When using this, you must NOT have installed mods via the workshop browser. When using this method, you must specify the mods in the command line, not the configuration file. This only applies to ARK: Survival Evolved. With a simple setup, you'l never need to worry about installing or keeping mods up-to-date ever again.
We have an automatic mod install and update system available for our ARK: Survival Evolved game servers. This method is still viable but does not detect mod updates whilst it is online or send notifications.
**We recommend you use the workshop browser method which succeeds this method, guidance on this is HERE.
