ControlARK Get a bot on Discord

Everything the bot does

Set up in the ControlARK app, carried out in game by your bot. Players never need to install anything.

Kits

Players claim kits you build with /kit <name>. A kit can hold items, dinos, or both.

  • Items with quantity, stack size and quality, picked from the full item list.
  • Dinos delivered in cryopods, with level, colours and breeding pairs.
  • A cost in points, free claims first, cooldowns, and limits per player, per tribe or in total.
  • Opening dates and hours, starter kits for new players, and a minimum playtime.
  • Each kit can be on some servers and not others.
Example

Dodo Bandit /kit

ControlARK Kits: starter, builder, breeder. Type /kit <name> to claim one.

Chat commands

Small things your players would otherwise ask an admin for, answered straight away.

  • /tp to places you name on each map.
  • /cryopod, /mindwipe and /suicide for when a player is stuck.
  • /color to recolour a dino and /imprint for babies.
  • Turn each on or off, and set costs and cooldowns.
  • Every command lands in your request log, so you can see who used what.

Points and playtime

A wallet for every player, kept by their Xbox account, shared across all your servers.

  • Points for time online, counted while a bot is on that server.
  • Name the currency yourself: Gems, Shells, anything.
  • /pay between players, and leaderboards in game and posted to Discord.
  • Wipe management: clear data for a new wipe, with each past season kept.
Example

Moss Hunter /top

ControlARK Top points: 1. Rexy Rider 5,410, 2. Dodo Bandit 3,980, 3. Kelp 2,115. You're #4 with 1,240.

Events

Things for your community to do, run by the bot in game.

  • Scavenger hunts: on a schedule the bot hides loot in a storage box or a buried Purlovia, and Discord is told roughly where.
  • Giveaways that players join with /enter. One player still online wins, straight into their inventory.
  • Loot pools: the prizes for hunts and giveaways, picked at random by the weights you set.
  • Point boosts for a weekend or an evening, announced in game and on Discord.

Discord trackers

The bot sees things in game and posts them to your Discord channels.

  • Orbital supply drops on Extinction, with colour and coordinates. Choose which crates to post.
  • Ragnarok boss timers: when the Lava Golem and the Ice Queen can be fought again.
Example

ControlARK Red orbital supply drop at 73.4, 57.1.

Moderation

Keeps chat and names clean while you're not online.

  • A word filter for chat with strikes: a warning in chat, then a kick, then a ban, at the counts you choose.
  • It catches the usual dodges too: spaces, dots, 0 for o, repeated letters.
  • A name filter that renames players whose names you don't allow.
  • Every action is logged with the message that caused it, and can be posted to Discord.
  • It only acts on the rules you set, and you can unban anyone it catches by mistake, in game or through the API.

Cross-chat

Lets players on all your servers talk to each other.

  • Chat on one server is said on the others, with the server it came from.
  • Optionally posted to a Discord channel too.

Your team

You own the account. Add your admins as users.

  • Choose which pages each user can open and which servers they can see.
  • A list of every sign-in, with an alert when someone signs in from a new device.
  • A log of changes: who changed what, and when.

API

For your own Discord bot, website or tools.

  • Keys with only the access you give them.
  • Read players, tribes, points and servers.
  • Give items, dinos and kits, and move points.
  • Webhooks when a player joins, chats or a delivery finishes.
