Hi Everyone,
We have been working very hard on our ARK Survival Evolved Configuration this December, we are proud to announce some large updates to our Ark configuration.
New Steam Workshop Mod Updater
We are excited to announce we have developed and implemented a dynamic and schedulable workshop mod updater\downloader tool, previous restrictions with ark remote and automodupdates switch in the commandline (built into the server application) are not a problem with this new system,
previously ark remote started to have issues with the mods tab requiring a bypass fix and both methods suffered from a 255 folder text character path issue, Automodupdates switch was also found to not be downloading all mods correctly, this is all resolved in this new method.
This new method can be started with one click and will not stop your server when running (Most mods don't need to have the server stopped) and has an action for overwriting\verifying data) - avoiding the issue of mod data being wiped as some mods save character\mod data in their mod directories,
once running it will then show on-screen step by step what mods it's downloading and installing, if successful and you can actively follow it's progress.
It will then show once finished, this can also be scheduled via our scheduling feature for a certain time\date that you choose.
Configuration files update
We have taken the time to implement and update our Configuration Editor views of GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini files, you can now define all major options in our GUI options and enter the parameters you choose into them,
no need to use Ark Remote or manually enter via text editor the options you want to have, all options are avaliable and can be configured easily straight fro mthe game control panel.
ARK Survival Evolved Clusters
For those who did not receive the last Email, we were the first host to start offering ARK clustering and have clustered over 1000+ Ark Servers, this is where we link two or more Ark Servers together which allows players to travel seamlessly between them,
with their data\dinosaurs etc being carried over, this was introduced with the Scorched Earth DLC update.
It's hugely popular to have one server running The Island\The Center and the other running Scorched Earth so server owners and their players can enjoy them at the same time. If you are interested in clustering your current server to another,
please contact us, we cluster servers together free of charge, our team is always happy to help.
From all at Citadel Servers,
Merry Christmas and Happy new Year
