It’s been a good time but all things meet their end at some point. It’s been a fun and long going Project that has turned into a very ressource intensive burden over time. To free ressources for other projects and also due to mental health concerns in combination with the effort to maintain it, I thus end this project as announced 6 months prior and upload the Savegames free for anyone to use, along the scripts and configs that were used.
If you wanna keep playing:
The setup was running on a Linux Server. Thus the scripts to start and update the installation (all starting with “ark*” along the xposed.cfg) are written in bash and will not work in Windows. They’re just containing the startup parameters, so you may use them as a reference. Copy the Savegames & Config into your existing steamcmd installation with the dedicated ARK server installed (I keept the directory structure in the Archive), set up the port forwarding (7777-7878 & 26900-27500), edit the scripts (mostly just the paths), use them and be good to go. The GameUserSettings.ini is shared, the startup parameters in the scripts override the parameters in the config, thus it can be used for the whole cluster with the ports and map names setup in the scripts.
You can most likely use the Savegames & Config in a windows server as well. The config directory there is not named “LinuxServer ” (Move them). The rest of the directory structure should be the same. You will need your own startup script or set the parameters accordingly if you rent a server. I have not tested it but it should work just fine.
