My ARK server is defaulting to 70 slots!

The following guide will help you troubleshoot why your service is defaulting to 70 slots.

If your server is changing from your current allocated slot count to 70 slots, there is a formatting issue present somewhere in your command line. You'll need to check your command line to ensure that there aren't any mistakes present in it.

Common issues

Having quotation marks present in one of your parameters.
If you have added quotation marks to one or more of your command line parameters this could be causing issues.
To resolve this, you'll want to look over your command line and make sure that you haven't added any quotation marks anywhere.

Improper use of the "Mods + TotalConversion" command line.
Not all mods are total conversion mods, so unless you are running a total conversion mod you'll want to be using the "Ark with Mods" command line instead.

Not all mods are supported for multiplayer or mod stacking (multiple mods).
Not all mods available are supported for multiplayer use, and not all mods support mod stacking (running multiple different mods).
If one or more of the mods you've added don't have support for these, you'll need to remove them from your server.

The mods you have added are outdated.
Mods that you have added to your server might be outdated upon release of new game updates which have caused major issues for server owners in the past, such as data loss and crashes.


Please note that technical support related to mods will be rather limited.
