Ark: Survival Evolved

Stranded on the shores of a mysterious island, you must learn to survive. Use your cunning to kill or tame the primeval creatures roaming the land, and encounter other players to survive, dominate… and escape!
Ark: Survival Evolved is our community's origin. We run a full cluster of all maps, with vanilla public servers, and modded whitelisted servers for our Patrons. We are a beginner-friendly community, and have a team of dedicated admins. Our team and the players within the community regularly organise fun events to attend.
Aquatica Update: How to join our servers
The new Aquatica update broke a lot of servers and the majority of mods. To make sure you can keep playing without interruptions while the dev team is fixing issues, we are running our Survival Evolved servers on the preaquatica branch.
In order to join our servers, you will need to switch to the preaquatica branch in Steam. You can do this by right-clicking on Ark: Survival Evolved in your Steam library, selecting Properties, going to the Betas tab, and selecting preaquatica from the dropdown menu.
Stay up-to-date by joining our Discord server, where we will post updates on the situation and when we can switch back to the main branch.

Great! Do I need to adhere to any rules?
Why yes, of course! Check out the #rules channel in our Discord.
What mods do I need?
In order to guarantee an uninterrupted experience regarding updates, our public servers are vanilla, i.e. no mods are needed to join the servers. We did modify the beacon loot drops to be more interesting, and we have increased stack sizes.
Our Patron-only servers run the following mods:
- Structures Plus
- Castles, Keeps and Forts: Remastered
- Crystal Isles Dinos Addition
- Death Recovery Mod
- Configurable Spyglass
For a more up-to-date overview of mods running on every server, check out the details page of that server.
We also have an event server that runs a modded event map. Events are organized on a regular basis there.
