ToeiRei Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi guys, I know this might sound a bit typical for a girl, but I am attached to some Dinos on my current map. On the other hand I'd like to try other maps with my significant other, leaving the old map intact to be able to get back to it and feed my beloved and hand raised Rex that saved my digital bottom more than once by now. Is it possible to switch back and forth between maps or is there any way to get around tribe permission problems? Cheers Rei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivar Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yes this is possible. Every map has it's own save-file. So when you change maps, just store the TheIsland.ark or other .ark file somewhere safe. When you swap back to the map in the configuration, turn down the server, overwrite the save file and restart the server. DO NOT touch any of the .tribe or .profile files!

botterle Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If you allow the up/download you can upload your char/gear/dinos and download it on the other map if you like to take something with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housatonic Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The more elaborate alternative being a cluster, of course, a group of two or more servers with different maps you can transfer between at will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess running 2 servers would be overkill here as I would have to drag in extra hardware to feed the beast. On the other hand it's too many animals around on our tribe we really care for. Equipment is easily replaceable, but 'home' (in terms of where the heart is) isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just set up multiple servers on the one machine (Ark Server Manager is great for this if you're on Windows) and only run the servers you're playing on at the time, that's all my wife and I do. We have six servers running on an older i7 machine with 16GB RAM and we just start up the ones we're using and leave the others off. I can run 3 or at a push 4 servers at once on this spec.

ToeiRei Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm on Linux due to Licensing questions, on a virtual machine - so I'm on 8 GB RAM which allows me to run one server at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
