I've started a new ARK server. I've added many mods this time around. By far the most amazing MAP mod i've seen is this one called "The Center". Check out video on it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOyH0AZUxoc I think its actually way better than the original The Island. It's going to be launched on some Official Servers too. In addition the other major MOD is called Annunaki Genesis. It drastically adds to the difficulty factor and if you are looking for a real challenge this is for you. You can catch and tame dinos up to level 540 including several new "elite" and Alpha dinos. There are "Prime Alpha" dinos that are not tamable but everything else is.

Full Mod list here, I'd subscribe to this list before attempting to join as its over 10gb of mods.
