psychonaut Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 server setup, cheats needed i think... Hi I hope you are well. compete noob at ARK. i have today set up a server on our lan for my son and myself. we dont have hours and hours to play, so when we do play its not great to have to spend 20 minutes getting resources etc to start with and its not great when we loose all our stuff all the time. i know this inst what the game intended but it would be nice to a) not die every time we log off for some period of time - i dont know how to shut the server down gracefully (its started from batch file calling shootergameserver.exe), or if there is some other method b) be able to get our stuff back easily if we get killed let me know please! thanks for your help.

psychonaut Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 thanks for your reply. i cant type into the server window. but i can just close it - if that's ok to do then i will keep doing that, but is that definitely safe to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkfields Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 You can't type in the server window... Assuming you're not on console... In your game, press the TAB key and enter commands there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHighlander Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 If you're running your server on Windows and as you describe using a batch file I assume you are, then you may want to look at using Ark Server Manager. Initially it looks a bit complex but it makes managing servers MUCH simpler. https://arkservermanager.freeforums.net/thread/5193/downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
