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 2943130353. 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=2943130353
    #Unique Critters
    Multiple mods (load-order matters)
    [ServerSettings]
    ActiveMods=2943130353,111111111,222222222

    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?....
