Local/Private Server: Any way to make tamed dinos invincible?

[vertigoelectric]

My wife and I play ARK on a private LAN game that I host, and I make modifications to the game as we see fit. I'm wondering if there is any way to make our tamed creatures invulnerable (but not the wild ones, of course). Is there a file I can modify or a console/server command I can use for this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Bonus question: The tamed dinos frequently find themselves stuck on trees. Often it is difficult to chop down the tree without hurting the dino. This is one of the reasons we would like to make our dinos invulnerable, but other than that, is there any fool proof, safe way to free our dinos from the trees? Again, console commands would be acceptable.

Let the dinos destroy the trees if you have saddles for them, or disable friendly fire. That will stop you from hurting any allied dinosaurs. As for making them completely invulnerable, you could try modifying their toughness values or use cheat codes, but I feel like that takes away a lot of the fun.

first of all, sry for my bad engl.

U dont need incincible tamed dinos, because, if u give at them armor (sandle) they are pretty tanky.
I really dont know how u get frequently dinos stuck on trees, i have over 300 hours just happen 1 time.
Anyway be carefull when u have many dinos on fallow u, and u walk in the forest, just track a way where arent trees everywhere.

nice englisho

Thanks for the quick response. The saddle idea is a good one. That will work for most of the creatures. Thanks.

Do you know how I could increase the toughness of our tamed dinos? I don't know a console command or config file line for that particular thing. I suppose I could try researching further, but if you could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

As for "taking away the fun", when I play games like this with my wife we like it to be a very casual experience. I've already disabled the need for food and water. I want her to just be able to explore, craft, tame, and enjoy the island and its creatures without stress. I know it sounds weird, but it is what it is, haha XD. She gets really frustrated when she takes the time to tame a dino only for it to get killed later. Heh....

It's probably related to the resource respawn time that I have modified. Dinos are probably just walking around and get a tree spawned on them. I find a lot of wild dinos stuck on trees, too... quite a lot, actually... and on large rocks, too. I don't mind the wild ones getting stuck quite so much, makes taming them easier because they can't run away or attack me, hahaha...

Not sure how to do it permanent but hop on a dino, open the console (tab) type infinitestats or cheat infinitestats (if dedicated) You can do god also - just god or cheat god (if dedicated) That will make it impossible to kill them until the server is restarted. Infinitestats will keep their health/food/stamina/oxygen from going down but they can die if they fall off a large cliff. God will prevent them from dying from a fall but if used without infinitestats, they can still drown

Honestly, unless you have increased player damage, the occasional chop from your axe or pickaxe when taking down the tree shouldn't cause them much damage. That said, the only ways to get something similar to what you are asking (that I know of) would be to increase the amount of health tamed dino's get when they level or you could also hop on the dino with a saddle and use the console command to make them temporarily invincible.

Hey Vertigoelectric,
so, disable the respawn, like default.
then i have a little solution for your dinos, mount them (E) e then in console: fly
u can fly with your dinos, e unstuck them.
honor me late dude

[Chashmodai]

There's no setting for just your tamed dinos. You can increase the resistance and health recovery speed of dinos, but I assume that affects wild dinos too.

DinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=1.0
Higher value means faster health recovery.

DinoResistanceMultiplier=1.0
Higher value means lower resistance, i.e. DinoResistanceMultiplier=0.5 means double the resistance(taking half as much damage) and DinoResistanceMultiplier=2.0 means half the resistance(taking double as much damage).

Hmmmm... a couple of things:

What about dinos you cannot mount, such as dilos or even dodos? The little ones are the ones that die the easiest.

Also, won't implementing the God command also make us players invincible as well? I don't know if I want us to be invincible.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate it!

I understand, a friend of mine gets very attached to his dinos, it is upsetting to see them die. If you have cheats enabled then when riding on a dinosaur

cheat infinitestats

will make them immortal and have no hunger or stamina or anything, but you will likely have to redo it when the server restarts. As for server commands, I'm not sure if the dino toughness multiplier affects wild dinos or only tamed, but here are a few options you could try.

in Game.ini

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
bPvEDisableFriendlyFire=true

in GameUserSettings.ini

[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=0 (0 to 1 I believe, 1 being max difficulty and wild dino level)
DinoDamageMultiplier=0.5 (or whatever, reduces wild damage)
TamedDinoResistanceMultiplier=0.5 (lower = more resistance)

I've not used the resistance and damage code myself, but they should be along the lines of what you want. Modify values accordingly. You could also change max exp values and exp scaling so you could out level the other dinos.

[vertigoelectric]

Hmmmm... maybe I can use the 'give experience' console command on the tamed dinos to give them a ton of exp and simply increase their health to an exorbitant amount. Of course, that means I won't be able to allow the dinos to level up naturally. I'd have to sacrifice that.

I'm sure we'll think of something! Maybe the devs can add in a command for it.

Not much you can do about the little ones that I know of. If you're mounted on a dino, the command typed goes to the mount, not you. You can check by opening the console fully (hit tab again) and it will say god on or off when you type it

[vertigoelectric]

So...

TamedDinoResistanceMultiplier=0.5 (lower = more resistance)

Theoretically, if I set this to 0, wouldn't that effectively provide 100% resistance, and thus make them invulnerable to physical damage?

Yes, that is correct. Theoretically.

This also affects(afaik) wild dinos.

It does? The command itself implies it only affects tamed dinos.

Anyway, I'm going to test it now.

I didn't see this command in the file, so I simply added it.
