Sever Setup

[Emerald_Oceans]

Hey everyone so I am trying to get my sever setup. I just don't know how adjust everything. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you wanting to be able to tweak game settings etc such as taming speed and imprint, hatching, etc? If so you'll need to modify 2 .ini files.

To find the 2 files you will need to navigate to your Ark Server Folder (where you downloaded from steamcmd)

Arkserver\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\

In this folder you should see a GameUserSettings configuration file (open with notepad to edit)

There is also another file that might not be in the folder. You might need to create it called Game.ini

To create the Game.ini open up notepad and paste the following (please note these are my Server Settings for hatching, maturing, imprinting, crops etc. After you have pasted the following in notepad. Click File, Save As, navigate to the folder where the GameUserSettings is located and chance the Save As Type to Files and name the file Game.ini and click save.

This might actually be a current bug where the dinos mesh into the ground because they are rendered before the ground is on some spots so they will fall into the ground "disappearing". You can get them back by using the console command "ghost" and using a modded cryo pod to get them out or if they are a flyer, mount them - use "ghost" while mounted, fly out and use "walk" to stop being able to move trough walls/terrain.
