ASE

ARK: Survival Evolved

The original dedicated-server stack. Ark Manager was built first for Evolved: SteamCMD install/repair, ArkApi plugin staging, Game.ini / GUS merge, RCON, backups, wipes.

Open source — change it

Ark Manager itself (the window, INI merge, RCON, machines, add-ons, backups) is open source. The zip you download is the source. Unzip it, open the .py files in any editor, add a tab, change a button, hook a new plugin — it is yours to modify. Flex AI (the brain) stays closed; everything else in the zip is MIT.

No-code: share a plugin / INI pack / preset on the Add-ons page. After review it can land in other people's installs.
Code: edit ark_gui.py (tabs and buttons) and ark_core.py (start/stop, INIs, RCON). Restart Ark Manager to see it.
Modules: an add-on with "kind": "module" can add a new tab without forking the whole app.

Keep the MIT licence notice if you redistribute your changes. Do not ship other people's plugin DLLs you don't have rights to.
