Dedicated Server tame limit at 100? [SOLVED]
I'm running a private dedicated server with some friends, and it would appear as if it limits tames to 100/tribe. In singleplayer this number is 600 for the one player. I haven't found any settings in the singleplayer menus to adjust this nor have I found any .ini options to adjust this value. Has anyone else found anything regarding this yet?

This setting in GameUserSettings.ini is supposed to control it, but I'm using a Nitrado hosted server and we also see a Tame Limit of 100 even with this value in the INI file and on NItrado's own UI. Very strange.

MaxTamedDinos=5000

I've bumped this value up to 50K and have adjusted max player limits to see if the max tame limit happened to scale but it nothings affected it so far.

Thanks for the input, but it doesn't appear that the introduction of either line has had any effect, the tame limit still sits at 100.

Is the path to the inis correct? It looks something like this.
steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer
We have a 5000 personel and 50000 tribe limit on our dedi server with this settings.

The paths were correct but I shifted the commands around within the list and removed it from the server's start.bat file, as I had stuck it there as well for good measure, and it looks like everything is working as intended now with the right numbers.
The help is much appreciated!

How did you switch it around?

If memory serves me correctly, I simply moved 'MaxPersonalTamedDinos=5000' to the top of the Game.ini config file just under '[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]' at the very top.
