Singelplayer Experience / Settings / Bugs?

[کhurikeŋ]

Hello everyone o/

I just want to sum up or talk about my SP Experience so far and some weird stuff i´ve encountered. Maybe some of you guys playing SP have similar problems.

Having the fact in mind, that ARK: SA just released and sure has some bugs/weird stuff going on. Also i´m by no means complaining at all, just want to know if you guys have the same issues. Here are some problems i have:

1. Some of the SP settings and values changed there don´t seem to have a great or any impact at all. For example the maximum dino count. Currently set it to 5 as i couldn´t find much dinos at all. After a fresh dino wipe via console command and a solid 2-3h of waiting, there are still only a few dinos here and there.

I also changed to allow movement speed leveling for flyers. After spending my first point, which worked back then, it wasn´t possible anymore ? Like the config changed mid-game.
The relevant files are allowed to write and not "read-only".

2. Some already learnd engrams e.g. Bolas disappear from my crafting menu. The engramm is still learned but the bolas disappeared for me until i learned another engramm.
Some engramm unlearn themselfs sometimes aswell.

3. Harvested ressources like Trees/Rocks etc. don´t seem to respawn even though i have changed the setting for this aswell. Old Ark problem ^^

EDIT:
4. I´ve turned on movement speed leveling but it´s not working somehow. The movement speed shows up now but i can´t spec any points into it, why´s that ?

The rest of the issues i have is probably because of point 1.
Some setting seem to apply like chaning day/night cycle, but other like allow movement speed leveling don´t. I´m just confused. Are there other settings overiding or something ? :)

Wow I'm playing single player and haven't experienced any of that. Dino's are everywhere, engrams haven't disappeared and resources are definitely respawning. In fact I'm impressed at how fast they respawn, I may want to tune it down a bit.

Really, now that´s weird. It has been like that for me from the get go, without changing any settings. I just hopped into SP. Only later i started messing with settings a little bit.

regarding the tree respawn: if you exist the game when some are not respawned yet, they will never respawn. best to make the respawn time very short and just wait for them to respawn before exiting.

OK I am a noob but how do I do that in ASA. I knew how in ASE.

Logged in this morning and interactive foliage not working no matter how high I turn the settings up. Water is static now also, no ripples etc. Didn't see a download so can't have been patched out ...... weird. FPS up a little though.

All of these settings can be changed in the In-Game Menu. You don´t even need to use the console. My Trees/Rocks have respawned now. Would be fairly stupid having to wait until ressources respawn before you log out xD

I´m also using "-PreventHibernation" in the launch settings to do just that. In SP the world is only active around your character and the rest ist frozen.
Now when i have visited an area, it stays active for the rest of the session. Helped a bit with my dino spawns.

I've got plenty of dinos and the resources respawn regularly.
I never touched any of the settings, just went into single player.

I haven't experienced all those problems is SP.
Just one time i doubt obtaining my engram points when leveling.
My metal nods are long to respawn, i will try the prevent hibernation command maybe (or is it just for dino?) Where do i put this command, in steam launch option?

The Hibernation is probably just usefull for dinos. It just ensures the chunks stay active while your gone, spawning, food drain etc. i guess.
You put in in the launch options yes.

-PreventHibernation that goes into your steam side setting for game. Its under launch "settings" I forget term. but go to steam, then right click game and bring up settings.

Well Harvest Rates are locked too you can set them as high as you want once ingame they auto revert to x10, even if you set it in GUS.ini and make it read only you cant get past that. Than there are level locks you can try and add custom levels you can try and edit Game.ini to gain more levels but it wont work for the player. you can do it for the tamed dinos but it soft locks the players level at 135.

Glad to know this so wont waste time. Was going to edit all these as well..

What i tried to change is "harvest health" aswell , like how much you can hit the tree/rock before it breaks. But that also diden´t seem to work...

[Capcheeks]

I kinda had the same issues at first but after the first patch, dinos are everywhere, movement speed can be specced into, etc. The engrams issue still does happen but only with mod crafting stations, so I had assumed it was just issues with the mod.

Regarding this, try setting a high af number. I have mine set to 10000 and it definitely makes a difference, but it's nuts that it has to be that high a number.
