About

The Open command initiates a connection to another ARK server using its IP address, port, and optional password. This is a cheat command available only in the console.

Format the argument as a single string: the numerical IP address, a colon, the port number, and if required, a question mark followed by the server password. For example, 123.123.123.123:1234?password123 connects to that server with the given credentials. If no password is set on the target server, omit the question mark and password entirely.

This command is primarily useful during server maintenance, testing, or troubleshooting scenarios where you need to verify connectivity or access another instance.
