Installing a Workshop collection on an Ark server streamlines the process of adding mods and custom content to the game. By compiling a selection of mods into a single collection, server administrators can easily manage and distribute them to players. This ensures that everyone on the server can access the same mods, reducing compatibility issues and simplifying gameplay experiences. Workshop collections also facilitate updates and changes to mods as needed, enhancing the overall modding experience on Ark servers.
Note: Adding mods can potentially corrupt existing save files. Check the mod description on Steam to verify save compatibility.
