How do I add mods to my ARK server?

In this tutorial we add the S+ (Structures Plus) mod, but there are many other mods available.

1. Search for your mod on the internet.
2. Copy the mod ID. You find it in the page URL on steamcommunity.com. The S+ mod ID is 731604991.

3. Go to your control panel.
4. In the server list, click your ARK server.
5. Open the GameUserSettings.ini file.
6. If you don't have the ActiveMods= variable yet, add it under [ServerSettings].

7. Behind ActiveMods= add the mod ID followed by a comma ,.

8. Click the SAVE CONTENT button.
9. Start your server.

For several mods, separate each ID with a comma: ActiveMods=731604991,000000000.
