Hey, i have a workaround

1. cd /ARKHOME/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/
1b. mv steamapps/ steamapps.old (when you have this directory )
2. cp -R /home/YOURUSER/Steam/steamapps/ .
3. then start the Server...
4. Show here  -> cd /ARKVERZEICHNIS/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps/workshop/content/346110
if the date change or something changes
5. when the server is with ps x finish amd have no steamcmd commands in the prozess tan
6. check if the mods are on the actualy date ls - lah /home/EUERUSER/ARKVERZEICHNIS/ShooterGame/Content/Mods/

i have test it on one server and all is good

sorry for my bad English

I think the only problem is that the steamcmd.sh command is missing the force_install_dir parameter.

Its still downloading mods to /home folder instead of server/Content/Mods and if you upload mods manually and leave -automanagedmods, it will delete all .mod files from /Content/Mods

 

Please Devs, take a look at this.

I'm not 100% sure, but at least on my Server it looks like Steamcmd silently changed its working dir from "<PathToSteamcmd>/steamapps" to "$HOME/Steam/steamapps". This was causing my own Scripts to think all mods are still uptodate, because it was still comparing with old workdirectory.

If my timestamps are correct this happend on 5th of May.

My Solution was a Symlink ($Home should be the home of the User, which is running the Steamcmd-Updates):
 

rm -rf <PathToSteamcmd>/steamapps/workshop && ln -s $HOME/Steam/steamapps/workshop <PathToSteamcmd>/steamapps/workshop

Been having the same issue too, duped the ticket (Didnt see this post)

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/188269-linux-server-automanagedmods-doesnt-update-mods/

Can confirm that symlinking Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps/workshop to where steamcmd is actually downloading the mods works

[ark@games 1]# ls -l Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ogp_agent ogp_agent 40 May 16 09:58 workshop -> /home/ogp_agent/Steam/steamapps/workshop

In theory, would probably be better to symlink Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps to the steamcmd location (In my case /home/ogp_agent/Steam/steamapps)

EDIT: Updated my symlink to be steamapps instead of workshop, and seems to work OK

Jesus! Didn't read your post edition.

Now is working for me! The mods are automatically copied to the 'ShooterGame/Content/Mods'.

 

Love for you. Will be this solution temporal? Definitive?

Thank you @PrimusNZ

Yeah, no. I am not going to install third party software on my server adding another layer of complexity and requiring me to reconfigure all my existing servers. Having to reconfigure everything to get my clustered servers running does not seem all that appealing.

By the looks of it, the server tools also uses steamcmd which seems broken at the moment.

For now I'll just FTP the mods to my server like some sort of savage.

For my Linux server I can confirm that the solution with the symlink pointing to ....\steamapps is working as well! Mods are updating once server is starting up.

Thanks PrimusNZ!

@Plofkat

I understand if you don't want to install third party apps, but adding symlinks is neither a thirdparty tool nor a complex thing to do for a server admin. Maybe give it a try :)

So you're trying to re-invent the wheel.  Good luck with that.    Wouldn't your custom script be a 3rd party app by definition?

While you manually uploading all your mod updates through FTP, we will be doing an "arkmanger update --update-mods @all" and be done updating not only any pending ark updates but all 3 clustered servers and mods in 2 to 3 minutes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I've been trying to figure this out for 2 days now and there are many many many pieces of advice about mods on ARK servers, but a lot of it is outdated, but it takes a while to figure that out. I was completely stumped that when I thought I had everything correct, I still got errors that my mod versions didn't match the server version.

This needs to be a sticky in this forum until things get fixed.

Same issue, fixed with

 rm -rf /home/ogp_agent/OGP_User_Files/18/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps

mkdir /home/ogp_agent/OGP_User_Files/18/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps

ln -s /home/ogp_agent/Steam/steamapps/* /home/ogp_agent/OGP_User_Files/18/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps/

now downloads mods.
