Third Party Apps for ARK

EPIC Launcher:

Due to EPIC Launcher restrictions of NO mods. We do not provide crossover play between PC and Epic launcher. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If at a future date Epic provides mod support, we will reconsider our options.

GeForce NOW Launcher:

If you are launching the game directly from the GeForce NOW application (clicking on the game image), then the game will boot up before the mods will have a chance to download. Please open those specific games in the 'Manage Steam' mode. To do this, open the GeForce NOW application and click on your username in the upper right hand corner. From there you will see a drop down menu, and select 'Manage Steam.'

Once you have started a session and have an instance of Steam launched, make sure you install the mod(s) you want to play. Once installed, the mods should start downloading.

Do note that you will need to GO to 'Manage Steam' each and every time you want to launch a game with Steam Workshop mods.

Dodo DEX and OUR settings.

Dododex multipliers are set for OFFICIAL maps only. Our unique settings for our server will not register properly in the app. For this reason we advise in using it as a ROUGH guide only. Not as absolute fact of what it will take to tame something. We also have unique items here from a Mod that negates most of the issues in taming. Jp's Narcotics. and the manufacture of Extraordinary kibble is very easy. The Narcotics can knock out most things with 10 arrows or less. The darts even faster. Extraordinary kibble is easy to make with the ECO RP cooker and most maps have an open Indy cooker in the workshop. Just BYOB your foodstuffs.

Random Questions?

Community Builds and what they do?

Community Centers: Are a admin built, complete Shop so that you can get things done that you do not have access to in your base yet. Forges, Fabs, and Replicators are available. There is always an open Teleporter, and open Transmitter at each CC. Usually there is free gear, free dinos in cryo, and some free resources to be had. We ask that you remember that you got a helping hand, and PAY it FORWARD! By donating to the CC when your in a position to do so!

Refineries: Are a platform near a especially rich source of Metal, Obsidian or crystal, and or Oil, they have fabs and forges, Open Transmitters, and teleport pads.

Event Bases: These are large platforms set up near a section where we do a event over and over. Island , Ragnarok, and Gen-1 have notable ones. You will find an open teleport /transmitter on these and sometimes a Refinery.

Admin's Bases: Most of our Admin's that have a base separate from THE PACK BASES on maps will have an open area you can teleport from and open transmitters. THE PACK ADMIN BASES: will have sections you can use as a shop, and Open Teleport pads and teleporters.

The Pack Teleport Web: Each map has a web of open teleport pads scattered over the map. They are unlocked so you can recover dinos or death-caches in the case of death. You will find an Admin owned teleport at the beginning of an artifact cave or Dungeon. And in Resource rich areas. Sometimes just a feature of the map that is popular. We try to keep one at the easiest spawn point on the map too.

We ask you the player to keep in mind these are owned by The Pack and if you come across one that is demo ready or an oil well or water well that is demo ready, you take a SS or a "ccc" of it and drop in #admin-support in our Discord.
