Important information regarding the numbers in the above example.

The first digit is the item ID.
Second digit is the quantity.
Third digit is the quality of the item you want to spawn.

**Example. ** GiveItemNum 1 1 10 0 Will give you an ascendant or master-craft pistol.

Fourth digit is wether you want the item to be a blueprint or not. Putting 0 means false, and 1 means true. Example. GiveItemNum 1 1 1 1 This command will give you a simple pistol blueprint.

DayCycleSpeedScale=1.000000

Specifies the scaling factor for the passage of time in the ARK world, controlling how often day changes to night and night changes to day. The default value 1 provides the same cycle speed as the singleplayer experience (and the official public servers). Values lower than 1 slow down the cycle; higher values accelerate it. Base time when value is 1 appears to be 1 minute real time equals approx. 28 minutes game time. Thus, for an approximate day/night cycle to match real world 24 hours, use 0.035

DayTimeSpeedScale=1.000000

Question 5

How to resolve lag on your Space Engineers Server

Accepted Answer

When there’s lag on a Space Engineers server there are three likely reasons as to why its happening:

A map issue
A mod issue
An issue with configuration or in-game script.

The most likely reason is that the server is experiencing map issues which can be resolved by following this article.

| At the bottom of this article there is a list of found causes of lag from things built within the world, this may help you finding the cause within your world.

How to perform a map clean-up:

Please note that as of 23rd August 2019 you must clean up using ingame admin tools (ALT + F10) or using Torch! SE Toolbox no longer works and we can no longer provide assistance regarding it.

We understand the in game tools are not as efficient as this tool so please do ensure you clean the world as best as possible via these in game tools to maintain a good and well performing world as this is vital to a lag free gaming experience with Space Engineers.

Using Space Master

To use Space Master, load into your server and hit ALT + F10. You must have admin privileges to open the admin menu and once opened it should look like this:

Question 6

My server is not showing in the ARK: Survival Evolved server list

Accepted Answer

This issue does not prevent you from joining the game server, you will always be able to join via the Steam Server favourites. See here on how to do this.

If you do not see your server in Steam Server favourites, please contact us and we will be happy to investigate. Make sure you give the server enough time to start up fully before proceeding.

When do i know when the server has started fully?

Watch the "Memory" amount in the control panel, make sure Auto Refresh is ticked, the ram level will have usually stopped moving when its online, if its still increasing then its likely still starting up.
Check in Steam Favourites following this article, see if it shows up with the name displayed. If the slots are 0/0 or it shows as not responding, its likely still starting up.

| Startup can take a varying amount of time depending on how many mods you have, if the game server is on HDD, SSD or NVME disk, if other game servers are starting up at the same time, or if its starting up for the first time or just after an update.

So, why isn't my ARK: Survival Evolved game server showing up in the in-game list?

There are many reasons for this, you should first check the following:

The server is fully online, please see above for how to check.
