Guider för ARK: Survival Ascended och Evolved: ansluta, adminkommandon, GameUserSettings.ini och Game.ini, mods, RAM, omstarter och överförda sparfiler.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Om dessa guider

ARK finns i två versioner som hostas olika, så guiden som jämför Survival Ascended med Survival Evolved är värd att läsa innan du beställer: de skiljer sig i RAM, i hur mods installeras och i hur krävande de är. Att ansluta har en egen guide eftersom ARK:s serverlista inte alltid är den snabbaste vägen in.

Därefter handlar det om inställningar och underhåll. GameUserSettings.ini och Game.ini rymmer tillsammans nivåer och regler, adminkommandon täcker moderering och tester, mods kommer från CurseForge på Ascended och från Workshop på Evolved, och schemalagda omstarter betyder mer på ARK än på nästan något annat spel på grund av hur minnesanvändningen växer under en lång session.
