For anyone that's interested, Huck provided us the files for the server and we've set up our own cluster:

Cascadia Cluster
Island - 37.10.125.198:37001
Ragnarok - 85.190.157.253:37001
Scorched Earth - 85.190.156.117:27001
Aberration - 85.190.156.237:27001

Come on over!

Fingers crossed! We'll let you know if we find any problems.

Hahah, maybe this is the one where a tribe will actually manage to beat the game :p.

All I would need from you guys is info on anything bug related. Should it be something at fault serverside, we'd wanna patch it up ASAP. Even though wildcard is half assing their love for unofficial servers more and more, it would be nice for Abbs launch to go smoother than SE did.

Good stuff Ghil, thanks for the update!

Let us know if there's anything you need from us and thanks for all your hard work!

Can't wait for the Aberration craziness!

We've updated the About The Admins post in discussions in preparation for the new DLC map. READ IT, muy importante.

I don't know how respectable we are...😜

Yeah it is, and will continue to be :p. Try adding the Ips into the steam server list and you'll find em easy peasy.

IPS are listed above in the group page info.

Go to top of steam, click on the view tab, click on servers, bottom right of the pop-out click click on favorites tab and then add a server, then put the IP and port number listed in the group page in there and you'll see them pop up on your personal server list.

Hey there, just joined today looking for a decent server with respectable people on it. I've tried looking for OneTrueArk on the server list but can't find it, is this still a thing?

Sorry guys, internet issues so servers were down for a bit there. They are back up now!

So if I'm investing time into Onetrue ark server I should be better to avoid SE and The Center ? Alrdy saw that The Center would be removed for aberation which is fine for me. Guess I will hop back on ragnarok. Played that map a bit too much before it was even a DLC :P

SE sadly isn't played very often having been eclipsed in both form and functionality by Ragnarok.

Went the way of the Center, that map did.

From what I can tell atm Rag sees the most traffic, followed by the island, then SE with the occasional player, and in dead last, the Center, that never is played.

Also with the massive fail regarding WC launch , I think you guys should do some publicity you could get a lot of new player looking for a good place to play looking like official

Hi , I saw your server add today when I was at work and I would be interested in the near vanilla experience you guys offer.I'm interested by scorched earth and would like to know how active that map is within the cluster

Yeah, just post up a discussion. See what the interest level is like.

Well generally the idear is to stick to official server balancing as much as possible, and on the official servers I've played before, and to my knowledge up to today, it's disabled there.

The reason why we pulled the trigger with environment structure clipping is because we really couldn't come up with a reason why not. It's a very benign feature and hopefully won't come with any unforseen balance issues. And with ark's building system being so archaic; anything that makes it less awful gets a stamp of approval from me personally.

But yeah generally we always have a vote on something that changes the fundamentals behind the server. I know Huck personally is not a fan of 3rd person and I'm kinda on the fence. If you want you're welcome to make a post about it on the group page pitching for it and if it gets some attention I'd say it's worth considering at the very least and we can prob have a vote.

Yeah, the feature is currently active on the Center. The change will post to the other maps once they are restarted!

Thank you for the heads up!

So just a heads up Austin we'll be restarting the servers sometime between today or tomorrow when there's low pop and with that building-terrain clipping should be working properly.

Thank you again for looking into this, if you would like help testing let me know! This will be a great feature.

Hey Austinlele, I plan on testing this out tomorrow. I thought I enabled it, but I guess it didn't work. I think I might just mess around with the Center map till it works, then push it to the other maps. I will let you know how it goes

Hello Ghilgamesch,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm glad to hear that you and Huck have looked into this. I think many people love using the Structures Plus mod and this setting is a big reason why. So having it on the server will be great. If you need some help testing it out let me know!

Yeah me and huck were talkin' about it the other day, and we really couldn't come up with a reason why not. Sure it's not an official-server feature but it's very benign.

As far as I know he did set the options to enable it, though WC had it poorly documented, and it's possible its not set properly. I'll let huck know and he'll prob give it another one over.

I have a quick question. Can we choose to vote on, or simply implement the new server option to allow building parts to clip through the environment? I would like to be able to have buildings flush with the ground and i am prevented by this.

Great! Thanks.

Intent behind the server and with the current multipliers, is that the server will never wipe. If there is ever a wipe it will be because it was hardcoded into a game update. That is 99% unlikely to happen and even then we'd try to find a workaround.

The question came up last night - are there any plans to wipe the server once the game gets an official release?

Yessir, some ark patches arn't backwards compatible, it's being updated as we speak though.

I cannot connect to the Ragnarok map on the cluster, it may be due to the update 260.00

Yeah, gamerboy is correct. A rare crash happened this morning, which I fixed when I saw that it was down. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Island server is def still up and working, try readding it to your steam. Let me know if you need help finding it.

Yeah, I have noticed that site list the port, but not query port (which is the one listed on the group page and the one that you actually use to connect).

We have taken votes on things in the past. For instance, there was a majority vote for increasing the max level to 150 from 120 for dinos since that effected everyone. I would say, if you have a request, feel free to let us know and at the very least we would think about it!

Not a problem! i think the server ports may also be outdated according to arkservers.net . That site might also be a good link to have in here.

Loving the server so far though! Thank you for hosting this.

Do you admins take requests at all?

Oh WTH,.. nice eye, yeah those rates in the group page arnt correct whatsoever. What they were before official adopted 2X. I'll yell at huck.

Server names seem outdated with the different rates

Workin' on it, unexpected 4 map cluster causing some issues.

Is the Center map coming back online soon?

Best way to connect to the server is to click view on steam, then select servers on the dropdown. Then click on add a server at the bottom right, enter in one of the map IPs at the top of the group page, and join that way. Of all the ways I've connected in the past it's by far the least buggy

Heya i'm having trouble finding the server on the server listings. Is it under pvp/pve? I've tried manually searching using the server name but came up with nothing. Any ideas?

Hey Spader, I added you. I will send you the link once I can connect with you.

Yeah I'll yell at huckle to get you squared away Spader, it's invite only to help prevent trolling, which was a problem in the past.

I was told to ask about the discord server

I'd like to join your discord channel and say hi and see if this is a good fit for my wife and I.

Since the flyer nerf the center map is now a regular clustered map.

No Flyer .. on Center? O.o The one map made especially for flyers?

Either way, giving your cluster a try!

Join this server cluster if you enjoy tribe co-op to complete cave runs and boss fights! Engage in friendly PVP against another tribe one day and work with them to complete a task the next!

Great server supported by friendly/active admins. No issues with server lag and any server related problem is promptly resolved.

Server community is friendly but this is a PVP server. New players are normally left alone until they're built up (or even protected) unless they take first action against another tribe.

Highly recommend this server to both new and experienced players that are looking for a better ARK experience!
