In ARK: Survival Evolved, your character’s inventory is not retained after death-every time you die, you wind up naked and afraid on a beach and are forced to start all over. This is perfect if you’re level boosting and crafting multiple items. Admins can even set the prices so as to supervise their in-game economy. The Shopping Mod adds a currency system to the game and allows you to buy base items you need as well as sell the ones you don’t.

If you find yourself getting frustrated with having excess crafted items and nothing to do with them, this mod might be up your alley. And the best part? You’ll look like you’re rocketing away in a cloud of electric farts every time. It may not exactly fit the primitive survival theme of ARK, but then again, why strive for realism in a game about taming dinosaurs? This jetpack mod is a great way to explore the beauty of the island. (Note: this list excludes total conversion mods, which will appear as a separate list at a later date). Looking for some tools to make your trip to prehistory a little easier? Or just looking for a change of pace? Let this list of the best ARK: Survival Evolved mods be your guide. As a community-driven and community-supported game, there’s a wide selection of user-made content to pick up in the Steam Workshop. Boy, for being an Early Access game, ARK: Survival Evolved sure does have a lot of mods.
