In the past year, it has gotten difficult for me to watch ARK videos because I miss it so damn much. The release of Ragnarok, in particular, was a turning point (worsened by the whole Aquatica affair). A painful nostalgia for something that hasn't disappeared for anyone but me. I long for home.
And frankly the latest Astraeos trailer is not helping things. Good Gods that map looks both unique & new... and has a "classic ARK" feel.

What even is this game now ?
Wild Card just released the latest DLC - Lost Colony. Our dedicated server installer now has support for this new map, along with the new options that have been added! Take note though, this new map is HUGE, it takes 20GB of free memory just to start.
Refer to our blog post - https://bitsnbytes.dev/posts/2025-12/ark-lost-colony-dedicated-server.html
for details on getting started with this installer.
(Branded project page for Warlock along with documentation coming shortly.)
No ARK2 trailer at The Game Awards. I expect nothing and I'm still disappointed.
To be fair 5 years ago the ARK2 trailer debuted during The Game Awards, and nothing came out of it ; maybe TGA is now as fed up with WildCard's BS as we are ? XD
Well it's pretty unpolished, but it works. Made good progress on my web manager / installer for games.
Currently supports Debian and Ubuntu, (though technically works on any Linux distro in theory), and supports:

My goals for the project, utilize available system utilities whenever possible. Cross-server communication is done via SSH; services are registered and managed through Systemd, automated jobs are scheduled with crontab.
Oh yeah, and because it doesn't use Docker, you can just access the game files on the server as if they were any other application.
I'm not thrilled that it uses Node.JS / ExpressJS on the backend, but eh, it works...

As we all know I'm months away from even attempting to play ASA but it just hit me that...
...the Curseforge mod platform is super opaque, actually.
Like, this is a PREMIUM mod, ok ? Except nowhere does it state the price.

Hard hitting herbivores ? O_o
Yes, please. So many herbivores will benefit from that, and clearly the vanilla TLC will not touch them at this point (the vote is still ongoing, but it's not looking good for herbivores).
Anyway, this modded Theriz is gorgeous.
*cries in wants to play ASA*
F*ck me, people are so talented in this community.
