Support Wiki
DO NOT use GitHub as a support forum. The issues section is reserved for just that, issues and error reporting. If you need support with setup, have general questions, or something else not covered in the wiki, join our Discord using this link. Be sure to read #welcome in the Discord on how to get support for ArkBot.
Before requesting support from our Discord, please understand that 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 and as such are unsupported. We will offer no support if you choose to go this route.
We have found a developer and we are currently working on bugfixes at the moment. We currently have in our discord (link found above) a poll with what feature adds to work on next. The top 4 suggestions will be worked on. One of the first feature requests we will working on is adding support for any modmap server admins wish to utilize. We will be making a user editable drag-and-drop folder for map images so all admins will need to do is place a map image in for it to work within arkbot.
If you wish to help support our costs for development, you can donate by simply typing "donate" (no quotes) in our discord in any channel. Everything donated goes directly back into ArkBot. Alternativly, you may click here without joining discord.

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.
