Dedicated Server - Manual

Subscribe to the mod.
Launch the game.
Go to your games mod folder, '..\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods' and copy the folder named '507648142' AND the file named '507648142.mod' to your servers mod folder, '..\ShooterGame\Content\Mods'. If you don't see these files go to the single player option in-game and click 'refresh mods' and make sure the mod shows up in the list.
Add the mod ID to your command line launch.
It should look something like this: start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?ModId=507648142?listen
Connect to your server and test that it is working by running 'cheat summon BabyDodo_Character_BP_C'. If you spawn a baby dodo then the mod is installed. Make sure you enabled cheats and enter the server password correctly if set.

Dedicated Servers - 3rd Party Host

If the above process does not work contact your server host and ask them to setup it up. I don’t have experience with 3rd party hosts.

Dedicated Servers - Ark Server Manager

Load the mod via the UI. The rest should be done for you.

Server Settings

There are a lot of different settings that you can change within the mod if you choose to change them you can go to this page to learn how to do so: Setting Information

Safely Updating

Due to the nature of early access things can break between game updates. In order to avoid losing all your structures and dinosaurs follow these steps when a new version of the game is released.
Shut down the server.
Backup the most recent saved ark data, found in your servers '..\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks' folder.
Update the server.
Delete the old mod folder and .mod file from the server.
Grab the lastest version of the mod following the 'Dedicated Server - Manual' directions assuming you are running a dedicated server.
Start the server. Wait till it has loaded.
Go to the '..\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks' folder and copy the file named 'TheIsland_AntiCorruptionBackup.bak'. Keep this file safe, it will save you from losing all your content if something broke in the new game update.
Connect to your server and confirm that all the content still exists, if it does then everything is working fine and you can carry on as normal. If not follow the steps below.

If all content is now gone then something broke between versions, wait for a new mod update, a new game update or information from me. As long as you keep the 'TheIsland_AntiCorruptionBackup.bak' file you will be able to recover all lost content when the problem is fixed.
Always keep a safe copy of 'TheIsland_AntiCorruptionBackup.bak' if you lost your content in an update. When a new mod version or game version comes out rename a copy of 'TheIsland_AntiCorruptionBackup.bak' to 'TheIsland.ark' and move it into your servers '..\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks' folder. This will overwrite anything that’s happened on the server since you saved the file originally so be careful. If the mod/game has had the problems resolved your server should start and you should have all your content back.

Troubleshooting

If you can't get the mod working make sure everything has been updated to the lastest version. Check the forums to see if other mods are having problems too. The game is constantly being updated and problems may arise. If a new game/mod version has broken the mod for you and none of the other steps work the best course of action is to keep your backups safe, post your problem and wait for an update from me or the devs.

Compatibility

Works with existing saved games, dedicated and singleplayer. Does not change existing dinos that have been tamed or that are alive in the world. You may need to wait for new dinos with DNA to spawn.

Removing the mod will remove all baby and adult dinos; and any structures included in the mod.
