Arkon

Arkon is a Discord bot that connects to your ARK: Survival Evolved (ASE) and ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) game servers. From Discord you can run server commands, show live player counts, relay chat, run an in-game shop and keep cheaters out. It is used in 1,100+ Discord servers.

Free to start. Premium is $10 a month after a 3-day free trial.

Arkon works with any ASE or ASA server that has RCON turned on. The one exception: ASE servers hosted on Nitrado are not supported.

Get running in 3 steps

1. Invite Arkon and set your Admin and Mod roles.
2. Turn on RCON on your game server. RCON is the remote-control connection Arkon uses to talk to it. Type +rconhelp for help with your host.
3. Run /setup to connect your server. It tests the connection on the spot and tells you what to fix if it fails.

Then type +checklist to see what else you can turn on.

What Arkon does

• Chat relay. Game chat shows up in Discord, and Discord replies go back into the game. Optionally, chat from one map is sent to every other map in your cluster.
• Live status channel. A message that updates itself with every server's player count, plus population graphs.
• In-game commands. Players type in game chat for kits, payday rewards, an "I'm stuck" care package, and votes for day, night, dino wipes and cleanups.
• Item shop and lootboxes. Players spend your server's currency on items that are sent straight into the game. No admin has to hand anything out.
• Player stats and leaderboards. Players link their Discord account to their character with +register and get stat cards and rankings.
• Logs. Kill feed, join and leave logs, tribe logs, and "who was online" lookups.
• Moderation. Bans and temp bans, ban sync across all your servers, a watchlist, and tribe warnings and notes.
• Server control. Run any RCON command from Discord, put commands on a schedule, and restart with a countdown.
• Security. Catches players logged into two maps at once to copy items, bans anyone who runs admin commands with a leaked admin password, and blocks banned character names.
• Map tools and anti-cheat (with the free ArkView plugin). Find wild dinos, lost tames and structures, draw heatmaps, and catch tame dupes, mass breeding and foreign tames.
• Xbox and Microsoft Store tools (ASE). Host gamertag friend management, auto-friend, alt account detection and Xbox messages.
• Community extras. Your own server currency, minigames (casino, fishing, trivia and more), XP levels with role rewards, support tickets, an idea board and a crafting cost lookup.
