What TCAdmin handles for ARK: Survival Evolved

  • Automatic Steam updates

    Server files install and update through SteamCMD, on demand or on a schedule (app 376030).

  • Live player counts

    The panel queries the server for players, map and status, shown on the dashboard and service page.

  • Web console with RCON

    Send commands from the browser and schedule them, without opening a game client.

Config notes

ARK: Survival Evolved

Features

  • Steam Workshop installer/updater/uninstaller (using these scripts)
  • Shut down properly using custom script with rcon commands
  • Easy configuration of each service using variables and configuration editor
  • Predefined command line for each official map up to Crystal Isles
  • Support for custom maps
  • Support for clustering
  • Wipe server (wipe everything in ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks)
  • Reset cluster
  • Restore backups

How do I setup a cluster?

You must have at least 2 servers to configure a cluster.

  • Go to each server's command line
  • Create a new custom command line
  • Set 'Cluster ID'
  • When you set Cluster ID, the Cluster Path will automatically get set. On Windows, it's set to X:\Users\TCA3Game_Usr. On Linux, it's set to /home/tca3game_usr.

Instructions

Do not change the "Run As" user. This config depends heavily on the "Run As Unique operating system user for each service" setting.
