Support Wiki
DO NOT use GitHub as a support forum. The issues section is reserved for just that, issues and feature requests. Please read through existing issues before making a new one. If you have general questions or a question on something else not covered in the wiki, join our Discord using this link and search for an answer to your question in the appropriate channels.
Before requesting support from our Discord, please understand that ArkBot is a free tool and that one-on-one support may not always be available. We encourage new users to utilize the Discord search function for an answer to their issue(s).
ArkBot is designed in its current form to be run on the machine hosting your gameservers. While methods exist to mirror/link files from a remote gameserver, arkbot is not designed with these workarounds in mind currently and as such are unsupported. We will offer no support if you choose to go this route.
Active Development has ceased.
Important Dependency Note: ArkBot relies upon certain VS C++ runtimes installed. It requires .NET 3.5 with service pack 1, .NET 4.7, and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2013. Please note: If you are running a windows server install, you must install the .NET 3.5 and 4.7(or 4.8) from the server admin panel.
This has been installed on WS 2012R2, WS 2016, WS 2019, and Windows 10. Other platforms may not work. Try it at your own risk.

An in-game companion app for players and Discord bot for server administrators.
The application monitors and extracts data from any number of configured local ARK servers and exposes this data through a Web App, Web API and Discord Bot.
It aims to provide important functions to players: dino listings, food-status, breeding info, statistics; and server admins: rcon-commands, server managing etc. It does not enable cheating or making available data that have a considerable impact on how the game is played.
