RNMFreeTeleportation
Few things in ARK: Survival Ascended are as frustrating as grinding for a Tek Generator just to power a single teleporter. You have the resources, you have the location, but the generator requirement feels like a gatekeeper. That is exactly the problem that RNMFreeTeleportation solves. This clever add-on removes the Tek Generator dependency from every teleporter variant, letting you place and use these advanced structures with zero power infrastructure. Whether you are a solo player on a quiet server or an admin running a busy cluster, this mod streamlines one of the most useful travel mechanics in the game.
What Does RNMFreeTeleportation Actually Do?
At its core, RNMFreeTeleportation for ARK: Survival Ascended introduces three new teleporter variants that mirror the standard Tek Teleporter, Tek Teleporter Small, and Tek Teleporter Mini. The only difference? They do not require a Tek Generator to function. You place them, you power them through the mod's own logic, and you teleport. No cables, no generator placement, no fuel management. It is a quality-of-life overhaul that removes a significant bottleneck from mid-to-late game base building.
The mod was originally created for RNGameservers, a community-focused server network, but it has since become a popular utility for anyone who wants faster travel without the usual Tek tier prerequisites. The blueprint spawn codes are included in the mod's description, making it easy for server admins to grant access or for single-player users to spawn the structures directly.
All Three Teleporter Variants Included
You get the full range of teleporter sizes, each with the same no-generator benefit:
- Standard RNM Tek Teleporter: The full-size unit, perfect for large bases or public travel hubs.
- RNM Tek Teleporter Small: A compact option for tight spaces or secondary bases.
- RNM Tek Teleporter Mini: The smallest footprint, ideal for hidden outposts or quick personal jumps.
Each variant uses the same visual model and animations as the original Tek Teleporters, so you will not notice any visual downgrade. The only change is the removal of the generator requirement, which is exactly what most players want.
How to Install and Spawn the Teleporters
Getting started is straightforward. If you are playing on a dedicated server, you or your admin will need to add the mod to the server's active mod list. For single-player, simply subscribe to the mod through the in-game mod browser. To help you with the process, here is a quick breakdown of how to install RNMFreeTeleportation:
- Open the ARK: Survival Ascended main menu and navigate to the Mods section.
- Search for "RNMFreeTeleportation" and subscribe to the mod.
- If you are on a server, ensure the mod ID is added to your server's mod whitelist.
- Launch the game and wait for the mod to download and load.
- Once in-game, use the admin console to spawn the teleporter of your choice.
For those who prefer direct spawning, the blueprint codes are simple to use. Open the admin command bar and type the appropriate cheat giveitem command for the standard, small, or mini teleporter. The codes are listed in the mod's official description, so you can copy them exactly. No need to memorize anything.
If you are looking for a smoother installation experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for RNMFreeTeleportation, pulling the latest version directly from the mod repository and placing it into your ARK directory without manual file edits. This is particularly useful for players who are not comfortable navigating Steam Workshop folders or server configuration files. The launcher also checks for version compatibility, so you will not accidentally load an outdated mod build that conflicts with the current game patch.
Version Compatibility and Mod Conflicts
ARK: Survival Ascended receives frequent updates, and mods can break when a new patch drops. The good news is that RNMFreeTeleportation is built to be lightweight and minimally invasive. It does not modify core game files, which reduces the risk of conflicts with other popular mods like stack size overhauls, QoL improvements, or building mods. The mod targets only the teleporter structures, so it is unlikely to interfere with your existing setup.
As of the latest updates, the mod supports the current stable build of ARK: Survival Ascended. The author has been diligent about updating the mod when necessary, but you should always check the mod page for the latest patch notes before updating your game client. If you are running a modded server, make sure that all clients have the same mod version to avoid desync issues.
Why You Should Use This Mod
There are plenty of reasons to give this mod a try, even if you already have Tek Generators unlocked. For one, it saves you the hassle of routing cables through your base. Generators take up space, require a steady supply of element, and are a common point of failure in a power grid. With RNMFreeTeleportation, you can place a teleporter on a cliff edge, on a raft, or in a cave without worrying about power lines.
Another advantage is the reduced resource cost. While the teleporter itself still requires standard Tek materials to craft, you save the significant cost of a Tek Generator. This makes teleporters accessible much earlier in the game, which is a game-changer for progression-focused players.
Finally, the mod is simply more convenient. If you have ever died on the other side of the map and needed to get back to your base quickly, you know the value of a functional teleporter network. This mod ensures that your network is always ready, no matter what.
Final Thoughts
If you are tired of the Tek Generator tax and just want to teleport, download RNMFreeTeleportation today. It is a small mod with a big impact, and it fits perfectly into both casual and hardcore playthroughs. The blueprint codes are easy to use, the installation is simple, and the mod's compatibility with current ARK: Survival Ascended versions is solid. Whether you are building a mega-base or just want a quick way home, this add-on delivers exactly what it promises: free teleportation, no strings attached.
Give it a shot on your next playthrough. You will wonder how you ever managed without it.
