You just need to stipulate it in your command line. If you're using a default one, you're gonna have to set your own up and simply replace the Map ID - "TheIsland" with "TheCenter". :)

How change your server's map to TheCenter

If you landed on this article, you're likley trying to get TheCenter running on your ARK: Survival Evolved server. Let's dive into the steps required in setting it up. It only takes a few seconds!


If you have never ran TheCenter on your server before:
Log into the game control panel.
Go to the main service page for your ARK server. Find the module labelled Commandline Manager.
If you have not already created a custom command line, create a new one.
To the left of the Map field, enable the checkbox.
Change the map name from TheIsland to TheCenter.
Save the custom command line.
On the right hand side of your screen, you will see a button labelled Select. Click this button to select your custom command line.
You're all set!
If you were previously running TheCenter using the workshop mod, follow these steps:

Log into the game control panel.
Go to the main service page for your ARK server.
Stop your ARK server.
Open the File Manager.
Navigate to ShooterGame/Content/Mods
Find a folder labelled 614734500. Delete this folder.
Go back to the main service page for your ARK server. Find the module labelled Commandline Manager.
If you have not already created a custom command line, create a new one.
To the left of the Map field, enable the checkbox.
Change the map name from TheIsland to TheCenter.
Save the custom command line.
On the right hand side of your screen, you will see a button labelled Select. Click this button to select your custom command line.
You're all set!

I've done exactly and I've also got mods and I was able to play on the center before but now whenever i try to connect it loads the mods and just as it is meant to log in to the server it goes the start menu and links you to the center steam page. Help?

I am pretty sure you just need to donwload the DLC, the map is free, but you have to get it from the store. Usually, when you don't have the map saved in your PC, it sends you to the DLC screen. It seems silly, but I believe the map is installed corectly on your server, but not your user. Let me know.

I am running my own server on a dedicated pc. I have tried everything I could find on the web but When anyone tries to join we get a pop-up to download The Center - ARK Expansion Map. I changed the name in Start-ARK-Server.bat and copied the map to the mods folder I don't have a folder called 614734500. We all have the expansion pack already installed and can play The Center Map on any other server and single player. Every time I click to download the game starts. Please help.
