Welcome to the best No-Wipe PVP Experience on ARK
SquirtleArk is a Steam PVP cluster that does not wipe. The best part of our no-wipe experience is you can join and have a balanced start regardless of when you join through our starter PVE protection, kits, in-game shop, completely modded maps with hundreds of added locations, quality-of-life improvements, boosted rates, structure limits, and so much more! Our goal is to create a fine balance between old and new players, something that is lacking in official ARK PVP.
Joining SquirtleArk

Starting off
Start by familiarizing yourself with all of our chat commands. These commands are typed in the in-game chat and WILL make your life easier! View all of our chat commands here
For information on tribe limits, turret limits, disabled dinosaurs, and much more view our server settings here
Now educate yourself on our rules to avoid issues and punishments. You can view our server rules here
You can also link your tribes tribe logs with your tribes discord channel by typing /tlr "your discord webhook here" in-game chat.
When transferring maps in the cluster it may take a moment for your survivor to download. Please hit "Download Survivor" after a minute or so and your survivor will show up. This is due to SquirtleArk being held on multiple machines to promote stability.
Now that you are on the ARK you can start by using the starter kits. Press F2 to open the Squirtle Shop. There are three kits available for you to use right away:
Starter kit: This kit contains a Pteranodon with a saddle to help you fly and scout the maps, some resources, and a set of armor.
Starter Base kit: This kit should be used once you've found a spot to build in as you get settled. This kit contains some crafting tables, forges, and metal structures to form your base.
Taming kit: This kit contains a longneck rifle, tranquilizer darts, and some raw mutton to help you begin taming some creatures.
You get two of each kit, and kits can be re-purchased from the in-game shop (F2 to open shop)
Starter Protection & Offline Raid Protection
Starter Protection: SquirtleArk PVP gives all new players 12 days of full PVE structure protection. You can check your timer by typing /pve in-game chat. To activate your PVE protection you need to have an Offline Raid Protection set as the PVE protection only applies in the radius of your ORP. To set your ORP, stand in your base and type /setorp "name" in-game chat.
Don't forget Starter PVE Protection can be disabled if someone joins your tribe who is not under PVE Protection or a tribe mate types /pvp
Offline Raid Protection: SquirtleArk PVP has a unique offline raid protection system that helps your base defenses while your tribe is offline. Offline Raid Protection makes your structures and dinosaurs 60% resistant to damage and makes your turrets do 2.5x damage to players and dinosaurs. You can still get raided offline but our protection makes it quite a bit more difficult. Offline raid protection is automatically removed after three days of not logging on to the map. Offline raid protection takes 15 minutes to kick in once you log off, if you log off while under PVP cooldown it can take up to 3 hours to kick in. As stated above you can set your ORP by typing /setorp "name" in-game chat.
