	:A: No. '''For PC''' servers, the cluster data is stored in a separate folder for your game server. Survivor, dino, and item data is separate between each server while allowing ~~transfer~~ between both. If you want to deactivate a ~~cluster~~ server, but keep your characters, then transfer all characters/dinos/items to your main server.		:A: No. '''For PC''' servers, the cluster data is stored in a separate folder for your game server.

	~~Q: ''Can I take two separate servers and put them together in a cluster for PC servers?''~~
	~~:A: Yes. To do this, you will need to submit a support ticket with the following information listed below.~~
	~~:#Which server is to be the main server.~~
	~~:#How much saved data you want transferred over.~~
	~~:#If the number of slots / payment plan is different between servers, let us know the slot count / subscription length prior to setup.~~
	:Once we have this information, we will shut down both servers and begin the migration process for you. Once your cluster server has been merged together, we will let you know when your server is ready for use.

	For PC server, two or more servers can be linked together as long as they share the same '''Cluster Code''', which ~~you would make~~ in the control panel. Unlike PS4 servers, custom launch parameters can be used to set either game server to run on Workshop maps, such as Crystal Isles, Gaia, or Shigo Islands. Since both servers will use the same configuration settings, changing any of the permissions / restrictions on uploads or downloads will affect both at once.		For PC server, two or more servers can be linked together as long as they share the same '''Cluster Code''', which can be found in the control panel. The Cluster code is made up by the server owner.
