Reverse engineered prompt
Build me a Windows app for managing an ARK: Survival Ascended dedicated server.
I want a simple GUI that can do first time setup, install the needed prerequisites, pull the server through SteamCMD, and then let me start and stop the server safely. When I stop it, it should save the world first and shut down cleanly, and I want an optional backup to run too. I also need a reliable way to send RCON commands and see the console output in the app.
Please make the server settings easy to edit without touching the live config directly. I want changes to be staged, then applied when the server starts, and restored back on safe stop so I do not end up with broken or half changed INI files. Add support for common server options like ports, map, mods, passwords, cluster settings, and auto update with restart. If you need to check the latest docs or server flags online, go ahead.
