I play Ark Survival Ascended, PC, single player.
I have four mods installed (in case this matters):
I was running the swamp cave. I got lost. My gas mask broke. I died. I had a mount inside the cave, it stayed there.
I tried running into the cave, but it nearly killed me without the mask.
I realised I needed to regroup back to base, and come back with new mask and an arsenal of gear.
It was late. I was tired. I saved and exited. This morning I logged back in, flew to base, ran to my standing stone to collect my gear from my corpse, but it didn't activate. At least, it didn't retrieve my gear. (It used to work, but it has been a long time, lots of updates. Who knows if it still works at all!)
I made three masks, grabbed some gear, a baryonyx in cryo, a recovery stone, all kinds of stuff, flew back.
I loaded up, went inside, dropped the baryonyx, and ran through the maze. (I still can't work out where I am on the "map")
I followed corpse beacon until it said 53m. My argy, golden turkey, was a similar distance. I ran around, but it got further. It's in the mesh.
I used the command 'ghost'. I sank into the floor. I approached my corpse. I was 2m from it, could access it. I could see my gear on it. And then when I clicked transfer all, I was teleported into the sky, and my gear stayed on my corpse.
I went back down, and couldn't get close before it teleported me out.
If I 'walk' again, I can 'ghost' again and repeat this process ad nauseum.
Is there a way to move my corpse or my argy to a better location, preferably out of the mesh?
i play on a chill pve cluster with 10x i am doing big building and breeding project and i would love for someone to join me on it. mic would be nice

Is there a cluster for ASA that's small tribes, trying to find one for me and my buddies?
Ive played and watched ark for a long time but i still dont know. Is there a way i can do “split all” on a stack of stuff (for example meat)? I know its possible for pc but is it possible for ps4 (ase)
I usually use wiki.gg, and I’m wondering if there’s still anything useful on the fandom site. I’ve also seen people referring to dododex, is it better? Worse? What’s the difference between them? I’m playing evolved if that matters
Does anybody have some settings that make Annunaki Genesis balanced? I just tamed a Parasaur and put a single level into health and it's health went from 5k to 10k on a single level. Does anybody have the settings to make this balanced and to make the mod actually challenging, because I can already kill a ton of dinos on only my Parasaur and it seems a bit unfair.
Sometimes, while sacrificing my moschops, I accidentally get picked up and I have tohit the desmodus to get down because I don't want to tame it with low effectiveness. The problem is this brings the effectiveness back down to 50%. Is there any other way to get down without resetting it?
Hey all, so I didn’t realize I could not grapple if I died/fell in the lava cave/jump puzzle cave on the center, and I died with a lot on me. My body is pretty close to the surface of the lava, but it doesn’t let me use a grapple to get it in here. I tried looking it up but couldn’t find any info on this. If anyone has anything of use for my situation please let me know, it would be really greatly appreciated.
When I put mods and try to play the game freezes and don't let me play, pls help me, thank you (sorry for my bad english)
My friend and I have a server on PC for ASE, and on the tek level I am able to craft an Egg Incubator. But whenever I try to google more information about it, all I can find is the SS version. I even checked the spawn codes from the S+ mod page, and it confirms there is an egg incubator. Can someone tell me I am not crazy, and tell me what the point of the egg incubator is, when you also have an egg hatchery? Thank you very very much. It is 4:30 am my time and I am deep in this rabbit hole trying to figure out why I can't find any other S+ documentation on it.
I recently created my own dedicated cluster but I am unable to get mods to work, this is my code with some of the important data blocked off
start "" "C:xxxxxxxxx\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe" "TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=Ronnies_N_V_ti?Port=xxxxx?QueryPort=xxxxx?RCONPort=xxxxxx?ServerPassword=xxxxxx?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxx?ClusterId=xxxxxxxxx?ClusterDirOverride=xxxxxx\clusterdata?CrossArkChat=True?GameModIds=83374,931903,929785,936660,928988,928708,947733,939228,930442,939055,982004,1075102,1016938,928501,936882,976957,931250,928793,951148,1086031?AllowRaidDinoFeeding=True?MaxPlayers=20" -NoBattlEye -server -log -EasterColors -ForceAllowCaveFlyers=True
I've checked and double checked that I have all of the mod files copied into the appropriate location in the ark server directory C:xxxxxxxxxx\A\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame\Mods\83374, but no matter what I cannot get the mods to load.
Is there a way to enable DLSS FG after the devs disabled it? The game is utterly unplayable without DLSS and FG without disabling every single setting that might affect FPS in ASA
2 days now and 3 premium mods showing I dont own them and only way to download/use is to buy them again..
Yesterday I bought another 4.99$.
Today while messing with DNS settings and stuff. I can't use the one I bought yesterday!!!!
Curseforge support ticket isn't being responded to. I dk what to do... should I request refunds for them alll??????
I rebuilt an old pc about a year ago and I recently decided to create a vanilla cluster with all four maps on ASA with basic settings which in my opinion is the hardest part. Since I have no “coding” it took me about a week of trouble shooting and fixing idiotic mistakes but in the end I got it done and all I have left to do is add mods and tweak the settings. Use this post to ask question and help each other set up their own dedicated servers. Also, can anyone point me in the direction of the settings for a 25x server?
Me and my friends started calling it that as a joke but I genuinely think that ark might be the greatest video game ever created
I once seen a video, but I cannot find it. But the person was saying that there's a certain time where the Sub Reaper Kings don't emerge.
My son has survival evolved on Xbox. He wants me to get it so I can play with him.
It looks like he is playing on a modded server based on text I see on the screen like "Level up available! access inventory to apply it" and then text above other players like "Host: Sabertooth999 Lvl 83"
Is this correct, is it modded?
I googled around and seems like Maybe the version on Epic & Steam can't crossplay? or only on official servers?
And I would need the Windows store version?
Thanks in advance
When trying to join any server, it always gets stuck at 0%, does anyone have a fix to it?
Yesterday my game settings randomly got reseted and now my game keeps crashing after like 5-10 min. If I had to guess, it might be related to the new graphic settings I have now.
Here is the message it popped out last time it happened. Any help?
I mean like the christmas and thanksgiving events. I’m still playing ASE because I can’t stand the performance on ASA and love fjordur too much
all this from one red drop on scor earth damn
Is anyone still having the single player save problem on ps5
I've tamed two Reaper Kings by now, and on both, my "impregnation buff" showed I would get +75 levels after killing a lot of stuff, but after they are born, I got less than that. One was initially 105, and was born an 161, I don't remember the other, but it was 75 and ended up around 120. I'm certain I killed enough creatures up until my EXP was capped on both times, but math is not mathing. Has anyone run into this issue?
I setup a dedicated server on my spare laptop the other day. Followed the Ark Unity guide on their website.
I got it to work, but now today I cannot see the server on Ark's server list. The only thing I didn't do was open my ports on my router. Went to do so, and found out that Spectrum doesn't allow anyone to open ports on their leased routers. They only allow it on specific devices, so I opened those ports on my laptop running the server.
I understand this could be the problem, but how was it possible I and others were able to join 2 days ago? Obviously the ports were fine?
