enough Skillpoints in Singleplayer?

[PaXeR]

I dont like to play with other Players ... i am a Sologamer in Survivalgames.

I startet playing a while ago and stopped, becourse i realized, that i cannot get enough Skills together, to build everything.

Do they fixed it until now, so that you can skill unlimeted on a Singelplayer-Game?

You need to shepherd your points and get BPs from air drops. There are certain things that never drop (grill, generator, etc) but many other expensive items that do. All the metal building BPs, smithy, forge, frabricator, all the electrical cables, all the metal irrigation, med crop plots (en masse), water jars (en masse), compass (en masse) so don't get those.

Thats a fantastic tipp ... Thank you very much!!!!

You'll need to be patient or adopt a strategy of flying around to air drops harvesting them. I'd recommend never getting a BP till you have a demonstrated need for it. Never get one simply because you foresee a need.

If you do that you'll have plenty of points.

Is there a "built" out there for a singleplayer game?

[Romen]

You could edit the GamesSettings.ini file for your single player and increase the number of engram points you get each level, though there isn't a simple, nice user interface for it. (There is one for servers, and I guess you could use it to modify the server version then cop it over to the single player location - called ARK Server Manager.)

As people mentioned there are blueprint for a lot of stuff, and for stuff with stats the BPs are generally a lot better than the engram versions. They don't have BPs for everything yet, though I imagine they will eventually add it for most of them. The most noticable thngs missing are the stone building ones.

Basicallt I learn the engrams for stuff I want to make out in the field, so I don't have to carry blueprints around with me and risk losing them if I die and can't recover my stuff. Also there probably is no point getting engrams for stuff that require a fabricatory or smithy since you aren't able to craft those in the field anyway (at least not until you can have a buildable saddle on a bronto and could take one with you). I have gotten ones that I didn't have BPs for yet and needed to have right away though.

If you do it right you not only can build everything you need eventually, but you will probably have lots of points left over, whihc is good since they are still introducing new things.

Do as belthize wrote or take control yourself when and if needed via console commands.

Until the developers get around (if they ever do) balancing out the local mode game play,
the tools to 'fix' this sort of issue is all in your hands already via console admin commands
and ini file tweaks and or game set up sliders.

Example. My character is 74 with no more engram points to spend.
They add a vital new component, canteen.

I could play for weeks and never find the blueprint OR

I could just give one via console , blueprint or canteen, and deduct a penalty
I make up such as throwing away x amount of steel and other resources to
compensate for my dastardly 'cheat'.

So on and so forth.
Not playing single because the developers have not balanced the game would be
foolish when tools are there already for me to fix to my needs when and if I decide
to fix (aka cheat).

[TheKazz]

Yeah if you dont want to try to collect blueprints then you can add strings (lines) to your .ini file that will give you more engrams per level

[Myst?c]

edit in your config how many points you get per a lvl, please note things like guns, grenades, c4, are pretty much useless in single player, as a crossbow pretty much does more damage to a dino than a gun will, and the ammo expense is just huge

[PaXeR]

You guys are awesome! Thank you

[Jynn]

Also don't have to learn things you know you'll never use, like saddles for things you don't intend to ride or metal walls of you don't plan to build in metal

[PaXeR]

Is it enough for a Singleplayer to build wooden stuff? I nerver built in metal so far.

[Jynn]

I have been fine building into stone and have plenty of spare points to spend :)

There is an ini file you can add lines to in the shootergame folder that allows you to add levels, change engram gains per level, and so on. This is the same set of commands that Admins use to make custom settings in their unofficial servers.

Right now I have my SP game set to 100 player levels, easily enough engram points for everything as well as upcoming stuff at that level, Dinos can increase 100 levels and dino experience cap is 200000 (as opposed to 100000 vanilla cap) so that it takes longer to do so.

Basically, for SP, go to Steamapps - common - ARK - ShooterGame - Saved - Config - WindowsNoEditor

If there is a "Game.ini" file in there, that's where you put the commands. If there isn't one, just create it.

Then go to the following link for changing level cap and such (and a whole lot of other stuff), add the commands to that Game.ini file. All the changes are retroactive, so if you are max level and decide to increase the engram distribution per level gain, you will receive the points for the previous levels. So on and so forth. Just make sure you have [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] at the top of the ini file, and all the changes below that line.
http://ark.gamepedia.com/Server_Configuration

If you want, these are my settings - just copy and paste them into that ini file at the location I specified:

There is also a mod out there that's actually pretty amazing for pure solo gameplay. Called "Stratera Vis" lets you level to 80 currently, with enough ep to buy all engrams, and dino rebalances. you could look into that and see if it's something you are interested in.
