Automated Ark

Automated Ark is made to take some of the more mundane tasks in Ark and make them enjoyable so you can jump straight into the fun stuff. Automated Ark will not play the game for you, like some mods, but rather make the game more fun for you.

Automated Ark

Welcome to the new Automated Ark! This lightweight, vanilla-themed mod is designed for players who prioritize function over form, featuring almost no custom models or textures. Bringing back everything you loved from Automated Ark in Ark Survival Evolved—Auto Pulling, OCD Storage, Egg Management, and more—now optimized for Ark Survival Ascended.
