Server owners, the big news for all of us the past week of course has been Epic's free offering of Conan. In case you hadn't seen yet, they announced at only 9:18am (CST) that they had decided to pull the title from their offering. I'm sure like myself, at least a few of you have also wiped servers in prep for the free offering, as with even the Steam free weekends, we tend to get large influxes of players, and those downloads are rendered invalid after those weekends are over. So, with the game being potentially free for life for those that picked it up on Epic, I know I for one was scrambling to just get a wipe done, and get everyone hyped up, get extra moderators and admins ready, etc, etc. So, how has Epic pulling their offering affected any of you?

Server has been in Unknown status for well over an hour now. Server ID: 40081 Ticket # 957611

Be sure to check the last update date of the game, and cross check it with the last update date for the mod. More than likely, as Overlord mentioned, it's simply an "out of date" issue. If you have further issues with getting your server running, put in a support ticket and someone will help get things sorted for you.

The ARK version number is updated in the control panel manually by staff after an update. However, the updates are always done automatically by the system. So updating your server should always work (barring unforeseen circumstances.) However, the version number may not always display correctly immediately after a patch. So after a patch, just run the updater and trust that it will always (most of the time) work just fine. If it doesn't, you can submit a support ticket here for further assistance.

This can be found pretty frequently in games, they do line up though. That is to say that when the programming for the "smithy" looks for it's engram, it'll see "anvilbench", Typically it just happens when they're not quite sure what verbage they want to use in the end, like if they want to call it a "Blacksmith's Bench", a "Smithy" or a "Workbench" or even a "Work Bench", so they just use whatever pops into their head first like anyone else may lol. Then the coding lets them still just point it where they need to, creating confusion for modders and admins, even though it works just fine. So, bottom line, we're stuck dealing with some sometimes annoying and confusing connections, but as long as it works, we just have to take it with a grain of salt.

Title says it all! Abberation!!! You already have it preordered? Will you be setting up Abberation servers? Clustering it up or switching your servers to the new xpac? What are your thoughts on the idea of the map, lets see some expectation comments here! What are you the most looking forward to with this new expansion?

Show off your Conan Exiles builds and lets see what your servers are creating! Whether it's screen shots or YouTube links, lets give each other ideas to work from and promote our players to get crafty! Here's one from my own community that one of our members recorded for another's base build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzmJiePmPvM&feature=youtu.be

So, there have been a number of DNL patches lately, and I'm just curious what everyone thinks of all of the changes and updates? How are the dreaded Panther spawns treating you? Any issues with shard harvesting these days? Let us know what you think and get the conversation kicked back up!

I'm really sorry to hear it Wilhelm, I'm currently testing out that change myself, so we'll see here in about a week if everything goes poof yet again. =\ I'm very sorry the method I first suggested didn't work properly for folks. This is still a very new game and everyone is having to learn all of its differences from ARK, so many of the ARK fixes simply don't work for DNL. Trial and error, hopefully we can get more trials than errors though! Thank you all so much for all of the feedback though, as this is a very major issue for many people with servers that have players that can't play every day. This community feedback is what we all need to help each other keep our players interested and having fun, so keep it coming in all of the proper channels!

There we go, it wasn't very far down at all. https://www.survivalservers.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5791-how-do-you-back-up-your-servergame-files-can-they-be-placed-in-sp-and-run/ Of course, you would have to do the steps in reverse to go SP to MP, but there ya have it. =)

I do believe this is indeed possible, using a bit of file renaming magic. There should be a topic on this started here already, though in reverse, I'll see if I can find it for ya.

The version ID in the Control panel has to be updated manually on our end. So long as you've run the update, it's automatically done via steam. It may still display that it's on the prior version, but again, that's just cause we haven't noticed the update yet in order to add the version ID to the updater. The updater will still work though. So you're good. =)

A wise man once said, there are no stupid questions. Only questions left unasked. That was me, just now. But in all seriousness. Never chide yourself for a question, or for overlooking something that ended up being right in front of you, it happens to every single one of us at some point or another, and there's simply no reason to be upset over human nature.

Of course. There is always lots of super useful info in the massive pinned topics section here on the forums. You can also use the search feature at the top of the forum page to potentially find threads that already have your questions answered. Happy to help. =)

In your survival server control panel, there is a check box to "Disable PvE Structure Decay" towards the bottom of Modify Server Config menu. Use that to prevent structure decay.
