Current Version# or Build on the Server Control panel (of owners server, not available version to download)

This should have been resolved, it was something the developers implemented called over damage. 
 

You can try to add this option on the Custom Launch Parameters under your control panel.
 
For exemple, my custom line launch is : 
 
/Game/Maps/TheIslandSubMaps/TheIsland?Multihome=YOURIPSERVER?Port=YOURPORT?QueryPort=17416?SessionName=NAMEOFYOURSERVER?MaxPlayers=30?listen?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxxxxx?AllowThirdPersonPlayer=true?ServerCrosshair=true?GlobalVoiceChat=false?NoTributeDownloads=true?AlwaysNotifyPlayerLeft=true?DontAlwaysNotifyPlayerJoined=false?ShowMapPlayerLocation=true?EnablePvPGamma=false
 
Hope this help
 
Dont forget, for exemple if you would like change your password, change it here AND under the option on your control panel.

As Ecka has expressed he's no longer able to keep up with this guide - I've taken owneship of this process and started a thread here: https://www.survivalservers.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1593-server-admin-commands/
 
 
Thanks for getting us started on this Ecka.

There is no decay of structures in PvP Mode.

Use FTP and wipe all data from the ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks folder
 
Be careful, this wipes everything!
 
Make sure your server is Stopped while you perform this action.

Just delete the map from SavedArks in FTP

Hey Survivors!

We wanted to create a place where you can post your ideas and thoughts on ways to enhance the Survival Server's Control Panel in relation to ARK. This is that place! We'll be able to respond back to you if this is possible or if we're limited on your idea because of other dependencies such as the game developers, security, etc...

I'll be updating this thread's ideas in this thread as well as adding polling options to gauge popularity and demand for particular items/functionality.

Neither of these two feature requests are currently possible with ARK.

Hey Rmurd, yes - you need to backup that folder via FTP and then replace that folder on your new server. All server saved data is inside this file, I've done this twice now with no issues or data loss.
 
Just ensure you swap the files out 1:1. Let me know if you need any help on this.

SavedArk backup/restore - coming soon!

Hey Grimm,
 
You cannot currently alter the cycle in which the days/nights rotate. This would be a good request for the ARK Development team. I would highly suggest you publish this idea on Reddit/Steam/Twitter for their viability.

Yep! My issues were resolved as well. Thanks everyone!

Thanks!
