Ark Survival Ascended

This documentation explains how to configure Tip4Serv for handling donations, items, XP, and subscriptions on your ARK: Survival Ascended server.

For Nitrado servers

Nitrado does not support external plugins. To deliver rewards (items or dinos), you’ll need to use the ASA Bot Companion mod together with Tip4Serv. This mod provides a dedicated script command system that works without plugins.

For a dedicated server

If you are running your own dedicated ARK: Survival Ascended server, you can use the ARK Server API with plugins.

Depending on your setup, you will need:

• ARK Server API – required to install plugins on your server.

• RCON access – necessary if you plan to use the RCON connection method.

• ArkShop plugin or WShop UI mod – allows you to give and manage points.

• Permissions plugin – used for handling subscriptions and player permissions.

• Browser button & QR code mod - usefull to redirect players to your shop with their EOSID

⚖️ Plugin vs RCON Comparison

Feature	Plugin	RCON
Player Required Online	✅ Yes	❌ No
Supports Self Commands	✅ Yes (GiveItem)	❌ No
Executes Commands	Player (in-game)	Server, even when empty
Multi-server Setup	One server entry with shared API key possible	Each server must be added and linked individually

🔀 Using Plugin and RCON Together

You can use both connection methods simultaneously. For example:

• Use Plugin for item delivery and player-dependent actions

• Use RCON for account-based tasks like points and permissions

This hybrid setup offers maximum flexibility across all your products.
