@Tallon I love your maps. Could you possibly make a 3x4 map with the kraken & powerstones?

I upload mine FTP and then restart server from top. Just a pain to have to do that and having to shutdown automatic updates overnight.

Over the weekend there was an issue with mods not working right so I was told that they added a new mod field where you could put the mod ID's at. It works great and helped me through my issue. However, after they put that field in, when you do updates the servers are overwriting the ini's. I informed tech support yesterday of this and they are supposed to be looking into it. Until then after you do an update you'll need to start the server from the top and not the bottom.

Hi, there is an issue when doing Eco's mod on Atlas. The mod file with the mod id seems to be overwritten each time the server looks for updates. She says it is a hosting issue. I know I can turn off auto mod updating, but I'd rather not, so is there another fix or something that can be looked in to?

Thanks you

They added this to the patch the other day, but not seeing it as an option -AlwaysActiveFountainsOfYouth We have people who are 100 and getting the debuff now. Also here is how you can spawn it in for your peeps once this command line is active: "Cheat Summon FountainOfYouth_BP_C "and then "cheat settimeofday 06:30:00" until it appears at the place you spawned it 

So I enlarged my map and added 3 more servers to make it a 3x3. I did not reset the servers or do a wipe. I am noticing two things now. 1. I now get some client crashes when travelling between grids, which I never got before. 2. People's ages change from their old age to age 20 when traveling to the new servers. I am thinking that the Day count on the new server is changed so not sure if this is something that can be changed.

You're right, it really isn't that hard, but I have like 10 people who would be texting me at all hours asking to switch the servers, lol. I'll wait for some better tech or another option.. In the meantime some server discounts would be nice. I really want a 3x3 map, but already have my wife looking at me crazy for asking for 6.

I honestly would like to do a 4x4 map. 16x16 map is very large and probably too big for my group. Honestly I'd up my server plan to 8 (I do 6 now) if I could get that to work with a 4x4 map using an automated method of turning those on and off that are not populated. I would even advertise how and where I got that working and right now my mod is currently doing pretty well (243 subscribers) and about to do even better once I do my next update which will add many things that are currently individual mods (sails and dinos being added in the next day or so). I'll fly your banner if you can get this to work and implemented.

This would be cool if it were automated but to have to go in and switch the server manually before moving your ship over would not be ideal for us.

You add the mod id's through the map editor. Load your saved JSON file project, at the top where you would save, hit Edit. That screen has the mod id place. Enter them, save and then export your JSON file, then add the new JSON file to your map. This is for multiple grids. I heard it is different for single grids. The devkit announcement has the info there as well.

I have not messed with the Ark way of doing it as you did above in those settings, but on the map editor if you ctrl click each island you can override the NPC levels that way. I just did that for some test islands. I increased the multiplier from 1.0 to 10. This will add it to the JSON file which might be conflicting with the Ark way, but not sure.

I've been using ACCIon RCON. It's not as fully functional as some, but it allows me to shoot out messages when server updates need to happen to all servers.

There is an interesting thing being worked on to allow for larger maps. When it is ready and confirmed stable is this something we would be able to do here? I would still need multiple servers to do this, but having the option to expand out to a larger map (even if not the full 225) with 6-9 servers would be pretty awesome. https://www.playatlas.com/index.php?/forums/topic/26691-i-made-a-program-to-help-solo-players-and-small-groups-play-alone-across-all-225-grids-much-easier-and-on-most-hardware/
