How to install Scorched Earth on your Ascended server?

Installing maps on game servers can often be complicated, but fortunately ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) offers a simplified process for integrating these changes, including maps like The Center or Scorched Earth. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install this map on your ASA server 🙂

Requirements

Before you start, make sure you have FTP access to your ASA server and that you have a server with ASA installed.

Step 1: Taking the map into account when the server starts up

The first step in activating your map is to ensure that it is recognised when the server starts up. To do this, you need to modify the server command line to include your map.

Here is the procedure for servers hosted on Oxygenserv :

1. Connect to the Dashboard
2. In the server parameters, in the “Server Map” text box, specify the map that will be executed when the server is launched. Here for Scorched Earth: ScorchedEarth_WP
3. It’s important to note that for a DLC map, you must use the name of the map rather than a mod ID (which must be entered in the “MOD ID” field).

Step 2: Automatic installation of the modded map

Once you have configured the map in the server settings and/or entered the mod id for modded maps, the rest of the process is automated. The map is treated like any other mod and will be installed automatically when the server starts up, if it hasn’t already.

You will find the map files in the following directory on your server:

ShooterGame/Content/Mods.

Step 3: Automatic map update

To keep your server and map running smoothly, it’s crucial that everything is kept up to date. Fortunately, ASA manages this automatically.
