I enjoy the game a lot and love to spend a lot of time playing it, but there is a simple problem that I am facing is that the server I am playing with does not have Gen1, Gen2 or Crystal Isles, even though I bought the DLC, the name of the server is AsiaCrossARK10, Knowing that it is a server of the game, Thank you.

Add back creatures WC removed via ini Last year when valguero launched I saw this thread: And I want to create something similar, so I'm going to try and make this a repository for all ini changes you can use. I will add a few over time, and if anyone comments with ini changes I will add them to this post. This is your one stop shop for ini changes! Please note we can only add back creatures already in the game like griffins, we will not be able to add in things like the Grand Embertross or any other modded creaturs via the ini.

If I see a lot of interest ill post it here. P. D. Certain ini changes like to add rock Drake's back in are usually blocked by WC so sorry if you were hoping for that. But thankfully WC has only blocked a small number of creatures and almost never blocks engram unlocks! P.P.D. I am also running a win 10 server cluster, and if their are any server owners out there who are interested I can share how I got that setup as well! Happy Arking!

Found on the Crystal Isles, Basilisk's are large serpents who flourish on the Aberration, Genesis Part 1 and 2 and Crystal Isles Expansion Packs/Maps, and the only way to tame them is through passively feeding them either Magmasaur, Voidwyrm and/or Rock Drake Eggs. However, on the Crystal Isles (Free DLC Expansion Map) there are no Voidwyrms, Rock Drakes or Magmasaurs, this alone makes it where players have to either upload the eggs from other servers that have the other three Expansion Maps, or having to use cheat commands to obtain these eggs, or "forcetame" a basilisk. Just as a suggestion for the Crystal Isles Map. Could players instead feed Basilisk's Fertile Crystal Wyvern Eggs as an alternative. This would allow players who don't currently own Aberration or the Genesis Season Pass to be able to tame this serpent without having to buy these DLC's or having to use cheat commands in the game. This is just my team's suggestions. Any Ideas that you have, suggest below. - MonstersHunters

Hi All! So been wanting to add some of the dinos that were taking out of Crystal Isles map. I followed https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/2574319728560692464/ as a baseline, but, I didn't want to add all the dinos (mostly ferrox, enforcer, gachas, and bloodstalkers). I also saw within that thread, that people suggested downloading Ark Server Manager (ASM), so I did. After comparing the results from the thread and the output from ASM (it creates the syntax and format for the .ini files), the below output is what I put in the game.ini file, under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings]. The dinos aren't spawning. I didn't do the cheat dinowipe, however, my daily server reset shoulddo that. What am I missing/what do I need to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been on Crystal Isles now for awhile and I'm having a hard time finding snails. I've watched multiple videos, and went to said locations only to come up empty handed. I've flown around redwoods and found nothing. Can anyone recommend spots they've had luck finding them?

My friend and I are starting up a server for Xbox using a PC as the host for the first time. For some reason we can't join the server unless our device is on the same wi-fi network as the server. I seen a lot of posts across the internet about not being able to join a server from the SAME network as the host, but nothing about what to do if you can't join from a DIFFERENT network. For clarification you can join without any issue if you are using the same wi-fi as the host server. We are using the Windows version of the game for the host, no mods, and the Crystal Isles map. Any ideas on what to do?
