Computer Problems & Possible Mod Changes

Sorry I have not been around much the last few days. I've been having some computer problems and it might take another day or two to get them sorted out. I won't bore you with the details, but I foresee a new hard drive coming.

(the thought of reinstalling everything makes me wanna cry)

Also, as I was reading through the update notes for Structures +, I realized that I might be able to remove a mod from the server. The mod to be removed will be Water Bore.

The mod author has adjusted his mod so that the S+ Intake Pipes do not need to be placed in actual water. I know that the Water Bore mod isn't large, but one less mod to load is not a bad thing.

The S+ mod author has also removed the Land Claimer due to issues with it. If you have one at your base, it will be gone. Sorry.

Extra Ark 2.0 Added Back In

The mod author updated Extra Ark 2.0 late last night. I have re-installed it on the server. All appears to be working well now.

You will need to re-learn all of its associated engrams.

New 'Server Status' Page

I've created a new page called 'Server Status'. This is where I will post information as to why the server might be down.

If you see that the server is not online, please check there for reason and length of time it is expected to be down.

Thank you!

Changes to Server Restarts and Backups

I've made some changes to the times that server restarts and backups are performed.

Restarts are still daily and now take place at 4pm EST. In game message reminders should begin 15 minutes prior to this event.

Server backups will now perform daily at 4am EST, instead of weekly. Like with restarts, in game message reminders should begin 15 minutes prior to this event.

The server shuts down, and restarts, for both of these events. Please log out before they begin to prevent corruptions or rollbacks.

Mod Removed (Extra ARK 2.0)

I apologize if removing this mod messes up anything at your base. Apparently, this mod was/is the cause of the server issues I was having. It was creating corrupt saves, as well as not working properly. I have removed it for now and will re-install it when the author gets it fixed.

I have installed a new mod, however. 'APS: Ark Postal Service'. This looks like it could be a very handy mod in the long run. With this mod we will be able to send each other in-game mail.

Thank you for your patience during all of this.

Server is back up...

I was finally able to get the server up and running again. Had to roll it back to around midnight. Sorry for any inconvenience.

EDIT:

The server ended up rolling back further than what I had chosen. If you need help rebuilding buildings, taming dinos or gathering resources that might have vanished, please let me know. I'll get you taken care of.

Server Temporarily Offline

As the title states, my server is offline temporarily.

I shut the server this morning to perform an update to a mod and have been unable to start the server back up.

I've sent a 'Support Ticket' in to the hosting company letting them know of the issue. Hopefully it can be resolved soon.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Discord Access Available

If you have Discord, feel free to join in on my channel. I have provided an invite link towards the bottom of the 'Server Info and Rules' page, and to the top right of the 'Home' page.

If you do not have Discord, you can get it at https://discordapp.com/  or https://discordapp.com/download .

A Few Mod Changes

I've made a few changes to the mods on the server. I've added the following:

  • Castles, Keeps & Forts Medieval Architecture
  • Aviary Structures by MythN7

I've removed the following due to it being outdated:

  • Kibble Chart
You can find what appears to be an updated list of all kibbles, and which dinosaurs like them, at the following link:
The 'Kibble Table' mod I have installed is relatively up to date. The above link does provide the recipes for cooking kibble in a cook-pot, however, should you need it.

I've also created a 'collection' within Steam for easy, one step download/installation of all the mods currently installed on my server. Just go to:
