Aberration is ARK's underground DLC map, with radiation zones, charge light, climbing picks, and Aberration-specific creatures. The server must use the Aberration_P map value in Commandline Manager to load it correctly.

  1. Make a backup before moving the server to Aberration: Backing up and restoring world and player data on your ARK server.
  2. Open your ARK service in the panel.
  3. Go into Commandline Manager.

  4. Edit the command line you want the server to boot from, or create a dedicated Aberration command line: Creating a custom command line on your ARK server.
  5. Enable the Map field and type Aberration_P.

  6. Save the command line, choose it with Select, then restart the server.

Aberration uses the Aberration_P launch value. If the server starts but the map is wrong, re-open Commandline Manager and check that this exact value is selected.
