ArkHive

Give your players a companion app your competitors don't have — for free.

ArkHive connects your ARK: Survival Ascended server to the ArkHive web app (arkhive.zone). Your players get live tribe telemetry on their phone, baby & imprint push alerts, in-world waypoints, real-time event feeds, item logistics and full death recovery. You get a community that stays.

The mod is free for server owners. No fees, no tiers, nothing — ever. Players use the app free, with an optional premium plan. Installing ArkHive costs your server nothing and gives your community a reason to log in (and come back).

WHAT IT DOES

In-world: when you use "Locate" in the ArkHive app, a glowing beacon or a HUD pin appears at the exact spot — your dino, your crate, any point on the map. Follow the light.

Behind the scenes: the mod runs a server-safe telemetry engine that feeds the ArkHive app tame status, feeding troughs, generators and turrets, births, deaths, kills, cryopod activity — with incremental updates, strict filtering and hard output caps designed for zero gameplay impact even on heavily populated servers.

FOR SERVER ADMINS — SETUP IN 3 STEPS

Install the mod on your server like any other CurseForge mod (all maps supported, stack-friendly).
Register your server at arkhive.zone/partner to activate the ArkHive integration.
Done. Your players link their account with a one-time code generated in-game — no passwords, no manual admin work.

FEATURES

In-world POI beacon or 2D HUD pin with label and distance, dismissable in-game
Per-player or tribe-shared markers; pins follow the HUD toggle
Session-only markers — never written to the world save
Live tribe telemetry with incremental updates
Real-time events: deaths, births, kills (with weapon/mount details), structure destruction, cryopods, claims
Duplication-safe item logistics and full death recovery (inventory, hotbar, equipped items)
Secure account linking via in-game one-time codes
Does not replace core game classes (stack-friendly with other mods)

IMPORTANT

This is a companion integration layer: it does nothing on its own and requires the ArkHive server-side setup to operate. On a server without that integration it stays idle. Visit arkhive.zone to get started.

COMPATIBILITY

ARK: Survival Ascended, all maps
Non-invasive, no core class overrides — safe alongside other mods
Hardened for large maps and high wild-creature populations

PLANNED
