ARK Omega Mod: Dedicated Server Setup Guide

ARK Omega is the most popular overhaul mod for ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA), transforming the gameplay with hundreds of new tiered dinos, a skill tree, MMORPG-style progression, and boss systems. Hosting an Omega server requires significantly more CPU power than vanilla due to custom AI logic processing. This guide covers everything server operators need to know.

๐Ÿ”ข Omega Workshop ID

The Omega mod Workshop ID on ASA is 928793590. Subscribe your server via the RCON servercheat ScriptCommand AddModItemToServer or via the mod manager.

โš™๏ธ Ini Changes

Omega requires specific entries in Game.ini to enable its creature framework, custom item tier configs, and boss progression flags.

Installing ARK Omega on Your Server

Add the mod ID to your GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]:

[ServerSettings]
ActiveMods=928793590
# If running additional mods, comma-separate IDs:
# ActiveMods=928793590,123456789

Essential Game.ini Configuration

Add these entries to your Game.ini to enable Omega's core systems:

[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
bUseSingleplayerSettings=False
MaxTamedDinos=5000
OfficialDifficulty=5.0

# Omega Specific
GlobalSpoilingTimeMultiplier=2.0
DinoCountMultiplier=1.5

Performance Considerations

ARK Omega's custom AI is computationally intense. Recommended specs for 20+ players:

  • CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X or equivalent โ€” Omega spawns hundreds of custom-tier dinos
  • RAM: 32 GB minimum โ€” the Omega framework loads large JSON configuration trees at boot
  • Tick Rate: Keep NetServerMaxTickRate at 60 to avoid rubber-banding during raid events

Pro Tip: Limit your active custom-tier dino count via the Omega config dashboard to prevent CPU overload during late-game. Even powerful servers struggle with 1,000+ Omega-tier dinos active simultaneously.
