Ark Modify Server Config Options
Below is a list of the changes list in the Modify Server Config tool for ARK (PC) servers.
- Change Log
- A list of the most recent additions to the configuration tool for that particular game. If there any settings that may be missing, please let us know.
- Base Config
- Basic configuration for the server, including MOTD, difficulty values, cluster/tribute transfer settings, and most other game multiplier settings.
- Player Levels
- This section allows fine tuning for player levels and engram configurations. By selection the option for Make Changes, a list will open up that displays leveling information. This list shows the complete range of levels that a player may earn when they are fully Ascended. For players that have not Ascended, the maximum level that they may attain is 30 levels below the server's maximum. (30 levels are saved for Ascension)
- Dinosaur Levels
Similar to player levels, this allows you to modify the levels a tamed dino will receive after the point that they are tamed. Leveling bonuses from Taming Effectiveness will not affect how many levels a dino can earn.
- Per Level Stats Multiplier
These multipliers adjust the stats of players, tamed dinos, and wild dinos.
NOTE: There is a known issue with transferring between ARK servers that have high base player stats, as this may cause an obscenely high number of Health, Speed, etc. To correct this, reduce the base player stats on the server experiencing the issue back to 1.
- Dinosaur Config (incl. DLC Creatures)
This section helps adjust various aspects of creature spawning for ARK.
- Engrams Configuration
This section allows for easy editing towards the game's engram configuration: How many engrams are needed to learn something, what level needed to learn, and if per-requisites must be learned before unlocking this engram. Alternatively, the specific engram can be disabled entirely.
- Harvestable Items Multiplier Override
This section is for setting the individual multipliers of harvestable items.
NOTE: If you are experiencing lag when harvesting items, change the value of Harvest Amount Multiplier to 1 and then change each individual item in this section to the desired multiplier. This is a bug with ARK's gathering system and a harvesting node's health. However changing the specific multiplier prevents server lag from occurring.
- Procedural Map
Definition
- Custom .ini Code
This section allows the addition of server settings found in the GameUserSettings.ini file without the need for manually editing via FTP. Variables for server mods can also be added here, with more information in the section below.
NOTE: A Custom .ini Code box for Game.ini is planned for the near future.
Player Levels
- The "Player Levels" configuration option allows you to change the EXP needed per level for leveling up in ARK as well as the engrams received per achievement of that level. You can also add and remove levels, creating a new maximum level on the server. The add and remove levels options can be seen on the top right of this section of the configuration.
Dinosaur Levels
- Much like the "Player Level" section of the control panel, the Dinosaur level of the control panel can be edited by clicking on the "Make Changes" button next to "Dinosaur Level Configuration" and changing the XP Required per level as desired.
Dinosaur Config
Test
SpawnLimitPercentage
- No more than 1, no less than 0. (SpawnLimitPercentage * 100 is the actual value)
SpawnWeightMultiplier
- Higher value means dinos are more often spawning than those with lower weights.
Resistance also affects Torpor. There is no separate configuration value specifically for Tpropor. for dinos.
At this time, specific attacks or abilities cannot be modified, such as the Gryphon's Dive attack or the Raptor's Pack Call.
