Using desktop automation software like AutoHotkey or Voice Attack[voiceattack.com] can help controller users reduce reliance on the keyboard and help all users complete certain tasks more quickly than using the keyboard alone.

However, these desktop automation type software utilities rely on user interface components like dialog boxes to be in predictable places to work. Because Ark’s “Split” command cannot be accessed using set keyboard sequences (e.g. right arrow, down arrow, down arrow, enter) and because the dialog box for Ark’s Split command cannot be relied upon to be in a specific or predictable position on the screen, this mod was cleverly developed by the amazing Benz0minera for those who use controllers in combination with automation software to play Ark.


Here’s an example script for Voice Attack[voiceattack.com] that assumes the resolution of the game is 1920x1080 and that the interface scale in the game is set to exactly halfway on the slider under Options.
Using this script, the user would hover above the desired stack of items and would say, “split 250”. The script would move the mouse to this mod’s dialog box, clear the field, enter the desired number - 250 in this case - and then press the “Split” button.
