Ark is a wonderfully unique game, and you did a great job. I'm a developer but know nothing about game programming so my idea could be far off. It's not so much a mesh problem but a problem of players abusing the game mechanics. The solution is to ban them if it is too complicated or even impossible to fix the mesh. Record each steam id position during the game once every second. Should keep the database reasonably compact. That should give you after some time complete point cloud of legit player movements including unintentional brief undermeshing. Once the cloud is completed program the server kick out every player that is outside of the usual boundaries. Than ban after repeated offense. Fancy solution to this would be to use point cloud to teach a simple neural network to classify player action and ban after review. Plus of this is that if designed well it could catch more than just undermeshing but also other exploits.
