ARK: Survival Ascended – Reset Server Mods

Adding mods to your ARK: Survival Ascended server is a wonderful way to add new features, content, and improvements to your gameplay. However, problems may arise that crash the server or cause it to be unstable. This can happen for a variety of reasons, with the most common issues relating to mods. Due to this, you might want to reset the mods folder to resolve or troubleshoot the situation – especially if you made recent changes. With this in mind, we’ve created this Nitrado guide to help you wipe and re-download the server mods.

How to Reset Mods on ASA Servers

1. Head towards your Nitrado Web Interface, then navigate to Settings > CurseForge Mods on the left.

1. Proceed to enable the “Reset mods folder on next server restart” option.

1. Click “Save Changes” at the bottom, then restart the server to begin this process.

⚠️ You can only wipe the mods folder every 24 hours. All mods re-download after restart.

Reset Mods – FAQ

Why would I want to reset my server mods?

In some cases, mods become corrupted during download, fail to update properly, or cause crashes after a game patch. Restarting the server tends to help resolve these issues, but occasionally it doesn’t work. Due to this, resetting the mods folder is your best option since it forces a full re-download of all mods. This helps fix broken or outdated files and removes any mods that no longer work correctly or are incompatible with the current game version.

Do my server mods re-download after reset?

Yes! Resetting the mods deletes everything, then re-downloads after restarting the server. If you want to uninstall mods, this can be done by clicking on them from the “Installed Mods” area. This is located in the “CurseForge Mods” section of your web interface.

Why is there a 24 hour cooldown to reset mods?

This is required to ensure our systems are stable, as sending too many requests like this can overload it. We strongly recommend disabling the reset mods option after you’re finished.

My server is still not working, what now?

If you’re trying to troubleshoot mod related issues on your ARK: Survival Ascended server, then check the “Log Files” area on your web interface. This can help determine which mods are causing problems, then you can uninstall them accordingly. You may also find errors pointing to other causes for this situation, such as problematic configuration files. Contacting our Support Team is also an option, as a last resort.
