One chat across all maps
FreeMessages flow between every approved map and the panel, live. Map labels, who is online where, admin messages straight from the panel.
For ARK cluster admins
Cross-map chat and community tools for ARK clusters
A plugin for ARK: Survival Ascended and Survival Evolved plus a hosted panel. Up and running in ten minutes — no shared MySQL, no open ports, no RCON.
- ASA · ASE
- Free forever up to 25 maps
- 10-minute setup
- No open ports
The problem
A cluster is one community. Its chat isn’t.
Maps don’t see each other
Players on The Island don’t see Ragnarok. Every map is an island — literally.
A tribe is split across maps
Tribe chat stays on one map: tribemates on other maps never see it.
One more database to run
A typical crosschat plugin needs a MySQL you host and a config synced to each box by hand.
Glue instead of a panel
Discord bots, RCON tools and spreadsheets, just to know who is online and where.
How it works
Three steps, ten minutes
The plugin goes on every map. The panel, chat history, bots and API run in our cloud.
- 1
Install the plugin
Download the ASA or ASE build in the panel and unpack it into the AsaApi or ArkApi plugins folder.
- 2
Add your key
Paste the
config.jsonfrom the panel: project key and SatayaLib address. One key serves every map. - 3
Approve the map
Restart the map. It shows up in the panel as “awaiting approval” — approve it and pick a cluster.
config.json on every map
{
"key": "YOUR_PROJECT_KEY",
"url": "wss://satayalib.com/plugin/connect"
}The panel shows the key once and gives you this file ready to copy. Restart game servers one by one, as with any plugin.
One outbound connection per map
Features
What you and your players get
The badge shows the plan a feature needs; where part of it is on Free, the card says so. Cross-map chat, tribe chat and bridges are on Free.
Tribe chat across maps
FreeA tribe on The Island links with its tribe on Scorched Earth by a one-time code typed in game:
/st link. Or link them by hand in the panel.
Separate channels for tribe chat and logs
FreeA tribe owner or admin connects tribe chat and logs to Discord or Telegram from the game. Chat works both ways; logs go to a separate channel. Each channel receives only its tribe’s messages.
Discord and Telegram bridges
FreeAdd our bot to the channel, create a bridge and type
/connect <code>there — that’s the setup. Chat both ways, joins and leaves, map status. We host the bots.
Players and “who is where” map
ProPlayer registry by SteamID / EOS ID with survivors per map, on Free. Pro adds the “who is where” map, refreshed every 30 seconds, and offline data.
VIP you can actually sell
ProPlayer groups with a term, from five minutes to forever. Members get a [VIP] label and colour their nickname and text with
/st color, seen on other maps.
- Pro
Chat moderation
A banned-word filter and player mutes by platform ID. Mutes apply across all maps in the project; the panel keeps the reason, duration and moderation history. You can also choose your own command prefix.
- Free
Team and keys
Owner, admins and viewers sign in by email code, no passwords. Revoke a key and its maps drop at once.
- Pro
Open API
REST for chat, game servers and players, plus a WebSocket event stream. Tokens with scopes.
- Max
Custom bot
Bridges run under your bot’s name and avatar. You give us the token; we still host the bot.
Game messages in your format
Add the date, time, platform and tribe to messages from the game. Choose a time zone and highlight key details in bold — the same syntax works in Discord and Telegram. The panel includes examples and a preview.
Set up a message templateTemplate
[{date:Europe/Moscow} {time:Europe/Moscow}] {platform} **[{map}] {character} [{tribe}]**: {text}Result

Example using demo data
Cluster status in one message
A live board in Discord or Telegram shows player counts and connection status for each map. The bot updates the existing message. Choose the maps and whether to show player names.
Availability depends on your plan settings. Ask in Discord for details.
How the live board worksMap health
ProServer frame times, player counts, disconnections and alerts on one timeline. Review the history and compare map status in the panel.
About map healthComing soon
Planned SatayaLib features. They are not available yet; release dates have not been announced.
Raid alerts
Planned alerts for possible raids based on tribe log events, delivered to Discord and Telegram with sensitivity controls and limits on repeated notifications.
Status: Not available yet
Player and tribe inspector
View a snapshot of a survivor, inventory, dinos and structures in the panel. The inspector is designed to review data without changing the game world.

Compared with a typical crosschat plugin
What a typical crosschat plugin asks you to run, and what SatayaLib asks instead.
| Typical crosschat plugin | SatayaLib | |
|---|---|---|
| Database | A shared MySQL you host and maintain | None on your side: history lives in our cloud |
| Configs | The same config copied to every map by hand | Key and address in config.json; the rest in the panel |
| Ports and RCON | Usually a database port reachable from every machine | One outbound WebSocket per map; no ports to open, no RCON |
| New maps | Depends on the plugin | Wait in the panel until you approve them |
| Hosted panel and chat history | Usually none, or you host it yourself | Panel included; 7 to 365 days of history by plan |
| Tribe chat and bridges | Depends on the plugin | Tribe chat across maps, Discord and Telegram bots on Free |
Already running another crosschat? Put SatayaLib next to it on one map.

FAQ
Questions admins ask
Does it work on ASA and ASE? Can I mix them in one cluster?
Yes to both. The panel has a plugin build for ARK: Survival Ascended (AsaApi) and for ARK: Survival Evolved (ArkApi). ASA and ASE maps can sit in one cluster and share one chat. On ASE the nickname is not coloured separately: the whole line takes the text colour, or the nickname colour if no text colour is set.
Do I need my own database or a shared MySQL?
No. Chat history, the player registry and settings live in our cloud. On each map you only edit config.json: the project key and the SatayaLib address, both from the panel.
Do I need to open ports or enable RCON?
No. The plugin opens one outbound WebSocket from the game server to the panel. There is nothing to open or forward, and no RCON.
I already run another crosschat. Can I try SatayaLib without breaking it?
Yes. Put SatayaLib next to it on one map and approve that map in the panel: you see its chat and players without breaking what already works. Move the other maps when you are ready.
What is in Free, and what does “forever” mean?
Free gives 1 project, up to 25 maps and 7 days of chat history. It includes cross-map chat, tribe chat and tribe links, our Discord and Telegram bots with tribe channels, the player registry, team and keys.
“Forever” means it is not a trial: no card, no end date.
What happens to my data if I go from Pro back to Free?
Features freeze, data stays: colours, groups, filter words and API tokens work again when you return to Pro. Chat history older than 7 days is hidden and deleted after a 30-day grace period. Approved maps are not switched off.
What if my project key leaks?
Every new game server that connects with your key waits for your approval. A key still opens your cluster, so replace a leaked one at once: revoke it in the panel (its maps drop immediately), issue a new key, put it into config.json on each map and approve the maps again.
Can I host SatayaLib myself?
Not yet. The panel, chat history and bots run in our cloud; only the plugin runs on your maps.
Which languages are supported?
The panel is in English and Russian. Texts players see in game — the command hint, tribe link codes, colour replies — come in English and Russian, and you can rewrite each one in any language, along with map and platform names.
Where do I get help?
In our Discord: questions, tickets and feature requests all go there. Setup steps for the plugin, the panel and the bots are in the documentation.
Ten minutes to a connected cluster
Free needs no card and has no end date. All you need is AsaApi or ArkApi and access to the plugins folder on each map.
- Sign in at satayalib.com with an email code
- Issue a key and download the plugin
