Arkthology is an ASA cluster tuned for people with day jobs: 5× rates so progress fits an evening, and Offline Raid Protection so it's still there in the morning.
The core maps never wipe — your base, tames and progress are permanent. Every so often a boosted expedition map spawns alongside the cluster for a limited season: higher rates, unclaimed land, and loot to haul home before it closes.
Structures and tames harden when your tribe logs off. Wars are fought against people, not against empty bases at 4 a.m.
Survivors, items and dinos move freely between maps with zero transfer cooldown. Uploads keep for six full days — no losing a tame to a timer.
Game patches are detected automatically and announced in-game for a full 30 minutes before any reboot. World saves first, always.
Well above vanilla. Breed lines, keep the army, don't play inventory tetris with your dinos.
Blueprints and gear clamp to official ceilings — 298% weapon damage, official armor and saddle caps. Boosted rates, not boosted power — the loot economy stays intact.
Tames over level 450 are cleared on restart, exactly like official. Keeps stat-stacked and exploited dinos off the cluster.
Anyone in your tribe can cuddle and imprint your babies. Raise lines as a team — no single owner chained to the maturation clock.
No spawned gear, no pay-to-win, no favorites. Reports handled with our Ticket System, cheaters removed, logs kept.
NVMe-backed dedicated machine, monitored around the clock, with scheduled maintenance restarts to keep tick rates honest.
Eggs incubate inside terminals at the full 5× server rate, gachas keep producing while stored, and terminals auto-transfer resources straight into dedicated storage.
Send your tames farming without a rider — an Anky chews through metal while you build. Harvesting keeps pace even when you play alone.
Grind element down in a Megalab (1 → 200 dust), haul it anywhere in the cluster, reforge it at 400 dust per element. Half survives the crossing — boss loot travels, but it pays a toll.
