My advice for the JR supplydrop would be: Dino's: 5 Dinos currently owned by players to take with you (including current dino lvl) 5 Cryopods 1 saddle per chosen dinos Utility: 200 cooked meat 500 narcotics 250 stimulant 50 taming sedative 20 element Gear: 1-2 Metal Hatchet 1-2 Metal Pick 1-2 Metal sickle 1 Metal pike 1 shotgun 50 shotgun rounds 1 Crossbow 50 arrows 1 set of flak gear 1 backpack (if still used) 1 Canteen Buildings: 16 foundations 1 dino gate 1 dino gateway 16 Ceilings 56 Walls 1 vault 1 upgrade station + attachments (if still used) This should let ppl have a decent start without giving to much of a head start to newer players. Please review the list and let me know what you guys think. Maybe some stuff needs to be removed or added.

Hi Guys, As of this post: We have chatted with the community and we have been working to create a better server. (AS frosty says, tirelessly through the night) - at this moment we are chatting on discord. A few things to note about the new servers: Clustering - Is in beta but working, Please note if when you transfer and your survivor doesn't show right away give it 30 seconds and try and download again. We have installed the following mods to begin with, we will add mod's through suggestions as previously, BUT we will be going through all bug reports and will be checking better to see if any conflicts exist so we do not have an issue with the map as previously. Structures Plus Death Recovery Mod Taming Sedative Backpack We have also updated our mod pack - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=940316400 Stacking Mod - We have left this out currently due to the fact we can not find a mod without any issues reported. If you can help find a working / better mod let us know Classic Flyers - WE HAVE NOT INSTALLED THIS YET. Due to the following bug reports: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/895711211/133261369999910543/ If the community still wants to go ahead and install classic flyers please say below, we just don't want to cause any issues to dinos by installing the mod. Please read the bug reports to see if installing it will affect your game experience. Levelling - Is standard currently, a few reasons to this, I do not want to copy our badly designed level structure, if we are editing levels we need to make the levelling structure better and more balanced than before. Dino Levels - Are standard currently due to the fact normal levelling is in place. I'm sure this will change in time GAIA - For the next week or so this is disabled till I can properly review this. We may continue it, we may remove it. Depends what people want. It's a hefty weight to our server resources but I do not mind keeping it but we will be doing the same but adding GAIA on as well as the other mods chosen. SERVER MAINTENANCE & REBOOT - This has now been changed to run at 12 at night and also 12 midday to ensure the servers update mods and have a good restart when necessary We want to provide the most stable experience in ARK and we really hope you understand why we have only selected certain mods to begin with. We will be adding more but at the same time we want to ensure that it doesn't cause us another issue like before.

@JamieMost of the players i know have checked the post if i look at whos read it. Only Jeremy is missing but i havent sen him online in a few days. If i see any online i will tell them.

Hello and Good evening once again fellow JR Members! That time has come, has come again. To conclude our 3rd day of the JR Advent event I would like to give a jingle or two for our winner @MarcusFaren Congratulations! I can confirm that you've won a copy of " 7 Days to Die " which can be redeemed on Steam. I've also sent you a message to confirm this. Thanks again for joining us here at JR and hopefully you enjoy your gift.

We are doing out best here. I haven't been shown how to do things in ark properly yet so I can't spawn in dinos, even tho I really want to. I tend to mess things up even more and I wouldn't want anyone to spend their time "cleaning up" after me. We are doing our best and we really want to help you all, but we do have work from monday to friday (some all weekend as well). When we have time off from work, we will help people but sometimes things happen in life that we can't control. We will sort out the dinos soon because we want everyone to be happy and move on with ark!

No offence but me and Frosty have a full time job to attend to, and I am still here working at work as I type this. You will receive your items, but please be patient, we have a lot on our plate. We are trying our best to attend to everything...

Apologies, was so busy forgot the dmg numbers :') Thanks Chris!

I've found this setting (which should be a default imo) and added it to the server config files. It should take affect upon the next restart

Everything sounds good Jamie, although I'd really really wish we could bring back classic flyers if possible 😎

As you guys know our ARK servers are constantly resetting after reboots. This seems to be due to a corrupt ARK map and on update / restart it resets the map randomly. I need ideas on how to resolve this issue with you guys, I do not want to reset the map or take off mods but to stop all this happening it may have to be the case. The main problem we have is that the map highly revolves around Structures Plus and Small Resource Stacks. If we remove these mods a lot of structures will be lost and all items will be lost due to the way the small resource stacks works. I have a funny feeling that something is conflicting. I can't diagnose or find this out due to the following: ARK has crap linux support All our servers are linux, we can not afford more servers ARK has no logging for linux servers in any way. I feel that the best plan of action is the following: Remove all mods, entirely. Reset all maps, clean out game save files to ensure nothing corrupted stays Have a huge supply drop for our members that have stayed at JR to compensate. The drop will be the same to ensure that people will start at the same level. Gift 5 dinos to each player that has played on our ARK servers for more than 2 hours (we can check due to our JR Website logs) Add one mod a week to see if it causes a problem, we will only use tried and tested mods with a high rating. While I have this plan it may or may not take place, I want your view. The community. How would you feel starting again? It would mean that everyone would be able to find new land, it may draw more players on to the server, resources would be once more balanced and we would all be happier with a stable server. I hate that our server is stable all day but then when it updates due to the corruption it resets the map and peoples things get lost and we look like the bad party. We want to do the best for you guys at JR. If you have any other ideas please let me know, don't be quite. SPEAK UP! I want everyones view as this is a huge decision and while I understand some members will be upset at the thought of loosing everything. It's something I do not want to have to do but I feel that this resetting bug has gone on long enough. We just want our community happy in the long run. We can't keep patching over problems, I'm not going to lie, I don't have another solution that I can think of right now, this would 100% sort the issue I'm sure. Again let me know what you think, please!

rocketmod support be carefull unturned server organiser is a virus but here is mod https://github.com/RocketMod/Rocket/wiki/Commands

For pro players its pretty decent i assume. But i am a new player. Cryopods and an upgrading post, i cant yet use?. The only usefull stuff for a new player is basicly the pick,sickle, hatchet, pike and bow. I understand the problem. And it seems inevitably. But it does work a little demotivating for me. I finally was busy building fun stuff. Deleting everything will be bringing me back to the day i bought Ark and started playing the first day. I dont have the knowledge like you pro players yet. You all will be back up in no time. But as a new player it will take me a while to get where i am at the moment.

I do agree entirely with @MarcusFaren and @Snowball if we all start afresh and we have a specific drop for everybody and help get some dinos back it would be a way better experience for the future. @MarcusFaren + @Snowball could you mention this on the servers for people that are online to check here so they won't miss out on their say. I can't tell people as I'm at work and do not have my laptop

following up on Marcus: Marcus is right with saying allowing transfers from a moddes server to a non(or less) modded server could cause more crashes/bugs. Might be better for admins to spawn in a couple (not to many!) dinos like i previously recommended and start completely clean. Atleast this will guarantee that no bugs are carried over or caused by the absence of mods.

Bon je n'ai pas envie d'écrire en anglais, j'ai tous lu et j'ai compris que l'effacement devait être de mise. (cela m'en gêne un peu) je suis d'accord avec snowball pour le travail qu'il a effectuer, c'est juste titanesque et d'autres sont dans son cas, mais sont absent et ne passent que de temps en temps pour éviter que leur base ne soit pillé ou que l'on leur vole leurs dinos, et ne jouent "plus" (plus d'activité de farm, n'y de tame... etc le gros soucis a été je pense et j'en met ma main à couper "Cross aberration" the island a sauté il y a quelques mois avec tout le travail monstre de, "Frank T" a fait avec sa team et le mien (mais j'avais stopper avant) le transfère de dinos qui proviennent d'un mod qu'on supprime ensuite fait bug, freez, et crash énormément un/des serveur(s). Car le dites mod en question n'est que sur un serveur et non partager sur tous. Ragnarok n'aillant pas été réinitialisé après la suppression du mod "Cross Aberration" a fait des crash de plus en plus fréquent car des données sont toujours sur la map (comme des œufs de rock Drake trouver récemment par moi en me promenant il y a quelques jours) voilà le gros problème et cela n'ira jamais pour les autres serveurs si vous rajouter des mod's "exclusif", je veux dire par là, que Cross Aberration était exclusif à Ragnarok et par ailleurs "Scorched Earth Anywhere" est exclusif aussi à The Island, si l'on le supprime certains dinos sur Ragnarök ou d'autres map comme extinction feront sauter le/les serveur(s) car certains "morellatops" ou autres ont été transféré. Je sais que le mod "scortched earth anywhere" a servit surtout à remplacer la suppression du serveur (map) scortched earth (cette map ne servant qu'à aller chercher le "phénix") Car les données "dinosaure-tame, ressource-collect, build-craft" sur un serveur comme the island avec son mod exclusif fera bug un autre serveur comme Ragnarök par exemple le mod stack va sur le mod "scortched earth anywhere" mais n'est pas d'actualité sur les ressources de Ragnarök les ressources de SC sont en stack basic. Il faut savoir aussi que les ressources, dinosaures et les structures de mod's ont leur ID personnelles (je sais que vous le savez mais pas toutes la communauté) et donc si les dinosaures sont transféré qui appartiennent à un mod exclusif ne se pas bien delete sur le/les serveur(s) transféré il se passera ce qui s'est passé sur "the island" précédemment. (reset) Par rapport à ce qu'a dit Chris dernièrement avec la création exclusif d'un serveur pour garder les dinos ou tout autres choses cela n'est pas envisageable.. Car l'on va garder des fichiers corrompus et qui va causé ultérieurement ENCORE des bugs et crash. Par ailleurs c'est gentil de faire ce genre de geste Il faut pensé à des mod's utiles et qui ne sont pas lents pour un serveur (les mod's fun sont cool, mais qu'un temps) snowball a fait une belle liste et je suis d'accord à 95% avec celle-là.

I have also had a look at the mods on the server now and by my opinion this is what they should be ranked as: Red = known to cause issues Green = very convenient I marked the backpack as nice to have since it could be replaced with a stacking mod. Maybe as an addition to the intended gift you could let established players take a handfull of their dinos with them (dino levels included) but limiting this to a max amount of for example 3-5 dinos (of their own choice). Rule being the dino is currently owned by that player ofcourse. I would like to ask everyone for a speedy decision since if we are intended on wiping everything, all the work people do from now to the wipe would be pointless and an absolute waste of time.

For me this reset is not necessary since i dont realy play on ragnarok. As far as i know this is the only server that frequently has problems with resetting. Extinction never has issues so far (luckily!) and the island/aberration are running fairly stable aswell. I cannot speak for Gaia vulcano since i dont play that map. Although i dont mind restarting every now and then ive spent quite some hours on the game and would not like it where ppl that have been online once a week getting the same start-up boost as someone that has got so much more than them now (before reset). One other thing i would hate about this is that a server crash after the launch of extinction (the memory issue) caused me to lose my highly/perfectly mutated dinos. Ofcourse this was handled appropriately by JR but fact remains that i have since started breeding them again to see if i can once again get them to perfect mutation stats. Having to start this once again will be a bit of a bore. Since i have invested alot of time into the JR servers now and do not experience issues i will vote no since i do not feel the rewards after reset make up for the loss.

@MarcusFaren as you are aware we run quite a few servers, If we are not aware of this within a week or so from members we can not be held responsible. We try our upmost best for our community. Ark is a pain in the backside, it's not just us having issues with map resets it seems to happen to many ARK servers. I will see about extending our backups for 2 weeks but we are limited a lot on space due to the fact I can not afford to pay for another server. It upsets me when this happens as in the end of the day I want to make sure every one is happy. I pay out a lot for JR and it really annoys me that this bug keeps happening to the servers. I wish I could do more to help bring back the map but the long story short it does not exist within the backups (in our backups while we keep 7 days of zips, they actually have a few days in the zips each). I will again look in to seeing if we can do anything else with the ARK servers to stop this from happening but I can't promise anything due to the fact ARK's server stack sucks and gives us nothing but headache. I wouldn't mind but there is no logging for our linux servers, ARK only saves and shows logs for Windows servers causing it a complete pain to actually diagnose what is going on.

Good evening JR Members. The time for giving has come again and as a result of this years advent event here at JR, we're now 2 day''s in and what does that mean you may be asking?.... Well good ole frosty clause tell you just what that means! If you haven't guessed already it means we have two prizes ready to place under the lucky winners trees this year. Prize number 1 ( 2x Overwatch loot boxes) goes too @Snowball - Congratulations Snowball, i hope you enjoy your gifts and get something great in your boxes Prize number 2 = Dead space (steam or origin redeemable) - Goes too @SLABJACK Congratulations Slabjack!, Grab your blanket, a warm beverage and your prefferred weapon of choice as it's going to be a night of terror for you! Off to a great start this December and remember, gifts will be provided each day up until the 25th of December here at JR so stay tuned, you may find that your name is called next.

when you transfers back to the island via an obelisk you will get the question if you want to overwrite your character. If you chose not to do so then your old transferred character will still be there but you will have to download it.

Since its been nearly a month the pain has gone, the only problem now is food getting stuck which gets pretty annoying at times

I mean like I'm just working on whatever this room is gonna end up being

I can assure you they are working hard to resolve the ark issue. If youll notice on the bottom right corner where the vote is theres a date they were waiting for everyone to vote by, they might be waitining to make the final decision until after that date.

I will take a look now, Due to the fact we were not made aware of this in time we do not have a backup of this server. Our backups only last for 7 days at a time due to space constraints. If you have lost stuff valuable I can get an admin to help with this but currently I can not do anything. Sorry about this @MarcusFaren
