What are the general rules of our cluster?
ARK n' ART aims to keep things simple when it comes to our in-game server rules. Both common sense and good judgement are key to surviving in this space. That said, let's take a look at the unspoken basics to get an idea what we'll be expecting!
✅ NAMES & TRIBES
Always give your survivor and tribe a unique name, such as your user handle. Things among the lines of "123" and "Tribe of Human" are not acceptable and may warrant a reset or forced name change.
⛔ PLAYER VERSUS
Never raid or grief players. This includes destroying property, killing tames, and stealing gear. Kiting wild dinos to do it for you also applies, and all of these will result in a swift and permanent ban.
✅ CLAIMING SPOTS
Always claim a spot by putting down a base. Only one main base and up to two small outposts are allowed per map, but outposts cannot take up high-traffic building spots (such as the hidden lake).
⛔ BASE PROXIMITIES
Never build your base within render view of another base. Test your proximity by taming a parasaur and turning on turret mode. If you wish to be within render, ask the resident for permission.
✅ NATURAL SCENES
Always leave the wilderness devoid of clutter. Pick up or temporary bases after moving and remove traps after taming, or an admin will have to do so instead. Always keep public resources unlocked.
⛔ RICH RESOURCES
Never block valuable resource-rich areas with your structures, including bases. In a similar vein, the same applies to XP notes and caves. Ignoring this is cause for an admin to remove your structure.

❓ WHY IS THE DISCORD AND SERVERS 18+?
ARK n' ART is strictly 18+ for the comfort of all our members. Everyone here is an adult that wants to create and game with other adults. Many of us have jobs, families, and obligations outside of An'A.❓ HOW REGUARLY ACTIVE ARE THE SERVERS?
The server cluster currently has a small handful of regular members, and most survivors come and play at their own pace. There's never any pressure to participate in content, nor is there any decay.❓ HOW DO I GET THE CONTENT CREATOR ROLE?
To get the @Creator role in our Discord server, all you need to do is get in contact with the server manager, @CrystalDisc, and showcase your work! An'A welcomes creators of any subscriber count.
❓ CAN I ADVERTISE MY CREATIVE CONTENT?
Yes! There's a dedicated channel in our Discord server called 📺your-content, which is used for showcasing both independent work and ARK n' ART-related pieces, such as videos and livestreams.❓ CAN I RECORD MY VIDEOS ON THE CLUSTER?
Yes! All creators are welcome to use our survival cluster to record, whether it be for the long game or a short-term project. Need assistance? Ask our fellow survivors! Many would love to lend a hand.❓ CAN I POST NON-ARK RELATED PIECES?
Yes! While any and all ARK-centric works are encouraged, we always allow our creators to post what they've made so long as the piece was created by them and remains generally SFW.
