The Wireless Tools (936940) mod was causing my crash.

[idle dragon]

so my compostbin does not work, at all, ive tryed vanilla, had 500thatch in (a stack) and poop, it took all thatch but didnt give any fert, now i have a mod cyber or something its like S+ on ASE, and it does the same thing aswell, does anyone know what i can do? perhaps there is a setting in ini ive accedently removed?

[wise kindle]

How much poop? It takes several to make one fert

[idle dragon]

i know its 3 per fert and 50 thatch, ive had it full and almost full but it does not work

[lone pike]

Anyone have a list of spawn codes for the items of this event?

Play on an unofficial that the admin is willing to spawn stuff in for the event for us but since it's an overhaul it's impossible to have the event normally

[idle dragon]

do you mean the summer event?

tryed to link it, but he can download a mod, its summer bash if that is what you are looking for

[lone pike]

It's on an omega server so the mod cannot be over the top of that

So I am looking specifically for the shark skin but I did single player club ark and it didn't even award it

[idle dragon]

if you want just the items its harder i found some codes but have to search it individually, i dont know if there is a list of all the codes but here is some pants PrimalItemSkin_SummerSwimPants

[lone pike]

I have been trying but they didn't even list em anywhere on the cc so it's dumb

[idle dragon]

i did find a list for you

i dm you

[cold brook]

Any word on club ark for unofficials?

[mint wasp]

Does anyone know if there are still issues with Xbox players being locked out if the summer bash is added to the servers? I looked through the threads but couldn’t find anything specific

[placid pine]

my friend on xbox was having issues loading into my club ark server in our cluster. her club ark mod was constantly stuck on 99% and then reset back to 40% over and over lol

[true estuary]

Anyone having players on unofficial who are having issues with their inventory? My player has not much on her and when she goes from one map to the other it will black box her as soon as she transfers.

It was happening to her a few days ago and now it is happening again.

[true estuary]

There is a full list of spawn codes on YouTube if you look up Aaron Longstaff Summer Bash

I've been using it to spawn it in on my servers.

A couple of them didn't work. The candy and the shark suit. But, the rest of them worked.

[lone pike]

Well dang I am mostly looking for shark suit :/

[true estuary]

Could have been just me glitching. Or typo'ing.

[lone lodge]

Question, I have several servers. Cross play has been on all of them but the last week, my xbox, PS5 and a couple PC players cannot access Premium play maps. Yes they have the mod etc. I dont see anything in updates about it but see it being a issue on 2 modders maps Survive The night and Forglar as well as. They Time out, uninstall maps reinstall etc. still timing out. Fix? (They cannot load in on Official modded with those maps either)

[brave fossil]

Does anyone know if we can access custom cosmetics on nitrado?

[true estuary]

On my server there is. Place of turn that on or off so it depends on the server owner and what option they choose.

[wise kindle]

Empty the cosmetics tab.

Respawning fulls the cosmetics tab up and with eventually black box inventory if they arent paying attention.

[spice tendon]

if running "club ark" on a cluster, do i need to make sure the mod list is the same as the other maps? or does it prevent you from bringing anything?

[native wave]

you don't transfer to a club ark server. you have to create a new character when you join

[sudden geyser]

anyone having issues with Nitrado servers restarting and updating constantly?

[spice tendon]

restoring from latest backup under the general tab (NOT restore backup tab) usually fixes it for me. it happens almost every other update for me.

does anyone have a working ini code to add the rhyniognatha to the center?

[cosmic chasm]

Anyone having the issue when you transfer from and too servers your certain items/resources duplicate?

[native wave]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/User:ThunderGod97/SpawnWork/

[pale sentinel]

Does any special setup occur for getting summer bash on my server or is it automatic with the update?

I still have that -PrideColors flag in my startup, does that even do anything anymore?

[celest halo]

you need to add the summer bash mod #patch-notes message

[latent thistle]

Hello! apologies if this is in the wrong section. I currently host an ark: survival evolved server for a small streamer community (fairly modded with mostly decoration mods) and one of the players specifically is requesting to see if i can raise the torpidity of dinos to make one of the narcotic mods (used to knock out dinos) more relevant due to the fact we only need to realistically use the second tier (out of 5) to take down some of the biggest dinos in the game.

After doing quite a bit of digging, i've come across the setting "PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[2]=3" the [2] representing the desired stat to be changed (in this case its torpidity) to the desired multiplier which right now is set to 3. Unfortunately after setting said parameter in the game.ini file and spawning the same dino at the same level, (after a server restart) It doesnt change the stat whatsoever from 189.4k (level 300 giga). I'm curious if this is due to wild dinos always spawning with a 0 base stat in torpidity, so the game has nothing to use the multiplier against. BUT when i set the multiplier to .1 for example, the dino will have 18.94k torpor... which is a real head scratcher. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

[native wave]

That'd be the right ini setting...seems you've found a hardcoded limit in it. Have you tried something a little less....like 2...1.1, 1.5, etc to see if anything above 1 has an effect? It may be that it's only 0-100%

you'd have to develop a mod to increase it if no default ini settings affect it higher than 1.

[fallow cape]

hello

how i can dl a server plz

[native wave]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

[latent thistle]

Yeah, nothing above 1 seems to do anything. How difficult do you think creating a mod would be for such a thing?

[lucid solstice]

Torpidity is due to the overall level. It's not a stat that gets points, nor can you add points to it

[native wave]

That I don't know...don't work on mods myself....just run servers.

[lucid solstice]

You could just increase levels a lot, or just take the mod out. To make taming easier but not too easy the best way is just to edit drops so that you get higher tier weapons.

[latent thistle]

Currently the max cap of wild tameable dinos is 300, i'm not sure if i can go above that due to the simple fact a lot of my players are faily new, and we are on the fjordur map. so theyve been getting lvl 270s+ on spawn beaches.. lol Is there also a way i can adjust the "weight" of higher level spawns?

[lucid solstice]

You can use custom dino levels. But at level 300, most of the torpor mods are still way overtuned

I would highly suggest just adding higher tier weapons more often into drops (via beacon or manually) as opposed to a torpor mod if you are looking for more balanced gameplay.

[wise kindle]

Those days when you wake up to 2 maps down with sql corruption and you get a sqlite error when you try to vacuum.

I need stronger coffee.

[quaint tinsel]

The Center is just constantly crashing the server now. Not a good thing.

Any known fixes or issues to help alleviate this new problem?

[lucid solstice]

Can you see why it's crashing?

[quaint tinsel]

The server goes down and there's no popup and the nitrado logs don't seme to show. (Unless I'm missing something)

Everyone on the server dcs at the same time. Seems like someone is usually at the swamp. But someone is about everywhere so tough to say

[native wave]

Can you see ram usage? Possible increased ram usage is going over the limit imposed by nitrado and they are automatically restarting it to clear the high memory usage. That is common on nitrado when they put too many servers on one machine.

The only thing you can do is lower the memory footprint without paying for more resources.

[orchid wing]

Okay so hardcore isn’t enabled and I’ve tried restarting several multiple times and still when a player dies they get reset back to level 1 with start stats… has anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?

[lone slate]

All my servers randomly crashed about 30mins ago. Anyone else having issues??

[wooden tartan]

I have not. My servers have been up for 2 days 5 hours. Are you hosting on nitrado or self host?

[native wave]

No issues here with server stability. Last time it happened it was a specific mod, but that was in like, March, or something

[primal sequoia]

anyone having issues enabling Summer Bash event on private dedicateds?

[native wave]

did you add the mod ID to your mod list?

[primal sequoia]

yes

" shows it's active when joining the server but the cosmetics aren't showing in the smithy, no holiday tab"

is what ppl on my cluster are saying

[native wave]

mod id in command line and in the game.ini?

[smoky glen]

Does anyone know how to get the shark skin to work in unoffical? Our server owner said he updated all servers with the latest cosmetic config parameters. But when I win the skin isn't showing up, it's also not showing up when I start the game like it did on offical when I tested to see if I could get it there

[lucid solstice]

It doesn't need to be in gameini

[native wave]

well I do love simplifying my setup

[vital linden]

I have -DoCustomCosmeticValidation in the commandline of the servers. Is there anything else I need to add to server config for Summer Bash skins (shark) to show up? The Summer Bash mod is already added to ClubARK and other servers in the cluster.

[lethal garden]

how do i enable summer bash on my unofficial server

[haughty nexus]

Finally found a way to force us to stop using creative mode!

Just change the admin password to something with profanity and the console command won’t register

[lethal garden]

think we figured it out Thanks

[fossil abyss]

Also having this same issue with my unofficial cluster

[primal sequoia]

Yea players in my cluster also having issues with summer event

[woeful chasm]

tried doing that n isnt working

[sacred gorge]

I want to enable cave building in Nitrado, how do I do that?

help me

[swift quartz]

its in a setting just turn on cave building in advanced

[sacred gorge]

It's not there, it's in the setting.

[lilac maple]

Server Cluster showing Item Downloads Disabled when trying to upload Club Ark stuff to the bank for transfer. Checked both servers and have not got the box ticked to disable item downloads. Can someone offer any help? Thank you!

[lilac maple]

I think you have to die and then respawn for it to appear

[native wave]

Someone running a nitrado server:
I'm updating the wording on how to activate events on the wiki
For mod based events such as Summer Bash....does Nitrado have an interface for this to select the mods for your server? I'm aware you don't have access to the command line to add mod id's...but how do you go about adding a mod like Summer Bash to your server?
For events such as Pride....which are activated with a command line flag...how is this represented as an option in their interface?

[smoky glen]

I've done that. Just the shark skin isn't appearing. All other bash skins are working.

[late estuary]

Yes there's an area to add Curseforge mods. For color events like Easter and pride it's a drop down menu.

Nitrado has their own discord

[native wave]

ok, so you just add the mod id's for mods you want to add

yeah I know they have their own discord.

[late estuary]

I think you can type them in. I just click the shiny pictures

Either or

Is a simple interface

[native wave]

would this be accurate:
by selecting the mod in the list or by adding the mod id 927091 to the provided field.

[placid pine]

you just need to copy and paste the id number into the field where you add mods under curseforge in the nitrado server settings and click save. you should be able to see the summer bash mod pop up after you save.

and dontforget to restart server

[native wave]

I'm not trying to do it myself. I'm editing the wiki to say how to do it on the event pages

so this is good:
by adding the mod id 927091 to the provided field and clicking Save.

[placid pine]

yes, if you want to be more specific, the provided field is called "Active Mods" in the nitrado curseforge settings

[native wave]

that does help, thank you

[placid pine]

no problem!

[native wave]

by adding the mod id 927091 to the Active Mods field in the Nitrado Curseforge settings, and clicking Save.

it's been a while since I hosted ASE servers with them, so the interface has no doubt changed from what I can remember...especially since ASA stuff is through curseforge now

[placid pine]

this is my first time hosting over nitrado so i wasnt familiar with the old interface haha

but it looks good, id maybe add "restart server to apply mods"

[native wave]

to be even more specific, how's this:
Stop your server first. Add the mod id <code>927091</code> to the <code>Active Mods</code> field in the Nitrado Curseforge settings, and click Save. Start your server.
I know before making changes to the configuration it's best to stop the server first, so I included that part too.

Just trying to make sure we have good instructions for everyone not on official when they search for an event

[placid pine]

for sure, i think the instructions look great

[native wave]

Awesome, thanks for the help

[placid pine]

of course

[loud yoke]

I'm looking for help updating my dedicated server. It's been months since I've run it since I just play it with the people inside myself. Unfortunately, running my python no longer seems to correctly update the server. My version is ver 39 and official seems to be in the high 40s.

I see a few errors in the cmd prompt:
rk ascended src\clientdll\steamengine.cpp (2742) : assertion failed: CSteamEngine::BMainLoop appears to have stalled > 15 seconds without event signalled

Error! App '2430930' state is 0x606 after update job.
etc.

Where there any major changes to the way these get updated?

EDIT: Example of a fresh install seems to only create a steamapps folder within the folder im trying to download the server files to, and no ShooterGame or Engine folders with zero DLL files in the base

[main depot]

Any idea why I can't stack Wyvern Milk?

Game.ini -> [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

Other items such as RawPrimeMeat_Fish work: ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_Fish_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

The syntax is the same. So why doesn't the milk work? I've heard of ASA servers where it works - so there seems to be another setting influencing it....

[fervent tree]

@loud yoke Your important error is "Error! App '2430930' state is 0x606" that means the user that runs steamcmd has insufficient permissions

[loud yoke]

So that's an issue with "run as adminastrator". let me reboot and try again. @fervent tree Thank you!

[last hornet]

Would highly recommend beacon for all server managing 👉🦖

[native wave]

I've looked at it...but it doesn't suit my needs except as a information resource.

[loud yoke]

@fervent tree Now im getting a 0x202. Some quick google tells me this is likely not enough space but ive got over 100G of free space.

[distant hearth]

example of fully work ark install/update batch file .
start C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit
change install locations to where yours are

[loud yoke]

This is what i was just testing with. (I removed the +quit to see logs)

start E:\GameServerHosting\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ..\ArkServerTest\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate

Im going to change the full path for the ..\ArkServerTest\

@distant hearth It seems like new folders are being created with a readonly attribute.

[distant hearth]

yea i dunno what ... does for it , i always just used the exact location

[loud yoke]

Nah. that didn't work either

[distant hearth]

i dunno what you did then, its a simple command

[loud yoke]

well direct path worked, but still getting the same 202 error.

this is the exact command I was using.

start E:\GameServerHosting\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir E:\GameServerHosting\test\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate

[distant hearth]

#1 start C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe = start the stm cmd program from that install location

#2 +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" = check for a folder/directory at location specified , create one if not found

#3 +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 = login into stmcmd anoym and update or install the specified app /program

#4 validate +quit = validate the files after installation and close the program once finished

if its not working id suspect permissions issues,(maybe some crappy scammy antivirus?) , just delete stm cmd and reinstall it , giving it permissions as required.

[loud yoke]

@distant hearth Thanks. (still not working yet) but reinstalling steamcmd and starting from scratch

[distant hearth]

fingers cross does the trick, just point it at ure server location once reinstalled with permission and it shud be fine ,
if u still have issues after that , try a fresh server install to a new location, if that works can then just copy the save and ini files over .

side note might be a good idea to check u havent set ini files to read only

[loud yoke]

Yeah. Ive never had any of these problems before. Most of the files should have been read only anyways. however this is my current issue. I cant even update steamcmd.

[gilded copper]

So...people can still claim babies of dino's that i have set to be untameable? Is there a way I can prevent this? Or is my only option to remove baby dinos?

[last hornet]

confusing tobegin with but less chance of screwing up your settings

[worn saddle]

is there a way for me to add Rhynio spawns to my server running The Center? or if anyone knows a mod that does it (ASA)

[native wave]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/User:ThunderGod97/SpawnWork/#Rhyniognatha

[worn saddle]

I don't really understand what I'm looking at 😅

[native wave]

you add that to your game.ini and it'll add spawns to the swamp around the center

put it all on one line

[worn saddle]

would you mind if I message you? I don't want to take over the chat here

[native wave]

go ahead

[native wave]

It also doesn't include everything in the free version...such as creature spawn changes. And I can't afford a yearly sub to something I won't use that often

and I haven't really messed up my inis in a long time. I've been managing my own servers for years.

[distant hearth]

beacon is amazing for a lot ini config , especially breeding settings and drops, i always recommend it to newer people,
i can and do some things manually , personally i find it worth the small fee.
However if you know how to do it anyway , why pay, im fortunate to be able afford it. It is a tough time financially for a lot people if i was struggling to pay bills then i wud do it manually.
just takes a bit more time and effort

[native wave]

also, I realized the reason I include the mod list in both my command line and gus.ini...my command line is not backed up in my nightly backup, my game.ini is, so I'm leaving it there. It's superfluous but handy for my backup.

I store all my settings in my own local wiki anyway

[distant hearth]

the fact you go to the effort to update the wiki for nitrado users is just above an beyond
nitrado can barely be bothered to update there own guides, discords, forum

[native wave]

yeah went looking for guides on nitrado to see what the interface was like....found very little posted for ASA

[distant hearth]

i havent looked for asa but they was piss poor for ase , so makes sense it wud suk

the best bit is we can then link to the wiki , gonna save alot time an effort as nitrado links arent allowed here

[native wave]

yup yup

summer bash is up now as of today: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/ARK:_Summer_Bash_2024

[native wave]

also did a test and the server will not start properly without the -mods= if you have mods, you can't just put it in the game.ini

[distant hearth]

thats awesome, can i reccomend u add ,
wait 5 minutes after stopping server , to let the nitrado user interface catch up with the actual server

or something along those lines , trust me u always wait atleast 5 minutes after hitting stop button on nitrado servers, or it will cause issues 8/10 times

[distant hearth]

oh i tested that in winter , december time, it must have -mods on self host

some say the gus ini determines mod order, it does not on self host, atleaat not for me

[crystal geyser]

I have servers set up and clustered but my club ark says transfers are not activated. What do I need to do

[native wave]

In GameUserSettings.ini

PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False```

[distant hearth]

make sure all filters in gus.ini are correct to allow downloads,
make sure they share a clusterdirectory if self host

notributesdownload is the one most people miss in the ini , it must be false or blocks all

[crystal geyser]

You mean gus.ini? I don't have that ini file on any of my other servers,and they don't say transfer isn't activated

[distant hearth]

i did , sry typo, can u give more info on the servers, self host or nitrado?
how many maps, can u transfer everything between them normally , etc?

[crystal geyser]

Unofficial, On a home server. 5 maps plus club ark so 6. I haven't tried transferring. I did hit the obelisk on the center and it doesn't tell me transfers weren't enabled like club ark does

[distant hearth]

so club ark works like a custom map for setup, but when joining its unique.
once its clustered in, you join it from the pause menu, theres an option for club ark, the only option is a new char

[crystal geyser]

the actual message is ARK ITems Transfers are disabled on this server!

[distant hearth]

you can join it from ob, but shud warn you the current char will sleep where it is

[distant hearth]

from what server ? and at what point does it say that ?

[crystal geyser]

in club ark. When I go in the bank and click to my inventory. and try to move items to transfer to another server

Don't get that message when I go to an obelisk in a map for transfers

[native wave]

according to the wiki, The default values for all of those entries in the gus.ini are false anyway

[distant hearth]

i havent tried to use the bank tbh, so dont know how that works.
sry

[native wave]

might explicitly need it on Club Ark

[crystal geyser]

I had to create gus.ini. I don't see it in any server I have. all the gameuser ini settings show false for those things

[native wave]

well when in doubt, or something isn't working, add the ini setting even if it's the default

GameUserSettings.ini

[crystal geyser]

well it's right in the gus

[native wave]

also make sure they are under the header [ServerSettings]

[distant hearth]

ty i deleted my mess entirely to save confusion if anyone else read

[crystal geyser]

I'm seeing if I can transfer from map to map with obelisk now.

[distant hearth]

so i havent tried the bank thing on self host, ive only tested winning from spin wheel , then d/l items to my server/s , no issues

they auto get put into upload from a club ark server

[crystal geyser]

where would I download them from? The obelisk?

[native wave]

The inventory section of the obelisk...the items will have timers on them

[distant hearth]

yes , as if move items from map to map like any other iten u upload

[faint crypt]

Im not sure what is going on but my players and I can't upload items from Club Ark to our maps either. Self hosted Unofficial. Haven't stopped the server in days and one of my players earlier today transferred items successfully but now they can't.

[distant hearth]

good point, they have the timer thats set like any other upload to ob

[crystal geyser]

Could I have the cluster directory setup wrong?

[distant hearth]

do u get the same error message?

[native wave]

are you sure your cluster is working, as in you can transfer players and items between maps

[distant hearth]

possiblly, they shud all share same

to cluster servers they all need identical id and shared directory

[native wave]

all servers need to be able to write to the same directory. even if they are stored in different locations for every server, the directories should sync so if one server writes all other servers should be able to read

[crystal geyser]

The site that told me how to setup cluster showed the directory a few ways. I don't remember where. I had no clue about clusters till I messed with bluc ark

[native wave]

I've even used syncthing to remotely share cluster directories and it worked in ASE

read and write for all servers to that directory

[faint crypt]

"ARK items transfers disabled for this server"

[distant hearth]

there is two ways to cluster in ase, one of which is kinda obsolete in asa, it depends how u run the servers, separate exe or shared exe

[native wave]

In GameUserSettings.ini NoTributeDownloads=False PreventDownloadDinos=False PreventDownloadItems=False PreventDownloadSurvivors=False PreventUploadDinos=False PreventUploadItems=False PreventUploadSurvivors=False

[faint crypt]

Our cluster set up is 100% fine.. nothing has changed since the Summer Bash update came out and the server has been running without downtime since then. My players and I have been going between Club Ark and The Center seemlessly for days and have been having 0 issues transferring items until right now.

[native wave]

minimum needed would be

NoTributeDownloads=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False```
I believe, for Club Ark

[faint crypt]

Surely transferring items isn't handled by some type of connection outside of our servers.. right..? Like if Wildcard/Snail or Nitrado servers are having issues.. that wouldnt impact us?

[distant hearth]

it wud, everything goes through eos

[faint crypt]

Wow.. that's garbage

[distant hearth]

epic online services

[native wave]

only the EOS API would affect server's visibility to other servers

[distant hearth]

its how xplay works, it all needs to connect to eos, then go to server

[native wave]

curseforge can disrupt getting into servers because of mod checking

[faint crypt]

Good to know this game is screwed in the event they drop support for it 🙂

[native wave]

yeah the lack of direct connection and eliminating the mod checking really sucks

I used to be able to play on my ASE servers even if my internet was offline

[distant hearth]

no differnt to like 90% other games out there ,
bout 5 year ago i cudnt play cyberpunk , on a xbox one x, becuase me interweb shit was down for a couple weeks an had a digital copy..
no interwebs no connect to confirm i owned game

[crystal geyser]

Nope, went to obelisk in another server. Things I put in obelisk wasn't there. I may have to figure out cluster directory. After I figure that out maybe that will fix my problem

[faint crypt]

I still dont think there's an issue with cluster set up.. again, my set up was 100% fine and we transferred without issue earlier this morning, and as of right now we can't. If what everyone is saying is true.. then there could be an external outage causing the problem.

[distant hearth]

yea id think is isuues , is easy, all servers must use same -cluserid="myid" and -clusterdiroverride="myclusteradress"

[crystal geyser]

well I'll look into it later. Off to watch house of the dragon. which I guess should be house of the wyvern seeing those are wyverns and not dragons on it

[distant hearth]

the dir over ride must point to a location on a disk drive all servers can access

[native wave]

If there is an outage, can't really tell as there's a mobile player trying to troll general chat

[distant hearth]

if eos (epic online services ) has issues, 100% can effect it. if was working fine, then thats first point to look at .
just pot luck two people with similar issue at same time imho

one never worked, one did work

[compact goblet]

anyone know if club ark is supposed to erase mission clear data everytime the club ark server resets?

have to make a new trive everytime and dont think ths shark skin is staying unlocked

[distant hearth]

i have tested it a little and seen the same issues u have, it keeps the coin gained but resets what mission done etc.
i havent had chance to look into it further , prolly sumthing the devs have to fix

[gilded copper]

I removed a couple mods(Admin Panel, Mystery Crates, and Nanoh's Spyglass) to help my admin be able to actually play.
Before she would crash every time she loaded in.
Now she crashes between 5-10 minutes of playing.
"Everytime I crash now I have to delete saved stuff for my GT and then it loads me in"
I am unsure if its a specific mod that is causing her issues, some mods i refuse to remove as my server rp depends on them such as MuchStuffPack and Simple Trade. shes on series s.

[distant hearth]

series s is the issue, they cant handle stock game let alone modded, imho

[gilded copper]

That's what it seems to keep coming back to. Her console.

[distant hearth]

it is what is, series s is terribly underpowered, m$ pretty much scammed people with it, next gen my arse, its barely better than a xbox one x

[compact goblet]

beating the shark minigame didnt give the shark reward on my dedicated server. so I tried the spawn command and it says "not allowed to spawn on this map" (the island) happens to anyone else?

[distant hearth]

did you try respawn char, supposedly its a skin that gets granted on deth

[compact goblet]

yeah I tried respawning. didnt get it

default survivor items on

[distant hearth]

not sure then i dont any have made it work yet on unofficial

[compact goblet]

wierd thing is its not givine me bobs tall tales stuff either

guess gotta wait for wildcard to fix

[distant hearth]

i havent had time to play it since summer bash came out so not tested it

[spice tendon]

did you add the summer bash mod to the "Club Ark" server?

[spice tendon]

and also make sure "default survivor items" is on in the advanced tab of settings then respawn

i have custom cosmetics enabled on my server, but the only way someone else can see them is if they also manually install said mod. this applies to the power rangers mod as well. Does anyone know what is going on?

[compact goblet]

yes and yes

i didnt do anything to custom cosmetics. but ppl dont have to install them on their end as long as they log in after I place the cosmetic or wear the skin

[lapis quest]

Nvm, seen the same question above

[compact goblet]

On my cluster I have some mods and the summer bash. On club ark server I only have the club ark mod

Do Ineed to add summer bash to club ark?

[lapis quest]

The skin is part of the summer bash mod

Wc are going to merge into main game some days after the 17th

[compact goblet]

Kk I'll try it out

When I installed someone said I don't need that on club ark but that would make sense that I do need it

[lapis quest]

We have on our clusters, the skin is working just fine

[compact goblet]

Thanks

[lapis quest]

Dont forget to not remove the summerbash mod on jul17

Wc probbly going to tell us to do that -passivemod thing so we dont lose skins

[compact goblet]

Yep

[lapis quest]

We did that on christmas event, everyone lost their shit

[compact goblet]

It's a strange way to add content into the game

[lapis quest]

It is, but waaaay easier tho

Isnt that hard to create mods, so they get plenty of time to take them all into the core game

Im just hating those event colours, feels so weak comparing to the pride one

[jaunty vortex]

Mods don’t need to go through Xbox/Playstation validation. Also, you’re not changing game code so only the mod needs to be tested.

[still thunder]

is there a way to prevent babies from spawning?

[distant hearth]

if self host can try this in the start command/batch file

#building-screenshots message need help with my friend joining my server

[toxic hazel]

Lemme know off the outcome please 🙏 😏 I haven't tried getting the skin yet but my club ark has no bash mod and has the mini games and new look

[placid pine]

adding the summer bash mod to my club ark server fixed the issue of the shark skin not showing up on our main server for my friends

[hexed pine]

Question for SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier. I have it set to =1.0 on a server set to DifficultyOffset=1.0, OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0. However, in almost 400 in game says looting countless gold and red drops we have never seen a single blueprint above journeyman. Most are only dropping greens and an occasional blue. Are ascendant items only dropped from cave and ocean drops? Is there another setting that affects loot crates? Thank you.

[distant hearth]

try setting it to 1.5 , this shud see the loot quality increase a reasonable amount, without being to op

if ure still not happy, go to 2.0, test etc

[hexed pine]

That does seem abnormal though, yes?

[distant hearth]

no i dont thinks so, im not super experienced in it but i think even official uses a bit higher than 1.0

theres some correlattion between difficulty offset and overoficialdificulty iirc, the whole system is quite complicated far as i rememeber

[spice tendon]

I've been trying to add Rhyniognatha to the center (asa) and I can't get any existing code to work in the game.ini. Ive gotten rock elementals to spawn without issue in the volcano but I cant get the rhynios to spawn in the swamp using the same code with the spawn entry changed to the swamp. Multiple dino wipes and even waiting over an hour for some to spawn

Does anyone see any issue with the following code:
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Rhynio",EntryWeight=0.5,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.25))))

[native wave]

you might have issues since you removed the NPCSpawnLimits which is part of the ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer

[spice tendon]

i used yours before actually and it wasnt spawning any at all (spaces removed as well). Your gigantoraptor worked just fine though on SE

super weird

[native wave]

the ini entry on my userpage is copied directly from my center's game.ini

[spice tendon]

ill try it again as the one i just used worked but spawned 20 of them 😅

[spice tendon]

it worked this time. thank you!

[main gyro]

anyone have a fix for Mods not installing and broken file?

[lapis quest]

Asa server or client?

[main gyro]

I'm trying to join a server but I'm getting broken file on one of the mods while downloading it

[lapis quest]

Do you know which one it is?

Try manually download them instead using the join server option

I believe theres an option to remove the mod on the modlist that is broken

[main gyro]

I've already done this and it's cancelling installation on its own or my game crashes

[lapis quest]

Have you done a file integrity on steam?

[main gyro]

Yes, unfortunately I don’t know what to do next, I’ve uninstalled, deleted steam, verified files, uninstalled all mods. Restarted computer and game

[lapis quest]

Is there any mod folder or temp folder for them that you could delete to try again? (At work pc, cant check rn)

[silent crane]

Is anyone else having really high ping across their server? Just curious if it’s an wildcard/nitrado thing or a mod thing or server specific

[compact goblet]

Yeah I was able to get shark skin

[pure bane]

hi I wanted to know if for the map ebenus astrum it was necessary to have extinction/ abberation or scorched earth? and if you have some mod that go well with the map I will thank you

[uneven flame]

For Club Ark if we add any mods to it that add to loot drops and things like that will they be available as rewards for the missions and stuff? Or is there a way to code in some modded items into the reward systems?

[main gyro]

I've just been clicking the install and update button on the mod which did keep crashing my game but after 13 hours trying today and since around the 12th last month it finally decided to work.

[gilded copper]

why do my signs keep getting changed to " . . . " often?

It's making my player storage difficult

[fallen vale]

I’m looking for some help with a cluster of mine. Could anyone help me please ? I don’t know how to set it up I’ve set it up how online says and it will not show up on my cluster. I’m trying to add another server with club ark to my unofficial cluster. I can’t find a solution anywhere and I’m not the best at coding

[idle silo]

Hi im the only who Cant join a the center host?

[smoky glen]

@primal sequoia We were able to fix it on our cluster. If the summer bash mod is not on the club ark server itself too, you cant get the shark.

[untold ginkgo]

How can I set up the cerato mod on passive on the server settings to make sure they don’t spawn so only the base game ones do?

[native wave]

add the mod id at the start of the mod list, like -mods=xxxxxx. then also add -passivemods=xxxxxx....where xxxxxx in each case is the mod id of that mod you want to set passive. it has to be in the same position in both lists

[native wave]

I've had cases where they just get killed too easily....around the time posted that today I checked and there were none. I chalk it up to the swamp being volatile....lots of things can kill. Later tonight I had 10 with no restart or Dino wipe.

[deft helm]

Please help. How do I stop unlocked structures from locking again after server restarts?? I tried the ForceAllStructureLocking=true config as both true & false but both have the same issue.

[main depot]

How can I stack Wyvern Milk without a mod?

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

works on some servers. But not on ours. Any ideas?

[solemn zephyr]

Are you using a stack mod?

[true estuary]

One of my players is reporting this issue, two others say they have to be on a mount to open them: "I've been on a mount, I've been off a mount, I've walked across them, I've crawled across them. I've even tried to hit them, shoot them, and even emote them. I've even tried different mounts.
I've un-installed and reinstalled several times.
Still only had 2 dossiers open and none of the Explorer notes." I've personally had trouble and couldn't open a few explorer notes. Anyone else seeing this or know how to fix it?

[main depot]

No - we don't use it. We have restacked other things this way - like honey, poly, meat. So the override seems to work in principle - but not with milk

[forest stirrup]

Guys please help me i have a problem with Ark, i cannnot join any server and the game says "connection timeout" What can i do ? Have anyone ever had this issue ?

i dont think so

thx mate

[young stream]

For future purposes bc I never done it before if I made changes to the server (ini files for example) and caused a server restart loop how do I do a backup which one would it be? The database one? And would it be the very top one to restart it back too or the 2nd one I don’t wanna accidentally wipe the server or anything ☠️

[plucky surge]

is there a command to spawn a maewing on a map that doesnt have maewing spawn

[shut crane]

im having the same issue with a restart loop on my server. I did the map save backup first and it looped again. so im going to try thw database one now.

[young stream]

There is a maewing command but if it’s a map that doesn’t have maewings and you don’t have a mod to add them it won’t work

If you have a mod that adds the maewing they have their own command to spawn theirs in sometimes it will be listed in the mod description on cursforge or you gotta join their discord to find the command

[plucky surge]

thats not true, i spawned one in without any mods in the island

[young stream]

Ah I tried to spawn rock drakes on a map and it kept saying this map didn’t have them so figured it would be the same with maewings

[plucky surge]

ah i see

[young stream]

I tried the same with phoenixs on the island didn’t work till I added a mod lol

I can try and find the command you can try

[plucky surge]

oh no i already spawned one in, i just typed up maewing and look on the wiki or whatever and it showed me the command

thanks anyways

[young stream]

Yw

[solar ice]

i set my server and idk what ive done but you can demolish everyones bases [he is currently online and in the base] what setting do i have to change? i guess i tried making the timer 0 so he wont exist and it just make it that you dont need to wait to demolish

[solar ice]

ithink that it is PvEStructureDecayDestructionPeriod but can someone please confirm that before i do something stupid that would destroy all my base?

[faint cape]

We’ve tried everything on our server and this just doesn’t seem to be an option. So our workaround is to set PIN codes and then leave a sign for anyone that’s needs to access.

[faint coyote]

Fix the Gigantoraptor, I haven't been able to size even 1 for more than a week.

[gilded copper]

I've yet to find an answer. why do my signs keep getting changed to " . . . " often?

[lapis quest]

Same here, few days ago i downloaded a bunch of custom signs and canvas designs, decorated the whole base. Next day when i logged in everything was gone

[gilded copper]

i'm just using metal signs and wooden signs. each day i come back on they all say ". . . " it's getting quite frustrating as i have a pickup building where players can pick up their starters and store orders and i put their names on the door.

[lapis quest]

On my end, every canvas that i painted turned into mejoberrys picture lmao

[rugged moon]

did it work? 2 of my maps are still down having the same issue

[true estuary]

My players are beating the game in Club Ark that is supposed to give them the shark costume but theu aren't getting it. Anyone seen this or know how to fix it?

[distant hearth]

#1 is the summer bash mod added to the club ark server
#2 have they respawned
#3 do they have default survivor items enabled

[true estuary]

Hmm. No to number 1. Didn't know that needed to he added. I assumed everything theu needed would be in the Club Ark mod. Just set it up as it came and didn't really know if anything. Else needed added or modified.
2. Not sure...what do youvmean by respawned? Left the club and then came back?
3 some of us don't. Will that prevent getting the stuff we win?

[distant hearth]

the skin its self is one like in ase where you got when you respawned after death.
yes i believe the mod need added to the club ark summer
yes it wud count as a default survivor item

[true estuary]

Okay. Thanks!

[smoky glen]

Can confirm that the mod is needed on the club ark server itself. Once our admin added it, I was able to finally get the skin.

[tardy yew]

is there a way to hide the shovel engram if so does anyone kno

[shut crane]

i had to use the Server backup files and rolled it back to the 6th and its working just fine now

[plush cedar]

how can i make the crops grow faster i have already changed the Cropgrowthspeedmultiplier to 20 and still its taking forever with 300% greenhouse effect, its been 3 in game days and still seedling.

[native wave]

thanks for confirming, adding that to the instructions for the summer bash mod on the wiki

plus I just need to add it to my own server for when I try to get the shark costume

[junior gull]

Does anybody know of a setting or a workaround to make turrets not place able on terrain?

[native wave]

that would probably have to be a mod, and I don't know of any that do that

[junior gull]

Yeah I looked didn't see anything for it or even like a better tek rifle that can break them

[deft helm]

Ah thank you was hoping I didn't have to do pin codes but ah well it is what it is 🤣

[plucky surge]

is there a mod or something that completely disables the command bar? i cannot stop myself from cheating

[native wave]

unbind the console key?

[plucky surge]

wont work

i need something that actually disables it

[native wave]

you're like me and alarm clocks....the snooze button is useless for me because even in a sleepy state I hit the disable alarm button every time

[plucky surge]

lol i do that but are there no ini settings that i can just remove to disable certain commands

[native wave]

an alternative is to setup a dedicated server, play on that and never set an admin password

set a server password so that only you can enter. then never touch the settings or set an admin password and you won't be able to enable cheats

[native wave]

A side note to this: my solution for disabling my alarm was force myself to answer problems (via I can't wake up alarm clock) to disable the alarm. Works pretty well...not me-proof though

[floral pumice]

i am hosting a survival evolved server via steam cmd and it works but i just cant get mods to work in my server can anyone help me?

[spare brook]

I've got a custom mod updater so my "old way" knowledge may be outdated so, apologies if this is wrong but.....

Add the mod IDs to the GameUserSettings.ini file
ActiveMods=<modIDnumber>,<modIDnumber>,etc

Then copy the mod-files from your single-player game into the servers mod folder.
The GUS will "load" them when the server launches.

I don't know if Ark's implemented any autoinstaller since I last did it manually - instead of copying them... or if your host or control panel has install features. But copying them is how I used to do it way back when I started. Hope that helps.

[floral pumice]

J:\arkserver\ShooterGame\Config and then DefaultGameUserSettings.ini is that the right file?

dude it says loading mods i think that was it

you did it dude thx so much

[floral pumice]

I cant learn anything mod related so its that the mods dont work properly or just that i cant bc my wifi is down

[floral pumice]

i have to mods in the server and i can see the engrams but i just can not learn them do you know what could be the problem?

[floral pumice]

can anyone help me pls 😭

anyone?

[native wave]

ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini
and in GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]

[hallow flare]

is there a way to find modded creature id in asa?

[distant hearth]

google, curseforge website and the mod id page, the specific mods discord if it has one, or beacon omni app all good resources for finding that sort info

[meager forge]

How do people find their EOS ID so they can be added to the 'exclusive join' list?
For PC, Xbox, Playstation

[distant hearth]

go into single player and type this into command console
whoami
shud give the eos id

[meager forge]

tried that, no luck, it just closes the console out with no output

[distant hearth]

hmm it used to work , havent tried lately though

[meager forge]

I was finally able to get to a point in Nitrado's website to actually be able to open a ticket so I asked them.
You'd think they would have info on their config for it or at the very least in one of their guides.

[plush cedar]

how can i prevent hibernation on a locally hosted non dedicated server

[distant hearth]

so i just tested this , it works fine, what you need to do is get the console into the bigger window mode, on pc u do this by hitting the console key twice .
mine is remapped but i think its the tilde key by default, the one just above tab far left

[meager forge]

ok, I'll try that now

got it, so it would be pretty much the same thing on consoles, whatever button opens up the console they would just hit twice and then type in whoami

[distant hearth]

im not familair with console but expect so yea

they will have just press buttons till it goes bigger mode if double tap dont work lolz 🙂

[meager forge]

I appreciate the follow up, I'm new to ark sa so trying to figure things out as I go

[floral pumice]

@native wave thank you so much it works now thanks

[floral pumice]

does anyone of yall know how i can reset things such as they player tames and builds without deleting my mods?

[tardy yew]

Anyone know how to remove the shovel engram off my nitrado server

[native wave]

Within the saved folder you'll find a directory named after the map you are running. Deleting the ark and bak files in that directory will reset the world without removing mods. Deleting the arkprofile, arktributetribe, and arktribe files will remove the characters from the server as well. For ASE, the arkprofile and arktributetribe files use the Steam ID for the name of the file, so you can select which accounts to leave if you want to.

for ASA it uses the EOS ID in place of the Steam ID in the arkprofile and arktributetribe files.

[native wave]

If you can get the engram Index or the engram class name for the shovel, you can use the OverrideEngramEntries or OverrideNamedEngramEntries in the Game.ini to hide that engram
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#OverrideEngramEntries_and_OverrideNamedEngramEntries
Unfortunately it doesn't look like we have that info on the wiki page for the shovel yet.

[tardy yew]

I appreciate that response 🤝🏾

[jaunty vortex]

Make sure you have the full console window open and not just the one line one

Ignore that. Willz already said the same thing

[ebon salmon]

New around here, tried putting this in the #ark-survival-ascended and #bobs-with-probs , but figured this is also setup I suppose. In ASA Single Player after Ascension OR Obselisk uploads, I'll try to download my character on scorched/another map, but when I do and try to spawn in after selecting the spawn region, my screen goes dark and I'm sent back to the character creator. My character is gone from the download list for good, but the game doesn't outright crash - I'm just forced to start a new character (I know I could admin a lookalike-clone, but eh). Thanks to backups I made in case something like this happened, I can safely say I've found no upload method in ASA SP to work around this. Anyone else experience this? Thoughts?

[granite steppe]

hi
after yesterdays Patch me and my friend cant connect to any games
is there a fix?

we cant join in any non dedicated games

[lost gust]

Not sure if anyone else is experiening this,
Every server restart currently is resetting our Decay timers on all structures and Dinos.
Anyone know anything that could be causing this?

[lean gorge]

hey ive got a problem on xbox where ark would crash after a couple hours of playing and reset a bit of progress ive uninstalled it and reinstalled it and all that stuff but it always keep crashing its only ark on other game

[ebon salmon]

Single Player?

[lean gorge]

yea

[ebon salmon]

This isn't just an xbox problem, but happens to me on PC a fair bit as well (also SP here). Every once in awhile, try running the SaveWorld admin command. This should make the game forcibly save a checkpoint of the game's current progress. I've heard this may not work 100% on consoles, but it's worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet

[lean gorge]

so what just do that every once and a while and it'll be good? (if it works)

[ebon salmon]

In theory yeah. As you mention, it's obvs dependent on the console command working. Right now theres been a ton of issues with SP saves rolling back upon crashes. For me, the "Save Game" button in the exit menu has been working out nicely, but the console command should also work

[lean gorge]

ok cool and ive also had this issue for a long time, a couple months ago i was playing ark but it kept crashing and i tried doing so much stuff to fix it but it never worked so i just stopped

[ebon salmon]

No that's so real. Some days I can go an entire session without a single crash. Other days I'll be jumping up and down with joy cuz my game survived the first 30s (not even joking lol). But yeah give it a try. Obvs it's not 100% gaurenteed to work, but it should help out more times than not...should lol

[hollow robin]

ok o i need a lil help my servers have not changed at all for months all settings are the same but all of a sudden i have a cupple players that cant craft anything they cant pick up anything and cant see anything in there inventry does anybody know how to fix this they evin have tryed to make new carectures and that still didint help any idea how to fix this

[sharp meteor]

anyone know a fix as to why i cant even see the summer bash items in my smithy on my private cluster even though i have the mod installed to all maps?

this is very frustrating any help at all would be appreciated

[hollow robin]

try this
#1 stop servers
#2 uninstall the mod
#3 start servers
#4 stop servers
#5 install mod
#6 restart servers

[sharp meteor]

still didnt work 😦

it says its installed but still nada in the smithy

thanks though

[lost gust]

are you using the Default smithy or a modded smithy ( Klinger for example )?
The Event items will only EVER show in the default smithy

[sharp meteor]

The default smithy and I've tried crafting a new one while having the event enabled

[distant hearth]

try loading it first in the mod order (second if on a modded map), some the others wudnt work if they wernt

[robust sky]

Can anyone help me with my baby settings? I would like them to be set at the values official uses for 2x. I don’t have access to beacon or I’d do it myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[uneven flame]

DO we need summer bash installed on club ark? People are saying they are not getting the shark skin

[placid pine]

yea its gotta be on both ark club and the main

[uneven flame]

ahh that would mkake sense but it does the summer bash intro without it so i figured it was built in lol

HexagonCostMultiplier=.75```
This will raise the rewards and lower the cost right?

[pulsar spire]

in the center in asa, i have to wait until the bossfight timer hits 15 minutes (or even 13 sometimes) for the element crates to spawn and the bossfight to end. is there a way to solve this?

[spice tendon]

custom cosmetics arent working properly on my nitrado server. i have the custom cosmetics enabled on the server and all clients but the only way anyone can see others custom cosmetics is if they also have it installed. this applies to ALL cosmetics (official ones as well). Any idea why?

[lost gust]

that seems to be normal
Some custom cosmetic mods - will show for others without having the mod installed - Some will show.
For example - Crazy Hats will only show if the other player has the MOD
However (I cant remember the name ) Other cosmestic mods will show for everyone even if they dont have the mod installed.

[lost gust]

that happens to a few players on my server.
Not sure why it happens however since the center is not a Ascension fight - you could in theory TP them out of the arena and just spawn them the element if they dont wish to wait.

[spice tendon]

interesting. this makes the power rangers mod a waste of money if no one else can see it.

[lost gust]

i think power rangers might be within the base game files ( hidden ) which means everyone has the files and can see the custom cosmetics but to "Access" it yourself - you gotta buy the mod

[spice tendon]

no one on our server can see it on the player (or dinos) who bought it on our server.

[lost gust]

Well thats just stupid on WC's end imo.
If they did it the way i mentioned, more would see it and think "oh thats cool lets buy it"

i guess WC cant even do their own mods better than our mod creators can 😂

[haughty badger]

did you ever find out if this would work?

[uneven flame]

I know they work.
But idk which way is increase/decreases

Its listed in the Config in the wiki and says they will scale the club ark settings

[haughty badger]

gameini or gameusersettings?

[uneven flame]

GUS.INI
[Server Settings]

[haughty badger]

sweet. ty

I bought a server from Nitrado and did 4 slots cause I don’t have much money, and only after I bought it did it tell me that I actually need to spend 20 more dollars to even play the server

[floral pumice]

where do i modify stuff such as game dificulty and taming speed for my server

[sharp meteor]

What do u mean try loading it first in mod order? The mods I have installed are club ark, awesome spyglass, summer bash and transferable element

[floral pumice]

Does anyone know??

[livid prairie]

Hi i wanted to play a survival with parados, omega, extinction core and pugnacia put after 1 launch it doesn't work anymore it keeps crashing

(i have temhe updated ling of pugnacia, the extinction core side loader, and my pc drivers updated

Ping me when you respond thx

[wise kindle]

At least 2 of those mods are immersive mods - meaning they wont work with other immersion mods. Pick one and play that.

[cold brook]

Hi folks my Club Ark server gives Connection Timeout whenever we attempt to connect to it from an existing map, or from the server browser. I am self-hosted (not nitrado). My commandline is as below:

Commandline: BobsMissions_WP?listen?SessionName="The Flat Ark Society Club Ark"?Port=7817?QueryPort=27075?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=27060?ServerPVE=True?MaxPlayers=64?ServerAdminPassword=REDACTED -WinLiveMaxPlayers=64 -Mods=1005639 -NoBattlEye -NoTransferFromFiltering -ServerGameLogIncludeTribeLogs -ServerGameLog -clusterid=REDACTED -ClusterDirOverride=C:\Ark Servers\ -UseDynamicConfig -ServerPlatform=ALL -noundermeshchecking

Can anyone advise?

[native wave]

QueryPort=27075 - Unnecessary, ASA uses EOS API and does not use a query port. you cannot add it to steam's server browser. ASE you could because it used the Steam API.
-ServerPlatform=ALL - Unncessary, by default crossplay for everything is enabled.

Other than that, don't see a problem

oh, listen is unnecessary too

[cold brook]

Alright, I hope they'd not cause an issue by being included as arguments if unnecessary. I've verified and reinstalled the server, and made sure my configs are correct. Not sure what else my issue could be here.

[native wave]

are you able to transfer between other servers in your cluster?

also, is this set:

PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False```

when you transfer you have to create a character on a club ark server. you cannot transfer the character off...only the items you get on the server

I do not believe having those options would negatively affect the ability to join

[cold brook]

I stripped everything out of my command line except for the below, it now works, so in fact it must be having all those unnecessary guys in there that made it break

Commandline: BobsMissions_WP -port=7817 -mods=1005639 -NoBattleye -clusterid=REDACTED -ClusterDirOverride=C:\Ark Servers

[native wave]

It's a unique map, so it's possible it could treat those differently from other maps

[cold brook]

Problem solved :)

Hrello, it looks like the bug is back. Auto-Decay won't work correctly.
We have a base and the player does not logged in in the last 2 weeks. But the timer like he has resettet today 6am (here we restart the servers). Before it was just buggy that the timer decrease over the also, even a tribe mate was logged in, but after server restart the timers are correct.

Anybody same issues? Old bases get not destroyed in this case...

[verbal halo]

is anybody running dragon on island if so can I join

[frigid vine]

Wrong channel 🙂 #pve-discussion or #general

[dusky onyx]

This Kinda off topic , but can we self host ark mobile server (not nitrado)

[native wave]

Best go to the ark mobile discord to ask that

No idea if that's possible. Edit: looks like it's more locked down...and nitrado is the only option.

[waxen robin]

anyone else keep getting PrimalDinoAIController crash? happening to me alot on Island map

cant figure out whats triggering it

[final nymph]

Does anyone know if the Shark Costume from Club ark is ONLY available on Official servers? I created a new world of my server cluster and made it club ark.. went there and played the minigame.. beat it, and still no shark costume.. Not only that but the costume isnt even showing up in the wardrobe... Locked or Unlocked.. its just not there.

[distant hearth]

club ark server needs the summer crash mod added, then once u beat the shark challnge and respwan a char it shud show

[final nymph]

ok. ill recheck everything and get back to yall

[final nymph]

soo... like an idiot I didnt have the summer bash installed on the club ark server I had just created... HOWEVER... I did install it, logged back into it, completed the mission again.. unlocked the shark costume but when I transfer back to my SE server.. the costume is not coming with me...

ive xferred back and forth twice now and my char is still wearing it on the Club ark server.. but its not coming over.

[native wave]

do you have the summer bash on both servers?

[final nymph]

yes

[hexed sundial]

im tryna port forward and when i first start up my server it appears in steams game servers on my end but then immediately goes does again. anyone know why?
also everything says the ports are closed and i have no idea what to try

[native wave]

you're not wearing it on SE, but do you have it in your cosmetics tab?

[final nymph]

no I dont have it at all on SE.. but when I go back to Club Ark its still on my character THERE.. but when I go to SE its not on me or my cosmetics tab

[native wave]

can you add the costume to your upload?

since your character doesn't actually transfer

also I think respawning should make it show up in your default survivor items

[final nymph]

might have to try the default survivor items.. I think I have that turned off.

how do you add anything to your uploads in Club ark?

[native wave]

bank I think

[vague sage]

where could I get help setting up a local server? I just need suggestions for setting values depending on how difficult i want the game to be

[final nymph]

ok so i am at the bank.. but pressing E does the same thing as just acessing my own inventory.. it brings up a screen with and inventory side on the left and an inventory side on the right the items i have on on the invetory on the right (like if it was the banks inventory) however I can go stand in the street and press I and its the same thing.

but when I try to transfer from the right inventory to the left I get this message : Item Downloads Disabled. Ark Item Downloads are disabled on this server.. I dont think that is a problem though. because im not trying to download to this server... its just like nothing is coming over with me.

ok so the items did come over to SE.. but not the shark costume

going to try turning on default survivor items though and dying

ok so that did it!!! had to have Default survivor items on!!!! Thank you for the suggestion! that fixed it!

[native wave]

not a problem. was just guessing at things as I haven't even stepped into my club ark server since before the summer bash update

[final nymph]

yeah this was the first time ive ever been in it was today.

I tried using admin commands to even just spawn the damned thing in so I didnt have to make a club ark.. but even that didnt work. it cant be spawned in

[native wave]

honeslty I'm in no rush...it's a mod so I can deploy it whenever. have it running alongside winter wonderland right now on my center server

[final nymph]

yeah made me sad they never came out with a mod for the easter event...

[native wave]

well that'll probably happen next year I imagine. It was just colors and rates this year due to scorched launching

[final nymph]

yeah

thank you for your help though

[waxen robin]

[lunar cloud]

looks like server crash. judging by the stack trace it seems dino AI related.
Best you can do is submit a bug report
https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/735196047944712235

[wise kindle]

If you won the game you just go back to your home map and die. When you respawn its in your cosmetics tab.

[final nymph]

not if you dont have give default survivor items checked and turned on.

[wise kindle]

One would assume you had this turned on and didn’t turn it off, but yes lol.

[final nymph]

nope.. in ASE you would have 50+ skins and costumes respawn in your inventory every single time you died.... i made sure to turn that shit off.

[wise kindle]

One would also assume you kept the tab clean so you can benefit from feature as well.

[final nymph]

theres no benefit from have 542,689,490 costumes and skins....

[wise kindle]

Ok. I wouldnt go for a new skin in that case 😉

But for anyone else out there who couldnt figure out how to get the shark skin to show up : win the mini game on Club Ark, go back to your map and then kill your character. If the mod is installed correctly on both your Club Ark and your home map, it should appear in your cosmetics tab. Enjoy 🙂

[jaunty vortex]

Start by telling us which game! It sounds like ASE if you’re looking in Steam.

[azure acorn]

is there anyway to find out the commands of a mod when they are not publicly listed

[toxic hazel]

If the mod has a discord could ask in there

[azure acorn]

it hasn't its used for another server but i like the look of it lol but commands arent listed so im guessing no hope and move on lol

[toxic hazel]

Yeee, if no listed dun think is a way

[final beacon]

Question. Can I transfer rescorces on the center to another map, the island? On unofficial

Like metal,gun powder, ammo stuff like that

[cedar smelt]

Hello so it's my first time making a dedicated server and I was wondering how I could join the world myself it always stays on the admin panel

[plucky surge]

when i host SP, my ragnarok terrain is normal but when i host non-dedi, i phase through alot of the terrain (meshes are bugged) and it really messes me up. Anyone know why this may be?

[charred oar]

How do i make a server for me and my friend?

[lusty wagon]

Can anyone recommend a virtual server provider to host ASA yourself? I'm so tired of nitrado

[late estuary]

Does anyone know of a whitelist URL that contains all custom cosmetics?

I have one, but it hasn't been updated since April, not sure if it still has ALL

[high forge]

Most likely but depends on the servers settings, ask the server admins.

[late estuary]

I made a new one. This URL contains EVERY custom cosmetic available in CF as of today's date. Feel free to use this in your server settings if you want:

It won't let me share the link actually. Message me if you want the list.

[delicate sage]

Does anyone know if Ark Server Manager for ASA is still in the works?

[toxic hazel]

Yeah, in live mode and running ma cluster with it

[delicate sage]

Can you link me to their discord?

[toxic hazel]

Sent invite 🙂

[delicate sage]

Thanks greatly 🙏

[toxic hazel]

Tis very handy and can link to discord bot recently for restarts and a couple others atm 🙂

[delicate sage]

Very nice. The old ASE manager was great too! It seems to still work. Went back to my server and apparently it’s been running the ASE server for months lol.

Dinos all dead lol.

[toxic hazel]

The old one was great, still got mine saved if I ever want to go back, Them poor poor dinos 😂

[cinder lagoon]

There is an hispanic server?

[high forge]

Check out Haruhost for another server manager, it's my now go to.

[gray fog]

How can I join my friend server without getting failed connection issue or connection timeout?

[toxic hazel]

Sound like maybe port forward needed maybe

[gray fog]

I already have a good wifi but for some reason I can only join official servers but when I try to join unofficial or non-dedication it gives me the connection timeout message

[wise kindle]

If you cant join unofficial then your friend wont be able to join you. Wifi does make a massive difference with Ark, so getting a land line connected would probably fix the issue.

[gray fog]

It already is and I got fibre and it doesn’t even lag it just I can’t join my friends server

[wise kindle]

You said you are on wifi. This needs to be hard lined to allow a proper connection.

[toxic hazel]

Your friend might need to port forward on his server?

[wanton flint]

Can me and my freind join someone’s server later at 7? Just wanna play with a couple people in a good server

[wanton zenith]

You currently can't. non-dedicated joining is broken

[gray fog]

Oh do u know when it’s gonna be fixed?

[wanton zenith]

nope, no response from devs for the past several days since the issue arose after a recent patch

[gray fog]

Oh ok ty

[wanton zenith]

I would keep an eye out on future patch notes, check if any resolve joining non-dedicated servers

[gray fog]

And is the problem only for console players or everyone got the same issue?

[wanton zenith]

as far as we can tell, everyone

[toxic hazel]

I got no problem unoffical, not tried non-ded

[wanton zenith]

It's only non-dedicated, not unofficial

[toxic hazel]

ahhh

[gray fog]

Oh well that’s a bummer

[wanton zenith]

so far I've seen both PC and PS5 players talking about the issue, but haven't seen any Xbox-specific player mention it yet

[toxic hazel]

Could always jump on a unofficial or offical together xD

[wanton zenith]

I play with my partner so any other would be no good for me, since we have our own efforts on N-D

[toxic hazel]

Like me and my mates cluster, just on that really

[wanton zenith]

@zealous aurora do you guys know that non-dedicated servers (joining, having others join you) are currently broken? they have been for nearly a week

[deep cosmos]

Anyone know any discount codes for nitrado?

[simple fox]

Hey everyone, had a question regarding the "Actor ID" variable in a few of the commands. I was having trouble figuring out how to get that variable's information. Best I could find through searching online was to use the "GetAllState" command, but that doesn't seem to be a recognized command anymore, and I couldn't get it to return any information. Could someone help me locate the "Actor ID" variable's information for specific creature types?

[neat girder]

When will they correct the unofficial list? only that rent serves nitrado appears in the main list.
What they rent from other companies has to check the box in the menu and not all servers appear, so you have to search with the name of the server.

Will this ever change?

[wanton flint]

Does anyone know of any good servers that I could join on evolved?

[pale sentinel]

#1110925695900713072

[broken halo]

Join U.S. of ark it's not super boosted has 5 maps and for some reason the club ark. But it's fairly small count and some nice people

[wise kindle]

If you select the “player servers” checkbox those are the selfhosted maps. Those its not always required to see them.

[neat girder]

yes, more on the main list and only on the server hosted on nitrado, that's horrible.
they force us to buy rubbish host company hahah
And that's why most of the big official Uno servers didn't create servers in this ASA

[wise kindle]

Just host with gravel.

[native wave]

no one forces you to do anything with ASA. you can host your own on rented servers, you just have to set it up yourself

[wise kindle]

Or with your pc. You arent that limited tbh.

[native wave]

the only limitation is with hosted ASA servers, where they setup the software for you and give you crappy support so you end up coming here to get stuff fixed

might have a little bias against nitrado

[wanton zenith]

my issue with nitrado is afaik you can't pay for much less player slots, meaning the price is much higher than any other previous server host for ASE which allowed me to select just 2 players, or at minimum 5, so the price is £10 higher

[wise kindle]

Use gravel. This needs to be on repeat lol.

You set your own slot count.

[native wave]

yeah that place is using pterodactyl, no doubt

[wanton zenith]

It's still 10 minimum and about the same price (after conversion), so nitrado and gravel are still not good options if you intend on playing with less players

[wise kindle]

Beats the crap put of Nitrado simply because you are your own full support system.

[dreamy aurora]

Does anyone happen to know how I can solve the problem why the server always crashes as soon as garbage collection is done by the server.

[river tinsel]

someone has been able to test this command cheat DefeatBoss PlayerID "Dragon" 2 doesn't work on my side

[toxic hazel]

Use cheat DefeatBoss 0 "Dragon" 2

or could try cheat [PlayerID] DefeatBoss 0 "Dragon" 2

I know the first works as used on someone in my server

[river tinsel]

yep i figured it out but it's not unlocking the related engrammes anymore

and there is no message

you have to die and check your implant to confirm it

[toxic hazel]

Maybe try a relog? this guy had his unlocked I think

Yeah you have to respawn for the bosses anyways haha

If not might have to unlock the engrams 1 by 1

Or use unlock all tek engrams

[river tinsel]

i tried, i confirm that it's just giving you the implant with the unlocked boss but no engrams

[serene silo]

ASA has been like that. i use cheat unlockengram for each tekgram (i know i could use GiveTekengramsTo)

[toxic hazel]

Anyone know if you can have exclusive join set and a password for players not on exclusive join?

[serene silo]

doesn't seem to for me. arkwiki also says "whitelisted players will still need to enter it." (it being password)

[toxic hazel]

Interestinggg , okay thank you

[wintry basin]

Why don’t people just use their own 200 dollar laptop and host? Works flawlessly? I started playing ark ASA. Never hosted a server before. I had everything working in like 30 minutes.

[wise kindle]

I wouldnt say flawlessly but yes.

[wide talon]

just wondering if non-dedicated servers got pc ps5 crossplay?

[wise kindle]

That is very unlikely to ever happen tbh.

[wide talon]

so thats a no?

[wise kindle]

Thats a no.

[wide talon]

bruh so if i wanna play ark with my friend we both gotta buy the game then i gotta buy ps plus then one of us have to buy a server just to play together

[wise kindle]

Yes.

[toxic latch]

To host a server on PC (unofficial) do I need a static external IP?

[toxic latch]

I've been racking my brain for over a week to get this done, but people can't join from outside my network

[jaunty vortex]

Not that I’ve been able to find. That idea is too sensible

[humble thicket]

First time Discord user and first time setting up a server (go easy on me lol). I can't seem to get my unofficial server started. I watched a bunch of different tutorials and still can't get it to show up on steam. I have a spare computer running just the server and nothing else (i5 12600k with 64 GB DDR5 RAM) so I know the hardware is good. I setup steamcmd, I installed ArkAscendedServer, opened up ports on the firewall, gave access to the ArkAscendedServer, opened the ports on my router (even though I can't see the server locally). It looks like the server loaded up fine and is running fine. It gave me all the information from updating and the line "Server: "The name I called it" has successfully started!" in the stamcmd prompt but I can't find it on steam using my other computer that has my Ark installed on it. Anything Else I can try?

[native wave]

ASA uses the EOS API, not the Steam API, so it will never show up in the steam server browser. Your best bet is using Battlemetrics to find it. That queries the EOS API to retrieve server information. If you can see it there, you should be able to see it in game

[humble thicket]

I didn't see it on Battlemetrics

[native wave]

then something is likely wrong with port forwarding

you do not need a query or peer port for ASA. only the game port is necessary

[distant hearth]

its likely either port forward issue or server start command/batch file issue.
sometimes asa servers show up an running in the window but arent actually working properly if command is wrong.
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Myservername" -port=8888 -winlivemaxplayers=10
example of a simple batch file that works if udp port 8888 is forwarded inbound through windows firewall and router

[jaunty vortex]

If you get the map name wrong (cough centre/center cough) the server will look like it’s running but isn’t.

[humble thicket]

Is there a certain amount of time I should wait for the server to boot before checking Battlemetrics or typing to see it locally?

[distant hearth]

they usually show within 5-10 mins at most

[sleek nacelle]

I’ve had issues with the same thing and it was an issue with the GUS.ini or the game.ini

[hybrid creek]

Can you help me if I post an error code here?

[tacit linden]

Any fix for items being duplicated on unofficial server transfers? Is this still happening on official?

[wise kindle]

This is server setup. Might have better luck in
#bobs-with-probs

[toxic latch]

You got a static IP?

[toxic hazel]

Port forwarded?

[plucky surge]

how come i crash frequently on non dedicated server but on singleplayer i dont

[humble thicket]

Yes I setup the local IP to be static on the computer that is hosting the server. I do have dynamic IP setup for my internet IP option for my router. Not sure that would make a difference.

I also used these commands in PowerShell to setup the ports on my PC

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7777,7778,27015 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7777,7778,27015 -Protocol UDP -Action Allow

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Outbound -LocalPort 7777,7778,27015 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Outbound -LocalPort 7777,7778,27015 -Protocol UDP -Action Allow

[humble thicket]

Do you remeber what you needed to change to get it to work?

[distant hearth]

im not familiar with network stuff , never set a static ip when i setup mine an it works , try doing the port manually incase for some reason script didnt work ,
It shud be noted to be listed an playable asa servers only need the one udp port opened, the default is UDP 7777, this can be changed with the -Port=xxxx command in the start batch file, i.e -port=5678
To allow it through windows firewall, search windows defender firewall, open it,click advanced settings,click inbound rules on the left , then new rule on the right,select port then click next,select UDP ,then in the txt box type 7777 for our example, change the number to what ever number you defined with -port=xxxx,click next, we want to allow connection so just click next again, we will allow everything so click next again, now we can name the rule , i just call it what ever port i forwarded , i.e 7777, click finnish and that part is done.

Also if you are using anysort of extra antivirus program, it too will likely need to allow connections

[round bison]

Hey, is there a way to set up a ark server with a 32 bit cpu?

[jaunty vortex]

I doubt a 32 bit CPU will be powerful enough even if it meets the other requirements.

You’re going back to Pentium 4 or Athlon XP days for that.

[humble thicket]

Thanks for trying to help me wit this. I did however try both different ways to get past the firewall (with script and manually putting in the port through the firewall). I'm also not running any extra antivirus. It's very strange since I feel like I've done everything I can think of to get this to work. I did try to see if the I could access the port on a YouGetSignal.com and it says "Closed".

Also I set up Port Forwarding on the router but still nothing

[distant hearth]

after the server has been running for a while , does it start giving out extra lines something or other about cleanup after the part that tells number of cores

[humble thicket]

Yes! right after it loads the map it says I have 10 core (I'm assuming its the CPU cores) then after about 10 mins it says something about GUI Cache

[distant hearth]

yep thats it, thats good seems the server is running fine then, narrows it down to port issue.

i know someone else had an issue where there isp wudnt allow game server hosting , i cant rem the specifics, so if ure sure you forwarded properly. It might be worth contact isp to check they allow it....
its all i can think of

since its not showing on battlemetrics

[jaunty vortex]

If the ISP is also using NAT it can cause an issue. You’d then have double NAT.

[native wave]

CGNAT

[humble thicket]

I checked the ISP port blocked list. Didn't see any that I was using

Wouldn't I be able to still access the server locally even if I didn't have port fowarding setup on my router

[native wave]

not in my experience

never been able to connect to mine locally

[drifting juniper]

Sorry this has probably already been asked and I suspect I know the answer but how do premium maps work for servers? I know that not everyone has to own premium mods to use them and they are still there in the game, but how does that work for a premium map I presume all players who want to play the map have to buy it it makes the most sense and seems very common sense but I just want to check so I know I'm 100% right about it 😅

[haughty badger]

As the ark additions creatures like Ceratosaurus have been added to base game, is there any reason to keep the mod on server? Will people that tamed one before it was added lose it like if there were a difference between base game version and mod version of the creature?

[distant hearth]

yes everyon must buy the mod map

[distant hearth]

afaik there still differnt versions so u need to keep the mod or lose those versions tamed before they got added, worth checking the mods own discord to be certain though

[drifting juniper]

That's as I thought makes the most sense, thank you just wanted to make sure 😁

[past iris]

hey all... maybe someone of you already had this issue and may help me:

I cant spawn in any modded item via blueprint spawncode (i.e. admincheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/CrazysPotions/Potions/Breeding_Reset_Potion/PrimalItemConsumable_CPLovePotion.PrimalItemConsumable_CPLovePotion'" 1 1 0)

I only get the message "Not allowed to spawn in this map" ... I tried it on EVERY map and its for EVERY mod...
I dont know why - i never had this issue before.

[lilac sand]

So, i have been having this problem for hours now.... my server keeps restarting. And before you say anything, it did that with and without mod, i also did the manipulation with the arktribe file , and also wiped the server not once... but twice. by wipe i mean completely reset the server by reinstalling. it did that even when i didn't change any stats or add any mods after the second reinstall (which was stuck for over an hour). Nitrado, as always, probably won't be of any help. I know there's prob no solution but to wait for the ticketS that i made to be answered but i wanted to try the discord just in case. Any ideas ?

[distant hearth]

how did you wipe the server? often just hitting reinstall it doesnt work, i always found it best to install another game to it, let the load up an work.
if that wont load its a nitrado issue.
If that works i then load ark back to it, leave it 30 mins or so to do it innstallation(no idea why they take so long),
once its up and running , then i see about adding things back, map and ini files, test, mods, test, save files test etc

[late estuary]

Is there a way to disable the summer bash intro? My buddy on PC keeps crashing when trying to join the server

[lilac sand]

I think you may actually have saved my day, just did that and it seems to be running like butter for now, no restart loop, no problem with the server or putting mods on. Sincerely, thank you, i wish you the best day

[bitter oriole]

For some reason when I hover over something in crafting, it doesn’t show me the requirements anymore. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It doesn’t even show my the name anymore

Including things that are in my inventory

[cold locust]

Salut Si jamais je fait du ark pvp mais fibrecraft je chercher une tribe on est deux mon psn zPhxrox pour ceux qui veulent rejoindre la tribe

[rain sluice]

I have a Rhynio in a cryo, the pic for the cryo shows a Yuti. When I hover over the cryo it shows 000 for all colors and can't deploy

[plucky surge]

#fanart-and-screenshots message need help

[toxic hazel]

You should be able to locally, if not something not setup correct. Im under a cgnat and can only access it locally so I use ZeroTier to create a 'local' network to play with friends

[toxic hazel]

I removed the Cera mod when it was added to ASA and I did not lose my Cera's 👍🏽

[hollow wasp]

can anybody help me? In my Ark, the eggs disappear and don't spawn. I even tried to get them with commands and they disappear out of the inventory

[haughty ether]

strange as Garuga has not yet implemented an update to merge the two

[toxic hazel]

That is very strange then haha

[haughty ether]

or maybe he has...the post i just checked was June when he said he was pushing an update out....i misread and thought it was July, apologies

I might have to test this out

[toxic hazel]

Yeah I had 2 on the island from the mod and when I heard I tested and they stayed 🤷🏽‍♂️ xD

[haughty ether]

Excellent news. I am trying to cut down on mods lol

[toxic hazel]

Yeah im the same but I keep finding more hahaha

[wise kindle]

Wait wut. We can remove the cerato and Xiph mods now?

Been waiting for the announcement for that for ages

[undone dove]

Hi, my Nitrado ASA server will not stop restarting. Please help!

[fair matrix]

would anyone maybe have an idea why when i transfer cryopods from my first server to my second server they are transfering dead thus destroying the dino ?

the servers use the same exact config and mods (cosmetics + npcs )

they are not clustered because i wasnt able to transfer at all while clustered.

regular uploads work fine , creature upload and download works but not cryod dinos

i also cant transfer with my inventory i have to upload it all seperate

@here 😉

[wise kindle]

You aren’t clustered. Thats why.

[fair matrix]

when i had the cluster setup i was not able to transfer my character at all. it would go thru the whole process and then fail and i would have redownload on the origin server

[distant hearth]

cluster works fine for most so i suspect an issue with your config or setup, self host or nitrado ?

[fair matrix]

both are self hosted on different machines on the same network

the 2 servers and 2 of the clients are on the same network on different machines

the issue persists with other clients on our server, not on the same network

[wanton zenith]

I wouldn't transfer dinos in cryopods, they were an issue in ASE and pretty much the same in ASA

[tidal zephyr]

if i were to add a premium mod to my server, would all the members have to purchase it in order to join or would it work like bobs tall tales or the pyromane

[livid reef]

why does my server allow rcon serverchat message commands but not broadcast message commands?

*also has the same effect from the server console

[wise kindle]

Premium mods require all players to purchase them before joining.

[tidal zephyr]

thanks 👍

[distant hearth]

they will need some sort of shared cluster directory, using -clusterdiroverride=<thedirectory>

I'm not good with networking so unsure how u do that across different machines, but this will be the issue . All the servers u want clustered must share same id and directory to save /transfer data too

[river venture]

Am I able to get help with ASE dedicated cluster setup here?

[distant hearth]

yea , its same process as asa , do you have specific problem ?

[fluid horizon]

Does anyone know if they fixed the lost host connection glitch on console yet for ascended?

[river venture]

When I try to search the server, it doesn't show up. When I add to favorites via steam client's "View/Game Servers" It shows up then if I don't use port, and it figures out the port correctly. If I tell it the port (7777) it can't find it. When I try to join via this, I get the error: "Unable to query server info for invite"

It is also trying to run New Years for some reason, even though I didn't give any active event, and followed the wiki's instructions exactly: [2024.07.14-20.34.39:170][ 1]Server attempting to run new years event [2024.07.14-20.34.39:170][ 1]Sever Is not set to official or running NewYearEvent argument [2024.07.14-20.34.41:127][ 47]Set New Years event location: -86711.156 - -171866.203 - 430.878

[distant hearth]

alot of the events no longer work on ase, the not showing issue is usually to do with port forwarding

[river venture]

I'm not trying to run an event though. It's doing this on its own. Also, I'm using AltSaveDirectoryName and the folder gets created, but there's no save files in it. That doesn't seem right

The ports are forwarded according to what the wiki said, and the firewall is also set up. I even used a tool to check that the ports are opened

[distant hearth]

the server thinks you are trying to run in it in the commandline far as i can tell , im not overly familkiar with ase self host tbh
altsavedirectoryname needs a specific path iirc

[river venture]

I am running it in the command line via a batch file, am I supposed to do something else? That's what the wiki said

[distant hearth]

?altsavedirectory=<filepath>
i.e
?altsavedirectory=c:\myserver

[river venture]

Ok it just now made a .ark file

First autosave I guess

[distant hearth]

yea they take 15 mins to save unleess told otherwise

[river venture]

Ok the listing in steam's "Game Servers" Even has a VAC shield logo by it and the latency, but it doesn't say the map or player count, and I still get the "Unable to query server info for invite" when I try to join that way

[distant hearth]

hopefully someone more familiar with ase comes along to help, but you can copy paste the txt from the start command/batch file here an i may be able to see any issuess, just put xxxx in place of any info you dont wish to share

[formal charm]

why are all servers dead on steam?

is win10 just better to play on

@quick cargo

[haughty badger]

Hoping for some help. I had a power outage earlier causing unexpected shutdown on my servers. Island, svartalfheim, and club ark came back ok, but having issues with scorched and center.
Scorched keeps crashing on startup.
Center will load up until I try and log in which causes it to crash. I tried changing the profilebak to arkprofile but still crashes. I also noticed each time I try and log in it creates and invalid profile arkprofile. I tried completely removing the profile, backup, and tribute which then I could log in but would be starting a fresh character. I tried bringing back just the arkprofile and it crashes.
Any suggestions?

[river venture]

@distant hearth I got it figured out. The slowness of restarts and such made troubleshooting quite a pain

[wise kindle]

Did you try rolling back to .ark backup?

[river venture]

I'm trying to have the same settings that official had. The GameUserSettings.ini file that was created when the server launched has a bunch of stuff in the [/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/TestGameMode.TestGameMode_C] That's filling in ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems. Should I delete this stuff or leave it?

[haughty badger]

Not yet. Would I roll to the backup profile and the overall .ark?
Is it an issue that my char was on a different server at the time of the last backup?

[wise kindle]

Ignore the profile unless you have an issue. The .Ark needs rolled back so it boots again.

[haughty badger]

The center server is booting. It only crashes when I try and log in with my char

Or was that suggestion for the scorched server that won't boot?

[haughty badger]

On center I just tried rolling back the .ark with the original .arkprofile for my char and it crashed again when I try to load in. It boots, but doesn't seem to like my char

[wise kindle]

Yes

[haughty badger]

Gotcha. Any suggestions on the issue with my char on center? Going to try that for scorched now

[wise kindle]

That is have no idea tbh. Tho a rollback there couldn’t hurt i would think.

[dapper igloo]

So, when is someone going to make a time traveling chair for single player ASA?

[haughty badger]

Ty for the help. That seems to have worked for scorched.
I tried a rollback on center but no luck. I think my character is just toast. When I try to open the arkprofile or profilebak in notepad it is totally blank. I know notepad isn't really great for loading those but normally it at least has some jibberish

[wise kindle]

Might try creating a character on another map and transferring over. Otherwise i dont know a way around it. Maybe someone else here does.

[haughty badger]

That would still be a fresh character but at least may be in the same tribe right?

[wise kindle]

No you would need to use an admin command to rejoin.
Go into admin, look at the tribe structure or tame and type:
Cheat forcejointribe
Then
Cheat maketribefounder

That should put you back where you should be.

[haughty badger]

I ended up digging up an old backup of my char from Feb. When i put that on center it was not in a tribe so i reverted to before that. Loaded that char on the island and was in my normal tribe. from there was able to transfer to center and was back in the tribe and everything. 5 month rollback on my characters progression, but thats not too bad

[fervent oxide]

Has anyone ever had an issue with starting a Nitrado server that just doesnt show up in ASA server browser?

[ebon estuary]

what did you start it under? pc or xbox?

[fervent oxide]

PC

[ebon estuary]

so unnoficial?

[fervent oxide]

yessir

[ebon estuary]

try relogging and also make sure it is turned on

fully log out of ark

[fervent oxide]

fully log out as in close the game or logged out from steam?

[ebon estuary]

close the game

[fervent oxide]

i've closed the game repeatedly while also restarting and shutting down the server but that hasnt changed anything

[ebon estuary]

hm have u gone to the other tabs?

[fervent oxide]

yee official, unofficial and non dedicated

[verbal vine]

Where can i play on ps5 evolved (the ps4 edition ) the single player want to start a world rn but dunno how need ps plus for everthing pls help

[fervent oxide]

tried the current names and the prior names, along with filtering for password protected

[river venture]

The GameUserSettings.ini that was created after downloading according to the wiki has a bunch of supplycrate modifications in it. Are those supposed to be there? This is for ASE. Like if I want to match official settings, I should delete this stuff right?

[lucid solstice]

There should be a default one. Use that. Otherwise look though what is confusing you, and learn what each does before adding or removing it

[river venture]

The default one only contains: [ServerSettings] DifficultyOffset=0.000000 NewMaxStructuresInRange=6000.000000 DayCycleSpeedScale=1.000000 DayTimeSpeedScale=1.000000 NightTimeSpeedScale=1.000000 DinoDamageMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerDamageMultiplier=1.000000 StructureDamageMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerResistanceMultiplier=1.000000 DinoResistanceMultiplier=1.000000 StructureResistanceMultiplier=1.000000 XPMultiplier=1.000000 TamingSpeedMultiplier=1.000000 HarvestAmountMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.000000 DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerCharacterStaminaDrainMultiplier=1.000000 DinoCharacterStaminaDrainMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=1.000000 DinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=1.000000 DinoCountMultiplier=1.000000 HarvestHealthMultiplier=1.000000 PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1.000000 ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=1.000000

[river venture]

Called DefaultGameUserSettings.ini in ShooterGame/Config. Is that what you're talking about?

[lucid solstice]

You can copy that one, rename it. Just don't get rid of the original

[river venture]

In steam community app/346110/discussions/0/3825286438461077682/, someone says it's to fix fjordur drops, which makes sense, as most of them refer to drops from fjordur bosses. So I should keep them then to match official settings right?

[river venture]

They're all CarchaSaddle, so my bet is that they added the Carch last minute and didn't want to go around and change the loot tables in all the code and instead changed the default config

Nitrado also has a page with the settings, so I think it's intentional

[pseudo glade]

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with settings for club ark. I have everything setup but people are unable to transfer items to our cluster. I copied our regular cluster ini over so I don't understand what's holding us back

[livid reef]

any reason my server's console allows serverchat but doesn't allow broadcast?

[pure haven]

Have anyone noticed that after last major update every time server restarted it refreshes all decay timers on map? Is there any way to disable it?

[shell plume]

If I was to buy a sever is there any hosting website that lets u have so little as 2 players??? or like under 10 cuz huh

[proper berry]

Not sure because it's been a long while, but when I used to host a server I used HostHavoc

[shell plume]

thanks!

ah it's only for evolved

[arctic lance]

Hey guys I'm new in ark can anyone guide me?

[jaunty vortex]

2nd star to the right and straight on until morning.

Are you trying to set up a server, arad?

[limber basalt]

Hey all, im trynna regain consciousness of my character on a old save i had, and even if i put the tribebak and arktribe from the same day of the save, I still have no control over my character and have to create a new one, is there any way to do it? would be nice since this is a yt playtrough and having to match everything with my old character is a bit goofy

[toxic hazel]

Sounds like what happened to me friend, his profile got corrupt but because he made a new character already it wasn't saveable, to save apparently can exit the game forcefully b4 making a new bob but didn't get to test it out

Could alweays try the forcejointribe command on the new guy and make founder or could make a new tribe and claim structures/dinos

[limber basalt]

yeah already did so, replicated xp levels and evrything else perfectly, thanks and now that I have u here, do u know the command to save game?😅

[toxic hazel]

Try SaveWorld to save all world settings if thats what ya after

[limber basalt]

senk iu

[soft geode]

is there a list somewhere or pdf with all the adjustable server settings?

[fresh plume]

Hi there, i've set up a dedicated SE server using steamcd, and it kinda works. From steam, can access from same network(outside of the router still doesn't work), by added to favourites, and for epic: going to single player and open the ip.
However, i launched another server on top of the first, as a cluster, but cant transfer from steam. Epic has to transfer, it'll lose connection, singleplayer, open the other ip, but its just not appearing on the steam's transmitter. There i can see other servers (who used the same cluster id from the tutorial), but not mine. Can join both servers from the menu's favourite filter(added to favourites through steam's serverlist by ip), but not appearing on the transfer list, from either map. Nor can search my servers through the unofficial filter.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix ? 🥺

[distant hearth]

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

[distant hearth]

#1 if it doesn't work outside of home work network, you have port forwarding issues
#2 to cluster the servers if there from separate installs u need the same clusterid and a shared folder for them, see the pins in this channel for more info, its like the 6th down, has the cluster info

[fresh plume]

shouldnt be forwarding. I couldnt join from epic until did the port forwarding, and i can now.
But i'd search the pins, thanks 😄

[distant hearth]

steam uses its own query port to show the server in listings , that needs to be forawrded tcp afaik, im not super familiar with ase servers tbh

[lunar cloud]

there are additional files i think you need the .arkprofile file for character data. if you take regular backups of those you should be able to restore characters

[keen willow]

Hello are there any mods that add the armor stand thinking of adding like that as a mod to my server

[late estuary]

Anyone know of a mod similar to Solo Farm Mod, but that lets you ride the dinos while they harvest?

[stark thorn]

What does this mean? Server hitch detected: Buff_PoopHit_C?

[lusty cave]

so are has anyone made a mod that allows ark to be fully singel player from start to finish

[late estuary]

Nanoh's Ascended Accessories is kind of aimed in that way, moreso making it possible to do everything without dinos

[lusty cave]

i should be clear i mean the first ark not the reboot

[lunar cloud]

ark ase and asa can be finished from start to finish as single player.
You can change ini files to adapt the server to your needs, no need for mods

[humble sierra]

How to download game for free before I pirate it

[crude socket]

Been trying aberration on a hosted server with one of my friends and we noticed that the glowbugs leave behind particle clouds that accumulate more and more the larger our playing session is to the point where there are massive areas of them stretching up into the air. Seen a few reddit posts about this but no real solutions, anyone have experience with this?

[untold granite]

anyone know a nitrado promo code thats current by the way? thankyou

[balmy heath]

Whats a good Playstation serverhosting website?

[bleak ivy]

ASA is only nitrado, ASE is nitrado and gportal I think for playstation.

[balmy heath]

Thank you!

[lusty cave]

so thats a no

[languid plank]

is it TheCenter_WP?

[bleak ivy]

yes, for ASA.

[languid plank]

yeah. so it goes through startup and then doesnt do anything and i cant find my server. it says it takes about 1.14 seconds to start the server

[bleak ivy]

its probably something in the bat file, post it with the IPs and passwords changed.

@languid plank just post the ark part, skip the steam stuff.

[languid plank]

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheCenter_WP?listen?SessionName=----?ServerPassword=----?ServerAdminPassword=----?MaxPlayers=70 -NoBattlEye -WinLiveMaxPlayers=70

its the same .bat i use for the other maps and have no issue

[native wave]

Unncessary:

?MaxPlayers=70
?listen

[languid plank]

ok, but its not causing the problem

[native wave]

didn't say it was

does it have an existing save file?

[languid plank]

no im starting a new map

[native wave]

I've had issues with something being behind the ServerAdminPassword before. so the MaxPlayers=70 might actually be causing issues

[languid plank]

the other 2 maps work fine with the same .bat string

[native wave]

in the string of parameters I mean, the flags can remain

just trying to make suggestions....don't know what else it would be

using the default port?

with no port command it will default to 7777

[bleak ivy]

make sure the ark filter isn't just blocking it. happened to me last time lol

[native wave]

that too, pc player servers, maps to set all maps

[languid plank]

was just playing on the island server and we are switching to the center. nothing else changed except the .bat file to the center. do i need to add anything for the pyromane? i didnt think so since its an add-on

filter parameters are the same thing i use for the island and scorched earth maps

[bleak ivy]

no, the DLC don't need any changes.

[compact forge]

Anyone elses unofficial servers decaytimer started to reset everytime when servers are restarted? 🤔 Noticed this when summer bash came.

[grim roost]

Hello,
I am trying to go into the game, which needs a mod update since i haven't been on for a few days. However, when I want to join my server, I get stuck on the downloading mods page, and it stays at 0% and it doesn't download anything. Could someone help me, please?

[wise kindle]

Remove that mod and download it fresh.

[drifting juniper]

Has anyone found an effective way to mitigate there being wild dinos spawning literally inside structures? Current a Bary and an Alpha raptor both clipped into the foundations of a base, which is large and protected by turrets. Radius settings are vanilla etc.

Edit:
Center map

[viscid estuary]

Hey @drifting juniper, are you using mods? I have the same issue here

[languid plank]

hmmm, its not running through the maps/submaps file and loading the map

[drifting juniper]

Yes, custom dino levels, WAF, klinger boats, peyalori cryo storage, super Spyglass, stop the steal, summer bash, pull it! And ludopark casino.

Here's the kicker though, these mods are on the other two maps I run too and only the center is having a problem

[viscid estuary]

The only mode we have in common is cryo storage, I have been raised a ticket in the modder's discord, several people are saying they have the issue there. Do you have the cryo chamber placed in The Center? I only have the issue in Scorched Earth where the cryo chamber is placed. @drifting juniper

[toxic hazel]

I got the Pey cryo mod on ASA SE with the chamber out for the pyros and not issue there for me

[viscid estuary]

Yeah, only some people is having the issue. Leaving some neutrals is helping some of them with the problem

[toxic hazel]

Grind to the root cause

[wise kindle]

I have this mod but we do not use the terminal and have none on our maps. We dont have dinos spawning in our buildings.
That said I dont see how a pod mod would affect spawns.
I would honestly blame WC for that kind of weirdness.

[undone hazel]

anyone know the reason why whenever i try to join a server it says waiting to start mods and just sits there the whole time

[proud tulip]

Anyone know how to change my server location? It gives me servers from EU but i want American servers.

[manic vapor]

Hi, is there any way to tell if I've downloaded all the DLC?

I have it all bought, I just am unsure of how to tell if I have it installed.

[manic vapor]

Are you hosting or trying to join a server?

[toxic hazel]

Right click the game in steam and go to Properties-DLC

[manic vapor]

Yes, but then what? I have the DLC, if it's there, does that mean it's installed?

[toxic hazel]

If its ticked then probably

[manic vapor]

But I can untick it so... I'm unsure

[toxic hazel]

Usually installs straight away/next boot of the game

[manic vapor]

Oh so start the game up?

[toxic hazel]

Yeah untick to uninstall

Basically if its ticked then you good bro xD

[lilac sand]

So, my maturation speed stat on my unnoficial server doesn't seem to work? no matter what value i put, low or high, it stays really slow.....

[distant hearth]

try it with a newborn baby or fresh hatched egg when u have the setting you want, often things already in the world wont work

[gilded copper]

I am having an issue. On beacon i set certain engrams to be unlocked at lvl 999(for admin use only)
uploaded to nitrado, codes look all good saying auto unlock(i have all engrams auto unlocked to be easier on players), auto unlock at lvl 999
BUT- I am seeing these engrams in the tables to be crafted-even before I enabled cheats. my character level is 105.
Possible all engrams are unlocked for me as i used unlock all engrams before, but i have a player that said she saw some items in her fabricator that she didnt think she was suppose to. which is why i went and double checked.
She is eating dinner and will get on after to double check if they are craftable or not.
in the list of engrams IN GAME they all still say at lvl 999, so why would she be able to see them in her table at all?
Does it have to do with modded crafting tables not listening to nitrado codes? I can't think of another reason why she can see these engrams being she's a regular player def not lvl 999.
Edit: Looked in the base game fabricator and see the same engrams.

[gilded copper]

She can definitely craft what she's not suppose to. They are still listed on her engram list for 999 but she can craft them. Guess im disabling them all again.

[light iron]

Where can I find the IP to the server?

[hollow lintel]

I was curious as to what the current server version is? I've been having issues with my servers suddenly not showing up, and I didn't know if it was due to a version mismatch.

[gilded copper]

48.16 i believe

[gilded copper]

do you have nitrado?

or is it a server someone else owns

[light iron]

no I'm very new, I'm trying to look for a big server that's at least somewhat english speaking and I was hoping the discord had a dedicated server

[hollow lintel]

That must be the issue then, thank you 🙂 For some reason my servers aren't updating past 47.2

[olive talon]

This discord is for the whole of Wildcard's Ark IP. This is not a dedicated server discord. You can look in #1110925695900713072 for unofficial servers.

[light iron]

Okay, thank you, do you have any you reccomend?

[olive talon]

I play my own private. Go look around in that channel, this is for server setup help, not searching.

[fierce junco]

anyone here experienced with shockbyte server hosting can help me out ?

[hollow lintel]

Turned out that replacing 'start' with 'call' in the .bat file allowed the server to update and it shows now. Thank you again @gilded copper

[frozen zodiac]

what is information? because I don't see the unofficial server news.

[faint tide]

When breeding the babies come out a lower level than what I have the levels set at

I have the max at 1500 at the babies come out to be lower than 500

What setting or ini do I have to change in order to get that to the way I want it or is that impossible

[olive talon]

Sounds like you're breeding tames that are a lower base level

[faint tide]

Nah the tame that are being bred are over lvl 1000

[wanton zenith]

that's how breeding works - you won't always get the max stats of both parents, often you'll get low ones and have to breed again. If you want to guarantee the levels, install "Better Breeding" mod

[faint tide]

I have that mod ig I’ll just deal with it

[humble thicket]

so i need help with changing the base recipe for certain things like heavies and stuff

(im using nitrado)

[gilded copper]

you mean like adjusting the crafting costs?

[robust nymph]

Anyone have a fix for dino decay timer resetting all the time? Been happening about a week.

[humble thicket]

Yuh

[robust nymph]

Need a way to kill an offline player without getting close to them.
The server crashed 4 days go.
Every time they log in, it crashes the server instantly.
If anyone gets near their base, it crashes the server instantly.
I had red gun out and faced down as I teleported to their body to kill them, but the crash had started before I even had time to shoot.

They're a long term trusted player. We're not expecting any weird stuff to be going on, on their part. But we have no idea what's going on.

[lunar cloud]

try cheat killplayer <id> command ? https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#KillPlayer

[robust nymph]

Nope doesn't work offline

Was one of the first things we tried

[lunar cloud]

Excuse the pun, but I think you have a pickle right there 😄

I would take a backup of the server, try to restore it to another machine to make a playground where you could test things without breaking your current instance. Then try to remove the players profile, then ask them to relog and see if that helps (they will get char creation screen) see if creating new char and log in fixes it.. then restore old profile and retry - could be a corrupt profile type of thing and if it is you may have to use admin commands to add them back to their tribe, give them ownership of their tribe\structures\tames etc and use commands to restore their levels etc.

Other thing is remove mods one by one and test if a specific mod is causing it, could also help.

[topaz smelt]

Hi, im in stump i trusted a close friend to set up my server and hes done somethings wrong and also told me hes not doing my drops for me , i know this is a big ask but is there anyone who can help me please?

[hardy marten]

is anyone wanting an easier way to have servers for yourself and your friends?

[hardy marten]

i had a shockbyte server for my old ase servers and it was not an enjoyable experience and when i cancelled they continued to charge me for 6 months

[humble thicket]

Any ideas how?

[balmy heath]

Does somebody know if or how u can get moddeddrops ?

[exotic stone]

anyone eles have problems with servers showing up

[humble thicket]

Certain code for the game

Is it single player or nitrado?

[plain snow]

Hello Guys,
We have problem on unofficial server with coping things in inventory when travelling across the servers. We have all three maps and this happening just on The Center and just steam players. Do you have something simillar or somebody solve it ?
Nitrado server, already try to reset all settings and play alot with settings and more.
Thanks for any feedback

[native wave]

public and nitradopc have not been updated yet

[distant hearth]

place your bets now, 1hr or 6hr lolz

[celest halo]

Why would they update them fast it's only an major update that makes it so you can't connect to your server

[native wave]

1.5 hours

[hard rapids]

not again

happens every time

[hard rapids]

yeah good thing i kept my client open

im just gonna restart the servers in 48.xx

there isnt a way to open asa with .exe like in ase right

will just show player1 at the left

[hardy marten]

1hr or 6hr what?

[hard rapids]

how long it takes for public to update to 49.xx

[jaunty vortex]

until unofficial gets updated

[distant hearth]

till they release the patch to unofficials

[broken halo]

I got 20 on 2.5 hrs lol

[timid tiger]

I don't understand why the server version always comes out so late. I think that's intentional.

[distant hearth]

lack of testing, id guess, easier for them to revert officials after they fuck up . than remove a release from the other databases

[native wave]

they test the patch on officials first and hold back the unofficial update to confirm there are no major issues. let the officials have the fun of a broken update

[distant hearth]

i had high hopes on release with those test servers, that soon went out the window

[timid tiger]

And in the meantime, non-officials can't play. What does Wildcard expect? That they all go to the officials? HAHA.. good joke.

[gilded copper]

Sorry was away from computer. Do you have beacon?

[native wave]

same

[broken halo]

Wasn't the only reason they stopped those cuz it was too toxic?

[distant hearth]

makes me sad, such a simple thing that wud improve the issues 90% time

[jaunty vortex]

nitradoPC just updated

[distant hearth]

no idea, probably a money thing, servers cost, then having to spent time going over the reports, bugs etc

[broken halo]

Gotcha thought I read it a while back but may have been one of their other side projects

[jaunty vortex]

public updated

49 minutes, a new record

[broken halo]

Well that's a shock who had 30 min ?

[jaunty vortex]

maybe 😉

[broken halo]

Yeah I'm gonna hold for a little lol

[distant hearth]

my 1hr was close but i expected longer haha

[broken halo]

Closest so far ....you win lol

[distant hearth]

naw id of bet 6

anyway i got make food, have fun with all the nitrado boot loops 🙂

[broken halo]

Honestly I would have too but I was trying to be optimistic lol

.. I couldn't do nitrado again

[humble thicket]

That costs money tho

[jaunty vortex]

not for the basics it doesn't

oh, you're looking for crafting costs.

[spare stream]

Servers still won't come up for me. Nor is it showing any mods that I've installed. It's like the whole game broke after the update 😕

[distant hearth]

its worth every penny, here i did this in a few seconds, changes heavy turrets to cost 1 of each item
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemStructure_Turret_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=True),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_ChitinPaste_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

you can figure out everything else from that, have fun 🙂

[humble thicket]

I’m broke tho lmfao

Also tyvm

[distant hearth]

you have to do the hard work then 🙂
its all on the old interwebs if you google,
here is a good start
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[humble thicket]

itll be easy :>

[toxic hazel]

Yeee gets quite easy to make em as wel from scratch

[distant hearth]

#announcements dont remove summer bash from servers is what i get from this

[hard rapids]

oh yeah

[jaunty vortex]

I wish they were clear and said whether to run it as passive or not

[toxic hazel]

Damn gotta deal with the annoy intro xD

[distant hearth]

but the event is not currently active
seems to me like they just made it passive

[jaunty vortex]

even for those of us running our own servers?

[toxic hazel]

Until the merge I believe you will lose all the event stuff

[feral fractal]

anyone stuck in restart loop ?

[distant hearth]

that what it implys to me, but prob leave it running for now till some others test if ure unsure 🙂

[jaunty vortex]

yeah. Would be nice if they said, leave it running or make it passive or remove it

[distant hearth]

thats too simple and easy

[native wave]

no

that announcement only applies to official

[jaunty vortex]

that's what I thought

[distant hearth]

if they dont have the data added to base game, removing mod means the players lose summer items though ?

[native wave]

correct

[toxic hazel]

Who's going first then

[jaunty vortex]

usually they tell us to move it to passive mods

[native wave]

leave it active or make it passive, one of the two, until they add the event items to the base game. Do not remove the mod until then.

[distant hearth]

im cooking food , i aint risking burning it to test lolz sry

[native wave]

I'm leaving it active. I intend to leave it active and add fear ascended when it comes out. I'll start over when the Turkey Trial hits and start adding them all again

[drifting juniper]

Sorry I forgot about our conversation lol. No we have cryo chambers, fridges and terminals numerous of each as we're public on each map and only having an issue on the center. That being said this does come after the terminal range thing so you could be on to something there, I'll head over to the mod discord

[frigid vine]

Hrello. Should we now use summer bash as passivemod or regular?

[native wave]

if you don't want it active, make it passive. It has not been added to the base game yet

[jaunty vortex]

we don't know

[frigid vine]

The last post was confusing... in general they mention if we have to use -passivemod=XY

[broken halo]

OK summer bash questions continue to use mod it is not added to base game it is not currently active on official but is still showing as a mod because it's not been added to base this is wildcard work around for official

[feral fractal]

Anyone with mods on there server updated fully yet ?

[native wave]

To make a mod Passive (and preserve in game items but not have the mod active):
Add the mod id to the front of your mod list. Add
-passivemods=XXXXX to your command line and preserve the order of passive mods to how they are listed at the start of the mod list.
example:
if mod list is this:
-mods=passivemod1,passivemod2,activemod1,activemod2....
then your passive list should look like this:
-passivemods=passivemod1,passivemod2

[small hazel]

I tried loading Summer Bash mod both as active and passive. All items from the mod disappear after opening a smithy.
Can see the item count still but the items are gone/invisible.

[native wave]

the items to craft will disappear when you make the mod passive. items you have already crafted should not disappear

[small hazel]

It doesnt matter if I load the mod as active or passive. The result is the same. As soon as a smithy is opened I can confirm that the engrams for crafting is not there and all items in all other containers goes poof.

Did a re-download mods on startup. Results are the same.

[native wave]

to make a mod passive the mod id has to be in both mods and passivemods

[small hazel]

Yes, did that.

[native wave]

then I guess their passive mod functionality is broken....great

set it back active and restore from backup

[small hazel]

same thing. If I load it only as active, items still disappear when a smithy is opened.

[native wave]

let me see how mine acts. I haven't taken mine off active yet

[small hazel]

Pls do. Would be good to confirm if this a local problem or a general one.

[native wave]

I have the skins from the event mods I have active....summer bash and winter wonderland

[toxic hazel]

Think i had that issue with a mod before, updated and lost all my modded stuff, when i restored from a backup it still weren't there

[native wave]

make sure the backup is from before the update

[small hazel]

I will try, but poking around in a smithy does nothing for you?

[native wave]

nope, affects nothing

do you have your holiday tab in the smithy?

[feral fractal]

My server hasn’t updated yet , should I wait or ?

It just says a new update will be installed

[native wave]

you're fine if you don't remove the summer bash mod from the active mods. there seems to be some issue if you try to make it a passivemod

[feral fractal]

On nitrado I did a server restart and just been stuck waiting for it , is there something I should do ?

[native wave]

nitrado restarts take a while. just wait

[small hazel]

So to clear some things.
I got the update, I have a auto-update script running on the local server.
Did not change anything in the launch options and the mod loaded as active.
Had the issue on first startup with items disappearing after opening the smithy.

Now I have tried to load a backup from before the update and the results are the same. Same issue. No passivemods, no changes, no nothing.

[rocky viper]

Anyone knows the exact code for Game.ini to add Rhynio to spawn on thecenter swamp for unofficial? Tried but it didn't seem to work

[distant hearth]

@thundergod has it on the wiki page i believe

[steady kettle]

All yalls game broken too?

[rocky viper]

Thanks, I checked the wiki https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Rhyniognatha but no info there that might lead me to resolve this. If anything this is the code I used in Game.ini:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp_C", NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RhynioSpawner", EntryWeight=0.1, NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Rhynio_Character_BP_C"))), NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Rhynio_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

This is for ASA just in case that info is needed, appreciate the help

[distant hearth]

it needs the full blueprint path iirc , lemme try find the link

bah i cant find it, sry for the tag @native wave

[small hazel]

After shutting everything down. Validating files, mods and restarted everyting. Things are back to normal.
Mod loaded as active and mod is working as before. Can still craft all the summer bash items.

Ark does the funniest things..

[distant hearth]

ark be doing ark things as ever then hahaha

[native wave]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/User:ThunderGod97/SpawnWork/#Rhyniognatha

currently with that code, my center map has 2. the deinosuchus may be affecting the spawns, not sure

[rocky viper]

I appreciate this so much, thank you!

[native wave]

there's 88 deinos on my center map. might need to cut those back a bit

[rocky viper]

I'll include the ini for rhynio and boot up the server and see what needs to be changed with deinos and then adjust as needed, but i appreciate this, been trying all day xD

[native wave]

I'm starting by adjusting the deinos down to a more reasonable level, I'm thinking 40-50

Dino Tag for it should be DeinosuchusAA

testing shortly

[distant hearth]

random thought , i presume u know
cheat slomo 100

makes testing faster , i found sometimes it took a few in game days for everything to populate fully

[native wave]

already know

I can also just go check on my dad and wait a bit before checking the server

wrong direction.....88 to 148

scorched earth spawns....seem a tad weird. red oasis and northwestern mountains south of the blue ob

5 on that map

second center update:
1 rhyniognatha
56 deinosuchus
111 sarco

[covert relic]

can anyone explain passive mods

[native wave]

passive mods should work like above...they may be broken right now though. take a backup before you try

[covert relic]

so should i have summer bash as a mod aswell?

oh nvm

[gilded copper]

Give me a moment, I just got home. I'll see if I can get the code from my nitrado account.
And beacon does cost, yes, but it's a godsend for setting up a server lol

[covert relic]

ok so i loaded summer bash as passive mod and kept everything except for the pickaxe and hatchet skin for some reason

[native wave]

yeah setting mods passive may be buggy

[gilded copper]

This is what 1 of the Codes look like to change Crafting Resources. So much easier to do with Beacon.

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Gaia_FireImmunityElixir_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_Organic_C",BaseResourceRequirement=365,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_RareFlower_C",BaseResourceRequirement=280,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Sparkpowder_C",BaseResourceRequirement=450,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_FireWyvern_C",BaseResourceRequirement=5,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_FireEssence_C",BaseResourceRequirement=25,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleBullet_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

[humble thicket]

Yh but I’m broke lmfao
