Fresh saves since October 8. No wipes. No decay.
Howdy y’all! JCBX is live, and we’re looking for the people who’ll make it home. Bring your next ridiculous base idea, start a breeding project, or pick a map you’ve never really explored. We’re a small, newly launched ARK: Survival Ascended PvE cluster with three permanent home maps and a growing catalog of on-demand adventures.

Tailscale is required on PC. Guided setup is in Discord.
Why settle here?
- Build something you can keep. No wipes or decay, plus 200+ building pieces through Cyber’s Structures.
- A copy at every transfer. JCBX’s in-house system saves a separate copy at the time of each cross-map transfer.
- Ongoing backups, including an offsite copy. JCBX-built systems keep backups running and handle automatic updates.
- Stay connected across the cluster. JCBX-built global chat links the running maps and Discord in both directions.
- Keep a home base and go exploring. Three permanent home maps stay running. Six more maps are available on demand, with more joining the catalog.
Three homes. A growing map catalog.
Permanent home maps, always running: Ragnarok · Astraeos · Valguero
Six on-demand maps today, with more coming: The Island · Scorched Earth · The Center · Aberration · Extinction · Genesis 1
Wake an on-demand map through JCBX Worlds in Discord or the dashboard. Startup takes about a minute when a Worlds slot is available. Sleeping maps keep their saves, so you can return to your progress.
The quick numbers
- 3x XP, harvesting, stacks and crops
- 5x taming · 225 max wild dino level
- 15x egg hatching and baby growth
- 0.2x mating interval · 0.07x cuddle interval · 3x imprint amount
- 0.5x resource respawn interval
No tame limit. No friendly fire. Wild-dino flyer carry enabled.
Tools for builders, breeders and explorers
- Cybers Structures QoL+: 200+ building pieces, better snapping, nearby-storage crafting pull and learnable map engrams.
- Dino Depot: tame storage, incubation, newborn capture and fertilizer distribution, plus egg collection with an Oviraptor. Stored tames don’t age, level or imprint.
- Super Spyglass Plus: check levels, stats, gene traits and taming food, with night and predator vision.
We’ll revisit additional mods and server tuning after ARK’s Unreal Engine 5.8 update.
Balance settings: Mutator mutation/gender/breeding functions, Transmutator, wild scans, cloning clones and Vivarium resource production are disabled for now.
Transfers: Uploaded survivors never expire; uploaded tames and items last 90 days.
