Hosted Server Map is old or corrupted
I hope this helps anyone having the problem I had when setting this up initially on a hosted server.

Hosted Server Problem (I’m on Logic Servers)
Shigoislands initial map setup gives a corrupted/old map, especially noticed over desert area where you cannot land and dinos float in air. Updating mods does not solve the problem.

The solution that worked for me is as follows: (please note I assume you know how to use and set up filezilla and know how to navigate to find your files)

Check problem does not occur on single player map.

Save/Backup server at host
Stop server at host
Connect to server via filezilla
On right hand windows open your server folder/content/mods
Delete folder 661564024
Delete 661564024.mod

(I did not delete the mod using server commands, tried it first but did not work)

On left hand set of windows navigate to the drive and steamapps folder you have saved ARK in, on mine it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\common\Ark\ShooterGame\Content\Mods
Drag across folder 661564024 and upload
Drag across 661564024.mod and upload
Once upload finished (be patient may take some time)
Disconnect filezilla
restart server

Mod should now be up to date and update through server commands as normal.

Will be worthwhile running kill all wild dinos command to refresh wild dinos.

Hope this helps, this is not an issue with map/mod but how some hosted servers get the original map content or how it is supplied to them. Thankfully for me single player map/mod was OK and was up to date.

Once again many thanks to Exilog for the hard work bringing us this map
