Console commands keep resetting
Hey guys any idea how I can make some console commands like the ones for grass density and size apply by default, since I have to rewrite them everytime I play the game.
Is there a ini file where I can plug those commands from and have it as startup?
Thanks in advance!

just make a text file on your desktop and save it there so you can copy/paste into console when you start, some stuff can't be saved. if you divide it up like r.volumetricfog 0 | r.volumetricclouds 0 and just keep putting | and a space on each side (shift backslash) between each command you can do them all at once and that's about the easiest way. other option is autohotkey but i've never messed with it myself, ctrl+C and ctrl+V is easy enough

I wish, and I want this too.

The game performs significantly better after I apply the console code to remove clouds, but since my console command is reset to their default (clouds visible) everytime, my load into the game takes a few minutes.

For my singleplayer, I wish my command of leavemealone was enabled by default.

I wonder if someone could make a mod to make the console settings stick to our wishes, instead of reverting to defaults upon every relog.
make a text file here
ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Binaries\
call it what ever"pvp.txt"
put your commands like this:
r.volumetricfog 0
r.volumetricfog 1
r.volumetricfog 2
r.volumetricfog 3

save it
console command: exec "pvp.txt"
will launch everything in your txt file
1 command everytime
