Customizing Server Rates:
Embark on a journey of personalized Ark adventures by harnessing the user-friendly power of ASAM. This guide is designed to demystify the process of customizing server rates, allowing you to craft your perfect Ark experience.

Step 01: Navigating ASAM with Precision

Upon launching ASAM, your first task is to pinpoint the specific section you want to edit. Whether it's taming speed, XP gain, or resource harvesting rates, ASAM simplifies the configuration process. Take a moment to ensure that you accurately fill out the input boxes, as any errors could impact your gameplay.

Once you've fine-tuned your server settings to perfection, hit the all-important "Save" button. This action commits your changes, ensuring that your customized rates are applied to your Ark server.

WARNING: For those brave souls diving into the intricacies of GameUserSettings/Game.ini, exercise caution. Always apply your settings on the main pages first. The "Save" button within the editors operates independently and can, unfortunately, undo all your hard work. Protect your progress by adhering to this crucial step.

With your configurations saved, you're now ready to unleash your personalized Ark server on the gaming world. Start your server with confidence, knowing that ASAM has transformed the often complex task of server rate adjustment into a straightforward and enjoyable experience.
