To give you a smooth start, we've developed the SafeBase Shield, which gives you a protected space to build and live without interference. It's important to us that you can experience the world of ARK your way. That's why we offer a balanced mix of PVE and a little PVP, so you can decide how you want to play. We guarantee no wipes to keep your progress and achievements safe. Whether you're new to ARK or experienced, you've come to the right place. So, get ready for your adventure. Have fun exploring!

Connect

To connect to our cluster, there are various options (be sure to subscribe to the mods beforehand!)

• Steam Game Server
  Launch Steam and select "View" from the main menu, then select "Game Servers". Then you have the option A) select "Change Filter" at the bottom/left and enter "bukanier.org" (without quotes) as the server name & search, or even better B) click on the + symbol at the bottom/center of the "Favorites" tab and enter the above IP:PORT (e.g., 23.88.7.42:17000). This way, they are saved and don't have to be searched for again.
• Steam Link
  ARK must not be started, but Steam must be open. Now on the website, click on the respective link of the desired map at "Steam Connect" (answer "YES" to queries in the browser and Steam"). ARK will start and the connection to the server will be automatically established.
• In-Game
  Start Steam & ARK. Then in ARK, select "Join ARK" and search for "bukanier.org" or if you have been online before, choose the correct server under Favorites or "My Survivors" (make sure that "Mods" is set to "Hacking" at the bottom and there is no password set for "Password"). The internal ARK server browser is not 100% reliable and sometimes the above options are better.
