ObeliskOS | ARK: Survival Ascended Discord Community Bot Project

Overview

Discover ObeliskOS, a Python-based ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) Discord bot project featuring 30 top-level slash commands, 2 subscription tiers, and 12 major feature systems covering player linking, player tracking, economy, shops, tribes, auctions, server management, leaderboards, logging and more.

ObeliskOS was designed as a multi-server ASA community platform, allowing a single Discord bot to manage multiple game servers and communities. The project includes Pterodactyl and Nitrado hosting adapters, RCON functionality, a MySQL database architecture, subscription feature gating and a range of Discord-based community systems.

This is a full-ownership development project, not a finished production-ready commercial product. Development was stopped while the project was still being tested. Pterodactyl received the most real-world testing, while some other functionality and integrations require additional verification.

The project is being sold AS-IS to a developer, ASA server owner, community operator or entrepreneur who wants an existing codebase and a substantial head start rather than building an ASA Discord platform from scratch.

What Is Included

The buyer receives the ObeliskOS source code and associated project documentation.

The project includes 30 top-level slash commands covering user, administration, server setup, economy, shops, tribes, monitoring, logging and subscription management.

The project also contains 12 major feature areas:

1. Server Setup & Configuration

ObeliskOS includes a /server-manager system for configuring the bot and registering game servers.

Features include:

• Pterodactyl server registration

• Nitrado server registration

• Server connection testing

• Server editing and removal

• Linked-player Discord role configuration

• Per-server settings

• Logging configuration

• Currency configuration

• Embed customisation

• Server status and /ping monitoring

Both the Free and Premium subscription tiers currently allow unlimited game servers. The subscription system is feature-based rather than server-count-based.

2. Player Linking

ObeliskOS includes Discord-to-ASA player linking.

The linking system supports:

• EOS IDs

• Steam

• Xbox

• PlayStation

• In-game verification codes

• Player profiles

• Administrator profile management

• Forced linking

• Unlinking

• Editing linked player information

• Automatic Discord role assignment

The EOS verification process uses a 6-character verification code generated for the player to complete the linking process in-game.

3. Player Tracking

The project includes player session and activity tracking.

Depending on the hosting adapter, ObeliskOS can detect:

• Player joins

• Player leaves

• Player deaths

• Taming events

• Session start/end

• Session history

Pterodactyl supports real-time event handling, including join/leave, death and taming events.

Nitrado uses API polling for player tracking. The current implementation uses a 10-second default polling interval, meaning joins and leaves are detected through periodic player-list checks rather than an instantaneous websocket stream.

4. Economy System

ObeliskOS includes a database-backed player economy.

The economy includes:

• /bank

• Currency balances

• Transaction history

• Online-time currency rewards

• Taming currency rewards

• Player-to-player gifting

• Administrator currency management

• Economy administration

• Currency configuration

• Leaderboards

The online currency system is configurable and synchronises rewards on a recurring basis.

Taming currency rewards are part of the Premium feature set, while taming events themselves can still be tracked and logged.

5. Scavenge System

ObeliskOS includes a randomised /scavenge community activity.

The system provides:

• Random scenarios

• Per-player cooldowns

• Currency rewards

• Default seeded scenarios

• Per-server scenario configuration

• Configurable cooldowns

• Scenario enable/disable controls

• Scavenge logging

The default scavenge cooldown is 30 minutes.

6. Currency Withdrawal

The project includes a Premium withdrawal system that can convert player currency into an in-game item.

The system includes:

• Withdrawal configuration

• Blueprint path configuration

• Item quality

• Stack size

• Currency cost

• Withdrawal requests

• Administrator approval

• RCON delivery

• Withdrawal logging

7. Tribe System

ObeliskOS includes a dedicated Discord-based tribe system.

Players can manage tribes with:

• Tribe creation

• Invitations

• Joining and leaving

• Tribe information

• Player lookup

• Leader, administrator and member roles

• Leadership transfers

• Promotions and demotions

• Member removal

• Tribe base coordinates

• Per-map tribe information

• Tribe bank

• Tribe activity logging

Tribe invitations expire after 2 days, with an automated cleanup process.

The complete tribe system, including the tribe bank, is part of the Premium tier.

8. Shop System

The project contains a Discord-based shop system connected to the ObeliskOS economy.

The shop supports:

• Categories

• Items

• Purchases

• Item gifting

• Order history

• RCON-delivered items

• Multi-command items

• Support tickets

• Mystery boxes

• Custom RCON items

• Persistent claim/support views

• Purchase logging

• Automatic purchase expiry and refund handling

The Free tier allows up to 5 active shop items.

Premium removes this limit and allows unlimited active shop items.

Standard purchases have a 48-hour claim window, after which the purchase can expire and be automatically refunded.

9. Auction House

ObeliskOS contains a Premium auction house designed around Discord forum threads.

Features implemented include:

• Auction listings

• Item and tame listings

• Listing titles and images

• Starting prices

• Configurable durations

• Bidding

• Outbid notifications

• Bid escrow

• Buy-now purchases

• Snipe protection

• Listing cancellation

• Bidder refunds

• Seller/buyer delivery confirmation

• Auction logging

• Administrator auction controls

The auction house was implemented during development but was mostly untested before development stopped. Buyers should therefore expect to test and potentially debug this system.

10. Logging System

ObeliskOS includes a configurable Discord logging system.

The project provides logging for activities including:

• Player joins

• Player leaves

• Deaths

• Taming

• Currency changes

• Currency gifts

• Scavenge activity

• Shop purchases

• Shop claims

• Shop gifts

• Shop tickets

• Tribe activity

• Administrator actions

• Auctions

• System events

Individual logging categories can be routed to configured Discord channels.

11. Leaderboards

The project includes Premium leaderboards covering multiple player statistics.

The documented leaderboard categories include:

• Playtime

• Currency balance

• Deaths

• Taming

This gives ASA communities a way to add competitive statistics and progression to their Discord community.

12. Free & Premium Feature System

ObeliskOS contains 2 subscription tiers:

The Free tier provides core systems including player linking, player tracking, basic currency, scavenge, the standard shop and logging.

The Premium tier adds features including:

• Taming currency rewards

• Leaderboards

• Tribes

• Scavenge configuration

• Currency withdrawal

• Advanced shop features

• Auction house

• Custom currency names

• Custom embed colours

• Mod manager functionality

• Discord server commands

The subscription architecture was designed for a hosted multi-community model where one bot instance can serve multiple Discord communities.

Technology & Architecture

ObeliskOS is primarily a Python project using discord.py and MySQL.

ObeliskOS Technical Stack
-------------------------
Language: Python
Discord Framework: discord.py
Database: MySQL
Game: ARK: Survival Ascended

Hosting / Server Systems
------------------------
Pterodactyl
Nitrado
RCON

Subscription Model
------------------
2 tiers: Survivor + Ascended
Free/Premium feature gating

The project contains a hosting adapter architecture intended to separate server-provider functionality from the rest of the bot.

This provides a foundation for adding or modifying hosting providers without rebuilding the entire bot architecture.

Hosting Integrations

Pterodactyl

Pterodactyl is the hosting platform that received the most real-world testing during development.

The documented Pterodactyl adapter supports:

• Player joins/leaves

• Death events

• Taming events

• RCON commands

• Player-list retrieval

• Server status

Nitrado

ObeliskOS also contains a Nitrado adapter.

The Nitrado implementation uses API polling for player tracking and RCON for server commands.

Nitrado should be considered implemented but requiring buyer verification, particularly because it did not receive the same level of real-world testing as the Pterodactyl setup.

RCON

RCON functionality is used for server command execution and features such as in-game item delivery.

The RCON implementation should be tested by the buyer with their own ASA server environment.

Subscription & Payment Model

ObeliskOS includes a subscription feature-gating system with 2 implemented tiers: Survivor and Ascended.

The current subscription architecture is designed around a hosted bot model where server owners configure their communities through Discord.

The project contains subscription management functionality, including:

• Premium activation

• Premium expiry

• Feature enforcement

• Subscription plan configuration

• Owner-side subscription management

• Premium expiry handling

• Feature upgrade messaging

Important: The current project does not provide a complete automated Stripe payment workflow. The documented model uses external payment processing, with Premium subscriptions currently granted through owner-side administration commands.

Any buyer wishing to operate ObeliskOS commercially will need to configure their own payment processor and automate subscription activation if required.

Project Status

ObeliskOS is unfinished and partially verified.

The project documentation identifies its feature set as verified against the codebase as of May 14, 2026, but that does not mean every feature was fully field-tested on a live production environment.

The systems that received real-world testing during development include:

The buyer should therefore treat ObeliskOS as a development project rather than a guaranteed production-ready product.

Documentation is included, covering architecture, database schema, deployment, features, hosting integrations, setup and subscriptions. Because development stopped during testing, documentation should also be reviewed and verified by the buyer.

Commercial Potential

ObeliskOS was designed with multi-server deployment and Premium feature gating in mind.

The existing architecture provides a starting point for someone who wants to operate an ASA community platform where multiple Discord communities can use the same bot.

A buyer could continue development and potentially turn the project into:

• A hosted ASA community SaaS

• A paid Discord bot service

• A private bot for their own ASA network

• A foundation for a larger ASA community platform

• A custom bot for a server hosting business

The existing codebase provides a substantial head start compared with developing these systems from an empty project.

Who Is This For?

ObeliskOS may be particularly useful for:

• ARK: Survival Ascended server owners

• Multi-server ASA communities

• Discord bot developers

• Python developers

• ASA community developers

• Server hosting businesses

• Developers interested in an ASA-focused SaaS project

The buyer should be comfortable working with Python, Discord bots, MySQL databases and server integrations, or have access to someone who can provide that development expertise.
