Single Player Server Settings

[Blaze1961]

I take it for SP we should check "use single player settings"

But do we need to put anything in "Player max experience points" if we intend on unlocking all skills? If so how how many points should I put in that setting?

Does anyone have a link to all the settings for a good solo play through that they are using?

The checkbox for single player settings is an overall balancing, it works the same way in Ark, but for Atlas we don't have the details on exactly what it changes and by how much. I recommend learning the various settings and adjusting them yourself, and leaving that box unchecked.

For skill points, it requires a change in the game.ini file in Steam\steamapps\common\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor to define the points per level. I'll paste mine below at the bottom of this post if it will let me. It's 150 lines, one for each level.

All settings can be changed in an active game, so you can adjust these as you play until it feels right for you. Some of these are on the first settings section, some are in Advanced.

I don't have all mine on hand but I recommend that you keep the difficulty at the default of 0.2 for now. The higher difficulties will give you higher level tames but it will also give you alphas at insane levels and greatly increase the difficulty of treasure map mobs. Raise it later if you choose, but I suggest at least starting with it at the default.

Change the Crop Growth Speed to 3 or so, as you won't benefit from being offline - the game stops when you do, so they only grow while you're in game.

XP Multiplier: Try 3 and see how it feels. Everyone has a different preference for how fast they want to level, some get bored if it's too fast, but those who already have a decent number of hours in the game might just want to quickly get back up to higher levels.

Harvest amount: Again, try 3 and adjust if needed. Same for taming.

I turn Player Food Drain up to 2, it helps in keeping my vitamins balanced by letting me eat more. Some use 3.

Resource respawn radius: I reduce this to 0.25. I like having trees in my yard after construction is finished.

I check the box for Disable Structure Decay PVE. Gets rid of the pesky timers that don't do much in single player anyway, and removes the fast decay from Freeport. There are no claims in Single Player, you can build anywhere you want with no upkeep required.

I think those are the only in-game settings I've changed.

Now, ini changes. In the game.ini at the location I noted above, you can add the following if you choose. Just place them after the last entry, don't leave blank lines:

bUseStaticCharacterAge=true - This keeps your character from aging.
bClampHomeServerXP=False - removes the Freeport level 8 cap.
PlayerDefaultNoDiscoveriesMaxLevelUps=150 - removes the need to explore to go past level 51. You can change the number to 75, or 100 or whatever you want if you still want some, but not so many, discoveries to be required to get to max level. Right now, you have to relog in every tile for discoveries to fire off properly, so I'm just not bothering with them at the moment.

bAllowUnlimitedRespecs=True - this setting is already in the ini file, so don't add it again, just find it and change it from false to true to unlock free unlimited respecs. Once you do this, you'll see a button on your character screen for respec.

NOW. The skill points. Here is my skill point ramp. All 150 lines, if Steam lets it go through. You can change the numbers if you want. It is retroactive, so if you add during an existing save, it will add to your available points. Paste it into the bottom of your game.ini file just like the items above:

oi, yes, much of that you have to go into the ini flie and put in what you want. You can disable the cap in start zones, get rid of the discovery block (so you can just level right up without discoveries) and many things. There is some info out there already by very helpful people just got to look for it :) I am sure info will be more and more over the weeks. Like Mano, up there. Tanks man!

[SteelFire]

Assuming this works the same as Ark... since I am just now finally remembering to add it... this is a good one to stick in your game.ini as well

HairGrowthSpeedMultiplier=0.1

Adjust that as desired, but this is what works well for me in Ark so I don't constantly feel like I need to cut my hair all the time. It still grows, just at what most of us might consider a more normal rate.

Thanks for this!(Just adding my comment here so i can find this later easily )

Edit: Would like to ask if you know of any way to change the max level of tamed dinos?

You're welcome! :) I haven't done it but I found this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1677567541

[Blaze1961]

What does the "Set max player points" in the advanced tab do? Can't we just put an amount in there and not have to edit the ini file?

No, because you still have to have the leveling "ramp" in the ini file to tell the game what the level details should be (the xp needed to achieve each level). The max player xp points just caps the total xp gained, so it should be set to the last xp amount in the leveling ramp.

[GI Ged]

THX for that.

[Blaze1961]

@Mahnogard Thanks for the detailed post. I'll give the settings a try

[GeneralZero]

Also
ClampHomeServerXPLevel=200 // set your max level character, dinos and i think for ships too ?
if you want bigger difficulty then in GameUserSettings add:
