Making Tamed Dinos invincible?

[Leyren]

I don't like the idea of losing my tamed dinos when being inattentive for a second. So, is there some working server setting to make tamed dinos effectively invincible? I set
TamedDinoResistanceMultiplier=100.00000

and tried it with my Equus, but it still got a significant amount of damage from a small raptor. Was the value simply to low or are there other solutions to that?

Please no comments like "Don't play this game when you don't like Survival-Feature XY". Thanks.

Hmm when you ride it, you could do "cheat god" and/or "cheat infinitestats"
this way the tame gets the cheat enabled, not the player.
But I don't know if it stays when you disconnect/reconnect or close the game and re-enter your world.

theres cheats to make dino your riding invincible but course this only works for dinos you can ride in regards to ini settings dont know i never found it necessary to mess with the balance settings since i find it pretty easy to survive in pve

if playing on server it stay active but it resets for your character in single player not tested if it does for tames as well but could just punch tame after restarting game to check

You could spawn a saddle with rediculous high quality. That way they can't get killed by other dinos or players.

You have to keep them fed tho.

Why play a survival game, if you don't like the survival aspect? :P
Go to https://ark.gamepedia.com/Server_Configuration
Read the settings. Apply the settings.

Just like how the cheats disable on server restart/client shutdown for the player so do cheats applied to tames. Had a titanosaur i set infinitestats to in solo i had to remember to re-aply every time i logged in.

Besides infinitestats and god there is another command that can make you and your dinos safe, enemyinvisible true. With this set agressive animals will ignore you, i use this often when i have to clear old eggs out of wyvern trenches.

The resistance multiplier works the opposite way. When you go past 1.0 thats increasing the damage taken in this case by 100% but if you change it to anything lower than 1.0 it will take much less damage so what you want something like 0.01.

Like Shade said. If you want dinos or PCs to take LESS damage then lower the resistance number below 1.0 and if you want them to take MORE damage raise it above 1.0. If you want players or tamed dinos to be truly invulnerable then set their resistance at zero. I run a dedicated PvE server and have the resistance of buildings set to zero which means walls and stuff can't be destroyed by damage such as wild dinos attacking gates etc.

Keep a backup of your save file, and if anything happens that you don't like, reload.

despite the age of this thread, i´d like to add setting it to zero, did not prevent them from getting killed. At least I had plenty of tames that got killed, without that I even saw what happened. Taking the hunger etc to 0 did work, so I wonder.

There's a mod called MEga SAddles you should try.
