ASMO Sacrifice
Every tribe eventually faces the same awkward problem: what do you do with a pen full of tames you no longer need? You could release them into the wild, let them starve, or feed them to a hungry Giga. ASMO Sacrifice offers a far more elegant answer. This add-on introduces the ASMO Altar to ARK: Survival Ascended, letting you offer selected tamed creatures in exchange for ASMO Coins, with payouts scaled to both the species and its level.
What Is ASMO Sacrifice?
ASMO Sacrifice is a creature-to-currency mod built around a single structure: the ASMO Altar. Instead of simply deleting unwanted dinos, you bring them to the altar, review the sacrifice information, and confirm the offering. In return, you receive ASMO Coins based on what you gave up. It is a clean, deliberate system that rewards planning rather than hoarding.
The mod is designed to work with current builds of ARK: Survival Ascended, and it plays nicely alongside most other add-ons since it only adds a new structure and a coin economy rather than overwriting vanilla content. If you run a heavily modded cluster, ASMO Sacrifice should slot in without conflicts.
How the Sacrifice System Works
The loop is refreshingly simple, which is part of its charm. You do not need to learn a complicated tech tree or grind obscure resources.
- Bring a supported tame to the ASMO Altar.
- Check its sacrifice information and preview the reward.
- Confirm the sacrifice to receive your ASMO Coins.
One important warning: the sacrificed creature is consumed. There is no undo button, no resurrection, and no refund. Choose carefully before you commit, because that level 200 Rex is not coming back once the altar accepts it.
Supported Creatures and Reward Scaling
The roster covers a healthy spread of creatures, from disposable early-game tames to apex predators. Higher-tier species and higher-level individuals yield more ASMO Coins, so a Giganotosaurus is worth far more than a Dodo.
Supported creatures include Rex, Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Spinosaurus, Yutyrannus, Argentavis, Allosaurus, Thylacoleo, Megatherium, Baryonyx, Dire Bear, Raptor, Trike, Stego, Parasaur, Pteranodon, and Dodo.
That mix is smart design. Early on, you can sacrifice surplus Dodos, Parasaurs, and Pteranodons for a steady trickle of coins. Later, when your breeding lines produce extra Rexes or a spare Giga, the altar becomes a serious income source. The foxygame.net launcher makes this even easier, since ASMO Sacrifice appears in its add-on catalog and installs with a single click, no manual file shuffling required.
How to Install ASMO Sacrifice for ARK: Survival Ascended
Single-Player and Local Worlds
To download ASMO Sacrifice, grab the mod through the in-game mod browser or your preferred mod platform, then activate it before loading your world. Once enabled, spawn an ASMO Altar using the admin command below and place it near your base.
Servers and Clusters
On dedicated servers, add the mod to your active mod list and restart. Players will download it automatically on connect. Keep in mind that the altar requires administrator permissions if you want to spawn it manually rather than crafting it.
Admin spawn command:
cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/ASMO_Sacrifice/ASMO_Sacrifice_Content/ASMO_Sacrifice/Structures/PrimalItemStructure_ASMO_Sacrifice.PrimalItemStructure_ASMO_Sacrifice'" 1 0 0
This command grants one ASMO Altar item and only works for server admins or players with equivalent permissions.
A First Release With Room to Grow
ASMO Sacrifice is the creator's first mod, and it shows the kind of focused design that comes from a clear idea rather than feature bloat. More creatures, additional features, and quality-of-life improvements are planned for future updates. Feedback and bug reports genuinely shape where the mod goes next, so if something feels off or you want a specific dino added to the list, speak up.
Final Thoughts
ASMO Sacrifice solves a real problem in ARK: Survival Ascended. It gives your spare tames a purpose and converts clutter into a usable currency, all through one straightforward structure. Whether you are cleaning out a breeding pen or turning a rival's abandoned Rex into coins, the ASMO Altar turns waste into value. Bring a tame, check the reward, and make the trade. Just remember that every sacrifice has its reward, and every reward has its cost.
