You will find your tribal Dino cap in the center of your inventory screen. (Your total soultrap count will not show in any screens. You will have to keep track via folders and checking your storage inventories)

Schedule of item decay and auto-decay periods.

Auto Decay 0-20 Days	Auto Decay 20-30 Days	Auto Decay over 30 Days
DINO's are CLAIMABLE in 12 Days.	S+ Greenhouse building pieces timeout in 15 days, auto decays in 23	S+ WOOD items (boxes, Storage cabinets, Smithy, Stone forge) timeout in 16 days, auto decays in 35 days.
S+ Thatch building pieces timeout in 4 days, auto decays in 6.	S+ Metal building pieces timeout in 16 days, auto decays in 24.	S+ METAL items (boxes, vaults, Fab, chem bench) timeout in 32 days, auto decays in 48 days.
S+ Adobe building pieces timeout in 8 days, auto decays in 12.	S+ Tek building pieces timeout in 20 days, auto decays in 30.	S+ TEK items (any tek machinery) timeout in 60 days, auto decays in 75 days.
S+ Wood building pieces timeout in 8 days, auto decays in 12.		S+ TEK items not on a built surface, timeout in 75 days
S+ Stone building pieces timeout in 12 days, auto decays in 18.

Our settings are extended to x2 the normal settings. Any tribe that is fully inactive (24 days of no log ins) will be dino/structure wiped by admins. Please advise the admin team of prolonged (over 12 days) absences if you are not abandoning your base.

It is the responsibility of the Player to make sure they refresh all timers on the servers they play on. All structures and tamed dinosaurs auto-decay. This means that if nobody in your tribe logs into the game every few days, your structures and dinosaurs may disappear. You must RENDER the items to actually prevent the decay of the item this can take up to a 15 min. interval in your base moving about Anything that is claimable/demo-able can and will be cleared up by the other residents of the Servers.

Strange Decay & Auto decay timers:

S+ firepits, Sleeping bags, all types of spiked fences, DO NOT AUTO DECAY, they do reach a state of demo ready.	Tamed Dinosaur in a soultrap/cryopod: is as long as the lifetime of the container it's stored in.	Isolated (non-connected) foundations or pillars decay in less than 24 hours.
Vaults and S+ Tek machinery Dedicated Storage will last longer than the foundation they sit on. The decay timer for these will reset whenever it falls.	S+ Dedicated Storage Lasts beyond the 75 days posted.	All other structures will be destroyed when the foundation they sit on is destroyed.

Wipes

Wipes are only done when a save is corrupted or a mod errors and requires a full map wipe. Some instances of a modded map becoming a Free DLC have also created a wipe instance.

Instead of wipes, our admin team relies on an app called ARK Save Viewer, which allows the Ark Admin team to completely refresh a map in roughly four to six hours. All maps are "SWEPT" (our term for the ASV/Admin cleaning) in a rough schedule of every Six weeks.

Other Server Settings

Character Levels

You can level your survivor up to level 105 by default. Clearing the Tek Cave on The Island, defeating Manticore on Scorched Earth, Ragnarok or Valguero, defeating Rockwell at Aberration, beating Master Controller at Genesis, beating Rockwell Prime on Genesis Part 2, and levelling 1 Chibi-Pet gained from events will further increase the maximum level of the Survivor. Each level gives you a skill point to both increase the attributes and a certain amount of Engram Points.

As of current, the maximum level obtainable is level 205 with all the above cleared at Alpha and a Max level Chibi-Pet. Plus finding all runes on Fjordur. Without any of it, the maximum level obtainable is 105.

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.)

• Wyvern, Rock Drake, and VoidWyrm - 5 to 266
• Specific event creatures like GachaClaus - 50 to 900
• All Corrupted Creatures - 1 to 500+ (If spawned from Orbital Supply Drop or Element Node, depending on difficulty.)
• All Tek Creatures - 20% higher level (7 to 253)

• All Titans - 1500 to 2350

• Jerboa, Leedsichthys, and Alpha Leedsichthys - 1 (ignores difficulty setting)

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:

• Tek creatures - As stated above, they can naturally spawn up to 253 with a maximum taming efficiency of +89 levels and up to 88 levels after taming, making their max possible level 430 outside of breeding.

• Reaper Kings - Queens spawn at a maximum level of 210, but their offspring can receive up to 75 additional levels during pregnancy and another 88 once matured, making their max level 372.

• Enforcers and Scouts - Spawn naturally up to level 210 and can receive an additional 88 levels after being assembled, making their max level 298.

• Deinonychus Egg - naturally spawn up to 210 and can receive an additional 88 levels after maturation, making their max level 298 outside of breeding.

• Crystal Wyvern Egg, Wyvern Egg, and Rock Drake Egg- can spawn naturally up to 266 and can receive an additional 88 levels after maturation, making their max level 354.

• Magmasaur Egg - naturally spawn up to 210 and can receive an additional 88 levels after maturation, making their max level 298 outside of breeding.

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.

Tamable creatures introduced in the Genesis DLCs,

R-Creatures and

X-Creatures, and Lost Island's

Dinopithecus are the only exception, they can go over the 1750 up to 1800.

Unique Settings

MINDWIPES

Mindwipes if DONE ON the EVENT MAP do NOT have a Cooldown limit. So, Take a Mindwipe with you to the Event Map use it and then transfer back to your map to craft. When done crafting, Gather a new mindwipe up and transfer back to Event Map and take it there. You will now be able to Play normally again.

FLOATING CEILINGS:

We have a setting turned on where our Ceilings will float with out support in the game. Hence the Many floating bases you see here.

NO PIPELINES TO WATER NEEDED:

We have set S+ to have an endless water supply. Just put your water piping together in your base, no clip an S+ intake to the end piece (NO IT DOES NOT NEED WATER) and you will be fully irrigated. You can also use S+ Beehives to water crops in a 50 Foundation ARC around them. Ladders act as Elevators: Our S+ ladders will teleport you to the top of the section they are attached to.

DROPPED EGGS:

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.

Unique Creatures

These creatures are Unique to any cluster that uses JP"S Server Tweaks. Jp made several that were designed for our use. These creatures can be moved to any other ARK in our Cluster.

Alpha Ankylosaurus - Spawn as 1/20th Ankys	Bionic Quetz - Spawn as 1/10th Quetz	Bionic Giga - Spawn as 1/10th Giga
Bionic Mosa - Spawn as 1/10th Mosa	Bionic Trike - Spawn as 1/20th Trikes	Styracasaurs - Spawn as 1/20th Trikes
Stygimoloch - Spawn as 1/20th Pachy's	Brachiosaurs - Spawn as 1/10th Brontosaurs	Jennari Jerboas - Spawn as 1/10th Jerboas
Royal Otters - Spawn as 1/10th Otters	YuniCorns - Spawn as 1/20th Unicorns	(So Unicorns are 1/20th of Equus... so this makes Yunicorns a very RARE spawn at roughly 1/40th of the population.)
