ARK On Demand
Anarchy can offer a much larger cluster without running every flexible map around the clock. Players keep access to their worlds while each machine stays healthy and responsive.
Built for the community.
More worlds to explore
Flexible map hosting gives the cluster room for more official and premium maps without sacrificing the four protected core worlds.
Better server performance
Idle maps do not need to consume memory and CPU forever. Capacity is tracked independently on Machine 1 and Machine 2.
Your survivor stays safe
Starting and stopping a map never moves, copies or edits survivor, inventory or tribe files. Normal world saves remain under ARK Server Manager.
No surprise shutdowns
Maps are never stopped merely because they become empty. A staff request begins a monitored safety process and cancels if a player joins.
From request to ready.
Choose a map
Discord autocomplete shows maps, their assigned machine and whether they are available, running or protected.
Capacity is reserved
The bot prevents two simultaneous requests from claiming the final slot and blocks duplicate processes during slow starts.
Watch live status
ARK loads the world and mods, then Crosschat reports its heartbeat to the live status page.
Control and rescue tools.

These four maps cannot be stopped through Discord. If one crashes, staff can still use the start command to recover it.
