Just add "-automanagedmods" to your launch commandline and it will do so before the server launches (note for Maps this will not work unless you're specifying the Workshop ID to load a Mod Map). On Linux Servers, you need to run this script (included with the ARK dedicated server files) once to install SteamCMD: \SteamCMDInstall.sh

You can also specify a manual list of extra Steam Workshop Mods/Maps/TC ID's to download/install/update in your Game.ini via (with the commandline as normal to actually use them in-game), example:

[ModInstaller]
ModIDS=722585441

Fatal error!

Did you create a custom tribe flag? If so try deleting it. Also, did you choose a language other than English for the game (in Steam)?

[Alvares]

This error appears when you load the game

This guy had the same (or similar) error and fixed it by selecting English as the language:
