A way to see installed mods on a server
I would love to have a way to see what mods and how many mods are installed on a server before joining them. I.e in the serverbrowser, one could mouse over the mapname, ping or anything, and it could be in a popup how many mods and what mods there is... As of now, I can only see what map the server is running, and then when trying to join, I noticed 30 different mods that have to be downloaded!

I can't see how hard it would be to add this to the existing serverbrowser, as there is in fact alot of other games that does this and it works well ... take Space Engineers as a good example.

Please, please give us a way to see what and how many mods there is BEFORE joining the server...

I have a steam group for my server if I was runningmods I would list them there or link the modpack. Maybe check if your server has a steam group if not have an admin make one :)

Battlemetrics will tell you which mods, either by name or ID.
Link to my server for showcase: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/ark/450660

A lot of servers have steamgroups for clarification of mods.
For example, some of the mods we have are strictly used for events

Battlemetrics only shows 4 mods. No matter how many mods a server has. But it is a good start. Gametracker can show mod lists by their id number but it can't find all the servers even if you know the name of it.

one of the reasons i dont play online. you try to join any server and it queues up 1923910238 mods no one wants and you load all that ♥♥♥♥ and then it says cant connect to server.. its really annoying youg et all the ♥♥♥♥ downloaded and then are stuck with not gettin on the server

so when?

forget it dudes. the dev doesnt give a ♥♥♥♥ about unofficial. if you dont play official, you are a betrayer to the mods. not our fault if they balance the game for pvp only and it then sucks so we need mods. and again, on unofficial i have 13 ping. on official you never play under 50 ping. ♥♥♥♥ you devs !!

This feature needs to be added and the lack of it should always be considered a bug.
