Introduction
Since there is no Auto-Unlock mod yet I have created a solution for everyone on Singleplayer wanting to have every engram at once without using mindwipes or collecting blueprints. Veteran ini people may be used to this but people newer to this might not know about it.

So... What are ini settings?

They are settings in your game files you can manually change. Some you can change ingame and some lines can be added through the files to enhance your experience beyond what is normally possible. In ASE they were way easier to find but despite some different paths they still exist in ASA.
The file path
You need to follow this exact path inorder to not screw up your game and possibly cause crashes.
steam > steamapps > common > Ark Survival Ascended > ShooterGame > Saved > Config > Windows
Setting it up
In the windows folder you will find multiple text documents and I recommend not to alter them before propper testing is done.

The document we will need is the "Game" file. Open it and scroll down until you find either (depends on your settings):
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=False
or
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True

next copy and paste this exact code directly under it:

OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=1000



What does it do?

It changes the distribution of engram points per level. In this instance it changes it to give the player 1.000 engram points for every of the first 10 levels, giving more than enough for every engram currently in the game without having to collect every blueprint or having to use a mindwipe.

At level 3:


At level 4:


Enjoy, Schiff

У меня вообще там я качаюсь энграммы получаю и с 70-х уровнях я либо не получаю энграмм либо получаю но там максимум 6, эта хрень ломает игру.

Setting that up is a bit more complicated but doable. My code sets it up in a way that it will give you enough for everything in the first 10 levels. If you want to just have enough for every level you would have to add "OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=[?]" for every single level up until the last engram unlock (Lvl. 95 I believe?). So you`ll have to paste it 94 times and then calculate the engram points you need for every new level and unlockable engrams. For level 2 that would be 9 points so in your first "OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=[?]" you would have to put 9 (OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=9). Replicate this for every level and youll have just enough for every engram when reaching the last unlockable engram

I would like to adjust my single player engram points per level in order to unlock everything but I don't want it all at once like this.

As I understand it, you normally have to use a mindwipe tonic because not enough engram points exist to unlock everything. I would like it to still be a progression but have enough points to unlock everything so when I reach the max level in the tree, I have just enough to unlock the last thing. How would I set this up?

I would think someone has figured this out. Otherwise, I have to go through and count up all of the points and figure out a way to do it myself that isn't too overpowered.

Schiffbaer2 I had a save before even reading this guide

Hello! On the contrary, I want to make it more difficult to obtain engrams,but I can't do it.
In the old version the script looked like this: OverrideNamedEngramEntries0=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MetalPick_C",EngramPointsCost=500)
You don't know what he looks like in the new one?

Important mention: You might need to create a save beforehand for these files to be even available

how tf do people think this is a virus, its just a change to the game's ini file

Or an easier approach, add this line to Game.ini

bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true

Unlocks all engrams for every level up
