Single Player - Guide: How to increase Engram pts / level

[Citronvand]

I'm a new player that is currently only playing by myself. I've seen a lot of threads where people want to increase their Engram points per level in Single Player since you will otherwise not have enough to unlock everything. I have increased the Engram points per level by 50%, it is still based on the original table here: http://ark.gamepedia.com/Level It's just that you recieve 50% more. So 12 points instead of 8. This should net you a total of 3696 at max level and according to the wiki you need 3590 to unlock everything, so this should suffice to unlock everything.

Here's how to do it:

1. Go to \Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

2. Open Game.ini (It is probably empty)

3. Go to http://pastebin.com/XxqfeEHD and copy paste the text there into game.ini.

That should be it. I haven't done any extensive testing but it also seems to work with already existing characters, as in my level 7 character gained the points retroactively when I started the game after the change.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I can confirm that this works on existing characters because I have a character at level 38 currently and when I logged back on after doing this he had 288 engram points ready to be used. Amazing! Unfortunately, Ark has since been updated to have even more engrams to the point where you need 5958 points now to get everything and you are only able to get 3004. At this rate, you have to DOUBLE the engram points you receive at each level to get all of them unlocked. This could throw balancing way off.

I guess we should edit it again in order to allow a correct single player mode.

I can't seem to find \Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Steam paste on windows is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam. Unless you changed where the steam is installed...

Does this still work?
Singleplayer question. It seems to be the same line over and over. Am I missing something?

[Dracon]

Or you could...yaknow. Put level 0, then level 1 and have it at like 5000 points. Thus the only reason for leveling is just to upgrade stats and progress to the next level tier of engrams. Being able to unlock everything as you go =\ Swat I did.

[Neko]

or you could use thsi program "Real_s Ark Level Cap Modifier"
thats what i use:) its awesome, you can set what max lvl you want, how often the amounts of engram points change and hoe many engram points in total.
Using it for my cluster servers to set a higher lvl so something is still happening in the end:)

To actually answer your question, it does work. Yes, it looks like the same line over and over, but that's because you have to put in a line for EVERY level available to your character.

I guessed at that. I added 60, 70 and 80 all the way up so I'll have plenty of points distributed out.
Thanks all! SP is a bummer without this. OMG! SCUBA tanks change the game. :) eels are bad.

This means you are not seeing the file extensions. Windows turns these off by default but I always turn them back on. You can do this in your file Explorer.

game.ini is Game and GameUserSettings is GameUserSettings.ini. Hope this helps you Connor.

These files can be opened in notepad. I personally use notepad++. It's a free download.

[[BRTD]Luewen]

Dont seem to be working. Added the override lines but every time i load local game file gets reseted and lines i added removed.

[fox™ ✠]

Nice +1

[The Toxinator]

This doesn't seem to be working for me. When I pasted it into the Game.ini it subtracted engram points as opposed to adding engram points and now I have -3761 engram points.

[Paroxyde]

I would advise to x3 the engram points with the up coming docs.
