Hatching, Maturing and Imprinting multiplier is not working in Single Player
This is my Game.ini located in D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.1
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=20
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=10
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.1

Out of the 4 codes, only MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.1 is working(Dodo can mate again in 3 hrs)

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=20 <-- Not working(still using default timer)
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=10 <-- Not working(still using default timer)
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.1 <-- Not working(still using default timer)

The interesting thing is that if I set values in the opposite way, it does work!

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=0.1 <-- Hatch even slower
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=0.1 <-- Maturing take months
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=10 <-- Dodo wants a cuddle in the next 7 days ( --___---- ")

What is going on? Can anyone help me please it's driving me nuts


=============================

NOTE:

I'm fully aware that the changes do not apply to the existing eggs that are still in incubation process or babies that are still in maturing process. All the changes above has been used to test with new eggs and babies

Every setting applied only when the next related event occur.

For example: if you already have a dodo which have the mating timer counting from 3 hours, if you change the setting and restart the server, your dodo will still have the timer counting from where it left (3 hours). However, when your dodo mates again, the new settings will be applied.

Similarly, if you already have a baby, its mature speed wont change. Cuddle interval will only have effect after its next cuddle.

Same for eggs: if you already have a fertilized egg, its hatching speed wont change when you change the ini. However the next egg will have the new setting.

I'm fully aware that the changes do not apply on the existing eggs or babies so I've tested them all with new egg, with new babies and the result is as I described above

Im clueless then. Im running almost the same setting on my LAN server and they are OK.
Your config file seems to be OK for me. Maybe someone more clever comes in... :)

Are the defaults floating point or int?

You might need to add the .0 at the end.

Any mods?

If not, and those lines are all that is in the game.ini file, try creating a new file and typing it all in again. Maybe there is something odd about how it is in the file now. Some hidden characters that prevent it from getting past that first line.

Yeah pure vanilla. I had Joan Egg mod before but it never works so I tested with 0 mods. Same result

Also create a new Game.ini as you suggest, same result
