This is a very cool resource, thank you!

However there seems to be a catch:

Has this webpage been updated since patch 406.7 hit? (The resources got changed by that patch.)

I tried to find that out by selecting a random island from the link you gave (Mnt_I_ER). I placed this island on the map and explored in-game if it really has the resources stated on that webpage.

Turned out a lot of the resources are correctly given on the webpage (iridium for instance) but quite a few resources are different. On the webpage it says the only rock found on the island is limestone. In reality I found no limestone anywhere but there is marble and granite all over the place. Some other resources I did not find either. However the rocks are the most striking example as no one who has explored this island can conceivably have overlooked the marble and granite that is literally everywhere. But it is not mentioned on the webpage. To me that seems to indicate that this island was explored by somebody prior to 406.7, when it likely really had limestone, as stated on the webpage,  and no marble and granite. But then 406.7 hit and the resources changed. Which would unfortunately mean that the webpage is of limited use now.

Is that your impression too?

Sorry, late reply, it is constantly updated with new information, so as of your last writing I do believe another pass was done. There's still some oddities here and there most likely due to how resources are currently working in-game ('H' toggle shows you one thing and you actually gather something else) but it's the most accurate source so far still. The website developers are getting some communication from GS so it should improve more and more.

They changed the resources on the islands that are still there, so the old player-made lists aren't usable anymore. Not to mention that they removed a lot of islands completely, some of which had important resources, like Ironwood, Iridium, Bamboo and Diamonds.

I too am updating my map ofc. I have removed all structures and flags from the removed islands, then deleted those removed islands, map is clean now and still working. But now I have to put 6 of all types of resources back in. So here is my question to you:

Do you know which resources are on the islands? If so please tell me!! (if no then your claim that we have everything we need to get our severs ready again is - ah - grandstanding :P)

https://exploreatlas.co.uk/ will tell you where everything is with a fair amount of accuracy, I'd say about 90% or so accurate right now (it's missing Darkwood and Ironwood spawns as of this writing). Darkwood was found on Official but is not yet updated on the site. We're still going through and verifying that the data is correct and are reporting anything we find to the developer for that site. 

We've been running since a few hours after the patch went live. I was able to completely remake the map prior to the patch actually dropping, and didn't need to wait for any updated SGE to go live.

Please read my posts. I do NOT want their map.

I want them to come clean about the reasons for removing assets from the game and forcing unofficial servers to wipe - the game is full of unused assets, everything from ARK stuff, through to the islands they just 'added to the build' but have actually been present all along - it was done to force unofficials to wipe at the same time they are, and it's a massive douchebag move.

To then make a post directed specifically at 'Custom Servers' that talks about adding islands to a build they (understandably) cannot access, just rubs salt into the wound of being forced by them into this position.

Do you understand where I am coming from now? I re-iterate, I do NOT want their map, and I understand why they cannot release it.

The issue is that they used their new map - the one we cannot have, and for a good while if they want to remain safe on official - as a way of forcing unofficial to follow suit with a wipe when we are not going to be able to make use of anything they have done.

We had the last SGE very shortly after the last mega update and our server was up within hours. I'm already building a new map using the islands.json (to be sure I don't use removed assets). I probably won't be able to export it until the updated SGE is released but I can have it built. You have almost everything you need to get your server ready right now.

I don't want their new map - I wanted to continue running the server I have and am struggling to understand why us unofficial server owners would care what islands have been 'added to the build' if 'the build' isn't available anyway.

I also don't understand why they needed to be removed in the first place, outside of a strange wish to break unofficial servers with this update.

They just gave you the build. You can put that Islands.json in your Server Grid Editor Folder and create a map right now, or you can wait until the release the official json with everything they include for official gameplay, but they aren't going to give that out for people to start hosting before they launch it.

The islands listed as removed are no longer in the Islands.json Data, so the Server Grid Editor won't list them as available.

Also will the global coordinates change in such a way that performing the calculations for powerstone quests will be different or is this still based off of the original 15x15 setup?

Still around and no signs of slowing down! I've updated the mod list to include Total Structures and added some of our additional features like Cross Chat. 

Hate the frequent server wipes everyone is doing? Come join us where your progress is safe up to a total meltdown lol. We don't wipe unless catastrophic issues arise or the players take to the streets in protest!

Total Structures will be added soon. Right now the shop is having a "50% off everything" in celebration of us achieving a Level 2 Discord server (additional member benefits like improved voice quality)!

Edited mod links

Edited the topic line to reflect our current setup. We're still going strong with no signs of downsizing or stopping!

NPC Trade Ships and Ghost Ship added along with the Quests included in the mega update.

OVERVIEW

Supreme Gaming is a family of stable and long-standing Ark, Conan and now Atlas servers. Our goal is to provide a one-stop destination for players tired of searching for the right unofficial server. As players know, the unofficial scene is plagued by quick rise and death servers that disappear without a trace, admins that exhibit blatant corruption, pay-to-win donation incentives, frequent wipes and lack of player communities. Supreme Gaming seeks to get rid of all that and offer an accelerated and unique experience through boosted rates and QoL (quality of life) mods. We work hard to make sure that rules are enforced where absolutely necessary.

Our servers are built for the community. If you've ever wanted to know that your voice is heard in mods and settings suggestions, this is the place for you! We have a NO WIPE policy unless it's absolutely crucial for catastrophic failures, so your progress will continue for as long as possible.

Don't take our word for it, join our Discord server, ask around, and see for yourself. We have over 1200 members!

HARDWARE

• Dedicated Machine
• 20 processor cores
• 256GB RAM
• NVMe SSD

Unlike many other servers, we control all of our hardware and are not at the mercy of under-resourced shared hosting services. This allows for the optimal Atlas Experience providing a lag free running server.

EVENTS

We've had three successful events so far including a sunken ship treasure hunt where admins sunk a dozen or more ships across grids with a ton of loot and quality BPs and materials, a Sloop Death Race that ended up even more fun with a storm and a Schooner Showdown where companies were able to bring their best designed Schooners to have an all out sea battle! We try to have fun and engaging events that players can take part in. Have an idea? We'd love to hear it! Wanna host one with admin supported prizes? We will provide whatever is necessary to make your event a success.

SETTINGS

• 5x All Rates for PvE (10x Breeding)
• 10x All Rates for PvP with double flotsam quality (20x Breeding)
• Increased skill points per level gained in order to learn more of what the game has to offer (great for smaller groups/solo players)

MODS

• Custom Item Stacks
• SPUK Advanced Structures

SERVER IP'S

These are our home servers (spawn zones)

As Atlas evolves there will be several settings and configurations to fix, change and update. With this in mind please make sure you join our Discord server to you can be up-to-date with the most recent information and notified of server restarts and issues.

Happy sailing!

We've had several successful events now including a Sunken Ship treasure hunt, a Sloop Death Race and this weekend a Schooner Showdown!

This weekend will be another iteration of the Sloop Death Race and Schooner Showdown. These events are actually a player sponsored event that admins will support with prizes and rule enforcement. If you've ever had event ideas but wanted some incentive for players to participate in them, this is the perfect place for have your voice heard. Admins will do what's necessary (within reason) to make sure your event is fun and engaging for the community.

@demine0 Yes, in our Discord you can type !map to get the current map posted to you.
@mr.gibbs What happened?! We haven't wiped any characters but we do clean up claims that have gone negative if the player hasn't signed on in about 3 weeks.

Breeding rates have been doubled by popular demand. We'll be monitoring 10x maturation and breed rates for a while to see if we need to take any further action.

Sunken Ship event is coming to a close and it was awesome! We've got some highly requested settings we'll be looking to change in the near future regarding breeding.

We're having a treasure hunt event happening this weekend. Sunken ships will be scattered across the map and have very valuable treasure, resources, BPs and gear inside. Come get started while it's still going on and get a big boost!

@punishermatt Might have tried to join during an update. It is up and running. Generally speaking it's best to add the IPs to your favourites folder in steam so you can direct connect on your first join.

Added Custom stacks to the server

We've extended to 20 shards now. This is our 3rd addition as support has been coming through. We will continue to expand as long as we're able!

All powerstone content and Fountain of Youth is accessible. Moving forward there will be additional expansions on our shop and kits as well as website services.

Mods are coming out soon and we're taking suggestions from the community on what they'd like to see implemented. Of course, stacks are on everyone's top choice lists lol.

This sounds like a great server I am going to give it a try!

So the x 5 resources ruined this server for me just no sense of accomplishment with this setting....

Sorry to hear that. I'd recommend sticking to Vanilla settings if 5x is too high for you. The beneficial thing about 5x is when the inevitable patch drops where SotD decide to have rapid fire and destroy your Galleon you worked so hard on, you don't lose 100+ hours of work and can recover quickly. 

We are tailored to a more casual audience and smaller companies/solo players, but we have several 20-man+ companies that are really enjoying the rates as well. Take a trip out the the powerstone islands, I hear the cyclops have thrown brigs up on shore lol. 

Not sure when the last time you looked, but there is a ton of land available. We also implemented an in-game shop where you can use points you receive in-game (given per hour) to purchase items. As soon as the BP paths come out for everything (the list is limited atm) there will be more and more available to grab.

Edited title and information to show we've added 5 additional shards (totaling 14) and re-implemented the claim system in preparation for the upcoming change on Thursday 1/10.
