Suggested Settings For Server With 3-Person Tribe?
We run a server for a 3-person tribe. We have turned up crop growing speed. I know that the single-player game has some settings tweaked to make it more manageable to play solo. What other settings do you think we should tweak for such a small tribe to make it more manageable, something like the things that are tweaked for a single-player game?

We don't want it to be too easy, just more like it would be with a larger tribe, to make it a bit less grindy perhaps. Increased gathering perhaps? Other things?

Thanks in advance!

Dunno why crop growing speed matters, Doesn't take that long on default settings and 3 people won't need more than one of each crop plant for the entire playthrough, they put out plenty, and then you build a greenhouse and the crops are endless.

Settings should probably be discussed with your players since they're the ones going to be playing there.
For the 10 maps I run on my server only 4 to 6 max people play, we have 2x XP, 3x Harvest and 8x Tame. The xp could probably be reduced because we tend to max out our levels before we finish a map properly.
I reduced the poop interval to 4 cause otherwise there's crap everywhere and 4 players just don't need that much fert. Breeding timers need to be set to be enjoyable for solo play rather than a week long babysitting job. I use egg hatch 60, baby mature 50, cuddle interval 0.232. That'll get a Rex raised and 100% imprinted in about an hour.
I raise loot drops to 2.5 so we don't have to constantly do loot patrols to eventually find good stuff for endgame. Day time speed is set to 0.5 to make the days twice as long, rather than reducing the length of the night because I just feel kinda wimpy if I remove the danger of darkness so I compromise by lengthening the day for my players, also gives you time to get ♥♥♥♥ done in the light.
We don't use the single player settings cause we don't really need that much of a buff. the boosts you get are pretty big.

were a 4 man , play mostly at seperate bases but join forces for OSD , nodes and the like .
heres some of what we use to keep it playable and speed up progression :

DifficultyOffset=1.2857
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0
XPMultiplier=5.0
TamingSpeedMultiplier=15

MatingIntervalMultiplier=.10
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=50.0
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50.0
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1.000000
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=00.040000
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=30.000000
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=1.000000

no stat multipliers , we found those made it not hard enough when reaching max level / max level dinos .
