You will need a windows PC / Dedicated Server / VPS / VDS with a minimum of 22GB ram (preferably 25GB so you can build some bases & have a few players)

The tool (Ark Survival Ascended Server Creation tool) will grab the ASA server files and place them into C:\ark_sa along with a start_server.bat & an update_server.bat
The tool (Ark Survival Ascended Server Creation tool) will ask you for a few bits of information like steam account details, servername, server password and so on to create the server start file then go on to start the server for you. These details are only used in the script on the machine you use them on so you don't need to worry about using your details.

How to use the tool (Ark Survival Ascended Server Creation tool)

Download the tool to the machine you want to host the server on, does not matter where you download it to or run it from
Right click the Ark_Server_Creation_Tool file and select run as administrator follow the prompts
If you are using a home pc you will need to open the ports 7777, 7778, 27015 on your router (If you do not know how to do this you will need to google "How to port forward on [insert router brand and model here]"
We open the required ports as part of the installer in your firewall if you are using windows firewall, if you are not using windows firewall you will need to do this manually
