Frequently asked questions · ARK: Survival Ascended server
ASA uses CurseForge: paste the mod IDs into NexusPanel and the server downloads and activates them on the next boot, no manual uploads.
Yes. ASA supports PC, Xbox and PlayStation crossplay; the option is enabled in the server configuration.
Significantly. Unreal Engine 5 is heavy, so the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and DDR5 ECC RAM are what keep ASA smooth server-side.
Yes. Link several maps with a shared ClusterId to transfer characters, dinos and items between servers.
The Island, The Center, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Ragnarok, Astraeos, Lost Colony and the Club ARK hub, plus new maps as they release.
ASA is much heavier than Evolved: count on 8 GB as a working minimum for a small vanilla server, and 16 GB or more once you run a large map, a big tribe or a stack of CurseForge mods. Maps differ a lot, the denser ones and heavily built bases push memory use up steadily as your save grows. Our DDR5 ECC plans scale accordingly and the RAM you order is dedicated to your server.
Not always. Crossplay works on ASA, but console clients can only load the mods their platform allows, so a server running mods that consoles do not support becomes PC-only in practice. If your community includes Xbox or PlayStation players, check each mod's platform compatibility on CurseForge before enabling it, and keep your crossplay server on a lighter, console-friendly modlist. A common setup is one modded PC server plus a vanilla crossplay server in the same cluster.
