Before requesting support from our Discord, please understand that ArkBot is designed in its current form to be run on the machine hosting your gameservers. While methods exist to mirror/link files from a remote gameserver, arkbot is not designed with these workarounds in mind and as such are unsupported. We will offer no support if you choose to go this route.
All development has halted as we have been unable to find a developer willing to pickup this project. If you would like to develop it further, please visit our discord and speak to one of our admins for details.

An in-game companion app for players and Discord bot for server administrators.
The application monitors and extracts data from any number of configured local ARK servers and exposes this data through a Web App, Web API and Discord Bot.
It aims to provide important functions to players: dino listings, food-status, breeding info, statistics; and server admins: rcon-commands, server managing etc. It does not enable cheating or making available data that have a considerable impact on how the game is played.
