Vanilla ends here
Every mod here is hand-picked and crossplay-tested — this is what makes the cluster feel different from vanilla and from every copy-paste server out there. The game downloads them automatically when you join; console players get everything too.

A world you won’t find anywhere else
We don’t just run the maps — we build on them.
ZUZ Maps Extension
by Cezoq · running on our official mapsThis is the mod that makes our official maps different from everyone else’s — new caves to explore or move into, bosses that come back every hour, and loot worth leaving base for. Mini-bosses respawn every hour and new resource spots refresh every 1–2 hours, so there’s always a reason to go back. All shot in-game — more on the home page wall. Map by map:

The Center
5 new caves · underwater bossFive brand-new caves. Beat the Megalodon in its underwater arena and new Tek engrams are yours. A mini-boss with a trophy, a giant oyster full of silica pearls, and you can even build on the Border Sea ocean floor.

Scorched Earth
Tek cave · Giga bossScorched finally gets its own Tek cave. Two new caves with mini-bosses, a Giga boss waiting deep in the Insect Cave, and silica pearls at every obelisk — no more off-map pearl runs.

The Island
2 new caves · new resourcesTwo new cave systems on the map you thought you’d mastered, plus a mini-boss of its own. The snow biome now has black pearls and polymer — worth braving the cold.

Aberration
Patched · no mesh raidsFixes, not flash: the classic rat holes and mesh holes are patched shut. Nobody raids you from inside a rock here.

ARK Maker Coming Q3 2026
Build whole worlds, right inside the gameThis is the big one. With ARK Maker we build whole maps from inside the game — shaping the land, digging out new caves, deciding where the creatures live and setting our own rules. Then we load it straight onto the SurviveX servers for you to explore. Real maps, built by us, that you won’t find on any other server. It arrives in the next few weeks, and it’s the biggest thing we’ve ever built.

ASA Server API
Open source · the foundationThe engine under everything on this list. This open-source framework is what lets a server run custom systems at all — the shop, the quests, the raid protection all stand on it.
ASA Api Utils
by pelayoriThe plumbing that makes the custom interfaces above possible. You’ll never notice it — that’s the point.
