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.

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:

Once opened, open the dropdown and select Trash Removal this is where you'll set parameters for what should be removed during trash removal.

Question 6

Automatic Mod Installation and Update for ARK: Survival Evolved

Accepted Answer

We have an automatic mod install and update system available for our ARK: Survival Evolved game servers. With a simple setup, you'l never need to worry about installing or keeping mods up-to-date ever again.

Important notes

This only applies to ARK: Survival Evolved.
When using this method, you must specify the mods in the command line, not the configuration file.
You can find the Mod ID, of any mod, or map mod, at the end of the URL. For example:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1581857481

The id is at the end after id= . So the Mod ID would be ++1581857481++

How to setup:

Open the command line manager. (You'll see a button in your control panel) and then click the New button.
If you have an existing command line you can click on this and edit the command line.
For the mods, you would place the MOD ID's in the provided workshop mod ids box. separated by a comma:

|| MOD1,MOD2,MOD3,MOD4

||| Ensure you do not have spaces in-between the mod ID's as this will not install any mod after the first mod. It must be set as shown above.

| If using a map mod, select the map drop down and choose the Any Workshop Map Mod, then in the box that shows, add the map mod ID. You must also add this MOD ID to the END of the workshop mod ids list set in step 3. Otherwise the files will not be downloaded.

Select the Enable Auto Managed Mods check box
Once all done, click
