Here we answer the most common questions about Second Chance Evolution: rates, wipes, mods, crossplay, rules, and progress. Missing something? Just ask HLA, reach us on Discord, or ask in-game.
What are the breeding rates?
What are the level caps?
Max wild level: 300 (difficulty 10). Max player level: 105.
Are there wipes?
No. We follow a clear no-wipe policy – your progress stays.
Which mods do you use?
We choose mods with great care and only use what is necessary – quality over quantity. Many features run server-side without mods, keeping your client light. Examples of active mods: Super Cryo Storage, S+ Dino Variants, and Draconis Glaucus (freemium).
Why so few mods?
To avoid performance and compatibility issues. Every mod has a clear purpose and contributes to the experience.
Does the cluster support crossplay?
Yes. You can play with friends regardless of their platform.
What is the gameplay style?
PVE – no raiding, no base raiding. Building, taming, breeding, and exploring are the focus.
Are there limits for tribes and dinos?
Does my progress persist across maps?
Yes – the maps are part of a cross-travel network. Characters and dinos travel between the cluster's maps, and thanks to the no-wipe policy nothing is lost.
How do I join the cluster?
Search for 2ndCE or Ullis in ARK: Survival Ascended and join. Afterwards you can use the dashboard, quests, and tools directly in the browser.
Can I start sleeping maps?
Yes – start sleeping maps via this website, through our AI HLA (/hla start <mapname>), or via Discord.
