FAQ
Is this a DLC/ARK’s next map?
The Sunken World isn’t part of Wildcard and Vanilla ARK, it’s a community made mod project that aims to revamp and TLC the ocean in the same way that Scorched Earth created a whole new playing experience with its biome themed map.

Where can I get this?
You can download the mod on the Steam workshop. Please note you will have to download both The Sunken World, which supplies the map, and TSW Additions, which is what adds the creatures, resources and map mechanics

Will this be coming to consoles?
Likely not. As this is a mod project, this won’t be available for consoles unless Wildcard sponsors the mod and makes it official content. However, we have concerns for content being capped or removed if the situation was given, so the process would require negotiation. In the end, we have a lot of work, and it would be a waste if parts of that work would get removed.

Can you please add “X” creature?
As we have a very large roster, it is unlikely we will be able to add any creatures at the moment. We do really appreciate your creature ideas, we love to see how involved the community wants to be with the mod project, however we can’t really add any more creatures in at the moment, as we have quite a large workload as is. However, in the future, we may have some kind of contest or sponsorship program for the addition of certain creatures.

Will there be bosses/a story to this map?
TSW will most definitely have its own bosses and storyline, however this will be later down the line. Definitely keep an eye on the discord in the months to come, as more will be revealed on what lurks beneath the surface. Be prepared for the mysteries you may uncover deep under the sea…

Will creatures from other mods be compatible with this modded map?
Technically no, creature modders will need to use my spawn entries (which will be provided in a discussion on the workshop page) in order to get their creatures to spawn on the map. Other modders or myself would also have to make sure not to name our creature spawn codes the same. (for example my Anomalocaris is called Anom_Character_BP_C).

What is the map name used for running a server?
The name you put in the map drop down is "SunkenWorld".

How complete is this project atm?
The map itself is 25 - 30% complete however the creature mod that complements it has a long way to go.

Where are the spawns codes for this mod/map?
Go to the TSW Additions or ARK: The Sunken World mod page, click on Popular Discussions, click on the pinned discussion called “Spawn Codes”.
