ClusterSync
Overview
What ClusterSync synchronizes and how it fits a cluster.
ClusterSync keeps tribe identity and tribe data aligned across the maps in an ARK: Survival Ascended cluster, so the cluster behaves as one environment.
What it keeps in sync
- Tribe identity — a character belongs to one tribe cluster-wide.
- Tribe membership.
- Full member lists — a tribe's whole roster appears on every map, not only on maps its members have logged into.
- Tribe member limits — correct on every map, so you cannot invite past the server's limit.
- Governance settings.
- Admin and owner status.
- Rank groups and their settings.
- Tribe logs.
- Tribe names.
- Chat — see Chat Synchronization.
What you need
- Two or more maps sharing a cluster.
- The plugin installed on every map you want synchronized.
- A MySQL database every map can reach.
A map without the plugin is not synchronized.
Not currently included
Alliance synchronization is not included. Alliance chat does relay across the cluster.
The Groups panel in the Tribe Manager is not synchronized.
