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.
Ark Survival Ascended NitradoFor a dedictated 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.
