[solid jetty]

no problem

[jaunty vortex]

if you have a D drive it would be better there than C

I personally don't like running anything from the root of C

[solid jetty]

i use D

[jaunty vortex]

good man

[distant hearth]

i explain it for c drive but do specify to change the drive letters for what ever u use

[solid jetty]

will it not conflict? if i use D had that issue before

[jaunty vortex]

If people can't change C to D then they probably shouldn't be making an Ark server

[distant hearth]

ive ran it from both c,d,e and f drives on my system without noticing any issues

i tried running it from a usb stick, did not like that lmao

[jaunty vortex]

I don't know what folder Willz says to use but you can name it anything really

[distant hearth]

you wud be suprised lmao , pretty sure 99% of people i sent that guide too barely knew how turn a computer on

[jaunty vortex]

I've worked with people like that...

there's a surprising number of people in IT who have never built a PC or installed Windows

[raven notch]

hi, question for ASE servers

the gather rates on my server are 10x, but i specifically want to config it so that the gen2 space biome is 1x farming, in particular element cycle

does anyone know how to implement this?

[solid jetty]

ngl i have some computer knowledge, but i dont know how to code or anyting, used to mess with runescape sources when i was younger, could customize them and stuff but couldnt hard code anyting in, only use tutorials XD iv done ark se servers to

[distant hearth]

you wud have to use a specfic mutiplier for each harvesting item , then change the element one to 1x , summit like this ,

HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",Multiplier=10)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C",Multiplier=1)```
obv you need a line for each harvestable item

[raven notch]

tysm

[solid jetty]

okay so im about half way through. it gave me the option to make a firewall exception

is this server cross plat by default?

[distant hearth]

yes

[solid jetty]

okay le me check

[jaunty vortex]

yes to both

[solid jetty]

okay so its timing me out

when i changed from public to private do i need to remake my static ip settings?

no theyre still setup

[distant hearth]

well fuck , i have no idea then , its always just worked , i never messed with any of my internet settings, left them as they were , just put the exceptions in the firewall an router

[solid jetty]

i feel like its my firewall

cus before i reset to default could get on

let me make inbound and outbound exceptions again

[jaunty vortex]

when you run willz server the first time it should ask you to allow that

don't need to do it manually

[solid jetty]

yeah but before i reset my firewall i could get onto it myself

now i cant even connect

after changing my network from public to private and resetting my firewall i now cant connect.

so its something within this realm preventing me from accessing it

[jaunty vortex]

OK, slow down

leave your network on private

[solid jetty]

okay

[jaunty vortex]

reset your firewall to defaults

then start up the server and it should ask you to allow the firewall rule

[solid jetty]

okay allow on private networks. should i tick public to?

[jaunty vortex]

nope

[solid jetty]

okay

access allowed to private networks

[jaunty vortex]

you're not using your PC at starbucks

Public is for laptop users who use public wifi

[distant hearth]

my network is public im 99.9% ive never changed it , i assume its becuase im on bt and they have a this thing where any customer can connect through there seprate hotspot thing to any router ?

[jaunty vortex]

can you not turn that off?

[distant hearth]

probably can , i never bothered

[solid jetty]

should i start my port forwarding again?

[jaunty vortex]

You sure your broadband isn't slow because one of your neighbours is using it?

[jaunty vortex]

no, it should be ok

we can come back to it if not

[solid jetty]

okay

timed out again

[distant hearth]

i can see whats connected to it so dont think so lmao

[jaunty vortex]

did you get the prompt for the firewall, Bob?

[solid jetty]

yeah

[jaunty vortex]

OK

[solid jetty]

still timed out tho on connect

[jaunty vortex]

server name?

[solid jetty]

yourservername

not changed anything yet i wanna see if i can connect before i customize it

[distant hearth]

shows a srunning on battlemetrics, 92.232.241.249:7777

[solid jetty]

yeah thats my public ip

[distant hearth]

but that just shows the server is running, not that its joinable

[jaunty vortex]

Trying to join now.

[solid jetty]

joining now, nmap still says ports closed to

[jaunty vortex]

timed out

[solid jetty]

timed out also

should i change back to public and see if that changes anything?

[distant hearth]

can you reset that part back to defaults too ?

[solid jetty]

which part sorry

[distant hearth]

it seems since you messed with that, it stopped you connecting

[jaunty vortex]

NO!

[distant hearth]

the public , private thing

[jaunty vortex]

I just ran a port scan on 7777, not open

[distant hearth]

like reset anything you messed with to default

[jaunty vortex]

leave it on private, you can reset the rest

[distant hearth]

then redo the forwarding

[solid jetty]

since i changed to private i cant connect

[jaunty vortex]

mine is on private

can you screen share on discord?

[solid jetty]

sure how i do that 🙂

[jaunty vortex]

no, I'm asking if discord has the facility

[solid jetty]

oh god knows XDD

[distant hearth]

it does

[solid jetty]

ill google it

[jaunty vortex]

because it might be better to see what you're doing and what you've done

[solid jetty]

i have no mic though which is annoying.

we have to be in a voice chat with sharing enabled

[jaunty vortex]

you can prob do that without actual voice though

I don't have a mic on my PC either

you want to be on this W1llz?

[solid jetty]

we need to create a seperate discord or something

no vc channels here

[distant hearth]

norm wud but i have to get off for abit sry

[jaunty vortex]

no worries

[distant hearth]

make a private call, then it chud give option to screen share iirc

[jaunty vortex]

yeah, i was going to say that

[distant hearth]

if you need to say anything without mic, open up notepad make the font bigger an type it out, done like that before lolz

[solid jetty]

lol

ull have to add me john it says ur not accepting friends

[jaunty vortex]

you can still chat like this

I'm like that 😉

[solid jetty]

XD

[violet lark]

Any recommendations for ASE Xbox server hosts?

lots of contradicting stuff on reddit

[olive talon]

The only provider for ASE for Microsoft is Nitrado. The only way to rent an xbox/Microsoft PC server is to download the Nitrado app from the Microsoft store and rent the server through the app. After renting, you can set up the server from anywhere, website or app.

[violet lark]

thank you sir, perfect answer

[olive talon]

Yeah I'm not a sir or a man, but you're welcome.

[violet lark]

my bad, thats just my default lol

[solid jetty]

does anybody know why on my becon app for editing server stats, i dont have a stats section for editing stat affinity?

[last hornet]

@solid jetty Very bottom, if using for Asa you need beacon omni

[tough oracle]

Is running two similar mods going to cause me issues? Example automated ark and arkomatic?

[distant hearth]

possibily, its generaly not a good idea to use two mods that do similar things

[tough oracle]

And if two mods say use the smithy but do different things is that bad too?

Piggybacking off that if it adds a S smithy and another adds a x smithy to do different things is that not a good idea?

[sudden hollow]

anyone had no creatures spawn in any of the caves on the centre on nitrado server?

[distant hearth]

there is no hard an fast rule, its trial an error, my advice has always been , use as few mods as possible, save yourself future headaches

you have an early access game that gets major updates regularly, add third party mods to it an you get issues

[tough oracle]

Ok I’ll tone down my 98 mods then lmao hopefully it’ll all work after

[green tangle]

How can I set a mutation limit in game.ini?

[distant hearth]

not possible far as i know, you can set a dino cap level like officials use that destroy anything over x level is all

[last hornet]

Use qol it’s better

[solid jetty]

yeah i dont have becon omni, is there a place that shows the lines i need to manually add in to edit stat affinity?#

[last hornet]

You’ll have to past into game settings if not using Omni

[distant hearth]

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

[solid jetty]

ty

[distant hearth]

the free version of beacon does alot things though, not sure on the stats though, had it so long i forget what is an isnt free

[tough oracle]

What does “warning invalid index at item class at 67 in “filterable items

Mean

Ok now having pc server show on Xbox again

Says on on battlemetrics

All i did was remove a few mods

Nvm

It never saved my passwords

[drifting rose]

Hi everyone can anyone help me with club ark I just added it to my cluster and I could use some help. I can't transfer the objects tells me that the transfer is not enabled but I have everything unlocked on my cluster. Can someone please help me?

[obtuse thicket]

Does anyone know of a way to turn off the Transfer Limit? I'm playing SP and every time I try and take an items from the Obelisk I get this screen that says "Refreshing ARK Inventory....." which takes up the whole screen and prevents me from doing anything, including defending myself. I've literally had to Alt + F4 to get it off the screen as it sat there for 30 minutes at one point.

I should add sometimes it goes to "Refreshing ARK Inventory Failed. 006 - Timed Out." but most of the time it requires an Alt + F4 to get out of the screen.

[olive talon]

Transferring into club ark is hard-coded to not be allowed, settings won't change it

[jaunty vortex]

You can get anything you win or earn from the terminal at an obelisk.

[drifting rose]

Thanks for the answers. Another question: Is it possible to change lottery and cashier prizes?
Can you add mods to the ark club server?

[sage cosmos]

just curious for some help, how do you enter commands in steamcmd, i am entering it as i would in game, but there is no prompt in the server that its accepting the command, so i assume im missing a step, anyone know how its done?

i want to be able to enter commands when i am not home that is why im trying to figure this out

[jaunty vortex]

Oh. You need rcon access.

[sage cosmos]

i have the ports set up, but how do i access it

[jaunty vortex]

Need a client.

[distant hearth]

steam command is just the program used to install the server, if u mean the actual server window once its running, then you cant. only via join game or use an rcon connection

[sage cosmos]

oh, in ASE you could enter commands in the server window

and i swear i was doing it when ASA first launched i just cant remember how to enter the commands, not sure if i need "--" around the commands or what

[jaunty vortex]

Pretty sure you can type commands into the bottom of the server window.

[sly storm]

Hey guys, been scouring the interwebs and have a couple noob questions here if someone would be so kind as to answer.

1. Is it possible to privately host your own unnoficial ASE server for Xbox on a dell blade server similar to how you can for ASA without having to go thru Nitrado?

2. If using SteamCMD to create/setup the server, is it only accessible via steam on pc or can consoles connect also?

[distant hearth]

xbox ase servers can only be got through nitrado, they have sole rights to them

[distant hearth]

hmm , i have no idea then , prehaps i just never figured out how but it doesnt seem have anywhere to input anything

[sage cosmos]

i dont believe thats correct

[sage cosmos]

there are down arrows in the top right corner that open the command line, i just cant get the commands to enter

[sly storm]

Drats ... I feared that may be the case, but was hopeful someone had figured out a way around it. I've gotten an ASA cluster running successfully on my own hardware surprisingly easy, but such a resource hog for each map. Was hoping to be able to run virtual servers for ASE and have a larger ase cluster instead without the price tag of hosted options thru Nitrado.

[distant hearth]

for ark evolved it is, it was why i was forced to use them for years when i was on xbox

[sage cosmos]

no, you just have to buy the windows version of ASE, and run the dedicated map from there....

[distant hearth]

ah that makes sense now why i never saw the dedicated server button, its not on console version , well thats twice today you taught me something new, thank you

[sage cosmos]

also, ASE on xbox is just bad lol

[sage cosmos]

no problem, ive been running servers since 2016, so ive got some experience, but i normally have it set up to just be totally automated, but people keep requesting things and rcon will help with that

[distant hearth]

i was just messing with the server window, i cud get doexit to work, so must be only certain commands prehaps

[sage cosmos]

i was also the first person to have a dedicated ASA server running the day it launched when people were saying it doesn't work, and i also think im the only one who has an exclusive join list working, at least no one else has anything out there how to do it.

[distant hearth]

most people know now you need to use the eos ids, its on the ark wiki how do it

[jaunty vortex]

I use exclusivejoin on my servers.

[sage cosmos]

the ark wiki doesn't work and actually allows EVERYONE to join your servers unless things have been fixed, but at the time they added it, it did not work

[jaunty vortex]

Mainly because for my console players it’s easier than passwords.

[distant hearth]

they prob changed it, when i was testing it out, had it working fine

[sly storm]

Agreed, but better the woes I know VS the constant issues I've had with ASA.
Personally I play on pc, but this cluster is for a smaller group of family, so hard to justify the cost of the monthly subs for each map if I could do it on one server at my house

[keen monolith]

How do I make custom loot drops

[sage cosmos]

why kind of issues, ive had 0 since launch on my cluster

[tribal thicket]

Hello, I'm having an issue with my server not starting, if anyone can help? Ty.

[molten palm]

@distant hearth I just wanted to say thank you again for the help. It was the Death inventory keeper mod. It was no longer updated and was therefore faulty. We replaced the mod and now everything is working again. Thanks 🙏

[sly storm]

Aside from the regular Ark issues we've all come to know and love/hate, Most have just been with update handling and map corruptions via the Nitrado hosting solution. Everytime there's an update I usually spend a couple hours dealing with rollback and having to restore db's, even on maps that have had minimal play; with no mods installed.
The small cluster I'm testing now on a single blade server and privately hosting myself seem promising, but I'm limited to the number of servers I can run on one box due to Hardware. Got a few other blades I can fire up as new maps are released, but was hoping to find a solution for ASE, keeping needed resources, upkeep/overhead costs as low as possible.

[celest halo]

Most of the issues I would blame on Nitrado

I haven't had any issues with my self host servers for ASA and right now I have 4 maps running

And ASE I had 6 maps going at one time without issues of having to load a save to fix

[river seal]

has anyone experienced issues with admin commands not working? on a new server (nitrado)

[sage cosmos]

yea, dont use nitrado....

[sage cosmos]

my cluster is automated and i never have to touch anything

[humble thicket]

Anyone having issues today? Purchased a brand new server and it’s been over an hour and it won’t start, not even when I try to force start. Haven’t installed a single mod.

[analog mica]

for setting config does it need to be in both game.ini and game user settings

[solid jetty]

Any idea how I can kill myself on my server when I'm not on it? My character is nulled in a cave 😃

[distant hearth]

some go in game.ini some go in gameusersetting.ini ,
here has a full list ,https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
they have to go in the right .ini and under the correct header in the ini

[analog mica]

alr thanks

[solid jetty]

W1llz ty for helping in the end last night aswell mate. Changing ports worked 💪

[tough oracle]

what is the ini file name for player leveling, or what is it under in the settings?

server settings?

[solid jetty]

It's in the gus.ini

But its not in there by defaukt

Sometimes it isn't anyway. I just used beacon.

And pasted it in

[wise kindle]

If you changed any settings before the 30 minute mark, which is the usual setup time it takes to finish running scripts, it can corrupt the installation and the map will not start.
You can hit the reinstall button and let it run for 30 minutes. It will restart and stop several times before stopping around the 30 minute mark in a running state.
At that point you can stop the map and begin making changes.

[distant hearth]

^golden rule #1 that , #2 is when making changes , stop server wait 5 minutes , then make changes , save , wait an minute before restarting, nitrado ui can be slow during busy times

[solid jetty]

How do I uninstall a mod off my server? I deleted the files but my server launches and tries including it still

[distant hearth]

remove the modid from command line

[solid jetty]

Ahh ty

[distant hearth]

nitrado servers you just remove the mod id from the line you put them in

[tough oracle]

Ok so beacon has a command line where does that go

Or don’t I need that? It says “Island_WP”

I thought everything was done yesterday and went to play and realized none of my beacon settings saved lmao but now I did and I can’t get the server to show up on Xbox

But if I need the command line that’s prolly why

It also says allow flyer carry pve=

They go under Server settings?

[distant hearth]

in beacon once you have the settings how u want, hit export, then you can just copy paste the files , or you can link the server to beacon and have it deploy like that, it will put all the settings in the correct places under the correct headers in the two ini files

[humble thicket]

I did try re installing and that didn’t even work. I had to open a chat and they’re supposed to be fixing it now 🙃

[distant hearth]

if you only have the free version of beacon, its limited on what i will do, so you will have to just copy out the lines you need from beacon to add

[tough oracle]

I did that for GUS and and other setting but idk where the command line goes

[distant hearth]

or change as needed, you shud always check the line you need to change isnt already there

[tough oracle]

How do I link them?

[distant hearth]

ignore the command line, you dont need that , its just a differnt way to add the settings

[tough oracle]

Ah

[distant hearth]

beacon has its own in built help guides, that shud direct you, i dont use it that way so dont know off the top my head id have read through the help docs

[next hedge]

Like I rented an Ark: SE Server and restored all my pets but when I get them out of their cryo pods they are injured and they are also massively overpowered!! Like I know I need to change something in the game.ini and or gameusersettings.ini files but I have no idea what or what values to use hey!! Does anyone know what the Ark: SE Official Server settings were so I can like use them and have my pets the way they like were?? Like I was on the following servers..

PVE Official The Island D199
PVE Official Crystal Isles 881
PVE Official Fjordur 1195

Like does anyone know what settings they had in those ini files so my pets are like normal??

[drifting rose]

Is it possible to change lottery and cashier prizes On Club ark?
Can I add mods to the ark club server?

[olive talon]

As far as I am aware, no to both questions.

[tough oracle]

Ok thank you, I’ll have to figure it out when I get home after work, it showed up before I exported the files so something is messed up preventing Xbox to see it

[last moon]

Is there an issue with unofficial servers that causes babies to not be claimable when born/hatched?

[lunar cloud]

if you have reached the tame cap for your tribe, then you cannot claim babies

[last moon]

That's it, lol. Thank you.

[lunar cloud]

took me some time to figure it out 😂 , but i noticed it when i tried to un-cryo a creature , it gives a clear message. However when claiming, there is no clear message

[solid jetty]

is it possible to manually add in random spawns for lets say griffins or whatever? on ark sa?

i wanna get griffins on my map without installing a mod that adds 20 other dinos

[olive talon]

Just add a mod that only adds griffins then. As to ini, no, because they're not in vanilla yet.

[distant hearth]

the owl griffin mod by marni wud prob be a good one to achieve that , until rag is released an griffins are base game

[solid jetty]

can i not just go in ini and type in this? ...

[distant hearth]

#1 editing spawns is a pain in the arse
#2 griffin is not in asa yet so just wudnt work

[solid jetty]

does anybody know a website with the spawn enteries and creature ids for ASA? im struggling to get dinos to spawn on the center.

[olive talon]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki

Beacon also can do this

[solid jetty]

yeh im on free beacon

but is that deffo for ascended? cus iv been using wiki and not getting anywhere

[native wave]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_entries#ARK:_Survival_Ascended-0

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Creature_IDs

[solid jetty]

❤️

[native wave]

we don't have the documentation needed for the maps on ASA yet, but much of it can be brought over from the map on ASE. that's what I did for my spawn modifications on my servers....getting the correct biome can be tricky if it's not quite the same

[solid jetty]

yeah thats what im struggling with i have everything in place except the biome names

[native wave]

these are the spawn modifications I made to my own servers, for Scorched and The Center: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/User:ThunderGod97/SpawnWork/

[solid jetty]

("/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"

this might be waht iv got wrong also

you have to put in the whole path? not just the name?

[native wave]

for that specific ini command, yes

[bleak ivy]

can you even do graptors how do their nests work.

[native wave]

absolutely you can, the nests spawn with the dino

[bleak ivy]

oh so the nest dinos could be fixed 😂

[native wave]

no placing them or anything

[solid jetty]

does it have to be in the same format? like the way its arranged or can i put it into a line?

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_LostIsland_C",
NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Center_Wyvern_Redwoods_LostIsland",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C"))),
NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Wyvern_Character_BP_Lightning_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

[native wave]

it all has to be on a single line

[solid jetty]

thats mine for example

[native wave]

I just present it on that page as an example in that format to make it a bit more readable

[solid jetty]

okay no worries. can u see on my example there, the creature is just a name, do i need the whole path?

[native wave]

for the add npc's command it needs to be the full path, including the _C at the end

[solid jetty]

okay thats great man, thanks alot

[native wave]

not a problem

[solid jetty]

is there a place i can find all the path names? looking in my server files rn XD

[distant hearth]

i forgot asa needs full path , you can adjust for the other wyverns using this ("/Game/ScorchedEarth/Dinos/Wyvern/Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire.Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C")

[solid jetty]

nice man, in future though where can i find the full paths? i dont have game installed on pc to go rootin

[distant hearth]

i pullede that out of beacon, i know thunder does his manually so prob he knows a site, if not you will just have google for them sry

[solid jetty]

np man ty alot boys

[distant hearth]

ah he linked it alreafy the wiki has the paths ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Creature_IDs

[solid jetty]

haha sorry im dumb XD

[native wave]

yeah just use the wiki....the individual pages for each dino also have more information sometimes

[solid jetty]

im praying this works now or god knows XD

[distant hearth]

thunders alot better than me with spawns but if it dont work just have keep adjusting the numbers, trial an error, takes hours maybe days sometime

[native wave]

yeah...took me a lot of server reboots to get my spawns setup how I like. the only one I could never figure out was the quetz before they implemented their fix

[solid jetty]

its worked

[native wave]

I only ever got them spawning when I figured out how to spawn 1100+ at one point in time....but I couldn't reproduce it 😆

[solid jetty]

you boys are legends man

on the creature ids list on that website

its missing the _C at the end of the string, should i add it on?

[native wave]

for the add npc command, yes

[solid jetty]

ok thanks, and the redwood biome is it named this.

DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_LostIsland_C

[native wave]

you're on center correct?

[solid jetty]

yes

[native wave]

honestly not sure....not in the ASE list

[solid jetty]

fair enough, i guess ill leave that for now then

[distant hearth]

"DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_C"

[solid jetty]

life saver ❤️

[distant hearth]

thank beacon if it works

it shud work, as i know they pull the data from the dev kit

[native wave]

yeah they have quite a bit of info the wiki doesn't because of that data harvesting from the dev kit

[solid jetty]

someone needs to sit on beacon and pull all the biomes into the wiki XD

[distant hearth]

the wiki has most of them

honestly its money well spent , but i get that times are hard for people . i had it for years then upgraded to the newer for asa , its like £18 a year or summit daft

[solid jetty]

what beacon u mean?

yeah its a sick app tbh

[distant hearth]

ark beacon omni

[native wave]

this one ^^

[solid jetty]

ill get it if i can populate my server just seems pointless if i cant haha

[native wave]

I would use it more but with the stuff I'm using the wiki the most for....it's behind the omni paid app...so I just use the wiki as I can't afford a yearly sub

[solid jetty]

if you know how to do it yourself i guess u dont need it, i am however a noob so it would probably suit me.

[distant hearth]

even as a n00b it is not straightforward, takes a bit time to learn it and what it can do

[solid jetty]

i got lightning wyverns now

yeah i figured some of it was baffling, but most of it is quite straightforward tbh

it is very good

[distant hearth]

i used it for years on ase servers so gradually got used to it, but it does way more than even i know , as i tend to stick with basics

[proud phoenix]

How do i join someones server from the pay ark site

[barren marlin]

Hi, maybe someone can help me here. A friend of mine can't join our ARK server but can join all the others. She always gets the message "connection failed". We've tried a lot of things, from the firewall to restarting the rooter to reinstalling the server, leaving out the password, etc., we're at our wits' end. Before she moved, everything worked, she could join, etc., but now she can't. Does anyone have an idea?

[tough oracle]

How do I reset explorer note

[tough oracle]

If she moved out of the country maybe it’s a region issue?

[barren marlin]

She still lives within Germany but we'll check again tomorrow. Maybe the wrong region has been selected in Steam! If anyone else has a solution, I would be extremely grateful for tips

[pallid dirge]

trying to get my starter where do i go

[ornate forge]

Trying to build a very large modded structure. I know all the commands for the items I need, but I’m wondering if there is a way to spawn more than 100 stone at a time since I need a total of 19,000?

[olive talon]

This discord is for the whole of Wildcard's Ark IP. If you are on an unofficial server, join their discord for their rewards.

[olive talon]

It's based on stack sizes. If your item stacks to 100, that's the max you can get. Increase the stack size via ini

[tough oracle]

How often do yall do server saves?

If I made it like every minute would that cause issues?

[bleak ivy]

probably.

saves can create lag spikes. especially long term servers.

the bigger the map size (file size), the more intense the lag

[lunar cloud]

i would recommend against that.
The more often you save, the higher the likelihood of issues especially when unexpected shutdown of the server process happens during a write operation.
If your server has power cut, or server reboots or even if you stop the server, if its writing every minute the race condition of corrupt save is a lot more likely

i think the default is 10 or 15min for save, any reason to make it every minute?

[tough oracle]

I thought it would help give me more saves against corruption but I guess I had it backwards, I have it at 5 min right now so I’ll set it back a bit tomorrow,

Also can you force a save? And would that be a admin code typed into ark? Or the server

[jaunty vortex]

You can do admincheat saveworld, in the game (if you know the password), send it via rcon or type it into the server console

[lunar cloud]

if you self host, you can install an RCON utlity, then as an example you can run commands in a script - rcon <IP>:<PORT> -p <admin-password> . Syntax depends on utility. Then you can save world.
You want to do this in your shutdown script too, send a rcon SaveWorld and rcon DoExit to shut down gracefully
You can create another script that takes save directory, zips it up and copies it to external drive or cloud storage

this way you dont need to be in game to run commands and can take regular backups with scheduled script

[jaunty vortex]

Such a backup script is pinned in this discord.

[raven notch]

so im hosting a cluster for ASE and all my maps are working besides gen2, everytime me or any other player tries to join gen2 it gives a connection timeout, anyone have some advice for me please?

[rustic garnet]

Can anyone confirm if there is crossplay in ark ascended in a non-dedicated session between PS5 and PC, Microsoft Store?

[jaunty vortex]

there is not. same platform only, or Microsoft store (not Steam) on PC to Xbox

Anything cross platform needs a dedicated server

[solid jetty]

Has anyone ever had it where everytime you go into a cave you lag out and can never join back?

I've tested multiple times.

[tough oracle]

Ok I just got my server up so I’ll prolly wait on the rcon I don’t really understand it lmao

[tough oracle]

Any pokemon mods?

Like poke ark in ase

[velvet cargo]

i have 17 gb of mods and its telling me that i have 100 mb free space and not 3 gb..how i fix that

[jaunty vortex]

I wouldn't leave it, to be honest. Being able to save your server cannot be underrated

[compact goblet]

anyone else unable to join their server?

maybe i need to remove summer bash mod?

right now its passive

[olive talon]

You can remove it anyway, but it is not the mod. Multiple users are having issues.

[compact goblet]

ahh, wonder whats the problem

[olive talon]

Not sure, but the mod is safe to remove ^

[compact goblet]

aye

i also have silent structures mod/diamante/jumping spider

[silver dragon]

I have had an issue where when the servers update or maybe when the servers restart everything is as it was before except ALL characters are gone, even if the arkprofile is still in the save directory, so far I have been able to use backups to recovery characters when this has happened but this is not optimal….. is this a known issue?

[silver dragon]

Is the the same as the other complaints I wonder, for me when I go to join the server I know I am on it wants to create a new server, and this only happens if the server restarts or does an update

[distant hearth]

is a nitrado server? or?

[velvet cargo]

do you know how to fix it?

the mod storage

[velvet cargo]

do you have good internet connection?

[silver dragon]

For the problem I have mentioned it is not nitrado, the problem new I think it started with this current patch

[tough oracle]

Any poke arks for Asa?

[tough oracle]

I get that but I don’t have much time rn and I wanna play lmao

[distant hearth]

the problem you describe, is it after players transfer maps in the cluster ? Thats the only time i heard of it happening, not just randomly happening if a player doesnt move map

[silver dragon]

at first that is something i thought, but it seems to also be if the server restarts or updates as well, and I see that the .arkprofile is there in the save but it treats it like it isn't there

[distant hearth]

hmm thats a new one on me, with the transfer thing it somehow removes the .arkprofile. A few of us have been using the newer save method , which combines the .arkprofile into the main .ark save with no issues , but i dunno if it wud help if yours is randomly not reading the file,
maybe the the .arkprofiles getting corrupted somehow ?

my first thought wud to be to put the whole cluster onto a differnt drive

[tough oracle]

How easy is it to setup?

[jaunty vortex]

you should have an rcon port in gameusersettings.ini

By default it's 27020

[tough oracle]

Idk what that means, do I just copy past the rcon pinned script where it says rcon port?

And do I have to change it from utp in my port forward?

[jaunty vortex]

rcon is tcp

but if it's only you using it, you don't need to port forward

[lusty lichen]

got a question! so we're playing on Evolved, got a server from Nitrado. we want to have more higher level dinos without having to change the max level, is that possible?

really hope someone can help me out tbh, I'm losing my mind

[distant hearth]

with a mod you can easily, "custom dino levels"
the hard way is to do it with ini coding , i never tried that way , i know its possible but wud take me days or weeks to code it tbh lmao

[pseudo osprey]

Difficulty level

There are in the ini file 2 modification options to difficulty

If you put the one to 1.0 and the other to 5.0 it will give you normal levels and max 150

If you put it to 2.0 and 5.0 max level will dtay 150 but levels wont be normal but a bit higher

[olive talon]

Ninja has a pastebin for it but I don't know how accurate it is for asa

[distant hearth]

no idea, if its from ase its hit an miss what works for asa, most of the spawn coding in asa needs full blueprint path.
i just use the mod as it works and im to lazy to go through every spawn manually

[olive talon]

Mod is 100x easier

[distant hearth]

agreed, the only thing i wont use is stacking mods as they cause more trouble than then worth most time

[silver dragon]

It’s the windows vm and the vhd with the Ark servers are in the same disk now,

[shell sable]

Does anyone know how to add premium mods to a dedicated server? I can't find the MOD ID to add to my BAT file for the premium mods.

I'm trying to add the primal nemesis mod to my dedicated server

[distant hearth]

did you the try the curseforge website?
it comes up with this when i search it
Project ID
1065717

im not certain its the right mod, but hopefully it is

[wise kindle]

Mod ids are listed on the Curseforge mod page on the lower right panel.

[clever trail]

For some reason on my server every now and then when a player logs off and try to log in again the next day or whenever it asks them to create in your character and nothing has changed from the server. it hasn't rebooted or updated it's just a random phenomenon that happens every now and then is it common or is it only happening to me

[idle mauve]

Hi guys
I just downloaded asa a couple days ago and I wanna play with my boyfriend. But when we are on a non dedicated server (his) I can't kill anything or get stuff from the bodys.
I tried to find a solution but nothing helpful shows up.
If anyone can help 🙏🏻
(We are playing on ps5)

[brave igloo]

Anyone know if it's possible to set a minimum spawn level in survival evolved?

[shell sable]

So, Set up a dedicated server for ASA but I can't find the DefaultGameUserSettings.ini file anywhere? I can find the GameUserSettings, but not the default one that let's me change the Dino levels and everything. Do I need to manually create it?

[shell sable]

You might be able to do it by balancing the Dinospawn level and multiplier but you'll need some math

[jaunty vortex]

don't think there is a default, just gameusersettings.ini

[shell sable]

I don't see any of the Settings that let you adjust dino spawn levels, Would I just add them to the gameusersettings.ini as I need them?

[jaunty vortex]

yes. What levels are you looking for? I can probably tell you what to set and where

[shell sable]

I'm trying to get the standard official levels where 150 is the max and the dino levels are divisble by 5 or 10.

[jaunty vortex]

2 secs

under server settings in gameusersettings.ini

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5
DifficultyOffset=1.0

Will give you max wild level of 150. Formula is 30 x OverrideOfficialDifficulty x DifficultyOffset

[pure haven]

Has anyone figured out why decay timers reset on each server restart? Is there any setting to disable timers reset?

[raven notch]

anyone had the issue of server crashing when someone types in global chat? i believe my API's are causing the issue

[wise kindle]

Set both the pve and pvp decay settings the same and it should fix it. Its a weird bug.

[pure haven]

Thanks! Will try it

[stiff onyx]

What specs y’all recommend for a server for all of them I was planing on making a server hosting pc for multiple games but ark was the primary and wanted to know good req (gonna put 32-64 gb of ddr4-5 ram depending on motherboard)

[sturdy dune]

Does anyone know how to host an ark server using playit.gg?

[jaunty vortex]

I'm running a Ryzen 7 5700G with 128GB RAM and 2TB of storage. 11 Minecraft servers and 4 Ark Maps are using about half the RAM.

Budget about 10-12GB of RAM per map, on average

[wind finch]

How do I change the player level stats in Dino level stats so I can make like the weight be more and health

[distant hearth]

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

[tame cypress]

how are folks giving back tekgrams/ascension unlocks in the event of lost characters? seems like the defeatboss command isnt working correctly. It adds a line to the implant but doesnt give extra levels or tekgrams

[wind finch]

I've tried that a couple times and I think and it's not working I have other settings that are working like the resource amount and the XP but this isn't working I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if I'm putting it in the wrong spot

[distant hearth]

dm me a txt copy of ure game.ini an i will check

[wind finch]

Yeah I will

[wind finch]

The game I and I is playing it just has the player level stat multiplier that's can I have a example config?

[distant hearth]

the link i gave has all the configs and examples

[elfin folio]

the problem is the syntax is correct, it's in Game.ini

but its not being honored, server is running in a docker container and is up and browsable

there is some other component that is not 'enabling' or activating these settings across teh board, all the other custom settings work fine, but all the multiplier stuff doesn't work

having a full GameUserSetting.ini and Game.ini example would be great

server is on linode

[distant hearth]

doesnt matter what the server runs on, the game.ini and gameusersetting.ini use the same settings across the board.
everyones will be differnt as its setup to there preferences

[elfin folio]

correct, so not sure what's wrong here. was just giving some extra details. places like Nitrado have scripts and stuff to make this easier, but linode isn't gaming centric

all the custom game settings work

except for anything starting with PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player

so something about this set of commands aren't working, it doesnt matter what sub category we use

do i need something in Game.ini as a seperator?

my Game.ini is simply just several lines of these with diff values

not sure why ic an't paste into this room

[distant hearth]

AutoPvEStartTimeSeconds=0
AutoPvEStopTimeSeconds=0
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=2
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.125
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0.5
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=6.0
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=10```
it shud look something like this, i left out alot things, but the bottom two lines mutiply the each weight point you add x10 for players and tamed dinos, meaning instead of 10 per point u get 100 per point

[elfin folio]

i have that. but i don't have the [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] part at top

is that important?

[distant hearth]

thats why it wont work, all those settings need to be under that header in game.ini

[elfin folio]

ok sec

[distant hearth]

doesnt matter the order but they need to be under that particular header

[elfin folio]

restartingt the server

[distant hearth]

the wiki does tell you this if you read it ,
Game.ini
All the following options can only be set in the [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] section of Game.ini, located in the same folder as GameUserSettings.ini (see Configuration Files for its location). Specifying them on the command line will have no effect.

[elfin folio]

i learned the hard way i can't really host a server on starlink

yeap i missed that part. initially i had it in the gameuser one

[distant hearth]

yea they block it some thing i read when i looked into it

[elfin folio]

yea and they use funky CGNAT

i could probably if i played with it enough but i don't care

[distant hearth]

if u get into hostng the servers its worth spending the time to go through the wiki i gave

[elfin folio]

but i work for Linode so i have freebites 😄

oh i know about hosting

i was one of the original ddos protection hosting providers many years ago

i'm mythicals dad

[distant hearth]

what i meant was hosting ark servers and modifyng the ini files , sry i wasnt very clear

[elfin folio]

it works. thank you

[distant hearth]

np

[elfin folio]

i didnt realize that pre requisite so now we can just update the values

[distant hearth]

yea set them how you want 🙂 just add them on a new line if you want more health etc

[sturdy dune]

ANyone know how to setup a server with Playit.gg? I got the server to run, just dont know how to allow friends to join

[deep sphinx]

Would a hostinger 8 GB game panel be enough for a small 20 slot lightly modded private server?

Since we tried ovh and it ran badly.

[distant hearth]

for ark ascended no, for ase, just about

oh except gen 2 on ase, that map needs more

[deep sphinx]

Hmm ... Their 16gb server is a lil out of my budget (150 for a year)

But the 8 GB one is 95

[distant hearth]

is it for ascended or evolved?

[deep sphinx]

Ascended, the original game does not run that well with OBS for some weird reason on my rig

For some weird reason, ascended I can stream and record just fine, evolved? No. It does not work.

[distant hearth]

no chance , u will need 16gb minimum

[deep sphinx]

Would 16 gigs be able to handle? Maybe an average of 5 to 10 players and just a few light quality of life mods? No big mods

[tough plaza]

Do I need to keep summerbash in my mods on my server to keep the event items ?

[distant hearth]

no , its in base game now

[deep sphinx]

With this still apply with the upcoming aberration update that's supposed to give an 80% improvement roughly?

[distant hearth]

yea shud be fine depending on the mods

[deep sphinx]

Or is that only client not server

[distant hearth]

the improvement is client side not server side

[deep sphinx]

That's a big rip

[distant hearth]

it might have a small effect on servers but i doubt it

[deep sphinx]

I'm assuming that when 5.4 comes out, that 20 25% should still apply to servers?

[distant hearth]

prob not

over time servers might get slightly less ram use but i suspect it will just rise as more thjings get added to the game

[deep sphinx]

It's too bad that ark servers are so demanding

[distant hearth]

just how things go over time i guess as improvements are made

have a poke about for other hosting sites, that hostinger one doesnt look too great to me, doesnt even tell me where the server will be located

[deep sphinx]

They are really good for web hosting, but yeah it doesn't say much about the location of the game server

I believe they are germany based or somewhere around there?

[distant hearth]

no idea i dint look too hard tbh but i wud expect it be very clear an its not

hetzner might be an option if ure in europe , never used them but others have said there good

[deep sphinx]

Ah that may be who I thought of. Name kinda sounds similar to me if your not reading too much into it.

[last hornet]

Tell ya friends to chip in for better server 🤣

[deep sphinx]

Everyone I know is poor just like me right now lol

[last hornet]

Fair play, why not just join one ?

[deep sphinx]

I run a PG community, and havent found any similar ones yet.

[compact goblet]

c vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.0

[last hornet]

Fair enough

[sturdy dune]

PLEASE SOMONE HELP ME!!! I hosted an ark server on my pc but idk how to use playit.gg to allow my friends to join!! SOMONE PLEASE HELP!!!

[last hornet]

Can’t help sorry, I use nitrado!

[sturdy dune]

Whats that

Is it another port forwarding software?

[distant hearth]

why not just forward the ports like normal?

also the website has its own discord , if you have to use that tool, try in there discord

[sturdy dune]

I did aswell, no one responded

[sturdy dune]

I dont want to mess with my wifi router

So using a tunnler would be easier for me

[muted niche]

what's a good thing to host a server?

[distant hearth]

hmm , use some dodgy third party software or just open the ports the server needs on the router?
anyway your choice, hopefully you get it sorted

[sturdy dune]

Its an ip tunnler

So different then opening the ports

[distant hearth]

you do you my friend , horses for courses an all that 🙂

[sturdy dune]

wut

[distant hearth]

its upto you lol, your router will have dozens if not 100's ports open anyway , i.e its your choice if you want to go about things the hard way

[sturdy dune]

I just dont want to mess wit it cuz my dads guna get mad if I mess up the router lol

[last hornet]

Just do it and blame me

[sturdy dune]

lol

[distant hearth]

lmao that makes more sense, best you go ask permission if youre allowed to actually run a server from there pc

[sturdy dune]

My parents dont care what I do wit my pc, I bought it myself, they just dont want me to break the wifi

[wise kindle]

If you are letting strangers into your network, you should probably let the parental units know about it.

[raven notch]

anyone know how i can add fertilized eggs to my drop loot pool? specifically where i can set the levels of the eggs, i know you can do it through beacon but those only come out level 1 and at 1% egg health

Anyone getting this crap alot lately

[humble thicket]

Is it possible to disable the explorer notes raw xp and xp boost?

[distant hearth]

not disable as such, but setting the xp gained multiplier to very low wud prob do what you want in the game.ini
ExplorerNoteXPMultiplier=0.001
SpecialXPMultiplier=0.001

[humble thicket]

👍

So that's what the special xp is for

[tough oracle]

Is rcon plug and play? Like I just paste the script and it’s good

[distant hearth]

yea its the xp mutiplier for when the buff is active

[humble thicket]

Wait wouldn't just put it as 0 disable it?

[distant hearth]

it likely wudnt work, it mostly doesent accept 0 so ingame it wud still be using the default value

[humble thicket]

Well, only one way to find out for sure :O I'll try it out when I open the server

[tough oracle]

How do I turn off fly

I used cheat fly, now idk how to stop it

[distant hearth]

cheat walk

[tough oracle]

What about god mode

[distant hearth]

cant rem that one, you'd have to google it

[olive talon]

Do the command again. None of these are server setup btw, use #bobs-with-probs.

[slim turret]

do i have to change anything for crossplay other than deleting the parameter serverstuff=pc?

and can I have just one crossplay map in my cluster or did I have to change the whole cluster than?

[sturdy dune]

Jus my friends, we have 5 not 4 and I want it to run 24/7

[vale flame]

Question: Even with the difficulty of the server changed, why are my high levels disappearing? How can I get them back or should I just lower the difficulty back to normal?
Backstory for the question: I recently got on my cluster to continue breeding rexs just to find all my dinos below level 450 gone. (Mind you that my difficulty is 15 so max wild is 450) I have run backups up to weeks back with nothing coming back. All my cryoed dinos are fine(just cant throw them out because it says they failed to spawn), but everything I had out is poof gone.

[pure haven]

450 is hard cap for tames on officials and i guess its also default value unless you configure it. Try set your desired level cap with DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp= in game.ini but im not sure if it works in asa.

[vale flame]

I will give this a try and do a rollback to see if things come back. Thank you!

[wise kindle]

I saw this today as well. It appears to be corrupt files as settings make no difference.

[deep cosmos]

Anyone know what multipliers that apply to Rhyniognatha?

[tough oracle]

If I use rcon, do I have to format all my servers or is it an addition?

[distant hearth]

its an addition, each server will need its own seperate port though if u wish to use it on them all

i.e the same port wont work for more than one server

[main halo]

Heads up, Nitrado server owners/admins!
Nitrado added a new setting to the General page (Dino section waaay down the page) DestroyTamesOverLevel, which is being preset to lvl 450, and tames over that level will be destroyed.
To reset it, stop the server, set a larger number (or click the X to the right, which seems to set it to 15000), save settings, restart server.
According to some who've tested, this General page setting seems to override the setting if you try to add it to the ini instead.
You'll need to do a rollback to recover lost dinos (to before the last server restart, probably).
Server owner/admins should probably adjust this setting ASAP to minimize how far they'll have to roll back to recover lost tames.

[wild vault]

Anyone having issues throwing out dinos over a certain level

[distant hearth]

read above post

[jaunty vortex]

thanks for the heads up, Dina. I'm sure it will help a lot of people

[olive edge]

So my friend and I took a break from ark for a few months waiting for aberration to release, we played the island and ascended. We let the server lapse and lost our characters, is there a way to give ourselves all our tek engrams back permanently? Could we just go back to the island and do the boss fights in creative mode to get the engrams back? Or do they not count in creative mode?

[stiff onyx]

thank you my god sir i have just come across a deal for a i5 8500 whole pc with a 1060 for 250$ i only host one at a time so sould be no issue i just need to get more ram for it

its a friends so ima test it frst then buy it if it runs fine

[jaunty vortex]

club ark does not use much. Right now, my RAM usage is
Island - 10.8GB
Center - 10.5GB
Scorched Earth - 7.1GB
Club Ark - 2.2GB

[stiff onyx]

ive been using a laptop to run the server lol

[jaunty vortex]

that's probably fine, it just needs a load of RAM

[stiff onyx]

thanks mainly doing for ab as it is me and my boys fav map from the series

[distant hearth]

that be fine ddr4 ram is cheap too so its easy get decent chunk

[stiff onyx]

yea ima get 32 just to start for now

[jaunty vortex]

I reckon Abberation will be about 10-15GB, but we won't know until Wednesday/Thursday

[stiff onyx]

indeed cant wait tho

[distant hearth]

yea i expect it gonna be on the higher end of useage

[jaunty vortex]

also depends on mods. I've only got 6 and they are not dinos or structures

[stiff onyx]

Same don’t care to use Dino’s just the automation shit

[tough oracle]

I think I have that already, you mean regular port or different rcon ports

[tough oracle]

With rcon, does that replace the normal port?

[distant hearth]

sry i shud of been more specific, its an additional port the server uses for rcon connection, so each will need its own rcon port setup aswell as the game port it uses, rcon is tcp port also just so u kno w

[tough oracle]

Can I pick random numbers like for the regular ports?

[distant hearth]

here gives examples of ase ports, ignore the peer port an queryport though, there not used in asa
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Network

[distant hearth]

you can but need to be sure they dont clash with any other port your router is using

[broken tinsel]

Thank you so so much for this information! We were wondering why this had happened! So glad it’s an easy fix!

[tough oracle]

I see so I can use like 5000 if I’m using 4000 for servers

[distant hearth]

im not the best one to ask about networking tbh, i think some routers dont go over 5000 , just use the ports from the link i gave a it be fine, there tested an known not to give issues

also rcon is a tcp port , so it doesnt effect the server port

[tough oracle]

Ok cool ty!

[jagged crow]

Hey the setting allowing dinos to go over the cap level randomly turned off and we lost dinos, it's there a way to check when that happened so we know how far back to roll it?

[jagged crow]

Thank you, now we just gotta figure out how to do a roll back

[distant hearth]

go back 24 hours an u will be good

its on the general setting page in nitrado ui, backup

[jagged crow]

Thank you

[jagged crow]

If someone was on our cluster map will it mess up their character?

[distant hearth]

it will set them back how ever far you roll back, so anything they did in that period wil be gone

but you have no way around it, nitrado fucked up an u have to roll back to fix it

[robust nymph]

Anyone else's server implement a level cap of 450 all by itself?
Was well above 450, but now a bunch of player dinos have vanished and 450+ in pod can no longer be deployed

[lean wave]

Exactly the same happens to our cluster !

Nitrado

[robust nymph]

Our settings say 1500 but the 450 has been implemented in game somehow and we can't find how to fix it

[lean wave]

Same !

[robust nymph]

Has it just started or does this happen to you guys randomly.
Started sometime in the last maybe 6 hours (we think)

[lean wave]

Yesterday evening everything was OK.
I think it happened with/after the daily restart.

[robust nymph]

Yeap ours would be the same

Heaps of players have lost so many tames or have a bunch that can't be deployed.
Been going through settings for over 30 mins and they're all correct.

Have posted in the nitrado discord to try and find a solution.

[lean wave]

Nitrado-support is already working on it at one of our servers

[lean wave]

Nitrado had to restore backups from yesterday morning and it is working now - one day rollback

[robust nymph]

They're working on ours now. The fella can't even get maps to come back up 🤦‍♀️

[clever trail]

For some reason on my server every now and then when a player logs off and try to log in again the next day or whenever it asks them to create in your character and nothing has changed from the server. it hasn't rebooted or updated it's just a random phenomenon that happens every now and then is it common or is it only happening to me

#unofficial-setup-help message

[hexed sorrel]

Hey hey quick question for yall my friend juste lunched a server and we are trying to have instant maturation we don’t really care about imprint and everything we just want instant maturation or close but we need the good files on nitrado for this and I don’t know how

Thanks for the help

[olive talon]

Evolved or Ascended? Only because Nitrado's setup is a bit different for each game

[hexed sorrel]

Ascended

[olive talon]

You can just go into config files > game.ini

If you don't care about imprints, try this first. I'm not able to use my pc atm to look at beacon for exact rates

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=70

[hexed sorrel]

Alright thank you 😃 I’ll keep u update you can add me if you want and thanks again

[olive talon]

Personally I will not be available again in about 20 minutes for an hour or so. You can just post in here if you need further help with your server, almost all of the configs are exactly the same regardless of your host.

[peak sapphire]

I have my baby mature set to 80 and that is up to an hour for most creatures with a Giga being 3 hours

[tepid agate]

Hi all, we've updated Our unoffi Server with the New settings from nitrado
But Our Server doesnt come out if Looping??? Anyone could help maybee??:)
Best greetings 💪

[olive talon]

Stop the server and wait like 30 minutes to an hour. Try starting it. If it does not work, contact Nitrado.

[tepid agate]

Weve stopped it for like 1 hour but doesnt stop Looping....
Maybee we should give it another try and after it weve should message nitrado, thank for Quick help :))

[zinc mist]

Are you able to transfer everything from nitrado unofficial server to singleplayer?

[olive talon]

Yes, just have no clusterID and have uploads/downloads allowed

[zinc mist]

Ok, good to know is it possible to transfer the maps through the files as well? And if doing so should there be anything on top of the map files to transfer

[olive talon]

That part I don't know, I do know you can just transfer items/tames through the obelisks.

[zinc mist]

Ok, thanks a bunch! :D <3

[olive talon]

Someone else in this channel might know more, I'm just not a file person 😂

[tough oracle]

Also is there a general setting for recipe costs? Like Bps or do you have to change it one by one

[languid plank]

anyway to bypass the arena timer? i was trying to run fights back to back but that 5 min timer kind of killed the momentum

[olive talon]

One by one. If you have BeaconOmni, it makes it 10x easier

[tough oracle]

Where do I start to add rcon

[dusty jay]

Hello, So i am trying to make abberation a challenge map for my cluster when it drops tomorrow. Would these settings stop people from bringing dinos and items from other maps on my cluster into abberation?
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadDinos=False

[last magnet]

there is a setting called CrossArkAllowForeignDinosDownload=False as well

that won't let them bring nonnative dinos to Abb

I'm using that and allowing items to transfer up and down and dinos out

[dusty jay]

so for me i would need:
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
CrossArkAllowForeignDinosDownload=False

[last magnet]

yup that looks correct

they'll have to make/tame everything they need on Abb

[dusty jay]

will the custom creature,costume and structure items cause issues?

in the past when i tried to add for svarta it did

[last magnet]

I haven't had issues with the custom slots transferring to official maps

I don't run mod maps on my cluster yet so I haven't tested transferring to them

[dusty jay]

those arent mods its the new custom skin thing that WC came out with

[last magnet]

the custom slots? the ones that look like a house and a couple of others?

I haven't had issues transferring between maps with those

other than host timeout

[dusty jay]

kk

will give these a go tomorrow

thank you

[ashen nebula]

hello friends, is there anyone in here who'd be willing to hop into a dm with me and walk me through some setup help? I have an island sever that i set up following a youtube guide, and I havent played in months. I'd like to set up center and scorched earth servers as well and be able to bounce between them with my character but I have no idea how to do that. I'm super bad with this stuff and would love someone to walk me through it as if I were a child lol. I can provide screenshots of my current file directories and my current island run script.

[dusty jay]

Thats a huge ask man. There is a lot of reading material simply you just have to read it.

theres even videos ignore that it says ASE or ASA. Pretty well the same things work on both

[grand ice]

Is it worth to buy dedicated server?

[native wave]

My server prepared ✅

[native wave]

what do you mean by "buy"...purchase hardware or rent hardware?

[dusty jay]

renting a server is never good. your gonna spend a lot of money for a bogged down POS. If you use your own dedicated stuff yes, but will be a huge hobby in itself setting all the fancy features up

if you need a place to play thats reasonable and doesnt give you everything for nothing hit me up and ill send you a discord link

[native wave]

owning your own hardware or playing on servers someone else runs on their own hardware is definitely the best way to play

[dusty jay]

yup!!! I turned my old gaming pc into a monster server machine

[native wave]

my setup: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/User:ThunderGod97/cluster/

server struggled with Gen 2...hoping the upgrade to UE5 helps with that when it comes along

[dusty jay]

fairly decent setup

[wind finch]

how do i add mods on a server on asa

[dusty jay]

-mods=

[wind finch]

and what?

[tough oracle]

Is there a way to make the Asa server save on shutdown other than rcon

[hexed sorrel]

Quick question for yall I can’t use any console command on my new server nothing is working like r.fog volumetricCloud ++++ do I need to active something on nitrado ?

[olive talon]

Are you typing them in correctly?
r.volumetricfog 0
r.volumetriccloud 0

[bleak ivy]

the project IDs, they are found on the curseforge page.

right side, under About project

-mods=928708,942024 as an example, for custom dino levels and dino depot.

[hexed sorrel]

Yup

[olive talon]

You're not like adding cheat before are you?

[hexed sorrel]

Nope

[olive talon]

I can't think of anything that would stop them

[bleak ivy]

typing it in the wrong spot, and potentially a space somewhere make sure they are different lines or use a | I think to do multiple (not sure if that works on console)

[paper mirage]

If I buy a server I have a few questions I can't find answers to in google I thought I might ask here. Is there host tethering distance, I am assuming not since it is a "server" but I wanted to ask

[olive talon]

Where are you typing them at? https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands make sure it's the console and not chat

[olive talon]

Nope no tether

[bleak ivy]

rented servers don't have it. just non-dedi (client hosted)

[paper mirage]

Cool cool, thank you

[hexed sorrel]

First I went to my setting on ark (ps5) to allow console commande after this I press my pad to access console commande and I put all of them and nothing work

[olive talon]

Try again, sometimes you have to add them more than once

[paper mirage]

My last question is are you able to have console commands as the host. I'm not looking at allowing console commands so if it does allow that I will turn it off

[olive talon]

If you want, you can add the mod Lily's Tweaker, and just type the commands into that ingame, and it will run the commands for you each time you log in. It might be better for you so you don't have to type them.

[hexed sorrel]

Alright thank you again

[olive talon]

You can use an admin password to only allow people with that password for commands

[paper mirage]

Awesome. Thank you

[olive talon]

Yep yw

[olive talon]

No problem

[hexed sorrel]

And last thing can you tell me the différence between Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini

Files*

[bleak ivy]

they are different files that have different settings to do different things

gameusersettings.ini usually goes under the server settings header.
game.ini usually doesn't matter.

just no empty lines between settings

[hexed sorrel]

Good good bc I’ve tried to upgrade the maturation speed on gamerusersettings and nothing work so now Im about to try on game.ini

[bleak ivy]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration that'll tell you where things go.

[hexed sorrel]

Does the imprint stop the maturation until you do care (imprint)

[bleak ivy]

no

[gleaming stirrup]

How can I make custom drops on a unofficial server? Like the drops and I'd also like to add stuff to beaver dams, how would I do that

[olive talon]

Beacon is great if you've got a laptop/pc

[rancid marsh]

Yes beacon. I have the paid premium version and its just awesome 👌

[gleaming stirrup]

I do not

[languid forge]

Using SteamCMD, and Batch Files, is there any way to have the server automatically reboot when a mod has pushed an update?

[celest halo]

Not easily

[languid forge]

What server management tools are you using to run your cross-play server? I currently use batch files and Beacon.

[jaunty vortex]

ASAM and Beacon.

[languid forge]

ASAM?

[jaunty vortex]

Brad’s ASAM. you’ll have to google since I can’t give a link.

Server manager with built in RCON and ini editor.

[wraith turret]

my ark freezes on pressing start in win10 any1 know fix bro

[raven notch]

for ASE servers, is there a setting that disables the prerequisites for the S+ mutator? i dont want to add the s+ cloning chamber to my server

[amber veldt]

Guessing it will be Aberration_WP for map name?

[wraith wraith]

You can just add it like The center so you don't have to type in the name

[jaunty vortex]

you need to know the map name if you host your own server

[velvet forge]

Aberration disables flyers by default right? No need to change ini's on a server with transfers enabled? If someone brings a flyer in a soul ball it just won't be deployed?

[iron bronze]

Has Sumer Bash items still not been added to base game? O.o

[wise kindle]

Its not by default, its a setting.
Also note that the setting will not likely block modded non native dinos.

[distant hearth]

not exactlt by default , but you will likely want to use this line when setting up the server,
CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=false

if you want them to have dinos outside of ab but turn off flying you can also do that in ini

[distant hearth]

there added they just never documented doing so

[slate bridge]

Anyone know the map name for abberation 🙂

[native wave]

I'm just permanently leaving wintersday and summer bash on my servers....my aberration server is starting with summer bash

[distant hearth]

prob this

[native wave]

because I can.
Island and Center get both, scorched just gets summer bash along with aberration

[ashen nebula]

Hey if I run unoffical dedicated servers and I buy the pyromane, will the friends I invite to my server have to buy it as well in order to tame and use, or do they get access on my server since I own it?

[viscid estuary]

they will have to buy it in order to use it

[junior phoenix]

In my experience they will, we had someone win it in club ark and they couldn't spawn it until they bought it.

You also have to own it to spawn it in for someone as well, I had someone ask me to spawn one in and I had to buy it to be able to spawn it in using admincheat.

[ashen nebula]

good to know, so those who choose to buy it will be able to tame, mount, use it. And those who don't can see it in the world just not interact?

[viscid estuary]

they will be able to see it, but they won't be able to tame it, mount it or use it

[ashen nebula]

gotcha, thanks

[viscid estuary]

anytime

[pure haven]

so i tried setting both pve and pvp setting to same number an it still refresh decay timers after server restart. is there anything else im missing? PvPDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=2
PvPStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=2
PvEDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=2
PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=2

[remote oyster]

How do I enable speedleveling on asa?

I tried the game.ini setting but nothing happened

[wise kindle]

Theres a ton of decay setting related to modes, like PvPDinoDecay=true

Search thru the server configs via a word search for "decay" and make sure you have all of them mentioned.
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#OverrideEngramEntries_and_OverrideNamedEngramEntries

I use beacon so its a one setting change so I dont have all of these changes noted line by line in my notes or I would list them here.

[faint tartan]

This may be a broad question....but i wanna start a server for 4-5 friends. i dont wanna progress too fast, but i dont want to slog through materials grinding either... also want mating/baby stuff to be fairly quick what kind of settings are important for this?

[scarlet echo]

Why are my max levels on dinos level 120 and not 150? We set it to "Max difficulty"

[quick silo]

Do you need to own a prem mod like a map to run it?

[olive talon]

Yes

[north elbow]

does the setting override official difficulty make things spawn higher but not above 150 or does it make things spawn above 150 if put above 5

[slate bridge]

is there a way to add points to clubark players ?

[round raft]

Hello, how can I put dinos level 300 in the center? I already put these commands in GameUserSettings.ini these commands
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10
and they don't come out of level 300, can someone help me?

[distant hearth]

there usually already there , you just stop the server , change the override official difficulty to =10, save it, restart server with a dino wipe , or do a dino wipe in game

oh you will want maxdifficulty=false set in game.ini too

[jaunty vortex]

On the island they’re capped at 120 using max difficulty.

under server settings in gameusersettings.ini

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5
DifficultyOffset=1.0

Will give you max wild level of 150. Formula is 30 x OverrideOfficialDifficulty x DifficultyOffset

[round raft]

I've done that. But even so they don't come out level 300 do you think I should change in game.ini maxdifficulty=false? From false to true or the other way around

[distant hearth]

it needs to be set false, if set true it will make the dinos 150 and ignore the overrideofficialdifficulty

[round raft]

What?

[jaunty vortex]

Was replying to somebody else.

[round raft]

Ok, I'll check it to see if that's it

[round raft]

Ok sorry

[jaunty vortex]

Somebody asked why their dinos were stuck on 120.

[distant hearth]

ase calculated the dino levels differnt for couple maps iirc, i always just used the override to guarantee id get what i want

[round raft]

Ok thank you I'll try and if it doesn't work I'll write again because it's very rare that with the configuration on for that it doesn't come out, is it valid for all maps?

[distant hearth]

yes

[celest halo]

They not all going to come out level 300 most will be under 150 with some being between 150-300

[round raft]

I'm already referring to the maximum level of the server

[iron bronze]

Ah okay...thank you ^^

[near spoke]

Hi does anyone know how to fix overcaped blueprints from fishing ? Recently serwer im playing had fishing loot quality set to 2.0 and hard cap to official (298% for weapons etc…) but for some reason fishing gives overcaped blueprints like 750% shotgun ot 293 armour deinosuchus saddle does anyone know how to fix it ?

[distant hearth]

the obvious answer is to lower the fishing loot quality to say 0.5, but with the level cap it shud revert anything thats over on a server restart

[near spoke]

Thats what owner does but for unknown reason those over cap blueprints wont reduce after restart

[distant hearth]

hmm not sure on that then sry

[near spoke]

No problem 🙂 maybe someone else was in similar situation and know the solution

[tepid berry]

@distant hearth will ClampItemStats command line argument work for him?

[distant hearth]

they must be using that anyway to get the itemclamps to work at all

[tepid berry]

....I swear to god...

[bleak ivy]

use the new wiki.

[distant hearth]

lol

[near spoke]

He is using beacon app so maybe there is an issue with that

[bleak ivy]

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

[tepid berry]

Yeah, @near spoke -- check the URL that pumpkin posted. You can probably use that to clamp the items back in line.

It will require a server restart though.

[distant hearth]

try in the beacon discord , they might know, beacon sets the clamps in the game ini and add the line in gameuser ini so , it likely some sort game bug. but i dont know for sure

[near spoke]

Hell try to write those like i config and see what happens 😅 at this point anything that might help is worth

[distant hearth]

those lines will be in there already if they used beacon to set the clamps, beacon knows how to handle an what lines to put where, have them check there actually on the server in the ini files

[celest halo]

LMAO almost ready just over 12 more hours We’re nearly ready to go, with some platforms needing more time to sync for a simultaneous release, so we're targeting a 7 AM PDT launch

[sleek nacelle]

7 am pdt sept 7th

For self hosted

[native wave]

got my backups done, maybe I'll play some starfield for a change tonight

[celest halo]

i didnt even bother i figured it come out after i went to bed anyway lmao

now it will just be tomorrow while im at work

[leaden magnet]

do we know what the map code for abberation will be? with the new launch time id like to set it up to start once the download finishes cause i will be asleep at launch

[distant hearth]

for certain no, but can make a guess thats prob right

[leaden magnet]

welp i sure hope its Aberration_WP

[distant hearth]

it wudnt make much sense for them to change the format now, but its wc so anything can happen lmao

[quick silo]

me to lol

[peak sapphire]

Anyone know the boss drop (DinoInventoryDrop) for Rockwell? I assume it will be the same as on ASE

[verbal swan]

any help on AB map serv!

[deep flower]

anyone here know if ASE supports clustering to mod maps like svartalfheim. i can't get it too boot for some reason

[native wave]

yes it supports that. have you tried booting it up without enabling clustering?

[umbral bay]

whats the best server hosting for steam/epic with fjordur available guys?

[foggy pebble]

is anyone else having a problem with mods not showing up to be activated in game for a single player world i cant get more then 6 mods to show up even know i have downloaded more

[deep flower]

not yet, but i will give it a try now! and tysm i have been searching for that answer

[native wave]

also do you have an existing cluster or are you setting up a new one?

[deep flower]

existing cluster with all 12 official maps

[native wave]

I never clustered in ASE with svart....but I did in ASA and it works fine. I actually have my second character stored there atm. I had others clustered in my ASE cluster like Fjordur, Lost Island, Crystal Isles, and Ragnarok

[deep flower]

yeah i discovered svart on ASA and it was amazing and i wanted to check out the completed version on my ASE cluster and to add in the s-variants

sadly hard to find ase support after asa came out because of all the new info and projects

[native wave]

yeah not a big fan of how they just left the discord as is and didn't split out ASA as a separate game from ASE.

with clusters I basically treat it as a stand alone server first, and if it boots up, then I can enable the cluster and make sure the transfer happens approrpriately

[bleak ivy]

we didn't delete any messages you can still find the old stuff with the search.

[deep flower]

i found a way to enable frame gen on ase and have graphics turned all the way up and it actually looks incredible. not really going back to asa until i can get over 100 fps

and for sure, downloading the server as we speak

[native wave]

didn't say ya did...I would've setup the discord a bit differently is all I'm saying

[bleak ivy]

would've just split the community. no reason to do so. as long as you clarify which game people on both can still help.

even before ASA it was for more then just ASE tho. the animated series and Ark2 had channels.

[grizzled meteor]

is abboration released yet?

[bleak ivy]

#announcements

[grizzled meteor]

i dont know what timezone they refere to

[bleak ivy]

thats in your timezone

[grizzled meteor]

so 12h from now then

[native wave]

it's using a discord timestamp which adjusts it to your timezone

[grizzled meteor]

thx

[final burrow]

r there any good mods that make mutations easier?

[frail crescent]

Anyone know the Map File name by chance?

[native wave]

should be Aberration_WP, but we won't know for sure until it hits

[bleak ginkgo]

Few mods have mutator : cyberstructure for sure, QOL+ might (that's all the one i know from our server but might be others)

[frail crescent]

Anyone here familiar with API, like really really familiar with it?

[stiff onyx]

ok i have everything done my only issue is the server is seeable by people but not joinable i did firewall i opened the ports does anyone know what im missing

it just says connection timed out

[frail crescent]

Mods on it?

[stiff onyx]

yes 8

@frail crescent

removing the mods did not work

[upbeat elk]

Can you not have Dino’s over 400? Every single higher level I had just randomly disappeared on all 5 of my servers. This hasn’t been an issue until now. My Dino’s were like 550+

[bleak ivy]

see the pins. nitrado did something stupid and added a default to the level cap

[peak sapphire]

They had a notice clear as day on their web interface too. That’s how I first spotted it

[bleak ivy]

wouldn't know, I don't use nitrado.

[toxic hazel]

If everything seems right might be worth calling your ISP to see if under a CGNAT, you cant port forward under it, can you join locally, you should be able to

[lunar cloud]

This is 100% a port issue, you need to use tools to verify the port is reachable all the way from public internet through the router, through to the server. Its either your servers firewall, or router not forwarding port or ISP not allowing it (rare case)
I would recommend to use a tool like nmap you can google it and download it, run it against your servers public IP and port nmap -sU <ip> -p <port> (To scan UDP)
Make sure ports are UDP.
The tool will tell you port is open\closed\filtered etc. You want to make sure it reports open or you will get nowhere

[solemn sinew]

Hi, im trying to get the S+ ini settings from the google sheet document he posted online however it wont let me copy the text. Does anyone know where else I can find the S+ ini settings?

[toxic hazel]

Right click the doc and save it as a pdf, can then copy it

[stiff onyx]

turns out i opened the correct ports on the wrong pc

all should be good now

[tough oracle]

What happens if I go over my ram limit when transfering servers

When I put two servers up I hit my memory at 100%, I haven’t transfered yet cause I’m scared I’ll loss stuff or mess corrupt my files

Could I upload my character, put one map down and the other up and then download my survivor? This is all a dedicated server

[wheat venture]

Why does ASA keep crashing when I get explorer notes?

[tranquil pewter]

difficult to say, normally after upload or when transfering before you are on the target server it saves you char in the cluster folder in a specific file, so as long the file is saved there without errors, you can join back source server or the target server

[gleaming wind]

There is a mod called "easy mutations" - I use it and it works great.

[tranquil pewter]

Good Mod is also RandomConfigs, you can configurate rolls, chance and points of mutations and much other things. So we use on our cluster on some servers 30 rolls, 100% chance, 254 points and finish are the maximum mutations babys 🙂 (without needing let die thousends of babies, this was the reason). works of course only without any level cap

[tranquil pewter]

and if you want secure, make a server savegame before transfering and put it away for secure, if something goes wrong, start the server with this savegame again and your char is back, because as long you are on a server, your char is saved in the server savegame

[tough oracle]

I see, will have to test later

[celest halo]

That is not default behavior, default does not save character data in the world file

[tough oracle]

So abb is coming out, I host dedicated servers, will I have to update my other maps? And does this happen by itself or do I have to redownload stuff

[distant hearth]

it will be a major version update , depending how u installed them will determine how you update them i guess

[celest halo]

Everything will have to be updated it's going to be a major version change

[tranquil pewter]

it is since ASE, thats also why you can read the players from a savegamefile for example with ARK Savegame Visualiser -> Tab Players -> this are the players saved in the savegame which are on the map when savegame was created

[jaunty vortex]

Update servers rather than maps. You’ll have to stop your servers and tell them to update.

[bold mason]

will the map launch for unofficial along side mains?

[celest halo]

Probably not, it's normally delayed some

Officials are the beta testors for unofficials 🤣

[jaunty vortex]

Not even Nitrado rented servers get it immediately, usually the free ones are at least 20 minutes earlier. If there are issues, can be several hours before NitradoPC and Public gets the update

[deep flower]

Yes you will need to run your update bat on your other maps. takes a few mins each

[celest halo]

What's the odds for officials getting it in 20min 🤣

[humble thicket]

Just wanted to ask, has anyone else had problems with ordering a nitrado server? Like I can't buy one it just cancels it, and it's not my bank

[wise kindle]

They requested that you open a ticket so they can help you with the purchase. Seems they are having volume issues.

[humble thicket]

Ah right ok thankyou so much

[wise kindle]

Its frustrating ik.

[abstract moth]

I'm trying to host a ASE dedicated Server, but when I start the ShooterGameServer.exe it's saying that full startup took 2.3 seconds, but when Inowhere try to find the server its no where to be found

[celest halo]

Guess the odds where not good, not even pushed for the client yet

[white garnet]

Hey all is "ASA Dedicated Server Manager" the one all the cool kids use or is there another one thats better?

[narrow perch]

is Abberration on Nitrado yet?

[celest halo]

It's not even released for the client

[final burrow]

i’ll try it out thanks

[gleaming wind]

you´re welcome ^^

[manic juniper]

b

[broken halo]

I use windows GSM

[white garnet]

cool, ill check it out ty

[crisp leaf]

This one is better than WindowsGSM, hands down

[acoustic shale]

hi guys so i tried to make a server in xbox but my friends couldn’t join they kept getting “join failed”

[tepid berry]

Real kings edit a batch file and update via steamcmd

[crisp leaf]

Why bother when ASA DSM does it for you

Countless other features too

Btw will there be a client update before AB will work?

[broken halo]

It's easier to set up maps but GSM is easier to manage multiple maps in my opinion and I kinda like having to code in the lines 😀

[topaz flume]

Hey everyone i hope all are okay

I have 2 things to say

1. The update got delay again

2. I having this problem that every time my ps5 ark ascended crashes

When i spawn a creature crashes. If i craft items crashes too. If i use the commands of remove clouds and fog its will crashes. Their any solution?

[tepid berry]

Because when ASM breaks, well...it breaks.

[crisp leaf]

Sounds like you’re playing single player

In Single player on PS5, I played all 3 maps and crashes start to happen maybe 20 or more hours into the game. The more you play, the more it crashes. It’s a memory problem, I don’t know how anyone finished the map… no issues on server.

[topaz flume]

Yep

[topaz flume]

But their no solution?

[crisp leaf]

No, hence why I’m now hosting my own server from my windows pc, and connecting to that 🤦🏻‍♂️. Playing PvE solo.

[topaz flume]

😦 well that sad

[crisp leaf]

This game is super disappointing given it’s been out 9 months? I watched countless “100 days” YT videos, everyone complained about the same problem, but it must be worse now, because I can make it crash within 30 secs every time.

[queen condor]

Is this set ups for PCs or server set ups, cause I was wondering if I should upgrade from the 2060 or not?

[topaz flume]

:"<

[fiery zealot]

for servers, but id probable upgrade from the 2060

[crisp leaf]

It took me so long to troubleshoot the game, I even contacted support and did everything they said, including console reset… then the game was already 2 weeks old and couldn’t get a refund…

Tried all 3 maps with no mods, all the same result. No crashes for like 20 hours of gameplay, then when the crashing does start, it just gets more frequent

[white garnet]

thats what i been doing since asa launch but its easier with a server manager lol

[topaz flume]

Wow

They really need to fix this

[crisp leaf]

I’ve played Ark for over 10 years (on and off, mostly off) I think, I have no hope for anything getting fixed. I played iOS, Pc, now PS5

[stray quest]

F

[crisp leaf]

I don’t see AB in Single player yet. I see it in official server but says not yet available. Should we get a client update first?

[native wave]

the steam depots haven't been updated

watching: server public and asalive, client public

[crisp leaf]

3:35am here, I knew I would be wasting my time. Off to bed!

[deep flower]

I finally figured it out and got it clustered. Thanks again for your help!

[crisp leaf]

What’s the reason to cluster? To support more players?

[deep flower]

All I had to do was add ArkMapMod=

xD

[native wave]

enable the ability to transfer between maps

[patent lily]

#GiveMeMyShadowCave

[crisp leaf]

Ah damn, I’m gonna need to do that then…

[crisp leaf]

Where does that go?

[deep flower]

In GUS but that is for ASE not ASA

Ah, I’m on ASA

[split rover]

the pve lost island server i played on yesterday has vanished of the server list

what happened

can annyone help me

[hasty tulip]

no

[split rover]

why did it disapear

[deep flower]

unofficial server or..? This is setup help btw

[split rover]

.is it just ofline

[native wave]

probably

[split rover]

it was set up by a random player

[deep flower]

you will have to contact them, no one here can help

[split rover]

if its offline thel will fix it themselves

considering there were like 10 people in total

at least

[jaunty vortex]

And nitradoPC for Nitrado rented servers.

[split rover]

theu prob will come back online themselves

i hope

but nothing can starve as long as the server offline right?

server is *

will the server come back online by itself?

thats

stupid

Reason: Mass Tagging

[stiff onyx]

its out for some of you correct?

[distant hearth]

ah the trolls have found us, noooo

[stiff onyx]

also any idea when we can host it

[split rover]

i mean i was on a pve lost island

[distant hearth]

not yet

[peak sapphire]

Keep an eye out on announcements

[stiff onyx]

it shows in steam but just lets me open the game

[split rover]

the pve lost island server i played on yesterday has dissapeared

is it just offline ir deleated

[peak sapphire]

Off topic to this channel bud

[native wave]

you have to wait for the public server branch to be updated. before that the asalive branch will be updated so that the official servers can get it. there will likely be a delay on the public branch being updated as they check out the official servers. always how it is

[split rover]

i can type in regular

[distant hearth]

you need to contact the server owner and see why, maybe it broke, maybe there broke and didnt pay anymore, only the owner can know

[split rover]

i dont have a way of doing that

[stiff onyx]

thanks man

[split rover]

so i juess

ill just wait

[native wave]

that is off topic for this channel. unless you're running the server and want help fixing it. just wait for it to come back up

[split rover]

till it comes back

ok

[distant hearth]

yep, hope it comes back online, as a genral rule its not a good idea to play on servers if you dont have a way to contact the owner, they come an go all time

[pastel wasp]

when will we be able to make a aberration server on nitrado

[distant hearth]

when they release to nitrado, wudnt expect any time soon, the delay is delayed again after a delay ,

[merry thorn]

Usually within a few hours of the drop though.

[native wave]

this chat is not a replacement for general or ark chat...it has a specific purpose, please stay on topic

[peak sapphire]

Anyway, does Rockwell have a loot drop?

An editable one?

[wise kindle]

I dont think so. I dont remember one in ASE.

[peak sapphire]

Yeah I combed over Beacon and didn’t see it. Just wanted to check on here

[distant hearth]

asa might get one, maybe , who knows lol

[wise kindle]

Yeah I dont remember any there.

[distant hearth]

it would be nice to have one, can presume if its added it will be in the same format as the others and editable

[peak sapphire]

All I wanted to do was add some blueprints for a mod instead of it being level locked so you still had to work for it. Guess I’ll add them to the alpha creatures instead

[distant hearth]

i think this on topic, one the mods i used in conan , wud allow you to setup a box and exchange an item for items earned in game, maybe theres an ark mod like that

[humble thicket]

cant download the mod anyone know how to fix it

[jaunty vortex]

which mod?

[humble thicket]

All

[jaunty vortex]

what exactly are you doing?

[humble thicket]

I will send it to you on dm

[humble thicket]

i can download other mods but the high storage sometimes doesnt download

the mods that are 1giga or more i cant download it

[jaunty vortex]

what plaform?

Console has storage limits for mods, have you downloaded too many?

[celest halo]

didnt they have download size limits also at one time

[bleak ivy]

not that i know of, current storage limit is 20GB.

[humble thicket]

Pc Xbox launcher

[jaunty vortex]

So Xbox app on PC?

Ark Survival Ascended or Evolved?

[humble thicket]

Ascended

[bleak ivy]

PC xbox counts as win10(microsoft store/PC gamepass). I don't think it has a storage limit I haven't messed with it much.

[jaunty vortex]

No, I don't think it has a limit either

[celest halo]

think its only limit is the amount of free space on drive game is installed on when it comes to on a pc

[red cedar]

We’re the frick is aberration

[jovial condor]

How do i setup my ab server?

[red cedar]

I’ve been in loading screen for 2 days

We’re is it

[worthy rapids]

I'm guessing Aberration_WP will be the map name?

[celest halo]

you wait for it to be released

[fluid patio]

If your using the AsaDedicatedserverManager they incorporated the Ab map files a month ago I’m just waiting to press the button to turn the server on
