We've compiled a list of recommended settings for your server. These settings cover Arks, Mod settings, Game rules, Advanced options, and Engrams. Since everyone's play style differs, it's important to understand each setting category and adjust them per your preferences.

What Are The Best Server Settings for ARK: Survival Ascended
Whether you want a tough survival game or something more relaxed, these settings can be changed to fit your liking. While there are no wrong settings here, the ones provided here are recommended for dynamic play with fewer deaths. Take your time going through each part and make your server just how you want it.
MOD Settings
When setting up mods on a server, their impact isn't huge unless many people play at once. Since servers can take up a lot of space on devices, it's smart only to pick the most essential mods and stay moderate.

So, it's best to choose wisely and not overload the server with mods to keep things running smoothly for all players.
