How to do deploy the mod, and get your server up and running!
MorEndGame
Where you can continue to level, spread around stats that make you feel not so restricted to %100 damage, or %100 weight, etc. Lets see what high end tribes we can see come from this!

How to play

Option 1: QUICK CONNECT (Recommended!)
steam://connect/ark.indgen.co:27015 (works in a browser or as a desktop shortcut!)

Option 2: SAVE IN FAVORITES
In TOP LEFT OF steam client go to "VIEW" then "SERVERS"
Go to FAVORITES tab
Right click in the window and add server by ip
Enter IP: ark.indgen.co:27015
Add server!

How to host
Important to open ports 27015 and 7777 on the host running the server.

To use this mod with a dedicated server:

I recommend using the ARK Server Manager
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=468312476&insideModal=1

Install and run the EXE on your dedicated server, it will want to locate your steamapp.exe folder.

Map Name = /Game/Mods/484785879/MorEndGame
Additional Arguments = ?ModId=484785879

Clicking Show command should give you something like this.

D:\ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe /Game/Mods/484785879/MorEndGame?QueryPort=27015?MultiHome=100.78.84.79?MaxPlayers=777?Port=7777?listen?ModId=484785879 -nosteamclient -game -server -log


Clients that connect to your Server will then dynamically download the Mod from Steam Workshop before connecting, if they don't already have it installed!

FINAL STEPS

How to login and download your subscribed mods in Steam. This is required for your steam launcher to see the mod files you have subscribed to, and launch the server.

Download SteamCMD and Extract it somewhere that steam can download and update its core files: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
Run steamcmd - this will inflate the steam install to your current directory.

from steamcmd command line login.
login USERNAME PASSWORD

tell steam to install to a target location (Solid state, etc)
force_install_dir D:\ARK\

tell steam to install/update the game 346110 (ARK) and validate the files are not corrupt.
app_update 346110 validate

this should show lines similar to this
Steam>app_update 346110 validate

When complete, you can safely log out of steam with 'logout'.

You will need to copy over the binaries to the ARK server's folder, so copy
D:\ARK\steamapps\workshop\content\346110\484785879
to
D:\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods\484785879

You can start the standard server by using the launcher above or browsing to the D:\ARK\shootergame\binaries\win64\ and creating a batch file:

Right click > New text Document

Change name >Serverstart.bat

Open the new batch file in a text editor and place the code into it. Save the file.

Change the code below as needed:
D:\ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe /Game/Mods/484785879/MorEndGame?QueryPort=27015?MultiHome=100.78.84.79?MaxPlayers=777?Port=7777?listen?ModId=484785879 -nosteamclient -game -server -log

where Mods is the folder we added, 484785879 folder is the MorEndGame mod folder, and we are asking it to load MorEndGame map. This will re-direct to "The Island" with the enhancements the mod provides.
