Scorched Earth is ARK's first paid DLC featuring an extreme desert environment with sandstorms, heat waves, electrical storms, and unique survival challenges. It introduced Wyverns, rock climbing mechanics, wind turbines, and desert-specific creatures not found on other maps, creating a harsh but rewarding survival experience.

Scorched Earth servers work well with 20-50 players. We recommend 24-40 slots for balanced gameplay. The map's challenging environment and focused desert terrain make it ideal for tight-knit communities and competitive PvP, with resources concentrated in key areas.

Yes, Scorched Earth fully supports Steam Workshop mods. Structure mods, QOL improvements, and creature mods work seamlessly. However, mods affecting weather or environmental mechanics may conflict with Scorched Earth's unique storm systems. Always test mods before adding to live servers.

Scorched Earth introduces Wyverns (Fire, Lightning, Poison), Rock Elemental, Thorny Dragon, Jerboas, Morellatops, Mantis, Phoenix, Lymantria, and Vultures. These creatures have unique abilities suited to desert survival, with Wyverns being among the most powerful flyers in ARK.

Yes, Scorched Earth creatures can transfer through clustering. Wyverns and Rock Elementals are particularly valuable on other maps. Configure transfer restrictions via our control panel. Many players use Scorched Earth servers specifically to breed and transfer Wyverns to their main clusters.
