Looking for 2 to 4 people to play on ASA PVE Modded Crossplay (PS5/PC) Cluster.

[Twin Screw Gamer]

A little back story:
I created an unofficial private server to play with my best friend. Said friend barely ever logs in to play. I’m looking to invite 2 to 4 nontoxic / chill people to my private modded crossplay PVE server to populate and make the world feel a little more alive. I am new to server management and Discord. I house the server at my personal residence in the USA Eastern Standard Time. There WILL BE issues. I will screw things up from time to time or my internet may go down. I ask for your patience and in return you can have access to a free PVE crossplay modded server that is currently running the following maps:
1. The Island – Day 1125
2. Scorched Earth – Day 552
3. The Center – Day 104
4. Aberration – Day 1455
5. Extinction – Day 106
I am open to other map suggestions including premium maps if people are interested.

Current Mods Being used, feel free to go to the Curseforge official website to get more details on the mods listed below.

Curseforge Website: https://www.curseforge.com/ark-survival-ascended

927090 – Winter Wonderland: Official Wildcard Event mod. This will change as the official events change.

930601 – Dino Retrieval Terminal: Used mostly to get tamed dinos unstuck from the mesh or if you die in a cave and want to get your dino back before it dies.

928650 – Potions: Gaia Studios: Adds various mods that give the player the ability to cheese the hell out of the game. Use it however you like. I just ask that you do not use the dino spawn potions as this has caused server issues in the past. All other potions are fine to use.

928793 – Pelayori’s Cryo Storage: Used in place of the official cryo pod system in the game. You can use these or the official cryo’s in the game.

929420 – Super Spyglass: Better version of the in-game spyglass.

929578 – AP Death Recovery: A craftable gravestone that you can use to recover your stuff in the unfortunate event that you die somewhere on the ark. I believe this gravestone can be used by PS5 players. There is another gravestone mod for Steam PC users.

930404 – Death Recovery Mod: A craftable gravestone that you can use to recover your stuff in the unfortunate event that you die somewhere on the ark. If this can’t be used or placed in the world, try the other recovery gravestone.

930684 – Dino Mindwipe: Allows you to respect your dino stats unlimited amounts of times.

932221 – Clear Screen: Gets rid of the border of certain head armors like the gas mask and scuba mask.

934782 – Ichthyornis No More: Removes the Ichthyornis’s ability to steal your stuff. It will still attack you but won’t take anything. There is an engram to unlock and an item to craft in order to have immunity from the damn bird.

935408 – Der Dino Finder: Adds a menu to the map that allows you to find specific dinos and allows you to track them on the map. Saves time from flying around aimlessly looking for a particular dino.

939228 – QOL+: Adds variants of in game structures with added abilities like snapping and the fridge allows you to store items like Organic Polymer to extend spoiling times.

939874 – Nanoh’s Reusables: Adds reusable tools to the game like the grapple hook, tent, spear etc…

942008 – Dino Painter: Adds the ability to customize the paint job of your favorite dinos.

955623 – Mining Drill: Allows you to gain enormous amounts of resources in a very little amount of time. Time saving mod. Makes building amazing bases a breeze. Buildings on a massive scale on this server is highly encouraged.

979379 – Just Wants To Cuddle: Effectively turns every imprint encounter into a cuddle session. No walks or foods required.

983782 – Dear Jane: Official Wildcard mod that adds explorer notes to the game.

1019389 – Net Pro: Adds a net projectile to the game making taming a whole lot easier… Managarmrs never stood a chance…

1073132 – Tek War Map: Adds a craftable map to the game that allows you to see where tribe members, obelisks, and beds are located.

1104565 – Better Zeppelin: Changes the vanilla Zeppelin. Please see the Curseforge website for more details.

1106965 – Rocket Cannon Balls: Adds a canon ball that can be launched from the grenade launcher. This makes taming Titanosaurs and Rock Elementals a whole lot easier.

928708 – Custom Dino Levels: This basically makes dinos spawn at higher levels more often.

1131956 – Desmodus Port: Adds the Desmodus from ASE Fjordur to ASA. Currently spawns on The Island.

1126972 – Additional Seeds: Adds the ability to grow Obsidian, Organic Polymer and Black Pearls from the comfort of your base just to name a few. This mods adds a ton of features. Please see curseforge.com for more info.

1124586 – Andrewsarchus Port: Adds the Andrewsarchus from ASE Fjordur to ASA. Currently spawns on The Island.

1000576 – Red Ascended: Not sure if this works on PS5 but on Steam PC it makes the Ascendant gear icons a bright red color so its easier to see.

1009399 – Artifacts Generate Element: Get an artifact from a cave, put it on a pedestal and wait. It will produce element in the pedestals inventory over time. Time saving alternative to repeated boss fights to get element.

1086824 – Fjordhawk Port: Adds the Fjordhawk from ASE Fjordur to ASA. Currently spawns on The Island.

Mods may be removed, changed or added in the future. Mods have a tendency to cause issues. By downloading the required mods to get onto the server you agree to potentially losing items and progression. It’s something we all accept when we use mods.
I will consider adding mods that people suggest.

Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini files are heavily modified to benefit the players, please see the Discord for more information after you get the link from me.

Taming, Breeding and Harvesting are very fast and efficient: The server is setup for people who only have a few hours a day/week to play and still have nice things.

Item Stacks have been modified.

Flyers are allowed on Aberration.

Loot Drops have been modified on The Island. I plan to do the other maps when I have time.

Structures do not take damage: This server does not punish building in the wastelands of Extinction for example. Have at it!

Death is not punished on this server: There are a variety of ways to get your stuff/dinos back in the event of death. Dinos can only be returned by me as long as you are using the Pelayori’s Dino Storage mod. I am the only server admin.

85% of the crafting requirements have been modified: Crafting mass quantities of items is a lot easier and faster. For example, most Tek Tier items do not require Element or Black Pearls to make.

Server Maintenance: From time to time there will be updates. I will need to shutdown the server in order to do updates or add/remove mods/maps.

Server Backups: Backups are done on a nightly basis around 11PM EST. The server will be shutdown and then restarted after the backup has been completed. Usually takes 15-20 mins.

PC Specs the server is housed on:
1. Intel i7-14700K
2. MSI RTX 4070Ti Super 12GB of RAM
3. 64GB Corsair RAM
4. 4TB of storage (Samsung 990PRO NVME’s)
5. Windows 11 Professional
This is a brand-new PC I built in Nov of 2024.

If you are interested in playing on this server, send me an email at [e-mail] and let me know.
