How to make resources spawn closer to structures?

[MasterWaffle]

I'm building on top of a mountain with metal on it in single player and need to know what to change to make resources spawn closer to buildings. thanks.

ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=1
ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=1

in ini. Edit as you like. Not recommed to set them to zero, unless you like your base full of rocks. If you're playing singleplayer, it's in the advanced options before launching.

I changed those 2 and structures prevent resource radius multiplier to 0.25. I changed the respawn rate to 0.01 to test. Resources are not respawning by my base. do structures already built have anything to do with it? I would hate to have to rip down my base just to rebuild it.

There is a bug in SP that if you quit before letting resources respawn, those never come back.

You nerfed the hell out of the respawn rate. Rates in ARK means "how fast does something happen". So if you want to increase the rate, and make things happen faster based on a rate multiplier, you need to raise the rate multiplier.

1 =100% = Normal rate
0.01 = 1% = Super slow rate
2+ = 200%+ = Higher rate, respawn happens twice or more as fast

Try setting the respawn rate to 10 to speed it up.

Edit: Kitsune is right, that SP/non-dedi bug may have happened if that's what you're running instead of a dedicated server. If you've exited the game before the resources respawned, they will never come back.

If you got a S+ Feeding Trough in your base: Lift it up and set it down again. Due to a nice "Feature" (others call it bug) in the DevKit the food radius of the trough also prevents respawning of resources in this radius.

having 0.01 respawn rate makes it faster. You are mistaken. It even says it in the tool tip. I've tested on trees.

Does re fertalizer bring metal nodes back?

Like like using ASM for setting up my ini files. Really nice tooltip to know when you want larger or smaller numbers.

I stand corrected.

Well... I ripped down my entire base. Nothing will respawn. So yes I have that bug. That's kinda a deal breaker and game breaking. I can't keep track of what will respawn or not even if I started off with a new save. Here I thought I'd give the game another chance. It's just as big a pile as it ever was...

thanks for the help I guess. :/

If your system is beefy enough you can run a dedicated server just for you. ASM is an awesome program. You should be able to move your SP gave files over to it.

[MasterWaffle]

its not. Any work around for the bug like a mod or something?

Last i heard. Load into a non dedi. Then relog in ur sp

[Kblocks]

if you're a loser on single player just admin spawn whatever crap you want

[Kblocks]

or don't block spawns by building on the spawn. that's how it works
