YALMP - Yet another Linux Mods problem

I have steamcmd installed in the ./ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ directory.

I have Game.ini with:

[ModInstaller]
ModIDS=731604991
ModIDS=751991809
ModIDS=793605978
ModIDS=821530042
ModIDS=942185438

I have GUS.ini with:

ActiveMods=731604991,751991809,793605978,821530042,942185438

 

I start the server with:

./ShooterGameServer TheCenter?SessionName=DuranceCenter?AltSaveDirectoryName=DuranceCenter?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?GameModIds=731604991,751991809,793605978,821530042,942185438 -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=DuranceCLSTR -NoBattlEye -automanagedmods

OR

./ShooterGameServer TheCenter?SessionName=DuranceCenter?AltSaveDirectoryName=DuranceCenter?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015 -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=DuranceCLSTR -NoBattlEye -automanagedmods

The output I get is:

~/ark/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux$ ./ShooterGameServer TheCenter?SessionName=DuranceCenter?AltSaveDirectoryName=DuranceCenter?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?GameModIds=731604991,751991809,793605978,821530042,942185438 -NoTransferFromF
iltering -clusterid=DuranceCLSTR -NoBattlEye -automanagedmods

All files and directories are owned by  user:group steam:steam which is the user i'm running the game as.

 

No additional content ever appears in the Content/Mods/ folder Either:

~/ark$ ls ShooterGame/Content/Mods/
111111111  111111111.mod  Ragnarok  TheCenter  Valguero

 

Steam client shows the server running in my servers window with the correct map and ports. It does NOT show up in the server list under LAN or favorites.

If I remove automanagedmods it does the same thing. Server boots fine without any mod configurations.

I do not wish to utilize third party software like ark-server-tools or LGSM for various reasons. I don't want to manually download mods on a windows machine for the same various reasons.

 

Is it possible to get this game's dedicated linux server working with mods without having to resort to third party software managers or manual transfers from windows machines? If so what am I doing wrong here?

Has anyone actually gotten a linux server to install mods without using third party software EVER? or at least in the last 3 months?

I use this tool to manage my Linux servers: https://github.com/FezVrasta/ark-server-tools

According to the README, you need to install mods from the Windows branch, which this software does automatically. That implies there is a way to install mods from the Windows branch using steamcmd, you might be able to find how it's done in the source code.
