[hidden talon]

I thought I was in the Nitrado discord LOL 😄 Just realised my mistake. Please ignore my comments 😄

[spare sparrow]

Is anyone having issues with structures locking? I have forceallstructurelock whatever it is to true but everything is still unlocked

[robust nymph]

Any workarounds for the decay still resetting on unofficial. Its been months and still no fix found.

[broken halo]

If the structures were placed before adding the line they will have to be locked manually with interaction wheel if the line isn't working then the option to lock won't show and you'll need to make sure it's in the right file and under the correct header

[spare sparrow]

Someone built a new base last night and it’s still not working. Hmph I don’t know. The option to lock is there but everything placed is unlocked

[broken halo]

Yeah that's weird if it shows option then setting is working usually placing new down sets it locked by default at least on my cluster

[tall palm]

Is it possible to allow foreign dinos on to Ab but to disable them to have flyers? I am not sure if the Zepplin counts as a flyer or not so did not want to mess up people being able to ride that but playing with some settings.

[wise kindle]

Not sure if a restart command works here. RCON isnt able to connect to the server once its down to send the command for it to come back up as far as I know. Only the shutdown commands work.

[robust nymph]

ForceAllStructureLocking=True
In gameusersettings.ini in the [ServerSettings] part.
That's working for us.

[spare sparrow]

It’s there.. but it’s not working. I really think Ark just wants to add to my grey hair.. 😂😂

[robust nymph]

Not a clue then sorry. I had an issue with it to when we started, and I can't remember what fixed it. Maybe an extra restart haha.

Ark does add grey hairs.
The auto decay timer constantly resetting is driving me nuts.

[spice nebula]

Hey, i get terrible ping on unofficial and undedicated servers. Is there a way to fix that?

[wise kindle]

When you tested if the fix worked, did you pick up the strcture/box and place it back down again? I know the setting wont reset inventory structures placed prior to the settings change.

Also is this PVE? Cuz not sure the setting works on pvp or not. Havent played pvp in several years.

[spare sparrow]

It’s PVE and someone built a new base last night after I changed it and still unlocked

[wise kindle]

What mods you running?
And dumb question but you verified the setting persists after reset? (Ark is Ark you know)

[spare sparrow]

Yes! I went back into config this morning and verified! Ark is so much fun 🙄 it’s on Astraeos maybe that is it?

[frail heron]

yes, self hosted, no server manager. We use command line setup only. I just want being able to restart the server. For now I have to kill the current process and start the command line again. I would like to automate it, like to have a server restart each morning.

[spare sparrow]

Admin panel, Dino levels, automated ark, utilities plus, arkitek, ummm discovery structures

I can’t remember all off the top of my head

[wise kindle]

Ohhh hmm thats such an unstable map yeah could be something there. Its so very new.
If you are positive its not a settings or other mod issue you could bring it up in Nekatus discord tho he will deny its his map regardless. At least it might put it into his mind to check on it.
More than once Ive seen ppl bring up bugs to him for him to full deny it and then 2 days later he puts out a fix for it. So couldnt hurt to get it into the discord there.
Otherwise I got nothing.

[spare sparrow]

It very well could be a mod… we have a few structure ones so could 100% be a mod

[wise kindle]

Which ones you got? Could also just be those mods on that map too.
Tons of bad structure mods out too.

As the map or mods update they could be breaking.

Oh one thing to try is readding the mod. To rule out a bad mod update.

[spare sparrow]

Let me get home so I can look on my computer rather than my phone…

[elder fox]

I tried googling but couldn’t get a clear answer.

Is it hard to add or remove items from drops in ASA on Nitrado?

[olive talon]

If you've got a pc/laptop, download Beacon and it's super easy

[elder fox]

I’ll have to give that a try. Gonna try to add train tracks and the new linked storage 😁

[olive talon]

I don't know how the BTT stuff works in drops, but drop edits are included in the free version ^

[elder fox]

Thank you so much for the help!

[weak hare]

I need help can't log into my xbox one Ark server from a laptop using microsoft version

and yes i did turn on crossplay on the website 😦

[wise kindle]

Nitrado?
Did you restart the map after the change?
Also this is ASA correct?

[weak hare]

it's on evolved , i did restart the server about 10 time since i bought it yesterday

[distant hearth]

evolved xbox ark server dont have crossplay so it sounds to me like you brought a pc server , to get the microsoft one i think you have to do it through the xbox app. prob best to ask in nitrados own discord or customer support, they might be able switch the server if you have the wrong type

[weak hare]

i bought an xbox one Server on the microsoft nitrado ap 😦

[distant hearth]

oh that shud be right then , make sure the filters are set to all when you search for it then

[weak hare]

i did it but can't found it

[wise kindle]

Can you describe the error you are seeing?

[weak hare]

i can't even found the server on ark

[wise kindle]

Is it possible you made settings changes while the map was running or before the map was done setting up?
It takes 30 minutes for the setup to complete. Making changes before this time can corrupt the installation.

[weak hare]

shall i reset it ?

[wise kindle]

You can hit the REINSTALL button on the left and then give it a full 30 minutes to reinstall.
Then ALWAYS shutdown the map fully before making any changes.

[weak hare]

kk

i'll try that and i will let you know in about an hours

[wise kindle]

Ok sounds good

[weak hare]

i hope it's not that xbox server are shit and ain't crossplay laptop :'o

[distant hearth]

they are , i just dont remeber a xplay option for them, its along time since i ran one through nitrado so prob just forgot or got confused my end

[iron bronze]

Anyone know of any mod or command that makes the map really dark? Looking to sort out a spooky event 👻

[distant hearth]

you wud have to use gamma command id think, each player wud need to input it

[iron bronze]

Yea, I thought so...thanks

[pliant acorn]

have anybody problems with steamcmd login as anoym? evertime it comes only fail to connect

[distant hearth]

worked fine for me earlier when i updated, lemme quick try again to check
EDIT- i can connect no problem

[pliant acorn]

okay thank you....i dont know whats happen -.-"

[distant hearth]

yea maybe you have a internet connection issue, if the batch file or w.e you use has worked fine before , might be worth just reset the router quickly

[wise kindle]

Try setting day/night so its only 5 minutes of daytime. It will give you something very close to what you need without screwing up the normal cycle (turning daytime fully off is definitely not advisable.)

[distant hearth]

oh thats a good idea, didnt even think of it

[iron bronze]

Yea, the issue is that the moon is too bright...I will try it anyway though ^^

[wise kindle]

I know from experience that if I turned off daytime completely, the game would eventually glitch and then SNAP forward in time about a week and if you were on the map at the time, well you died from pooping and starving instantly. It was a ballad of screams and terror. Not the intended terror I hoped for tho lol.

That day was hilarious btw. But yeah, dont do what I did lol.

[wise kindle]

Thats an good mod idea. A no moon mod.

[iron bronze]

New question....best event map? lol

[distant hearth]

for haloween has to be ab right ? but on asa its janky atm so no idea lolz

[iron bronze]

I'm thinking more a modded event map/flat map

[distant hearth]

i havent looked through all the asa mod maps, i know on ase we used to use a mod map that was just that , a dead flat square, i guess it depends on what ure trying to achieve

[iron bronze]

Yea, fair enough

[weak hare]

been over 30 mins , just shut it down add crosplay gonna relaunch and will hope it work

[distant hearth]

after shut down, wait 5 mins, make the changes, session name etc, then save it , wait a minute then restart it

[weak hare]

fuck i didnt wait xD i just change name and relaunch for not with crossplay

not seeing it @distant hearth

[distant hearth]

takes a while to show up in lists usually 5mins but i allow 10 for new servers

[weak hare]

then im be back in 10

@distant hearth would you be able to found it on xbox ?

[green tangle]

how to fix error "Not loggin it"

[weak hare]

not working yes

[distant hearth]

no sorry i have steam versions

[weak hare]

i have both but not my friend cuz i would have it working with steam lol but with xbox idk

omg finaly now all preset to redo

[karmic bane]

hi, can someone help with an issue im facing when im trying to play with my gf ASE on a non dedicated session?

when she tries to join, she receives the error "connection timed out" and idk why, i was never able to fix it in months

i never got to play ASE online and i really want

some old guide from a guy who ran in the same issue said that port forwarding fixes this issue, its that true?

[weak hare]

nice my serv spawned i turn it off change setting i wanted to , never spawning ever again lol ima gonna need play all x1 or what 😦

[wise kindle]

Can you be a bit more specific? What spawn? This is kind of confusing.

[wise kindle]

Non dedicated tends to have a lot of conneciton issues. I believe there are some pointers in the pins for this channel that you can try but otherwise the connection issues are the main reason alot of players turn to dedicated servers to play with friends.

[weak hare]

it doesn't appear anymore on the list i mean lol

[broken halo]

I'm guessing with command line setup you would need json or rcon controll added in I use windows GSM so I have a little more control with basic automation I'm not the right guy for all the fancy stuff 😉 😜 @distant hearth might know or may be able to point you in a better direction

[wise kindle]

After you make changes and especially when you add mods, you may need to wait at least 15 minutes and sometimes longer for the map to be relisted.

Patience is a virtue.

[weak hare]

i didn't add any mods just added like x4 harverst and shit like this

do i need to restart from 0 ? XD

[wise kindle]

No I would just ensure it is started and wait.

i have maps that take 20 minutes to start and then another 15 to show up.

[weak hare]

nitrado say it's online so , and map is the island

[wise kindle]

Sidenote: you gotta be patient with servers. Or you are going to lose your mind.

[weak hare]

lol it's so much easier with steam server , next time ima get her to buy a fucking laptop instead of an xbox u_u

[wise kindle]

You bought an xbox to play Ark?

[distant hearth]

i think you wud need to use some sort script/batch file possibly in powershell to send a rcon command to the server to shut it down with cheat doexit , then have the script wait a minute or check if the .exe is running, then it needs to open the server.exe . this cud then be scheduled to run daily at a "x" time using windows own task scheduler.
This is my best guess i dont know for certain as do it manually atm, its something i need to look into in the future just havent had time.
It may be easier to find some sort server manager with the daily restart option if they exist for asa (unsure as havent looked at them )

[weak hare]

bought ark on microsoft xD i had not played ark since they added redwood on the island

[humble thicket]

i have two dung beetles collecting but they do not destribute the fert. am on unoffcial, anything i can do? they are in less than 2 foundations from the crop plots

[distant hearth]

they dont auto distrubute fert, just auto collect shit, you wud need a mod to have them distrubute

[humble thicket]

aaaaahhh oki that makes sense. thanks mate

[gentle niche]

I'm using steamCMD, cant update my server 😦 stuck on 54.11 never had this issue before :S

[distant hearth]

how are u updating the server? batch file or other?

[gentle niche]

app update command, has worked every time until now >.<

[distant hearth]

so u just open stmcmd an then type a command into its window?

[gentle niche]

login anonymous and then app update 2430930 validate

[distant hearth]

you need to give it the location of the file it needs to update,
if u know the locations the files are on your pc, heres a simple batch file i use to start stm cmd an update my servers, you will have to change the locations for where ure is installed start "" "C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[gentle niche]

I have the server files under steamapps in the steamCMD folder so you only need to specify location when installing server files for the first time, when updating you just call the app id :S has worked every time until now, i'll try that though thanks

[distant hearth]

it never worked for me unless i specified where the server was located

the good yhing about the batch file is i can have it on my desktop so its super easy to just double click an let it do its thing, validate isnt needed but i add it becuase my internet sucks so better to have it verify the files for the minute or so it takes

[gentle niche]

just restarted everything and tried again and it worked lol XD lord knows, i'll add that to my batch file though will be much easier 🙂 can you add this to the server startup batch so it checks upon launch or is it best to have separate one?

[distant hearth]

best to have seperate , if not it sometimes doesnt work on big updates (might just be my bad internet)
there is a way to add a wait command to the batch file but i cant rem it tbh so just keep them seperate, plus i dont always want to take a minor update

[gentle niche]

thank you 🙂

[warped zodiac]

I have a nitrado server and mods won’t work to do a Dino wipe for some reason and the check box resets itself after each wipe. Is there a way to set it up on ini files?

[celest halo]

you dont need to, force_install_dir is only if you want it somewhere that is not default location

[distant hearth]

doesnt hurt to have it there though, so i just leave it from the original install , that batch file can install a server and also continue to update it, im lazy i guess

[high jacinth]

anyone running an ark cluster on k8s?

[worn frigate]

Is there a way to to run a cluster off Xbox? Or code the servers from a laptop that can’t run ark

[cinder abyss]

What do people have for their tamed Dino stat level multipliers in the ini? Trying to make mine Official levels but still too boosted on 1

[broken halo]

Give windows GSM a look it has automated functions and server control nicely packaged in one ui for multiple maps or even multiple games

[whole gust]

Multiple people on my Nitrado-hosted unofficial server are reporting losing their character. When they log in, it prompts them to create a new character as if their character save is gone (despite their character still being in the world).
My tribe of about 8-10 people also got wiped off the map - everyone including the tribe leader (me) was removed from the tribe when we logged in. I was able to fix this by claiming all the buildings and dinos and starting a new tribe, but there's clearly a big issue here.
Any ideas what it might be?

I have already tried: restarting the server, and rolling back to a previous save

[distant hearth]

you will need to contact nitrado support for help with issues like that

[frail ferry]

Anyone know a working command path to give panel flags in game? Like from mod / bot? I can’t find one that actually gives the flags

[spring cairn]

best self-hosted containerised cluster setup? ideally with a control panel. any open source projects everyone is using?

[frail heron]

Thanks. WindowsGSM looks good. Is it only for ASA? I have seen they only have a plugin for ASA but we are running ASE.

[frail heron]

Thanks for the reply. I guess I have to check how I can setup a scheduled check. For now, I haven't had success even when I put the startup command in the scheduler. It's not showing anything visible, even though the scheduler tells me, it is running the command. I tried for starting the maps on Windows restart, so that I don't have to start them manually after our provider updates the windows system.

[humble thicket]

anybody knows where i can find the ini settings (all of them) for smalltribes 4.5x?

[tribal flame]

Does anyone have a config for settings or some tips to get the game running well?

[celest briar]

This has probably been asked and answered, but with the new dinos like the sea turtle, what do I need to change to get them to start spawning.

[olive talon]

This channel is for server setup help. Look for the performance guide in #bobs-with-probs pinned messages.

[olive talon]

No configs necessary, they spawn on maps with ocean containers. Maybe do a dino wipe and then give it time for them to spawn.

[celest briar]

Okay thanks

[sly escarp]

I need help

[distant hearth]

small tribes is 2.5x , the dynamic config file can be found here,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Web_API#Dynamic_configurations_(ASE/ASA) on top of that you wud need to add in the other settings officials use, like item capping,dino level capping etc

i need some help

i rented a server for ase for me and my friends and i made so modifications to my game.ini file and now my dinos dont earn exp

[distant hearth]

there are mutiple values that control xp, look in the ini for anything related to xp an set it back to =1

if you can remeber what you messed with just change it back

in future make a copy of the ini files before changes an u always have a backup to return to....

[thorny totem]

alright ill try that

i found the issue

when i wrote the code for it i made the override exp 1

instead of what it normally is

[graceful stirrup]

just asking but are nitrado servers crossplay? (specifically with xbox and steam). my friend is trying to join our ark server my friend owns, shes put in all the right server filters but she still cant find it for some reason? any help would be much appreciated

[distant hearth]

ark ascended is , ark evolved is not

if it is ascended you may need to look in general settings an set the server to crossplay , it will need to also only have xplay mods on it(if it has mods)

[graceful stirrup]

ah ok

i think we found the issue tho

[frosty hollow]

is ther server port for asa 27015?

[lunar cloud]

i do.. lots of fun 😂

[lunar cloud]

default is 7777 UDP, if you dont specify one

[frosty hollow]

i got that but i also got this

i got 7777 and 27015

[native wave]

27015 was typically the steam query port in ASE....it is not in ASA anymore as ASA uses Epic now

[outer pike]

Curious any other servers dealing with this issue. When transferring maps resources are vanishing

[solid tide]

Why is it that i only have 11 gigs of mods downloaded but it says i have no more mod space? ps5 has 20 gigs 🙄

Would OVH's Game-1 run well for 1-2 maps, small, private server with 20 slots each (but likely no more than 10 on average) with minimal QOL mods, no heavy, large mods?

[frail crescent]

Anyone know if SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier affects the sky drops?

[lunar cloud]

short answer is yes. long answer, is i'm not sure this config is effective in ASA as its been marked as ? for ASA in the WIKI
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[frail crescent]

We have a boost on our server for the weekend, yeah the Cave drops, the ocean ones, all have boosted items, but just seems like the sky drops are just meh

[spring cairn]

We have a Nitrado server with the same cluster id, as our two servers running on a VPS. But the sessions on cluster to transfer aren't showing on the Nitrado side.

[distant hearth]

far as i know nitrado wont let you cluster outside of there network.
you can try there discord or support for confirmation

[lunar cloud]

not possible as far as i know. clustered instances need to be able to access the cluster folder (set by ClusterDirOverride ) or the default one. Nitrado and your VPS need to share the same file system \ disk in order to make it work and you wont have access to their infrastructure

[frail crescent]

Does anyone know the file path for the new Turtle Algae? The Wiki is incorrect.

[spring cairn]

Right, so we'd have to setup a network drive between VPS if we have servers spanning multiple machines. Gotcha! This is handy to know for future if we ever run 3+ servers at the same time. But I think we'll only ever really have 2, The Island as our "hub" and then the current map.

[celest halo]

might be /Game/ASA/Dinos/Archelon/Dinos/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Veggie_TurtleAlgae_ASA.PrimalItemConsumable_Veggie_TurtleAlgae_ASA have not tested it

[spring cairn]

Is there a way for us to copy in our Aberration player (specimen implant with bosses killed and levels) into our old TheIsland_WP save. I've tried overwriting all the player data files, but this doesn't appear to work.

Maybe the anti-corruption file is auto-reverting the player files?

[bleak ivy]

assuming you are using default files (IE not combined with the map file. like how ASE official saves are)
that is all you should need to do, just move over the player file and respawn

[spring cairn]

Oh respawn!?

Oh, so it'd give you a new implant. That makes sense, we'll try that now. 🙂

Yep, that worked. Thank you so much!

[frail crescent]

Can you let me know how you got the path name?

[celest halo]

from the manifest file

[frail crescent]

The ones in the base Ark folder? The Text Files?

[celest halo]

yeah, the Manifest_UFSFiles_Win64.txt one

it gives paths to the .uasset file with that you can figure out the BP path in game lol

[frail crescent]

AH ok i see now

But yes you are correct, that is the path

How can I get unfertilized eggs in Ark Primal Fear mode?

[unkempt kayak]

Whenever I enter the server, it always crashes and has to be restarted.
The crash occurs when I log in with a character who is sleeping in a sleep pod inside a large TEK vacuum chamber.
It doesn't crash when I enter a different location with another character.

Also, every time a restart occurs, the message "Installing new update" appears.

Do I have to reinstall the server?

no i just use plain manifests to run it

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesDamiensAtoll_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gacha",EntryWeight=0.5,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gacha_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Gacha_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5)))

In this piece of .ini code can someone explain to me what the two numbers do specifically??

[celest minnow]

Hello, I'm trying to run a dedicated for me and my friend. the sever said it has completed start up and its advertising to join, but i cant seem to find it in the sever list. From the tutorial i watched there also should be a game.ini with all the sever setting but i can seem to find that either. any help would be appreciated.

[distant hearth]

entryweight is the weight of the specific dino called in the same line, higher weight means its more likely to get picked from that spawn group over other dinos in that group
MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5 is total % of that spawn group the dino is allowed to take up i believe

[distant hearth]

the ini files are located in the server install path at ,
shootergame\saved\config\windowsserver
some entries go in in gameusersetting.ini , some in game.ini, they need to be put in the correct file and under the correct header , full list can be found here
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[tawdry pawn]

So does that mean 1 = 100% for the second one?

And for the first one does that mean it can be any number arbitrarily as long as its above? just essentially a value that means the higher one has priority?

Or does it have to be a specific thing for the table to work?

[distant hearth]

yea 1.0 is 100% of max , depends what you want on the second question , i dont really explain things very well , here has all the info ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Creature_Spawn_related

but essentially yea higher dino weight = it will get picked over others until it reaches the max % of them is allowed in that group

[dapper pebble]

I’m running an unofficial server from my media PC for use with playing with friends on Xbox and PC. It is working fine and everything, but when joining it always prompts us for user/pass. is there anything I can do on Xbox or PC to save that info for the few people using it? It’s not bad on PC but the Xbox folk take a bit

I remember on ASE the Xbox app had a dedicated host where I could just join if I was friends with my Xbox host account

[celest minnow]

So there seems to be a " GameUserSettings.ini" but no "game.ini" is there a generator for that file or just one for the gameusersettings one?

[distant hearth]

that file is missing or blank on a fresh server install i.e with nothing in it , it is just using default settings
you make the file an name it Game.ini then add any lines that you wish to change the values of , the link i gave in the previous post explains what the settings are , where they go and under which specific header they go

a random bit of code from a game.ini wud look like this ,

BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=2
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.125
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0.5
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=6.0
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=14
bAllowUnlimitedRespecs=true```

the header at the top and each specific command on its own line

[celest minnow]

Gotcha, thank you very much.

[dapper pebble]

Are there any breeding mods that will show the original base stats along with current stats? We are working towards starting a Dino army for bosses but it’s hard to keep track of ones we tamed and leveled versus ones we tamed at high level

[distant hearth]

you can make a whitelist in the server files and add -exclusivejoin command for players to join without the need for the password , you will need to get the indvidual eos ids,
see here for more info ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Player_Whitelisting

[distant hearth]

spyglass mods allow you to see the dino stat points, or in game after beating alpha overseer you get tek binos that allow it to

[dapper pebble]

Ok thank you I will look into these

With the premium mod sale going, what do you folks think is the best premium map to add to a cluster?

[supple urchin]

Howdy, not sure if this is a wildcard thing, or a setting that's changed that we can't find, but thought worth a shot asking here - i admin on a player dedicated cluster - we had custom boss loot (bit more ele, tek pieces etc) but for the past like 9 months it doesn't drop anything but the standard ele. Is there a way to fix this back to custom, or is it just broken?

^^ ASE

[wise kindle]

Forglar was voted the best new premium mod map by the community.
I agree with the community 😉

You can see a mod review and the winners of the vote on youtube from the Curseforge channel.

[keen sorrel]

Is there a list of RCON commands that work?

[trim yew]

with the Astraeos map mod.... do i need the wardrobe, structures and ships mod too or does it come with it?

[distant hearth]

they are stand alone mods, can install them or not, the wardobe one is custom cosmetic iirc an does not go on the server, its just client side

[trim yew]

okay, what about the Trireme Ships? that one doesnt say skin or cosmetic...

[distant hearth]

its a stand alone mod, if you want them add it to the server , if you dont, leave it off

[trim yew]

okay, thanks

[distant hearth]

the server creates its own auto backup file every two hours , after about 20 it then starts to overwrite them , is possible it just hasnt got to that point its deleting its own backups yet?

[high jacinth]

Ah yes that could be. Its only been 6 hours.

ish

[distant hearth]

100% thats it then

[high jacinth]

makes sense

thank you 🙂

[sick arrow]

Hello, I'm setting up my server and I recently was on another unofficial server and when you knocked out a wild dino on that server, it started with 50% of it's maximum food. Does anyone know how this was done?

How did you make wild dino's food drop to 50% when knocking it out?

[distant hearth]

it wud of been with the wild dino food drain mutiplier set in the game.ini ,
WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.0
is the default , i think increasing it makes the food drop when taming,not sure the number to get exactly 50% though, prob just try 5.0 for a start an see how u go

[sick arrow]

I thought it could be this but its not that the food is dropping faster, its that the dino starts at 50% hunger when it gets knocked out. I really like this way of doing it but if I can't find the answer I will use the "WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=5.0", you mentioned. Thanks for your help!

But maybe it is a mod? There are some custom mods that are specific for that cluster and I have a feeling it is in their mod they are using.

[distant hearth]

yea cud be a mod, look at there list of mods an the see what each does to find out

[sick arrow]

The server is Arkbound. They have a mod called "Arkbound Additions"... I have a feeling the changes could be in that mod.

[celest halo]

its not Arkbound ASA Additions that one adds cave building

[sick arrow]

Ahh ok what about Arkbound Extras?

I joined their discord and asked the server owner. I'm hoping he might tell me but he might not want to tell me his secret : P

[celest halo]

you can look up the mods on curseforge

[distant hearth]

i just looked up the mods an yea likey the extras, as they had it commisioned an the it just states that options are only ini configurable...
likely there not wanting to share

[sick arrow]

I might get ChatGPT to script this for me. I've made Ark Fishing Scripts and Discord Bots with ChatGPT so I recon it will be able to do this, espially since the new version of ChatGPT is much better than the ones i used in the past

[distant hearth]

good luck and have fun

[sick arrow]

Oof looks like that is out of the question. The DevKit for ASA is 700GB

Only have a 500gb HD
Looks like WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=5.0 it is.

Thats done. Not as good as wild dino hunger going to 50% upon knockout but should speed things up to "insta" tame levels.

Next cool thing I saw in another server I went to. They changed the boss summoning item requirements from artifact/trophies to snow globes. I like this idea for multiple reasons. It will take longer than scripting the hunger thing would have becuase I want to adjust all the dinos that drop trophies + artifact containers to drop snow globes. And put a weight reduction on the snowglobes. And adjust the boss summoning requirements. But this can all be done through ini settings.

[distant hearth]

beacon omni ark can handle that , just takes a few clicks once u learn how

[sick arrow]

haha yeah i have that installed, it makes everything so much easier. Do you recon its worth buying a subscription for a year of updates?

[distant hearth]

i do , makes things way easier , but it depends on the useage i guess, like the drop thing with snow globes is in the free version .
summoning requirements im not sure on or how to do it as never tried

[exotic stone]

Hi guys my friend has a modded server on a mod map and for some reason out other friend on xbox can't get on the server keep kicking her out of game completely to the xbox menu any ideas on how to fix this issue thanks

[celest halo]

Are all the mods crossplay

[native moss]

Mods Ark survive evolved need update

I'm having problems even with the mod made by me, I've given an update but I have a texture error

[lavish stone]

anyone would know if there is a setting for the robot from bobs tall tales keeps working even when no one is online?

Ark: SE Server Listing Error

Hi I'm hoping somebody here will know as my research isn't fruitful yet.

I'm trying to list my server on server Ark server advertisement websites but each one is saying my server is not online when I put in the IP / Query port.. Yet, I'm currently online in the server and so are other people from around the country. Any ideas?

EDIT: All of my servers show up on Battlemetrics without issue.

[distant hearth]

try ip:gameport

[cinder jolt]

I did that as well and it didn't work. It's very inconsistent. I put in a ticket on a few places to help identify the issue.

But as an update, I spammed the "check connection" button serveral times until it finally said connected. I got 1 server listed of many. LOL I'm unsure why it's not taking it on the first attempt when it's online for myself and others.

[novel sentinel]

hey

i need to find out where to change settings like show floating blood damage on a server

cant find it in gameusersettings.ini in the server files

and i need to find other stuff out like where to change harvest

its ark ascended

[distant hearth]

ShowFloatingDamageText=true
all settings what file they go in and what header they shud be under can be found here ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[novel sentinel]

also how do i add admins?

[distant hearth]

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

[elder fox]

Trying to increase level cap on my server, is it very difficult?

[distant hearth]

i dont think its possible on asa

[novel sentinel]

thanks

[crisp dune]

why cant my friend join my non dedicated ark server on pc when we both got the game on Microsoft

[novel sentinel]

did you portforward?

[crisp dune]

?

[novel sentinel]

oh

non dedicated

[crisp dune]

yes

[novel sentinel]

why cant you join, what does it say

[crisp dune]

It just says join failed

[novel sentinel]

your playing microsoft using xbox right

[crisp dune]

no im on pc

[novel sentinel]

yeah

but when you are playing its on microsoft

[crisp dune]

and we have both brouth it though the microsoft store

[novel sentinel]

okay

when you press win + G does it show a menu?

if so invite eachother through that menu

[distant hearth]

non dedicated is notoriously buggy at best times, try have your friend host instead, some peoples routers block incoming connections or any external antivruses /antimalwares etc

[crisp dune]

it shows things like screenshots and achevments

[bleak ivy]

open the friends menu, then invite through that.

xbox social

[crisp dune]

he has just told me he has to go for today so if you have any suggestions for what we could try tommor that would be great or i can just msg again tommor

[bleak ivy]

best you can do is use the xbox invite system and then keep trying.
restart the non-dedi if it doesn't work for too long (I find that it stops accepting at all)
not sure if this effects anything on ASA but ASE it would help to join a server of the same map beforehand (might be placebo tho lol)

[crisp dune]

if we had to make our own dedicated server how would we do that?

[bleak ivy]

you are ASA?

[crisp dune]

Soz no clue what that means

[bleak ivy]

are you playing ark survival ascended or ark survival evolved

[crisp dune]

Evoved

[bleak ivy]

you'd need a second PC/xbox to run a dedicated.

or rent from nitrado

[crisp dune]

ok

dose that other pc need to be powered on all the time or can it be powered off and still work

[bleak ivy]

just make a second xbox account and switch to it after downloading ark on the main. then both can run at the same time.

[bleak ivy]

a PC needs to be on when you want it to be on.

[crisp dune]

ok

[crisp dune]

so just checking i understand this
Make a new xbox acount
Set up a dedicated server on their
Sign out of that account
Sign into the other account
And then play on that acount

And would i need to buy ark again?

[bleak ivy]

no, thats why you download ark on the main

xbox/PC xbox has sharing by default

unlike steam, its fine for almost all games regardless of the other person.

[crisp dune]

if i set up the dedicated server tonight will it work tommor or would i have to sign in again

[bleak ivy]

it'd work for as long as its running.

[crisp dune]

ok i will try and set one up

so where would i make the new account via (soz i am hopeless with tech)

[bleak ivy]

the only issue is that you need a second PC since we don't have server files and have to go through the game client.

[bleak ivy]

xbox or microsoft.

[crisp dune]

Wait thought u said i did not need a 2nd pc

[bleak ivy]

second PC/xbox

non-dedi doesn't require anything extra but has issues. dedicated is only hosting it to play you need a second device.

[crisp dune]

ow

i will not set one up then if i need a second pc

unless is thier a website i can use to buy a dedcated

[bleak ivy]

nitrado allows you to rent them.

make sure you get an ark survival evolved (ASE) and Xbox server

[crisp dune]

ok

[bleak ivy]

oh, you also have to go through the nitrado app not the website

[crisp dune]

how much roughtly dosew it cost

[bleak ivy]

$15.49 US

thats monthly. servers are expensive

[crisp dune]

yea not paying that lol

anyway gonna go see ya

[rotund scaffold]

Anyone else got the problem that you can find your clusters map on your server ? Was working perfectly

[novel sentinel]

i tried this but this still isnt working]

[broken halo]

Check and make sure player servers is checked on bottom right of search page

Especially if it's not a nitrado server

[rustic garnet]

Will the fear to get dodorex also be on my server?

[distant hearth]

it works , if its asa make sure to be using eos ids

[novel sentinel]

I was following the guide, it gave me the OOS not the EOS since I’m on Steam
I put in the oos (also tried with steamid without any luck)
Relaunched the server
Did enablecheats (my admin pin)
Tried to give myself a fiber to see if it works
Didn’t work
I did enablecheats again
Tried it again
Didn’t work

[distant hearth]

all player ids in ark ascended are eos ids no matter what platform, its only ase you use steam ids

you will also need to use cheat before any cheat
i.e
cheat gcm

[novel sentinel]

Yeah

So It should be enabled

But isn’t
The cheat I did is cheat gfi Fibers 1 0 0

Didn’t work

1 1 0*

[distant hearth]

i dont know what youve done then , it shud be as simple as following the steps from that link to setup whitelist.
or to enable manually in game you need a server admin password set , then do

cheat gcm```

[novel sentinel]

I honestly don’t know why it’s not working

[distant hearth]

if youre setting the admin password via a batch file command, make sure that ?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxx is last in the line of ?command strings
if your doing it in the gus.ini make sure to stop the server, set the password , save it, then restart server

[celest halo]

thats not going to do anything there is no "fibers" its fiber

[novel sentinel]

It isn’t, it’s fibers

[celest halo]

wiki says cheat gfi Fiber 1 0 0 or cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Fibers.PrimalItemResource_Fibers'" 1 0 0

tested it your right, wiki is wrong lmao

[distant hearth]

they prob both work, gfi generally dont have be exact

[wise kindle]

Only thing I can see that might cause this is having a password with forbidden letter combos in it

If you are console, its ALOT so best to check that out

[celest halo]

fiber does not work with gfi

[wise kindle]

Like if your password is "Felix" its a forbidden word, and wont work even if its set correctly. And so on.

[bleak ivy]

should just be xbox. and the filter should work fine if they are longer then what is filtered. D3s is banned but if i type D3solat3 its fine
hurts PC xbox more since it filters as they type instead of after they are done like console xbox. (at least it works this way for me)

[wise kindle]

Agreed. Xbox inputs.

But something so consider if you cant get a password to work. If you are on an Xbox, you might have issues where others do not.

But I think he stopped reading so eh.

[bleak ivy]

yeah, try typing them in the server search to see.

[wise kindle]

Another note: if you cant see the enablecheats line listed when you scroll up, it was rejected by the game filter. So that would nail the problem right there.

[rotund scaffold]

Yea is nitrado

[rotund scaffold]

Was working perfectly

[karmic thicket]

Guys anyone know a mod that act like a personal cloud inventory storage? Kinda like the /backpack plugin in minecraft

[lavish stone]

there are plugins for this too, with a similiar thing

ark-server-api.com

[karmic thicket]

Can i know which is it? the closest I can find is Shadowhunter Cloud but it's kinda buggy with the UI

[lavish stone]

vaultorama, does upload too

[indigo dagger]

Something that has been bugging me for a while, is how things dinos drop such as eggs and poop, wont generate if there isnt a player online and in render distance. Is there a server setting that can be changed to address that? If so, are there any tradeoffs such dinos wandering through walls or falling through floors? Any help would be appreciated.

[hazy frigate]

Hiya. I just recently got my Ark server (it is modded) and whenever I try join it says “ unable to install mod map “ - the map I’m using is Fjordur: it seems like a silly question but is this simply because I have mods and some may be not working ?

[olive talon]

Could be, try removing the mods first and see. Make sure you do have fjordur downloaded.

[native moss]

Open your console în game press Enablecheats space admin pasword and press enter
Or cheatcgm space admin pasword and press enter

[fallen shoal]

Is there a way to make one of my buildings on my Ark server indestructible if I’m the admin?

I’m trying to build an embassy where all different tribes can meet but not mess up the building

[distant hearth]

not with anything in the base game, there might be mods that do it though maybe

[fallen shoal]

Ok thanks

[hazy frigate]

Yeah it’s gotta be a mod thing: before it says it it will say “ installing mods 1 () “ for a split second. Fjordur is fine as I ran my own server and loaded into ot in single player just has to be a mod glitch

[rustic garnet]

Will fear also be available on unofficial servers? And will dodorex be tamable?

[olive talon]

Yes, all event mods are available to unofficials shortly after release. We do not know what will be within this fear event.

[celest halo]

For what I was not the one having issues, I don't have to open console and enablecheats to be an admin on my cluster

[native moss]

sorry for that

[lone slate]

Is anything gonna ever get done about duping on unofficial servers? It’s getting way out of hand 😭

We need a respawn delay on spawning in after transfer 🙏

[novel sentinel]

Can I get some help with admin on a steamcmd server? I did all it says on the wiki and no matter what command I put into console it doesn’t work

[barren flume]

Can I uncryo inside of tek cave on unofficial if I have the cryopod nerf off? We are a two man team and want to run tek cave.

[livid reef]

that's either an official issue or a mod issue. nothing about being unofficial would directly cause that

[olive talon]

It's a game issue.. happens on officials too.

[hazy stone]

Anyone know if we can edit the player level and applied Dino levels after tame in ASA, like we could in ASE?

Ark SE Help

Hi guys, so this is in regards to the S+ Mod (Structures Plus).

I've added this to my config settings: AllowIntegratedSPlusStructures=false so that way our crafting pages aren't full of duplicates...

But, I run a PvP server and the S+ Dedicated Storage is broken. I'd like to disable the S+ Dedi Storage engram and enable the Vanilla Dedi Storage.

I've managed to disable the S+ dedicated version but no matter what I try to add I cannot seem to enable the vanilla dedi storage. Any ideas?

[wise kindle]

Custom cosmetics arent added as mods to servers. These are client side only. The players install the mod on their client to use them.
Players then click the “eyeball” icon in the Cosmetics tab to see the Custom cosmetics they have installed.

[high jacinth]

Ahh ok thnak you

[quaint pilot]

So our cluster is experiencing the timers refreshing on daily reset, therefore never allowing decay of old bases. Has anyone found a fix for this issue?

[high jacinth]

Whats the average memory dedicated servers use? Im sitting at 14-15GB for the island and 13-14GB for scorched with 0 players and nothing built yet. Is this normal or is Proton on linux causing increased memory usage?

[opal osprey]

is there a good multi-server compatible server manager for ASA? thinking something like Ark Server Manager, but for ASA

[wise kindle]

Ensure that all decay timers are set the same for both PVE and PVP modes - even if you just PVE.
For some reason if they arent set identically it causes the timers to refresh on server reset.

[last magnet]

I use ASA Dedicated Server Manager to manage my cluster

[quaint pilot]

Thank you so much for responding! We will give it a try and see if it fixes it. I appreciate you ❤️

what would u guys say is the best manager currently?

that does like mods and clusters yk

[cinder jolt]

asm for ase 🙂

[grim sinew]

i have been using ASADedicatedManager. really love it

[broken halo]

Does that one make you run a separate windows for each map? I tried one before and updates and restarts was a pain I've been using windows GSM with plugin it's one ui screen so easy update and restarts but all editing is old school ini line changes 😅 no sliders or ui for changes

[grim sinew]

it has seperate windows for each map. automated updates, options for automated restart schedules, all settings can be done in the app or in the ini

[static onyx]

I have a nitrado server and the gigas and carches are not spawning at all. what am i doing wrong that theyre so damn rare more than normal

[ripe oracle]

Do you know the 3 spaens? What map ark you are on ase asa?

[static onyx]

the island. yup been a long time the island player since ASE

[ripe oracle]

You can spot a giga on north of the map, tek mountain the mountain on your way to tek which is south and finally the closest mountain to carnivore island I always find gigas here. Carcharos I only have seen them on tek mountain

[static onyx]

i render that area like 4x in 24 hours and nothing

volcano, both snow mountains and metal mountain etc

[ripe oracle]

The mountain I was talking is when you go from swam redwoods to tek there is a mountain with possible spawn

When I am not on official might take a long time. Are you using dino finder mod?

[static onyx]

yep got simple creature finder

[ripe oracle]

Just test it to see if you have a bug

[static onyx]

the only time i get them is RARELY every few irl days when i wipe

oh should it be a different mod?

[broken halo]

Carch and giga share a spawn and only up to 3 at a time can spawn so killing them and waiting or dino wipe and search again if ur server admin add the admin panel mod you can see how many of each dino are on the map

[ripe oracle]

I never wipe anything on single player I always had issues with spawns on s p if I did this

[static onyx]

is that the top downloaded one? admin panel on curseforge

[static onyx]

so its actually a 2 player server, im quite confused since i cycle dinos near the mountain and no gigas not consistent even near volcano

[broken halo]

Yeah but if you got creature finder it should do the same thing I'd think use the gene tool if you have BBTs

[ripe oracle]

Yes I usually find them on mountain close to carnivore island on official

[static onyx]

yes i do. okay ill use that. they seem to only spawn once every 2 irl days but tbh i shut my server doown only at night

[ripe oracle]

Good luck I hope you find them

[broken halo]

If your renting a nitrado server leave it run it helps spawns like other person said it hurts wiping to often the longer it runs the more things tend to spawn

[static onyx]

ah okay os how often would you suggest wiping?

[broken halo]

I only do mine maybe twice a month if that mainly if I notice lag around caves that indicates overspawning or if we get a new mod or dino

My island map has been running for 5 months or so till we got the new turtles

And BTW most area above the redwoods has a chance to have em yes they may spawn more on the mountains but carchs especially agro and end up in the valleys and trees

Tamed my best on on the ice shelf right outside hard ice cave

[obtuse coral]

Hi, I want to play in solo with some mods on my pc. And my pc is good enough to run Ark with a lot of mods
But idk why, now after five minutes, my game crash.

What can I do to fix it ?

[olive talon]

Mods can be incompatible. And just because your pc "can" run a lot of mods, doesn't mean you should use a lot, as it takes longer to load. If you're on Ascended, it's not exactly optimized for a bunch of mods.

[narrow kindle]

Yo guys, I did have a look around but couldnt find a direct answer, to enable the event on my servers I am hosting will we just add FearAscended to the mods list ?

[jaunty vortex]

As Bee said, nobody tests one mod against another one. It is very likely nobody else but you is running the combination of mods that you are. So one might be conflicting with another.

[olive talon]

Yes once it's released

[narrow kindle]

Fantastic, thank you so much

[olive talon]

Your pfp/name 😂😂 but just to let you know, for ASA it's the same with any event. Whichever you want on your servers, just add the mod ^^ some users have successfully ran more than one event mod on a server, but I don't personally recommend it as it could cause issues depending on content.

[narrow kindle]

I am so glad you appreciate it 🤣 , So me and the friends that play on my server fiddled with FearEvolved and some of the stuff seemed to work, but the wiki doesnt differentiate between ASA and ASE

Dang I cannot post pictures 😅

[olive talon]

Atm there aren't event files for the Fear Ascended event on ASA, so I'd just wait for the mod to release in a few weeks. For ASE, most of the event assets don't load anyway when activating the event, despite them adding to the base game for Steam.

[obtuse coral]

My game can load the mods, it’s just when I am in game, and when I go in my inventory or just cut a tree, it crash

I can try to play with less mods tho

Thanks for your answer

[olive talon]

Your best option is to remove each mod, and then re-add them one by one to see which is causing the errors.

[narrow kindle]

I figured as much, I only recently started hosting and have been learning more and more but usually people on this discord are very helpful, like yourself

[obtuse coral]

Ok, thanks a lot !

[olive talon]

The wiki is wonderful, but some stuff is missing like differentiating between events, especially when they're not fully released yet, and I don't think there's anything about ASA events being mods now rather than a config

[narrow kindle]

The wiki literally says
" ARK: Survival Ascended: Obsolete, use -mods argument instead. Adding ActiveEvent= in the GameUserSettings.ini file has no effect."

but not which ones will work on Ascended 🤣

But its been pretty good at general config, when to add to ini files and when to have lauch options etc

[olive talon]

So far, just turkey trials, winter wonderland, valentines, and Easter? I think, I'd have to look through again

[narrow kindle]

I only know about Turkey Trials and WinterWonderland (but not cause I tried them just cause I watched Syntac 🤣 )

I am also reluctant to add mods and events cause I really dont want to break my docker (or have to wipe saves / roll back) and until I get more ram for my server and I can run a test one ill just have to be careful

[olive talon]

Event mods should be safe

[narrow kindle]

FearEvolved didnt break anything, we just had to do a dino wipe to get rid of skelies and ghosts (both of which were a little broken)

[olive talon]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Events has the Ascended events listed, just look for ones after Turkey Trials 2023

[narrow kindle]

Oh my gosh

Never even found this page 🤦‍♂️

you are an absolute angel

[olive talon]

Dw it's easy to miss or forget/not think to look for, it happens a lot lol even with me and I've been playing since 2016 😂

[narrow kindle]

Ok so one last question

If I add an older event, it should just work right ?

[olive talon]

For ASE or ASA?

[narrow kindle]

ASA

If I add WinterWonderland for example now

[olive talon]

All of the event mods works amazingly

[narrow kindle]

Honestly this wiki sometimes has the best content

"For Unofficial servers by adding -mods=ID to the server command-line launch argument." - Ark Wiki Winter Wonderland 2023

But aside from that, you have been an amazing help @olive talon I really do appreciate it, I have to get back to work now 🤣

[olive talon]

You're welcome XD

[thick spear]

Can anyone help with clusters? I believe everything is correct but at terminals I am not seeing the travel to another server button

Uploading character and backing out to the server browser works but it's forgetting what tribe everyone is in when uploading

[distant hearth]

make sure the cluster id is set the exact same for every map/server you want clustered

[thick spear]

Yeah the clusterIDs are all the same

[distant hearth]

id double check them , usually an id issue if you cant see the others one from an obelisk ,
you can also check the filters are set right ,

PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False```

[thick spear]

Would the clusterID prevent the "travel to another server" button from showing?

[distant hearth]

yea , it wud just show upload iirc

[thick spear]

Okay thanks, i'll go double check everything

[lone lodge]

Thanks duh! i totally forgot about that . lol stressing does those things lol TY dear friend!

[jaunty vortex]

inventory crashes can be down to the menu transitions, you can disable that.

Go to settings -> UI and scroll down to the bottom. Set Disable Menu Transitions to "on". It's on the left hand side

[high jacinth]

Whats easier, ark server manager or Ansible?

[celest halo]

No way to answer that, we don't know what your knowledge of Ansible is

I use Ansible but I also run my servers on Linux and most server managers are for windows

[vale cradle]

can anyone help me? i am playing through pc gamepass and my friend is playing on steam

and i dont know how to play with him

[hexed niche]

you can’t, they are 2 different versions of the game

[vale cradle]

oh ok

can epic games and steam play together?

[hexed niche]

i’m not sure

[rough brook]

Is there a way to make bosses more difficult?

[bleak ivy]

in ASE, steam is crossplay with epic on dedicated servers with crossplay enabled.
non-dedi is essentially not crossplay (except PC xbox to Xbox) on either game

[olive talon]

Yes, either use this guide or Google "how to play nondedicated ark with steam and epic games"
#unofficial-setup-help message , just keep in mind it is buggy no matter what and can take multiple tries.

[pure grove]

will I lag if I host a server I have a ryzen 5600x radeon 6700xt 32 gb ram like 33 free space on my m.2 (I have an ssd drive with 200 gb free though). I'm hosting the server and playing the game. most amount of people that will play with me is 4 probably 3 though.

[humble thicket]

Inventory Backup Saver someone use this on server? idk how to setup ini

[last magnet]

shouldn't lag, but you might run into space issues. my Island server is at 19GB with one person on it

[pure grove]

What if I connect it to my ssd?

[last magnet]

install the server on the SSD? yes, no problem

I have mine on an SSD but I use a separate machine to run the servers

[pure grove]

But I run my game on my pc and trying to run the server to

[bleak ivy]

its possible to host on the same PC, just not recommend due to RAM and CPU usage being basically doubled.
you will also have some cluster (transfering) issues and may have connection issues.

[floral valley]

hi guys i wanted to see is there a way to turn on the crypto pod setting where it resets what baby wants whenever you cryopod them and take them out?

[lunar cloud]

there is no setting for this. In ASE it was an exploit that was never fixed. In ASA its been fixed so you have to give the baby what it needs now

[olive talon]

Or use a cryopod mod like dino depot ^

[wheat sluice]

((This isn't a recruitment post. Please don't ask to join until I make an official AD))

Hello, I've played ASE for years and was wondering how different the server set up is in ASA.

I like to play Difficult PvE servers. Often as a cluster to ascend to each map as we reach them.

What I need to know is.

• Can we cluster maps freely, as in ascend to each map one by one, and travel to and from maps we've been to freely.

• Can the wild Dino level cap be raised. I usually set it to the most dinos will cap at 500 or so.

• Can wild Dino stats be altered/adjusted? In order to keep things difficult. I have to manually adjust some stats for wild and tamed dinos.

[hybrid grove]

Can anyone tell me why I get a full map of the island when I start a new game. I was hoping to re explore the island from scratch and wanted to give myself more of a challenge

[broken halo]

Are you playing single player if so delete the old saves

[hybrid grove]

Thanks, I found the folder but not after reinstalling the game.

[sacred pewter]

Hello, is it possible to change the distribution distance of tek storage ?

Or some settings (on a server) to unlimit the max distance or something like that

[wheat sluice]

To my knowledge no, nothing like that in the game. Maybe a mod, I was looking for something like that and never found one.

[thick oxide]

could someone please guide me towards the best unofficial server manger? preferably an invite to their discord as "asa dedicated server manager" mostly refers to almost all of them

[jaunty vortex]

Best is subjective. I can link you to the one I use

[haughty badger]

Good morning!
All of the summer bash skins and such are now baked into base game allowing the mod to be removed with no loss, right?

[olive talon]

Correct, remove it from your servers until you want the event again

[mighty dove]

Does anyone know how to host a server with a friend (we're both on epic games)

[pliant acorn]

does anyone have problems with the sypglass? my display image is tiny and transparent, i can't read anything

[olive talon]

Depends on which mod you're using, some can be edited

[pliant acorn]

This is not the fault of the mod itself, as only 2 players on the server have the problem, for the others the window looks normal

[olive talon]

Sometimes you can change it, or try relogging/respawning.

[pliant acorn]

not worklng after relogging or respawning 😦

[broken halo]

Check ur setting u may have FOV different as far as transparent that's also a setting in menu I believe

As ghostly was trying to state it may also be a setting for the mod itself

[urban jackal]

Is it intended that I can use the TEK armor in the Boss Arena? (PVE Private Server, Megapithecus Arena)

[rancid plover]

So I don't know if anyone is going to be able to help me with this but I'd appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction. As of recently I followed a video by NeddyTheNoodle to set up a non-official dedicated server for my friends and I. I can start the server and join it, but it doesn't pop up in the unofficial list and my friends are unable to join. I don't know if I did something wrong with portforwarding or what. Is there anyone that is able to help me with this? I've been trying to get it set up all week, and I am just going circles getting myself more frustrated.

[distant hearth]

its for ark ascended ?

[rancid plover]

No, its for evolved.

[distant hearth]

hmm, did u forward the ports you set in the batch file, through windows firewall, your router (and any antivurus/malware software if you using anything other than windows own)

[rancid plover]

I set up some new inbound, and outbound rules for my pc, I don't know about the router.

[distant hearth]

if you didnt do the router , thats your problem

what ever you use to connect to the internet has to allow those ports through aswell

[rancid plover]

Where would I go to do that, I have a netgear night hawk, and I put the ports into it but thats all I have done as of the router.

[distant hearth]

google how to forward the ports the server is using for the router

some are udp some are tcp

nvm its only rcon thats tcp , i doubt ure woried about,
this link tells the default ports
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Network

[rancid plover]

I used 7777 for one of the two services

[distant hearth]

you can also use a udp port checker to make sure the ports are open, i just use ipvoid but there many online.
you can also see if the server gets listed on battlemetrics website an also have players have them try to join via open ipadress:port

the players need to be on steam too, ase is not xplay (except with epic games) which is a bit of pain to setup but can be done afaik

[rancid plover]

They are all on steam

Checking the ports now

[distant hearth]

kk that good , ports are the first place to check

just make sure to check udp ports an also set udp when doing the forwarding

[rancid plover]

I have it set to both UDP and TCP.

[distant hearth]

no need too but i dont suppose it hurts ,
so u wud likely need to do 7777udp,7778udp and 27015udp , if u left default

[rancid plover]

Ok, I'll go fix it real quick.

K, just switched them to UDP specific. I'm going to check to see if they are open.

[marsh bobcat]

Does anyone know if you can increase the limit for Linked Storages?

[rancid plover]

It says that they are both closed, how do I open them?

[distant hearth]

not possible afaik

[distant hearth]

recheck the ports are open through both router and firewall,
you used ipvoid udp checker? if so when there right they show as open|filtered

[rancid plover]

It just says filtered.

[distant hearth]

idk then im not good at networking stuff, some isp dont allow people to gaming servers , maybe u did it wrong, im really not sure sry.
hopefully someone else can help

[rancid plover]

You're fine, thank you for all of your assistance anyways!

[fallow cipher]

is there a way to increase teather distance on a non ded server

[astral zephyr]

how do you get ragnorok on ark aceneded I dont see it when trying to load up a new world

[olive talon]

It is not out yet. All map news is in #announcements. Currently, Extinction is releasing December 16th

[distant hearth]

yu dont , its not on ascended yet

[astral zephyr]

whats the best map im kinda new lol

[flint oasis]

Hello fellow Arkers 🙂 I was wondering if anyone has figured out the code to build in the red zone you cant normally build in? In ASE we could but I cant seem to get it to work on ASA

[broken halo]

If there is an ini setting it would be in wiki sorry I can't be of more help

[flint oasis]

All good 😦 nothing is there ... trying everything 😛

[olive talon]

Have you tried adding this to your game.ini?

bIgnoreStructuresPreventionVolumes=True

[flint oasis]

I believe so? Lol I will check I think it was already there but nitrado may lie 😄 let me check thanks!

[olive talon]

Make sure it isn't in there twice too, that can break things ^^ hopefully it works, otherwise I'm not sure either

[flint oasis]

I appreciate it 🙂 Thanks! I dont think it was there lol

[olive talon]

Maybe you're in luck!

[flint oasis]

Nope 😛 thank you tho!

[olive talon]

[civic ruin]

Hello maybe someone here can help me I bought a server on nitrado for ark it says it's started but I can't see the server in the server list when I look it up in the game

[median flame]

Did you put your Settings in the Search bar to "Unofficial PC Servers"?

@civic ruin

[civic ruin]

On ark I have it on unofficial servers but idk about on the nitrado app I am very new to me I never owned a ark server or any server before

[median flame]

It should be set to it per Default on Nitrado

Is it secured by Password?

If so, this could be the reason why you dont find it

[civic ruin]

It has a password but I do have the show password protected servers

Box checked

[median flame]

You got everything correct?

The Pve/Pvp also correct?

[civic ruin]

The what pve/pvp what's that I have a thing that's on disabled idk if that matters

Official rates that's what I have on disabled

[civic ruin]

Idk what to do now still cant see my server

[olive talon]

When did you buy it? It can take up to an hour sometimes for new servers to show ingame. Make sure that you bought the correct game server and platform.

[civic ruin]

Ooh alright will have to check what time I bought it and how can I check to see if I have the correct game server and platform

[olive talon]

Are you playing Evolved or Ascended?

[civic ruin]

Ascended

[olive talon]

When you bought the server, did it say "Ark Survival Ascended"

[civic ruin]

Yes it's saying ark survival ascended

[olive talon]

Then there ya go xd

As to the time, honestly newer servers just are annoying waiting to work in the list. Set it to all maps, and type the name in. Usually for me, it'll say "no sessions found" with the name, so I have to hit refresh.

[civic ruin]

Alright I am gonna try that hopefully it will show otherwise I will wait untill tomorrow I did restart it twice though to see if it would show

[olive talon]

Restarting it multiple times will make it take a bit longer to show. Just leave it alone and search for it again while it finishes any setups it needs to do.

[civic ruin]

Okay I will do that will leave it be for a couple hours I am new to running a server so idk a lot about it just trying to figure it out along the way thank you for you're help

[olive talon]

You're good, you're welcome. That's what this channel is for.

[kind moon]

hey trying to setup a scheduled broad cast and cant get it to work

im trying to use the rcon but dont know the rcon command to execute for the broad cast

[solid sleet]

Hello I run two servers I was wondering is there anything I could do to stop the duplication from changing servers

[bleak ivy]

would assume thats what https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=--,UseItemDupeCheck,-Enables additional dupe is for.
I don't know for sure tho, I don't run public servers so my experience in exploit/dupe checks is minimal

[solid sleet]

Ok thank you for you help

[bleak ivy]

is that linking you to it? its -UseItemDupeCheck as a launch parameter.

[elder fox]

Is there a command to all of one creature instead of a full Dino wipe

[solid sleet]

Yes it did thank you

[sharp wyvern]

Heya, any help would be appreciated- I have a cluster with two connected servers, one for Amissa and one for the Centre. My server for the Centre isn't showing up at all, and I'm not sure why.

• I've restarted multiple times.
• I've made sure our client systems are up-to-date.
• I've made sure both server versions match.
• Neither server is giving any error or acting odd.

Is there anything yall can think of with what to do?

[solid sleet]

Do I just put that line in the ini or is there more trickery than that lol

[bleak ivy]

no idea, never used it.

that itself goes into the command line.

if nitrado, they'd need to have it in their UI

[solid sleet]

Awesome thank you

[broken halo]

2 servers or just 2 maps 🤔 ? Connecting 2 servers is a huge difference than connecting 2 maps on a server so the latter of the 2 connecting maps is fairly easy are you nitrado or self hosted

If nitrado make sure both maps are using the same cluster I'd in UI if self hosted u may want to look at wiki for exact command line prompts to enter in to batch files

[broken halo]

Yes just Google admin commands there are plenty you may want to use or download dododex on ur phone it's a great resource

[sharp wyvern]

Oh! I wound up getting it eventually- Both are nitrato, and two servers, yeah. I tried to restore a previous version of the Centre server, it hated that and kept crashing on startup, so I restored the backup it made this morning and then it was happy.

Demon server sometimes.

[broken halo]

Just for future reference those are 2 maps nitrado is one large linked server that's why you can cluster with any other nitrado user I know technicality lol

[thick oxide]

Yes please

[north pier]

Is WildDinoTorporDrainMultiplier only available through Game.ini? I don't see it anywhere in the gam'e settings interface.

[compact forge]

Anyone knows how to fix decaytimers getting reseted on every server restart? 🤔 I have done new inis to every map and decaytimers did work before summer I think 😄

[vernal scroll]

Anyone know if the Summerbash Stuff has been already merged into Base game?

[jaunty vortex]

Yes it has

[vernal scroll]

Oh really? Thats great then I can finally get rid of the Mod

[humble thicket]

will the new event fear ascended be available on unofficial servers without mods?

[olive talon]

Not sure if you found the answer, but
Cheat DestroyAll "Ankylo_Character_BP_C" 1
will destroy every creature of that type in the server, tamed and wild, unless they're in cryopods.

Alternatively, you can use
Cheat DestroyWildDinoClasses "Ankylo_Character_BP_C" 1
To destroy all wild creatures in that class.

[olive talon]

All major events are mods for ASA, you can start them with a launch parameter but afaik you'll need the mod itself as well.

[humble thicket]

so i will need to install the mod on my client or install it on the server via nitrado?

[olive talon]

Nitrado, it is a server and client mod.

[humble thicket]

alright that helps alot. thank you very much

[olive talon]

Yw. You don't need the launch parameter for Nitrado, you can just add the mod^

[civic ruin]

Hello me again I waited a couple hours my server has 29 days and 14 hours left and it still isn't showing on ark

[olive talon]

Do you have "show player servers" checked

[civic ruin]

Yes

[olive talon]

Turn it off. Nitrado servers are not player servers, ie hosted by personal or other rented hardware not from Nitrado.

[humble thicket]

password protected? than check the box. else stop the server, and start it again. make sure you are searching for unofficial servers. make sure your server name is set and is not nitrado **.

[civic ruin]

I turned it off and it still isn't showing

[olive talon]

Hit refresh, sometimes it bugs

[civic ruin]

No it's not password protected and it has a custom name that I came up with and I am searching for unofficial servers

[civic ruin]

I hit refresh 5 times still isn't showing

[olive talon]

Did you make sure that you enabled Playstation?

Under general settings, make sure your platform options have PS added, if that's what your platform is

[civic ruin]

I have every platform enabled

Ps xbox pc and windows I have them all checked

[olive talon]

We've gone through basically all it can be, unless there's something extra silly we're missing

[civic ruin]

Idk at this point in the nitrado app it's saying it's started I keep checking it but there isn't anything I can find that can be the reason for it and i keep hitting refresh ingame and still nothing

[olive talon]

I'm gonna load up my pc rq and see if I can find it ingame

[civic ruin]

Alright sounds good

[olive talon]

You can dm me if you'd like, if you don't want to publicly share anything

[civic ruin]

Okay I will do that then

[peak sapphire]

Does your server name appear on Nitrado’s interface, not just the green dot? If it does then it’s an Ark isssue for sure. Also make sure on the Ark server browser that you don’t have PS only servers ticked

[civic ruin]

What interface sorry if that sounds dumb I am very new to this and I don't have playstation only checked on ark

[olive talon]

Go into your general settings, look for the server name and make sure it is your custom name

[civic ruin]

It's my custom name I just checked and it is saying my server name

[olive talon]

That's what I figured 😕

[civic ruin]

What I do find weird is that my nitrado app works fine but when I go to the website on Google I get a eternal server error

[kind moon]

I’d suggest checking logs to make sure something isn’t crashing the server and starting it up I know nitrate was having that issue reason why I went with a private provider

[olive talon]

They fixed it. Map name wasn't set correctly

[humble thicket]

is there a way to delete all bp that have a higher cap than official at once on a server?

[iron bronze]

What is the best way to make an event server be able to place ceilings without foundations?

[olive talon]

Like leave them floating? Because you still have to use foundations as the initial starting point

[iron bronze]

Best way to change drops is though beacon

[olive talon]

The only destroyall commands that exist only work for nests, eggs, bees, hives, and dinos.

[iron bronze]

Yea...so, set up a foundation, then a wall but then you can just place a ceiling on the wall and just keep placing ceilings from there without the need for pillars or other walls

[olive talon]

Well, if they added the structures plus configs with the actual items, then try these, on ASE I had to use both to make the first one work-

NoFoundationsRequired=True
RemoveFloorRequirementFromStructurePlacement=True

If those don't work on their own, mods tbh

[iron bronze]

Okay, I will try, thanks...I can only find a mod that adds structures that don't need foundations, so I can't use modded structures and have them not need foundations

I will try this and hope for the best ^^

[olive talon]

Cybers Structures is basically S+. You can add the mod, use the configs, but like disable the other engrams if you don't want the extras used. It'd take a bit to disable them though.

[elder fox]

So I’ve played ark since the beginning and have had dododex for years and my smooth smooth monkey brain has just ignored that that says admin commands the whole time………ffs 😂😭

[elder fox]

MVP everytime, bee

[north pier]

Haha, fair point. Eventually I want to add a better integration where admin commands can be found throughout the app (on dinos and items) so should be much more discoverable.

[elder fox]

Your app is incredible and everyone on my server uses it every day. Tysm ❤️❤️

[fluid vapor]

Is there a hidden coded level cap at 1200? Cant level past 1200

[high jacinth]

Does anyone have a Grafana dashboard for Ark they're willing to share?

[true ore]

is that a server manager?

[true ore]

do you know where i can find the ini config lines for cws structures?

[olive talon]

I'm not familiar with cws structures? Most mod information is found in the mod author's discord/website

[kind moon]

hey whats the code line to prevent download os survivors from single player to multiplayer?

[elder fox]

Basically no surface drops at all, and I don’t mean no beams. No supply drops. Flew around as admin for a full day and there was 1.

[keen jetty]

Where do i type this in at?
Im self hosting and this is a frequent issue for some reason. so i want to give this a try

[olive talon]

Aberration drops are bugged, file #bug-reports . There's nothing about them that the community can fix.

[barren portal]

Hey yall!
I am looking to buy a server so I can run Ark Ascended. If yall could help tell me what is realistically need specs wise to run a map I would greatly appreciate it. From what I've been able to tell each map will use about 15gb of ram and 4 cores. Is that about accurate? And if I have way more ram is cpu a strongly limiting factor?

Id like to run several maps so I'm just trying to find out cost per map.

[high jacinth]

Its a metrics visualization tool. I have Ark logs being queried by Grafana alloy being sent to a log aggregation app called Loki. I'm trying to build a dashboard in Grafana to display and alert on certain log items. Wondering if someone had already made one.

[latent coral]

The ram sounds about right, but it's only 2 cores if your cpu supports hyperthreading - so 4 threads. I think the cpu being a limiting factor is going to depend on how many people are playing, how many mods you run, and how big continuous structures get

[barren portal]

Thank you so much! I've never done diddly squat with a server before so I'm learning as I go. I want to make sure i at least start with some good specs.

[latent coral]

Single core performance is king

[floral valley]

is there any good mod like pull it? I see that pull it has not been working so looking for an alternative.

[rugged moth]

Can anyone help me and tell me how to increase the Tame level cap? Both on our servers and on Single player

Not sure which command in the ini's is for that

[lapis quest]

In the .bat file that you use to start the map assuming you are not using any managers

[static onyx]

hosting my own nitrado, and now trying to rejoin getting repeated lost connection/timeout to host which is ridiculous given its my server. any fixes?

[real ingot]

Anyone noticing Nitrado being a bit funny at the moment? Just had a really slow reboot on one server and another server just in a permanent restart currently.

[indigo dagger]

Anyone have trouble with titano platforms?

We are having an issue where at a certain distance, just at the edge of render, our titano blinks in and out of existance along with its platform structures. It causes everything to be weird and jumpy, even though framerates are mostly unaffected.

Beyond that, a large portion of the structures never de-render. You can go all the way to the other side of the map, and those structures are rendered as a static fixture.

Come back, and any structures that got static rendered float there as a not really there obstruction while the titano base functions as normal.

Anyone experienced this or know of a fix?

[placid star]

Hey everyone! I dont suppose someone on here could help me with my dedicated Ark Server?

i have set up the port 7777 on my router and dircted traffic to the pc running the server. Ive opened port 7777 on my avast anti virus firewall, and also on my windows firewall for good measure. I used a server setup tool to create the server that was advised by the youtube user NOOBLETS

ive tried joining the server by making a single player game and using the console to join the server. ive also got Ark on both steam and epic and neither work

ive used port checker to confirm that port 7777 is open and it is not

so my guess is that even though the server says broadcasting under the session name, its being blocked by something ive even tried turning off the pc's firewall for a minute to check it isnt the firewall causing the issue

[distant hearth]

you need more ports than that open for ark evolved
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Network

[placid star]

and also seperately the routers firewall

[distant hearth]

also make sure there open in udp , not tcp

[placid star]

ok, thank you. they are open for both

does this make a difference?

[distant hearth]

no wont matter

[placid star]

i know that port 27015 is for steam and 7777 for epic

[distant hearth]

no thats not how it works,
7777 is game port , 27015 is steam query port for server listing

the link above explains better

[placid star]

im learning, so i apologise.

[distant hearth]

no problem

[placid star]

i will read the link and try again thank you so much

[frosty swift]

Having the same issue with my server if you hear anything let me know haven't been able to get on for awhile now.

[jaunty vortex]

Can we not post links to announcements any more?

[spare oasis]

how to fix this ?
you have been kicked by battleye client not responding
i see this when i try to join server

[jaunty vortex]

If you're in Europe, then read the post in announcements from Dollie

[distant hearth]

#announcements message

like that ?

[jaunty vortex]

W1llz, you're obviously more special than me 😄

[distant hearth]

sometimes it just has a hissy fit i think lolz

[amber veldt]

Can anyone help me with troubleshooting crashfile / logs?

[distant hearth]

possibly , depends on the issue, half the time crash logs are just generic memroy read errors

[amber veldt]

check dm

[distant hearth]

no dm recieved

[onyx gale]

Has anyone been able to figure out the refreshing inventory bug? I've searched the discord and I found lots of people have brought it up but I'm not seeing any responses with a potential fix. I've tried clearing profile and tribe .baks through FTP. Not sure where else to look for bugged upload data. Anyone have any ideas?

[wise kindle]

Can be related to larger than normal stack sizes or large inventory slots in containers
Can also be a full Custom cosmetic tab.
Can also try Settings > UI > disable menu transitions ON to prevent issues.

[orchid citrus]

Hey everyone. I am trying to setup a dedicated server. But the Game.ini file and other files are missing from installation. This is causing the game to not save and I am unable to change things like player multipliers. I have tried setting up the server through steamcmd and using the ark dedicated server tool in steam. Any help is much appreciated.

[last magnet]

game.ini isn't automatically created, you'll need to create it, either by hand or via beacon

well I should say after a start of the server, it creates one, but not at installation

[orchid citrus]

What about the other files like engine.ini. From videos I have watched there are suppose to be about 10 ini files in the windowserver folder. All I have is the Gameusersettings.ini

[hybrid spindle]

Those are generated when you start the server for the first time

[orchid citrus]

I have started the server multiple times and none of them generated.

[livid reef]

is it fully booting? are you able to do a saveworld then close the server?

[frail crescent]

Is it intended for Dinos with platforms to take more damage from overhanging structures?

[late matrix]

Has anyone been able to get tames from club ark to be downloadable on the maps?

[gaunt glen]

i think when i joined i didn't click the right thing, so this probably doesn't go here. my apologies in advance! does anyone know if the upgrade station mod still works? i was hoping to add it to my server, i added it via steam and g-portal but it doesn't seem to be working. is it possible i have the wrong one or is it gone gone? this is re: ark 1

[kind moon]

Hello looking for some help trying to setup daily broadcast via rcon and can’t find the correct command to use im hosted on a non nitrado server

[still thunder]

nope been asking a few days ago in here already, i guess it's just not possible

[wise kindle]

Id like to know this as well. The pods get forever stuck in upload and nothing lets us download them.

[haughty ether]

was looking to get Club ark for Fear ascended...looks like i won't bother then if that's still happening.

[ashen belfry]

i hope i can get help here and that iam writing in the right channel 🙂
i got a problem with a Premium mod i bought primal nemesis for asa and cant download it the tebex support just told me to login/off again or reload the game but ingame it just says i need to purchase it instead of downloading any tipps here ?

[modest linden]

So with events being locked to ClubArk,….
With a ClubArk unofficial server; is it possible to configure the settings ?
And if so does it still function the same way as it should ?

[wise kindle]

Most settings are locked with only a couple that are configurable unfortunately.
For example you cant increase difficulty to get higher level dinos (over 150) etc or increase loot quality.
Also you cant seem to download podded dinos out of the obelisk when you go back to your home server.
Its really only good for playing to get the one skin for the event. In this case its the werewolf skin.

[modest linden]

Ah man
So them saying you can bring back dinos is only for Official
That’s some big BS right there

[native wave]

I can transfer podded dinos off my club ark server fine

[modest linden]

Your server is unofficial?

Nitrado or other ?

[native wave]

hosted on my server in my basement

[modest linden]

Ah then maybe a Nitrado thing

[native wave]

I got my rhynios from club ark

[late matrix]

Nah I self host and some how no matter what I set it always gets stuck

[late matrix]

With your “config” what are your settings when it comes to upload/download?

[native wave]

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

if you can, make sure your cluster directory is working between two other servers before trying it with club ark

preferrably something like island and center or something...something with no inherent restrictions (such as with club ark and aberration)

[late matrix]

All my maps are working properly when transferring anything, it’s just tames that are won in club Ark seems not to be able to download

[native wave]

are you trying to transfer them to aberration? you have to set CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=True to enable restricted dino downloading to aberration

[late matrix]

No

Just bring them to the center or the island which has not restriction like Ab does

[native wave]

Is there any reason your club ark server would have different file permissions than the other servers?

[wise kindle]

Yep. I know one guy on Nitrado that can download them and we have no idea why.

We see no difference in settings. No others can download them.

[late matrix]

it does not lol

[onyx gale]

Does Server Name have a character count/limit?

Edit: If anyone searches, it is 60

[last magnet]

also, if you use a cryopod mod and have vanilla cryopods disabled, it might have an issue

[wise kindle]

Only the engrams are disabled. I can spawn and use vanilla pods. Also the Winter Wonderland event pods work with no issues.

[distant hearth]

delete the line blocking the engram an try 🙂

[last magnet]

ah see, if I had an item with an engram blocked, supply drops with the item wouldn't spawn at all

so that was my thought process

[distant hearth]

i was literally just testing it , as it used to work for me but hadnt played club ark in ages . It wasnt working but i knew i wudnt have had the engram blocked before

so i unblocked the engram an boom , i cud download them

[distant hearth]

do you have vanilla cropod engram entry hidden aswell?

[late matrix]

I do, I did not think this will be an issue since raptorclaus was able to deliver vanilla ones even tho we had the engram blocked. But I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion

[distant hearth]

doesnt make much sense that its an issue but it is lolz , prob coz raptor clause is gifted to you in the server i suppose and not downloaded to it

[tacit cradle]

I'm trying to run a dedicated server on windows using microsoft store ark to be able to join on xbox for me and my brother to play. I go to run the server and it shows the server menu and everything but if i try to join on my xbox with an invite i get the error msg. I think what i have to do next is the port fowarding bs but i tried a list of them last night and it still wasnt working. Any help?

Also this is for the regular version of ark and not the "new" one

[distant hearth]

it prob uses default ports i wud think on windows store version , so 7777 UDP, 7778 UDP and 27015UDP
They will need to be forwarded through windows firewall incoming , your router (and any crappy antivirus/malware program if using one)

[tacit cradle]

i can just add those to the port forwarding settings on the app i use to control my wifi right? i dont have to do any extra shit?

[distant hearth]

dunno all routers are differnt, just have google how for the one you use , plus do it through the other things i said in the post above

[tacit cradle]

bet bet im gonna try that rn, thank you

[wise kindle]

I could move the engram to an unattainable level (like 350) unlock and try it.
If that’s a thing then the full spaghetification of the Ark code is complete and all logic is dead.

[distant hearth]

yea that shud work fine , but 100% i tested it an as soon as i removed the hidden engram it then worked

[tacit cradle]

idk i opened up the ports on the wifi settings and check on my cmd prompt to see if they say listening and they dont show up at all, than go to windows firewall and it says it has local ports: all ports, remote ports: all ports

this shit is way harder than it needs to be for what, vin diesel didnt die for this

[wise kindle]

flips table
Im so done with this game rn.

[distant hearth]

it has its moments huh , i havent played in ages , waiting on them to fix ab flickering issue

[native wave]

I've been out of it for a while...just would rather play other games while this one develops

[distant hearth]

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 the port number you want forwarded , 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 7777udp, click finnish and repeat for the other ports

[tacit cradle]

okay im following, i just did all three let me try again to connect to it now

okay so i understand what you were saying and added those three rules to my inbound rules, i can see them under the unbound rule list now. Than i tried to start up ark on my computer to host, and than connect to it on my xbox on a different account and im gettting the same error

[distant hearth]

idk then, im not great with networking and ive never done it with a microsoft store version so unsure how it actually works

[tacit cradle]

if i go in cmd and do netstat -an should they be showing up on there as listening?

because none of the 3 even show up on there

and i hear ya

[distant hearth]

i think udp ports can be a pain to check , i used nmap program when i did mine
edit ye running that command doesnt show the udp ports i have opended manually for w.e reason but i know mine are open

[tacit cradle]

damn ill have to keep fucking with it later and re download nmap

[rustic garnet]

Is there any mod to be able to tame bosses in ARK Ascended The Island?

[errant fox]

Do the xmas commands not work for anyone else?

[humble thicket]

which one? i can test

[errant fox]

Krampus skin for example

Krampus Skin
cheat giveitem /WinterWonderland/Items/Skins/PrimalItemSkin_Costume_Krampus_Craftable.PrimalItemSkin_Costume_Krampus_Craftable 1 0 0

[humble thicket]

isnt that tied to a mod?

also, the command does not work for me too

[broken plank]

Hello there gentlemen,

I'm building an ASA dedicated cluster on Linux as a personal project.
I would like to mimic the settings of PVP Official Servers, like a Vanilla cluster.
I didn't find anything related to this, tried downloading Beacon as well hoping to find some button labeled as "Replicate Official Server Settings", but no luck.

Just starting the server has generated a default gameusersettings.ini, but with many missing lines, for example "PvPStructureDecay" wasn't even there. I manually added it and set to True.

Can anyone around point me where to look next? Thanks!

[distant hearth]

official item and dino clamping

gameusersetting.ini

[serversettings]
ClampItemStats=True

game.ini

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
ItemStatClamps[1]=19800
ItemStatClamps[3]=19800
DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp=450

[broken plank]

Nice, but I'm pretty sure there's many more commands to mirror an Official

Is there any complete list about this anywhere? I'm new to hosting servers

[distant hearth]

not sure what else needs change tbh, the rest are pretty much default apart from the decay timers

[broken plank]

For example, by default it's allowing character transfers

And on officials this is disabled

I corrected this with

PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventUploadDinos=True
noTributeDownloads=True
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventUploadItems=True
PreventDownloadSurvivors=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=True

[distant hearth]

this has every command , i guess try search official an see what comes up
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

only aberation has transfers disabled rest the maps have it enabled

[broken plank]

But as I've said.. Seems that there are many commands to edit

Let me show you something

[distant hearth]

you need to look at what stuff does an understand it ,
just this line wud block all transfers to a map ,
noTributeDownloads=True

[broken plank]

ARK Server Name: NA-PVP-TheIsland2231 - (v54.31)
Admin Command Logging Disabled
ARK Data Downloads Disabled
Third Person Allowed
Non-Hardcore Mode
PvPvE
Crosshair Enabled
Floating HUDs Allowed
Map Player Location Enabled
PvP Structure Decay Enabled

This was shown pressing ESC on an Official server just right now

ARK Data Downloads Disabled

[distant hearth]

it wud been a ab server id think

[broken plank]

You can download and upload just between your cluster (on officials at least)

You cant transfer out of the cluster

[broken plank]

TheIsland map

[broken plank]

Thanks, I will have a look

Just thought there was a complete official-like list anywhere

[distant hearth]

then there prob using -notransferfromfiltering in start command line to get ,
ARK Data Downloads Disabled showed there, not 100% sure though as its not really needed omce cluster id is set , the rest is prob default

[broken plank]

Another example, cave building is disabled in PvE and PvP by default.. I had to use "AllowCaveBuildingPvP=True"

As officials allows you to build on caves, at least on PvP

[distant hearth]

the site i gave links most of the known start commands and ini settings, id think searching it for official an reading wud get you close. just make sure to read what a setting does before implementing it

you can then link to the official dynamic config files if you want the rates to adjust each time officials do

there will be some commands you prob DO NOT want to use on an unoffical server, particularly regarding server perfomance

[broken plank]

I will read the entire list, I see there are many parameters with "Default Values" explained

[broken plank]

Where can I find official dynamic config files?

[broken plank]

I will restrict myself to trying to mimic the playing experience, I won't bother with performance commands

[distant hearth]

ermm the wiki has em , i try link

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Web_API#Dynamic_configurations_(ASE/ASA)

[broken plank]

Thanks

[humble thicket]

will this destroy items with higher quality of damage or durability than the clamps mentioned? or only destroy tames over 450?

[humble thicket]

nevermind, it does not destroy, it just lowers the stats to the server's clamps

[distant hearth]

this line destroy tames over 450

DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp=450

the other two are the item stat clamp

at official levels, cant rem the numbers but the wiki has them documented

[humble thicket]

worked perfectly. you are the hero of this server mate. thank you!

[obtuse falcon]

Is there to make nameless
Venom stack?

[humble thicket]

probably any stacking mod that can stack prime meat

[olive talon]

Vanilla stack ini works fine yes

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_NamelessVenom_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[obtuse falcon]

Oh thanks. Thought for some reason the ini was not working for venom!

[olive talon]

No worries. This one works fine for me so there ya go

[urban inlet]

Is there still no way to Customize the Levels on dinos rewarded for Club Ark? Like our servers dinos are a LOT higher than base game. If there is a way how to do so?

[distant hearth]

not possible

[urban inlet]

Dam ok ty

[robust nymph]

Anyone having issues with storages randomly not opening? You'll open it to get something, come back a few moments later and now ya can access it. Need to relog to make them work again.

[broken plank]

This happens on official servers as well

[robust nymph]

Just recently?
Like in the last 2 weeks or so?
We've never really noticed until now.
We started a new server about 3 weeks ago and in the last 2 weeks it's been happening. Have checked this discords of the mods we use and not finding related issues in there.@broken plank

[full badger]

when play on anUnofficial server and you have a character sleeping on say sever a and log in and it says you need a new character how can i recover the sleeping toon from that server to reassume the sleeping character paly i have at lvl 135

[stable scarab]

Hey, what is dino level cap for a server, is it configurable and how do I do that? (I may not need to, just seeing what I can learn here.)

[olive talon]

Unofficials and singleplayer don't have a level cap by default.

Nitrado however has added a default config called DestroyTamesOverLevel=? which can be changed.

[stable scarab]

OK. I'll make sure that's not being used in my config, but I doubt it.

Thank you! =D

[olive talon]

It shouldn't be unless you're using Nitrado^^

You're welcome

[stable scarab]

Googling this was a quagmire. Lol.

[olive talon]

We set ours to just a ridiculous number tbh

[stable scarab]

Oh jees, lol.

I just have a level 750ish line of argies I wanted to make sure I could safely bring them over to that server.

[clear river]

Hi guys, I've been trying to move my survivors between servers in my unofficial cluster (Locally held on dedicated server), but every time I hit spawn survivor it sends me to the character creation screen, and still won't do anything. Hit download survivor and the list is empty, create a new character and the spawn button is greyed out. I've checked NoTributeDownload=False in the GameUserSettings.ini Any ideas? Situation resolved! ClusterDirOverride=<ClusterDir> command was missing.

[kind moon]

I had a simpler problem but there’s a weird thing with asa which is if the server is host on two different terminals it won’t let you create a cluster it will show that you can transfer but it will take you too the create survivor screen I’d suggest trying to find out if the server are hosted on the same terminal

[random stirrup]

Hi guys! I can't seem to find out how to cluster 2 servers over the internet or even if it is possible at all. I guess we need VPN and set a net share like \asadedi\cluster as the ClusterDir, or? There are plenty explanations but most outdated and nothing about cross network. Any hints?

[native wave]

I did that with a friend on ASE using syncthing. Me in Michigan. He is in New York. Worked great. He had a couple of servers in the cluster and I had the rest. Just have to make sure the files in the cluster directory on all servers stays the same and that any updates replicate to all servers.. I haven't tried it with ASA yet, but it should still work.

[random stirrup]

syncthing to sync C:\ClusterData, instead of using UNC path / VPN ?

[latent lynx]

If i make a server with nitrado,can I who is on xbox play with my freind from steam

[robust nymph]

Hey all. Curious if some people that have added day cycle settings into the gus inis can go and check to make sure all 3 of the codes are there.
One seems to vanish on all my servers, so nitrado set up a test one and all 3 of the day/night codes vanished in 30 mins

[bleak ivy]

as long as you are playing ASA.
ASE isn't crossplay between xbox and steam.

[cerulean thistle]

Can you change rewards in the Club Ark casino for unofficial?

[bleak ivy]

don't think we can edit anything about them

[cerulean thistle]

Rip

[upbeat compass]

I just added Clubark to my cluster but can't transfer to clubark from any of my maps, can join clubark from the server list then travel to any of my other maps though. is this just how clubark works or is there a setting I'm missing?

[bleak ivy]

did you use the club ark button in the pause menu? survivors don't transfer to club ark or back.

[upbeat compass]

🤦‍♂️ of course I didn't lol thanks 😄

[cyan girder]

Guys I can open local the island server but when I exit the server game is not saving the server can someone help me

[upbeat compass]

is it possible to increase the loot from Club Ark?

loot quality*

[wise kindle]

I wish. But the setting seems to have no effect.

[native wave]

Basically...unless you prefer using the unc path and VPN. Just letting you know how I did it.

[native wave]

All I've been able to do is boost hex reward and lower hexagon cost. The settings from Genesis work on club ark. Other than that...haven't found anything else.

[wise kindle]

So we cant jump on ASE and experience the old Fear Evolved event...

and now we cant experience it in ASA either.

What the actual F is wrong with WC??? Ruined my favorite event!! The anger is real.

Sorry, rant over.

Someone make a Fear Ascended mod ASAP.

[wise kindle]

@distant hearth btw my workaround was to set the official pods to unlock at an unachievable level and that worked.

But my god thats so stupid that I have to do that.

[tidal cosmos]

Were you unable to upload just the cryoed dinos or everything before you did this?
We have the same issue but we just get the "Ark item transfers are disabled" message with any item

[wise kindle]

The issue was that you couldnt download official pods, they were just stuck forever in the obelisk till they expired.

I had official pod engrams hidden. By setting them to unlock (unhiding them), it allowed them to be downloaded from the obelisk.

[tidal cosmos]

I see, thanks

Even with everything allowed on a nitrado cluster we're not able to upload and we can't figure out why

[distant hearth]

i havent bothered with it much but anything i get on club ark auto uploads , then when back on the main game server you download on there.
Do you see the items ready for download in an ob , transmitter etc ?

[wise kindle]

Are you trying to upload or download into the ob on club ark? Cuz all that is blocked. You cant do any of that there. You can only win prizes and then download them on your maps.

My fix was with downloading pods on my maps. They were getting stuck in upload.

[tidal cosmos]

Nope, no items ready to download. Even got that sweet shark costume, can’t find it anywhere

But does it auto upload? I mean when in club ark if you open your inventory you see your upload and supposedly you should be able to put stuff in manually

[tidal cosmos]

Can’t upload the prizes

[olive talon]

You can't upload anything in the club ark servers, regardless of your settings. Everything won automatically uploads on its own into the club ark uploads, and then you have to download it to another server

[wise kindle]

I believe they autoupload. You just transfer back and it should be in your obelisk.

[distant hearth]

yea thats how works for me, auto goes into upload , then i download on any map in the cluster

[wise kindle]

The shark costume would be in your cosmetics tab and you would only get it when you complete level 10 of that shark game. If you didnt complete it to the point where it says you win, then you wouldnt get it.

I believe you get it in your cosmetics tab when you die as well.

[rustic garnet]

I got some armor in Ark the Club and it won't let me equip it here, why?

[wise kindle]

if its tek and you dont have tek unlocked that would be why.

unless you are trying to put on the armor while on club ark? That you cant do.

[rustic garnet]

so what i have gotten, i have to have the club the ark mod on my unofficial server and go to an obelisk and claim my rewards there?

[humble thicket]

you can only equip in your server after downloading them from a transmitter or an oblisk

[wise kindle]

Are you Nitrado?

[rustic garnet]

Nop

My computer acts as a server

[wise kindle]

Ok cuz the mod has to run on its own server.

Then you go to that server via the pause menu.

[distant hearth]

club ark is its own map as such , needs to run on its own server

then be clustered

[wise kindle]

Then you play Club Ark games, win prizes. Then go back to your main servers and get the prizes out of the obelisk.

[rustic garnet]

The club mod is being installed on the server

[wise kindle]

That wont work

[distant hearth]

it needs its own server, doesnt go on same server as your main map

[rustic garnet]

and the prizes are claimed at any of the 3 obelisks?

[wise kindle]

yes or transmitters

[rustic garnet]

Ok

I'm going in and I'm going to go to the obelisk

[rustic garnet]

I went to the obelisk and my reward is not there

[olive talon]

If you have not made a club ark server and then clustered it with your other server, you will not see any rewards. We've told you this.

[rustic garnet]

but how is it grouped?

[wise kindle]

You need:

A server with JUST the Club Ark mod on it

and other servers with your main maps running.

You cannot just add the club ark mod to any map. It has to be on its own server.

[distant hearth]

how are you running the servers? from one .exe with batch files or from two .exe?

[olive talon]

Then you have to cluster them together with a clusterID.

[rustic garnet]

I mean, I have to make another ARK club server and merge it, so to speak, with my server on the island.

[distant hearth]

yes , then cluster them together , depending how you run the second server determines what steps are needed to cluster it

[rustic garnet]

Ese

Exe*

[cosmic stone]

Trying to remove Grappling hooks from the engram list using the following:

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_GrapplingHook_C",EngramHidden=True)

However it is not removing. I have other removes in there that are working fine so I assume I have the wrong EngramEntry_Name.
Can anyone tell me if they know the right name or if they see something wrong in the coding there. I can see it being that as I copied from the one above it on a different engram and it works fine.

[distant hearth]

if using just the one .exe then you just need a clusterid set

[rustic garnet]

But I have to create an ark the club server, right?

[distant hearth]

yes you need two servers to make it easy , then cluster them together
you can install another server or run two servers from the same .exe with two differnt batch files

[distant hearth]

the line looks correct ,
it shudnt make a differnce but sometimes does, try like this ,
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_GrapplingHook_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

[humble thicket]

how can i check if there are any rhynia on the server? i dont have any mods

[cosmic stone]

ILl give tha ta try also

[distant hearth]

cheat listdinos
you need to be in the large view of the consolecommand, done by hitting tilde key twice

[humble thicket]

ah thanks

[cosmic stone]

Yeah didnt phase it, seems the only thing I cant get to remove, but not sure why. Ohh well

[rustic garnet]

what would the dedicated server be called, clubark_wp?

[distant hearth]

BobsMissions_WP

[rustic garnet]

Ok

[distant hearth]

unsure then sry , its not a modded item ure trying hide is it ?

[cosmic stone]

Nope vanilla

[tidal cosmos]

In just the regular cloud? Nobody’s stuff has been autouploaded yet, must be a setting issue

As for the shark yes I’m aware how it works

[small trout]

hello i am not setting up a server but trying to join one and wheenever i attempt to connect ia m met with "Assertion failed: NewWorld" and then a long list. How do i fix this?

[distant hearth]

it shud work fine, so just to double check the basics
#1 when joining club ark you hit pause button, it will then join an u make a new char just for clubark
#2 do you see the club ark server from an ob/transmitter?

[wise kindle]

The club ark server just needs to be clustered like the rest of your maps. I made no special changes to get things to download and the only issue i had was the pods not being able to be downloaded. Which I mentioned I fixed.

[tidal cosmos]

I appreciate the attempt to help, but I'm asking on unofficial setup help for a reason

[rustic garnet]

I already have the server working, my other question is, now how do I connect it?

[tidal cosmos]

Thank you, supposedly it is. I can't verify this myself but I was just trying to figure out how I could help by tracking down potential issues and workaround, I'm in the dark at this time

I appreciate it though

[wise kindle]

Are you using Nitrado?

I did notice that there was a difference between the auto installed Nitrado Club Ark version verses the mod addition version. The installed version seems to work better for the Nitrado configurations. Idk why but seems to have less lag and the item transfers seem to work.

If you are selfhosting, I have no idea what would cause these kinds of issues.

[olive talon]

The nitrado club ark servers also don't let you change most of the configs. If you want access to gus.ini/game.ini, you have to rent a regular ark server and then add the mod^

[rustic garnet]

How can I find the cluster id of my exe server? I want to join my The Island server with The Club server to get the rewards

[distant hearth]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/87419-guide-cluster-setup/

[wise kindle]

Yeah the inis have no effect unfortunately. Ran them both ways and it doesnt seem to make a difference. The settings are ignored.

[olive talon]

The only ini available for club ark seems to be the hexagon reward multiplier and how much the spins/rewards cost

[wise kindle]

Yeah, tho Nitrado did open up a bunch of configurable ini settings, none of them work. Except hex. Thats it.

Useless when you have max 300 dinos or anything boosted.

[olive talon]

I just have these 2 available

BaseHexagonRewardMultiplier=1
HexagonCostMultiplier=1

I misread your message completely sorry

[wise kindle]

Yep. Thats it.

Sucks tbh. My players dont find the prizes worth the frustration lol.

[olive talon]

Somehow I read "all of them work. Except hex"

[wise kindle]

lol no worries

[native wave]

Yeah the rewards just aren't worth it. Would be nice if you could modify loot quality like in beacons on standard maps

[wise kindle]

I dont quite understand why they are locked down either.

[olive talon]

I'd like to be able to edit them a little, if nothing else just remove the cryopods rewards because they're never good lol

[native wave]

Special reward for literal shit...what a fucking joke

[distant hearth]

the only good reward is the kibble tbh

[native wave]

The dinos are only useful to get low breeding levels

[native wave]

Honestly...I shouldn't have to tweak settings...the defaults are just shit.

[robust nymph]

Hey all. Curious if some people that have added day cycle settings into the gus inis can go and check to make sure all 3 of the codes are there.
One seems to vanish on all my servers, so nitrado set up a test one and all 3 of the day/night codes vanished in 30 mins

[distant hearth]

which 3 lines and settings are you using ? i can test on one mine if they disapper

[robust nymph]

DayCycleSpeedScale=1
DayTimeSpeedScale=1
NightTimeSpeedScale=1

[distant hearth]

with that value?

[robust nymph]

These are the default ones to copy paste. They don't vanish instantly, but randomly after like an hour or two.
Values don't matter, the whole code seems to vanish.
It goes in Gus under server settings.

[distant hearth]

value does matter, if you try something crazy the server will just ignore them

[wise kindle]

My players get on that map just long enough to get the shark skin then never ever go back.

Its not fun at all. Not even a little.

[olive talon]

We have it rented for 1 month for FA

[native wave]

What a waste
