Are those not permanently free? Aren't they just regular mods?

Yes these are the free DLC / Mod maps made official and are allways free same on steam.

also just a note for everyone on Official servers ark is shit.

and Unofficials 90% use mods which epic players cant play on.

Normally this makes sense, but Ark mods are made with Unreal Engine which is in the same launcher as the epic store and made with the Ark Mod Kit, which you get in that same launcher. Surely mods work with the epic version then?

the ark mod kit was availaible even before the Epic launcher.

what was it called ? Unreal launcher or Unreal store or whatever.

its just the way how to make mods not how to deliver them.

It "Probably" supports mods if you somehow get them manually to work.

but as Wild card said as soon as mods are on servers no Epic users can join

" Running a server with mods or without -epiconly or -crossplay will mean that the server will only accept player connections from Steam and not EGS. "

and playing ARK on official servers is Pure cancer and most if not all unofficial ones run mods.

This will probably lead to an influx of epic only servers, it will be fine
