Enable Mods for Non-Dedicated servers?

[Meep Murp]

Are there any options or ways for me to activate mods for the non-dedicated servers? I feel like I might be blind. I notice that W/MODS is set to No in the join server tab.

I think we wanna download mod from mod list. Go to your non dedicated/singelplayer section. Mod Settings>available mods then activate mod at bottom.

I've turned them all on, but when I host the non-dedicated server, the items mod just disappears or doesn't show for other people

My friends and I currently have the same problem. All of us have installed, enabled and activated the same mods. When we load into the non-dedicated game only the host is able to see and craft the modded items. The rest of us can't craft them nor can we see the items when the host puts them in a chest. Any help would be appreciated!

Same issue. Anyone find a fix? Or we just hope for a patch? Only the host can access the mods.

Unfortunately still no fix. We checked game files as well (GameUserSetting ini) to make sure our active mods match, which they do. Still only the host seems to be able to access mods in game.
It's really starting to seem like they are softly nudging people to get Nitrado as a fix for all the problems. Since mods do seem to work in dedicated servers, Tether distance isn't a thing in dedicated servers (A setting that can not be changed no matter what you do in non-dedicated). And password locking your server is also possible in dedicated..

Yeah same here it sucks will just have to wait and see

We're having the same issue here. Fingers crossed this is just an oversight that will be fixed in the next patch.

Softly Nudging? Seems like they aren't even giving us a choice at this point...

Ya'll know mods for ASE did not come out within the first few months of launch too right?

So what has this got to do with Survival Ascended? It came out with mod support, so it would be nice if it would work, even in non dedicated hosting.

Honestly I don't think even the new dinos work because they are technically mods at least i don't think they do we haven't seen a single one

And you know that 1) This is Ark Survival Ascended, not Evolved. 2) This game actually did have mods out since day one, so your argument is invalid. and lastly 3) They advertised the game as having a first ever cross platform mod support AND they had been working together with modders to bring some mods to the game from launch.
Facts are: They promised mod support. They mentioned mods since launch. Yet those mods that they already worked on before the game was even released still don't bloody work in non-dedicated games.
Try better next time ;)

I'm not sure about the Featured new Dino's. However my friends and I did spot a wild Maewing today! So they do spawn! You might have to "DestroyWildDinos" command to force new spawns though.
(I said my friends and I but technically it was our host that saw it because you know.. No mods for non-dedicated players. We could attack it though and did see an invisible dino bleed! XD)

omg lol that last part tho i feel that

well i can confirm the no fall damage works on non dedicated, i host and 2 of my friends play. we all have the no fall damage for us and our critters. and that mod is top in the load order, i have changed the load order and put it on the bottom and tried other mods at the top spot. but that doesn't seem to work either. good thing about the low tether distance is when we go on a taming run, i am right there with the tame potion. so i guess just use work around's. till they fix things. i know it's annoying but if you want to play you'll figure your own way out for the time being.
