[How-To] Mod loading / stacking (Server)
This guide is a how to for uploading mod(s) to server
- If you don't know how to FTP/upload to your server contact your provider

  • 1:
    A. Subscribe to the mod...
    B. Start up Ark (Will automatically start the download of the mod(s) into Steam\steamapps\common\Ark\ShooterGame\Content\Mods\)

  • 2:
    When the installation is done go to Steam\steamapps\common\Ark\ShooterGame\Content\Mods\ and locate the mod
    - Search for; 515417171 - You'll see a folder and a .mod file which are both required for it to work
    In case you don't see both... restart Ark / repeat Step 1: B

  • 3:
    A. Make sure you have a folder called Mods on your server ShooterGame\Content\Mods\
    - In case you don't already have a Mods folder simply create one inside ShooterGame\Content\
    B. Upload the files or zip file into that folder ShooterGame\Content\Mods\
    - In case you've ziped it remember to unzip it when it's uploaded

  • 4:
    Open up your GameUserSettings.ini and search for ActiveMods under the [ServerSettings] section...
    In case you don't already have it simply add ActiveMods=515417171 just below [ServerSettings] on a new line
    If you already have other mods installed simply add 515417171, in-between after the ActiveMods= (Ie. ActiveMods=515417171,479295136)
    - Stacking mods are done by separating them with a comma (aka ,)

  • 5:
    A. Start and join your server
    - In case it was already running simply stop it and make sure you're settings in GameUserSettings.ini hasn't been removed before you start it again
    B. When in-game check the ESC menu and see if you can see mod name and description
    - If you can't see the mod name and description make sure you've done step 4 correctly and still got ActiveMods=515417171 under [ServerSettings]
    Also make sure you've actually saved the changes not to mention edited the right config depending on if you're on Windows or Linux
    WindowsServer @ ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini and LinuxServer @ ShooterGame\Saved\Config\LinuxServer\GameUserSettings.ini
    C. Enjoy

the ark server manager, appears that the mod is active, but the level of animals are always very low, you would have there some prints of how to make and what not to mess to work?
