01
What you can get
Most requests are a mix of two of these.
01
Nitrado & server coding
- Game.ini coding. The file most people copy and paste wrong, written properly for what you actually want.
- GameUserSettings.ini coding. Rates, limits and switches set deliberately instead of by guesswork.
- Server configuration. The settings behind the panel, sorted out in one pass.
- Custom rates and settings. Harvest, XP, taming, breeding and imprint tuned to how your players play.
- Full server setup assistance. From a fresh Nitrado server to one your players can join and stay on.
02
Tools & applications
- Custom applications. Something built for your server when nothing off the shelf fits.
- Useful ARK utilities. Small tools that remove the repetitive parts of running a server.
- Player and server information. Getting the numbers you need out of what you already run.
- Simons Admin Tool. V1.0.1 is free to download now, and V2 is in development.
03
ARK information
- Cave information. What is in there, what you need, and what kills you on the way in.
- Farming spots. Where the resources actually are on the map you are on.
- Dino information. Taming, stats, breeding and what a creature is worth bothering with.
- Building and structure information. Placement, limits and what holds up under a raid.
- Raiding information. How it goes wrong, and how defences get planned properly.
- General ARK guides. Straight answers instead of a ten minute video.
04
Self promotion
- Promote your ARK server. Get in front of players who are already looking for one.
- Advertise your services. If you build, host or admin for other people, say so.
- Find players and communities. Recruiting works better where everyone already plays ARK.
02
How it works
No forms, no sales call, and no invoice before you know the price.
- Say what you run and what is wrongNitrado or elsewhere, which maps, PVP or PVE, and the thing that made you look for help.
- Get a price firstTold to you before any work starts. If the fix is two lines in a config file, you will be told that instead of sold a package.
- The work gets doneIn your own server and your own files, with what changed written down so the next person can follow it.
- You keep itConfigs, presets and notes stay yours, and you are free to run everything yourself afterwards.
03
Two Discords, and which to use
Separate servers on purpose, so tool chat and service work do not bury each other. One is open, one is on its way.
Opening soon
