settings (making dinos stronger, limiting the levels)

[Shane]

http://ark.gamepedia.com/Difficulty

on that page under table of common difficulties, it says...

offset = 0.01
Value = 0.5
max creature = 15
loot scale = 50%

so i changed my ark settings (difficulty slider) too 0.01, since the slider itself max's out @ 1.0 you cant put a value of 4.0 per table in link above, so i assum you go with the offset rather than the value...

all fine, but i am seeing Lv.16 dinos in my world using the settings in the quote above. when the max possible is meant to be 15, why....?

have the values changed since that wiki was made, or does altering other sliders in ark settings change the values in any manner and if so what is the real minimal dino level using the min offset setting (aka 0.01) thanks.

additional crap:
In i dunno 4hours playing the highest i seen is still a lv.16 dino...
if i reset the dinos strenght sliders wil it revert back to max 15 not lv.16 creatures

I am also testing 24hr cycles, i have managed to get real 24hrs day/night cycle using the value 0.035 on day cycle speed and then using the cheat command to set time of day to match real time (GMT) so that its day in game when its day in england, and also trying to get character to eat approx 3times per day (if the character doesnt move at all) and does anyone know a value to make that a reality.

maybe its not possible that however, but i am still testing it, so why not ask !!

between each value offset, youll want to do the kill wild dinos command(not sure what the actual thing is, i usually use the showmyadminmanager to do it). to flush the spawns and allow dinos of the new difficulty to spawn in. this causes a lag spike/performance kill on a local machine for a few minutes as the game has to rapidly repopulate the Ark.

I am always starting fresh new singleplayer game each time i test new settings.. so i assume im correct in the fact that because its a fresh new populated world that command wont be required, correct?

another aspect is i am trying to make dinosaurs stronger, hence why limiting to max creature level 15, but the insects are OP (even at lv1) when dino restience and damage sliders are adjusted, so is there a way to manually alter each indiviual dinosaurs strenghts, etc

(Taming sidenote, if you make dinos get hungry quicker using sliders, they tame faster but appear to lose TE very quick too.)
