Coco's Fed Suits (Fixed)
If you have spent any time grinding through the late-game content of ARK, you know that the Exo Suit is one of the most iconic pieces of technology in the franchise. However, bringing that experience to ARK: Survival Ascended has been a bumpy road for many modders. That is where Coco's Fed Suits (Fixed) steps in. This mod is a clean re-import from the original ASE version, specifically rebuilt to function properly in the Unreal Engine 5 environment of ASA. It delivers the full Exo Suit experience without the frustrating bugs or missing assets that plagued earlier ports.
Whether you are a solo survivor or running a dedicated server with friends, this mod offers two distinct armor tiers. You get the Full Exo Suit 0 Armor variant, which is perfect for those who want the aesthetic without altering the game's balance, and the Full Exo Suit 20 Armor variant for survivors who need that extra layer of protection against the island's apex predators. Both sets include all five pieces: boots, gloves, helmet, pants, and shirt, ensuring you look the part from head to toe.
What Makes This Version "Fixed"?
The original release of this mod on ASA had several issues, primarily related to engram entries and blueprint paths not aligning with the new game's code. Coco's Fed Suits (Fixed) for ARK: Survival Ascended addresses these problems head-on. Every engram entry has been meticulously checked and corrected. You will find all ten engrams available in your crafting menu, from EngramEntry_FedBoots_0Armor all the way to EngramEntry_FedShirt_20Armor.
Furthermore, the blueprint paths have been updated to match the ASA structure. For instance, the boots are located at Blueprint'/FedArmor/FedSuit/0_Armor/PrimalItemArmor_FedBoots_Gen2_0Armor.PrimalItemArmor_FedBoots_Gen2_0Armor'. This means server admins can easily grant items via console commands or use them in custom loot tables without any guesswork. The mod is stable, lightweight, and does not conflict with other popular QoL mods.
Supported Versions and Compatibility
Currently, Coco's Fed Suits (Fixed) is designed for the latest stable builds of ARK: Survival Ascended. The mod does not rely on any external dependencies, making it a plug-and-play addition to your mod list. It works seamlessly with stack size mods, QoL+ enhancements, and even creature rebalancing mods. Because it is a re-import, it does not touch core game files, reducing the risk of save corruption.
If you are using a mod manager, you will appreciate that this mod is compatible with both single-player and dedicated server setups. Just ensure your server is updated to the current ASA version to avoid any mismatch errors. The mod's author is active in the community, and the Discord link provided in the original description is the best place to report any issues or request future updates.
How to Install the Mod
Learning how to install this mod is straightforward. First, head over to the Steam Workshop or your preferred mod repository and download Coco's Fed Suits (Fixed). Once downloaded, it will automatically be added to your ARK: Survival Ascended mod list. If you are on a dedicated server, you will need to add the mod ID to your server's GameUserSettings.ini file under the [ServerSettings] section.
For single-player, simply activate the mod in the main menu before loading your save. After activation, you will need to learn the engrams. If you are on a fresh character, you can use the admin command GiveEngrams to unlock all of them instantly. Alternatively, you can spawn the items directly using the blueprint paths mentioned earlier.
One of the easiest ways to manage this mod is through the foxygame.net launcher. This launcher offers a one-click install feature for Coco's Fed Suits (Fixed), ensuring that you always have the latest version without manually tracking updates. The launcher's add-on catalog automatically detects compatible versions for your ASA installation, eliminating the guesswork.
Visuals and Performance
The Exo Suit in ASA looks stunning. The metallic textures, glowing accents, and the distinct Gen2 aesthetic are faithfully preserved. The 0 armor variant is essentially a cosmetic skin, meaning it weighs the same as cloth but offers zero damage reduction. The 20 armor variant, on the other hand, provides a solid defensive boost, making it a viable mid-game armor set that does not overshadow Tek gear.
Performance-wise, the mod is optimized. There are no additional particle effects or physics simulations that could cause frame drops. Even on lower-end systems, you can wear the full suit without noticing any significant performance hit. This is a testament to the clean re-import process.
Final Thoughts
In a sea of armor mods for ARK: Survival Ascended, Coco's Fed Suits (Fixed) stands out for its reliability and fidelity to the source material.

The auto-update feature in the foxygame.net launcher also keeps Coco's Fed Suits (Fixed) in sync with your server's mod list, so your players never face version mismatch errors. It is a small addition that makes a big difference in quality of life. So, go ahead, suit up, and take on the ARK with style and protection.
