Primitive Plus is an official total conversion mod that removes advanced technology (guns, electronics, tek) and replaces it with expanded primitive crafting including new building materials, advanced farming, specialized tools, and realistic survival mechanics. It offers a completely different ARK experience focused on medieval/primitive gameplay.

Primitive Plus servers support 20-50 players effectively. We recommend 16-32 slots for most communities. The slower-paced gameplay and primitive technology means resources spread more evenly, allowing comfortable player density even on smaller slot counts.

Primitive Plus has limited mod compatibility since it's a total conversion mod that replaces core game mechanics. Most standard mods will conflict with Primitive Plus. Only mods specifically designed for Primitive Plus compatibility should be used. Check mod descriptions carefully before installation.

Primitive Plus features all standard ARK creatures but removes access to advanced saddles, weapons, and equipment. It adds hundreds of new primitive items including adobe structures, brick buildings, advanced farming tools, specialty crops, primitive weapons, and realistic crafting materials not found in standard ARK.

No, Primitive Plus servers cannot cluster with standard ARK servers due to the total conversion differences. Characters and items are incompatible between game modes. Primitive Plus servers must cluster only with other Primitive Plus servers to maintain gameplay balance and mechanics.
