About this mod

This mod is no longer being updated. Tired of gigas and quetzals making every other mount obsolete? Wish you had a reason to actually use that raptor you’ve been so fond of since you started playing? Well then this might be the mod for you! Balance Evolved

How to install on an ARK: Survival Evolved server

Four steps. Stop the server first, ActiveMods is read on startup.

  1. 1

    Copy the Mod ID

    The Mod ID for this mod is 693233873. Use the Copy ModID or Copy Install Line button in the sidebar.

    When a Steam Workshop mod is installed, SteamCMD fetches the workshop item by this ID on first startup. No manual file copies needed.

  2. 2

    Stop the server, open GameUserSettings.ini

    1. Log in to your server panel and STOP the server.
    2. Navigate to the config directory, usually: ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ (or WindowsServer on Windows hosts).
    3. Open GameUserSettings.ini and find (or create) the [ServerSettings] header.
  3. 3

    Add or extend the ActiveMods line

    Add a single ActiveMods= entry inside [ServerSettings]. Mod IDs are comma-separated. The order matters: mods later in the list override earlier ones.

    Single mod
    [ServerSettings]
    ActiveMods=693233873
    #Balance Evolved
    Multiple mods (load-order matters)
    [ServerSettings]
    ActiveMods=693233873,111111111,222222222

    The # line is a comment, INI parsers ignore it, but it keeps your file readable when you have many mods.

  4. 4

    Restart the server

    Save the file and start the server. SteamCMD downloads the workshop item on first boot, expect a brief startup delay on the first run. Subsequent restarts are normal speed.

    For map mods, also set ?Map= in your launch parameters, for example ShooterGameServer Ragnarok?listen?....
