Easy Transferable Element
Moving valuable resources between servers in ARK: Survival Ascended has always been a headache. Official transfers come with restrictions, and many mods that promise a solution end up replacing the base Element item, breaking your existing setups. The Easy Transferable Element add-on solves this problem elegantly by adding two new consumables that work alongside the original Element, not instead of it. Whether you are migrating bases, helping a friend on another cluster, or just stocking up a secondary server, this mod gives you a clean, reliable way to carry your hard-earned Element with you.
What Does Easy Transferable Element Add?
This mod introduces two craftable items that are designed specifically for server-to-server transfers. The core idea is simple: you convert your Element into a transferable form, move it through the ARK upload system, and then consume it on the destination server to get your Element back. No data loss, no complicated workarounds, and no replacement of the vanilla item.
The Two Consumables
- Transferable Element: Crafted using 1 Element. When consumed, it returns exactly 1 Element. Perfect for small transfers or testing the system.
- Transferable Element Stack: Crafted using 100 Element. When consumed, it returns exactly 100 Element. Ideal for bulk moves or cluster-wide resource redistribution.
Both items are engrams that you can learn and craft at any suitable crafting station. The mod does not touch the original Element item, so all your existing recipes, structures, and tames that require Element will continue to work without any conflicts.
Why This Mod Stands Out
Many similar mods on the Steam Workshop replace the base Element item with a custom version. That approach often causes problems: existing stacks become invalid, recipes break, and you might lose access to certain content. The Easy Transferable Element for ARK: Survival Ascended avoids all of that by keeping the vanilla Element untouched. You simply craft the new consumables when you need them, and you can still use regular Element for everything else.
Another advantage is the straightforward conversion rate. You get back exactly what you put in, with no lossy conversion or hidden fees. This makes it easy to plan your transfers and ensures that your resources are never wasted.
How to Install the Mod
Installing this add-on is a straightforward process, whether you are playing on a dedicated server or a single-player world. Here is a quick guide on how to install it:
- Subscribe to the mod on the Steam Workshop for Easy Transferable Element for ARK: Survival Ascended.
- If you are running a dedicated server, add the mod ID to your server's mod list in the GameUserSettings.ini file.
- Restart your server or game client to let the mod load.
- Once loaded, learn the engrams from the appropriate level and craft the consumables at a crafting station.

Compatibility and Supported Versions
The mod is designed to work with the current builds of ARK: Survival Ascended, and it has been tested across various server configurations. It does not require any additional dependencies, and it plays nicely with other popular mods that do not alter the base Element item. If you are running a cluster, the mod works seamlessly with the standard ARK transfer system, so you can move your consumables between servers just like any other item.
It is always a good idea to check the mod's workshop page for the latest updates, as the developer, Valyria Ascended, regularly patches the mod to ensure compatibility with new game versions. The mod's item IDs are clearly listed, making it easy for server admins to grant the engrams or items via console commands if needed.
Practical Use Cases
The Easy Transferable Element mod is a lifesaver in several common scenarios. If you are moving your main base to a new server, you can convert your entire Element stockpile into Transferable Element Stacks and move it in one trip. If you are playing on a cluster with friends, you can share resources without needing to grind Element on every single server. And if you are an admin, you can use the mod to distribute Element to players who need it, without having to spawn items directly.
For those who want to keep their mod list lean, this add-on is a lightweight solution that does exactly one thing and does it well. It does not add new creatures, structures, or game mechanics, so it will not clutter your gameplay or cause performance issues.
