Other Server Settings
Character Levels
In ARK: Survival Ascended as of January 2025, the maximum player level is 195: survivors start at level 1, 104 levels can be gained normally, 60 gained by defeating all the end-game Ascension bosses currently in the game, 10 gained from collecting all Explorer Notes on all available canon maps, 5 by levelling up a Chibi, 15 for collecting all of the Bob's Tall Tales explorer notes on Scorched Earth, Aberration, and Extinction.
Blueprint Max Capable:
MaxBlueprintItemQuality = 300 // For all items/blueprints.
MaxBlueprintDinoLevel = 400 // Only for Meks and Enforcers when spawned.
MaxBlueprintDinoQuality = 400 // Only for Mek/Enforcer blueprints and Enforcer spawner items
MaxBlueprintScoutQuality = 2000 // For Scout weapon and blueprint.
Creature Levels:
Dinos/Creatures spawn with a level of 5 to 210 in our arks. The following dino/creatures are an exception: (Other levels apply like every other dino based on difficulty setting however.)
The max dino level (without breeding) after taming and leveling is 372 on our servers. (i.e. 210 wild level + 74 level taming bonus + 88 domesticated level ups). There are a few exceptions to this rule:
Breeding Level Caps: On our servers, Creatures have NO hard-capped limit on breeding. Levels of 1750 to 1800 is possible (maxing all stats at 254 x 7 +1 =Maxed out dino of 1750) .
PLEASE NOTE: Once you have reached a Dino with 255 in each stat value. You realistically cannot add any more domestication level points into that specific stat. If done, the stat will revert to a LEVEL ONE DINO value in that stat. And you will lose all the value of months of breeding.
Dropped Eggs do not interfere with any egg laying mechanics of the wild creatures! When the egg enters your or your dino's inventory the blueprint path changes from wild egg code to a new one which includes the name of the entity that dropped it, and when dropped it no longer creates an impediment for the wild dinos to spawn eggs.
The PACK CrossARK Transfers
There are limitations as to how items, creatures and survivors can be transferred through the normal mechanism:
They can only be transferred within the same server cluster. 30 stacks in the Data tab, 20 Dinos in the Dino tab and only 250 in your inventory if you transfer (INCLUDING your Custom Cosmetics).
Not everything can be transferred to other servers either. Aside from server setting, the following cannot be transferred: Specimen Implant; Boss Heads; Element {Any type}(See Transfer Workaround); Gacha Crystal; Event items;
Bee hive; Filled Fish Basket; Apex drops.
Transfer Workaround - place the items inside a dino then use the SCS pod to cryo the dino. You may now transfer with the item in the inventory of the dino while in your inventory.
Aberration Rules:
No Foreign Dinos allowed transfer into Aberration. Flying creatures of all kinds and gliders from other maps cannot be un-podded. Large Carnivores are not allowed to transfer. Modded dinos are not allowed on Aberration. Except for any mod specifically meant for Aberration.
Only the creatures listed below, and all their variants, can be downloaded on Aberration
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/CrossARK_Transfers#Aberration
SUBSCRIBED MODS
There are two ways to get the mod for the servers.
Just load into ASA, go to the server browser, find The Pack servers, Click Join on the one you want, it opens a menu with a list of all the mods, Click Join and it will then install all the mods before loading into the server. If it times out, repeat the process. After all the mods are installed you can just join.
Add one by one from the Quick List below, (this is a bit tedious by the way).

B+ Tips and Tricks:
For Dedicated Storage, If you are using them, put your materials down in another box, take 1 of each, and organize it the way you want. When done with said set up, hold e, click consolidate, and it will pull all your materials to the boxes.
SCS Automated Farming:
Fertilizer SCS terminal Use SCS terminal with 3-5 podded beetles. The easiest way to obtain large amounts of medium animal feces is taming 3-5 Phiomia, pod them up and put in a terminal. A good ratio is 1 Beetle to 1 Phiomia. Set the terminal to collect poop. It will then make fertilizer and put it in the plots in its range. Use the B+ Omni tool to move the fertilizer into crop plots out of the terminal range. You can also upload the fertilizer to a B+ Dedicated Storage.
Resource Gacha SCS Terminal No more tall towers of gacha and snow owls! Gachas can generate resources in the terminal!! NOTE: ONE Gacha Farm Terminal per Main base limited to 50 gacha! Turn on resource gathering in terminal. Don't turn on poop or there won't be room for the resources. Set each gacha to the specific resource before podding and placing in the terminal. Or set the terminal selector for each gacha. Use the B+ Omni tool to move crystals to the crackers, then wirelessly send items to storage units within 80 foundations.) NO CROP plots needed, NO PELLETS needed. Terminals will fill up, and after 300 Full slots and gachas will no longer produce resources.
*These settings are on each Gacha in the terminal.
You can add the following tames for the additional allowed resources they produce, either gender. Depending on specific dino placed within the terminal. Upload to dedicated storage is enabled. Dinos shown will generate Cement paste, golden eggs, honey, bison milk, cerato spines, bio toxin, algae, and feathers.
Kibble Farm
Place 2-3 females of each kibble dino or 5 Maeguna along with a oviraptor to boost egg production. Turn on unfertilized egg gathering in terminal. Don't turn on poop or there won't be room for the eggs.
You will have eggs for kibble / extraordinary kibble in a few days. (Maeguna make the eggs for extraordinary kibbles!) You can move eggs to the Refrigerator or into Dedi storage with the B+ Omni tool.
*Image is from ASE, but you can use whichever dinos currently exist in ASA for eggs.

Custom Cosmetics to Enhance your ASA Experience.
The new "Custom Cosmetic" system allows players to dynamically apply player-generated costumes to players and dinos, end-user-created skins to armors and weapons, and end-user-created skins to all the game's structures. In most cases your client will automatically download them in the background when encountered during gameplay. NOT the full mod but an OVER view so you may see them in your subscribed mods in the Client Mod Panel.
The PACK has curated a Free list that is available to download that is approved for use ("Whitelisted") on our Servers. We have disabled Dynamic download to just the official mods, and our curated list. Due to the many issues around the COSMETIC system.
Approved for use on The Pack cluster.
Default Structure Skins
A custom cosmetic mod that applies vanilla structure skins to many structures.
Arkitect's Paradise
A custom cosmetic mod that will try to make your old prehistoric world a bit more modern. All building skins are perfectly seamless which means your base will look like one structure. Approved for official.
Western Decor Skins
Now you can decorate your Ark with western-style items, all available as skins for your existing structures.
