Adjusting server harvesting
This has been one of my main p'os for this game when on high rate servers, but ive noticed some servers can set a certain amount to be harvested at one time, so now i ask, how do i do that?

Nothing in that list explains what he wants to do. If you claim it does please quote the site and show me where.

HarvestAmountMultiplier

Specifies the scaling factor for yields from all harvesting activities (chopping down trees, picking berries, carving carcasses, mining rocks, etc.). Higher values increase the amount of materials harvested with each strike.

The GameUserSettings.ini file contains options for both the game client and the game server. Options for the game client are not used by the server. Server options are specified in the section labeled [ServerSettings], which is usually located at the bottom of the file.

The Game.ini file is used for more advanced modifications, such as changing engram points or XP rewarded per level, disabling specific content, or rebalancing depending on player tastes.

For all supported platforms, options are listed one per line using the same basic syntax:

<option>=<value>

So by searching half way down the page i found it.

HarvestAmountMultiplier=5 (would multiply x5) and that gets edited in the GameUserSettings.ini

By reading i was able to make this deduction.

This is what i use on SP.

There is a Game ini section with info on how to change how much you can harvest per swing/attack...

HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat_C",Multiplier=10.0)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat_Fish_C",Multiplier=10.0)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Multiplier=10.0)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_Fish_C",Multiplier=10.0)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Crystal_C",Multiplier=10.0)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",Multiplier=10.0)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Flint_C",Multiplier=10.0)

One problem, that doesn't make it a specific amount, that changes the variable amount. Not there is a chance that's not what he was actually asking, but it sure seems like it to me. Also the "here look at a 10k word wiki" isn't all that helpful to some people. That a lot of information to sift through.

I believe what he is referring to is turning on the optimized harvesting setting where instead of counting up the resources gathered it immediately displays a precalculated amount. (I don't use it myself do I'm inferring it's function from others posts elsewhere) That is not at all explained in that link. Sure the command and a brief description is there, but not how to really use them. And yes, I do understand it gives instructions on how to enter the command into the .ini but putting it there and setting it up properly are two different things.

It's also possible that I'm interpreting things way wrong, so I'll apologize for any offense caused by this post or my previous and move on.
