ASA Mod Guide for The PACK

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).

Awesome Teleporters

Place these around the map and Teleport between them (after a short delay) by bringing up the Teleport UI from the radial menu

Only friendly Teleporters or ones that have been set to “Public” via the radial menu will appear in the UI list. The list shows the custom name you gave the Teleporter along with its coordinates. Can be picked up and does not require foundations. Can retrieve items from your corpse. Can find your dinos.

Remote Teleporter - Use this personal device to teleport to any friendly or public Teleporter from anywhere on the map. Creates a Teleport bubble at your current location, after a short delay Teleports conscious players and dinos to the chosen location. You can leave the bubble before it finishes to only Teleport a friend/dino. Functions exactly like the regular Teleporters, but bubble size can not be changed

Awesome Dino Tracker- Use on a dino and you will be able to Teleport that dino to your location from a remote using right click or a Teleporter using the radial menu

Respects the tribe governance settings. If the dino has no personal owner, it can be “claimed” by a tribe member from the radial menu

Transferable Element, Tributes and Trophies

Project ID 1025966

Features

• Allows transfer of most non transferable items

• Easy to use & no config changes needed

• Does not alter the base items or anything else

• Stackable mod, can go anywhere in load order

• Adds an Augmented Tek Transmitter structure: Unlocks by default at level 1; used to craft transferable counterparts of Element, Trophies, and Tributes; has the same abilities as the vanilla Transmitter for transferring servers or initiating boss fights; 2/3 the size of the vanilla Transmitter

Conversion Ratio

• To ensure 100% compatibility with other mods, this mod does not alter the vanilla trophies or element. As a result due to the default item quantity of some of the vanilla items, conversion rates for some items differ. Don’t worry, once you transfer and consume you will have the original amount again.

• 1 Element = 1 Transferable Element

• 100 Element Shard = 1 Transferable Element Shard

• 1 Boss Trophy = 1 Transferable Boss Trophy

• 15 Hunter Trophies = 1 Transferable Hunter Trophy*

• *2 Megalania Toxin = 1 Transferable Megalania Toxin

Gryphons

Gryphons have returned to Ark in this Ascended remake of my original Gryphons mod, remade from the ground up.

Features

• Breeding

• A new crafting station (the Gryphons Workbench)

• Three distinct saddles: basic saddle at level 50, At level 70 either a chitin version or a metal one.

• Pygmy gryphons have a backpack available

• Nests, both mountain and pygmy gryphon sized.

• Mountain Gryphons. The original gryphon we know and love. Found in mountain biomes and Carnivore Island.

• Pygmy Gryphons. Pygmy Gryphons are ferocious cat-sized critters that roam redwoods, jungles and swamps in search of prey. Pygmy Gryphons can carry multiple Artifacts, much like otters can.

Draconis Glaucus

Adds the Glaucus, a custom aquatic dragon based on the blue dragon sea slug. In the wild, they are initially passive, lazily floating upside-down on the water’s surface near to groups of Cnidaria. To tame them, one must acquire an egg - first, feed the Glaucus a total of 10 Cnidaria corpses until it reaches max charge, which will cause it to attack you. Defeat it and it will drop an egg and flee. Glaucus also has an Alpha variant, which while initially passive, is extremely dangerous to fight. Alpha Glaucus will always drop a Glaucus Saddle blueprint, however, with randomized quality. Will not spawn on Scorched Earth.

CONTROLS

Left Click: Bite

Right Click: Breath

Ctrl+Left Click: Electric Bubble Projectile

Ctrl+Crouch: Discharge (Drains Charge meter completely for a powerful AoE attack)

(Controls are shown when riding a Glaucus as well)

More Rideables

This mod allows you to ride a number of tames that could not previously been ridden. These tames do not require saddles. This mod does not include custom dinos or remaps, this is all done through a buff that runtime edits the tames.

New rideable tames: Dodo, Dilophosaur, Troodon, Lystrosaurus, Oviraptor, Titanoboa, Hyaenodon, Kentrosaurus, Trilobite, Piranha, Electrophorus, and Dung Beetle. All dinos will gain a saddle slot in their inventory, and Rideable's Armor can be crafted in the player's inventory to give 25 armor to them. Pairs well with my 'Imbue And Upgrade Station' mod!

Modern Structure Skins

Mod includes 6 different material variations. Among these variants you can find the following:

• Original Plaster Set • Plank Set • Brick Set • Dark Wood Set • Bamboo/Redwood Set • Glass (Greenhouse) Set**Added new parquet set Wall, Floor and Ceiling only

You have the option to look at them, open up radial wheel and change variants on it. Many options to choose from in walls, window frames, pillars and railing. Enjoy!

All respective skins can be found under one item!

Additional Light Source

This mod adds server custom light sources such as candles, lamps and a chandelier. Perfect to decorate your cozy house.

Custom Cosmetics on The PACK Servers

Custom cosmetics are a feature introduced in ARK: Survival Ascended. It allows players to use unofficial, player-created skins for their built structures and character on any server that has the system enabled. These skins can alter the object's appearance and may even sport custom functionality. Some servers (such as the official server network) require cosmetics to be manually approved by their administration before players can see or use them.

The PACK Owners have opted into this system to allow our ASA players the ability to enjoy diversity in building and character customization! Like traditional mods, these cosmetics are distributed through CurseForge.

Currently, these cosmetics also have to be manually installed by the player before they are able to see or use them. You may install them by searching the mod name in the ADD MODS feature of the ASA Client. And then clicking download. You will have to manually update these mods when out of date. (same process as above)

The list of cosmetics allowed on the official network may be browsed on CurseForge in the "Custom Cosmetics" category.

Custom cosmetics listed below have been approved for use on the official server network. This was last updated at July 11, 2024.
