Anyone familiar with the S+ Propagator, I want to hear if it's still bugged or can be exploited? Specially about the mating cooldown. Also does it create S+ Eggs for dinos that already lay eggs or only for Gestation? Also anyone with more in-depth review when it come to server load, does having bunch of S+ Propagator is easier than having bunch of hitched dinos outside for breeding?
can someone help me with my cluster? i can't get it to work

Hey. I try to hide Engrams for my Server. But it seems i can only hide 1 and i dont know what im doing wrong. I tried to write it one after the other or under each other with comma between them and so on. Can someone help me with this?
just out of curiosity, why would you want to increase flexible pipe count? people spam those things like crazy already
Why wouldn‘t I?
It’s a convenient way to place pipes and not to have them floating everywhere.
Send the code please
Get what to work?
i don’t know why, but almost every time i play i tend to go around and tame a ton of dino. i also tend to breed dino’s. this time i’m trying to see what kind of mutations i get with the lystrosauruses.
Here's a weird question: Does a wild dino wipe affect cave dinos?

hey anyone looking for a 15x server?
sorry, but it's amazing to me that you don't see the post from the mod RIGHT above this.
this isn't for advertising your cluster
@forest osprey want to start tribe
Pls use #735196277221883964 for lfg
Or at least dm the person so as to keep this channel on topic
Are you using auto unlock config?
can some one tell me if this command line for my cluster is good? start ShooterGameServer.exe MapName?"Ragnarok?SessionName=Ragnarock?ChangeMe?MaxPlayers=35?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6.0?DifficultyOffset=1.0?AltSaveDirectoryName=Ragnarok?cMapName?QueryPort=27015?Port=7777?listen" -NoBattlEye -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=deez123 -activeevent=none -UseVivox -noundermeshkilling
Lost island, ever time i beat the boss on unofficial the game crashes as it tries to load me out of the boss arena. I'm on xbox series X. Anyone else having this issue?
What
i assume no then
there's a config to automatically unlock engrams, that doesn't respect hidden ones
Nah i dont use sth like that
What file did you put them in?
As said it works but only for the first 1 when they are in a row
when they are under each other none work
it might be something else, I wonder
Game.ini
Where did you get the engram classnames?
I looked in the files and on the webpage from the mod
WHat mod?
They all work fine alone but when i try to add them togehter nothing works
Yes
Ok what mod are those items rfrom
I'll test the config
I mean there's no obvious reason it wouldnt work from what I'm hearing so it needs testing:P
Yo which mod are these items from, pls answer
HG Stacking Mod 5000-90 V316
Hey everyone. Does anyone know if there's a way to prevent users from bringing things in their inventories to other servers on a cluster? I'd like them to be able to download items only through obelisks and travel naked between servers.
When i try to join my cluster it allways says invalid authentication token what can i do about it

Good evening, do not know where to write that I would hear the developers ark survivals? on all unofficial servers now the problem with the discharge turret. when there is rarefaction occur horrible lag. this is an innovation with the gen 2 box to charge. would like to know when it is corrected? it happens when dropped more than 5 dinosaurs on turrets
@brave summit
Try #bug-reports
Any good modders in here?
'Good modders'? For what?
someone gives boss? Small pvp
An Easter mod
What about it?
wrong channel
"boss"?
You're looking for someone to make decorations, make vanilla one permanent, or....?
Ok
Put together an Easter mod in the same sort of style as the Christmas ones and with chickens, bunnies etc.
so decorations?
You could try the modding discord to make a commission
though I still don't see how chickens are easter themed
Eggs ig
then again I don't celebrate easter so what do I know
Good idea
roleplay is the best lol
@drifting void try here to
hello everyone, can anyone please help me. i got the game yesterday and wanted to make a server with some friends but don't find anything on the internet 😅
What store?
store? i don't get what u mean tbh
I recently bought scorched earth , how do I get silk ? Reply appreciated
From plants thet have like pink flowers on I think
Thanks I will try
Epic/steam
oh, steam ofc ^^
Your options are non-dedi- Easy asf to set up, but it can be unstable (unreliable with people being able to join), and has teleporting issues that range from 'you can't do caves alone' to 'unplayable' depending on map
Alternately there's dedicated which is more complex to set up but overall more stable (my personal recommendation is it's worth the setup to self-host it)
Can also rent a server though I wouldn't advise that unless self-hosted isnt feasible
How many people are you intending to play with?
Use ark server manager. Great thing for servers
And it's free
keep in mind your pc needs to be decently strong to handle hosting dedicated and playing at the same time
8GB ram wouldn't be enough
Dependant on number of players largely, but yeah
12 GB I'm not sure, maybe with fewer players
but 16 GB should be comfortable
16g is the minimum I'd recommend for a few people, any more than 4, you'll need a stronger pc or rented host
Though map also matters a lot. gen2 is fucking awful with ram requirements unless thats been massively improved since release
saw people mentioning their servers taking 12-16 fucking gb
12GB would be fine with a few people on it
When i try to join my cluster it allways says invalid authentication token what can i do about it
Hello it will show me all the offical arks but none of the unofficial does anyone know a fix for it?
So question... I have a friend running a local dedicated admin under anon steam CMD. They are able to get the server running, and it looks like it's on, but they cannot join (epic), and neither can I (epic). crossplay is turned on with the public ip argument turned on as well. Trying to connect gets a timeout error (even for the hoster)
ports are forwarded and the steam query is set to 27015, even the firewall is off and it still cannot connect
You can also kill lymantrias, they give a pretty good amount of silk

What is better unofficial or official?
Personal preference really
Anyway to customize blue prints? Trying to sell/trade 700% blueprints and they all spawn in costing an arm and a leg, as well as a first born…
Editing the crafting costs maybe? Could make them lower but other than that I really don't know. Someone else in here may have more info.
Craft costs are the best you got, yeah
don't forget the blood of the ancient one, as well as 5 kidneys
Make the base cost less and the spawned ones will too, only doesn't work on Tek, from what ive heard
Blueprints like that occur when the supply drop loot as well as difficulty level is increased a lot.
So you got a few options
-
Lower those 2 settings to not broken levels so they are cheaper
-
Clamp blueprints to a limit will also reduce the overall cost
-
Reduce the crafting cost
How do I reduce the crafting cost?
Well you have 2 options, if you have a pc and access to Beacon Omni you can make mass edit all the crafting costs to say 50% cheaper for example.
If you not have beacon you will have to use this website called nipro which has being outdated since Extinction to manually edit each one and any engrams that came after Extinction you gonna have to manually create and edit in like notepad
Hello Eclipse
I have a how-to written if you'd like an explanation on how you can do that manual editing
Fixing it's formatting up for discord rn actually because screenshots kinda sucked, only version I know the location of is set up for a mod guide
This code goes in Game.ini under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]. Each item uses it's own line.
As an example, we'll look at changing the cost of a modded Tek converter item, first to cost 100 Blue Gems or Blue Crystallised Sap, 30 fiber and 50 obsidian, second only 100 Blue Gems, 30 Fiber and 50 Obsidian, and third just remove the item's giga heart requirement.
ItemClassString=, is the classname of the item you're changing the cost of, with _C on the end. Classname must be contained in quotes ""
You'll have one ResourceItemTypeString section for each item you want the item you're changing the cost of, to cost. For each item,
ResourceItemTypeString= is the item's classname, and it must end in _C. Classname must be contained in quotes ""
BaseResourceRequirement= is the amount of that item it will cost
bCraftingRequireExactResourceType= determines whether any item that is a child class of the specified item can be used as a replacement (set false), or if only the exact item specified can be used (set true). Usually, you'll want to keep this False.
To find an item's classname:
For vanilla items, you can find them on https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs
For modded items, look for a list of items or spawn codes. You can also find it by searching for the item in the mod's files, in Steamapps>Common>Ark>Shootergame>Content>Mods>[Mod ID], and finding the item's file. Remeber to add _C to the end, the filename will not contain it generally (if it does, add a second _C)
You can also find a classname from a BP Path. For example, from the Tek Converter's BP Path, the part in bold is the classname. Don't forget to add _C, BP paths do not have it.
Blueprint'/Game/Mods/ExtraItems/Consumables/DinoEffects/PrimalItemConsumable_Converter_Bionic.PrimalItemConsumable_Converter_Bionic
Example 1- Cost 100 blue gems or blue crystallised sap, 30 fiber and 50 obsidian:
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Converter_Bionic_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Gem_BioLum_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",BaseResourceRequirement=30.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Obsidian_C",BaseResourceRequirement=50.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))
Example 2- Cost 100 blue gems and not consume blue crystalised sap, 30 fiber and 50 obsidian:
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Converter_Bionic_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Gem_BioLum_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=True),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",BaseResourceRequirement=30.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Obsidian_C",BaseResourceRequirement=50.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))
Example 3- Remove giga heart requirement. Removing an item will require you to rewrite the item's crafting cost.
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Converter_Bionic_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Crystal_C",BaseResourceRequirement=250.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",BaseResourceRequirement=250.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Element_C",BaseResourceRequirement=40.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=500.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_C",BaseResourceRequirement=150.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))
Thank you so much! I will show this to my husband (he’s the coder ^^)
Np!
you can always just find a few kidneys lying here and there
saves you the effort of ini modification
Lmao
Right, I wish it were as easy
Coding is way over my head personally 😅😅
out of curiosity, how many resources does the blueprint take?
I have to check
ah alright
good guide btw
Ty! In revision think I should definitely clean it up a bit to be about.. not a modded item, at some point though
Reason I wrote it in the first place (and why that giga heart one specifically is there) was due to a lot of people wanting to remove that item from it lol
it's from QOL items?
and it needs a giga heart, I see
Asc fab sniper rifle - 702.9 dmg - 722 dura - cost is 8350 cementing paste, 6073 ingots and 8730 poly
I spawn them in 100 at a time and look for the cheapest costing ones. I pick the ten that I think are best and let my members pick from there… but it dont all fit in the fabby 😅
ah, yeah you need a tek replicator for those engrams
or an argentavis or beaver or thorny dragon
I thought these just worked as smithies
they do
but they can also hold 300 stacks of items rather than 75
wait fuck
you said fabricator
I'm smart
Yis. And I dont have replicators on my server :/
is there any guaranteed working information/wiki page to explain how to get -automanagedmods or an equivalent working for a linux dedicated server?
Any way to get the obs/drops to work as Replicator? I know this one is a stretch…
Or you could just make a rep like a normal person
Got a unique server going. No Replicator or way to create or repair Tek. It’s like alien artifacts that survivors can find and use. But if they break, they are done.
Not possible
Kinda figured. Thanks for replying ^^
anyone know who when i search for x1000 i cant find anything?
What did you do?

? I figured it couldnt be done, but I thought I’d ask. ^^;
Anyone got the defeatboss codes for the ascensions. I have abb, Island and gen2
Question about vavirum
When server is established with S+ enabled, do admins need to "enable" vavirums so that dinos can produce special resources in it? (E.g. element shards from griffins)
@olive talon sorry about that
Does anyone know why transfers in my cluster could suddenly stop working on random maps? The gens, valg, and ragnarok stopped working
Did you recently make any changes to your cluster?
Only a plugin that changed on all servers
A mod?
I’m on Xbox/win 10 cluster so don’t have any mod experience there. Have you tried doing a new cluster ID and linking them again while servers are off?
Oh apparently someone else got it fixed, I’ll find out what they changed
Okay haha

Heya, is it possible to run a dedicated server from anon steam CMD with battleye? It keeps timing out when users try and join
We cant seem to get it working, we are running local, ports forwarded, firewall disabled
Can anyone explain why I my npc replace codes aren’t working on lost island?
I can put Dino’s into spawn bins but not replace existing spawns
If you're tying to spawn someething in place of the thing youre removing, the code pretty much never works for that
That’s really annoying, so I’m going to have to remove them and readd to all the bins 😦
yeah use configadd to add new spawns
Currently my maps just straight up missing all the dinosni tried to replace 😅
yeah thats all npcreplacements are good for
Also do gen 1 variants just NOT work on lost island?
My gen 2 spawns worked fine but my gen 1 didn’t
Some do, some will get turned into their normal and alpha counterpart without a mod fixing the thing that does it
Is there somewhere I can see which ones work or just trial and error?
Alright, Thankyou I’ll sort it out and rewrite everything… just might take awhile 🤣
i need help joining a server
it need this dlc that i have downloaded but it still just pops up when i try to join

i accidently deleted the primal earth folder, do i have to reinstall my game? anyone know?
If its not in recycle bin, verify
I think I am
For the life of me I can’t get Dino’s I added to spawn in groups, I’d rather not increase the spawn rate though but there’s plenty that naturally spawn in twos threes fours etc
You have to increase their radius and add multiples of them. What are you trying to have spawn?
R allos, r brontos equus etc I can get 1 to spawn but not in their groups
Do you rent a server?
Yeah
Nitrado?
Do you use beacon to help with settings?
Tried but it’s too much to work out
Beacon did the opposite of making it easy to understand
Really??
Yeah I have it on my laptop but it’s just ????
Same with the smart breeding calculator but I don’t need that
Can you send the code?
Yeah just a minute
I also have a how-to write it by hand if you'd like, which details groups
Yeah I write mine by hand in notepad
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMountain1_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RAlloSpawner(3)",EntryWeight=0.035,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Allo_Character_BP_Rockwell_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Allo_Character_BP_rockwell_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))
just one but thats for the r allo
Reason it's only spawning 1 is that you only have 1 dino set there
Yea
yeah and i dont know where it says that nor how to change it
While the number in the entry name is generally an indicator of the amounts of creatures, it's got no actual bearing on what spawns
Gimme a sec, I'll grab it
I’m also checking my beacon (I have a project folder for messing with settings for this channel lol)
yeah i wouldnt have thought thatd be where to put it but after looking arlund so long i saw someoene elses code do something similar so i tried it n didnt work lol
Here's a shorter set, for just one dino
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Ravagers 1-2",EntryWeight=0.20,NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.00,0.50),NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CaveWolf_Character_BP_C","CaveWolf_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=0.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=0.0,Y=200.0,Z=0.0)))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="CaveWolf_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))
NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_C" is where you want to put the dinos for this specific line and you can find a list of them here
https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_entries
You can view the spread of each spawn container here
https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_Map_(The_Island)
It must end in _C
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Ravagers 1-2",EntryWeight=0.20,NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.00,0.50),NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CaveWolf_Character_BP_C","CaveWolf_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=0.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=0.0,Y=200.0,Z=0.0)))),
NPCsToSpawnStrings= Uses the classname of the dino you want to spawn. What you enter into this must end in _C
EntryWeight=0.20,NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.00,0.50)
Are both the chances of dinos spawning. Entry weight is the chance of that whole spawn spawn group being chosen. NPCstospawn is the chances of individual dinos (potentially multiple) being spawned once that group has been chosen (value should be between 0-1)
NPCsSpawnOffsets= is the offset to spawn each dino in the group at. This is not necessary for groups with only a single dino, but groups with multiple should have a different one for each, to prevent them spawning inside each other. Don't set these distances too high, or you may have issues with dinos spawning in the mesh or outside counting zones.
NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="CaveWolf_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.15),
Sets a maximum on the percentage of dinos inside that spawner that can be this specific dino. Also uses classname and once again must end in _C
So in this example, what's happening is
Slightly out-of-context extract from the full guide, but hopefully will still do the job
So to have multiple dinos, you need multiple entires in NPCsToSpawnStrings
You'll also want to set the offsets though, or you get the situation allos have lol
yeha i love seeing 3 allos meshed inside each other
Fun fact, they do actually have offsets set
It's just that two of them were given... the same fucking offset lmao
thats just 10/10
Oh and you can have negative offsets, I should probably note that somewhere in here
hands down server owners could do better than wc sometimes
Yeah I'm tempted to just re-do all the allos tbh, haven't tested if Subtract will work adding the same creature back though. I assume not so likely will need modding
Could replace them all with X or R allos for a simpler solution but then you got random out of place variants which is almost as bad
So for three guaranteed allos entry weight (1.0,1.0,1.0)?
NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance
Entry weight is for the whole group to be chosen, relative to everything else in the container
What I meant vs what I said
Lol. Yup, that's correct then
Then just wiggle them away from each other with coordinate offsets?
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arkutils/Obelisk/master/data/wiki/spawn_groups.json
You can use this to see what WC's done for offsets if you ever want a gauge too
Yep, guaranteed 2, up to 4
100% I’ll look at that was trying hard to find where the originals were 😤
And here's the fabled normal allos lmao
They’re so smart 🤣🤣🤣
Tbf, it's probably easy to miss. Sometimes the devkit doesn't actually stick your changes if you edit a box the wrong way, and a tiny little minus sign is easy to miss
..Still, it's not like it's a hard fix lol
But after all these years of them being like that…… surely???
Yeah, one of those minor things that just gets overlooked in favour of bigger bugs, I guess
Bigger bugs like falling through aberration maybe? Maybe? No?
I'd take all the fucked up offsets in the world for the random replacements bullshit to be fixed>.>
Which is an equally simple fix but with muuuch bigger impacts
Yupppp
That's why you can't spawn X rexes on LI without a mod fixing the replacements
It sees X rex as normal rex, replaces it into normal and alpha rex
I’ve nearly got everything in for my first round of x dinos, just not the spinos which really don’t want to work
Don't want to work how?
Not existing
And are you adding them to the spino countainer? That'll probably overspawn
Send code?
They’ve got a unique container on LI like the gigas
Yeah, that'll probably overspawn
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Spinosaurus_LostIsland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="BogSpinoSpawner",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Bog_Spino_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Bog_Spino_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))
Containers that naturally only spawn 1 dino are generally set to count only that dino. Resulting in infinite spawns if you remove the thing that normally spawns in it and add something else- It always thinks it's empty
Might be that limiter
Possibly, I can readd the normal one and have both which worked for the gigas
Yeah, might be fine like that. Should still keep an eye on it though
Or add them to a different bin and deal with it
I'd do that tbh
Only count isn't worth fucking with
You can very easily get shit like 60,000 of whatever creature in there crashing your server
I’ll try it when I turn server off again in a minute
Try both whichever works out is good
yea happened to my gacha spawn on CI
How are you checking their spawns?
Manually Im on PS4
Ahh
Spinos are very obvious though when they spawn in like titans
Because checking my save with larkator rn seems they are just really rare in general
true yeah they spawn in the fucking sky lol
i need a tribe plz
There’s a couple more but I live on the redwood island and see em frequently
There’s another spawn on the west coast and south east swamp area
do you have a tribe i can join im windows 11
That's just all the spinos I have on my map rn, not all spawn areas
All the possible areas (They won't necessarily be in all those areas at once)
While we’re here talking garbage about spawns. I ruined my velo spawn somehow. I had them in the desert and they spawned fantastic but then I added r thylas there and neither want to spawn
Should I be doing config Mc bin then (Dino 1 spawn line) Mc (Dino 2 garbage line)
Because I’ve been doing it individually
All edits to the same container need to be on the one line
That explains many items not working together
Not yet had an issue where I’ve put more than 1 Dino in the same bin but I’m really enjoying messing around with the LI bins
Is it possible (on console) to be able to easily find structures as an admin? I'm want to clean up old bases but don't want to fly around trying to find them all/looking through all the caves.
Yeah, they're really fun to work with so far except the fucking angler
-no thanks-
I’ll screw around with the underwater Dino’s when I’m done with these next 11
120,000 turtles.
im not touching that container again for a long while lmao
That is what adding to Only Count tends to look like
generally containers with multiple creatures in them are fine, but it's not a requirement, so that's possibly what happened here. No way to check till LI hits the kit either
'Why did the host's computer OOM?'
'I'll check the spawns'
'oh.........'
The only thing is I have separate lines for redwood r gasbag and ab dire bear and they’re working but bronto+Equus and thyla+velo aren’t
But 120k sets the record for the most extreme overspawn I've ever seen so there's that at least? lmao
Only bronto spawns and neither thyla velo so this game could do with some consistency
Remember there is also some element of random to it so particularly if your weights are low, that could contribute
Bronto 10 Equus 6 and 12
Thyla 35 and velo 35
Weights? Those are really damn high
As %
Ah
nobody is on in recuritment area what do i do

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesCanyons_LostIsland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="NU Seeker 1-2",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.0,0.7),**NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Pteroteuthis_Char_BP_Tameable_C","Pteroteuthis_Char_BP_Tameable_C"),**NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=0.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=0.0,Y=150.0,Z=0.0))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Pteroteuthis_Char_BP_Tameable_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.08)))
you mean the offset for the third allo or just add the three allos bc as i understand it theres three there
You need 3 allos in NPCsToSpawnStrings
so allo_bp, allo_bp,allo_bp
Yup. Bolded the important part here
The number you put in AnEntryName has no actual bearing on what spawns. Could put no number, could put 1000, won't have any effect
Ah 👍
But yeah it's the NPCsToSpawnStrings you need to have 3 entries in for 3 dinos
It's how you can have multiple dinos spawn together too like yuts + carnos
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMountain1_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RAlloSpawner(3)",EntryWeight=0.035,NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.0,1.0,1.0),NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Allo_Character_BP_Rockwell_C","Allo_Character_BP_Rockwell_C","Allo_Character_BP_Rockwell_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((x=0.0,y=300,z=0.0),(x=0.0,y=400,z=0.0)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Allo_Character_BP_rockwell_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))
still need to add the other offset but like that?
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMountain1_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RAlloSpawner(3)",EntryWeight=0.035,NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.0,1.0,1.0),NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Allo_Character_BP_Rockwell_C","Allo_Character_BP_Rockwell_C","Allo_Character_BP_Rockwell_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((x=0.0,y=300,z=0.0),(x=0.0,y=400,z=0.0),(x=0.0,y=500,z=0.0),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Allo_Character_BP_rockwell_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))
missing a bracket but this will work as intended?
Yep, though I'd also raise the max% a little
5-10% is what I generally go for for pack dinos
The spots they’ll be spawning here isn’t too large but might raise to 5%
Alright launching changes for the 5th time today, will see if it works out. But Thankyou @floral warren for all your help with sorting out these stupid codes
Np!
Thanks bbg
When i try to join my cluster it always says invalid authentication token what am i doing wrong?
One more question. In the unofficial server settings there is "xp multiplier" and then there is different spacific xp multiplier options. Will the first "xp multiplier" one effect all others even if I don't change the spacific ones?
Yeah it's an overall multiplier

Setting to wipe any tamed or wild dino over lvl 350? This high level spawn wild Rex only bug is annoying, wish the devs would fix it. I know official default is 450 but I don't see a server setting to control it. All other dinos on lost island are spawning 150 except sometimes a random glitched rex that will spawn in the 400s and is tameable.

how can i play with my friend if he has ark on steam and i have it on epic games?
You can set tame deletion cap and prevent rexes spawning till it's fixed
Deletion cap is DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp
Im on win 10 and with gamepass it says I have the season pass but when i enter ark it tells me I have to buy it even though I have it installed, anyone know how to fix this?
@crisp cave that is more for #ark-survival-ascended or #bobs-with-probs, not a server setup.

Now I'm on pc, this is it's description, and it goes in Game.ini
Spawn prevention code is NPCreplacements, NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Rex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
Also goes in Game.ini
Won't affect existing ones so you'll have to dinowipe after adding it
thank you, I implemented it. I didn't remove rexes from spawning. More of taming issue. Are the devs aware you think?
I suggest disabling altogether because people can still use the tamed overlevelled rexes until a restart
Devs are likely aware, it's a pretty big bug:/
I did server restart to force a kill off. Does it affect official or only unoffical dedicateds/single player?
Not sure sorry, I don't recall any specific mention of it on officials but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not on officials
They'll still spawn even with the config, I don't believe it affects wild dinos
So people could still tame and use them until a restart. Disabling taming would most likely make existing ones bug out though
hey i got some questions yall
im making a cluster server and unsure of where to start
ill most likely purchase one
I use Nitrado to rent my servers. It’s one of the more common ones but people use other hosts as well or use their own PCs for it too.
i see alright, how do cluster servers work, do i pick my maps and if so whats the limit
So you nitrado, I rent the server and choose what game I want on it (Ark obviously lol) and how many slots I’d like (people who can be on the map at 1 time) and then once it has been paid for and game installed, you can choose which map you want along with settings.
If you want more than 1 map at one time, you’ll need more than 1 server. Otherwise you’d have to upload items and character to the ark data, shut down server, choose a new map, turn server back on, and download on the next map. That does save the last maps data while you’re not using it i believe. So you could return and your structures should be there*. To link multiple servers together,
You choose one as the “hub” and create a cluster Id. Then you enter that ID into the same spot on the other servers so they all link together. From there I like using Beacon to get my settings customized to how I want them. I can still add the ini code when needed if Beacon doesn’t have it already
ahhh ok so i can just chill on the main server for the time being then when i want to another i buy another server
meaning when i want another map
Yep 🙂
I started with 1 to get the feel for it and once I was comfortable, I added more.
I run a 9 map cluster now 🤣
that must cost a fortune
paying for 9 maps
It’s a pretty penny but I mained on official for a year and got tired of the constant disconnecting, lag, pillar spam, and general toxic players even on PvE. Tried some other clusters and stats were either crazy boosted, community was creepy/toxic, or you had to donate to do anything in game. So I said to hell with it and made my own where I actually enjoy it and have around 30 people so far.
stats btw you got good stats? im looking for good stats , nothing that will take me hours to do stuff
Yes. We have breeding/taming boosted to allow for faster on both, xp is a little boosted so you can get levels in a few days with lots of play or a week with super casual play. More aimed for those who don’t have tons of time to grind for everything but not too easy where it’s done too fast.
do you have a list of the stats? my mates played offical years ago and they were up at 3am checking eggs haaha
for like a week straight
A giga on 1x official takes like…2 weeks from egg drop to adult. We can do it on ours in about 7 hours 😂
Also…gen2 brought the egg incubator
Best thing to ever come to breeding. 🥳
again have you got a list of stats i remember the server i played on years ago , it took 20-30 minutes for what you said
Yea (booting up computer atm)
I’ll have to PM it to you since I can’t share SS on here.
ok sounds good
if i setup a non-dedicated server for my husband and i to play on, how do i tweak the settings so the harvest rate is like 10x?
There's a few harvest multipliers on the menu, harvest amount is simplest
it only lets you go up to 3x though
Type it in
i feel stupid now 🤣
Lol np
thank you 😄 (i didnt think to try it because i thought it would default back)
Np!

Ok soz
guys what is the name of the mod that adds new dinos and a suchomimus?
Ark additions
thx now i know what it is
the mod name is additonal creatures2:wild
Well I knew it was a variation lol its a nice mod, have fun!
Hello everyone i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction... I Own a dedicated server box which i use to host other games using a Web panel. For some reason no matter what my server won't show up in browser. I get SteamSocketsOpenSource: gethostname failed ().. Yet on the server i paid for its showing up fine. Anyone have any ideas? I use OVH...
I downloaded some mods then I deleted them since they weren't working on a server I was trying to join so I deleted them now I'm trying to re-download them but it's not working
How did you delete them?
In downloaded them I can't remember
Try the mod reinstall directions in #bobs-with-probs pins
Ok
do u have a video for that since the way the instructions are setup there its kinda confusing
Unsubscribe
Delete mod ID folder
Delete mod ID folder
Resubscribe
i deleted the folder and re subscribed but when i go back to steam it says updated downloading i go back onto ark and the mods dont show
but at the bottom right of ark when im on it it says installing it didnt do that the first time i downloaded the mods
That's good, means it's in the process of installing. It'll show in the list when the text disappears
Depends on the mods
i'd say they are pretty big mods
do i have to stay on ark for the mods to download or can i exit it
Have to stay in ark
Np 👍
Hey! Is anyone willing to help me set up a server? :( me and my friends bought one but we are failing miserably at setting it up.
If you have specific questions about any config, sure
But I can't help with such a broad question, no idea what you're looking for
I was wondering if someone could lend some insight here
I recently lost my character on my friend's unofficial Lost Island server after uploading to the Obelisk
I redownloaded my survivor from the Obelisk and it just gave me a fresh spawn new survivor
My original survivor is not even listed in the Obelisk anymore
Is there a way to restore my original survivor?
Since I uploaded it, a file must have been created somewhere right
I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I'm really bumming right now since I've lost it
backups
I'm not sure how it's setup, do most unofficial servers have built in backup systems?
were can i find a team mate
no, you have to make manual ones
Damnit. So if he hasn't been making manual backups am I screwed?
actually,
it does make automatic backups I think
I didn't trust it so I never bothered to look much into it

but you'll have to wait for someone who uses it
What do you mean?
I never used it so idk how it works, so you'll have to wait for someone who knows how it works, is what I meant
Aaah I see, thanks! Does this backup system have a specific name or is it just a a nameless thing baked in
What server provider do you use as most have a auto back up of 30min.
My buddy hosts it himself using Ark Server Manager as gui @mental pike
Ah. Tbh I'm not to sure if that has a backup feature, ( I would assume so) you would have to double check with him.
If not worst case is created a new charater and admin cheat the lvs and boss fights shouldn't take more than 15min depending on your old character stats
Gotcha, luckily I think there's backups
Never again am I messing with Obelisk uploading
It's kinda necessary for map transfers
Its a rare occasion I've only lost 1 character on ark and I think that was due to the admin at the time messing with setting
Huh this character was playing The Island and Center on the same server and we never had to mess with Obelisks
How did you go from map to map without the obelisk?
There is a tek transporter to upload into to transfer without an obelisk
Is it possible to get more then 255 points in a single stat with mutations on unofficial?
No
Those are different points, calulated differently, with their own cap of 255 as well
Ok, thanks.
Anyone else having issue w base structures in caves suddenly randomly disappearing? 3 ppl now have logged on to floating dinos and no structures
From what I know the transporters and obelisk work the same way I.e the coding and the way they upload characters so using only them makes no difference from using an ob ( I may be wrong, if a dev wants to correct me)
hallo hallo all, I'm looking for someone who is tech savvy and has dealt with setting up dedicated ark servers before, ive got a very niche question and I just need another head to help me figure this out
might be able to help you there
whatcha need?
are you comfortable with getting on a call?
i dont have my mic on me at the moment unfortunately but i can join a call
no worries thats good enough
I have screwed up my server with commands that has force tamed a bunch of dinos on the map. I want to use destroyallenemies to get rid of everything. will this affect tamed dinos in cryo pods?
Using the command destroyallenemies will not destroy any dinos inside cryopods.
@jolly jasper awesome! thanks so much.
is this code right? NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="BoaFrill_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C")
hi can anyone help me with the soul terminal, idk how to get the auto stuff to work on my non dedicated server, plz dm, or call thx
how can i use commandsa on my cluster?
anyone know how to trouble shoot "joining failed Connection timeout" error?
npcreplacements dont work to replace To, so you'll just get no boas and no dodos in their place
that is to say that NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="BoaFrill_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="") will do the same thing, if that's what youre going for, it is
thx
my cluster is a bit buggy for example when i ride my trike it teleports me back a bit of some times my cross bow won't reload what's the problem?
Servers are like that particularly with high ping
so i cant do anything about it?

i'm worryied about boss fights
Not really unless you can get it hosted in a closer region, it's one of the reasons I stick to singleplayer, it's just a thing with servers
i host it myself
@sharp karma with 2 ps4?
nope
U buy it on nitrado?
no i host it on my own pc
Oh tht the problem if ur pc no is strong or ur wifi u gonna have lag
my pc is decent enough
Beacouse is taking power to host the server and for u can play
Yeah but no is the same is working more hard
ok still im more or less happy with how my server works

Ayy I have a question about Ark local servers.
My friend hosts a private non-dedicated server so you can only join if you have added him on steam as a friend.
Now I want to host his local non decdicated server on my Computer but with his old server data. Is this even possible like can we exchange the server data so I can host it by myself? (We play on ark lost island) I tried to get the local server data out of the folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved) and paste it inside mine folder. Is this even possible pls dm?
Ik its not referanceable but does any 1 have a script for a fiber server ik its bot like but yk
Anyone
do you have beacon? there's a 'setup fibercraft' tool that makes it very easy
Yea but 10$ is still 10 $
Pretty sure loot drops are part of the free features
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemRaft_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fiber_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false))
that is how the fiber craft works, replace the itemclass string with whatever item you want to cost 1 fiber. Quick excel formula with concatenate function/"&" (1 column that has the item class string, 1 column for the amount of fiber per item) can you get you the entire list fast
goes in your game.ini file

I have to go back to work now but if you can reply to this message I greatly appreciate it. Is it just me or are there other people on unofficial servers having everything including their base literally disappear as if it never existed. We've had three people on the server that we play with have their entire base, everything right down to the foundations all their dinos cry all fridges everything literally disappear as if it never existed. It started last night.
On the Crystal Isle map.
did they walk around and see if it rendered? sometimes large bases just don't render for a minute or two
or... do you have auto destroy on?
or... did an admin use a destroyall command?
you can check your log files for the later
It was my base. It started with me and then another girl announced it and then another guy announced it.
It was literally gone as if it never existed
The admins of our server are looking into it but they're saying that it looks like an arc issue now
I did. Nada.
is it every player on the server?
I checked all that last night.
No. Just a few of us. It's werod.
Weird*
Ok. Gotta go back to work. Ttyl.
can someone help me
just gonna leave this here for you, but if you were all in caves or near typically non-buildable areas and somehow the toggle for building in caves or in resource rich areas, etc. got flipped, in my experience, all those structures poof @silk sapphire
i need help with a private server, steam
what ur question tho
ill dm you
i have my dms off just ask here
ow, so the server works, but only the host can place buildings and many places on the map have no dinos
@sturdy lark that on all their maps? Kinda sounds like an event server
its a private server made with a seperate pc, no events only 1 map and its lostisland
only the host can place structures and there are less dino's (some parts have none)
Yeah that's odd, I'm not sure about that one. Has the owner said anything or are they also confused?
the owner is my friend i know him, he is trying to fix it by changing the dinospawnrate and stuff but no luck
Might suck but defaulting all his settings might work and then just be careful with what he messes with.
Or do a few changes at a time so he knows that's causing the issue
In the hunted mod, I’m trying to put an egg in a nest via nest’s inventory but I just can’t drop it in
As far as I knew it wasn't and I wasn't built in a cave. Nope. Bit I'll ask about that.

hey, does anybody knows what the reason is when maps crashing with fatal error and tells something about "garbagecollection", taskgraphinterfaces" and "windowsrunnablethread" ? i have this since 2 weeks where everyday another map is crashing with this error...
Is there a setting to change the heat on scorched earth
Tried a verofy?
we have 19 maps, all need an verify?!
verify your own files
no, our server maps crashing with this error message, not my own 😄
DM the message pls
i have
ANy mods?
yes, i can post the list via dm
strange is... we use an auto rcon tool (over two years now) and mostly when it post an broadcast the rcon hangs on all maps and one of them will crash
Nothing stands out as problematic but you could try full reinstall them all. If that fails, see if you still get crashes without any mods
If you stop crashing, then start halving the modlist till it solves the crash and continue to do so till you know the one that's the culprit
..Well if the crashes coincide with using the rcon tool that sounds like the most likely culprit
we have been using the mods for a very long time. and with 19 maps using one without or fewer mods will take a long time because one map always randomly crashes, so I can't predict if and when the "testmap" could crash
culprit?
anyone know why i cant see my dedicated server on the ark list anymore?
Cause
Try reinstalll the rcon tool, or try use a different one and if it has the same issue
do u know some rcon tools i can use? atm its ACCION RCON
I don't, sorry
we had try it without automatic functions (delay and repeat) from this tool, it works for days but then we had this error again and no rcon delay function active
but yes i think we can try it
if i switch wifi connection by not using ethernet do i have to re port forward

I'm here, we've tried everything I could think of
Okay so I have 9 nitrado servers and play on xbox/win10 I should be able to help here lol
Lol thanks any help would be nice
Did you purchase it through the microsoft xbox store?
Yes
Yes we like Rag, and figured we'd up it and add maps if it got populated
Okay. Once you purchased it, installed the game and it restarted did you stop it before making changes to the settings?
At first yes, we've had it about two weeks. Then we downloaded beacon on the PC and made changes there and let beacon stop and start it
Ok. I use beacon as well and use it for my updates. Were there any changes made since you weren't able to log in? or has this been the issue the entire time?
We were gone for the weekend and when we returned earlier we couldn't sign in to any servers including ours. Even after an internet reset as well as a complete system reset, server included

Is there any way to enable the transfer of Trophies between Maps?
Thanks in advance.

I have 9 servers through nitrado and use beacon for mine so I will try my best to answer. This thread is for Cluster owners needing help with their servers and often times better for answers like this one @native stag
ok
When you go to use a obelisk/transmitter do the other servers show up?
yes
Are there any passwords on the servers? (for people joining)
no password
the cluster have 12 maps, no password anywhere
crossark enabled on all?
so what is basically crossark ?
crossark allows you to transfer across maps in a linked cluster
not to be confused with crossplay which is for xbox/win10 players
so i should better explain i think, so when we get to a pillar, we are able to see all map on the cluster, choosing one and initiating the transfer call the map and start to load the mods, then we got a white screen and got disconnected. To make it work we need to lagin again on the destination map, then create a new char. Then getting back on previous map and initiate again the xfer to be able to download the survivor file
Do you have prevent character/items/dinos upload and download set to true in your ini?
yes
Those all need to be set to false.
i mean it is activated
NoTributeDownloads=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
yes it is
this?
yes
Here is some more that has additional ini code you can double check for the servers as well
gonna have a look thanks
No problem. If you see Eclipse in here, they're pretty great with steam side of things as well.
ok thanks again 🙂

Official Server delete dinos over lvl 450 (lvl cap) what is about unofficial servers? Does they by default delete that kind of dinos by a restart too?
and if yes - which setting change this?
Not by default
DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp is the config though
I'm having trouble getting my single player game to use the game ini and gus that I put into it is there something I need to check or mark on the in game settings?
Should work if you saved the changes in the right ini file. Just to double check: Are you trying to edit it for Steam or the Xbox-Gamepass version? Youll need to make sure you edit the right one
Steam
Hmm, is it not using any of the custom settings at all, or just a few specific ones?
Is it also possible PvE/PvP mode might affect the changes you want?
Anyone know a good 25x server? (If so, DM me)
thx
Anyone need an admin for their sever I'm trying to find a server to dedicate time towards and host events I have admin experience
Is there a version of ultrastacks that doesnt reduce weight that mutch?
There's stack ini?

You said they're all coming out primitive. Primitive bps only give primitive crafting. The numbers will change but the quality will not
Using ark server manager to run a server. We can both see it under favorites (using steam server favorites) I can join the server, but anytime my friend tries it says connection timed out. I believe I've port forwarded correctly, and triple checked everything. If anyone has the spare time, could someone assist me. My friend is on a different network than me. Our brains are exploding struggling to find a solution for a few days now. Any tips or help would be much appreciated.
Anyone know a solution to cryo'd uploaded dinos reverting to lv 1 when being uploaded
Clustering if youre on a server
Dont upload them
Use Dino Storage mod's recovery file to move Souls between games. Can't fix the obelisk
Nice edit 🤣 I figured a cluster was the solution I was just hoping it wasn't. I'm a broke ass
I'm on ps4
Rip, it's cluster or buggy dino slots then unfortunately
Oh or Singleplayer, long as you don't load into non-ded someone else hosts, or a server, with cryoed dinos in the obby
..no solution that isn't 'play in a different mode' pretty much:P
It's fucking dumb but yeah no way to get it to work everywhere, it either works in that gamemode or it doesnt
You'd think the server service would come with cloud storage
It's not like you'd need a lot
It's stored locally
got nothing to do with the host
Non-dedi also breaks them if you aren't the host
So how does one go about setting up a cluster
Yea, it depends on where you get the servers from. I rent mine from nitrado. You have to get the servers individually and then link them together.

Is there a command to force a heatwave?
Anyone know spawn code to get hundreds of the colecath valentine fish to spawn all at once? In a fishing area I mean.
Their isn't one as far as I know you just have to spam the fish spawn code
Spawnactorspread
Is that a code bud. If so whats the full version?
Pretty much just 'spawn this amount of this thing here'
There's variants of it for tamed too, SpawnActorTamed/SpawnActorSpreadTamed
Cheers never knew this was a thing
Np, it's handy
It can’t be for both at the same time
You can only get xbox and windows, steam and epic. To run cross ark

I see, apologies.
does ammo box filling not work properly with modified stack size increases? Nvm. Figured it out. Ammo box only fills based on official capacity, not available slots. Also the bullet count on turrets doesnt update unless you leave render range
Lmao @ here doesn’t
Anyways can someone code drops
What
Drops/loot crates
Im trying to get the stuff I want in them
Red-flak armor and weapons bps
Blue-dino saddles
White- flak (any color) taming kit,and cryo pod
Yellow-something random
Green-food
Oh idk
im not sure if this is where im supposed to be posting this so just tell me if its not but If i wanted to change tamed dino stats per level I would do PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[1-9]= in the game ini file right?
I just made a server for me and my friends yesterday so i'm still really new to this stuff and configuring game.ini is kind of daunting
if you are hosting steam server, just use ark server manager if you are new to hosting
im using steam cmd if thats what you're asking
and what is ark server manager?
im also using mods if that changes anything
google ark server manager, I cant post the link.
it is GUI for configuring all the ini and managing multiple servers for steam hosted servers
not official but well supported
it handles mods, ini, server backups, configuration, can do discord bots, etc.
Use beacon for supply loot crate config, you can export ini into the ark server manager (ASM) also from beacon
how can I load the server I created yesterday into the server manager?
the server manager stores the server saved files the same way
just point it towards that. if not start a blank server on the manager and see where it created the saved folders. then copy in your game server files
I imported my gamesettings.ini files and now its saying all my mods are outdated in the server manager when I just installed them yesterday
you have to copy in the mod id into the mod section. it then fetches the mod install files
i just updated them all through the manager but it didnt detect the mod map that im using (Olympus) when I imported the game settings. how can I make it so I can play on a mod map?
Anyone know if activating the event on dedicated is multiplicative with current settings? ie if I have 1.5x xp, will it go to 4.5x
Or does it just overwrite them
I'm not 100% on this but until somebody smarter comes along I'll say it stacks. They disabled the mission buffs on Gen 2 because of this.
time to math
So I have tried this and I keep only getting one fish to spawn. this is the spawn code im using cheat spawnactor "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Coelacanth/Coel_Character_BP_Ocean.Coel_Character_BP_Ocean'" 500 0 0 0 What am I doing wrong?
If anyone else knows please let me know. Trying to get ready for valentines event to where I can spawn in hundreds at one time of the vday cole so everyone can fish in a safe area. Thanks in advance
hey, can I dm you?
Yeah for sure

Looks like the buffs might be able to be suppressed according to the announcement. No idea what it actually does, but seems like the best bet
"If you would like to tweak world buffs on your Unofficial server during the Valentines event:
DisableWorldBuffs=MATINGINTERVAL_DOWN_HARD
MATINGINTERVAL_DOWN_MEDIUM
MATINGINTERVAL_DOWN_EASY
BABYMATURE_BOON_EASY
BABYMATURE_BOON_MEDIUM
BABYMATURE_BOON_HARD"
Love Evolved works on Unofficial servers?
Yeah, just have to activate the events as you like https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/ARK:_Love_Evolved_3 or look up the other codes in the system ini config link
the events work automatically during the official timelines, if you want it to be longer or at different times of the year you can manually enabled events. You will have to server restart to trigger the official event
Is there a single player setting that will increase the distance wild dinos can spawn from you? It's a little frustrating to have a rex or something just spawn within aggro distance and attack me immediately. (I've attempted to Google it and gotten conflicting information)
While you can increase the resource respawn, I don't think that would stop creatures and in sp you want it low anyway, so you don't kill your metal etc. If it's an often visited area, you could build a hut with a feeding trough.
Thank you for showing me this, now that I know about this its 10x easier
Fair enough
Whenever my friend tries to join my modded server he gets “connection to host timeout” would verifying game files on his end be a possible fix?
That's spawnactor, code for a single dino
You need spawnactorspread
rates are not applied to dedicated, that is something you would have to change on your own if you would like. event just enables color spawns etc.
And additionally you will need to add values to the command such as the actual amount and the spread
Yeah I’m still confused lol. Spawn commands are not my forte lol
Spawnactor and spawnactorspread are 2 different commands
The first will only spawn 1 dino. It's not made to be used to spawn multiple
That's what spawnactorspread is fir
I saw there was an example on the link you showed me and I tried that but I guess it was wrong . You mind giving me an example of a proper command?
we have raindanger and raindinos. should have rainfishes
So in my gportal server I just go to the settings and change the active event to Valentine’s Day right?
if your just trying to spawn more fish then use this
admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Coelacanth/Coel_Character_BP.Coel_Character_BP'" 0 0 0 0
<spawn distance, y offset, z offset, creature level> for the last 4 numbers
I know it’s possible to do bc I was on past servers that spawned in a lot at once for fishing events
Yeah give me a sec to grab one, on mobile rn so can't really write a new one
Awesome. I’ll give that a go and change out the BP for the vday fish
That's still for 1 dino
Thanks.
You can send it to me in a DM if it’s easier for ya. I appreciate all the help.
cheat spawnactorspread "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Iguanodon/Iguanodon_Character_BP_aberrant.Iguanodon_Character_BP_aberrant'" 500 0 0 15 700
Uh that's for tamed sec
There
Awesome, that is what I was hoping to figure out
Anyone know if player-dedicateds for Xbox/Win10 are going to get the vday event? No mention of an update and I tried vday this morning and last year’s event activated.
my bad i read that wrong, thought u were trying to get just 1 fish to spawn lol
ETA on the update push for the Dedicated servers?
Yeah clients updated but Dedicated didn't get it yet.
My game just crashed but my server didn’t, is that because of the update?
Now I can’t join my server cause it says deploying
My client updated and now I can't see the server, even though it's running. I ran the update process for the server, but it says App '376030' already up to date.. Is there a way to get the server to update, or to get the client to connect anyway?
gotta wait for the update to go live for unofficial
Dang, so annoying the server update lags behind the client so much.
So everyone’s unofficial is down rn?
i left mine up, used to these updates lagging behind an hour or so :)
Mines up too, can’t join it though
have they not pushed the update to private servers yet?
same, i left our players be for now
steam validated with old version still
ye not yet dude
oh they prolly drop it with xbox at noon then huh
im on steam and no server side update detected yet...
oh rip, forgot cant post links here lol
how are there some test servers already showing? is that wildcard testing the update?
im gonna see if lets me join lol
Just keep an eye on steamdb .info/app/376030/history/ and if it says Public you can update your server.
oh can you send me the full link dm? or whats the first part of link minus the https:// part
Where would it say public?
It says now: arklive, and it should say public when it's pushed.
Ah, ok.
Where do I find this? Kinda new to serves as of yesterday
where does it say this info on the page? sry i must be blind lol
Thanks! I’ll give it a try after lunch
It's public 🙂
I can update my server now?
Yes
Anyone know if I can force the update on gportal? Thair auto update isnt grabbing it
Same my gportal hasn’t updated
Give it time guys
I just want to know when tho
Cuz I’ve restarted me server three times now, the old love items are in the cooking pot but not the new ones?
the future
Like the odd couple and other new stuff ain’t in there
But last years stuff is
Very weird
I’m also curious what my servers game version should be, still 342.22?
There are the usual delays with a larger update filtering thru to all the devices (pc,xbox........) and also to the paid for server hosts ( nitrado, Gportal.... this all takes time and sometimes throws up errors we the players dont see (🤫 ) for the third parties this causes delays. No one can see what error will crop up and no one can forsee when/if a thirdparty needs a fix or the game code needs a tweek. All in all asking for a time scale is like asking for nexts weeks lotto numbers
is there any way to disable certain mission buffs on gen 2 on our unoffical servers?
I totally understand that, I was more just curious if I could trigger it rather than their auto update out of curiosity. Not sure how robust their commands window is compared to a real console for the dedicated servers
Its all good 😃, For gportal ( I dont use it) i think the only thing thats available during an update is a restart. BUT i dont reccommend doing that as it might cause a corrupt file if its still downloading (server side)
I tend to just avoid events on gen2 now....
how long does gportal take before they push the update to the servers?
the cluster im on is preety big so cannot do that
Tbh I usually give all my players a days heads up about updates were possable and let them know that delays are expected
Read 5 lines up ish
i never had it take more than an hour after patch though
lucky you
The last one was like 6 hours later
Thats aleast enough time for a couple of (insert popular Streaming service) episodes or a nice bottle of irish whiskey 😆
I just wish my steam didn't auto update so I could still hop in while it did... reverting and updating again is such a pain lol
You can't turn off auto update?
Id much rather update my client because the server updates not the other way around
If you would like to tweak world buffs on your Unofficial server during the Valentines event:
DisableWorldBuffs=MATINGINTERVAL_DOWN_HARD
MATINGINTERVAL_DOWN_MEDIUM
MATINGINTERVAL_DOWN_EASY
BABYMATURE_BOON_EASY
BABYMATURE_BOON_MEDIUM
BABYMATURE_BOON_HARD```
thank you
are there any more configs?
Mine just started updating
there is one to disable all mission buffs, cant remember it off the top of my head
My server updated 👀 apparently begging is the key
Update is live and mine is finished and running now
mine still isn't updating
Note that corruption is possible but unlikely, so do a backup and world save first. But power down the server and wait a few then power it up. this is how I got mine going
Mine is done too
Does anyone know how to add engrams from a certain map that isn't available in a cluster to all players? For example only extinction is in this cluster. Is there a way to unlock the other DLC engrams without having to go to those maps?
The unlock all engram command will add everything, outside of that I believe you can change some of that with the following. i have not experimented with it so you would need to do more research on full syntax
EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(
EngramClassName="<index>",
LevelToAutoUnlock=<value>
)
https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Server_configuration
https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/273.62
Example given is
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekTeleporter_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=0)
EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Bola_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=3)
Thanks

Is there a way to download my ark server off nitrado if we want to take a break from it for awhile?
They should have FTP access, once you connect you can grab the entire world's files and back them up
Why can I only add 5 levels to my Dino’s?
Are nitrado servers down?
Me to
Nitrado hasnt updated
Ah I see
Good game
Anyone know shadowmane chibi code
you can't spawn them if that's what youre looking to do
It's blocked from being used with give commands
Ahh ok
Anyone’s admin plant x not working

Not the servers being dead because of an update.

Please just move it to another channel.
No servers to set up while they’re all dead lol
Nitrado has a known error right now for some servers not receiving the update as of yet and are working on a fix.
This is a channel to discuss unofficial server settings, not promote your twitch account.
Don't be that guy.
Is anyone else having problems with servers showing up?
Is your server hosted through nitrado?
Nitrado is currently working on a fix for some servers that did not receive the patch.
@steel rivet .
Yes?
#customer-support . This channel is for server setups. I am not a Wildcard employee.
Any news on the servers?
It’s ark of course not
Figured
Wildcard still hasn’t sent the files to nitrado
Ahhhhhh so this is all server..
