[void juniper]

no same mods minus some smaller ones

[ruby flax]

yeah I can confirm better creatures crash my server, my crash log says it's something about the rock drakes

[void juniper]

but need to have all the dino mods on them or people will lose them if they upload them

did he ever reopen his discord?

[ruby flax]

for better creatures?

[void juniper]

yeah

[ruby flax]

not that i know

but he was here in this chat earlier

[reef thistle]

I just tossed it on one of my servers

It's booting now, I'll let ya know if it comes all the way up

[ruby flax]

lol this time my crash log says it's something about the dreadmare in better creatures

[lime matrix]

Far as I know Shin's discord was taken down some time ago. I've seen his handle on the modding discord but that's about it

[void juniper]

i mean, technically removing the mod for now shouldnt make anything vanish

gonna give it a go

[lime matrix]

yeah, it's just a buff system

[ruby flax]

yeah it's just a buff based mod, no remaps

[reef thistle]

yea, server booted

nothing wrong with better creatures

[lime matrix]

was it recently patched?

[reef thistle]

says "1 hour" ago

[lime matrix]

ah

[ruby flax]

so it's better creatures conflicting with something else maybe

[lime matrix]

Changelog:
Added temporary support for Ossidon Breeding.

Was the last update pushed according to the modrinth notifier in my discord

that came through at 9:57pm EST

[reef thistle]

That was quick

I'd add better creatures to my mod pool, but not sure if it'll affect my other creature mods.

[lime matrix]

As stated, it's a buff based mod so anything it does is just a buff to the creatures it's meant for

anything else is outside it's scope

namely mod criters

[reef thistle]

Ah, I see. So for example, of paleo mods change said dinos, better creatures will just ignore the paleo variants

and any vanilla that DO spawn in, WILL be affected by better creatures

[lime matrix]

unless it's a child class of the original

[ruby flax]

not really. if they're child classes it still affects them

[reef thistle]

I see

[void juniper]

yeah i removed better creatures and im up and running now

[reef thistle]

I think I may just add it then for a splash fo something else.

[lime matrix]

the modders will need a dev kit update to deal with the latest changes so might be a minute

maybe

[void juniper]

im not worried honestly. easy remove and add after its fixed

[lime matrix]

yeah, not a deal breaker

just one of those nice qol ones

[reef thistle]

Then it's gotta be a conflict

Cause I was able to boot with it

[ruby flax]

yeah, still sad because the mod is really useful

[void juniper]

im sure itll be fixed in no time

[ruby flax]

probably

[void juniper]

not like its one of the mod devs that take forever or are inactive

[ruby flax]

shin is usually reliable when it comes to fixes

[lime matrix]

that they are

I just wonder why the discord was closed down...maybe got tired of listening to people be their usual toxcicity

[ruby flax]

that'd be my guess too tbh

[reef thistle]

What else ya'll got on your mod lists?

[ruby flax]

a lot lol

[reef thistle]

Between all of us, can probably figure out the confict

Just by seeing what mods we share/don't share

[ruby flax]

mine is 'heavily' modded so we're not gonna get somewhere with my load order

[lime matrix]

same, both mod and plugin heavy

[ruby flax]

if yours if kinda light, you can share what you have and i'll say if i got them too

I have a bunch of other mods on the other servers that booted.

[ruby flax]

this one didn't boot?

[lime matrix]

My list is on google drive so I'd have to go grab it

[reef thistle]

It booted

All my servers booted

[ruby flax]

oh ok

[reef thistle]

all random glitches that occurred initially subsided

[ruby flax]

then i really don't know, i got some of the mods you've listed, but i've also got infinitely more lmao

[lime matrix]

I do share some similarities with that list

[jaunty galleon]

Better Creatures is the cause of the crashes, it seems any mod that changes a creatures attack is causing crashing after the new update.

[lime matrix]

Ah, so wonder what flags they changed this time....

[ruby flax]

yeah, would explain my logs talking about the rock drakes and dreadmares

[reef thistle]

I wouldn't jump the gun. Like I said, my better creatures servers booted

[deft eagle]

someone find engramentry for ossidon saddle ?🤔

[jaunty galleon]

almost every creature in that mod is affected and won't be able to be fixed until the next devkit update

[reef thistle]

Now, there ARE confirmed ingame glitches. But all the servers DO boot.

[lime matrix]

Need the dev kit for that

I was about to say it could be mouse saver, but you have that as well

[reef thistle]

I'm still waiting on steam to update my actual game :/

[lime matrix]

as far as some stacked interaction weirdness

s-dinos just updated too...\

[reef thistle]

Oh, nvm. Maybe it did while I was fudging around with broken servers

[broken halo]

Off topic so did lost colony map go live tonight so we can add it and if so what's the map name I'm assuming lostcolony-wp

[lime matrix]

it did not

[ruby flax]

it's a shame, thank you for coming here to inform us tho, really appreciate it. looking forward to re-add it when fixed

[merry thorn]

how did you get this info? i'm interested in keeping up with updates in one place!

[strong kayak]

Does anyone know if amissa map has Ossidon spawns?
Astraeos does-

[lost raven]

Thanks for this. I've been digging around to find the cause of 7 out of 9 servers failing to boot post update. While one of the servers runs Omega and doesn't have Better Creatures, one of the 8 standard servers does and boots... but it's also my least populated so many there aren't any affected dinos out or something.

[merry thorn]

oh i see, that's the actual name of it. i thought it was a typo, lol

[lime matrix]

i have a modrinth/cf notifier bot on my discord so all of my modlist I have setup to post to a specific channel

[merry thorn]

ok cool. thank you! very helpful!!!

[robust nymph]

Possibly not yet.
He tried added value creatures last week and it didnt go to plan so he had to roll back to previous version. Had said in his discord nothing's happening with amissa till next year cos gotta work on volcano map

[strong kayak]

ohhh ok! thank you! that makes sense

[robust nymph]

His discord pretty awesome. If ya want in a can dm it to you

[strong kayak]

Would you? That would be nice! I can keep updated with it all lol

[robust nymph]

Done

[strong kayak]

Thank you!!! I appreciate it

[severe jewel]

Hi guys ! So I wanted to put mods that don't appear in Nitrado by the ID (The Klinger Additional Skin Cosmetics Rustic Building mod to be more precise) but when I launch the game, it doesn't appear ! Also, the ID disappear in the ID mod list. I saved the changes, reloaded the server but nothing seems to work. I'm on PC on a non cross-play server. Is there a solution to my problem ? Did anybody got that problem ?

[lament dagger]

Is there a way to enable riders weaponry on certain stuff in ASA

[stone gust]

Svartelfheim is a non fly map , what code can we add so people are able to fly there tames

[rapid flax]

It's expected behavior that that specific mod doesn't show up; it's a custom cosmetic, so it's installed client side. All you have to do to use it is apply it to your client. You don't have to apply any custom cosmetics to your server.

[rapid flax]

If you wanted to use something like Klinger Additional Structures, for example, that would have to be added since it adds new structures, but the Additional Skin Cosmetics is 100% client side.

[severe jewel]

I used that as an exemple but any mods that doesn't show in the Nitrado mods list is really difficult to put on my mod list

Wait

I might have understood

[drowsy current]

hello guys, anybody else having a problem with items becoming invisible on creatures, storage containers and when transferring between your inventory to another? Has anybody found out what mod (if it is a mod) thats causing it?

[wise kindle]

He is explaining that custom cosmetics mods dont work this way, so they wont show up.
You literally do not add custom cosmetic mods to your server.
Why would Nitrado allow you to add something that wont work? Answer: they dont.

[fierce timber]

Not sure if this could be the case/cause, but a player on my server who had a similar issue realized that somehow their item filter got set to a specific thing (for them it was structures), therefore not showing the rest of the items at all and stuff appearing to be "invisible" in various inventories. I also remember hearing something about a transfer issue with Cybers stuff if you happen to have that mod, but don't know the specifics.

If not that, then could be any number of structure mods if you have them since WC really screwed something up in the update prior to yesterday. My entire server (outside of me for whatever reason) still can't see any structures (vanilla or modded) unless they're placed down with that player in render radius. Whenever that player leaves render and returns the structures go back to being invisible/inoperable. Never seen this bad of a render/structure replication issue in all my time playing ASE or ASA over the years.

[drowsy current]

hm I just closed my game but Ill check out that item filter tomorrow, thanks!

[knotty cosmos]

making my own single player asa server and was wondering how to set the stat increase per point for crafting higher? Instead of 10 per point spend 100?

is a mod needed for this and if so, whats a good one to do this?

[last magnet]

it's not ten points, it's ten percentage points, so ten levels gets you 200% bonus at 1x multiplier. I find 400% to be great for crafting good stuff

I use Beacon for my ini writing, and I use 1x on crafting.

Beacon's an app not a mod, and some of the editors are free, and others require a license ($20/yr for the entire app)

[gusty rose]

Is anyone having a problem getting on an unofficial server with passwords?

[safe tinsel]

Hi is there a away to stop a certine dino being breed in the propergators

[last magnet]

i know the propagator mods have options to block breeding certain dinos but pretty sure vanilla does not has that option

[untold mason]

Hello /waves.hi - I am trying to make it easier for me to be able to manage my 8 maps on ASA. I have a PC in the other room that runs all 8 maps. each one runs from a directory c:/ark1server.....c:/ark8server so i can keep them straight. easier for me to number them than by names because then i can remember the ports I use for each easier in my head. Ok, so far i have them all running and thats good. they all have the portforwarding working to allow friends to play whcih is also good. I just added the entries in the .ini files to eneable rcon, named a unique port for rcon, and set the rcon buffer to 600. I think that part is correct. Now, I am ready i think to put a server manager on there to allow me to handle things better. What I want to do is, from my laptop while sitting in my easy chair or from anywhere else really like if on vacation, 1) run an update to the server is required, 2) execute a saveworld on the server without needing to log into the game (Steam forces me to update prior to launch so often the game and the server versions are not a perfect match), 3) cleanly shut down a server, 4) cleanly restart a server, 5) have the servers restart if the PC is rebooted (like a windows update gets triggered while I'm away from keyboard on vacation for example). 6) win the lottery!!!! While I totally understand 6 is a massive stretch lol, I think these others should be rather simple to implement if I knew what the heck I was doing lol

Can someone please help me figure out the steps I need to take? I have a brain injury and get confused easy so it might be best if someone could help me maybe pick these off 1 by 1? or maybe not- since i'm not sure what all is needed from this point forward

[gloomy kelp]

Hello , i have 250 gb free in my disk , so i downloaded the game and i ve been playing it for some days... today , i ran steam and it asking me to patch the game .. all good till now , as the patch cost some mb's , but it ask me to have 140 gb free ... why ? why should i have 140 gb free for a few mb of patch ? also , the game already ask 150/160 gb .. if i have to add the patch requirement , i need to have 300 gb free on my disk just for teh game ? its crazy ! Let me know how cna i fix this ? thanks to who will help me

[rugged iron]

Hi everyone, I was searching now for a long time, and I can't figure out, is there a mod who allow me to place notes like the explorers one, but with a text I wrote? I would like to create an event, and trigger some new clue when players walk on thoses notes.

Most of the mods about notes are for unlocking explorer’s notes. But don’t allow us to customize some.

[untold mason]

well, the game is not well designed when it comes to installing patches as it seems. you basically end up pulling down the whole dang thing again and "patch" to them ends up requiring enough free space to do a fresh install with all the mods despite the fact that is not what is happening. I might be off, but i think that is as close to the logic of needing so much darn space as I can understand - makes no sense but when it comes to development of "patching" a game originally designed only for pc and then shoehorned into a mutliplatform environment - things got clunky at best... Should you need that much space? of cousre not. Should WC have designed the game to manage "patches much better? Absolutely. Will this change any time in the near future? Nope, hasn't happened yet so doubt it is even on the radar at this point....

[untold mason]

to my knowledge there is no means of doind this since the explorer notes are bake in as part of the actual game lore in the game

[rugged iron]

alright, so even if I try with the devkit, it won't be possible to create one?

[untold mason]

It can't piggy back off explorer notes and extend them in any way. it would need to be apart from the existing explorer notes

[fierce timber]

Still no fix for structures being invisible on servers for players since their, "replication issues that can cause you to have multiple spawn-in animations when you login to some servers" patch actually made it so my server's players now have replication issues when they didn't prior to that "fix". :(

[verbal vortex]

How do I change the cap on players personal dino amount? Looks like its at 250 by default but tribe dinos is at 5000.

[loud pike]

Is anybody got success creating Ark Server Ascended on Linux or it's impossible ?

[somber arrow]

Anyone been able to increase the tick rate of their server?

[toxic hazel]

Add -ServerTickRate= to you start up commands

[toxic hazel]

I dont on linux but know a few people that have if that helps, so you know you can xD

[loud pike]

I got success creating server... The real problem is to made it detectable in public server lists

[toxic hazel]

Installed certs? usually the most common case

Or whats it called? I can check, people tend to have incorrect filters too

[loud pike]

I firstly tried to create server as container with wine on my Unraid server using container made by ich777
I finaly got a running server unjoinable and unlistable.

So I tried to install it with AMP that I installed on my Unraid server. This one use Proton.
On AMP server installed easily but problem is the same. Unlisted.

For sure I double checked my game filters in server list. (Show player server, map filter, etc)
I don't know anything about certs installation.
The only real success I got is on Windows using Arkasm on my gaming computer. But I really want to host the server on my real server...

[toxic hazel]

If you havent installed certs this is very likely what you need, ark wiki says which you need

[loud pike]

They say for Linux :
The game server requires glibc 2.17. Any modern supported distribution will support glibc 2.17.

[toxic hazel]

Some windows OS come with said certs, I know server22 does not as i run that

If you dont have them they wont get listed

[loud pike]

But Ascended server won't exist in linux to be fair.. currently it could be made with proton or wine. I don't know if theses one come with theses certificates.

[toxic hazel]

To address server visibility and connection issues for an ARK: Survival Ascended dedicated server on Linux, you must ensure the correct Epic Games certificates are installed within the Wine environment used to run the server.

Go check out the ark wiki for the correct certs

They the same ones as windows it seems from what im reading

[loud pike]

I can't confirm if it really true, but according Chat GPT ASA dedicated servers CANNOT be listed under Linux. So if anybody got success with that I would like to know

[celest halo]

Servers on Linux with proton list fine

[toxic hazel]

ChatGPT be wrong about a lot of ark stuff, thats my experience from other peeple always referencing it and turn out to be wrong

Plus the poeple I know have no issues with theirs listing xD

One got back to me saying he ran his through AMP and he needed to sort certs to get them to list so that is more confirmation too lel

[echo stone]

After a recent update, anyone else have issues with overspawning on their center map? We have a penguin problem now

[loud pike]

How did you achieve this ?
How is setuped your server ?

I alway have dubt about what Chat GPT said, it's why I'm here and I'm trying to find help.

[celest halo]

Make unbuntu VM, Installed proton, installed server, have proton start the server, no docker, no manager

[silver thistle]

Looking for recomendations -

is there a mod out there with either rider protection trait - or a potion that gives rider protection ? i just want that i dont want the overhaul mod that gives rider protection i cant remember whicb one was it was though

[crude hawk]

If you’re referring to penguin over spawn on The Center, it’s been a problem for a bit. At least since the beginning of October.

[loud pike]

At least it's give proof on concept that Ark Ascended can work for real on linux. From what you remember, did you have to handle certificates or this kind of thing to bring it working ?

[celest halo]

Nope and been running ASA on Linux for 2 years

[loud pike]

On which OS your VM was hosted ?

[celest halo]

I use proxmox and esxi for hypervisors have ran vms with ASA on both boxes

[loud pike]

ok, thank you for theses infos.

I will maybe try if it could work on ubuntu VM on my UNRAID server.

[rapid flax]

I have a Nitrado server, and every single time I restart, it's starting on a brand new save. I'm able to restore a backup, but it's a huge pain. Has anyone else had this happen before? Once it's booted, it's persistent, but every single restart starts a new save and I can't figure out why. Nitrado is configured to -start with current savegame-

This was happening before the 75.7 patch, as well.

[rapid flax]

Nevermind, figured it out. Turns out "ExtinctionEventTimeInterval" does NOT enable the Extinction meteor showers like I thought it did. Don't be dumb like me, y'all.

[woven harbor]

can any one tell me when its safe to uninstall the fear ascended mod, i dont want to lose my cosmetics.

[last magnet]

Gaia Studios makes a Rider Protection mod. I use it, it's lovely. I play solo so it helps when I want to go explore

[silver thistle]

owwwwww - u got the mod number or name ? ive searched all day and not seen one

[last magnet]

Rider Defence | Gaia Studios > ID=1004637

[silver thistle]

rider deffence .. one word i never typed lol thankyous#uuu

just looked in his discord lol thanks for that!!

[last magnet]

the dev is british so

yeah i use a lot of his mods

[silver thistle]

so am i, im just used to rider protection as we had that trait from a overhaul once

[stone gust]

Can you add a code so flyers can be used in the svartelfheim map?

[near hawk]

Ask in Nekatus' discord

[indigo jungle]

has anyone else here been having issues getting Extinction to launch on the Steam Dedicated Server? Mine seems to just want to crash the second it says "Server Successfully Started" there is no save and I even tried leaving the save created when it crashed in the folder as well as deleting the saves every time I try launching but I get the same results. I've tried with no mods and even cut my command line in the bat to the bare minimum still no luck and only thing I haven't tried at this point is re-installing the server tool 😑 any suggestions? I know sometimes it can take a few attempts to launch but we're talking trying 10+ times almost every day for almost a month for cryin out loud lol

Edit: I sorted this out some how finally, I'm not sure if all of these steps contributed but here is what I did incase it helps others!

1. I removed Extinction from my ASA DLC list and let it uninstall then re-added it and allowed it to re-install!

2. I copied all my bat files, Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini into a New Folder on my desktop and uninstalled the Steam Dedicated Server tool then proceeded to delete all folders/files the uninstall missed but was met with windows declaring that something had the server folder open in another window so I rebooted the PC which allowed me to delete everything else!

3. Re-installed the Steam Dedicated Server tool and moved my bat files from the New Folder into the proper directory as before and re-launched each server one by one from The Island on and voila we back in business! 😁

Now I just have reset my Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini and I'm set! Hope this helps others who may be having the same issues! 🤟

[deep stone]

Can someone running aberration with vanilla spawn counts on ASA give me a sanity check and cheat listdinos and tell me how many /Game/Aberration/Dinos/Nameless/Xenomorph_Character_BP_Male_Surface.Xenomorph_Character_BP_Male_Surface_C in the world right now?

[dawn violet]

yo i was looking for some help trying to setup a server for me and my firends to beat the game and dont really know what server host tot use if anyone could help please dm me i also want clustering for multiple maps

[indigo jungle]

if you're running your own server and just want a "head count" you could use Der Dino FInder mod and if you were looking for a way to lower their spawn cap the Spawn Blocker mod works great just need to dino wipe after setting it to your desired limit!

[loud pike]

If you want to host server on your windows computer, you should loook for Arkasm tool. If you want to host it on linux, you can cry like me.

[deep stone]

Thanks for the tips, listdinos just a quick vanilla way to copy all spawns to clipboard

[dawn violet]

@loud pike im new to this hosting servers will the arkams tool be a good pick?

[loud pike]

It's a really nice tool to setup server with no pain.

I loved it.

[dawn violet]

@loud pike so it host it for you and has cluster

@loud pike it says only 18 bucks a month

damn thats good

[loud pike]

Arkasm can be downloaded for free

[dawn violet]

really

so hosting is free or just the client

[loud pike]

On itch .io just click "No thanks, just take me to the downloads"

but I don't know if it support Cluster on the GUI

[dawn violet]

whats gui

[loud pike]

user interface

[dawn violet]

i dont knoiw what that is can you dumb it down

im a bit simple on the lingo

[indigo jungle]

ah I see! I've never used that command tbh so never knew what it really did 😆 I always assumed it listed the dino's into a chat or something lol learnt somethin new I guess! Part of my issue with my server too was because I had Astral dino spawns coded into my Game.ini and Extinction wasn't liking that lol just settled for replacing the standard alphas for the astrals and it works so gonna stick with that until extinction spawns get ironed out then I can re-add astral argys, wolves, mammoths and deinosuchus spawns back in!

[indigo jungle]

if you want to just use the Ark Dedicated Server tool on steam I can give ya a quick run over on how to set it up?

[candid heath]

Hi where do I go if I have a question about a mod?

[dawn violet]

@indigo jungle if i use ark dedicated server dont i have to have two device one to run it and one to play on it

[indigo jungle]

most mods will have have a discord link on there curseforge page for their mods

[dawn violet]

@indigo jungle i just want a cheap and easy server host that i can run cluster on for me and my friends

[indigo jungle]

I run mine on the same pc I play on mind you I have 128gb of ram though 😆

[dawn violet]

i have 64gb ram

[candid heath]

And if it doesn’t

[dawn violet]

would that be enough

[indigo jungle]

ok thats plenty to run probs 3 or 4 servers and still play they take up around 10ish GB of ram once they have started up and advertise for joining about 15gb when initially launching

[indigo jungle]

what mod* are you inquiring aboot?

[last magnet]

I have my server cluster on a dedicated PC. Dell Precision 5810. I can run 4 servers at once with 64GB of RAM, but I'm limited by my cores. I have a 4 core Xeon

[indigo jungle]

I used to do that with a laptop back in the day so don't blame ya 😆 I have and R9 9950X3D so I have no issues core wise

[last magnet]

I played Ark on a laptop lol

Asus ProArt with a 3060 Nvidvia GPU

[indigo jungle]

yee same mostly* remote play until I got my hands on a ROG SCAR STRIX 18 2024 (i9-14900HX & 4090 Combo), funny thing that laptop got stolen from me last month in Brampton, Ontario and I just recovered it a few weeks ago 😆

[last magnet]

current rig is a R9 9900X CPU + a radeon RX 9070XT GPU

[indigo jungle]

I had a hp victus 16 prior to that R5 5600 & a 3060 I believe

@last magnet dayum thats a nice rig!

[last magnet]

it's by Cyberpower. I could have built it myself but I didn't feel like it so I ordered it

I'm going to add some more RAM and a 2nd SSD

[indigo jungle]

Ah I see, how is the 9070xt treatin ya? I just built my buddies rig with one of those in it and I've honestly never tried an AMD gpu yet 😆 always stuck with nvidia

[last magnet]

games are so CHUNKY

it's been excellent

I get around 60FPS in Ark and Surviving Mars

[indigo jungle]

Thats good, I'm hoping my buddy is having a similar experience, he went full DDR5 with R7 9800X3D I believe, upgraded from a R5 5600 + GTX 1660 build lol

[last magnet]

anything would be an upgrade from that lol

[indigo jungle]

yee he wanted it to be good enough where he wouldn't have to worry about upgrading for a while considering the prices of some PC parts now 😬 hell corsair dominator ram 96gb was only 660$ CAD like 4-5 months ago now its like 919$ before tax lol friggin wild

[open skiff]

ark survival ascended login failure not logged in

[dawn violet]

@indigo jungle can you help me i want to host the server the way you said where i can host and play on it

[deep stone]

Yeah my goal here was to confirm surface reaper counts becuase it felt low, a little searching on here showed people complaining that surface reaper and basilisk have been low for a couple months. So odd because other spawn containers seem to line up to expected.

504 surface nameless but 80 reapers 😅

8 basilisk, target should be 42

[bronze jackal]

anyone know how to set the difficulty above a 1 on a non-dedicated server? i go to the ini settings and set it to how i want, but when i get into the server, it goes back to default when i join

[open arrow]

So im still gettimg random server crashes after the major update.
What odd is it hits 3 maps at the same time?
I host 23maps, when 1 goes down every 3-6hours its takes 2 with it.

Ive ruled out it being a Plug in but im confused :/
Anyone got the same thing and what to try double the brain power on this lol

[sterile nexus]

I wanna do a public cluster sever, which would be better for the community for PvP ASE? Or ASA? I wanna raid again

[autumn hornet]

the game difficulty, difficulty offset, is capped at 1, altho i think it's weird the ini files would reset. anyway, keep the offset at 1 and just add the OverrideOfficialDifficulty line to override the game difficulty. that'll be whatever max lvl you want divided by 30. i keep mine at 6 for a max of 180. make sure you have max difficulty set to false in the game.ini or disabled in the menu. anytime you change the difficulty on a game in progress, do a dino wipe

[reef thistle]

Hey i run a dedicated server and i just went to transfer maps for the first time since i set it up as a cluster, and none of the maps came up at first... and then one did, and then when i refreshed again and it went away... and then a few refreshes later a different one popped up... and then after refresh also went away... anyone have advice on that?

[acoustic lark]

It looks like it's an ongoing issue throughout all the clusters right now. Not just yours, ours is experiencing this as well.

I run a small private cluster in-house for myself and a few friends, and it's worked pretty well. However, lately I've personally run into an issue twice where I'll log into my server, and it'll put me on the character creation screen as if I don't already have a character on the server. If I go through that character creation screen, I can go right back to where I logged out and find my own old character still there.

The second time this happened, I checked through the server files before attempting to log in and can't seem to find my old character profile anywhere. Is there a way to restore it, or am I just going to (once again) have to cheat through all the ascensions/bosses I killed on the older character?

i am trying to make a server, im running it on Linux through AMP, i am able to join and everything is set up. Now i want to modify my game.ini and gameusersettings.ini so that i get a +/- 10x server, with a raised level cap, higher level dinos spawning, auto engram unlocks and upgraded level points, (mainly an extremely high weight and crafting speed for players, and a slightly better levelling for dino's (except weight which can be huge)) After hours and hours of trying all i have managed to figure out is the auto engrams

Could anyone tell me how to do this because its driving me insane. or point me in a direction where i can find ready to go files

its on ASE btw

How do you cap items on unofficial server so you arent getting 700% damage weapons or 300 armor saddles?

I want the same caps as official PVE

[wise kindle]

Use the Beacon app.

figured it out. You just change ClampItemStats to true and set the ItemStatClamps[1]=19800 and ItemStatClamps[3]=19800

[night marsh]

hello, so im using the pc gamepass version for ASA and Ive been using the mod B+ Structures and a couple days ago the pull function stop working for me on my server but its works for everyone else. has anyone ran into this before?

[foggy rain]

does someone have experience setting up cluster servers? i have two servers setup with AMP that run perfectly fine on their own, write into the correct ClusterDirectoryOverride, i can even upload items from one map to another, but they dont see eachother as one cluster

[night marsh]

make sure u generate a cluster ID with ur main server then with that cluster id paste it into the other

[foggy rain]

did that already

[night marsh]

hmm yea sorry man. try chatgpt lol works wonders for me

[foggy rain]

ive tried, but even it doesnt know any further :/

[foggy rain]

did you figuere it out? Im running into similar issues

[celest halo]

you set the clusterid on the servers to the same thing

[foggy rain]

i did. Here is my setup:

• ClusterID = Cluster1
• ClusterDirOverride = Folder on my NAS
• Enabled Cluster
• both instances running through AMP
• both instances running on the same physical box
  Results:
• I can access both maps
• I can upload items from one map to ther other
• both instances correctly write into the NAS folder
• the other server doesnt show up when i want to transfer, only when i am in the main menu

[tight cedar]

Hey does anyone have any advice in reference to not being able to transfer items or tames? ive got the .ini stuff in:

PreventDownloadItems=False

And yet i still keep getting hit with " item transfer not allowed on this server" when i try to move items or tames or anything from on map to another

Edit: okay so after running a test it appears i can transfer items between maps like Rag, Val, and Center but i cant transfer items from my club ark map to... literally anywhere else... which, makes playing club ark feel pointless when ya cant take your winnings home...

I have spent the last 4 hours straight on this and best i can come up with is that Club Ark is IGNORING the -ClusterOverride path and writing its cluster save data into its local Saved\clusters folder anyway which in turn just makes Item Transfers impossible

If anyone has any suggestions or advice i would greatly appreciate it

[wise kindle]

Is it blocking all items?
Or just thinkings like podded tames?

[tight cedar]

All items

[tight cedar]

I apologize for how long this is, but im out of ideas and have spent several more hours on this going over and over trying to get it to work
So im just gonna list everything we have done and hope someone out there can help
so heres whats going on

We run a 4-map ASA cluster: Ragnarok, Valguero, The Center, and Club ARK (BobsMissions_WP).

Problem:
Item transfers work fine between the 3 main maps, but Club ARK always blocks item uploads with the message:
“ark items transfer not allowed on this server .”

What we have already tried:

1. Started with Club ARK in a separate install path.

Club ARK originally lived in its own SteamCMD folder with its own Saved folder.

This caused ASA to generate multiple cluster directories across both installs.

2. Merged everything into a single server installation.

Moved all maps (including Club ARK) into:
ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame...

Disabled the separate Club ARK install completely.

3. Unified all cluster configuration.

All maps now use the same:

-clusterid=TheActualCluster_ID

Shared cluster directory

Removed all -ClusterOverride variations from every map.

4. Cleaned and rebuilt the cluster folder structure.

Deleted all empty auto-generated cluster folders.

Moved all valid cluster files into one directory.

Verified no map is recreating a rogue cluster folder.

5. Confirmed Club ARK loads unique INIs through AltSaveDirectoryName.

Created:
Saved\Config\WindowsServer\ChaosCovenClubArk

Moved its own Game.ini + GameUserSettings.ini inside.

Verified the server loads them correctly.

6. Verified all transfer-related settings are enabled.
   In every map’s GUS.ini:

bAllowItemTransfers=True

bCrossTransferItems=True

PreventUploadItems=False

PreventDownloadItems=False

CrossARKAllowForeignItemDownloads=True

NoTributeDownloads=False

etc.

7. Verified that home maps transfer fine.

Ragnarok ⇄ Valguero ⇄ Center → fully functional.

8. Only Club ARK still blocks item uploads.

Transmitter → ARK data → move item → popup says item transfers disabled.

This happens only on BobsMissions_WP.

What we need to know

Why is BobsMissions_WP (Club ARK) seeming to block item uploads to ARK Data regardless of settings? is there a specific config/flag needed to allow it? Am i going Insane?

[wise kindle]

Is Club ark clustered properly?

[digital rover]

I'm having trouble downloading maps in Ark, and I'm subscribed to Game Pass on PC. My problem is that I can't access the maps even though I've downloaded them.

[tight cedar]

As far as I can tell yes, its joinable, leaveable, shows up properly in listing, and so on
Seems the only issue with it is that you cannot take any items off of it which given what club ark is makes having it rather pointless if ya cant take your winnings back

[whole dawn]

Can someone help me

My icons and setting menu are really blurred and look horrible I don’t know how to fix this

#unofficial-setup-help

#1167978209246195733

[wise kindle]

By chance, do you have a bunch of ini settings on Club Ark?

Cuz ik the only settings that work on it involved hexagon distribution. The rest is ignored.
You could try removing anything extra and going with the default ini there.

Just a thought.

[tight cedar]

Hmm I do actually, ill try clearing them all
Will also note something I just realized, items will not transfer but my skins from fear evolved that I purchased while over there did carry back over... which seems wierd right?

[tight cedar]

Changes applied, still wont allowe

[whole dawn]

So no one knows what to do with this?

I’m cooked bru it looks like I’m reading without glasses even though I don’t wear them

[wise kindle]

Sorry im out of ideas.
I host via Nitrado and mine seems ok, tho I never pushed any settings changes so not sure if that makes a difference.
Might try a rebuild with only cluster settings applied. Other than that I got nothing.

[tight cedar]

I appreciate you taking the time to help, truly

[humble thicket]

anybody able to help me setup the cooldown timer for transfers on unofficial like they have on official?

[toxic hazel]

Items in your inventory automatically go to the obelisk when you travel back to a map, maybe its that if your trying to upload stuff?

[willow crystal]

hey, the turkey trial is live on wc? no problems on moddet servers?

[near hawk]

it's live on official

[sharp herald]

Regarding ASA: Port 7777 (UDP) should be the only port (and RCON Port TCP). So that should be fine for you.
Maybe the error lies elsewhere? Is your port-forwarding correct? Does the server advertise itself (check .log) or is there any issue with the server start up?

[austere rune]

Yeah the server is launching fine and advertising fine according to the logs.

Regarding port forwarding, I currently have the game port UDP forwarded and the RCON TCP port forwarded. Are there any other ports that need forwarded?

I can join the server by using the open command in the console, but the server isn't showing in the in-game server list.

What settings could cause gachas not to eat on their own? I don't think I've changed anything related to food, but if I don't force feed them, they won't eat at all.

These are all good signs.

Did you double check that the in game lists are correctly filtered? Search for unofficial servers for example. Happened to me sometimes that my filtering was wrong. 😅

[austere rune]

Yeah, definitely searching unofficial. Do dedicated self hosted count as "player servers"? I remember in the past there was a weird distinction between Nitrado hosted unofficial and self- or other hosted.

[sharp herald]

🤔 good question,
I have to admit that I am not sure - maybe you can try it out 😅

[austere rune]

Yeah it's not showing up with either that checked or unchecked. Tried refreshing while the search box was filled too and that didn't work.

[hardy crystal]

Hey! Anyone had issues with certain maps on a cluster taking forever to boot up, and then crashing? Specifically Astraeos - our cluster has had problems getting the map to run for over a month, and most of the player’s main characters are on Astraeos so it’s pretty much stopping people from playing the cluster at all.

[wise kindle]

Many have complained about stability issues with that map so you arent alone.
Best you can do is warn ppl not to main the map or simply do not have it as part of your cluster.
Till an update fixes its issues, there isnt much you can do.

[hardy crystal]

Yeah I’ve been reading and there’s a lot of complaints. Unfortunately I’d also mained that map 🤦‍♀️😂
Seems to be since an update a month or so ago, then one of our players logged in to see his character had duplicated 2x somehow. Shortly after this the map crashed and basically been barely able to get it back up since. Even rolling back hasn’t fixed the issue so concerned the save file may have been corrupted somehow. Will just keep fingers crossed for now that an update somehow fixes it 🤞

[wise kindle]

Unfortunately its been like this for the better part of 6 months with multiple content updates on the way.
I guess if you want to continue to main the map you may want to have backups on another map.
Just in case. Cuz sounds like updates will be 90% content and few performance fixes.

[hardy crystal]

That’s not great to hear hahaha. But yeah I think when/if it’s eventually back up and running, we will transfer stuff to another map. Going to be v frustrating if it ends up starting from scratch as we’d moved a lot of our stuff over there to main it. Should’ve left it all on Island 😂 thanks for the heads up though for sure

my server crashes after installing all mods, no error in the log, and the last line in the log is this

ah had to remove the cosmetics from the server mods lol weird

is it possible to have every mods potential .ini config options be auto created? or do i have to check every wiki/discord for every mod just to find the available ini config options?

[sharp herald]

That is sad. Maybe someone else has additional ideas. I only came across this post, maybe some measures from there can help (Reddit)?

r/ArkSurvivalAscended/comments/18kuvxd/server_not_showing_up_in_list/

[toxic hazel]

You have to manually import, some mods have ingame settings that you can change instead of the ini

[toxic hazel]

Installed/updated your certs? If you give the the name i can try look too incase its just you

[plush abyss]

what would the class name be for areas that are next to water but arent beaches? (class name as in the name for the dino spawn entries)

[oak lantern]

how do you find a server to add on discord?

help

server is down and trying to find it to put in a ticket

[spice axle]

So uh I tried doing this myself but failed miserably. But does anyone know how to code your server so that just the medium tek teleporter engram will Auto Unlock for everyone?

I have a system of tek teleporters for my unofficial Valguero server where there’s one in every biomie and want everyone to be able to use them regardless of level

[zealous robin]

u can

idk the name for the tps in asa tho

EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekTeleporter_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=128)

into the game.ini

not that exactly, thats ase TP

[spice axle]

I used a similar command and it didn’t work

In the server code

EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="<index>",LevelToAutoUnlock=<value>)

EngramEntry_TekTeleporterSmall_C

[zealous robin]

ye should work if you change the small to med

[spice axle]

Alright thanks

[zealous robin]

should go into the game.ini

[spice axle]

You 100% sure it listed as med?

[zealous robin]

medium

[spice axle]

The Wiki is showing me that the medium tek teleporter is listed as small in the code

[zealous robin]

i looked and didnt see it

[spice axle]

Alright I’ll try it quick then

[zealous robin]

the medium is "small"

the small is "mini"

[spice axle]

So what’s the exact code I should be putting in? If I want just the medium tek teleporter to be automatically unlocked for everyone regardless of level?

[zealous robin]

ima test it on my sp

[spice axle]

Thanks mate

[zealous robin]

it works

EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekTeleporterSmall_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=1)

[spice axle]

Putting it in rn

[spice axle]

I’ll have my server goers test it out

@zealous robin It did in fact not work

I double checked and made sure I put in the exact command

[zealous robin]

i put it at the end of my [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
header in game.ini

a server should have its own game.ini file

[spice axle]

I put it outside of that

[zealous robin]

wdym

[spice axle]

Does it need to be in the brackets?

[zealous robin]

no i sent pic

[spice axle]

Sent a picture to me?

[zealous robin]

yes

[plush abyss]

im trying to make gigas spawn more frequently, whats a good spawn weight, spawn percentage, and entry weight to put it as?
i want it to be somewhat frequent but not like overrunning everything

i just adjusted it to a spawn weight of 0.5, a spawn percent of 0.2, and an entry weight of 0.3
they were spawning too frequently, do these numbers seem good or do i need them lowered?

[plush abyss]

yeah theres still far too many 😭😭

[near hawk]

u are editing the giga spawn entrie?

giga and carcha spawn work on a big ass timer

[plush abyss]

yeah, im adding more spawns since i was told that makes it spawn more but i also heard the spawn percentage command also does so i added both

theres no carch on this map

[near hawk]

either use the More Giga and Carchar Spawns mod from eclispe or just add -ForceRespawnDinos to the launch arguments

[plush abyss]

theres a mod that just
adds more gigas for me?? 😭😭

[near hawk]

messing with spawn entries is one of the most cancer thing in ark

trust me

[plush abyss]

well screw me
ive been messing with this for over a day now LOLL

[near hawk]

yeah, if i remenber right ASE also has a version for it

[plush abyss]

i wouldve looked for a mod sooner but i also wanted to add more deinos so i just used the ini way

there dont seem to be too many deinos so im doing something right

[near hawk]

croc or elephant or raptors?

[plush abyss]

croc

only maniacs call deinons “deino”

[near hawk]

honestly i have never used ini to increase it, just decrease them

deinotherium
deinosuchus
deinonychus

all can get called deino

[plush abyss]

there was hardly any paleo ones spawning (i have it so the paleo ones replace most of the regular ones) so i thought i should increase

but alright let me go look at that mod LOL

[near hawk]

u on SP?

[plush abyss]

yeah

[near hawk]

spawn are just slown on SP

if your pc has extra ram

host a server to play on

[plush abyss]

i mean things spawned real quick

so im not sure

but anyways let me remove that bit of ini, whats the mod called?

[near hawk]

More Giga and Carchar Spawns

[plush abyss]

alright ty

im not seeing it, maybe they changed the name?

[near hawk]

ASA or ASE

[plush abyss]

ase

[near hawk]

give me a sec

[plush abyss]

kk

[near hawk]

can't find the ASE version

i'll give u another that can fix your issues

[plush abyss]

thank you 😭😭

[near hawk]

it's simple spawners

let's u add spawns to your liking

just not dinos

basicly anything

[plush abyss]

alrighty

[coarse night]

Hullo! Could anyone perhaps assist me on Whitelisting Custom Cosmetics for my dedicated server?

So I want to make it to where everyone can see custom cosmetics that other people have, but they themselves don't have downloaded. (I assumed this is what whitelisting the specific mods meant)

So I whitelisted the cosmetic mods, and now none of them are showing. Have I done something wrong, or do I not have something toggled? Or - is whitelisting NOT for doing that?

If it's not, is it even possible for other people to see your cosmetics if they themselves do not have them downloaded? (I assumed this would also be a possibility if I misunderstood, I know that Whitelisting itself is usually just for allowing said mods on the list; however I figured with the wording it meant other players could see your customs too.)

[smoky glen]

Whitelisting is allowing it on the server (usually you do all are not allowed but those you whitelist or you allow all and don't need to whitelist any). They will need to install the mods on their end too to see it. Dynamic downloads usually will auto download if they turn that on.

[coarse night]

Do you know where I may find the setting to enable dynamic downloading, so that I can point my friends in the right direction to turn it on? Thank you. :)

[smoky glen]

In the game, Settings, Advanced, make sure Disable Cosmetics Dynamic Downloading is off.

[coarse night]

Thank you <3

[zealous robin]

no

[lost spoke]

im trying to add some creature spawns, Elderclaw,Veilwyn and the 4 drake variants
cant post the game.ini but the entries are correct i would assume since two drakeling variants are spawning
but only winter and autumn drakes are spawning, none of the others are, why is that? is the game broken?

[zealous robin]

the winter and autum only spawn in biomes

[lost spoke]

what?

[zealous robin]

winter = spawn in snow
no snow biome, no winter

[lost spoke]

can you please read what i wrote again

[zealous robin]

still applies

[lost spoke]

what?

[zealous robin]

swap winter in my sentances for the ones that arent spawning

what map are you trying to add them too?

[lost spoke]

let me clarify,
I set it up that autumn drake spawns in redwoods, spring in jungle, summer in beach and winter in snow, i setup veilwyn to spawn in snow as well and elderclaw to spawn in jungle

but of all these entries only winter and summer are spawning, no veilwyns, no elderclaw no autumn and no spring drakelings

yea

[zealous robin]

under "[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]" in game.ini

Has anyone already removed Fear Ascended from their servers?
Is it now possible to delete it without risking the loss of event items?

[near hawk]

they remain

but as everything with ark

nothing is 100% safe

also all of official removed it and barely nay reports of missing items from what i have seen here

[broken stream]

Thanks a lot!

By the way, do you or anyone else also have recurring issues with players getting stuck on “Refreshing ARK inventory” when they upload items?
We’re forced to delete the player's EOS ID file in the cluster folder to unblock them, and of course they lose everything.
It’s starting to become a real problem and we still haven’t found any solution for it.

If anyone has info or a fix, we’d really appreciate it!

Is there a way to get the item string of a modded saddle yourself the author doesn’t seem to know what it is himself lol

[worldly bear]

Hello i'm on ASE, trying to make my own dedicated server. i dont undertand which ports are supposed to be tcp vs udp. it says udp on the grid but then later it says the server should be forwarded as tcp to show up on steam server list so i dont get it

[fickle moon]

Hey everyone, I currently have a server with an N95 CPU and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. Do you think that's enough for 3 players with a lot of content and dinos? Or is it too weak?

[jagged garnet]

Just open them to both tcp/UDP there is no downsides to opening it to both.

[jagged garnet]

Depends on the map and mods. Some of my maps (no mods) only use 6gb but some use as much as 16-18gbs with the avg being about 10-12gb. And thats vanilla with low population. That's also with mine running at 3ghz on quad channel. So a 16gb dual channel ddr4 setup may be able to handle a single low pop server but I wouldn't hold my breath for a modded to the walls astreos or rag.
Edit: to add, ark isnt very processor heavy on the server side. Its mostly ram.

[fickle moon]

Okay, and is the fjodure okay?

[jagged garnet]

Ahhh, I forgot you said ASE and was confused a sec. I cant remember what fjord took its been so long since I had my ase cluster. Its probably comparable to rag and Val. Only way to find out is run it and try. It could be smooth as butter or you could have some rubberbanding. You could also adjust dino counts, stasis timer etc to help lower the load.

Tldr, ark is more ram intensive than processor reliant (I ran my cluster on a twin xeon build that peaked at 2.4ghz and ddr2 ram that peaked at 1444) i upgraded after about 5-6 maps.

[somber gyro]

Can someone help me

I have a ps5 ark ascended server, it just keep forever crashing....I can't figure out why

Not sure if its mods or what but its almost unplayable

[frail crescent]

It is quite possible a mod conflict. Troubleshooting would be to start the server with a few mods and see if it loads, if it does, add a few more, etc etc.

I am looking for any admins familiar with the -BackupTransferPlayerData and -usestore. I haven't converted to the new system yet, and going to in preparation for Lost Colonies, and I am mostly curious about SHOULD the need arise to having to fix a player, what do I need to really do.

[somber gyro]

Does anyone know of any specific mods currently causing constant crashing?

[frail crescent]

It litterally can be any

Was anything updated recently?

[somber gyro]

I run runic wyverns which got updated today but I've been running that for ages without any problems

[frail crescent]

So heres your steps:

1. Shut down, and Backup your save file. Save it to another location.
2. Remove the Wyvern mod and launch the server.
3. If it launches, theres your issue. If it still crashes, remove more mods until it stops crashing.

[warm coyote]

Hi, get anybody the world buff id list? I couldn't find it

[vale sierra]

Could someone tell me which settings I need to configure so that custom cosmetics are displayed on our server?

CosmeticWhitelistOverride=URL have been set

[somber gyro]

For me its not that the server doesn't launch it, its just crashes for seemingly unknown reasons while playing, lately alot while opening the inventory

[opal patio]

Are unofficial servers down??

Why am I only able to see 200😅

[lost spoke]

im hosting my own server on my own pc and connecting to it and sometimes it lags? like i would rubberband a bit back, or the ui input was delayed by 1-2 seconds etc, i used to host on my own pc last year as well and had no issues, did i miss something, maybe a config i checked wrong?

[winter ridge]

While downloading wyverns from SP to my unofficial lan, fire wyverns worked normally but for some reason when i click to download the poison/lightning it just refreshes the creature page and nothing happens. Has this happened to anyone?

[surreal grove]

what server manager is the best and can i setup a lost colony server? '

[lost spoke]

does the server software not save when i shut it down? i start my server, play on it for a bit, log out ingame and close the server, next day im like 5-10 minutes behind from where i stopped playing ,missing tames, wrong place etc?

[clear lichen]

Long shot but does anyone know how i can spawn Manticore/Dragon trophies on Crystal Isles?

We're doing a world tour of all the maps killing bosses with Crystal isles being our home but we can't move trophies so tried spawning in the ones we killed but I'm not getting the trophy when using the gfi command

[bleak ivy]

lost colony isn't out yet.
best would be using no manager as they can cause issues especially with new updates depending how they work (never used any for ASA so wouldn't know)

[tight cedar]

So apparently only 1 xbox player has been succesful at joining my server so im restarting from a fresh SteamCMD install and double checking all my .bat and ini files
Is anyone willing to help me review my old files that i saved before wiping and assist me in fixing the issue? as far as i can tell i had everything set up proper but still only 1 console player could join, everyone else got timeout issues, pc players as far as ive seen had no issue to my knowledge

[outer crest]

there was a new server update 361.5 and the newest client is 361.4 since then i cant join any server anymore.
any help?

[near hawk]

ask in the aquatica discord

those are aquatica versions

#general message

i advise u to switch to preaquatica beta and just find a new server there

[outer crest]

wtf is aquatica

im playing normal ark se

[near hawk]

the version u on, that add the Slop DLC made by Snail after WC sunset ASE, just to milk the people still there

[near hawk]

if u on 360 or higher version, u are on the aquatica patch of ASE

[outer crest]

idk

can downgrade anything

[near hawk]

switching to preaquatica is switching your game to the last version of ASE made by WC

I'm using ASADM and don't have any of the problems that D3solat3 was hinting at.

[reef thistle]

Hey guys. I can use some troubleshooting advice.

On one of my servers, all cryo'd dinos and resources (vanilla and modded) up and disappeared. I've taken off all mods, and loaded multiple different backups at various dates, and it's all the same.
Anyone got any ideas on what I can do, or is the profile cooked?

[peak fern]

If I have a ubuntu server on my old pc. Can I run an ASA server for me and my friends on it?

[celest halo]

You can but ASA don't have lunix binaries so it's not that straight forward as install and run

[reef thistle]

Basically anything that an "item" is gone.

[frail crescent]

Is there anyone running both ArkShop and SCS?

[plush abyss]

can a ps5 and a pc player play modded ark together on ase?

[tepid berry]

This sounds like a stacking mod issue - they sometimes make duplicates of all the stackable items and if you've removed the mod, none of that mods items will show. You need to re-add the mod to see the items in the older backups; you'll have to resort to checking out those mods discords in order to report the bug once you find which mod is causing it.

[coarse ocean]

Are there any known issues with the Acekorneya docker image? I can't find my servers on battlemetrics and am not sure if it's my own config or an issue with the script.

[uncut jolt]

I wanna rent my first server, is it possible to make a 1:1 copy of official server settings wise?

With my own tweaks of course

[celest halo]

Last I knew battlemetrics was broken for showing newer version of asa

[celest halo]

Don’t know if you can do a 1:1 copy, I don’t know of anywhere that shows the settings they have changed from defaults

[coarse ocean]

With Acekorneya, there is a setting called UseDynamicConfig, which I believe copies rates from official. There is a configuration software that is surprisingly accurate called Beacon ($$) which probably has official configurations in its community configurations listings.

[calm quiver]

Does anyone have a recommended way to host servers outside of steamcmd? ideally id like something that I can make changes live but not needed I do play the game on the same pc as well

[frail crescent]

Is anyone running Ark Shop & SCS?

[visual jungle]

Does anyone know why every time I open the inventory of a creature or structure, the descriptions/craftings don't appear? (the description button is on)

No

Does anyone have some knowledge with ark server setup that could help me with a few things

Edit (survival evolved)

[smoky glen]

[lost spoke]

is there anytyhing i can do to make the server less laggy since im hosting it locally and connecting to it locally, nobody else will join ever, somehow i get slight lags etc even tho the connection should be perfect

[celest halo]

Laggy don’t always have to be connection issues, arks not the best optimized game, and if you play with a bunch of mods always going to run into some type of server lag

[lost spoke]

i understand that, but it doesnt happen in singlepalyer at all, like inventory / storage interactions sometimes just lag behind, sometimes my character slightly rubberbands etc. I didnt have this issue last december when i hosted a server and played on it by myself, but this december its worse.

[golden nest]

Move to single-player or buy a secondary PC to offload system resources onto, because the game has gotten heavier over the years. Using one system to both play/host on is a no no.

[scenic ferry]

Which ASA map (modded included) eats the least RAM when hosting a dedicated server?

[plush abyss]

how would you spawn an exact dino that doesnt use or have a saddle?
i tried the spawn exact dino on an indom yesterday but it just crashed my game and the command on dododex has a line that talks about saddle quality

[plush abyss]

alright, thats what i ended up doing

[kindred bison]

Hey does anyone know where to locate the dino stats per level values that official servers run? I wanted to ever so slightly raise them for my own server. Thanks

[plush abyss]

i think theyre all 1.0, atleast on ase

acoording to google this is the value when affinity and such is taken into account

Health (ID 0): 1.0 (Base) + 0.14 (Add) + 0.44 (Affinity) = 1.58 points
Stamina (ID 1): 1.0 (Base) + 1.0 (Add) + 1.0 (Affinity) = 3.0 points
Torpidity (ID 2): 1.0 (Base) + 1.0 (Add) + 1.0 (Affinity) = 3.0 points
Oxygen (ID 3): 1.0 (Base) + 1.0 (Add) + 1.0 (Affinity) = 3.0 points
Food (ID 4): 1.0 (Base) + 1.0 (Add) + 1.0 (Affinity) = 3.0 points
Weight (ID 5): 1.0 (Base) + 1.0 (Add) + 1.0 (Affinity) = 3.0 points
Melee Damage (ID 6): 0.17 (Base) + 0.14 (Add) + 0.44 (Affinity) = 0.75 points
Movement Speed (ID 8): 1.0 (Base) + 1.0 (Add) + 1.0 (Affinity) = 3.0 points

use some docker images, google for "github docker ark mschnitzer" to find one.. but you also need enough cpu/memory.

[stiff tulip]

curious if anyone here can help, I self host a dedicated server on my home's LAN. all the network and connection issues are solved and working fine. we're an ARK family and I have 4 computers on the lan that can connect at any given time. I've not seen any issues with the dedicated server at all other than this;

after the last round of updates and patches, my base won't load in anymore. it's not a huge base, but it's not tiny either. rafts and platform saddles seem to be loading in, but I've not been able to get any of the land base structures to load in.

they are there, your character glitches out when interacting with them. if you take the .ark file to SP and test it out, the structures are there, so the ark file isn't corrupted.

it doesn't appear to be client side, on my primary desktop, I have an amd 9070xt / intel I7, and downstairs I have an intel I7/Nvidia 50xx (mobile) gaming laptop, and both have run the game just fine in the past. but neither are loading in structures. my kids wimpy computer doesn't load them either.

anyway, sorry for the big post, but wanted to see if anyone could help.

Is super cryo storage broken ?

[eternal cosmos]

Hey everyone 👋
I really need some help with a bug in ARK: Survival Ascended (Steam version).

I keep getting this message:
❌ “No sufficient mod storage space. Uninstall older mods to continue.”

The weird thing is — I have zero mods installed, I’ve completely reinstalled the game, deleted all workshop and local files, cleared Steam cache, disabled Steam Cloud, even created a new Mods.db file manually... and the error still won’t go away.

It happens only on my main Steam account — if I log in with a new account, everything works fine.
So it looks like my main profile’s mod storage data (ModStorage.sav / Steam Cloud) is somehow corrupted.

Has anyone managed to fix this issue?
I’m running out of ideas 😅 — any working solution or advice would be amazing. 🙏

im hosting a server for only me, can i configure it so i dont have to enter an admin password and im admin by default?

[lean ore]

Hello,
anyone have an idea or a solution to link 2 or more Ark Ascended server on 2 different root servers?
I think the main problem is the cluster-folder. These data are local on the roots and not included by the transfer.

[robust nymph]

Can we please get a tame limit that works on pve?
Default is 150 but can go to 250 and no matter what i try, it's always above 150

[zealous robin]

we do lol

the 150 tame limit, is not the dino limit

that is rafts/carts/stryiders/osiasur ect

[robust nymph]

I want 150 dinos out. Thats it haha. I dont 250 single dinos, laggy as.

[zealous robin]

there is a thing for that

idk it off the top my head

[tight cedar]

how does one go about activating the events properly?

[robust nymph]

Ive tried everything i can find..stuff that worked on ase doesnt seem to work on asa

[junior eagle]

events on asa act as mods, just put the mod number for the event and reload the server

[plush abyss]

if i make a spawn point for rock drakes on a map where they dont spawn, will they automatically make nests and such and lay eggs?

[wise kindle]

No
Only in the trenches will they make nests. And only in some trenches does this work.

[deep sphinx]

Can try that again, but with AMP, last time it bugged out and banned EVERYONE on our server using that.

[polar dagger]

just dont mix it with separate whitelist features..

[bright osprey]

Can someone help me, I rented a server on nitrado and i try to go into the server on Ark Mobile but somehow it doesn’t show

[plush abyss]

okay im so confused 😭
im trying to tame an acro and i shoot it twice but it just does not enter its stance and roars, all it does is stomp, bite, and do some kind of head bash

what am i doing wrong
my weapons are high damage and do atleast 1k per shot so its not like im not doing enough damage

all it says is either it doesnt want tamed or it just says the name and level, theres never an option to feed

[tight cedar]

Okay, to clarify i was under the impression that removing the mod would then result in certain items disappearing, is this not the case?

[sage stump]

Just the thing of the mod

[sage stump]

For exemple you spawn a mod Dino it disappears

When mod deleated

[tight cedar]

So like Gacha Clause and Pego Grinch and what not?

[sage stump]

Yeah

[sage stump]

Unless it is a skin

[tight cedar]

Okay bet, thank you for the clarification 🖤

[sage stump]

Then the skin is deleted

thx for the quick reply! I'll check that out!

wow that's comprehensive!
I'd like to have some gus.ini config that's not overridable by admins to make sure it's the same on all maps and stays robust. Maybe that's an option, will check their discord...

Nope. Mine are all getting and error code when I tried to restart them.

[pure vapor]

think ive found the right place haha other peoples servers are down aye

anyone know how long it takes for a server to be back up after updating it

[untold mason]

hello, i have a question about my dedicated servers running on my pc in the other room. I start them with a .bat file and then i have a pair of windows that come up. one shows what the server is doing line by line as it loads and then I see it as long at the server is running doing things like showing when an ip connects or garbage collection and so on. it seems to be just a window showing what the server is doing and it seems just an information windows showing server status stuff. The next window it the one that the .bat file opens, the command prompt. I am not able to do anything with htis window until I manually close the other windows and then i get a y/n question about stopping the process and I answer yes and then I'm done. I am hoping I can find a simple way to do the following. 1- autosave the server as it currently is, 2-shut the server down, 3-update the server, then 4-restart the server. I had thought about getting ASA Manager to figure this out but I get so darn confused so easy. My issue in a nut shell is the fact that i cannot run an autosave to save the server before i shut it down to do an update if there is a major update released like there was today. The darn Steam prevents me from login into my game account to run a "cheat saveworld" command and so that is why i was thinking ASA Manager might work. However, i got to thinking that maybe there was a simpler solution. Is there a way to force the server to create a save, like 'saveworld' from the within the game, but without actually needing to log into the game? This way i could save the servers than just close everything then update then then restart them all manually like I do now and avoid the confusion I seem to be having getting an ark manager installed. Thanks a ton for any help you could give.

[last magnet]

rcon can do that but rcon is a bit finicky.

[celest halo]

can also run most command right through the console window that opens

[last magnet]

I use ASA dedicated server manager, has a discord bot setup where I can do stuff like save a full backup, just a saveworld, or other things with some commands in the channel

I was like nope.jpg at doing a bat file for my cluster, I work better with a gui

[tepid berry]

So, anyone else on 76.1 experiencing folders disappearing and not being able to be recreated (they disappear again when you close the UI)

[tepid berry]

"cheat doexit" in the terminal window or rcon will save the server before shutting it down.

[wise kindle]

Its being reported widespread

[tepid berry]

Thx, I have most of the other ark channels on discord turned off

Hello everyone, I need help with a problem. I'm hosting a server using Nitrado—the official website Ark recommends—but I'm having issues adjusting settings, specifically for baby dinos. I’m trying to increase their maturation speed so they grow faster, but when I change the settings and restart the server, nothing happens.

If anyone can help me, please DM me or @ me. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for your time!

[toxic hazel]

0x6 connection issues, reinstall steamcmd and keep retrying, all can do basically

[spare brook]

Those settings go in the game.ini
I've forgot how Nitrado's setting optoins work but if you're editing the text file for it... you need to enter a header
Put ** [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]** at the top of the game.ini, then your configs below. Without the header, it won't actually save and use the configs.

[ember scarab]

Out of curiosity if there sun setting serves are they allowing tribute transfers?

I have zer quetion! Is annyone else exprincing after an update idk if was to DinoDeport of VanilaWithSprinkels but suddenly I cannot use the dinodeport balls to store my dinos in as there is a cool down with no timer and when I pick them up the saddle would disapear?

[simple vault]

@spring sundial

I know that glitch

It sucks cuz you have to delete Dino deep pot and redownload it

That's how I fixed mine

[spring sundial]

Man so I have to yeet it off of my server to fix it 😭

Wait you're on PlayStation

Oh no you're on steam my bad yeah you have to do that it works for PC too

Nope pc

But yeah I am on Steam and it just hates me sometimes

Are there any people here who know something about this? I’ve been trying for about a day now to get the full logs of everything on my ARK server. It’s not really working completely — I don’t know if it’s even possible or if I’m doing something wrong. I did manage to get quite a lot of logs to work, but for example, when a boss fight starts, the log shows that I started it, but it does not show when I killed the boss, and that’s what I want. I can’t seem to get that part working. Does anyone know which setting controls that, or how to enable it? Because I also talked with ChatGPT for a while, but that doesn’t always make you smarter.

[last magnet]

in the console window showing the logs, right click and select show date and time. works best while active. This works for self-hosted on a Windows machine, I do not know how Nitrado works on logs. But surely they have an option somewhere.

[hot wolf]

i cant find my server after updating to v76.1, anyone else having issues or a solution?

[bitter pelican]

How do you allow transferring things out of a map but not allowing transferring things in? Like how when a new map drops you can’t transfer your things in but you can transfer stuff out

[near hawk]

Disable dowloads on dinos and items

[bitter pelican]

Is that only for single player or can it work with servers?

[near hawk]

Server too

That's what official does

Okay cool thank u

Hi everyone, I’m running into a problem with my ASE server (pre-aquatica) and could use a nudge in the right direction.
I’ve been hosting an ASE server through ASM for a long time without issues, but suddenly I can’t update it anymore.

The update fails with this error:

RunProcessAsync: filename steamcmd.exe; exitcode = 8

There is plenty of free space on the disk (70GB+ free) and the server runs fine still (Can boot and play without issue)

Not sure if I missed any recent announcements or changes.
Any info or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

[full raven]

Yo guys me (on ps5) and my friend on pc are trying to join each other but when I make a non dedicated world he can’t see it and when he makes one I can’t see it

[jagged garnet]

Ive seen quite a few people with this issue but not seen anyone address it so dont hold your breathe and I'd recommend asking on say reddit or forums. From a dedicated server stand point my first guess would be networking (portforwarding) but I am unsure if ark does that part for you with non dedicated in some way. I would look up if you need to do that and if so look on the wiki for the networking sections. Otherwise I will always recommend looking for unofficial servers that may meet you needs.

[full raven]

It’s cuz none dedicated doesn’t have cross play

[jagged garnet]

Dangggggg that sucks, I dont understand why thats a setting thats off by default for dedis. I didnt know mine was off for atleast 2 months on my cluster.

we have a dedicated server and a discord server and was woundering in anyone knows about a way of connecting the to so ingame chat logs can display in a discord chatroom it would make it easier then habbing to download every day the chatlogs of the ark server and reading through them all or join the game just to give annoucments

[hybrid spindle]

Not sure if you figured this out or not. Try deleting the "steamapps" folder and all contents and then recreate it in your server directory and then run the update again. Hope this helps.

There are a few mods out there that do this, or look into ARKServerAPI

World saves/backups.

I've been looking into this because, obviously, with all the rapid fire patches there have been crashes on my unofficial server misterXworld

The the mechanism as I understand it operates like this, the world file for each map Auto saves every 15 minutes but doesn't actually create a duplicate backup every 15 minutes. The duplicate backup of each map seems to be saving every 2 hours and 10 minutes.

There does seem to be a way to get the backup duplicates to be created more often than every 2hrs and 10min. So it seems to me that I will need to create a script (running server on Ubuntu through Pok Ark) to create my own backup system because the ark profiles don't appear to be backing themselves up either.

My conclusion is to create backups of the entire server saves folder that contains all of the .ark and .arkprofile files in a location of my choosing in order to recover kits and world saves due to server crashes or server error.

.
I will likely save in 15min increments up to 48hrs and clean backups older than that. So a rolling 48hrs captured in 15min increments.

Ark: Survival Evolved

Have one server up and running (default ports 7777/7778/27015/27020.

That's working just fine.

Opened up ports 7779/7780/27016/27021 and tried to start a second server for Ragnarok and it just hangs during the startup process. I let it hang there for 2 hours at one point (not really on purpose - I had something else to do and came back two hours later and it was still hung up.

I have the ports assignments, the batch files that start server 1 and server 2, and the log files for server 1 and server 2.

Nothing seems amiss - the port assignments are correct.

Literally the only differences between the first and second startup batch files are the session name Sollert1Server swapped to Sollert2Server, TheIsland swapped to Ragnarok and 7777/27015 swapped into 7779/27016. But the second server will not come up.

I've no idea why that would be the case.

Let me know what I need to provide to troubleshoot this.

Hi, I’m trying to move my ARK Survival Evolved server from Windows to Linux, but the world save won’t load. I copied the Windows .ark files and my configs over, and the server crashes with:

Can't load world save file
Signal 11 caught

I’m running the latest Linux dedicated server in Docker. I think it might be the Windows save or the configs.

Does anyone know how I can migrate my server to Linux while keeping player and tribe data?

[prisma urchin]

I'm unclaer how the support ticket is supposed to work. I opened one, was asked to describe the problem, and then ghosted. It's been since yesterday at 11:30 or so a.m.

Question for anyone with experience:

I usually cluster my maps for seamless transfers back and forth, but for Lost Colony I want to leave my current map behind and transfer just a couple creatures, and my character. How do I do this without having to pay for another server and cluster?

Is that how the obelisk is used? Do I upload my survivor and creature there and hope to retrieve them when LC launches?

[iron bronze]

So....this is a bit of a strange one...

Someone on my servers (Extinction) threw out their Pyromane (we use Dino Depot) and it turned in to a Shadowmane...Anyone seen this? lol

[wise kindle]

Dino Depot has been having issues

[iron bronze]

Yea, I know...i'm gonna go to them next

[bleak ivy]

thats a new one 😂

Is there anything we can do? My hubbys character is asleep on bed, but when he tries to log in it goes to character creation... We run our own servers from home and I have no idea why he can't log into his character.

[bleak ivy]

the respawn as existing survivor button isn't there?

[fluid mural]

nope 🙁

[dense grove]

Was told to ask here. Just brought online a 2nd server on nitrado. Things seemed to be going ok until I tried to download a couple dinos and it isn't allowing it. Someone mentioned they need to be clustered. Is that true? This is a family and friends server so havent worried about people bringing in things from single player or elsewhere. What settings am I missing? Have:PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False

(old map ragnarok, new map island. Tames: griffon, bison, drakeling, pyro if that matters)

[wise kindle]

Cluster is done via the crossark tab in the Nitrado interface

Stop the servers
On the crossark tabs enable CrossArk on both servers

Then in one server generate a new cluster id.
Hit the SAVE button

Copy this id from one server to the other.
Hit the SAVE button
Ensure both servers do NOT have the exact same name.

The start the servers.

[dense grove]

So is that required though? I thought it was just to prevent things coming from other servers.

[wise kindle]

To prevent the issues you describe yes.

[dense grove]

That took care of it! Thanks! Also when you transfer servers (cross ark is new to me) can you bring equip and cryos on your char or do you still need to put everything in the tower

[wise kindle]

Yes
The only restrictions are hardcoded non transferable items like dino tributes, for example trex arms and raptor claws are not transferable.

[astral wasp]

GUYS i need help

I have a question. I have a root server running Ubuntu 24.04. I'm planning to set up an Ark: ASA server using the Pelican Panel with an Egg. The problem is that Ark: ASA only supports Windows servers. I tried starting it with Wine/Proton as the root account, and while the server starts, it doesn't appear in Ark, so players can't join. Do any of you have experience with this game and hosting it? If so, could you perhaps help me solve this problem?

PLSSS im chrashing out

I looked up your error on Googul Gemini and it says that it can be a corrupted file transfer, an incompatible proton, or IMO the most likely, it could be file ownership issues. If you want help troubleshooting this, feel free to DM I.

I have been having an issue with something called "Stasis baby dino starvation" and am wondering if that is unavoidable, or if it's something I have done to myself with bad ini configs.

[mighty walrus]

@coarse ocean thank ill have to give beacon a look at

[coarse ocean]

If you just want a simple loot drop change, I will look it up and send it to you. I was just working with that stuff and am familiar with it.

[mighty walrus]

@coarse ocean yeah I was trying to change or add what you can get out of specific sky drops. Like kibbles in ringed drops or element dust in red . Along those lines

[coarse ocean]

Completely doable. DM I for specifics.

[swift glade]

Anyone know how fix babysat on asa?

Do you have to use beacon for both nitrado putting all settings ?

[coarse ocean]

I had to look up Pelican, it appears to be a newer fork of Pteradactyl. If your server isn't appearing in Ark server listings, you definitely need to go through the logs and see if it is even started up. One thing you can do is try to manually connect to the server with ip addy and port. Otherwise, your best bet is to use free LLM to get the basic troubleshooting steps gone through, though not to trust it literally for everything.

So for more context, I am using ASE, I noticed that it adds in the -newsaveformat command line parameter so further testing has revealed that is the issue, I no longer get the error when launching the save and adding -newsaveformat to my start command on linux however it doesn't appear to be loading so still looking into what I am doing wrong

[coarse ocean]

I have no server knowledge of ASE. With my testing of the script manager I use (POK-manager/ Acekorneya), I found that deleting the container and reinstalling solved some issues, while then restoring the save files and configs to the new container.

[lapis badger]

Thanks for the suggestions, the docker container I am using is one of my own creation, built one for PixArk (was my first ever container) and now having fun trying to get the server to accept my windows save created using ASM, if I omit the -newsaveformat parameter in my start command I get Can't load world save file, please replace it with the latest backup. but once I add it then it just waits, not entirely sure what it is doing so but I do know the save can take about 900 seconds to load on my PC

[coarse ocean]

I don't know if this is related, but there was something in the patch notes recently for ASA about a Command line argument for long load times. "-ForceRecreateSaveGameDatabaseOnFirstSave " Just FYI.

[torn glade]

hi i need help my ark keeps freezing and it wont start the game

[lapis badger]

Thanks, not sure if that will work on ASE

[lapis badger]

I figured out my issue was indeed -newsaveformat command line parameter I was missing but I noticed that my script calling the game does not show output like it does on windows and also the ShooterGame.log will be empty until the server stops, any suggestions how to fix this?

[coarse ocean]

The only thing I know about logs is the -logs CLI parameter. I have read that there are more of them but I'm not that good at actual UE5 stuff.

[lapis badger]

I have that, but the wiki at https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration you will see that it states the -log does nothing

[vestal kiln]

hey im on pc playing on xbox app but when im in game and trying todown load mods it wont do anything plz help been at it for almost 5 hours now

[gritty cove]

So I set up my server, I launched the game, and went to unoffical server tab and my server is not showiwng in the list to join. Anyone have similiar issue that they found a solution for? I check online and doing the +severname +password method and that didn't work.

[toxic hazel]

Got Player Server ticked ingame? this shows player servers (hosted by players) if still not have you installed your amazon certs?

[plush abyss]

what are some maps on ase (modded or vanilla) that are relatively flat and dont have a ton of sudden inclines? ive been playing on valguero but all of the random steep cliffs are driving me mad

[sage stump]

Island

[sage stump]

Extinction

Those 2 are mostly flat but have some place with cliff

[unreal iris]

Can someone help me? I can't download mods; it says I don't have enough space, but I don't have any mods installed. I'm on PS5.

[mystic sierra]

Hey, we have been trying to set up a cluster but for some reason we cant spawn on the map? We have cluster of ragnarok to extinction. It lets us travel from ragna to extinction, but when trying to load in it doesnt let anyone spawn their survivors. All settings should be checked, downloads and uploads enabled etc. Whats wrong?

[winged junco]

@gritty cove hey I know im late to the game but the pve/pvp line, had this same issue and I just had to switch to 'All'

[frail crescent]

Ever since i swapped to the UseStore option on the savefiles, I will get some pretty large lag studders on the server. Like 10-20 seconds worth of delays randomly. Its not just me, others on server feel it as well. Unsure what to do about that

[daring locust]

Long shot here. I've attempted to set up a server for ASA. I have got to the point where the server startup completes and is advertising for join. However, I am unable to actually connect to the server. Steam can't seem to find it and if it does, it says the app id specified by the server is invalid. Wondering if anyone has had similar issues on initial creation or maybe has a log file for a server that has no issues that I could compare too.

[ocean idol]

Idk if anyone here has has this issue, but my dedicated server has been running for a couple of days, and many players (Even Myself) have reported lots of framedrops when near a dead dino’s body or many dinos, these being ps5 and xbox consoles, along with PC’s with high end hardware. What could this be? This did not happen previously, and I have tried everything to get it working but nothing seems to do the trick.

[tepid bison]

Q's: Is this parameter (-ForceRecreateSaveGameDatabaseOnFirstSave) to be added to any server? Should it be removed after that first start? Somehow I found that patch note kind of vague.

[smoky burrow]

We decided to not use it in the first place since we didn't run into issues, unless I learn this is improving anything but fixing the save breaking, we'll keep it that way, but more rigorous information would be nice

[timid dragon]

Was elderclaw breeding fixed yet or still crashes ever now and then?

[empty quiver]

Hello! I had a question about two Ark Survival Ascended Servers. Is there anyway to link a separate cluster to a new one? The owner left and gave me all their info and maps. Im not sure what to do next.

[near hawk]

make it so the new map have the same cluster id as the one u already had

[scenic ferry]

Does TamedDinoFoodDrainMultiplier still work? Wiki (server config page) doesn't list it...

[red juniper]

if you have the gamesave and profiles files just create 2 new server and copy and paste those files into the server folders then you can cluster those 2 servers

[red juniper]

it does yeah\

[scenic ferry]

Or is there any official documentation on what can go into game.ini & gameusersettings.ini? Since the wiki seems to be missing some

[scenic ferry]

so we have:
DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier
WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier
TamedDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier
and
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier?

update: wiki has it, but under TamedDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier

[red juniper]

DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier is for both tamed/wild , WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier only wild dinos, TamedDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier only tamed dinos

[scenic ferry]

ok, thanks

I have mutiple servers running from different folders; will a symbolic link on game.ini work?

so that I can have it in one place and link it to all the servers

[tropic dagger]

the xbox only online multiplayer button is permanently greyed out no matter what i do, i need to unselect it to join a server but its not possible, someone help

[dusky onyx]

i was wondering is it possible to use local rcon port in network , i am okay with not using rcon remotely. i suppose i just have to enable rcon port in firewall and server settings and keep router port settings unchanged

[ocean idol]

Q: I am trying to add Dinos from other dlc's/maps into Ragnarok, but they are not spawning, not even when having a 100% probability. What is causing this? anyone Knows?

[near hawk]

what u using? also ASA or ASE?

[ocean idol]

ASA, directly modifying the Game.ini File

[near hawk]

those are really messy to work with, there's mods that add dinos to a map

[ocean idol]

Yes, but I have not found a single mod that add managarmr's to Ragnarok

[near hawk]

try B+ Spawn Editor

[ocean idol]

for example, this was my latest test:

; --- Ragnarok Snow ---
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowForest_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="OWL_TEST",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Owl_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.0)))

[ocean idol]

I'm testing it, are changes instant?

[near hawk]

do a dinowipe

[rain sphinx]

hey me and some friends are having some trouble loading into a non dedicated server on survival evolved, is anyone able to help?

[prime smelt]

How can i fix bad service version error?

[tall ferry]

Did anyone here have success getting the discordgsm to work right for ASA servers?

It worked for a long time, then after an update it stopped working.

[pallid tusk]

any help would be greatly appreciated. so i’m on xbox and i can’t play any unofficial server i install the mods and then black screen with any server i try to join. pleaseee help

[ocean idol]

I did... still can't find them

mod seems useful but could something be blocking the new additions?

[timber smelt]

Does anyone know how to make the screen smaller. The buttons for which part of my hud is what is off the screen and I keep accidentally building stuff I don’t want to. I’ve been trying to memorize which buttons are which in the meantime. Any help is appreciated

[timber stirrup]

Any idea what the map file is called yet?

[arctic mica]

idk if it's been officially announced but my bet is on LostColony_WP

[echo pecan]

yeah LostColony_WP is the map id

[timber stirrup]

Cool wanted to get a head start updating some templates

[deft sun]

tell me what to do, I appeared on spawn, but I ended up in someone else's house and I can't get out.

[arctic mica]

If you're on asa you can hover your implant and respawn

If you're on ase run round and eat poop

[deft sun]

I have some valuable things with me

[arctic mica]

Can you grapple your body from the otherside?

[deft sun]

No, I appeared under someone's base

[arctic mica]

No gaps whatsoever?

[deft sun]

No

[arctic mica]

Might be gg then unless you can get them to help 😅

[deft sun]

Isn't there an administration that can help me, it's not according to the rules

[arctic mica]

I think there's a ticket system on the website but good luck 😅

That's for official though

On unofficial contact the admin? And official rules don't apply

[jovial lodge]

If anyone finds the config to allow Veilwyn transfers even if dino and item uploads are disabled I would love to know in the next 2-3 days.

[worthy roost]

how can you swap the map of a server while transferring survivors

[peak fern]

Anyone have recommendations between the POK manager from acekorneya , AMP by cubecoders, or any other things to help hosting on a personal linux server?

[jovial lodge]

I think you need to enable uploading of a survivor - maybe by not having a cluster defined you can upload and then download instead of doing a transfer.

[worthy roost]

But that would mean every survivor has to upload before transferring no? Maybe not actually tbf

but weve uploaded on an old server before

[echo pecan]

keep this channel on topic for server setup help please

#bobs-with-probs

[sleek nacelle]

Is anyone awake if we will be able to block veilwym xfers on the new map?

[visual pollen]

hello where do i go to change the difficulty from 5 to 7.5?

[bleak ivy]

nitrado?

[visual pollen]

yea i noticed i asked in the wrong discord! haha

[bleak ivy]

this also works, thats what #unofficial-setup-help is for.

I would just go into expert settings and change the OverrideOfficialDifficulty to 7.5, its in gameusersettings under ServerSettings.

[white pollen]

Anyone know if there is a way to kinda host a private server for me and like 4 friends

[opal osprey]

i've got 1 server that's been off for a while, that is just refusing to update... it'll says its updating, but when it comes online, it says its version 73.22... any idea how to force it to update? current version is 76.6

nevermind... ended up just blowing it away after copying the saves and config

[hybrid spindle]

Some advise for if it happens to you again in the future, while the server is offline delete the steamapps folder in the server directory and then run the update and it should actually update. A lot easier then reinstalling everything.

[opal osprey]

thanks! thats good to know

[crisp jasper]

AratPrime_WP or LostColony_WP ?

[grand totem]

So if i wanted to get a computer just to use as a personal dedicated server, for single player this is where to ask about that? And what would I need for hardware? I play on Xbox Series X with lots of mods and frequently get crashes, so my goal is to lighten the load on my systems memory to reduce that.

[near hawk]

i think it's the second one

the release crunch will say wich it is

[crisp jasper]

Thanks, I know it will I just have everything ready except that to launch it on my intro cluster

[lucid solstice]

16gb ram, no GPU, decent i5 or equivalent should cost between 120 and 250 refurb on Amazon.

[lucid solstice]

I run 2 4 player servers at a time on that.

[broken socket]

rip

[lucid solstice]

It fits what they asked for lol

[grand totem]

..do I need stronger specs or...the 'lol' is causing concern 😅

[foggy plinth]

Does anyone know where i can find offi server settings?

[bleak ivy]

a single person shouldn't require more than what they said. I also use a 16GB ram machine, don't know the CPU but its not a good one.

[celest halo]

that all depends on how many maps you want to run at the same time

1-2 maps for yourself it be fine

[daring locust]

In case anyone has a similar issue and happens to search the channel later, it was not steam related. I simply did not follow the instructions close enough on the wiki. There are additional requirements for hardware running Windows. Additionally, had to have TLS 1.2 enabled.

[void ledge]

anyone know if there will there be a way for Unofficial server owners to do the same with Veilwyns as the official servers? My community really wants to do this but I'm not sure how it would be achieved in the ini?

[frail crescent]

No info on this. Probably wont be until it actually releases

[spring cairn]

Is there a way to change an Xbox player's profile to a Steam account? A player has changed from Xbox to PC, and wants to make sure their character level and cosmetics, and explorer notes etc. are copied over.

[frail crescent]

Character should be saved on the server. Cosmetics MIGHT save over, but those can be reapplied easy. It should follow EOS ID

[spring cairn]

All the .arkprofile files I believe are part of the Ragnarok_WP.ark file, so editing might be difficult.

[celest halo]

need to wait for WC to release it, and having a server does not mean you get it sooner, unofficial normaly gets it last

[frail crescent]

Yeah its not really editable in the first place anyhow, previously you could restore a backed up copy. If you run -BackupTransferPlayerDatas it will create a Temp Profile in teh directory until the next worldsave

[spring cairn]

If I do this, can I edit the arkprofile file and rename it to their new ID, and then ARK will repack it back into the .ark file?

It's seeming easier to just run commands to bring their survivor level up, and have them grab their stuff of their other character.

The hard part, is all the explorer notes and survivor level bonuses for killing the bosses. 😭

[celest halo]

and that is why i never use the -usestore option

[cobalt loom]

The bosses there's a command for that. Or can just spawn them in and kill it w/ admin tool. I did that after a rockwell fight bugged.
