unofficial-setup-help

[wise kindle]

We havent heard an all clear for that yet. Im leaving it on till they say something. I assume so but I dont have a test map available to test this.

[celest halo]

Svala said they in game #unofficial-setup-help message

[tired rampart]

Anyone run into issues with settings in the ini not applying? Everything seems to work properly EXCEPT MatingIntervalMultiplier, no matter what we set it to, it does not change the time on new tames. Have it set to 0.001 and it's still taking NEW tames, after settings applied, 12-18+ hours between.

We do not have SP setting checked, are on Gportal, and are running better dinos and ark additions, neither of which I can see having mating interval settings.

Ive even used Beacon to reaffirm the setting is properly set, and it's still not changing on our server

[distant hearth]

check in game.ini of the server itself an make sure you dont have a typo or a duped line .
any dinos with a cooldown already set will have to run down there timers before the new setting takes effect

[tired rampart]

Sadly no typoes or dupes, and I always test with fresh tames after each restart

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.001
MatingSpeedMultiplier=40

[distant hearth]

looks correct, presume you have it under the correct header

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

[tired rampart]

Correct, and every other custom settings is applying correctly.

It's literally this one setting. It's driving me mad.

Unless the timers shown on dinos just don't work with these settings, and they will actually breed faster than the timer shows.

[charred warren]

Anyone having the problem on ASA that you can’t place any foundations down? But if you log out and log back in it fixes itself, only for a few minutes and then it’s back to not being able to place them?

[distant hearth]

0.001 shud work, but maybe try 0.01 , just becuase ark ..
never seen it as an issue before , if its in there correctly.
If not maybe contact gportal support, there usually pretty good .

[tired rampart]

Appreciate it, seems that's my only recourse at this point. XD Will attempt the 0.01 change as well, as you said.. because ark. XD

[distant hearth]

yea lolz, stop server, give it a few minutes, see whats in the actual server ini , if its still set 0.001 then try 0.01 . idk why it wud randomly be an issue though tbh, just a last resort i can think of

[lusty anvil]

what app do I get to open an unofficial srvr

[grim sinew]

you dont need an app per say but i use asa dedicated manager

[broken halo]

@distant hearth , @brisk verge I took an extra day testing the settings to try and fix the decay timers and it didn't change still resets with restart just wanted to update you

[distant hearth]

ughh wc likely broke it again then it wud seem

[broken halo]

Yeah I was hoping for a work around but so far nothing. I still find it weird it still works fine on my ab map

[olive talon]

Official Arkpoc has nothing to do with unofficial server setup help. File #bug-reports or #server-reports for issues with official servers.

[quiet sinew]

Ok

[elder fox]

There’s no way to reset a characters level, or have new characters be pre-ascended right?

My server always starts fresh but I’d love to give people the bonus levels.

[upper anchor]

What a joke

What software is that?

[brisk verge]

@distant hearth @broken halo Yea, I think it's possibly been an unintended bug or they have possibly disabled the timer and never let on to the community via the patch notes

[arctic sage]

pre-ascended, i don't think so, but you can use admin commands to give them ascension

[robust nymph]

Will we need to wait for a pause event thing like usual for event mod?
The summer bash is still being shown as the pause one after months.

They didn't mention about having to wait for things to be written into game like they usually do.

[iron bronze]

For me at least, the sumber bash things are in the base game and the mod is good to remove. As for Fear Ascended, I did a test by crafting some stuff and then removing the mod completly from my test server and the things I crafter were not deleted, but I still don't trust it enough to remove the mod from my main servers. I hope we get an update on it soon. I've said it before and I will say it again, we need an unofficial server owner announcement channel

[dense badger]

I've put my scorched earth map to 10x and I'm sill picking up one stone can anyone help ?

[robust nymph]

yeah we dont wanna remove just yet, we all know how wildcard/nitrado work lol

[robust nymph]

did you stop your server before making the change? saved the setting?

[dense badger]

Not sure 😅

Is there anything I can do to fix it if I did ?

So the server was working fine and then I changed the stack size from 100 to 1k and then everything went to 1x pick up

[robust nymph]

Always best to stop the server before making any changes. Did ya change it via settings or with a mod? I use the tj stacking mod. it stacks everything to 1000 and halves the weight. Then i dont need to make changes to the settings myself.

[dense badger]

Oh I'll look into that

[olive talon]

That's just Nitrado being slow to remove the setting tbh.
Svala mentioned FA being safe to remove though, it is pinned here.

[robust nymph]

nice

i've given my players till sunday anyways for any last minute aquiring of things

[rough brook]

Does anyone possibly know a solution?

No matter which map I join on my cluster, I get kicked out permanently within less than a minute.
When I join, there’s heavy lag, and then I’m disconnected.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game, deleted and reinstalled mods, created a new character, cleared the cache, but nothing helps. This issue only affects me—my players can join without any problems and experience absolutely no lag.

[pure haven]

you need to enable both pve and pvp decay and set same number for them. like this:
DisableStructureDecayPvE=False
DisableDinoDecayPvE=False
PvPDinoDecay=True
PvPStructureDecay=True
PvPDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=3
PvPStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=3
PvEDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=3
PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=3

that fixed decay timers reset for me

can also do same for game.ini with
bDisableDinoDecayPvE=false
bDisableStructureDecayPvE=false
bPvPDinoDecay=true
bPvPStructureDecay=true

but im not sure if those are doing anything

[slow zodiac]

Any have good set up for primal chaos mod

[void juniper]

Make sure you ctrl f to search it if you havent already. A lot of times it writes a dupe line on its own.

[tired rampart]

I was, it turned out to be a setting called UseDynamicConfig, that was toggled on, and apparently only affecting the mating interval setting.

[wise kindle]

Can you load into these maps on single player?

[dusty jay]

Hey guys, just wanna confirm with everyone that its safe to remove the halloween mod? Just wanna ensure my cluster doesnt lose any loot they have obtained

[olive talon]

Svala said it should be all in the base game

[dusty jay]

is it confirmed though? should is not a yes or no

[olive talon]

Others have safely removed it, I feel like the acm probably knows...

[dusty jay]

when you said should your leaving doubt. So is it yes i can remove the mod or no. My cluster lost all of their xmas stuff last year due to misinformation last winter

[olive talon]

Then just don't remove it if you're that worried about it. I've said the acm said it was fine and that others have safely removed it. That's literally the best information anyone can give you.

[dusty jay]

who or what is acm? lets use regular english here. secondly you 100% said should and no yes or no. therfore leaving doubt. Can anyone who owns a cluster confirm that we are good

[olive talon]

Svala. The assistant community manager, ACM. That is regular English. I said "should" because I was quoting her. I also told you that several other users have safely removed the mod.

I do own a cluster also.

[dusty jay]

who hell knows what acm means. That is not regular english. Dont be lazy with your typing haha.
So since you own a cluster did it work for you?

[olive talon]

I would not tell you it was safe to remove if I did not believe it.

It is regular English. Either believe me at this point or just don't, or just be patient and wait for more answers. Arguing over an acronym for a community manager is unnecessary. Have a good day.

[dusty jay]

Can someone who has removed the mod please confirm. Clearly Bee hasnt so i again do not trust.

[wise kindle]

Its safe, I tested it.

Tho I wouldnt expect you can spawn the werewolf skin without the mod. They took that ability to spawn the shark skin when they removed the Summer Bash so I would expect the same with Fear and the wolf skin again. I'm pretty sure you have to have the related mod installed to spawn these things.

[dusty jay]

but the existing werewolf skin will remain upon removal?

[wise kindle]

Yep

[dusty jay]

As always... Your da man!! You've always answered and helped folks with clear answers.

[wise kindle]

i try and thanks.

[untold ginkgo]

Okay so a few days ago I was here about an uploads/transfer issue I was having on my server and was told to ask around to other server owners and I have 2 more friends (server owners) that are also having the same issue. We checked all of our settings and there’s no corrupted files or any wrong settings, I’ve submitted bug reports as well and reinstalled the game and the issue persists, I’m completely out of options here so please any insight would be appreciated it. Issue is that every time I open a transmitter/terminal/obelisk there’s a flashing message with “refreshing inventory” that prevents me from transferring to another map and anything I put in the uploads I lose because of that, once I manage to click on it fast enough to download it the items just go away

[wise kindle]

Did you try replacing your Cluster ID with a new one?

It will wipe the obs, but it might fix your issue.

[untold ginkgo]

@trail elm No we haven’t done that. If it wipes the obs would a previous save get them back? Our servers are kinda populated so a server wipe wouldn’t be an option for us in the case we can’t do a previous save for restoring the terminals

[wise kindle]

No, the obs are a seperate entity. If you simple warn ppl to empty their obs beforehand you should be good to take down the maps and then syncronize the cluster ids. But I would definitely create a new one and use that.

[untold ginkgo]

We even submitted a ticket to Nitrado but the fix worked temporarily, within less than 12h the issue was back unfortunately

We will definitely give that a try, thank you so much!! Anything to have that fix at this point

[wise kindle]

It seems to be a common issue, this usually fixes it. Good luck!

[untold ginkgo]

So far it seems to be working, I’ll test back again in 24h, hopefully it stays fixed🥹 thank you again!!

[wise kindle]

if it comes back I'd start looking at whats getting changed on server reset - cuz that would be the only other thing I would think to look at.

[frail ferry]

Ark save viewer, you can download save files then see everything anywhere. It’s great for finding stuff or seeing who has what and where

[alpine mountain]

If I remove the Fear Ascended mod from my server, will everyone lose the cosmetics we made? Will I lose my zombie dodos?

And if I do, then what's the point in installing these event mods if we just lose everything at the end? Are we just supposed to leave them installed forever?

Nevermind, I read some of the older messages and it looks safe to remove it. I'll let my people know to make the cosmetics they want before the mod is removed.

I'd still like to know about the zombie dodos and if they will disappear or not upon mod removal. Thanks

[olive talon]

They should stay, no one that has removed the mod has mentioned losing them, nor has anyone on official.

[alpine mountain]

Thank you very much for the peace of mind 🙏

[ornate raptor]

So I have been running ASA servers for a long while now,. but this last update seems to have broken the dedicated servers for Windows 10. Is anyone else having issues? I get a message saying 'This app can't run on your PC'

[rich cobalt]

Hello everyone have a settings question. I play on console pls5 and use nitrado and beacon. For the longest time I had it so players can always pick up structures. However now I always get that specific “can’t do that” tone(sorry best way I can describe it lol) every time I try and pick anything up. On both nitrado and beacon in ini files under Server both say AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=True. Server has been restarted several times and no change. Can only destroy structures. The only new mod I have recently implemented was Discovery World, but it was working fine up until a few days ago and not thinking any of my mods are causing the issue. Any suggestions?

[rugged tendon]

"Cloning chambers prevent cloning on anything with the Prevent Uploading variable on true"

People having issues cloning a basic anky. Any ideas?

[silent yoke]

Hello anyone here knows how to setup an ark server with pterodactyl interface? And make it crossplay

[celest halo]

ASA servers default is crossplay

[iron bronze]

Is Ark having another Engram issue?

Some engrams are completely missing and others are not where they should be according to our engram changes...

[iron bronze]

Never mind
A game restart fixed it ^^

[spare pelican]

Someone knows which settings affect times between cravings and total incubation for the Rhynio?

Currently I have 1:30 between cravings and total 9:30, so 1:30 x 5 = 7:30. we left 2 mins to fulfill cravings, 24 secs for each

[gloomy egret]

Helloo
I have a question about nitrado expert settings, I've been wanting to unlock specifically the egg incubator engram, right now I have autounlockallengrams but I want to have the eggincubator unlock right away, can I do this? Or do I have to unlock them all one by one in the expert setting if I do that?

[high jacinth]

Anyone have gas veins just disappear on aberration?

[wise kindle]

They have a 12 hour decay time, so someone probably demo’d them when the timer ran out.

[untold ginkgo]

@wise kindle So yesterday as you said to change the cluster ID Nitrado said the same thing in a ticket we have open. We brought our maps down and it worked for couple hours (one of the servers was having issues but they fixed it) and then it started happening again. I even reinstalled the game overnight and still have it, there’s nothing we can find that looks different after reset (usually happens at 4am EST and the issue started again around 10pm EST so long before reset) I really am at a loss about this and I don’t know what else we can do….. losing the implant every time I transfer is not a bother really, usually fast travel/death fixes it but with the uploads I just lose everything that goes in……

[wise kindle]

Is this happening after you transfer?
As in, you transfer, pick up things, then the items poof? Or is it happening at the moment you transfer?

[untold ginkgo]

Is there a way I could DM you the video I have of it? I can also explain but the video will show it better

[wise kindle]

Cuz it kinda sounds like a desync after transfer - which I see slot after Aberration dropped.
I tell ppl to immediately relog after transfer to fix the desync.

[untold ginkgo]

I’m fine most of the time until it’s time to leave the map but it happens with any map, even if I don’t go to aberration

[wise kindle]

I may have you mixed up with someone else, but I thought the original issue was the extended obelisk inventory load time.

[untold ginkgo]

The issue I have happens on an obelisk, transmitter, aberration terminal and drops, basically any method I use to try to transfer/upload

[wise kindle]

So its NOT inventory load time?
Its missing items?

[untold ginkgo]

It’s kinda both. I wish I could post the video somewhere, any ticket, email, anything that would make it easier. Even if I explain I’m afraid I may not be giving you the idea I intend

I get the “refreshing inventory” flashing message after uploading something and then when I get the item out (after a struggle) it’s just gone

[wise kindle]

I guess send a video. Cuz i cant help if im only getting half the picture

[untold ginkgo]

DMs fine?

[wise kindle]

Yeah

[untold ginkgo]

Sent!

[errant fox]

Dinos I spawn in can't harvest resources. What did I do?

[wise kindle]

check your dino harvesting multipliers

[errant fox]

They are on default for harvesting.

Tamed dinos can harvest resources but the ones I spawn in are not able to harvest.

[wise kindle]

That sounds like a bug. Is this after unpodding?

[errant fox]

both. tried spawning then cryoing to see if it was a bug and still the same thing.

[wise kindle]

All dinos? Modded dinos?

[errant fox]

I don't have any mods. Just was trying to clear a beach for an event so I spawned a rock ele and it won't harvest but the theri I force tamed would harvest.

[wise kindle]

will a spawned in theri harvest?

[errant fox]

I'll check afer I get the server back up

[errant fox]

yeah a spawned theri is working so must be a bug with the rock ele

maybe since it doesn't spawn on the center or something else I don't know

[wise kindle]

yep, probably

[errant fox]

Oh its something even worse it is just the rock I am trying to harvest

[silent yoke]

Hello anyone here knows how to setup an ark server with pterodactyl interface?

Anyone?

[errant fox]

the rocks on this island happened to just be for show

[wise kindle]

You cant harvest alot of rocks on mod maps with certain dinos, so this is not surprising.

[errant fox]

Lol but it's the center

[wise kindle]

The large rocks are part of the map.

harvest small ones

if all rocks were harvestable, then caves and mountians wouldnt exist

[errant fox]

These aren't the huge ones just the standard sized ones that you normally find on the beach to harvest

[wise kindle]

Try a fasola, they are better at it anyway

[errant fox]

Just going to a different island. Appreciate the help anyways. For all things for it to be I think that was the dumbest

[silent yoke]

hello anyone kknows how to make a server?

[solid sleet]

Hello
Does anyone know if Nitrado is going to add more mod storage space like Xbox did with the 50GB ?

[olive talon]

Likely have to wait until PS gets the storage too

[solid sleet]

Ok thank you

[solid sleet]

For me I watched a lot and a lot of YouTube and google search

[silent yoke]

i just send you dm

anyone knows how can i join to my own server xdd?

[humble thicket]

What's the updated way to whitelist custom cosmetics again? I've looked online but I only get the old way and I'm struggling to find the new way.

i use the offical list as a templete lmao https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Web_API#Official_PvE_cosmetic_whitelist_(ASA)

[terse hamlet]

Hello, im currently making a non-dedicated world with some mods and am messing with some settings like how much the player gets per level in stat, im just wondering if there is a way to increase how much crafting speed % you get per level because i cant see it in the settings

[bleak ivy]

it can be done in the ini, its not in the singleplayer menu.

[terse hamlet]

i did look up how to do it but when i get into game it doesnt work

i did [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[11]=1000

[bleak ivy]

did you put it in game.ini? the top part should already be in it.

[terse hamlet]

i put it in GameUserSettings.ini but there is no section with [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] theres only [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings] and [/Script/Engine.GameSession]

[bleak ivy]

it goes in game.ini not gameusersettings

[terse hamlet]

oh, lemme check

omg thank you so much

[slow zodiac]

hello any could help me with primal chaos set up pls 🙏🙏

[regal kernel]

theres a guy on my asa server that keeps loosing his character, he says that he logs in and the game asks him to make a new character and his character is just laying down somewhere but he cant use it obv this has happened to him 5 times now and each time he has leveled a new character

it has only happened to 1 other person one time

does anyone know why this would happen?

he also says that sometimes it happens after the server lags and kicks him out

[tender root]

is it possible to increase the amount of linked storages? By a mod or a ini setting - i don't care 😄 but having 5 ppl on my tribe each with their own base, the limit is too small 😄

[raven wigeon]

is it safe to remove the fear ascended mod now??

[distant hearth]

yes

[raven wigeon]

do we need to add the comand to bypass the mod?

[distant hearth]

no just remove it

[raven wigeon]

kk thx

[wise kindle]

tbh that sounds like a really bad connection.

Also if he is logging out right at reset its likely rolling back each time and eating his character.

Make sure he isnt on wifi and that he isnt transferring immediately before server reset. If he is on wifi AND a Series S, then thats likely part of the issue.

[slate bridge]

hey guys, do anyone know how i do the engram override so i can change the crafting cost of something ?

[distant hearth]

depends what you want to change the cost of , a simple example is given here , to make a cloth shirt cost 1 fiber and 1 stone,
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemArmor_ClothShirt_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))
Here has more info, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Items_related
i personally use beacon omni app, to do it, but thats part of the paid version i believe

[slate bridge]

Legeng thank you ! 😄

[obtuse falcon]

Can someone give me a line code to remove dreadmare and replace it with an Argie or something.

[distant hearth]

it wud be something like this ,

```here has more info https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#NPCReplacements

[obtuse falcon]

And that’s in game ini?

[wise kindle]

If you peek the link, and search for NPCReplacements, you will see it is listed under:

Game.ini
All the following options can only be set in the [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] section of Game.ini, located in the same folder as GameUserSettings.ini (see Configuration Files for its location).

[obtuse falcon]

Thanks you

[slate bridge]

Doh, what ive done didnt make the engram crafting costs different. Does anyone have any idea how to increase ? Here is my code below
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="EngramEntry_DedicatedStorage_Better_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=4,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_C",BaseResourceRequirement=55,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=125,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Element_C",BaseResourceRequirement=3,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Crystal_C",BaseResourceRequirement=75,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))
Im trying to make the crafting cost to be exactly what a normal tek dedi box is.

Its for a mod called better dedicated storage which the owner said it can be adjusted

[distant hearth]

it looks correct to me, you have it in the game.ini file under the header thats already there,
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

[slim fog]

Hey guys, I have a question regarding XP multipliers:
KillXPMultiplier and WildKillXPMultiplier. Do both of these multipliers add up? For example both multipliers are set 2.0 then a wild dino kill gives 4x experience?

[cyan girder]

Guys I can open Host non-dedicated session the island server but when I exit the server game is not saving the server so everything is deleting.I redownloaded game too but nothing changed And I need to create a new character everytime if I want to play. can someone help me pls.I am not using any antivurs and I tryed to admincheat save world thing but its not worked can someone help me pls I want to play with my friends(its ase-steam)

[wise kindle]

Non dedicated has that bug right now. You have to wait for a fix.

This doesnt happen on dedicated maps, only non dedi.

[carmine mantle]

So i removed a mod from my server as well as added some structure plus configs to game.ini, i also changed auto engrams off through Beacon. But since all of this, my server has not shown up on the lists. It has shown up a few times on day 0 but no one can join without a connection error message

any ideas anyone?

i have also tried restoring a backup save which has not worked

[wise kindle]

structure plus configs? is this ASE?

[carmine mantle]

yes

literally nothing is working and idk why

[regal kernel]

ok thanks

[cyan trail]

Anyone know how to change the max allowed number of linked storage boxes?

[humble thicket]

TamingSpeedMultiplier work also for passive taming?

[last magnet]

I think it's hard coded in, but there's a mod that has it's own linked storage box and 10 is the limit (might be more now, not sure as I use CS for my storage)

[last magnet]

It does in my experience. I have it set to 5x and it makes passive taming go quicker. I also set wild food drain to be a bit faster but I don't have the numbers handy so they get hungry faster

[junior jackal]

So I just got a server and started it up but I keep getting a connection failed message and I can load into other servers just fine

[gloomy egret]

Helloo
I have a question about nitrado expert settings, I've been wanting to unlock specifically the egg incubator engram, right now I have autounlockallengrams but I want to have the eggincubator unlock right away, can I do this? Or do I have to unlock them all one by one in the expert setting if I do that?

[kind moon]

I’d suggest using beacon it is great for that type of thing

[heady rover]

I was pointed out to ask. For single player can i use max count more then 1? Can i use number 10 for bigger ammount of dino spawn

[humble thicket]

the egg incubator is from mods, its not in base game, which mod are you using?

[arctic sage]

or it's ase, not asa

[gaunt wave]

this is my first time setting up an ascended server, so i’m seeking a little help. if i would like a baby dino to be grown in about 3-4 hours, what would be my multiplier rate?

[bleak ivy]

depends on the dino

[gaunt wave]

i have a feeling i’m gonna lose hair 😂😂

but i’m wanting to cut the official growth rate in half, which i’m assuming is to be 1 as already in the file

[bleak ivy]

half of official rate is a lot longer then 3-4 hours.

using rex as an example. its 4 days so half is 2 entire in real life days.

[gaunt wave]

okay so about an 8th of official rates, i was going off of a cluster that i played that stated to have used official rates, thank you for that clarification on that though

[next abyss]

We need help with our server

@bleak ivy

@gaunt wave

Can you help us

[wise kindle]

You should ask the question and then wait to see who can help you.

[next abyss]

Well our server won’t come up and we did the coding and all of that but when we load it up it restarts its self

And we don’t know how to contact nitrado

[wise kindle]

There is the Nitrado discord or support via the website.

But, when you ordered the map, did you let it finish the setup before making changes?
Setup takes at least 30 minutes. If you made changes during this time, it can corrupt the installation and it will never come online.
If you think this is the issue, you can reinstall the game via the REINSTALL option on the left side.
If you do this be sure to wait a full 30 minutes before touching anything.
Then try to log on to the map BEFORE you make any changes to verify.
Then if you can connect successfully, fully shutdown the map before making your changes.

[humble thicket]

anybody knows whats the best way to block cave dinos from spawning?

[untold hare]

what should i have the setting as for baby raising? I dont want to wait an hour for a baby to mature, but i also want dont want it to raise instantly so i can imprint it (our imprint setting is 90 lol)

[bleak summit]

anyone know how to fix the kicked by battle eye when trying to get into servers

[next abyss]

Okay we did all of that but know we might think it’s the coding

[wise kindle]

Trying running it with no mods, then add them one by one to see whats messing things up.

[humble thicket]

How do you set the dedicated server password on console

I can’t find out how

[rotund scaffold]

If someone purchase a skin mod like power rangers and I don't why I go it installed? I can't enter to my server 😔

[small raven]

can anyone help? i made a server for me and a friend but im only able to join it and if they do it just connects forvever for them. im using playit.gg to port forward

[small raven]

what are the ports you need for asa server?

[distant hearth]

port , it only uses the one udp port for connecting,
then an rcon port if u want to setup that but doesnt "NEED" IT

[bleak ivy]

I used none, because I don't do port-forwarding 😂

[small raven]

and what is the port it needs? cuz i did tcp/udp 7777, 7778, and 27015 but for some reason i can join the server but my friends get timed out and cant join

[bleak ivy]

LAN connection for the win outside of that zero tier is the one I use, creates LAN connection through a VPN. don't know if it works for consoles tho.

[distant hearth]

what ever port you set , by default 7777udp unless told otherwise in server start command

[bleak ivy]

does ASA even use those ports anymore?

[small raven]

im not sure but i dont know where to look for the correct ports if they are not it

[distant hearth]

7777 udp default , 7778 is the default if a second server is started, 27015 is an old ase query port for steam server listings

[small raven]

oh okay

[bleak ivy]

oh, the third one is the one I was thinking of. steam isn't used anymore.

[distant hearth]

you forwarded through windows firewall and any antivirus/malware software u might use?

[bleak ivy]

playit should go around the firewall. (have used it before)
antivirus/malware software no idea.

[distant hearth]

ahh ok , not familiar with it . easy enough to just do it manually

[bleak ivy]

playit is like hamachi but less direct connection more general connection through their servers. like how platform joining works

[bleak ivy]

if your router allows it

[distant hearth]

seems like a lot hassle for just a few clicks

[bleak ivy]

lots of people want to host but can't port-forward due to router or ISP restrictions.

or just not being the person with the routers password 😂

[distant hearth]

if router is blocking it id assume the isp does too , not really sure why people wud want internet they cant control, i pay for it , it shud do what i want lolz

[bleak ivy]

some areas its the only option.

even in the US, you are sometimes locked to a single ISP no matter how hard you try.

[small raven]

im at college so i dont have access to the router or anything like that

[distant hearth]

likely the college is blocking it , to stop people doing what your trying tbh

[bleak ivy]

nah, playit would go around it. its a connection like any platform would be. unless they specifically blocked it but not others.

its not openning a port. just a connection between you and the server. the open part is on their side.

playit would probably tell them if the connection didn't work as well. it should say it connected in both the app and the website.

[distant hearth]

weird, id have to look it up an try understand how it allows an incoming connections. If its supoosed to work and dont then i guess try there support

[bleak ivy]

the connection goes to their server then jumps aboard the ongoing connection between you and their server.
like how xbox works, it goes through xbox servers to connect to each xbox.

[distant hearth]

ah so just a trusted middleman, i wudnt be suprised if colleges block it tbh .. they ussually have pretty strict networks now a days

[bleak ivy]

I imagine playit would say it'd at least say it couldn't connect.

but who knows, never seen what happens if it does disconnect lol.
I used it for minecraft like year and a half ago 😂

[small raven]

sadly stilll does not work. hosting the udp 7777 port off playit.gg and im able join yet for my friends it keeps saying "join failed connection timeout" , and yes i made sure it was allowed through the firewall and i dont have any other antimalware apps on my pc

i guess it could be the school not sure

[bleak ivy]

couple things to check. see if it shows on battlemetrics. and see what playit says about them joining.
also maybe try making sure playit is the active window, sometimes cmd prompt windows require that.

[distant hearth]

it shud show on battlemetrics without any forwarding, as far as i can tell when installing the server it makes its own firewall exceptions(you have to click yes to agree when done manually)
then the server i guess sends a ping to eos , to tell that system its online
then u can use battlemetrics to see what ip adress and port its running on

[fossil shoal]

Updated self hosted servers and cryofridge deployment is still a problem, any setting i need to add?

[distant hearth]

DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=true
in gus.ini under [serversettings]
servers have always had this option

[tranquil orchid]

Anyone know why it says I'm out of mod space when I haven't even downloaded any mods yet and this seems to be an issue if u just search it and there's no fix anywhere on the internet like what's going on here

[dense wind]

I'm on arch linux and want to run a dedicated server for ark evolved. I have done it before on windows with ark server manager but not sure where to start now that I'm on linux.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

[bleak ivy]

weird

[bleak ivy]

make sure you have space on the console, make sure you don't have all the custom cosmetics downloaded.
if all else fails just delete the mod space and redownload the ones you wanted

[tranquil orchid]

Did u read what I said?

I haven't downloaded any mods yet I just downloaded the game it seems there's no fix for it just a random bug with no fix

[bleak ivy]

if you played officials cosmetics could've been downloaded. thats why I said that.
just delete the mod space then in the files. if you have nothing downloaded it shouldn't do anything.

[vital minnow]

Anyone know how to prevent the transfer dupe glitch without turning transfers off?

[grand coyote]

im playing through xbox game pass on pc and I've been struggling on loading into servers for a while now and every fix method I've tried hasn't worked (reinstalling, seeing if its something with my internet its not and repairing files) i did read that something was going on with the game not working right if you have amd drivers. if thats the case what do i need to do with them. i cant send a picture of the error so if you are able to help me ill dm it to you.

[iron bronze]

Can we remove fear ascended yet?

Just saw that it can be removed ^^

[lone slate]

Content failed to load again?

[restive geyser]

have the same issue

[lone slate]

Also very interested in this. Hyper Mods teased a mod in production a few weeks back but didn’t hear back from him… maybe you’d have more luck speaking to him

[lone slate]

Fixed now I think. I can join again

[vital minnow]

I already did. He told me the same thing he is still working on it. That was last night

[lone slate]

Oh damn I just opened another ticket with him over it 😬 think he’s our only hope 😅

[vital minnow]

Yeah doesn't look like any other modders have been working on any form of dupe protection mods other than Hyper. And we all know Wild Card clearly doesn't care about fixing it.

Isn't that right @zealous aurora

[lone slate]

Yeah unfortunately I’ve found that the case. It’s such a game breaking exploit - especially on no wipe servers 😩

[vital minnow]

Yeah their official servers are littered with dupe loot like crazy too. They literall just don't care

It's not even being addressed at all which is crazy

[lone slate]

People don’t even farm anymore 😂 well if you find anything please dm or something and I’ll do the same. Would be one less thing to worry about if duping was fixed 😑

[vital minnow]

Yeah sadly only thing I know of at the moment is to turn off transfers but then our servers would be dead so thats no good. W wild card

[lone slate]

Dunno about you but if I disabled item transfers I’d have riots in discord 🤣 only other thing is reducing stack sizes, but again not possible for me as that would cause massive disruption to even legit players. There’s no way round it atm

[vital minnow]

yeah thats what i was thinking too but it would literally have to be stack sizes of one other than adv and shards of course because of turrets and a few other items that need a higher stack for a crafting recipe, but people would lose it if you did that, imagine black boxing on only 300 cementing paste lol

[meager pewter]

I host my own server on game hosting server and its used pterodactyl panel.the panel its look normally but i cant join to my ip server.its say Joining Failed - Connection Timeout. How can i fix its?

[static field]

Ever since the update on 11/13, the end of the fear event, my Island map crashes every time I walk to a certain location. Anyone else having this issue? Is my save just completely corrupt?? Thank you!

Edit -- I actually figured this out. I had to do a dino wipe after the fear event.

[thin raptor]

Anyone here play mod map insaluna?

[olive talon]

If it's map issues or specifics for the map, you'd have more luck asking in the mod author's discord/page

[thin raptor]

Oh no not at all I was wondering if anyone has done those special bosses and if they are as hard as they say

[olive talon]

Probably #ark-survival-ascended, this is for setup help, whether it's SP or server

[spiral palm]

How does one self-host a club ark server? Do you put the bobsmissions as the map and then set the id in the -mod field? And the rest is just like a normal map?

[bleak ivy]

Bobsmissions_WP
yeah, just don't add any other mods. the only things it needs are the cluster settings, map name, and club ark mod

[spiral palm]

awesome thanks!

[next abyss]

Can some one help us with the coding of our server

If one of y’all can help I’ll add y’all to a discord but we just need help

[distant hearth]

all the settings and where they go can be found here ,
takes a bit of reading but you can search for specfic things to figure out what they do
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

theres also a program/app called beacon omni tht really helps, the free version does alot, the paid alot more

[next abyss]

We just need help with the coding because it keeps shutting down by its self

@distant hearth

[distant hearth]

its unusual for coding to cause server crashes unless youre trying to do something crazy like 200x and way boosted drops.
you sure its the coding causing it ?

[next abyss]

We’re doing a fibercraft

[distant hearth]

crazy boosted then

[bleak ivy]

also make sure its not because of mods

[next abyss]

We tested it with out mods and it still crashes

What the limit or x can we do

[bleak ivy]

did you look at gameusersettings to see if the mods left any configs in?

[next abyss]

For the fiber

[bleak ivy]

its fibercraft just go like 10x harvesting. doesn't really need to be higher then that

[next abyss]

Well we’re being arkzone back and where changing a few things

But no matter what we do it still crashes and when we don’t put coding it work but with it doesn’t work

[distant hearth]

if you have crazy boosted drops , remove that part first and test, its a common mistake people make

[next abyss]

What you mean crazy boasted

Boosted *

[distant hearth]

loads of items in them

[wise kindle]

Anything over about 30x starts causing stability issues.

[distant hearth]

ive seen people try to put like 1k of each tek item in , stuff like that

[next abyss]

So where trying to do 500 and 1000x

[distant hearth]

pmsl and wonder why got server crash issues , have fun

[next abyss]

Wait what?

Or make to where it’s like terror or monster fiber craft

But different

[wise kindle]

They block a million in game mechanics, items and dinos. Then just try to keep their servers up.
As Will said, have fun.

[next abyss]

So I can’t get help then?

[wise kindle]

You could ask a fibercraft owner what to block.

[distant hearth]

1000x is insanity , on a fibre craft no less, total waste of time . a doubt a dedicated machine just for one server cud handle it without crashing.
then i bet the drops are full of shit too , coz things arent easy enough to get ... right?
who ever codes can attempt individiual item harvest rates but i still think its gonna crash an be laggy

the help i will give is, think about lower rates

[next abyss]

So 50x on harvest?

[distant hearth]

maybe on a dedicated machine with more resources allocated to it , nitrado server i highly doubt it

[wise kindle]

Like 5x for stability tbh. The game isnt optimized for that.

[distant hearth]

if you setup each harvest item individually like this, obv need to do each an every item

HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Flint_C",Multiplier=50)```
its might work, id prob drop everything else down a bit though an just have the fiber higher , then increase stack sizes, player and dino weight mutiplier per level to balance 

if u insist on trying go higher just have to keep testing till find stability

[celest halo]

lol the games not even optimized for 1x

[distant hearth]

good point lolz

[wise kindle]

It do be a piece of poo atm

[last magnet]

my harvest is at 3x, and my stacks at 1k, and I have additional weight per level point

[bleak ivy]

even that is way higher then needed on fibercraft. you swing a sickle at a bush a single time and you won't ever need to harvest again.
get a dino like a theri or moschops and even 10x would be more then you need.

[last magnet]

oh yeah on SP, a theri was so OP in harvesting fiber

[bleak ivy]

another thing you'd want to do if you play boosted is boost stack sizes helps more then you'd think

[next abyss]

Okay

[alpine nova]

Hi im having trouble trying to adjust the taming speed in the game.ini file - where can i find ths?

i want it to be fairly quick

[distant hearth]

TamingSpeedMultiplier=1 is default
goes in gameusersetting.ini
under the header [serversettings]
its prob already there just change the number to what you want , higher = faster taming

[alpine nova]

so i am using bisect hosting and i cannot find this

[distant hearth]

no idea , never heard of that host . do they not have some sort control panel where you adjust settings? if not then you will have to find out how to access the ini files

[hollow heron]

Hey guys could use help my cryosick timer pops up 300 then disappears. It let's me pop dinos right after another. It says there cryosick but they dnt get knocked out

[alpine nova]

well i found it now - but the tamingspeedmultipler is not in the gameusersetting.ini

will i be ok to just add it?

[distant hearth]

yea you can add if not there, always double check first before adding any line, duplicates cause headaches

[celest halo]

hmmm a patch for server and not a patch note in sight lmao

public 16397866 11 minutes ago

[distant hearth]

usual wc efficincy then

[celest halo]

and live didnt get one lol

asalive 16397852 4 days ago

[distant hearth]

prob why theres no notes, live wud be all confused an upset

[celest halo]

yeah

but how we posed to know patch is good if our public testers dont get it 🤣

[distant hearth]

yea true, i wudnt install it lmao . did shitrado get it?

[celest halo]

didnt look at that one

nitradopc 16374039 7 days ago

nope

[distant hearth]

oh thats super weird

deffo wudnt install it lmao

[celest halo]

and they 3 days behind officials lmao

[distant hearth]

its prob a mistake an someone misclicked lolz

[celest halo]

lol

[distant hearth]

unoff_beta is self host testing i thnk ,
npc_beta nitrado i think ,
crossplay i suspect the official beta , that was updated similar time

[celest halo]

we will see what it breaks tomorrow, when everyone that has auto restart and update enabled lmao

one of the main reasons i dont do updates in my start script lol

[olive talon]

Me having it turned off because ew

[celest halo]

i dont do auto restarts either so im normally safe

[cinder abyss]

Is there a simplified way to put in the configs so only levels 50-150 spawn in? With greater chance for the higher levels?

[distant hearth]

using the custom dino level mod is the easiest way

[cinder abyss]

Rather not keep using an abandoned mod and keep the installed mod count down tbh

[distant hearth]

that mod works perfectly fine but if you want to do it the hard way ,
you will have to rewrite every single point on the map with custom code adding in the min level for each individual dino in that group , beacon wud help with it, still a hell lot work though .
the mod doesnt get updates becuase it dont need them, just works how it says

[distant hearth]

the paid version of beacon it seems can do it with a few clicks , but its alot code generated , never tested doing it that way as just use the mod
you wud have to try it an see, asa spawns are a bit janky , plus u wud have to update the code everytime they added something, i.e dreadmare or pyro, im not sure how those get put into the base game code as never bothered to look

[cinder abyss]

Yeah I’m just curious how it works with the mods that do it. Because when all these new Dino’s get added or mod Dino’s, how does it keep up if the developers don’t do updates?

[distant hearth]

but it wudnt skew the levels higher like the mod can , just sets the minimum spawn to lvl 50, you wud have to figure out how to make higher levels spawn , likely doing it manually

[distant hearth]

that im unsure of it, somehow it just adjusts every base game dino in the game, most modded dinos too , even when new ones get added , i dont understand it enough to hazard a guess

[cinder abyss]

If there was a way to set to Dino class then that would be really cool

[distant hearth]

manually you cud do that , i think ... as youre essentially rewriting what the spawn code is , again a lot time an effort , but possible

[celest halo]

@distant hearth you see #patch-notes lmao

[distant hearth]

yep lmao just read it, best one yet

im irl laughing still ...

[celest halo]

yup push it to unofficial then do a patch note like that lmao

[distant hearth]

i mean at least there honest , i can get behind that .... were testing things, thats fine, i wont take it

[bleak ivy]

what else are they supposed to say if they are testing stuff lol. not everything can be explained or should be.

was updated lol.

[celest halo]

its only an hour late, and "testing stuff" not something you really want to see when its pushed to public lol

[bleak ivy]

public tests are required as well. public builds and QA builds are usually different.

even COD does live testing

especially tests in the deployment method.

[celest halo]

im fine with live testing on officials, half the people on unofficials dont know how to fix there server if the "testing" buld they released breaks them

[bleak ivy]

sometimes thats required too.

dollie said this in general 😂

[celest halo]

😂

[wise kindle]

Omg lol

[distant hearth]

This is just a test deployment```
sounds better, nothing to see here, move along

[robust nymph]

Are all series s users having problems play on maps that aren't island and scorched?
Transferring to ab or centre causes dcs and can't get back on to get characters off maps

[next abyss]

Dose anyone here knows how to code will pay

[distant hearth]

you cant pay someone to code what is not possible, 1000x fibrecraft for example lolz
id suggest learning yourself , if you pay someone an get issues in the future , you wont be able fix it ....
did you try using more reasonable settings?

and with individual harvest rates how i showed here , #unofficial-setup-help message @next abyss

[next abyss]

We’re not doing that

[distant hearth]

so ure just trying to adjust the global harvest rate?
if so that will cause major lag and instability on anything over like 5x

[next abyss]

We’re not doing 1000x we just want the lvl to be 600 for wild Dinos and have harvest to give you 10k or 6 k

And the code we put even when changing it it still shuts down

[distant hearth]

10k or 6k of what ? everything harvests differnt, doesnt work like that .
pick a bush by hand n u might get 300 fiber, do it with an ascendant sickle an u might get 3000

600 wild dinos is easy , its one simple line change
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=20

[next abyss]

For other serves that dose fine you pick a bush and get 6000 or 4K

[distant hearth]

it just doesnt work like that , there are variables, u make it so people get 6k by hand and as soon as a dino harvests a bush the server will crash

[bleak ivy]

there is also no reason for a fibercraft to be that high.
you only need to collect fiber and the different foods.

[next abyss]

Yeah but also to make a lot of ammo and stuff for bb making

[distant hearth]

prob best place to start , where is the server hosted? a self hosted server can do a hell of lot more than a nitrado server ?

bb ? bushberry seeds?

[bleak ivy]

those should also just cost fiber on fibercraft at least any that I played.

[bleak ivy]

probably blueprint

bushberry is used as a currency ain't it? shouldn't be craftable

[distant hearth]

it can be , its just an in game item, can use it for many things

[bleak ivy]

I meant from a "used as currency" standpoint.

[distant hearth]

alot pvp server shops use that as in game currency as they can control it easily in the code

alway smake me laugh, they will add like 1k bb to a alpha dino drop, im like, just use 1 ? 1k or 1 is the same when u control the currency

[bleak ivy]

reason to go less is to have smaller increments but if everything is above 1k then yeah.

[distant hearth]

ive seen kids try crazy shit, thousands of each type tek in drops then wonder why server crash after 5 mins, shit like that is just stupid

[bleak ivy]

I don't think I worded that right lol. reason to be able to go smaller.

[distant hearth]

one kids server was crashing everytime they opend a drop, they were trying to have 100k of each ammo type spawn in the drop lolz, like hmm, wonder whats the issue

on top of loads of tek stuff etc

[bleak ivy]

yeah, unless they have 1000x stacks 😂 even then I bet it'll lag a ton

wonder what the max stack size actually is

[distant hearth]

no idea tbh, never thought to try find out

i dont usuallygo above 5x rates an 1k stacks

i find the more boosted a server the faster everyone gets bored, so tend to stick to faster breeding an the rest low like sometimes even 0.5xp the first month

[bleak ivy]

I think my global is 10x stacks, but the non-stackables are 500 (not sure why I chose that lol)
think my rates are 5x.

[distant hearth]

i just use beacon to set everything to stack at 1k most time, some stuff lower like prime , honey etc

i used do it manually an its a chore, beacon makes it just a few clicks

[bleak ivy]

I don't got omni so not gonna set everything manually lol

global setting works fine. then just set the unstackables manually

[distant hearth]

yea its fine for small servers most the time , 5x on a server with more than 10 people at a time , u will start to notice lag when people harvest with just a global multiplier

get over 20 people an well , then u know about it .. an maybe even crashe

[bleak ivy]

mine has only ever had 3 people lol. usually its me and my alt.

I think in ASE I had 4 people once

actually I may have had 5 people in ASE 😂 long time ago when val released.

was using different settings then. my stack sizes would've been the same but everything else would probably have been different.

[distant hearth]

ive set up quite a few server over the years from small personal ones, to streamers with 20+ on each map in the cluster,
had to just learn to make the servers work as efficiently as possible to minimize lag
it was a mistake lmao , started as favour for a friend an grew from there, friend of a friend who knew a friend said, you can fix my server type stuff ...

[bleak ivy]

my server is just whatever settings I liked and threw in there 😂 I did have to do a bit of minimizing lag but since its tiny not that much at all.

[distant hearth]

that show i started lolz

[shadow bear]

Anyone hosting a Club Ark server having issues with players redeeming their coins(Hexagons)? Unlocking permanent event skins is working fine, earning the coins is working fine. But when players specificall buy items from one of the shops, or use the roulette wheels, the game just takes the coins and does nothing. No animation, no items, nothing.

[dusk vessel]

from Nitrado:
Dear Survivors, We want to inform you about an ongoing issue with ClubARK that has been affecting the gameplay experience since the conclusion of the "Fear Evolved" event. Specifically, players are currently unable to receive rewards from the prize wheels. Our team has reported this problem to Studio Wildcard, and they are actively investigating the root cause to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We understand how frustrating this situation can be and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We kindly ask for your patience as the technical team works towards a solution. Thank you for your understanding, and we will keep you updated on any progress. Best regards,

Hello everyone !
I'm searching a mod that can be really useful for a lot of things.
For all servers admins, do you remember Simple Spawners from ASE ? This mod was here to help us make spawns of a lot of things like Creatures, Radioactive Zone, Oil Zone,etc...
I'm searching a mod that can be approximately the same thing as Simple Spawners for ASA, it's been months that I'm searching a mod like this but... It seems I'm not good enough at researches lmao.
Did someone knows a mod like this in here ?

Thank you in advance guys and girls !

[olive talon]

I haven't found one and unfortunately Darklore had some file loss so it'll take even longer for Simple Spawners to come to ASA

Hey, can anyone help me understand this, our server keeps crashing and producing this log, all the logs are identical apart from the "last replicated actor" that dino keeps changing, but the "ClientMoveResponsePacked" is always there.

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, I saw that Darklore wants to do Simple Spawners on ASA but it will be long, so there's 3 solutions, waiting a mod like it, waiting Simple Spawners or... I'll do it myself xD

[olive talon]

Could just use Beacon's creature spawns/adjustments feature until then

[sharp vessel]

It's not an emergency tho, it's just that I really appreciate this mod, it was a must-have for admins on ASE, and in some months, it will too on ASA, but we can wait !

[naive panther]

anyone else having crashes related to a missing tbb.dll after update?

[tepid berry]

Great, I'm getting a "tbb.dll" not found error....

[vale sierra]

tbb.dll me 2

[tepid berry]

WILDCARD!!!!

[sleek nacelle]

^^

[gentle niche]

updated server now most of the files are gone, says cannot run startup because tbb.dll was not found, great

[tepid berry]

LOL you aren't lying. Update absolutely GUTTED the server directories, lol

[gentle niche]

@brave summit @low haven anyone lol? server directory is basically empty

im not gonna update until after 24hrs with the next one XD

[small hazel]

Yepp, another one here with the missing tbb.dll issue.

[gentle niche]

missing literally all the dlls XD

[tepid berry]

I managed to get it up

[gentle niche]

how?

[tepid berry]

I copied all the missing files from an older server into the updated server folder

Without overwriting any newer file

and I found a random tbb.dll file on the internet and put it in the windows/system32 dir

[fierce timber]

Is there a way to fix absolutely no creatures spawning in the higher terrain areas on Aberration? ASE had creatures spawning up top in higher areas in Green zone just fine, but in ASA there's absolutely no spawns whatsoever and it's pretty jarring to have huge areas just entirely dead.

[tepid berry]

Eh, it ended up crashing in the end anyways :[

[gentle niche]

just read the announcements, fixing server files, should be within the hour -__

wish i never updated lol just wanna play

[tepid berry]

I managed to get my servers up, woop woop

[gentle niche]

same but i had to restore the server files to a previous version luckily backed up from this morning XD

[tepid berry]

Copied the shootergame/content/plugins directories over

Also copied shootergame/binaries/win64/[everything-except-the-shootergame-folder in here]

and the stuff in the root of the directory - making sure not to overwrite places where the server saves map data, etc

So it's just they left the content of the update out of the update, and it deletes all the models/data, etc.

[sweet rapids]

jezus ><

[tepid berry]

If you're not confident with that kind of thing, wait for the update. You could seriously fuck stuff up

[sinful island]

so we have big downloads with the fix...

[tepid berry]

"in about an hour" they said

[gentle niche]

I dont have that path :S

oh wait, from the steam folder not the server one right>

[sacred pewter]

my server keeps restarting

[iron bronze]

Was gonna ask if others are having issues with the update...looks like I don't need to ask lol

[sacred pewter]

Nop 😂

[lunar mountain]

what going on with this update have WC f uped again???

[gentle niche]

indeed they have, fix should be within an hour, posted at 18:45 -__-

[lunar mountain]

lol

that be delayed lol

[gentle niche]

all the content and dll files are missing from the server directories, imagine not testing a huge update before rolling out

literal clowns

[lunar mountain]

WTF lol. that like makeing a mod and uploading a empty folder lol

[fallen pike]

Mine too...

[sinful island]

all content folders are gone, they were about 160gigs each. I have 5 servers running...I'm freaking out

[supple wyvern]

Yep WCf-ed up, half the servers cant restart properly

they are trying to fix it

[sweet rapids]

" trying " being the key word 🤣

[lunar mountain]

every update theres something lol. when will they learn

[fallen pike]

the question is not what they fixed, but what they broken each update

Servers are updating now

Restart your servers ^^

[gentle niche]

just ran an update, still fucked

[fallen pike]

no problem, they're starting on their own anyway

[devout rampart]

https: //steamdb.info/ patchnotes/16428179 /

[devout rampart]

this patch there's nothing 🤣

[lunar mountain]

hahahah lol

[topaz fractal]

Every time they update, an old bug will come back again, and new one are ready to show up... maybe they catched some phrase of Beckett and made it their leitmotiv

[lunar mountain]

empty update lol

[iron bronze]

Well, mine are still updating so...

[lavish solar]

Mine are updating as a new install.. this may take a while..

[gentle niche]

Im not doing anything until they announce it, better safe than sorry

i'll stay on old version for now XD

[iron bronze]

My island server started fine...now updating my other servers

[gentle niche]

probs coz the original update removed all the files lmao

[lavish solar]

This is why one has test maps lol
Im doing the update now on my test map to make sure that everything works as well as plugins

[devout rampart]

new build out, they re-added the game

[gentle niche]

re-added the game XD

[lavish solar]

Test map had not done that update yet so it had not messed the files up.

I think the fix they were trying is.. Mimic all as new files and force redownload all files..

[tepid berry]

I fixed my issue before they rolled out their fix, so I don't think I need to update

[fallen pike]

Mine is still in restarting from the release of the patch...

[iron bronze]

Try and restart it because it's likely just failed

[fallen pike]

Don't be worried, they're restarting alone...

[iron bronze]

We all restart alone eventually

[small hazel]

Latest update fixed the issue. Servers up and running again.

[celest halo]

Latest adds all the file back the one before it deleted 🤣

They didn't learn anything from there little test deployment patch yesterday

[gentle niche]

Genuinely don't understand how things like that can happen, imagine being so bad at your job 🤡

[novel fiber]

I Cant Join any Server there is a Error : You Got a other Version as the Server needs

[wind bluff]

great, server is stuck in updating, love to see it

[celest halo]

If you did the first update today, then the 2nd one going to take some time it be around 17GB download to replace all the files the first one deleted

[wind bluff]

Okay, lets hope thats the case.

[arctic sage]

from nitrado discord 5 mins ago, do a restart to get the update going

[wind bluff]

So it is still updating, is it really taking that long or do i have to restart it once more?

[haughty ether]

no wait...mine have taken ages but they do get there eventually

[keen bramble]

Is it possible to upload mods to ASE? I uploaded several mods to the server and an error pops up to check whether the mod version is up to date. Is there a way to enable support for mods that worked before ASE was released?

[glass radish]

Can someone remind me how to have the ark updates / info ayutomatically posted to my discord?

[ebon sundial]

My server keeps restarting. Any tips? (Nitrado)

[marsh elm]

Mine too

[haughty ether]

I have 4 started no issues but my Island and Center will not reboot

[distant hearth]

standard nitrado server behaviour after updates, you all know the crack by now. Just gotta wait it out till the server finnally manages to sort its shit out

i never can understand why it causes them so much trouble

[haughty ether]

ok all but 1 are back up for me now...they just take 84 years to process this update...

[heavy bough]

Still 1 out of my 5 servers stuck in updating...

[jaunty vortex]

Subscribe to the channels. You’ll need channels in your discord for them to feed into.

Go into #patch-notes and #announcements and click the follow button and then tell it which channel on your discord to use. I’d suggest making two channel names the same or similar.

[static onyx]

Sooo overcrowding of dinos on aberration. is there any way I can reduce the amount of dino spawns? they're all in giant clumps

[untold relic]

does anyone know what the cause might be for server no longer appearing on lists after changing maps

[pseudo sinew]

Hi, does anyone run the Mythical Costumes mod on their servers? I have made it to unlock at level 1 and cost 0 engrams, but the engrams won't unlock. Has anyone come across this issue and managed to fix it?

[frail heron]

I need some help with a dedicated Windows Server. I want to start a batch file every 15 minutes, to check if all the maps are running and to start them if not. The batch file works fine, but I can't get it to run automatically. I added it to the Windows Scheduler and it works all fine, until the host updates Windows and restart the server. I have tried to add it to the Scheduler normally, and I also have now added it to run when nobody is logged in (checked that it saves the admin password when running) but it won't run. Is there something I may be missing?

[jovial walrus]

We need help to decay on pve

[olive talon]

Use both pvp and pve decay timers, it should fix it

[jovial walrus]

Okey we will try

We had it working but suddenly it stopped working

[rough brook]

Is there a way to remove the stats cap on private servers?

[olive talon]

Everything has a base cap that you can't go past due to the game's code, armor, saddles, dino stats, etc

By default, unofficials already go higher than officials

[rough brook]

Ah, okay, thanks 😊
that mean the max stat limit of 255 can't be changed even on an unofficial server?

[olive talon]

Correct

[rough brook]

I was told that I can disable this on private servers... (though it would be new to me if that's actually possible 😅 )
Okay, got it, thank you very much 🌻

[olive talon]

The 255 can't be changed, that's just how Ark has always been. Even with higher level tames, stats eventually start rolling over to go back below 255

[rough brook]

Yes, that's exactly how I know it too 😊
But I wanted to ask just to be sure^^

[olive talon]

No worries

[ebon sundial]

My server keeps crashing every 20 min.
I dont know why and its resetting to the same point. Any ideas?

[paper quartz]

Hello does anyone know how can i play with a friend when i have a epic account and he has a steam account?

except joining a public server

[unreal hemlock]

hi guys, is there a way to change tame limit in single player? i play on geforce now

[uncut raptor]

The game keep crashing in the center by the blue terminal .

[velvet forge]

If I want auto unlock engrams via ini vs a mod, can I still make it so boss related engrams are unlocked only after defeating said bosses?

Was using ez's engram unlocker, but rather not use a mod if I dont have to.

[latent quartz]

Hey guys sorry for the noob question but on my nitrado server I have creative mode accessible but I don’t know how to spawn Dino’s… so what would be the spawn command for a level 100 Rex? I’ve entered my server admin password also. Ty in advance! 👊

[olive talon]

Wild-
cheat SDF Rex_Character_BP false 100

Tamed-
cheat SDF Rex_Character_BP true 100

You may need to add a 0 after, like
cheat SDF Rex_Character_BP false 100 0

[latent quartz]

Ty gonna try this now

Wow game changer…. Last question and I’m gonna be tickled to death…. So I have the fantasy mod in my server and to access the building sets I need 100,000 engram points to unlock… currently at l100 and nowhere near that amount. Is there a command for unlock all engrams as even admin mode I cannot build it. Ty in advance

[olive talon]

You can do cheat GiveEngrams or cheat GCM (gives creative mode)

[latent quartz]

Even in creative I’m blocked it’s showing on the engram list

Says needs 100k to unlock

[latent quartz]

Will try this Ty

[olive talon]

Creative mode gives you access to all engrams regardless of engram points.

[latent quartz]

Hmm maybe a mod issue…. I’ll see about trying to find their fantasy build mod discord….

Really appreciate the community help getting going!💪🏼

[slow ginkgo]

hey guys, I'm still running fear ascended on a cluster however since yesterday's patch colours are no longer spawning. My .bat hasn't been modified and still contains the text "-mods=877752 -HalloweenColors". Anyone run into anything similar? Dino wipe made no difference

[slow ginkgo]

I also tried -EasterColors with the same result

[frosty plover]

Morning. Since the last patch our chainsaws have stopped harvesting. We've crafted new ones, they also don't harvest, so we installed a mod chainsaw and that was also a bust. Any big brain ideas?

[distant hearth]

known issue , got wait for a patch to fix it

[frail heron]

Can somebody recommend an affordable but reliable hosting company, where we can rent a Windows dedicated server for ARK?

[distant hearth]

ase , asa or your looking to rent a dedicated machine?

[frail heron]

yes, dedicated machine or virtual machine (maybe cheaper), We want to set up ASE. Not tech support required, I can setup all the stuff myself.

[distant hearth]

hetzner are good if your in europe, they do decent deals via server auction, basically renting out older stuff cheap , give them a look an see if anything suits

you can also install your own o/s via there kvm console to keep the costs the down more

[frail heron]

their prices look good, but a windows license cost more per month than the server rent 😦

[distant hearth]

hence installing your own, or with ase you can just use linux if familiar with it ,
can for asa too but more hassle

doesnt matter where you rent from windows server license gonna hurt unless installing you own

how many servers/maps are you looking to run and rough player count?

[frail heron]

do they all rent their servers without win license? I would give Linux a try, but not sure if all the plugins would run there.

[distant hearth]

yea pretty much, most a linux based

[frail heron]

We are looking to run about 6 maps ASE regular and 6 maps with primal fear mods.

[distant hearth]

damm gonna deffo want a dedicated machine , cloud/vm options are gonna start adding up fast with needing that much ram

[fossil gorge]

Does WC deactivate the event colors after an event? They always seem to disappear after an update and trying to activate them again doesn't prompt anything

[tacit wind]

I just got a nitrado server for asa and I have all the settings done I just don't know what to put for the breeding settings, anyone got any ideas

[distant hearth]

what ever you want to suit you an the people that will play on the server,
theres a program/app called beacon omni thats great for setting up breeding settings, im pretty sure the free version lets you adjust each setting an see the effect it has on every dino

[tacit wind]

I used that alr I also wanted to see a 3rd opinion

But I also didn't understand the imprint stuff so those are still default but I'd like to make faster

[distant hearth]

beacon mkes it easy it tells you what each setting does, plus u can see real time what happens for each adjustment. not really sure what else you need

[tacit wind]

Omni had a lot more imprint settings I could change but nitrado only has 3

[distant hearth]

oh i see, you are just using nitrado general settings ?
if so i suggest to watch a few videos about editing the ini files , then you can add what ever you want to it . or use the export button in beacon then copy an paste lines into the ini . or with paid beacon can just link the server to it an deploy straight from there

[tacit wind]

Oh, ok

Thanks

[frail heron]

Can I set the RCON port on command line, or must it be in the INI file? I am starting several maps on one installation just by calling the map with separate IP-Number from command line. I don't want to copy the whole game several times, but when I do that, I have only one RCON port available for all.

[celest halo]

Should be able to set it in the start script

[frail heron]

Another problem: When I travel to Ragnarok, it tells me that I havent't installed the map. My buddy tried the same with same result. We both play Ragnarok regulary, so it must be something missing with the server setting.

[frail heron]

btw: it's Ragnarok with primal fear, maybe that's the problem. I cannot login to Rag with primal fear at all, I always end up with the steam installation page.

[fluid sigil]

Is it possible to play ASE in splitscreen without the second Player having to be near the first player?

[bleak ivy]

the tether can only be extended if you are on steam/epic.
better consoles should have more tether tho, at least on xbox.

[fluid sigil]

We want to play on the PS5. Do you know if it works there as well?

[bleak ivy]

I would assume its also extended there but no idea.

I think the ps5 enhanced version was disabled for some reason. while the series X version wasn't.
no idea if that included the tether or if the enhancements came back afterwards.

[timid venture]

how can i add my graphics card in ark?

[dim fractal]

guys i need help on ASA, i use -preventhibernation combine with der dino finder/simple finder but it didn't work. i excepted dino will spawn all over the map but it still just show dino around me on finder

[distant hearth]

if your in a single player game, you will need to render in the areas before they start to spawn properly

[obtuse falcon]

How to change so we can have more then 3 generators in range

[bleak ivy]

what does this mean?

[slow ginkgo]

this; I seem to be having issues running any colour arguments since the last Major Update 2 days ago

[raw glade]

@tawdry bridge

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

[fossil gorge]

Exact same timing, you make me feel less insane

[slow ginkgo]

lol same ty

ive tested multiple color arguments and even tried to override the chance of spawning; no dice

[radiant oracle]

Can anyone tell me how to make it so players on my dedicated server have infinite weight? Or something pretty much infinite

[haughty badger]

also running into this when accessing my inventory on club ark or when accessing any obelisk on other maps that it will bring up a black box that says "Refreshing ARK Inventory" and it wont go away

anyone know a fix for this? Is it a corrupt cluster file?

[haughty badger]

removed the cluster file from cluster storage for my player ID and this seems to have fixed it

[hollow heron]

Could use some help. My cryo sickness timer shows up 300 then disappears instantly. When I throw cryos back to back it says there cryosick but there not they dnt come out knocked out.

This is happening on 3 of my servers. Idk whts going on. Could this be a mod messing with it

[wise kindle]

The issue is they are cryosick? Or that you get a false timer warning?

Cuz when its laggy I get the false warning. I just ignore it. It does nothing.

Unless you are pvp and you WANT cryosickness and arent getting it?

[hollow heron]

Yup I'm on pvp

Need it otherwise I could throw a army out

[wise kindle]

Theres like 5 cryo settings. What do you have set?

[hollow heron]

Cryo nerf enabled
Cryo nerf duration 300.0
Cryo nerf damage 0.01
Cryo nerf received damage 0.01

[wise kindle]

EnableCryoSicknessPVE=true
Try that

If you are using a modded cryopod, definitely follow up on that as there is likely a mod specific setting that needs to be applied.

[hollow heron]

Tried tht too its still the same. like it wants too work but doesn't. It's happening to both regular and modded cryos.

[wise kindle]

Where do you have these in the ini?

Should be direct under [ServerSettings] in GameuserSettings.ini

Not under any other headers.

[hollow heron]

Yup in user settings

[wise kindle]

Directly under that header?
No other headers?

Also be sure you are fully shutting down when you are making changes or they wont apply.

[hollow heron]

Ok let me check

Yup its under server settings

[wise kindle]

Pvp is enabled?

[hollow heron]

Yes

[wise kindle]

If so you need to remove mods and check whats messing it up.

[hollow heron]

It's weird

Ok ill try tht next. Thnk u for your help.

[slate bridge]

Anyone crashing as soon as they load into a map?

[muted robin]

Anyone know why no rising horde server

[timid venture]

the rtx settings in ark theres graphics but no rtx

[arctic sage]

but there is no rtx settings in the game is there

[humble thicket]

anybody knows why nitrado servers show up under unofficial and other unofficial servers show up only when "show player servers" is checked?

[arctic sage]

those are probably self hosted player servers and not on the unofficial network by default

[distant hearth]

correct , show player servers is for non nitrado servers

[humble thicket]

so, how can i be in this unofficial network while hosting my own server?

[slow ginkgo]

i don't think that's a thing. 'show player servers' I'd imagine translates to 'show unofficial servers not hosted by nitrado' or 'show steam created servers' etc.

[arctic sage]

hosting your own server should put you in the "show player servers" network

[delicate stream]

Is there a specific line to write the custom drop codes? Or i can put it anywhere?

[distant hearth]

game.ini
under header that all ready there ,
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

[deep kiln]

Anyone know how i can change my port? Like switch from game port to query port

[distant hearth]

ark ascended or evolved?

[deep kiln]

Evolved

[distant hearth]

evolved use query port for steam server page listing an the game port for players to connect

[deep kiln]

Can i dm u?

[distant hearth]

both need to be set to see the server in the listings and it be joinable

no need , just ask here

[deep kiln]

I was going to send ss but ok

[deep kiln]

I cant see it in the listing and i cant join

[distant hearth]

gives some sort of error or?

[deep kiln]

Yeah

It says failure unable to connect to server app id specified by server invalid

When i click connect to server directly from nitrado

[distant hearth]

search for server name in the game listing an join that way

[deep kiln]

I cant

[deep kiln]

I cant find it there like i said here

[distant hearth]

search for the server on battlemetrics website, it will tell you what ip adress and port the server is running on

[deep kiln]

Where can i see the ip?

[distant hearth]

on the website i just mentioned

[deep kiln]

Yeah i found my server there so i just click on it?

[distant hearth]

that shud work

if its running correctly an ports open etc

[deep kiln]

Yeah i can see my gamr and port ip what now?

[distant hearth]

you can join it from there or add it to steam favourites

[deep kiln]

How about my friends?

[distant hearth]

just give them the ip adress and port from battle metrics site for the server so they can add it to favourites in steam too

[deep kiln]

So we will never be able to find it normally?

[distant hearth]

They shud show in the listings when working correctly an ports are forwarded correctly

make sure all your filters are set to all when searching for it in game

[deep kiln]

Just for us? Or everyone else too?

So everyone else will have to use battlemetrics to join?

[distant hearth]

if its listed in game it will show for anyone that looks for it or finds

[deep kiln]

Ok ty

[deep kiln]

When i try to join on battlemetrics i see old version of my server

I downgraded it a little bit it was on 100 players and 365 days i made it 10 players and 90 days

Now i see the old version and old port and i still cant find the server in normal servers list

[distant hearth]

sounds like ure using a host provider? if so it will be down to them to sort it out , nothing u can do

[wise kindle]

WC bug. We all have this.

[rapid star]

Lol danm

Well I asked

[deep kiln]

Im using nitrado

[wise kindle]

The new 10 slot would be what you use and the ip and port may have changed.
The old 100 slot is a shadow entry that should disappear after a bit.

[brittle creek]

Siguen los mismos problemas con los mods, y poco amigable el sistema.

[frank spear]

hi i have a quations ?could someone help me when i try to join my own serverit crashes but yesterday it still worked. i have apicture to but cant post it could someone help me?

[serene iron]

Does the unofficial server automatically saves when closing it?

[celest halo]

that depends on if your shutting it down correctly or just closing it

[deep kiln]

It reloaded i was able to join for a while and i left and now i cant find it again

Why is ark such a terrible game man

Not being able to play in a server u paid a ton of money for is so trash

And i still cant find it in normal servers list….

[ebon venture]

Just a quick question, are there any edits to the .ini I can make to allow the Clockface to work all the time?

[timber wraith]

Any way to make it so players don't loose their inventory folders upon death/transfer?

[somber turret]

Does anyone have any idea why our breeding settings arent working? This is what our game.ini looks like.

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=125
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.0232
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultipler=10
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0.015
HatchSpeedMultiplier=500
MatingInterval=0.001
FoodConsumption=0.25
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=4
MatingSpeedMultiplier=2
bDisableFriendlyFire=true
bAutoPvETimer=true

It seems like our settings are defaulting to single player settings or the default server settings. The disable friendly fire and pve timer both work, its just the breeding settings. They're running the server on a linux machine and just out of a shell file, no server manager. We're kinda stumped, any advice welcome.

[distant hearth]

foodconsumption=0.25 shud be ,
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=0.25

stop the server, make the changes, save it. restart server , in game you will have to test with new babies or fresh laid eggs, any old things already in the world will not take the new settings !!

[somber turret]

Will have them try this in the morning, thank you!

[rough brook]

Is it possible to forbid a specific species from being downloaded? For example, if I don't want players to bring a Carcharodontosaurus onto a map?

[cedar ginkgo]

is there a way to change the tribe tame limit? it is set to 250 but i want to lower this

[distant hearth]

game ini of the map you want it blocked on ,
PreventTransferForClassNames="Carcha_Character_BP_C"
if you use modded cryos they may ignore this etting, thenu have to do it through the mods own ini

[rough brook]

ahh nice thank you 😊 🌻

[distant hearth]

gus ini under
[serversettings] look for this line
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=250
this determines tribe tame limit, most settings can be found here for future reference,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[cedar ginkgo]

thank you so much for the fast reply 🙂

[broken halo]

Look at the man willz going to town this early on a sat morning have you started playing yet? Lol at least tell me your watching sat morning cartoon s with a bowl of cereal 🤣

[distant hearth]

its 2.50pm here lolz , playing a bit of nightingale atm

[broken halo]

Ooh UK then? That explains alot

Got a couple in my main group 🤪

[broken wedge]

How do you add the hit numbers on single-player

[bleak ivy]

ASE or ASA?

[humble thicket]

you should find something like Show floating damage text in the settings. turn it on

[serene iron]

What port do I need to open for ASA unofficial server?

[celest halo]

7777 or the one you told it to use in your start script

[pure ingot]

So I can find my new server when the map is the island. As soon as I choose Althemia, my server disappears. I haven't had a nitrado server in a few years, I'm rusty. Help!

[olive talon]

Did you change the custom map name as well?

[pure ingot]

Yes. Custom selected. Althemia filled in below.

[olive talon]

Ingame did you switch maps to "all"? Sometimes selecting a specific map borks it. And type in the name and then hit refresh an extra time. My servers won't show up at all if I just type the name, I have to physically hit refresh a couple times.

[pure ingot]

I'll keep trying. I have no password currently, do you recommend I use one, or no?

[distant hearth]

stop the server , wait 5 mins, add the map mod, set custom , then then the custom map nape likely needs be .
Althemia_WP

[pure ingot]

Ooh that might be my mistake. _WP!

[olive talon]

Personally I use passwords, make sure you do have the correct custom name like W1ll said though, as that will definitely break it.

[distant hearth]

im not familiar with asa on nitrado, but thats how id expect it wud want it named

[olive talon]

Yes it has to be named correctly in the custom bar in order for it to show

[pure ingot]

Got the name from chaos but failed on the copy/paste 🤣

[distant hearth]

easily done

[wise kindle]

Also be sure its the first mod in the list or it will not work.

[pure ingot]

I didn't install any mods yet. So I have to install the Althemia mod on the server? Relatively new to mods (2months)

[wise kindle]

its a map mod, so yes

Or assume it is anyway.

I dont run that map.

Also if you didnt have it installed, you may need to restart twice.

Once after you have added mod, to let the game load it into the game. Then wait 5 minutes and then shutdown fully, then wait 5 minutes, then start it up again.

After the 2nd start up it should show up. It wont be a fast start up, so be patient.

How to play instinction

I mean extiction

Ark Extinction

[distant hearth]

if you mean for ark ascended , its not out yet , eta 16th dec

[somber turret]

Hey, this didn't seem to work for us, also I feel like I should mention we are on ASE and not ASA if that changes anything. Any other ideas?

[distant hearth]

baby settins are the same for asa and ase , what is the exact issue ?

[somber turret]

None of the breeding, egg, or baby settings seem to be getting used, it looks like its just using single player settings. Looking at it now I think they had the naming of some settings wrong, I had them change them and we're testing again.

[distant hearth]

beacon ark omni app/program helps a lot with baby settings , the free version can do that part

[quiet trellis]

Hey guys, so with the Halloween mod, can we disable it or do we have to keep them in the passive mods to keep the items from the event?

[somber turret]

I'll look into beacon, thank you for all your help, that seemed to be the issue. Sorry for the additonal bother.

[distant hearth]

can remove it, the items are in base game

[quiet trellis]

I figured just like the xmas one, awesome. Thank you

bout best you can do, been like it since the start an devs still not fixed it

[native wave]

and I still haven't had it happen on mine...I believe it's a server load issue

[distant hearth]

yea its 100% an issue on busier servers, my own test ones its not been an issue, a server with 10 other players i mess about on , its an issue

[native wave]

most I've had is 3 others on my island map, but they also stopped playing before scorched earth came out

[distant hearth]

its been an issue since game released , they did eventually sort it in ase, in ascended they havent figured it out yet i guess, or dont care , unsure which...
officials dont seem to get it, but lilpanda told me officials use a quite differnet version

[astral badge]

Anyone know how to fix the flashing “ Refreshing Ark Inventory” bug I tried everything a new character,deleted all my mods and etc, I had transferred to SE when it started it’s causing my game to crash anytime I want to do something

[serene iron]

Could anyone tell me how to disable friendly fire on my server

[distant hearth]

game.ini
bDisableFriendlyFire=true
or
bPveDisableFriendlyFire=true
depending on pve or not

[serene iron]

So if I’m on pve do I put them both?

[distant hearth]

bPveDisableFriendlyFire=true

[serene iron]

Ok ty

[latent quartz]

So I have a server on nitrado. How can I add a second map to my current setup? Do I just pay another script? and is there a way to link them I heard so we can travel with Dino’s and gear.

Sorry for the triple question hahaha

[olive talon]

You have to rent a second server for a second map. You can then enable CrossArk and add a clusterID to cluster the two servers together.

You can technically upload everything on the first server, and then switch maps on that server, but it is not recommended as you're likely to just lose everything.

[cosmic stone]

using bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=true I cannot get clay to show with
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Clay_C",EngramHidden=False,EngramPointsCost=3,EngramLevelRequirement=6,RemoveEngramPreReq=True)

Does anyone know why?

[latent quartz]

Ah ok so when you link the two it’s best to wipe and start all fresh

Ty 🐝

[olive talon]

You don't have to wipe the servers to link them.

[latent quartz]

Oh I get it but cross server switching should be done with no inventory

[olive talon]

No. I said if you're only going to use 1 single server to switch to another map, you have a possibility of losing items/characters.

[latent quartz]

Gotcha

Learning curves hahaha

Loving this game and the community has helped me exponentially! Ty all!

[latent lynx]

So i just got a nitrado server and it's not showing up, what do I do?

[distant hearth]

wait, they can take upto 30 mins to fully install an show up in game, then when searching for have your filters set to all

by default they are pvp if u dont change the settings after install

[devout quiver]

how to turn off fear ascended event? i dont want to lose any items

[olive talon]

Just remove the mod. Items/tames will stay.

[devout quiver]

can i do the same thing w the summer bash mod?

[olive talon]

Absolutely

[devout quiver]

did ark conifrm this? sorry i just would hate to lose anything haha

[olive talon]

All of the event mods currently can be safely removed without losing items/tames.

[olive talon]

Yes, as Svala says in the screenshot in the pinned messages...plus the 100s of users and server owners that have checked and double checked.

[devout quiver]

i dont see it but ima trust ur word 🥹

[humble thicket]

we deleted the event mods and didnt lose anything. skins still work.

[olive talon]

Annoying brain moment, I removed the pin a week ago. Here. Also, my word and the 100s of users that have safely removed it, as I said before...

[devout quiver]

thank u sm ❤️ appreciate all ur help

[latent lynx]

So i set my baby mature to 50 and it's still slow, does it need to be super high for servers?

[distant hearth]

depends on the baby, 50 is quite high

[latent lynx]

I looked it up and it says that nirtados settings are wack lol

[distant hearth]

i have no idea what that means, all server settings are the same

[latent lynx]

Alot of people on reddit are saying that they are having the same problem as me so

[distant hearth]

i see, alot people dunno what the fuck there doing to be honest, half them prob have dynamic config enabled

[serene iron]

How do I enable the console in the ini files (or by launch options)?

[distant hearth]

it shud just be enabled, just press the right button to open it, if you mean the in game command console

[serene iron]

It says it is disabled it the right section when you hit escape.

[distant hearth]

if its ark evolved you might need ,
bShowCreativeMode=true in game.ini

[autumn berry]

Hey, just wondering on how to add spawns for pyromanes on the island in nitardos ini files?

[distant hearth]

its a bit of a pain in the arse tbh , you can read through here ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
(search for spawn) to get the specific parts
theres various ways to do it ,
or you can use an app/program ark beacon omni, which makes it a bit easier, still a pain though an creature spawns is only availible in the paid version, worth it though imho

[autumn berry]

Thank you! i can already tell this has alot more indepth explanation then the research i was doing before, P.S reddit sucks sometimes lmao

[distant hearth]

that site i linked has all the info , its just a nightmare to do(p.s i hate altering dino spawns), i once had like 2k snow owls spawning in ragnarock death snow biome lolz

[autumn berry]

lmao thats fair, normally anything with ini files its pain, but i love shadowmanes and want to start my friends off on the island so i bought the pryo pack then realized they dont naturally spawn here LMAO but again thank you, I hope you have a good day!!

[stable ledge]

Any idea why people wouldn’t be able to invite others to their tribe in my server? There’s no invite option now after running this cluster for 8 months with no changes to a setting that would do that.

[shadow bear]

Anybody know if the Official Small Tribes settings are posted anywhere? I keep finding conflicting settings.

nvm, I'm dumb

[velvet forge]

if I have my oxygen/food/stamina/water set to 2.5 this means that those stats will depleate 2.5x FASTER than vanilla right? If I want them to be slower drain I would set them to be like 0.5x?

I know nitrado has incorrect verbiage on some things in their ini settings on their site so just want to be certain I'm setting things up correctly.

[serene iron]

Where so I put my game.ini file in the server files?

[rich cobalt]

Hi everyone. Random question. I use nitrado and beacon and play on console. My server difficulty is set to 500. Is there a way to increase blueprints I get? My largest is capping little over 700%, but not strong enough for some of these extremely high lv Dino’s.

[peak sapphire]

Items are hard capped so you’re unfortunately out of luck

[rustic garnet]

I put enablecheats and the password on my server but it doesn't work, has it stopped working, how can I fix it?

[kind moon]

If it has randomly stopped it very possible that wildcard seen it as profanity it happened to me even tho it was %100 not profanity I just had to change it and it started working

[rustic garnet]

When I throw an object on the ground it doesn't allow me to pick it up with the triangle, I'm on PS5, what can I do?

[latent lynx]

Could anyone help out, I'm changing settings on my nitrado server and everything works fine except the baby mature speed, I set it to 8 and it's still slow, then to 50,100 ect all are insanely slow

[zinc bloom]

I had the same problem and i just enabled single player settings

[latent lynx]

How do you do that?

[zinc bloom]

On nitrado

Theres a

Um

At the ini files

[latent lynx]

It's a check box?

[zinc bloom]

Nu uh

[latent lynx]

Oh the ini files, ok can you kinda talk me through that I'm new at this

[zinc bloom]

At configuration profiles

Under settings

[latent lynx]

Got ya

[zinc bloom]

Config files******

[latent lynx]

Yup

And the line I'm changing?

[zinc bloom]

Should be around

Lemme dm you

[last magnet]

On baby mature rates you need it to be like .1 for super fast mature rates

Smaller number =fast on mature rates & egg laying

[robust nymph]

Has anyone had issues with series s players dashboarding the moment the join ab and centre on a modded server? The can play island and scorched jsut fine with all the same mods.

We're trying to figure out if its a mod issue or if ab and centre are unplayable for series s if modded

[rocky dust]

Anyone had any issues with players crashing when trying to access an ob to transfer servers?
Game freezes up and crashes or has to be force closed and player gets booted right after relogging and can't stay logged in for more than a minute or two

ASA modded cluster cross platform (player in question is pc/steam)

We've tried -
Death, suicide, admin death, fast travel, relogging, create a new toon, use a different pc, validate files, reinstall game, verify mods updated, verify drivers on pc updated, delete save data, delete player data from server.... and still the problem persists.

[haughty cairn]

is it safe to remove fear ascnded, or will tamed dodo/wyvs get removed?

[peak sapphire]

Yes, game files already added

[haughty cairn]

awesome, thanks

[jagged garnet]

Simple questions. Can console players see chat and or server broadcasts? Or is 99% of players chat mutes?
Second question anyone else get frequent new players join then leave less than 1 min later? Why is this? Are they disconnecting themselves and it's just a thing people do?

[distant hearth]

did iyou try delete there data from the cluster folder?

[rocky dust]

We did. Still having the issue

[distant hearth]

damm , i have no clue then , always happen on every map , or one particiular one? and to clarify its just the one player with the issue , everyone else is fine?

[rocky dust]

All maps, just the one on my cluster so far but I've seen others report it on other servers

[distant hearth]

can that particular player join another cluster and test? to help narrow down if its an issue on your servers or just that players game

[rocky dust]

I'll ask him to try it. It'll be a little bit before he's back online

[distant hearth]

i wondering if he just has a bad connection is all, or summit like that ...

[rocky dust]

I wouldn't think it would be a connection issue. He's been playing with me for a while and this just started about 2 days ago.
He even tried logging in from a different pc at a different house and still had the issue

[distant hearth]

hmm weird, will have to see how he gets on with a different cluster , then go from there

[dense badger]

Is there a way to set bps to be caped like official?

[distant hearth]

yep,
gameusersetting.ini
[serversettings]
ClampItemStats=True

game.ini
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
ItemStatClamps[1]=19800
ItemStatClamps[3]=19800

[dense badger]

Thank you

[rustic garnet]

Can something be added to the game.ini with Steam codes for me and my friends so I don't have to enter the password constantly when I want to enter my server?

[distant hearth]

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

[rustic garnet]

Can I put the ID of both PlayStation and PC (Steam)?

[distant hearth]

your on asa ? if so it just eod ids

the link i gave explains it all

[lapis quest]

Anyone that hosts on nitrado with problems on map transfers (dc's/dupes)?

[rocky dust]

He didn't have an issue when joining a different modded cluster. He was able to run around and transfer between maps.

[rocky dust]

Yes

[lapis quest]

Everyone is dc'ing over there?

[distant hearth]

wait, your on nitrado servers? how did you delete the data from the cluster file directory?

[rocky dust]

With ftp access

[rocky dust]

Not everyone, but several are and getting dupes

[distant hearth]

you dont have acess to that folder on nitrado .... afaik , you either have to get there support to delete that ome eos id from it, or change the cluster id( be warned doing so will delete everyones data that is left upload across the whole cluster/serverss )

[lapis quest]

Yeah, just saw someone getting duped, but they dc as soon as they log on the map

[olive talon]

You can use ftp access on nitrado, I've never done it before though

[distant hearth]

yea just to acces the server files, the cluster directory they dont give access to afaik as its stored seperate to the server

[rocky dust]

Hmmm

[olive talon]

Ohhhh that's what you meant

[rocky dust]

I can shut all the servers down and generate a new cluster id. That's not a big deal.
I went server by server and deleted his player data files from each one

[olive talon]

We've gotten "duped" tek suits, but as soon as you unequip/re-equip it, it goes back to just 1 suit

[distant hearth]

i dont even know if the customer support wud be willing to do it, but if you push them , give them the cluster id and the eos id of the player with the issue, they might...
changing cluster id is a pain as you need all players on the cluster to remove anything in upload before u change

[olive talon]

You can change the cluster ID on your own, unless there's like another one I'm not aware of

[distant hearth]

yea u can but doing so creates an entirely new directory an deletes all the data that is stored in it

[rocky dust]

Most of my players just transfer with stuff in their inventory so it shouldn't be a big deal to swap that around

[olive talon]

So do we tbh, we use 1 server as a home map and have a rotational server we use to do other map bosses, so we never really have to fully upload anything

[distant hearth]

id be suprised if that doesnt fix it, asa corrupts files for fun . Self host we create that folder so have access to it an can delete just the one affected eos id.
we can also use a more stable save format that seems to eliminate alot of the vanishing .arkprofile issues

[rocky dust]

Got cha. Well I'll give that a try when I get home and see if it works. I'll post an update here after

[lapis quest]

Nitrado still uses the old save thing for profiles?

[distant hearth]

they use the default method, not the -usestore method

[untold granite]

so quick question... i want to take advantage of the 10 % off sale to buy another server for ASA on nitrado through the nitrado app. as long as i use my log in for the website it will be the same account and it is cross platform (we all play through steam). it wouldn't be xbox only or something right?

[distant hearth]

asa is full crossplay om dedicated servers so it wudnt be an issue

[untold granite]

ah thank you. i figured as much just wanted to be sure thanks for answering me so quick

[robust nymph]

Yeap dupes some things randomly on every transfer.
Wildcard have got to know about it at this point cos it's been happening for weeks but I don't think they know how to fix it. Started when they changed the inventory layouts.

[robust nymph]

We can see chat and broadcasts.
Secondly, people join, thrown few points into stats and then leave if not happy.

[robust nymph]

We do. Mine is written above yours, but series s players.
They can't go to ab or centre but can on other clusters apparently.
The moment their character loads into centre or ab, they're gone and they can't get back in to get their characters out. So they've had to get people they trust on different platforms to log into their accounts to go rescue them.

[jagged garnet]

That makes sense thank you

[rocky dust]

Ours isn't series s players. The one having the most difficulty at the moment is pc steam

[robust nymph]

Yeah i was just saying we having similar issues though

[halcyon topaz]

Okay hopefully someone can help me. In single player I can literally zoom across the map with no issues but in my unofficial server I can’t even sprint on a mount without getting serious frame drops and freezing. I’m on ps5 but the other ps5 players arnt having this issue

[robust nymph]

Single player doesn't have ping or connection issues so will run smoothly as.
Multiplayer does. What's the ping?

[robust nymph]

@halcyon topaz

[halcyon topaz]

70

[silent yoke]

is there anyway to add mettal ingot multiplaier? Or stone multiplaier?

[peak sapphire]

Not sure about ingot multiplier without using a mod - I have a tek forge that has a 1:1 ratio smelting metal to ingots. As for stone, there’s an game.ini line that can increase the harvest resource multiplier for individual resources on top of the general harvest rate. Stone example: HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers =(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",Multiplier=2.0)

[silent yoke]

Oh great

[bleak ivy]

just do the same to metal (raw)

[silent yoke]

Btw is there a way to increase taming speed?

I don’t want to spend almost 30m waiting for a Dino

[bleak ivy]

TamingSpeedMultiplier=number https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=179.0-,TamingSpeedMultiplier,-Default value%3A

[silent yoke]

I think there is one game.ini line

Yes it was

Tysm

[bleak ivy]

that one should be gameusersettings

[silent yoke]

Yep

[peak sapphire]

Try beacon app for setup ease

[broken halo]

I'm assuming ur not self hosting right? I may be able to help if I had more info feel free to DM me

[halcyon topaz]

No nitrado

[kind moon]

What are other methods of receiving donations without using PayPal
Soz if this is wrong chat for this

[haughty cairn]

a lot of people use game server app (GSA), does everything for you

[broken halo]

Figured. It really depends on ur internet and a few other factors but honestly it's mostly nitrado lots of people have connection issues with them hence all the nicknames

[halcyon topaz]

It’s dumb cause I have really good internet I don’t lag or anything on other games. The servers location is closer to me than the rest but I’m the one getting issues and they arnt it makes no sense

[broken halo]

Have you tried other servers to compare? It may be just random issue with provider but 70 ping isn't horrible I've seen others talk about 300or more

Could even be as strange as a corrupted save file

[silent yoke]

you

how was iitt?

[buoyant sphinx]

Hey, everybody. We have added Meideval mode to the server. The server has been running fine for 2 days, but today for the second time the server crashed. For the first time we had to do a rollback to get the server to start. Now the server crashed for the second time. Do you know what it could be? There is only this mode and admin panel mode on the server.

[ember basin]

Hello everyone,
I have a problem while trying to setup server for a couple of friends. We tried everything from non-dedicated(not enough player slots) to build-in dedicated and standalone dedicated. In both cases with dedicated one while any of my friends try to join the error message flashes for a fracture of a second with message "Ark invalid authentication token". We are trying to set it up using third party software for LAN connection and can ping each other using cmd command. We also tried it with and without mods.

[peak sapphire]

I’d advise joining Blitzfire Games discord and asking for help in there

[buoyant sphinx]

Ok. Thank you. 💜

[peak sapphire]

?

[silent yoke]

what was the line on my game.ini to increase metal raw farm?

[distant hearth]

if you only wanted to boost only the raw metal harvesting it wud be this ,
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Metal_C",Multiplier=1)
1 is default, its a mutiplier so dont crazy or like to crash server
if you want to change the craft cost of metal so that one raw makes one ingot u need this ,
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Metal_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))
i mean hell you cud make ingots cost 1 stone or 1 fiber if u want to play fiber craft

[silent yoke]

Oh, perfect

[silent yoke]

Game.ini or gameuser.ini?

where should i put it both ot them? Game.ini or ggamerussersettings.ini or something like that

[somber turret]

Hey again, a maybe dumb question because I don't know how this mechanic works. Info dump: my group is playing on a private server a friend of ours is running on a spare machine out of just a shell file, no server manager.

We are winding down on our current map and are looking to go into the story maps in order. Would we be able to upload our dinos and survivors, change the map from rag to island in the server settings, and download all of them back again? Again, sorry if this is a dumb question, we're all just unfamiliar with the upload mechanic.

[iron bronze]

Why is club ark still fear ascended? Something I need to do or does the mod need updating? O.o

Also, we are still waiting for the thanksgiving colours, yes?

[olive talon]

Because the turkey event is just colors. Club Ark won't be changed until Christmas, as stated in #announcements.

You can start colors whenever you want.

[distant hearth]

game ini

[silent yoke]

ok perfect

[silent yoke]

I just send you dm

[distant hearth]

why ?

[iron bronze]

Yea, I just thought that the club ark would be set back to normal before then, but I guess not

How do you start the colours then?

I have been watching announcments...

[silent yoke]

to send you a picture

[olive talon]

Afaik it should be last year's line,

ActiveEvent=TurkeyTrials

[quartz flower]

did the cryo update ever come out for unofficial?

[olive talon]

Unofficials have always been able to remove fridge requirements.

[quartz flower]

thought they said it was in certification for it? in one of their crunches

[iron bronze]

Oh...thought it was gonna be something specific...thanks ^^

[olive talon]

Only for console singleplayer.

PC has access to these configs through ini already.

[quartz flower]

oh do you know the ini off top of your head by chance?

[olive talon]

DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=True
DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=True

[quartz flower]

ty

[silent yoke]

It diddnt work

[distant hearth]

do you use a stacking mod ?

[peak sapphire]

I completely forgot about suggesting overriding crafting costs considering I already use it for my own stuff. Good shout

[quartz flower]

would this work for the ppl playing console on the server? do yk?

[olive talon]

It's a server setting, it applies to anyone joining the server.

[quartz flower]

ok ty

[silent yoke]

Is there any way to taming faster?

[olive talon]

TamingSpeedMultiplier

Increase it

[distant hearth]

all server settings can be found here , use ctrl f to search ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
tells you where they go an under what headers

you can also look into ark beacon omni app/programme, the free version does a lot in a easier way , the paid version is amazing for what it lets you do easily

[hasty valley]

seeing reports of thanksgiving colors appearing on official servers without restarts. is there a dynamic url to add to configuration for colors on private servers?

[distant hearth]

nothing confirmed yet, if nitrado they have an events tab, canmaybe activate it there ,
if self host will need to add what ever they decide to use to the start command

[hasty valley]

yeah they didn't post anything in the crunch for the cli command. they've been pretty good about doing that lately.

[distant hearth]

lolz they decided to make it more complicated 🙂 kinda cool though as can set any colours u want
#patch-notes message

[last magnet]

I'm just like, what if I want to run the colors for longer

I might just reenable last year's mod, & play that to get the skins
