ARK Dedicated Server Wiki
68 guides to help you master ARK
ARK: Survival Evolved (ASE) and ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) use different server apps and content. Choose the edition before opening hosting plans or a server directory.
ARK has two server products with different apps, maps, mod delivery, and operating-system expectations. Start by choosing the edition; then use the shared guides only where the page explicitly covers both.
๐ฆ ARK: Survival Evolved (ASE)
Original 2017 ARK. Steam app 376030, classic maps, Steam Workshop mods, and Windows/Linux dedicated-server setup.
Open ASE guides โ
โจ ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA)
UE5 remaster. Steam app 2430930, ASA maps/content, and its own server and mod workflow.
Open ASA guides โ
Edition check: โARK SEโ normally means Survival Evolved (ASE), not Survival Ascended. Do not use an ASA
_WP map, CurseForge mod, or server app on an ASE instance.Server Setup
