finding what mods are on current private server.

[Dark]

about to get my own ark server but would like to keep all the mods from the last one a friend owns (dude's never around so he doesnt update, we cant get on to his server with all our crap on it) is there a way to find folder wise what mods have been installed, so i can reinstall them on my own?

You can go to the workshop and check all mods that you're subscribed to.

If you also played on other servers it's possible that your subscribed to more mods than just those that were on your friends server.

i didnt DL anything, they get loaded onto my game every time i join the server; they had to run through a first time install back when i first joined so i know they have to be on my pc somewhere, i'm just not good at finding barried files

go to your steam folder on your PC then its

steamapps -> common -> ARK -> ShooterGame -> Content -> Mods

you can find out what each mod is by searching the ID number in the workshop or if go in workshop can go on right side of screen and check your subscribed mods its in the drop down menu under your files if you unsubscribe from them all can rejoin server then check them again ones you get subscribed to are the ones on the server

If they installed themselves, then if you go to the host/local menu on the title screen, you can see the mods there and enable/disable them accordingly.

sweet, going through the host/local option worked, i know which have been installed on my pc. there any way to find out which one needs to be first? read a bunch of mods need to take priority but dont know if any of the ones downloaded need to, other than searching each one separately

Mhm, the mods say that for compatibility reasons, I've never had any issues with some mods being lower or higher priority.

To make them higher or lower priority you just remove and add them to the active tab as needed.
