works as advertised.

[icy rapids]

My server owner won't do it cus he doesn't want to mess the server up lol

[wise kindle]

Whelp, hope he was planning to block transfers. Cuz that’s what hes doing lol.

[icy rapids]

Tell me about it either I make a new character or wait 2 months for him to allow transfer of items and hope that fixes it

[distant hearth]

did u ascended from scorched an then not be able to download? as ascension gives 3 chibis,. its being fucking up everyone on officals coz wc dont test fuck all

they have to go back to siland, dump the chibi then transfer back to scorched

[wise kindle]

Theres 10,000 unofficials to choose from. Some even know how to setup their maps. Just pointing that out lol.

[icy rapids]

No but don't have any chibis on me

[icy rapids]

Mate If my tribe wasn't on here I would

[wise kindle]

It’s probably the 3 cosmetic item icons in everyones inventory. Thats the reason they made the disable cosmetic setting.

[distant hearth]

no idea then , they supposed to have fixed cosmetics causing issues

[icy rapids]

My owner won't even take the suggestion of it and just clos3d the ticket

[wise kindle]

Theres alot of bad owners out there unfortunately. Lots of good ones too 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just gotta find them

[distant hearth]

tbf in all years the running ase servers , nevr had more than 30 players at a time over the cluster, but if any one of them had issues i wud go out of my way to fix it for them ..... just saying

Default. No changes needed.

[acoustic pendant]

Some of my players are crashing upon opening the engram list. Is there any specific types of mods known for causing this so I can troubleshoot faster?

[chilly cipher]

We had a teleporter mod that was causing that a few days ago that we had to remove to resolve. Thankfully the mod has been updated and no longer causing the problem so we were able to re-add it.

I would recommend checking your mods, seeing when each was last updated. I was suprised to see how long ago some of the 13 we were running were last updated. That should give you a good indication as to which one may be causing an issue currently for you.

Quick question for anyone running an unofficial on Nitrado, has anyone else noticed what seems like a very small spawn rate for wyverns in the scar?

I may be wrong but I am sure on SE back in the day on official it was generally pretty busy, where as on our server, which has been fine for other spawns, at best there's maybe only ever 5 or so Wyverns there which seems low.

[wise kindle]

Ppl work man, be patient.

[untold mason]

ya, ppl work, I get that - however its over an hour later still no response. the is being patient and then silence. I would think in the official Ark discord response time would be a little netter even if it is just a 'checking - will get back to you'

[wise kindle]

Are you under the impression that ppl get PAID to answer questions here?

[autumn flower]

Walleye is definitely part of no child left behind figure shit out yourself. You’re literally crying that random people aren’t answering your question.
Go cry in a corner

iTs oVeR aN hOuR LaTer

[untold mason]

go fck yourself and learn some manners - i don't think it is to much to ask for a response to a simple question in a fricken help thread on a ark discord server.
So excuse me if im annoyed that the question was ignored - wtf is this thread for is not to ask questions????

maybe close the thread if asking questions and expecting some response to a question is asking too much- it is a help thread after all

[wise kindle]

This is manned, if you want to call it manned, channel where volunteers help each other. Every one of us work for a living. This isnt our job. If the ppl who see your question dont know the answer, they dont say anything. If they do and they have time to help you, they do. Being impatient with volunteers wont get you what you seek.

So, be patient.

[autumn flower]

Excuse me why is nobody helping me

Can I speak to an admin

[untold mason]

i'm not asking for every sinlge person in the dang thread to attempt to answer the question ffs - however, there is a list of mod/admins and a simple - "ya- that's a new one sorry but we don't know atm" would be a hell of a lot fricken better than silince and then getting shit on when i point out it was ignore without response for over an our.

[wise kindle]

Karen needs a manager.

[wise kindle]

You waited what, 10 minutes? Stop it. Be patient.

Or go elsewhere.

Only in this day and age do ppl crap on volunteer help. Go elsewhere dude.

[untold mason]

look at the time lines - 6:53pm original post - 7:14 u respond saying plp work man, be patient - then over an hour of silence on the question... so no 10 minutes...

[wise kindle]

And again, ppl work. Or do you only work an hour a day?

Go crap on volunteers elsewhere.

[untold mason]

im just gonna block you as you clearly are missing the point. your responses are worth about as much as what i flushed down the toilet this morning - you can't fix a narcissist such as yourself who assumes your the target for all comments in a thread

Anyone know how to disable structure obstruction? I have the game.ini setting to disable it set to true but it still is there. Is this something that’s not in Asa?

[untold mason]

bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true isnt working for ya?

or false as needed

[untold mason]

on a private personal server? I know i change something on a nitrado back on ase with bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true in the world settings and thought that carried forward into asa

[latent yarrow]

I’m wondering if it didn’t carry forward because that’s the setting I’m talking about and it isn’t working

[untold mason]

game.ini right?

[latent yarrow]

Yes sir

[latent yarrow]

Yes sir

Also it’s not a nitrado server. Hosted on my own equipment

[restive pebble]

I have ```[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=True

[wise kindle]

It should be the same for ASA. Unless you are building on a resource spawn, the new SE maps have some areas blocked. Like around water wells.

[latent yarrow]
