Ark Private Server: Way to set Dino's gain EXP while we're offline?

[Rowan]

Is there a way so that dino's get EXP while offline on my private server? I remember when I played on a public server, I'd come online and my dino's would be about 15 levels higher. Is there a way to set it so my private server they gain EXP while I'm offline, or does a player have to physically be online for it to work?

if no one is near them, the server sets the whole area into idle. You'd have to have someone logging in at least once an hour for 15min for them to gain xp
