Add engram points command

[Auftragsmoerder]

Is there any cheat or admin command that adds in additional engram points? Any workaround is fine, i would even be open to modding, if necessary.

I am explicitly NOT asking for any solution changing any lines in the config files or for the solution of simply adding experience points.

Reason is to fix the broken/bugged/disabled option to buy engram points in the hexagon shop implemented with Genesis for my single player world. If someone knows how to fix that shop - that solution would be absolutely fine, too.

I would really like the option to work and grind on genesis to unlock more engrams than my max level allows, even especially if wasting time. But, as usual, we can't have nice things on Ark.

I use a stacking mod, that also has an ini option to auto-unlock the engrams. It's called Colstax but there are other options and individual engram unlockers in the workshop.

Auto unlock exists in the base game too, no need for a mod for that. But if I understand the OP correctly, that isn't quite what they're looking for - they want the ability to unlock extra engrams by grinding for them, not that they just want the engrams handed to them when they get to a particular level.

And if that is the correct understanding, then I'm afraid as far as I'm aware there are no commands to do this, no. You can edit the configs to give you more points, but that would negate the grinding aspect too, which isn't what you're looking for.

I haven't heard of any mods which do what you ask, but there may be some out there somewhere, idk.

EDIT: Out of curiosity I checked the wiki, and I did find this command:

UnlockEngram <BlueprintPath>

It isn't an engram point option, but it would perhaps allow you to grind something (materials or whatever), then throw away what you collected and unlock that engram in it's place, as if you had gained the points to unlock it. Not fully sure how well it would work though, or if the unlock would persist through a game restart. But it may be a round about way to make it work.

Yes unlucking engrams is another possibility. It is, again, not what i was looking for, but might be a worst-case-solution, if nothing else is found. I still hope to find something more accurate, but i don't have the highest hopes...

yah if you go to your gameuser settings and put in this stuff https://wiki.nitrado.net/en/Raising_Engram_Points_in_ARK_Survival_Evolved . you can probably just search google for "increase engram points per level" and find better explenations on it iv done this a long time ago and i havent had any problems of running out of points

"increase engram points per level"

This is what i did not ask for. I want to earn bonus points on top of the (in my opinion perfectly fine) normal points per level. If i can't get this to work i have to think about unlocking blueprints while noting "bonus points earned" in some excel spreadsheet or something. Sounds like an annoying workaround tho - only because Wildcard seemingly broke something nice that was already ingame.

I mean, ye, i guess i have to think about engram points per level, too. But sounds like i got to change the engram point of the last (or better first) level every time i gain some more bonus points.

Update: the genesis hexagon shop seems kinda fixed. After a break for few months i noticed now that i had something+200 engram points. Also i seem able to buy new points - while being not reliably working in 100% of the cases.

Finally some new grind to be done...


Edit: is this due to no more official servers? Sad story, if so...

It's possible to change the amount of engram points you receive for each level. It's retroactive. If you change the amount to a higher total, when you log into the game next time, you will have tons of unspent points. You can change it as many times as you want, or even change it to a lower amount. It won't take away unlocked engrams, but show you've spent more then the total should have been. If you take a mindwipe tonic, then you'd only be able to spend the new lower amount of engram points.

I currently use about double what you "should" have in a single player game, just due to all the building parts, armors, and saddles that are required to be unlocked. The engram system is HEAVILY geared towards group play, and clans, and NOT singleplayer.

It requires changes to a config file.
