#unofficial-setup-help

Hey, I'm currently trying to set up my pc unofficial server and for some reason certain mod engrams are not learnable. I have it set to auto engrams but it doesn't unlock them and you can't do it manually.
So far I've noticed it with the Gaia and wardrobe mod I'm using.
Any help would be greatly appreciated 💜
Is there any good mod to show how much damage you do?
There is a vanilla thing that enables damage numbers
Where do i turn it on i have looked everywhere
There is a line in the gameusersetting.ini file. It's something like showfloatingdamagetext=false/true. Make it true
Anyone want to play pve mobile
The server setting "Dino Character Stamina Drain" is not working. Changing the value seems to have no effect on my unofficial server. @stark warren @proven prawn @zealous aurora
Fixing the level 400 wild rexes spawning on Lost Island would be great.
We have the server max wild dino level at 150. Yet 400s are spawning.
Hello everyone 🙂
I was looking for help as i create non dedicated server but when my friend tries to join me .. he can successfully find my server in the list but keep getting "Request time out" .. i looked up this issue and learned that need to open ports .. i followed several steps but still no luck
Platform : Epic games
I’ve got a non dedicated pc ark thing set up with nitrado and I’m wanting to increase the amount of element dropped per kill from the bosses so I don’t have to sit there with my mates for hours doing boss fights I know I have to use expert settings but what’s the actual code for editing the boss drops
The bosses on Val is monkey dragon manticore
If anyone knows the help is greatly appreciated
I dont think you can edit Val's boss loot table. I know you can edit Ragnarok's.
why would you be able to edit one but not the other :P
I don't know. You couldn't when the map dropped.
Even with beacon.
might just not have gotten the right path 
Hi who know dscrd of lords server
I tried several times the first year it dropped and gave up.
The message of the day? You can edit the timer in the gus.ini
I have restart scheduled every 12 hours. And want to place 5 min warnings for those
As i asked a full tutorial on its functions
And how it works
I find many links showing its there. It exists. But no step by step on using it
Mobile
Why can one of my friend not join my unofficial server ( He can't find it ) but another friend can
when searching for the server is password protected checked? if so uncheck it then try
Askin here is like askin google. You get every answer other than the specific one you require
Placing random announcement is easy BUT, time is generic function so you have to be online to make a proper time stamp? and is there a way to undo an announcement?
Can more than one be in use?
Multiple announcements possible????
😂
Using this service is like walking through a glass house full of nic naks.
In a blindfold
With shoe laces tied together
😂
with a server setting reflecting 150 max dinos what's roughly the max % on airdrop weapons/tools?
Keep in mind sometimes the damage number render calculations during OSDs can crash extinction maps. Something like Lethal's PvP Plus plugin can be configured to only show your party's damage numbers to just your party and not the rest of the server. Work's well in preventing this particular crash scenario.
hello, so i am looking for someone that is about to start its own cluster, like waaay before it has 1k users in its discord. how do i go about that? how? what channel do i post stuff like that?
Disable the spawn for now
how do i allow building in artifact caves
and how do i allow grappling in artifact caves
It's automatically enabled
no its not
ice queen cave
"cant use this here"
lifeslabyrinth
"cant use this here"
certain caves have it disabled because it ruins the point of the cave
not sure if there's any way to enable it, but you can check in https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Server_Configuration
on singleplayer you can just enable cave building using one of the checkboxes in settings
on pvp it's auto enabled iirc
Hey is someone confident with commands? playercommand Ascend3 how can o do this for another player who shouldnt get the admin passwort
Possible that rex spawn is fucked on lost Island?
They spawn with crazy high lvls
Anyone wanna play some primal fear?
sure
Yes
Anyone have GB7 discord they can send me
tWMEYxjAG3
@noble badge thanks man been looking for 2 days the one on the server said expired
anyone know any servers wiping today?
lmk if it works lol np
It did
You too you serveur is cut during a certain time ?
is anyone familiar with hosting a cluster on multiple PCs? im using symlink and while the server are all on the same cluster my character profile wont make its way to the 2nd pc's map
nitrado server have a problem ?
How do I talk to local on ps4
Is 24k health and 15k damage a hit with a rhino good enough to kill the center fight on alpha
A question. Was talking to Aaron Longstaff on YT and now want to ask is it possible to build like a big building or base or something then upload it as one big placeable to the workshop or is that not a thing in ark?
Not a thing in vanilla, though there might be a mod that could do that
hmm...so we would need a mod to make the pre-built base into a placeable mod? Sorry if I'm a little confused here, just am trying to get it figured out. Aaron said he wouldn't mind uploading his pre-built bases and stuff to the workshop if it could be figured out 😅
Probably lol
oh geez lmao that sounds a bit complicated. would still be faster than trying to rebuild those bases of his just trying to copy his videos though. thank you for the answer, ^^
@mental jolt check in #800537518843756544 for server advertising or ask in #ark-survival-ascended/#general
oh okay im sorry
so i am trying to join my friend his non dedicated server we both play on steam but i get timeout issues while my other friend can join him without any troubles are there fixes for this?
Maybe there's something you can do with the Structure Saver mod?
Wouldnt be directly though the workshop and I have no idea how it works but maybe there's something it can do
hmmm...i never realized that was even a thing. Im definitely gonna check it out and see what its like. All I can think after more looking into it is either what you just said or just have him somehow put up his entire saved map as it is with the stuff built on and just use his own 'save' in a sense?
Yeah, probably
Is anyone having issues with transferring to Lost Island? Losing your toon when you do..
I just went through over an hour with my host and we can't figure out what the problem is. Just curious if anyone else has seen this issue. You can transfer out but not in. From any map. We removed the mods. Still won't work.
Got downloads enabled on it?
Is anyone aware of a way to reduce crafting costs or blueprint costs for all items? I use the upgrade station and once fully upgraded and ascendant as you can imagine the blueprint requires insane levels of materials even for modded. Ideally I'd like a way to just reduce blueprint mat cost but I can't find any way to do that, so is anyone aware of a way to reduce material costs for all items?
I don't think there is a way. If you want to take less time to grind out the resources, you can increase farming settings.
I have, but for instance the sword I'm trying to make requires 41,000 metal. I'm trying to stack up 20 mantis for a boss fight each with that sword. Even with increased harvest amounts, reduced carry weight, increased stack size, it's still rough lol.
Anky is the best choice
I using the mining drill and get 1000 metal from a rock in about 3 seconds with my settings and have a bunch of teleporters are different high quality metal nodes and still is a chore
You can edit crafting costs, and since you're on pc, you can download an app called beacon. It has a ton of resources, and you can edit a lot.
The anky has reduced wieght for metal
Yeah, they're not as fast as a person sprinting around with the mining drill though. Especially if they're spread out, since the Anky moves so slow. Even carrying the anky seems slower than using the drill.
Thats not what they're talking about. They're talking about how expensive some of the blueprints can be.
For individual items or all? I couldn't find anything googling it
You can do individual items, I used beacon quite often.
I'd settle for just specific items requiring less crafting materials but preferably I'd like to just do everything since I like to min/max gear with the upgrade station mod.
I understand that
Alright, thank you both!
Yours welcome
Here is the link to download beacon
Make sure you're on PC, there isnt a mobile app.
With beacon you can tell it to reduce the crafting cost of all items
For example make them 50% cheaper
Or 10%
Etx
For mass changing that is
There's ninja
ninja is good at this
Or you can on an individual level edit to your preferred cost
I am a coder haha @olive talon
The option I'm looking for is on the paid version 😦 It seems really nice, but the only setting I'm worried about is that. I might have to look into it a bit more. $15 for the one feature I want I think I might just suffer until I look into Beacon more lol.
I have a pastebin with cost edit for free @tall grotto
I'm glad to know it's an option though, I have about every other setting on my server tweaked this is just one of the last little things.
I made it using beacon
Oh really? Maybe I misread
Nah I only just mentioned it
@quick vortex look in #800537518843756544 or #800537627752398899 , this channel is dedicated to server setup help and such.
I understand not everyone can afford beacon straight up
So I make free code sometimes and put it in my pastebin
The omni version is also only a one time payment, but if you're rarely ever going to use it, ninja is quite good at helping 😉
Ideally though beacon is highly reconmend. It worth the price
there is also the free beacon :P it still helps with a bunch of stuff 🤷
I bet it is, I woulda probably bought it right away had I known about it before haha. I've just had my server for months and months so I've adjusted everything else to my liking, minus that one thing. I'll check out the free version.
Glad we could help, sorry we just kind of descended on you 😂
yeah, I did the same thing 😂 I found out about beacon after I set everything up
I doubt boss will murder me but here ya go https://pastebin.com/u/Ninjakiller
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Haha it's okay, I appreciate it. I wasn't honestly expecting to hear a reasonable solution, so I'm glad there was.
Somewhere in there is the codes I have
Just keep in mind that if you choose the 50% crafting cost one. All BP will be 50% cheaper
So if a prim item like 10 fiber it be now 5
But at least the item won't be 500 fiber for Ascent now it be 250
Very bad example but you get the point
Hey, whatever it takes to not have to farm 41,077 metal and 12,323 hide for all 20 swords I want to craft. I really appreciate it!
I wish I could say those numbers are exaggerated, but they're not. :\
The blueprint cost goes up with that stuff?
I was trying to figure out how swapping from Ragnarok to Lost Island made my crazy blueprints cost way more, but I did turn up the loot quality from drops and I think another loot ini setting by like 5x. I could have sword on the other map the same sword was only 10-11k metal which isn't bad at all.
Wow, I had no idea lol. Thanks for explaining that to me T_T
You can also clamp items to, so for example make it so they can only do 200 damage as max.
That will make it cheaper too
Since its stats can not go higher then no increased cost
Well, to be honest I have my melee settings cranked up and the max level at 300 for regular mobs. So I like grabbing max level Mantis, jacking up their melee to 2000%+ and then putting a 700% asecdant sword in their hand. Honestly with that I feel like they out dps my wyverns. I like to meme with silly setups like this lol.
Then breed and try and mutate the melee stats further. It's insanely overkill in the end but it's hilarious.
In your case I would just make the items cheaper
Reduces hassle
Then allows you to keep what you got
I agree, thank you for all your time and the link. I really appreciate it!
Happy to help
I know someone who has a drake tek saddle bp that takes 3.1 million metal :P
They’re pretty boosted lol

hello can someone help me to create an dedicated server? please guys
If u help me get the thylacoleo
google/youtube is your best friend
Of course. It's got to be a problem on wildcards end because we exhausted everything. We removed mods to eliminate that. Did fresh new games..they verified there files as well to make sure it wasn't something corrupt on their end.
What's your host? Try check the ini itself for the downloads option being both on, and not a double entry, and note it is seperate to the option for survivor uploads
I can't say I recall seeing anyone else mention it at least
is it enabled or disabled by default
Enabled probably but sometimes hosts have things set different
can anyone help. we have HarvestAmountMultiplier=10 but on server only collect 2. the setting is in general =10 and expert mode game ini = 10 ideas???
i need a tribe for any server
How do unofficials work? Can i play on all maps still?
unofficials are simply private hosted servers, they can have clusters with all maps, or not, it depends on the unofficial itself
Is there anyway to force a NPCSpawnEntryContainer to spawn particular wild dino? I know of ConfigOverrideNPC but that too isnt working. Example Having X-Megs on Lost Island.
Yes there is, you can define the container and use the add function
The container listings for LI can be found https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_entries#Lost_Island
If you want to add them to it without replacement
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ocean_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="",EntryWeight=0.050000,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Ocean_Megalodon_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Ocean_Megalodon_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.070000)))
Would add X-Megs to the ocean along side regular
Thanks for the reply. Im using Beacon and atm on PS4. I am basically rewriting the entire ocean NPCspawn entry, and having the x-meg spawn along with its normal version. but have yet to see any X-variants of them. I made their weight at 1 just to make sure its working but none have appeared. Is it normal for some dinos not work on certian maps or SpawnContainers?
Thx. I just reported it to wildcard as a bug. Everything is right on my end.
Yes, some dinos don't spawn on some maps. X dinos can be hit or miss when it comes to them spawning.
In my experience when you are adding creatures that are not native to the map a single creature replacement wont work. You need to actually add them into the map via the spawn code used above.
Once they are in the map your options increase, for example I added R reaper queens in the desert and after that I made it in beacon where it has a 50% chance to either spawn and R Reaper Queen or a Normal Aberration Queen (did not need to add the normal Reaper queen via code since the R one was now technically naturally spawning)
hello all, a question please. how can i join a specific unofficial server here, i dont how to enable the discord server here
when i say a sspecific, i mean a specfic server discord, a spanish one
Here is an example code I use. I do use a replacement within the entry that replaces the normal dino with its variant.
ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ocean_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Sharkies",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Megalodon_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1),NPCRandomSpawnClassWeights=((FromClass="Megalodon_Character_BP_C",ToClasses=("Megalodon_Character_BP_C","Ocean_Megalodon_Character_BP_C"),Weights=(50,50))))))
X megs won't spawn because they'll get turned into normal and alpha megs by alpha random replacement
only fixable with mods
Is that your whole code?
Or only a part of it
nitrado server bug ?
Its all of it but I should of added I usually have two reg megs. one being a around .5 chance of spawning in. and It would have other creatures as well. I know Lost Island has multiple ocean spawncontiners. so far I only see one regular meg or two regular megs.
You removed everything but megs from that container
override replaces everything there with only that
yes, for brevity sake. since character limits.
what would be the difference, other than just having default things spawning in
The difference is that for Override you have to rewrite the whole container to add one creature. Instead of writing just 1 spawn
i mean yeah it'll work but its a hell of a lot more work for 0 reason
I mean unless you want it to be only megs. It's good for that
Override I generally only use if I'm full on reworking an entire container. It's generally better to use even just Subtract if theres something in it I don't want
Yea i mainly use Override since I tend to redo the entire container or edit it with simplified spawns included but curious if the other functions differently? I guess if it doesnt work it doesnt, but also curious if the spawncontainers have innate properties that can affect NPCs within them like cave containers making things untameable, and disable their wander AI. At least the LostIsland abb cave spawns right now just spawn on top of each other and sit there.
Ahh I see, my bad. I assumed it was being used as a substitute for Add, sorry
In your case the X megs specifically won't work due to alpha random replacements and there's nothing you can do about that since you mentioned you were on PS4, right?
And the spawners themselves hold properties like untameable yeah, not something you can alter with INI (containers arent the same as spawners themselves)
They're probably not quite the same on a technical level, but functionally, Override and Add will behave the same
Aside from ofc one removing all prior spawns in the container
my server keeps shutting down, i have to restart it and sometimes it doesn't work at all for a night. It makes you too ?
Sadly yeah on PS4 atm. so can do only so much but still seeing what I can do with it. thanks!

oh
my bad
Hey! Quick question, and sorry if this is off topic from what you guys are speaking about. But moving through servers- does it delete what you left in the original server? Cause I’d like to move but not stay I want to come back
It will stay until the next update hits then will be wiped. If you are talking about map switches on the server that is. Transferring between should be no problem unless it will decay
Anyone know when unofficial servers will be getting the new update? The official is on v942.33 but my cluster is only on v942.26
I just want the microbe swarm to spawn so I can get me a turtle on lost island. But that’s newer versions
Could just ini them in until you get the update
I’ve tried doing that before and everything worked but the swarm
Rip
I did a few do tames but would rather tame as intended
Tyvm
👍
Hi to all
Oh
Is there like a mod or something for Ragnarok that enables Magmasaurs or atleast their eggs so I can actually own one?
I believe it would be an admin spawn thing.
gfi Egg_Cherufe_Fertilized 1 1 0
That will give a fertilized magmasaur egg. You’ll need sulfer to raise it. Or can use a different code to spawn a full grown tamed one as well.
Oh, sad. Thanks tho!
🙂 NP
I added them via .ini on my server, but they probably won't produce eggs in this way, right?
The mod Ragnarok Plus adds them to the lava cave near the trench, but also adds quite a bit more. You can use the mod Simple Spawners to directly add nests and magmas to whatever area you want.
You the best!
Ragnarok Plus [Discontinued] by Dragonborn
This one?
Yes but as it states its discontinued, so if there's any issues I dont think anyone can help. Simple Spawners would be a better option.
Alrighty, thank you! :)
You're welcome, make sure to read the mod page instructions 😁 have a good day!
You too!
Does anyone know the #LORDS discord server?
anyone has a small community pve server?

Anyone ever had problems with auto turrets? Especially the S+ turrets? I put some on my quetz platform, so far so good, they are shooting aswell but it seems like they don't deal torpor nor do damage to wild dinos
Anyone have a problem spawning on lost island? The aquatic dino has a lot of spawn causing lag.
I have issues with my The Lost Island server. Sadly have to a wipe to clean it as I seem to have to many issues with it.
'issues'?
I have so many players saying there to much lag and they seem to see through the grounds.
when your knocking a mosa with your tuso
do you just right click one time and wait while its holding?

Where would be a good place on lost island to custom spawn shadowmanes?
Swamp
Like by monkey temple maybe?
I'd just stick them in all the swamp containers rarely tbh
Theyd be really cool in ab cave if it was bigger
Quick question I run a server and I’m trying to figure out how to increase the wyvern egg spawn rate and I’m not having any luck if anyone knows how please message me the answer please and thank you.
You cant
Best bet would be to increase wyvern spawns

Does anyone know how to fix ark survival dlc problem for steam. I using large hard drive to hold my game; do I need to make room to allow the doc contents to play
(PS4) (Lost Island) I am running my own server my member and I weren't able to find Parakeet Swarm for Megachelon. I tried spawning but nothing came... Anyone has any idea?
Good morning guys i need some help please. I have nitrado server and im in genesis 1 rite now but every time i do a mission it gives me 0 Hexagon, any help?
Is modding in epic games as simple as steam or does it need extra stuff?
There currently is no mod support for epic games
Oh, thanks
You could try in the ini files and add them to the spawn point in the ocean allow them to spawn in. As I'm assuming you used the admin command to Spawn them?
I checked in the spawn point, they are there but I don't see them 🥺
@spice crown sorry dude. Guess it's broken in the base game code also then.
Are you on steam or epic?
PS4 I'm trying adding now the swarms with the spawn point of Megachelon, let's see
Oh sorry, I was going to suggest a mod, on ps4/xbox, ini is about the only way.

Greetings. My arkmanager says that my server is running and ready, and Steam favorite servers show it online and showing the map, but Ark says "No sessions found"... any ideas?
So trying to play a non-dedicated session of ark with a friend but neither of us are able to join the other. We're both on steam, any ideas? Tried looking back through search bar to find something but was of little help
make sure your search settings are correct (password, map, etc)
What does it say when you try join?
It will just stay on the main menu screen for a little bit before saying 'host connection timeout' and then im just sitting in the main menu even more
Have you tried joining through steam invites?
i have, both from being invited and just clicking their name and hitting join game
ANy mods?
Does anyone wanna play and be friends?
mhm a few which we both already have downloaded together
Try full reinstall them (check pins in #bobs-with-probs for how). Might be a mismatch
hey i need some one to play with on ark
Is there anyone I can play with?
Anyone here running a NITRADO server and keep getting kicked out of your own server?
FPlatformMisc::RequestExit(1) This is the error it keeps giving
Any ideas?
@humble thicket
Hmm platform. Do you have any weird settings for platforms? Or any platform mods?
M
New server here: our loot crate drops usually happen to land on almost perpendicular surfaces (like mountain sides where you can’t land and pick them). Is there a way to set it so that it doesn’t happen?
Also, does anyone have any suggestion for egg hatching/baby maturing, so that we can get, let’s say, a ptero from baby to adult in 1-2 hours, securing a 100% imprint (either giving it care once, twice… give all your best suggestions)?
For the latter, use BabyImprintAmountMultiplier in Game.ini to boost the % you get per imprint. You then have more freedom with mat and imprint speed

Hey, is this where I should ask for help with setting up a server?
I want my breeding timers to be somewhere around 9 to 14 hours something like that. what would I need to put in setting to have it around that?
I am currently doing a fresh install of the Server Manager. Once this is finished downloading, though, I will let you know and you can point me in the right direction. yeah?
Hello everybody, my friend and I changed from playstation to pc now we want to search for a good unofficial cluster but it seems like every server is kinda dead because there is nobody online re we doing something wrong or are there not much active unofficial servers? If you know an answer pls @ me oder pm me
Im much more familiar with the ini itself, but yeah
Okay. It is verifying the install of the server itself rn. The issue I was having before was i would start the server, but it would not be visible both in game nor in the steam server view thing. I am pretty certain I port forwarded correctly.
Alright. It just finished installing the server and I have the option to start it up. Is there anything i should look at before giving it a try?
If you have mods, not showing up could also be an issue with either the server or you not being up to date, so could check that too
Like full reinstall mods
There are no mods. its a fresh vanilla server
i started it up fully, and it is still not showin gup
I can't share a screen shot here, but I did notice the terminal says "SteamSocketsOpenSource: gethostname failed ()" and "gethostbyname failed()". Idk if that matters or not

You can't without getting a server
Ok
@proven prawn can we get a code to add to ini for beehives? Been waiting 6 months for an ark fix but poor unofficial doesn't matter 😒
whats a good server hosting for a small group of like 10 ppl
Is the problem too few spawns ? You can turn up the qty that gets spawned which works as a fix (ini) files
No spawns for unofficial since June. Have placed multiple different ini codes but need to run 10 to 20 wipes just to get a couple to spawn. Then once they're harvested they don't come back.
Have submitted tickets but they have a sucks to be you vibe cos we're not important like official.
You can add a spawner mod to place them where you want
I used DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Bee",OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=2.000000,SpawnWeightMultiplier=10.000000)
Hello, I was trying to connect with my friend's game, she added mods, and when I try to join it tells me "to ensure that my friend's mods are all up to date" and I am having a hard time connecting but my other friend is able to join. Anyone able to help
This worked nicely raising the number of spawns and a daily wild wipe. There is a command that you can also run to count the number of spawns that are live on the map at any one time
Do you have all the mods they added?
Like on her steam account for the game? Because it was not a problem to join until she added a new one yesterday.
No I mean on your pc, have you installed all the mods she added to the server. Everyone who wants to play needs to have all the mods
It all updated automatically so whichever ones she has and I added some of my own but that was after I had a hard time joining
It doesn't automatically install the server mods when you join the server, you have to already have them installed on everyone's pc who wants to get on the server
When I clicked to join her originally, it came up with installing all of the mods she had in the bottom right hand corner
Try manually installing the new one she added and then join, it'll work
So that message is saying "Mod Version Mismatch: Please ensure the Server you are attempting to join is running the latest version of all Mod content"
Oh ok, in that case you probably have a more recent version of a mod than the one she used
Thanks, I got rid of the mods that my friend got rid of
Hey, are you using the ARK server manager?
no, my friend's is using a non-dedicated server
We are mainly using steam for most things
Ah, okay. Sorry for pinging you 🙂
np
It's still giving me the same message
Right, if she's using a less updated version, she's going to have to update it
Nothing you can do
But my other friend is able to join without a problem
They probably also have the outdated version
Well I unsubscribed to everything and reinstalled through Ark when I join my friend's game but it still give me the same message
Hi yall, im playing on a unofficial server and im pretty sure the difficulty is messed up since the highest dinos i see are 40, is there any way to change it in-game?
If you’re on the island, scorched, ab or ext that is normal, level distribution sucks on those maps
If you’re on the free maps or the genesis maps then either you’re really unlucky or yeah something is messed up
Im on the center
I don't know if it messes with the things you can pull out of drops or anything but i've only gotten 1 journeyman crossbow so far
It does
Anyways I’d check to make sure if the override is set at 5 and the offset is set to 1
How do I check that?
Is it your server or someone else’s
Someone else's but I have admin perms
Are you able to access the ini?
Difficulty can be change in : game.ini, by using a command (don't remember wich one XD) or in the main menu if it's a solo game
Don’t trust that command
And the “main menu” difficulty is barely customizable at all
Dont' trust the "level distribution" thing

It doesn't change between maps
No it doesn't, proofs? XD
I sent you a dm since i can't send screenshots is that what you're talking about @halcyon shadow
Literally in the files XD
Which files?what line?
I’m sorry I can’t help you any further as I have about zero experience with how to get to ini on servers
And yea like I said be4 i'v 3k hours
Go play on the island for 10 hours
Tell me how many high levels you see
Then go play on gen 2 for 10 hours
And tell me how many high levels you see
I played on each map and already finished this game and i'v never seen an huge difference, and, you still have no proofs
Ask anyone who knows anything, there is a vast difference
There is an entire mod dedicated to changing the level distribution so that it is the same on all maps
Until you don't have proofs I don't trust you, last time you said than I had no proofs for the fact than there's almost every time 1 Rex at the carno island, now it's the opposite, i'v never seen an "huge" difference between levels in every map, then only thing that change is spawns
Theres a difference between now and last time
There really is
Last time I was unhappy with your word choice
This time it is an actual feature that 99% of everyone knows
You’re either using a mod that affects it and you don’t know it, or are extremely lucky
Obviously if there is 20 spinos at the same place in gen 2 you have higher chances to find an hl than in the island but lvl don't change, you siad than it's in the code, where?
I don’t have access to the code
And yes, level distribution changes a ton
Hello - anybody here familair with Nitrado server and editing server settings? Have a simple question.
Have you ever noticed that youve never found a lvl 5 or lvl 10 on any of the free maps or gen 1/2
Thats because it is coded in the game to be impossible to find one
You're right on this one
on this one
Lol
But it's not only on gen1/2 or on free maps it's on all maps
Then you’re definitely using a mod lol
So is it possible for me to fix it on the server without having to go into the code (with commands or something)?
No I'm not using mods, except spyglass and stuff like that
What mods are you using, all of them
Those are not from the game
And how do you know that
Nope
Awesome spyglass, soûl, server management and s+ ( btw just found a glitch that can make crash any server with ss or s+)
👍
Cause you don't extract images of the spawn rates as a.jpg file
Idk what soul or server management are but the second one sounds like it would maybe increase distribution
Also could you please not share
…this is a bar graph made by someone who read the distribution using a savefile reader
I'll not share this exploit I'll keep it for myself 😈 , soûl is Dino storage it's like better cryopods if you don't know it then you really never played ark be4, server management is a server management thing to change some settings faster, but can't change spawns with it
Since when was dsv2 called soul lol
never
You Really never played ark.... And you tried to give lessons to someone who have 3k hours?
For the love of god shut up about how many hours you have
3k isn’t even that much in this community
I know, but you don't give lessons when you never played to it
And if you think I’ve never played ark…
- Look at my name. It is teal because I have ambassador role. Ambassador role means I regularly help people in this discord and give consistent accurate information
- Search up
from:Perry the Maewing#3745in this server
I don't care about roles
Cares about hours but not roles lol
🤣 roles mean nothing
Anyways suit yourself
But theres about 7 people with the ambassador role in this discord, all of which give accurate information
But hours do? Ridiculous frame of mind lol
Perrys a reliable information source
Yay thx bluestone
Y'all dont have to bicker tho lol
Never mind i'v got work to do, but you can't deny when I say something just by saying " you don't have proofs" and when you say something without proof s just show me " extracted game graphs"
Sorry I take after bobster too much lol
Its ok. People dont get along sometimes. No big deal
I think i argue way more than you
I see you're going for the same trick as me
flashback to that time when you thought only broodmother gives tek replicator
Gotta flex the roles sometime lol
Hush, that never happened
ah yes, of course
anyway, Imma read this argument for entertainment since I don't want to continue watching attack on titan rn
Please do
Ping me with your opinion on it and I’ll check later, because I have to sleep
yeah, I can confirm that perry is indeed correct
alright, gn
at the very least with this statement

lol
alright this time I know that perry is indeed correct and the other guy doesn't know what he's talking about
can confirm
am using level changing mod
the graph's bullshit but official modded maps + one of the Genesis maps (or both, don't remember) are configured to have the levels "lean" towards the maximum level [of a given ramp segment] by 50%.
to show on an example, for 40% of wyvs the level matches (R+(5-R)*0.5)*difficulty where R = rng(1, 5)
Ah the map is wrong, rip
Got it off some person and I’d seen it before, figured it was correct lol
we probly have it on the wiki somewhere too. it's based on estimations tho.
Anyways doesn’t change much other than specific info that only mattered for details
estimations aren't "bullshit" though
bullshit estimations are bullshit
they are bullshit estimations though.
you'll generally see levels on those maps get "round up" in several points, some levels will be eliminated entirely. for difficulty = 1, that's going to visible in the lower bounds of ranges: 1-5, 6-12, 13-20, 21-30
I shall remember this
doesn't apply to me anyway
the higher the randomised level, the lower the bump tho.
CDL does its own random shit
I see level 20's and 15's
but also a higher amount of high levels, which is what I want, so whatever
it's just that I can't point towards my experience with level distribution since my main experience is with modified level distribution
gn
I'm hurt by this comment
can't Perry purchase one of you at a supermar- wait i think i confused mods
Lol
Only graphic that ive had on hand because it communicates the general idea well enough
well i've called it bullshit, sorry
k
like three or four times.
Thats fine, I seexD kinda is
But like it still shows the concept
eh, good enough for its purpose
yeah good enough to show how it eliminates some levels i guess
It's more about the rarity of levels i used it in relation to more tbh
i use larkator screenshots for eliminating levels
I lost all the ones I used to use to show Island tho, need to get some new ones
That's Rag
also have some screenshots of the lerp but turns out i only have gen, rag and ci and none of the lower distrib maps so
oops
should probably get some of that if i can be fucked loading a map in the adk
nah, let's fuck up some yuuman skulls with hammers instead
xD yeah not rn dw
speaking of tho
that is the correct value im looking at there right?
yuuman
yuuuuuman
yes
oi don't mock me meanstah
I'm asking, that's the opposite of mocking
cool ty, thought so but wanted to make absolutely sure i wasnt looking at completely the wrong thingxD
I see
well i might have gotten instantly distracted trying to find my levels screenshots soon as i booted by pc so uh give me a few min to actually get tea. or coffee
ok
i slept 4 hours and plan to sleep more later idk what to drnink
i've got like 2 litres of yorkshire rn
mmmmmmmmm
tea, of course
tea superiority
also this is #unofficial-setup-help
oops
yup, we're unofficially discussing tea.
xD
good enough
So you're back 😁 👋
there's a recruitment channel, go there
Sorry to be a bother, I am still learning on how to run a server. The highest level we can get to is 104, but there are engrams up to level 135. We went and did beat the end boss and was only able to learn hair styles? anyways, when I look at the settings it says ascension "yes" we did get the Alpha Ascension implant from beating the boss. But how do we get the last of those few engrams?
You'll have to use auto-unlocks since you won't be able to kill the bosses to unlock them otherwise anyway
Same code can be used to change levels
you have to kill all the bosses?
auto unlock is on
yeah tekgrams are locked behind boss kills
Ah, then just change their levels
sec and ill grab an example
it will not let me change the ascension "yes" in the settings on Beacon
No idea what that does
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_DeathwormSaddle_C", EngramHidden=false, EngramPointsCost=1, EngramLevelRequirement=60, RemoveEngramPreReq=true)
code I have, example making in this case a mod's deathworm saddle unlock at level 60
Make a line for each tekgram, replace EngramClassName with the one for each of the tekgrams and change EngramLevelRequirement to whatever level you want them to unlock at
Goes in Game.ini
This page contains a list of known engram class names from ARK: Survival Evolved shown in alphabetical order. The list is meant to be used in some directives of the server configuration. If you need in-game information about engrams see instead Engrams or Engrams (Primitive Plus).
I will give it a go, thank you
these are s+ engrams so bosses do not matter, would this work with S+?
kind of, more like in a limbo
@upbeat hedge If you cant post links there is a reason.. Just go to #800537627752398899 or #800537518843756544 and ask if someone search a server then dm the link if yes
Yeah
I'm having a dedicated server issue. I can play on my dedicated server (hosted locally) all day with zero issues. But once I have friends connect from outside my house, we all start randomly getting d/c. Any ideas?
It's a VM on a beefy box, 12 vCPU, 24g memory, 600g SSD
that's the VM size, not the physical host, it's got more resources than that.
and when it kicks us it kicks all of us. It's really strange.
can i join a low boost like 5 or 10x unoficial tribe have some stuff preferabley or whatever
Excited to start my own cluster finally ☺️ any tips would be great. Renting via nitrado and using Beacon Omni to help. Going for slightly boosted but balanced settings. And longer decay times so those who can’t play regularly don’t have to worry about their stuff despawning. (PVE)
Can we have a non dedicated server that allows you to get away from host
anyone else on console got the issue where there sinomacrops randomly die while their flying on a mount?
Only way for console players to experience the non host barrier currently is to be on their own dedicated server. Such as making another PlayStation host the world and join that or have your own paid server.
@rich rapids please use #ark-survival-ascended or #bobs-with-probs, this channel is for unofficial server setups.
Hi I asked this last night and didn't really find any solution,
im playing on a unofficial server and im pretty sure the difficulty is messed up since the highest dinos i see are 40, is there any way to change it in-game? (I can do admin commands, but someone told me something about having to change a file?)
Check the pinned messages in #bobs-with-probs for the OverrideOfficialDifficulty
Thank you, am I able to do it or the server owner only?
The server owner would need to
Will someone smarter than me help set up a server. Already have it rented just lacking brain cells to set it up.
With what specifically?
getting rates set up, dino levels and player levels, mods etc
I mean like.. how to achieve X rates/engram edits, etc?
Any suggestions for servers? PVP with 5-10x multipliers - preferably alot of good mods
Check in #800537518843756544
Hey can anyone give me a hand with my server? I was finally able to connect to it locally but I still cannot see it online. I would appreciate it a lot :)]
Not the place for outside issues.
My bad
Since you are on computer there is a program called beacon you can get. It has a free and paid version (that being 1 one off $15) but it will allow you to customize 99.9% of your server super easy, best part is if you have a Nitrado server you can link beacon to it and it will transfer all the changes for you. Otherwise you will have to do it yourself
No one available to help me out?
Youre likely better off asking the support team of your server provider :[
I am hosting it myself from my own computer using ASM. So I dont think I have any other option than here or ASM's discord (which isn't very lively)
I dont know much abt server hosting sadly, if you havent tried already you should mssge the ASM discord
I have, unfortunately. If you know anyone that knows anything about setting these things up, I would appreciate it if you could send them my way. I have followed like 3 different guides to a T and I still cannot figure it out :/
I can see if my girlfriend is willing to help, shes a tech worker and manages all our game servers
That would be pretty cool. Any help would be awesome
yah yah ill ask her :)
i spoke w her and she says she wouldnt know </3 her thing is more minecraft servers n such
shes never heard of ASM and ark is new to her as a whole
Ah, okay. Well, thank you for trying. its the more than what i've gotten so far
😔 take a break n come back to it when ur refreshed. u deserve some relaxation
@dense heath thete are ports you need to open in your router and rout to your server for them to be seen online...
Yes, I am aware. and to my knowledge they are completely forwarded correclty
correctly
thats all i can think of if the server is running
I agree, that should be the first thing to check. but I have checked it a good 20 times and I am very certain they are forwarded
ohhhh ya.. asm firewall feature is kinda buggy for me i had to manualy make a firewal rule for shootergamserver.exex
I went into my firewall and just opened up the ports it needs. it shouldnt need to be program specific. Though, all I could think to do were inbound rules. are there any outbound rules I need to make?
can u ping the ports from an computer from outide the network
(though, I dont think this is the answer because I took the firewall down completely and it still didnt want to work
I can give that a shot
ya u can test that way too. then likely your router does not support loop-back
or need to be enabled on router
i am pretty sure it does, as I have used it on minecraft before. and the not being able to use the loop back isnt the biggest deal. I jsut cant get it to be seen outside of my network
i been hosting with asm now up to all 11 maps on same machine going on 4 years now
ark is not minecraft
usualy a port fowarding issue or a firewall issue.. hope you fix it
does asm say the server is waiting publication?
It is showing available. I have my friend attempting to join now
ok cool should work then
might be your isp blocking something too... some isp dont want you hosting on thier network
or you may behind another router on your isp with shared nat
they do that sometimes to save on ip addresses
also your sever should be wired and not on a wifi connection
Does the DestroyFoliage command not work?
Hello
Does anyone know any good hosting servers so I can start a modded ark primal fear server that people can play
Is this the only channel to talk in? Didn't there used to be a ton of channels?
yo guys question idk if this is the right room i couldnt find another but anyone know any Solo PVP servers
there's like 15 channels tho
How do I access them, for some reason I'm limited to News & Announcements, Information, and this channel
no idea, try rejoining
both wrong lol
I just left and rejoined, still nothing, so weird. I remember a ps4-pve channel and was looking for it
why would i go into recruitment for a solo server
You are looking for a server but one where there is 1v1 PvP. It would probs still be the right place
1000% wrong place for that
How is it wrong. You are looking for a server. They're the places to go
recruit page is the wrong page to go is what im saying
i need a solo only server
the recruit page is for looking for tribe dawggg
There still the right place. Like someone could be looking for more people to join a 1v1 server
ill look dwag
Question for some of you better than I. Is there a mod out there that gives you a better version of your "map" when you use it? The book one kinda got old for us
book?
When you press M to pull out your map. For us it's a book. The player Icon is too big, the pins yuou place are off coords. We were hoping there was a streamlined mod out there fo rit
You haven’t assigned yourself a role, channels are hidden till you do
Anyone knows if the mission Star Dolphin works? Thanks
It work
I make it 4h ago
Currently trying to get more microbe swarms to spawn on lost island. Anyone find a way to get their spawn rate up?
Looking for some tribe mates to play some servers

Do you know what’s going on with PlayStation? And ark? Have they given up on PlayStation because it has a deal with Microsoft? I’m playing this game on ps5 and it looks very questionable everything is very pixilated, and un rendered, basically unplayable.

Bro I know the feeling it’s so damn bad 💀
Alright… i mean hopefully we can at-least get a small enchantment, I’m currently playing genesis 2 and every creature here is at 2 polygons.
😂
I'm sure it's very frustrating. In the future, please keep this channel on topic though, it is for server setup configurations and such, just use #general or #ark-survival-ascended. I certainly hope it gets better soon! 💙
@olive talon I have a question if that’s ok? And apologies on the tag
I dont mind tags if you see me actively in chat 🙂. Whats up?
Alright thank you, I’m hoping it’s not because of the deal they have with Microsoft and hopefully fix this soon.
Why thank you, it’s about plant X Ive tried looking everywhere to find what the actual issue is but, the only information I could find was just basically based around the issue at hand that it can’t be placed anywhere and doesn’t show up on screen! I’m just curious if it was intentional of ark or just a issue that’s come up
On the lost island map? I've heard a bug with that one, and if thats the case please use #bug-reports
It’s all maps across all platforms it would seem but thank you I will report it in that channel 😃

with what?
Hey, I'm looking to host a server for about 20 people on the xbox/win10 version of ark, does anyone have any suggestions for servers? Australian Server
^ Just a friend only server, sorry I don't mean this to be any sort of advertisement ^
Do you mean server providers? If you just are looking for servers, check #800538767252389888 or #800538816691699722 , this channel is for setup help.
@cedar tulip its a bug, #bug-reports.
Ah ok
Yeah I'm looking for a server provider/host
I've hosted before on other games but my mates and I aren't sure whos reliable and cost efficient
The only provider for Xbox-Win10 is Nitrado
Maybe a exclusivity deal with nitrado? I am not sure.
Weird, thanks though
I got told to use them previously, but I though it best to check anyway
Its unfortunately your only choice for Microsoft, had you been using steam/epic you would have had more. Yw.
Playstation only has Gportal and nitrado as well, iirc.
Yeah we all have it through game pass, a few of us on steam but yeah
i maybe asking in the wrong channel but wondering if theres a setting i may have missed for the Drops on the Surface of AB
i've looked everywhere and i can't seem to find if there is or not
my Server is currently having issues with the Surface Drops for my Console players the ones using Windows 10 seem to have no issues wondering if it's something i messed up or chalk it up to a WC issue
What're the issues?
they don't show up for the xbox users only the windows 10 users
i loaded both my Win version and Xbox version at the same time i was able to see them on my Windows 10 screen but not my Xbox screen
Weird, I'd assume that's a bug then
it's funny looking at a drop on 1 screen and that same drop isn't there on my other lol
@humble thicket #735196267373920286
I have been looking for hours on end... and I can't seems to find what I am looking for. Anyone know of a mod that adds SE, Abberation. Extinction, Ragnorak. Crystal isle... etc... dnos to the Island Map?
I am not sure of a mod but I know you can add almost every creature onto any map by adding them in via spawn entries
You can also use simple spawners mod if you dont want to edit ini files^ (I will disappear now)
hmmm didn't wanna add a bunch of mods, I was trying to make it easier for friends with lap tops and low end PC and more beginner friendly. But I do need a challenge for myself and a few other friends. Trying to keep it vanilla if possible
Simple spawners is one of the smallest mods ever
Simple spanners is only 1 mod
got it... I will try it
It would be the easiest way to add creatures.
You can spawn drakes nests and all that can't you?
Yep. Drakes, wyverns, deinons, magmas, (not sure about crystal wyvern nests)
thank you @young minnow
Thank you @olive talon
when I add this mod to a server do i have to put it in a specific order or can I just add it and be done?
It's mod size, not count, that matters for performance. Though ive heard simple spawners has some performance issues too in fact
Extreme example but something like primal fear alone will be FAR more impactful than half a dozen spawn-adding mods
I love Primal Frear and Omega
And mods that add just spawns will be tiny and barely impact your performance
got it
That said, I honestly would recommend INI or simple spawners over direct spawn adding mods, especially if you want a challenge, since you get to choose what you put where and how mean you make it. I like to make stuff like super rare packs of reapers, for example, which you probably won't find in any mods. INI over simple spawners though, for compatibility and performance (though a few things do need a mod either way. Stuff like x raptors and deinon need a mod to either fix the thing that turns them into normal raptors, or I assume simple spawners won't respect random replacements- what spawns alphas- which is what breaks them).
Personal combo I would go for INI for spawns themself, mod to fix replacements, and simple spawners for eggs
Sorry that got a bit longer than I expected lol
your good
Though then again at that scope, any fully custom spawns are going to be a pain to set up no matter what way you do it. INI would be slightly less so IMO, you could reduce a lot of it to just copy-paste replacing a few classnames
If you happen to be running KBD or AAD already, those have configs to spawn aberrant dinos randomly in place of their normal counterpart
Ultimately depends how much effort you're willing to put into it what fits best for you though. I'd say INI with a little support for eggs and alphas all the way if fully custom porting wouldn't be a massive task
If you do want to look at spawn adding mods, I can recommend both cross-genesis mods, don't have experience with any other ones though aside from 'I'd avoid any that are map extensions'
we are running-
Structures +
Ultra stacks
Awesome Spyglass
Awesome Teleporters
Elemental Pick
HG starter kit v1.1
Disregard that thing about KBD/AAD, then
Aberrants would also have to be fully custom with that modlist
oh?
If you happen to be running KBD or AAD already, those have configs to spawn aberrant dinos randomly in place of their normal counterpart
I mentioned this not knowing if you used the mods. If you happened to use them already it would have saved you some effort but you don't so not relevant, dw about it
I do not know what KBD or AAD is
Kraken's better dinos and Additional Aberrant DInos, respectively
oh yeah LOL
yeah a bit big to add them just for extra aberrant spawns lol
Message me if u have a server thats

Does anyone have a clue how to download like LostIslands directly to ur dedicated server? this is a freaking pain
I'd try using Ark server manager 
Anyone know if there’s a way I can track/find wild Dino’s? I’ve been searching for 4 days for a giga so I can fight the dragon and I’ve had no luck. I’m on Xbox btw. Would be cool if there was something, even tek tier like a locator or something similar. Thanks!
not without mods, I don't even think there are commands you can use to find them
if you have a light pet it'll say if you are near a max level if enabled tho.
Since when can you fight bosses with gigas? I didn't think that was possible
there was an exploit for awhile that allowed them to go into boss fights
and the extinction titans you can use gigas :P
Tek transmitor
isn't that a S+ feature 
I knew about the titans but not other bosses
you aren't supposed to be able to use them :P
It is? I use dino tracker tho, so i had no clue in that case sorry for this useless comment
what map is the best to start a single player world?
Any
ok
Depends what sort of experience you're looking for?
Generally one of the Island-like maps is good for a main base though. Island, any free dlc, or gen2
Ragnarock with primal fear ;d
Haiaa, So server manager doesnt actually download maps, and nice to say all my mods are outdated xD
Care to quickly tell me in dm what i did wrong? i got my server and stuff setup in it, it loads the island etc thats good
Just gotta know that freaking self download
can someone link me a active pvp unofficial modded server? slightly boosted ive been looking in every channel for days and havent found nothing
Ah yeah i cant send screens here
one sec, I gotta update my ASM :P
Sure, sended u a screen in dm 😛
super sad no one can help
);
I haven't used ASM in a while :P I hit the install button and I assume that will download the map too, will let you know.
it installed up clean, i copyd my files over into it, i guess u gotta full manual download it? but if it does all maps, thats alooot of space required
Go to #800537518843756544 ?
I have all of the maps installed (once it finishes installing lost island) will tell you the size, but should be less than ark :P
Ill delete a backup or 2 then for a full install thanks for trying, like it toke forever to download on my pc, i dont wnna copy 50gb over to my vps, as it takes hours, and it prob breaks since ill be afk sleeping
pve is better with crazy modded dinos ^^
i hateee pve ive tried just not my thing,i need the action!
When u die every few steps on your journey, it isnt boring, its just anoying!
my entire folder for 10 maps is only 160GB so its not full ark sized :P
My clean ark install gets to 130gb lmao, so only?
nah steam xD i keep my dlc's turned off on downloads as i mostly use custom maps
But iam with a few others now and requested the new map.... my vps has a bunch of server files, i dont even think i got this space ready, altough iam doing a full install as u said u did
Yeah normally i would grab the id and download it trough steamcmd
ASM just does that automatically :P
iam so far not impressed how my 17 mods out of 21 are outdated xD what def isnt outdated at all since its the newest versions else we cant use it
Its updating from steam i guess on a clean install, so i hope itll work out
Vps has good net, there just isnt a progress bar -_-
woah, its done, and it legit looks like its booting the map ^^
Server did seem to work, it downloaded only a few gb, and well restart over password
strange
lost island?
mapname did show up correctly so i assume server works, but the data is only 23mb xD
like ill copy it over, but its actually the same size, its content/mapname ikr
Server map is like 14gb only smaller as my other one but seems to work on a diff version ty 🙂 thats noway near that 160 gb tho
its 160 for 10 maps :P
I have all the maps downloaded
Shouldnt it download em all?
it'll only download ones it needs.
I did a clean install of the server and it setted it up
the actuall file size of the map is 250mb tho
Can someone help me? :( My S+ tranq turrets are not dealing any torpor and some of the other turrets aren't dealing damage. I installed them on a Quetz. Any ideas? :/
can i join a tribe?
Anyone got Xbox only ark server with no win/10
How far can you roll back a server? Like couple hours couple days?
suppose it depends on the server provider and what backup policy is in place
Im trying to create a lost island server for me and a friend, but whenever i make the bat file and start it up it works fine, but it never makes a save file for the world, It also displays the wrong session name and map, Plus its unjoin able, dose anyone have a solution.
Is "Fjördur" going to become official and playable without mods like "Valguero"?
more like lost island but yes :P
Oh okay, heard that Valguero was created from players too.
I think all of the free maps were made by players then tweaked/finished by wildcard 
Yes
Can't wait to play on fjördur. Saw a video of that map. Hope it doesn't take that long.
Should be here by summer, so between May and August hopefully
Alright thanks.
They said June 😍
Sometimes there are delays, I was trying to be nice 
I know. They announced it publicly as June otherwise I wouldn’t say anything 🤣
Fingers crossed it’s another on time release especially since it’s an already established map that just needs slight adjustments
I didnt wanna get hopes up😂 may was me hoping it would be done sooner tbh
Same. I really want to check it out! Lol
Well the mod map is AMAZING. But thats probably off topic for this channel 
can someone help me with my mods it wont load up my single player
idk what im doing wrong
Did you activate the mods?
not anymore i was trying to do one at a time now since i didnt know which one is stopping me from loading up
What mods? You can list them here and see if anyone's had any issues with like mods or maybe someone else can help if I cant. This channel is for sp/unofficial setup help, and I guess your issue does fit that a little.
super structures ultra stacks upgrade station awesome spyglass and the tombstone
its the super structure is there another mod i should use instead
You can use structures plus or nominal structures
okay ill try that thank u
Probably more but those 3 are the most popular
does this ultra stack reduce the weigh?? or is that a different mod
Yes ultra stack reduces weights of materials
@humble thicket can u tell me some other useful mods
S+, Dino storage V2, custom dino levels is very good but only if you play on story maps, awesome spyglass
@humble thicket what about this upgrade station or boosted fabricator or kibble table???
I have never used them so idk
which s+ do i get or it doesnt matter@humble thicket
Upgrade station is nice, but kind of op.
Structures plus
i have that but something is stop it from loading up again
idk if im doing something wrong or what but now it wont load again@humble thicket
I'm using gportal and the harvesting is completely different than my friends single player world, I used the same settings as his but is there any setting i should use to make it as similar to his
Does he have the “use single player settings” checked
I just checked that, so is that spose to change it?
Uh so I checked it off but it didn't change anything about the harvesting
Like in my friends world If you harvest a bush it would give a small amount of everything but in my server it would give a large amount of one berry per grab
ok so basically my issue is that when i harvest a node it would give the metal or crystal that much, only a little at the end
Just to ask is this chat allowed to have anything unrelated to ark spoken about in here? Or does it have to be ark related?
Needs to be ark related, non ark stuff can be asked in #general.
Oooooooo thank you
anyone got a good unofficial pvp server? preferablly solo duo trio
Optimised harvesting health maybe
lol i did that, didnt work, my friend did it and it worked. it's working now but thanks

Is there a way I can get help with something going wrong with my server?
Is there like a help channel for this?
Because my XP bar will not go up at all and it is very frustrating...
We can try to help answer questions
I'm running a PvE server on ScalaCube and everything else, but the XP is fine
Literally my XP bar won't move
Hmm that is weird. I use nitrado so I’m not sure how settings work on there 😦
All good
is it possible to change the file of your map clientside? playing on rag and prefer the like more detailed version without the entire bottom right just being blank
huh?
Had that bug a while back, it just fixed itself after a couple weeks
Oh it did?
Yeah, it was on sp tho
If you’re on a server I can’t guarantee it’ll fix (not that I could in the first place)
Hello fellow Cave men I have a gportal server and I'm looking for a new Friend to help Dm me Me and my friend play alot yet we still dumb
ok I am not sure what happened and I don't think its the server side, but any chance someone could help with a technical problem or should I go in a different channel?
depends on what the problem is
After I added Simple Spawners to my server and placed 1 simple spawner, I was able to get in about 2 times and now every time I go to load in the server my game stops responding right after it tries to load 1 mod... I am in process of validating my files right now but would Simple spawners cause this or would it be more on my side of things?
if it crashes, DM me the crash log.
if it just stops responding, wait a few more minutes. it's probably still loading.
I will try it again after I am done validating my Ark files
its not crashing.... it just stops responding and I have left it alone for 20 mins and it still was not responding
Case #20199 @visual echo has been muted for 1 hour.
Reason: Posting a unauthorised Discord invite link
update after validating my files... it finally went past the 1st mods in 20 seconds
so it seems like it was my side not server side
Im trying to create a lost island server for me and a friend, but whenever i make the bat file and start it up it works fine, but it never makes a save file for the world, It also displays the wrong session name and map, Plus its unjoin able, dose anyone have a solution.
Would anyone know where to point me if im looking to add dinos from other maps into lost island? Was really hoping people had compiled a list of commands/changes to make it so every dino can spawn on the map as ive seen some other unnofficial servers with it done.
Want me to DM you how?
i have a how-to but it's long
Yeah that would be great
@floral warren oh haiiii again
@humble thicket what kinda help with nitrado coding ya need?
I don’t even know anymore mate 😭😂 like I’ve done the ini files and what not but some of the settings haven’t changed like the number amounts and when I try and change them it’s telling me they ain’t valid but I used the same number amounts on gportal and they worked fine 💀
@smoky ginkgo
Tried dming you but you have it set up so I can't. But anyways if you are using nitrado and are not super adept at coding the best thing I can recommend is an app/software called Beacon it is an open source coding tool for nitrado
It can if used properly save you alot of time and headache
@smoky ginkgo think I figured it out like I’ve started setting up the multipliers in the engine settings
Hope it helps
How do i uncrease dino weight for a g-portal server?
Guys how do I make it so my character has 120 insta levels 😂😂 my character can’t get levels 😭
Do you mean give it more weight per level?
I fixed it
Im hosting a non-dedicated island server and i costantly run 30-50fps while my gpu usage is 30-40. Is there anyway to force my gpu to run on maximum so i dont have to play on low fps? i have a 1660ti and i5 9400f
Hey why does my ark randomly leave a server, its my own server with only 2 players on it and there is no popup message so I don't know what to look for
That sounds like about the max fps you're gonna get from a 1660
Hey so my gportal server just randomly started saying server not responding. Any common issues or fixes
It's not. I have a 660 and I can achieve 40 to 60 fps.
On what settings though
and also thats a 10 fps difference
so you could have a better cpu or a number of things
then you would have to be running on much lower graphics
With a 3060 I get 45ish on a blend of hard/epic graphics
yeah
So if you're getting 60 on a 660 that must be potato graphics lol
hey do you know anything about g-portal servers?
I don't, sorry
Is anybody else having an issue with shadowmane not super jumping on abb even tho fliers work and so do mana?
nah i usually get much higher in single player and other servers and my gpu usage is only at 30-40%
I just dont know how to get my usage up
Anyone know of an ini-code to enable Tek hover skiff to pickup wild Dino’s on PVE ?
Last few servers I was on had it enabled, the current one the owner doesn’t know the correct code for it.
Iirc there's a Pve flyer carrying option, possibly that one
Don't remember it off the top of my head so check it on https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Server_configuration
Ty I’ll check your link 👍🏼
Anyone on here that uses Nitrado having issues with multiple maps good down and corrupted files popping up?
I used to play on it few years ago its very good
Thinking about renaming my cluster but can't find any good names. Any suggestions 🤔
Wizards Sleeve
Can someone explain why i cant play fjordur? I have downloaded the mod and even valguero and it doesnt show up in the menu as an option
wh0 have a good server pvp
@elfin dome Look thru #800537518843756544
ok just the server llas one standing he wipe when? can you help me?
Hm?
i speak french sorry
You'll need to dm the person posting the advertisement and ask them I suppose
I haven’t had that issue as of yet. Do you do all editing through nitrado or use another service like Beacon to adjust settings?
When summoning a dino wild or tame via an admin command, does it factor in Colorset Data from any current active event or say even particular spawn entry that has Colorset added to it? Thank you!
It is a random color combination from the standard colors, not any event.
Nitrado and Beacon yes. Ww figured out this morning that putting points into characters is causing crashes too
Oh no 😦 I know that the leveling up quickly can cause lag issues.
Anyone here have any experience with Server Clusters?
Depends on the command. Summon, gmsummon, spawndino etc use dino's natural set. Spawnactor variants can use the current event set though
Is the question related to clustering specifically?
Yes. I am trying to get these two servers to see each other so players can move between them, but for some reason when you are in game and go to an obilisk they do not appear
How would spawnactor command look like with the colorset assigned or does it just use what active event is set up if any?
You literally can only put in ONE and the whole map freezes and then crashes
Whatever event is assigned, and at the same chance as any fully natural spawn
You can't choose a specific colourset on spawn without a mod
Yikes. I would contact nitrado then and see if there is something going on with the servers then
someone has some good pvp servers that wipe every 2 weeks or month?
@radiant fable you can look in #800537518843756544 , this channel is dedicated to server setup help.
whoops okay thanks
anyone know how to fix server not responding on my nitrado server??
does anyone play rp??

@brazen zenith Server advertising is allowed in the server ad channels under #bulletin-board-rules.
Anyone got tips on advertising to get new players? I've gotten a few new tribes by posting in the advertising chat but just wanted to see if anyone had some more tips on how to grow a player base.
Anyone able to help with making a unofficial server ?
Be active in server chats that you’re advertising in. Be genuine, enjoy yourself, make an impression. People will be more likely to take a second to read your ad
Please don’t be corpo about it 🙏
That is the path I'm attempting. I believe I may just be being impatient. I appreciate the tips though I will keep them in mind as I grow.
Yeah no worries homie, you’re human
I'd hope so it doesn't feel like it most days. Lol
With anything specific?
i cant join any server it just says connection timeout everytime i try to join
anybody know a fix?
hey when i go to my favorite servers none of them are there and when i click refresh it just instantly refreshes and nothing happens
if you use any moda make sure they're all up to date- could also be the servers themself not being updated
i found it after restarting and searching it up on unofficial, but yea it was unfavorited
Is it normal to not be able to find a Nitrado server by searching for it by name in the server browser? I've always been able to find them in the past but the new one I just rented doesn't show if I search for it. I had to manually add it to my favorites in Steam to be able to find and join it.
Which is fine for me but I have friends that aren't really technology-inclined who I imagine will have issues so I'm hoping there's something I can change to get it to show in the server list
@humble thicket please use #bobs-with-probs for help or #ark-survival-ascended for ark topics not related to server setup help.
Are unofficial servers not working after update for anyone else?
Unofficials usually take a little longer to deploy. Give them time.
@olive talon Thank you
K
Hey did they fix the graphical issues?!
Sorry for the pin btw.
I believe so, #735188572688089229. Pings are fine if im actively in chat.
Omg I hope this means that the creatures aren’t at two polygons 😭
Please move further comments not related to server setups to another channel, thanks.
Alright sorry about that.
Are Unofficial Servers ever going to get the flipping update? Sheesh?
Some people would like to go bed ARK
Please and thank yoiu
waiting for my server to up again 
is it affecting PC aswell?
i know people are all saying servers arent working.. does this include private servers with paid hosting?
PlayStation unofficial
So this is gonna be like waiting for Crystal Isles all over again? 8+ hours??
We're already at 5.5 hrs
Might as well set a record Wild Card. Make it the longest wait in server update history!
Blah!
When are servers going uppp!
I had a lot of good bp and dinos in ark data RIP
anyone tryna play?
Nothing is working lol
Are they still having problems with the update
2k unofficial server is up check your server gentleman 🦦
Not sure what platform you in but this the wrong channel to promote your server.
Once you have your platform role head to the pve or pvp server channel to advertise your server
Anyone know about setting up a dedicated server? I've got everything down but cannot join from any computer outside the host computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
is it possible to allow s+ structures in caves?
i don't see why not
how
