Elyndor Base Claim: Protect Your ARK Territory

Elyndor Base Claim

ARK: Survival Ascended players know the struggle: you spend hours building a fortress, only to find a random thatch shack planted inside your walls. Server admins face an even bigger headache trying to keep the map clean and balanced. Elyndor Base Claim solves both problems with a clever, flag-based territory system that automatically removes structures placed outside designated zones. It is a must-have mod for any serious server, whether you run a small community or a large public cluster.

What Does Elyndor Base Claim Do?

At its core, Elyndor Base Claim introduces physical flag items that players place on the ground to mark their territory. When a server starts up, a cleanup process scans the entire map. Any structure that sits outside the radius of an active flag is automatically destroyed. This keeps the world tidy, prevents griefing, and ensures that every player build stays within the intended boundaries. The mod is fully configurable, so you decide how strict the purge is and how large the protected zones become.

Flag Types and Protection Zones

The mod ships with four distinct flag tiers, each suited for different playstyles:

• Outpost Flags: Small radius (default 5000 units) for temporary bases, resource shacks, or forward operating points.
• Normal Flags: Medium radius (default 10000 units) for standard player bases.
• Large Flags: Big radius (default 20000 units) for tribes and mega-builds.
• Admin Flags: Maximum radius (up to 30000 units) reserved for server events, arenas, or official structures.

Each flag type has its own settings for damage prevention. You can make flags indestructible, protect the structures around them from raiding, or leave them vulnerable for hardcore PvP servers. The flexibility is impressive, and the config file is straightforward to edit.

Key Configuration Options

Server admins will appreciate the granular control. The [ElyndorBaseClaim] section in your ini file includes:

• FlagSizeOutpost, FlagSizeNormal, FlagSizeLarge, FlagSizeAdminMax: Adjust the radius of each flag tier.
• NoDamageOn*Flags: Toggle whether flags themselves take damage.
• SafeBase*Flags: Toggle whether structures inside the flag zone are protected from damage.
• TimeOutsideFlagsBeforeDestroySeconds: Set the grace period (default 432000 seconds, or 5 days) before stray structures are purged. The purge only runs on server reboots.
• DisableFlags: Instantly turn off the entire purge system if you need a break.
• DiscordWebhookUrl: Get notifications in your Discord channel when the purge removes structures.
• ItemsIgnoreDestruction: Provide a comma-separated list of item classes that the purge will skip. Note that if a foundation is destroyed, structures on top of it may still collapse.

This level of control means Elyndor Base Claim works for PvE, PvP, and roleplay servers alike. You can run a friendly cooperative server with safe zones everywhere, or a cutthroat PvP map where only flagged bases survive.

Admin Commands and Spawn Items

Getting started is easy. The mod adds engrams for each flag type, plus admin-only variants. If you want to test things out, use the following cheat commands:

• cheat giveitem "/ElyndorBaseClaim/Structures/Outpost/PrimalItem_ElyndorBaseClaim_Outpost.PrimalItem_ElyndorBaseClaim_Outpost" 1 0 0
• cheat giveitem "/ElyndorBaseClaim/Structures/Large/PrimalItem_ElyndorBaseClaim_Large.PrimalItem_ElyndorBaseClaim_Large" 1 0 0
• cheat giveitem "/ElyndorBaseClaim/Structures/Admin/PrimalItem_ElyndorBaseClaim_Admin.PrimalItem_ElyndorBaseClaim_Admin" 1 0 0
• cheat giveitem "/ElyndorBaseClaim/Structures/Normal/PrimalItem_ElyndorBaseClaim_Normal.PrimalItem_ElyndorBaseClaim_Normal" 1 0 0

For most players, the easiest path is to download Elyndor Base Claim from the mod manager and let the engrams appear naturally in your tech tree.

Compatibility and Known Issues

Elyndor Base Claim is built for ARK: Survival Ascended and works with the current major game versions, including the latest patches and most map packs. It is a lightweight mod with no heavy dependencies, so it plays well alongside other popular additions like stack mods, QoL improvements, and dino overhauls.

There is one minor incompatibility to note: Dino Depot. If you use that mod, you will be unable to release dinos from its pods while inside a claim field. The workaround is simple: the Dino Depot server settings include an option to disable release checks for structure overlap. Turn that on, and everything works smoothly.

When you are ready to set up your server, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Elyndor Base Claim, letting you skip the manual file shuffling and jump straight into configuring your flags. The launcher also keeps the add-on catalog updated, so you will always see the latest version compatibility before you hit the deploy button.

Why Use Elyndor Base Claim?

The biggest advantage is the automatic cleanup. Without it, abandoned bases litter the map, causing lag and ruining the view. With Elyndor Base Claim, you never have to manually hunt down and demolish old structures. The mod also promotes fair play. Players know that if they build outside a flag, their work will vanish on the next restart. This encourages organized base planning and prevents sneaky foundation spam near enemy territories.

For server owners, the Discord webhook integration is a godsend. You get a log of everything the purge removes, so you can spot problem players or accidental builds. The ItemsIgnoreDestruction list gives you a safety net for critical structures like teleporters or resource nodes.
