LHammonds Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I have found out that downloading workshop mods via SteamCMD does not yield working mods. They are compressed .z file and missing the mod info file. These commands will download the mod archives but not make it usable in-game: steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir /opt/ark/template +workshop_download_item 346110 1999447172 +quit mv /opt/ark/template/steamapps/workshop/content/346110/1999447172 /opt/ark/template/ShooterGame/Content/Mods/. What is the best working method for just installing mods without installing some giant ark server management program designed to manage every aspect of Ark? Thanks, LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 The solution to this question is a python script. One was made here but does not work out of the box for Linux: Ark_Mod_Downloader With some modifications, it could download/installed one mod at a time. I will publish the patched .py file and the Bash script used to loop through all the mods as part of a how-to guide for installing Ark on Ubuntu.
