OVER 295 LOOT DROPS AND COUNTING

Beacon knows them all, so you can get going quicker

Normal drops, cave crates, boss loot, beaver dams… whatever you want to change.
Plus support for custom loot drops, such as those provided by mod maps or not
officially supported by Ark. Plus, Beacon has support for an additional 602
unofficial loot drops, such as the Orbital Supply Drop events and creature
inventories.


NO NEED TO START FROM SCRATCH

Unless you want to, that's cool too

Beacon has a library of community-maintained documents, both in-app and on the
web, ready to be deployed to your own server.

Beacon also has a library of templates for smaller chunks of the loot config
process. This makes it easy to include a curated selection of items in your
drops without all the work of starting from scratch.


EASIEST, MOST RELIABLE WAY TO CONFIGURE A SERVER

Works directly with Nitrado servers

For users hosted with Nitrado, Beacon can handle the entire configuration
process automatically. It will start and stop the server, change settings,
create backups, and update files as needed to ensure your server - or a whole
cluster of servers - are configured correctly. And it can do it while you get a
coffee.

Not with Nitrado? No problem, Beacon supports FTP, FTP with TLS, and SFTP
servers too. While it can't restart the server for you, it can still update your
files automatically.

No FTP either? Copy & Paste to the rescue. Simply copy your entire config file,
and with a single click, Beacon will update your config so you can paste it back
where it needs to go.

And of course, you can just save the config files to your computer too, which is
great for single player.


TAKES USER PRIVACY SERIOUSLY

No analytics, heavy encryption, true anonymity, and fully open source

Config files contain server passwords. So Beacon encrypts those with your own
4096-bit RSA private key. FTP credentials or Nitrado access tokens? Yep, those
too. That private key enables Beacon's cloud features too, yet you don't even
need to setup an account! For users who choose to create an account, even your
email address is stored as a one-way hash! Beacon and the Beacon API take
special care to enable true privacy and user data protection.


PLUS MODS AND MORE

Painlessly add engrams, loot drops, creatures, and spawn points from any mod

Users wanting to add mod items to their loot drops only need a list of the admin
spawn codes. Give Beacon the link to the web page with the codes, or copy &
paste them, and Beacon can do the rest. No special formatting required, Beacon
will scour the content for spawn codes.

Mod authors can also add support for their mod directly to Beacon. The items
show up to all Beacon users automatically, and Beacon will also maintain a spawn
codes page just for your mod. For example, here is the spawn codes for Super
Structures. The engrams list can be updated at any time from within Beacon, or
Beacon's API can pull the engrams list from your own server (or Steam page)
every few hours.
