Max level for extinction dinos in single player?
Title. Highest dino i've been able to find so far is a 116 on single player. Don't really play official so im wondering if they can be found higher.

if you set the difficult to 1.0 the max level is 150.

See and thats what I thought. Never had any issues on other maps. Guess I have just been really unlucky. Lowest i've been finding is 4 and like I said highest was 116. Guess I will keep looking.

If you found a 116, then your max level will be 120.

You're set to 4. Need to be set to 5. If you're seeing those numbers, your max will be 120 for non-tek dinos.

Is that what the max is currently on official servers? If not this may be a bug? IDK I have it set to 1 for difficulty, have single player settings on and maximum difficulty checked as normal.

Evertime i try to change the difficulty past 1 i goes back to 1.

Difficulty stays at 1. You have to change your ini settings. Look for something like: "override official difficulty 4.0" Change that to 5.0. Will not work if you're playing official, though.

Are other dinos levelled in a factor of 4, or 5?

If they see level 4 and level 116, you can fairly safely assume that their difficulty is set at 4 as you said :)

This is the setting they're looking for:
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10.000000

(That gives me max level 300 dinos, obviously)

Find your ini file. Change the settings, and save it. Then, right-click on the file, go to properties, and set to "read only", so Ark doesn't over write what you just did. Might have to do a dino wipe to start seeing the changes. You'll know it worked, if dinos start having levels that are a factor of 5.

i.e. - 5, 10, 15, etc.

Yes, your max level will be 120.

No might about it. When you change dino levels you *always* have to run a dino wipe if you want to get rid of the old ones, or you're going to have to kill them all before new ones with proper levels spawn.
