Server files
Below are the pastebin links for the SOTF2: Revival Mod server files. These files are always changing on the official network and as such these are not exact copies, but should be enough to setup the important bits to host your own server/s. Additional changes on the official network are not mod based changes, they are standard ARK remaps etc.
