In this guide, I’ll show you how to install ARK mods using Steam Workshop through the FinnishHost Game Panel.
Step 1: Add Mod IDs
- Open your service → Workshop / SteamCMD.
- Paste each numeric mod ID on its own line (no commas).
- Click Save.
Step 2: Download Mods
Click Update Server Files to download Workshop content to the server.
Step 3: Enable Mods
- Open Configuration Files →
GameUserSettings.ini. - Under
[ServerSettings], set:
ActiveMods=111111111,222222222,333333333
Keep core frameworks first if the author recommends a specific order.
Step 4: Restart and Verify
Start the server and watch the Web Console for mod load lines. Join to confirm everything works.
Step 5: Troubleshooting
- If startup fails after adding a mod, remove its ID from
ActiveMods, restart, then re-add after testing. - Re-run Update Server Files after large mod updates to avoid version mismatches.
Notes
We provide support for installation and startup only. We don’t support mod code, balancing, or conflicts between third-party mods.
