ARK

Guides serveur ARK: Survival Ascended et Evolved : se connecter, commandes admin, GameUserSettings.ini et Game.ini, mods, RAM, redémarrages et transferts de sauvegardes.

• Back up and restore an ARK save

  An ARK world is a .ark map file plus a profile file for every player and a tribe file for every tribe, and a backup only works if you take all of them together with the server stopped.

• Run an ARK cluster across several maps

  A cluster is two or more ARK servers that share a cluster ID and a transfer folder, so your players can take their survivor, their tames and their gear from one map to the next.

• How to Enable Cheats in ARK: Admin Commands

  To become an admin on your ARK server, open the in-game console, type enablecheats followed by your server admin password, and you can then run cheat commands like giveitem, fly and settimeofday to manage the world.

• Schedule automatic restarts to keep ARK stable

  ARK slowly uses more memory the longer it runs, so setting up an automatic restart every 6 to 12 hours on the Scheduled tasks page keeps your server fast and stable, and saving the world first means nobody loses progress.

• ARK server settings: GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini

  Most ARK server settings live in two files you edit on the Server properties page: GameUserSettings.ini for common options like XP, taming and harvest rates, and Game.ini for deeper tuning like breeding and per-level stats.

• ARK Ascended vs Evolved: hosting differences

  The two ARK games host very differently: ARK: Survival Ascended is the newer Unreal Engine 5 version that needs far more RAM and loads mods from CurseForge, while ARK: Survival Evolved is lighter to run and uses Steam Workshop mods.

• Connect to your ARK server (Ascended and Evolved)

  To connect to your GuavaHost ARK server, copy the server IP and port from the top of your server page, then either add it to your Steam favorites, find it in the in-game session browser with the Unofficial filter on, or use the console open command to connect directly.

• How much RAM does an ARK server need?

  ARK is one of the most memory-hungry games you can host. Plan on 8 GB for a small ARK: Survival Evolved server and 16 GB for ARK: Survival Ascended.

• Install mods on ARK: CurseForge (Ascended) vs Workshop (Evolved)

  ARK: Survival Ascended loads mods from CurseForge using their numeric mod IDs, while ARK: Survival Evolved uses Steam Workshop IDs, and on GuavaHost you add either kind on your server's Mods page.

• Transfer an existing ARK save to GuavaHost

  To move an existing ARK world to GuavaHost, stop both servers, copy your SavedArks files across with SFTP so the map name matches, and start it up, or simply open a ticket and let our team migrate it for you.

À propos de ces guides

ARK existe en deux versions qui s'hébergent différemment, donc le guide qui compare Survival Ascended et Survival Evolved vaut la lecture avant de commander : elles diffèrent par la RAM, par la façon d'installer les mods, et par leur gourmandise. La connexion a son propre guide parce que la liste de serveurs d'ARK n'est pas toujours le chemin le plus rapide.

Après cela, place aux réglages et à l'entretien. GameUserSettings.ini et Game.ini contiennent à eux deux les taux et les règles, les commandes admin couvrent la modération et les tests, les mods viennent de CurseForge sur Ascended et du Workshop sur Evolved, et les redémarrages planifiés comptent plus sur ARK que sur presque tout autre jeu, à cause de la façon dont la mémoire utilisée grimpe au fil d'une longue session.
