Step 1 - Uploading your world
-
On your PC browse to your ARK Steam Folder
Normally found at the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArksLocal
-
Connect to your server using FTP.
For information on how to do this, see here: [How to connect to FTP](https://logicservers.co.uk/client/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&catid=1&id=2)) -
Once connected, browse to /Saved/SavedArks/
If you are using a different save directory on your command line, you will need to browse into the directory you have selected. -
Copy everything from your SavedArksLocal folder into the SavedArks directory
-
Your world is now uploaded!
Step 2 - Fixing your player profile
-
Inside the SavedArks directory look for the ‘LocalPlayer.arkprofile’ file
-
Get your SteamID64 number
We suggest using http://steamid.io to find this number -
Rename the ‘LocalPlayer.arkprofile’ to ‘YourID.arkprofile’
Make sure to replace the ‘YourID’ part with your SteamID64 number
Step 3 - Uploading your configuration
-
Browse back to the /Saved/ directory on FTP, then go into the Config/LinuxServer/ folder
-
On your computer, go out one level from the SavedArksLocal directory into the Saved directory
-
Then into the Config\WindowsNoEditor\ folder, if you’re on Mac or Linux go into the Config/LinuxNoEditor/ folder
-
Upload the Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini into the Config/LinuxServer/ folder on your server
Step 4 - Installing the mods, changing your world
-
To install the mods your local world had, you just need to click on the steam update button as long as you uploaded your GameUserSettings.ini.
