Help me set up the perfect PvE server.

[Spow]

I have a new 35 slot PvE server that is soon up and running, I want to hear what you guys wanna see for settings on a casual pve server.
Currently thinking 8x tame 7x exp/harvest, what do you think a good PvE server should have for settings? I want it to go kinda fast but not over the top.

The stacking mod for sure. Its a pain in the ass without it.

[flodoomable]

Taming and recources on 3.0 and day/night cycle on 0.8? XD

[Doze]

7x xp is over the top mate... on higher lvl's when you kill an alpha you'll just max out your xp cap in one or two kills... :p

I use xp 3x
taming 15x
harvest 5x
and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of custom settings like extra lvl's etc...

the guys I play with like it a lot, one tribe servers rock ;)

In my opinion, if its a PVE server... increasing the rates like that makes it way to easy, since all they have to worry about are the environment/wild dinos..

They will get to end game to fast and get bored.

Also in my opinion, increased rates are for fast PvP servers.

I think peopl ewho want a better PVE experience, want to play the game for longer than 5 days...

There is no 'perfect' PVE server, this is the reason there is not one but 1 trillion servers out there, everyone prefers a at least slightly different playstyle.

Advertise your server, accept feedback about settings, set them to match with the feedback, and maybe ppl will love it.

Any answers about mods or settings here just represent the individual prefered style of the player who posted it, and thus doesnt count for everyone and thus is ONLY interesting if the player is actually playing on your server, if not, its totally useless information for you.

Why do you people all think that boosting the farm up is positive?

At 7xharvest you dont need specialized dinos any more, wich kills parts of the game. Why botther taming a doedricus when you farm faster by hand? Also you cant use farming dinos for anything else and even moving them 500 meter is a pain. One tailswing bcs a dilo attacked you and you are overloaded.

You dont safe much time anyway, you farm faster, but you spend most of your time in your inventory, dumping the ♥♥♥♥. The drop-all-button will be your best friend.

Next point, you promote gigantism. At that farm rate, people will start building BIG! I mean big like in 10 Million parts. We had a base once that took more then 2 minutes to load. Thats insane and unplayable. I mean, i arrived, picked something up, started again and the last parts of the base still werent rendered.

Been there, done that, went back to x 2 for sanity.

Difficultyoffset=1
Taming=x8 (so you can tame big dinos of lvl120 in a reasonable time without kibble)
Harvest=x6-x8 (it's okay, you can build big stone bases in not too many time and big metal bases are possible even if you play alone)
Exp=x4 (fast enough to pass the first levels quickly but not enough to brake the progression feeling in higher levels)
Egg laying= 0.2 (with 4-3 females you can gather enough eggs in a day for any tame but you won't have piles of eggs from one female at the same time, maybe just a couple of eggs if you let the egg in the floor for too long)

Thanks guys I guess my numbers were kinda over the top, it's not funny to get everything in a few hrs. I will start with lower settings and see where it goes. 8x tame 5x exp 4x harvest.

remember you can always raise rates as time goes on, lowering them ( nerfing ) on the other hand tend to get people angry ;)

[Diobolica]

x3 max xp id say

[flodoomable]

Would suggest 8X tame, 2X exp, 4X harvest. The Exp progression is also a fun run through the game. (>w0)/

Unless you switch between servers every month, I would highly suggest against Exp multipliers above 3X.

Yes you're right, I've played on a 5x exp server before and the lower levels flew by a bit too fast. For server longevity it might be better on a lower setting.
