RCON console and admin commands for ARK: Survival Ascended

HaruHost has an RCON console for every ARK: Survival Ascended server, in the desktop app and in any browser. Type a command, or pick a common one such as SaveWorld, ListPlayers or DestroyWildDinos; no separate RCON tool or port forwarding is needed.

Ready-made commands

  • ListPlayers: who is online, with their IDs.
  • SaveWorld: save the world now.
  • ServerChat: send a message to everyone.
  • KickPlayer, BanPlayer and UnBanPlayer with a player ID.
  • DestroyWildDinos: wipe the wild creatures so they respawn with your current settings.
  • DestroyTribeIdStructures: remove a tribe's structures.
  • SetMessageOfTheDay and DoExit.

Automate them

An automation can send commands for you, such as a weekly wild dino wipe or a save before a backup.

In game

Players with the admin role or the admin password use the same commands in the game's console, with admincheat in front.

Questions

Do I have to turn on RCON?

No. HaruHost turns RCON on for every ARK: Survival Ascended server and gives it a port, so the RCON console works with nothing to set.

Do I need to open the RCON port?

No. HaruHost talks to the server on the same machine, so the RCON port stays private.

How do I wipe wild dinos on my ARK server?

Run DestroyWildDinos from the RCON console. New creatures spawn with the current settings.
