Server AdminARK: Survival Evolved Server Setup: SteamCMD, GameUserSettings.ini, Ports & RCON
How to stand up an ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server: installing the free app 376030 with SteamCMD (anonymous login works), the launch command and map ids, which of GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini each setting belongs in and the command-line override trap, the four ports and the multi-server query-port collision, enabling genuine Source RCON, installing Workshop mods with ActiveMods, and the crossplay/mods trade-off.

Server AdminARK: Survival Evolved RCON Commands: Server Admin Reference
ARK server admin over RCON: enable it with ServerAdminPassword, why you drop the admincheat prefix over RCON, list/kick/ban by Steam64 ID, broadcast and chat, save and shutdown, destroy wild dinos and set time - plus the SteamID-vs-PlayerID and one server-crashing command to avoid.
