When it says change difficulty does it mean keep difficulty to 1 and then override official difficulty to 5 (regarding the examples that are made)

why aren't gigas spawning and some other dinos aswell????

Also don't forget to do a wild dino wipe to remove the old ones with higher levels so the new ones can spawn in (although it will take a little time for all of them to spawn). You don't have to do it but the probability of for example a lvl 1200 rex surviving and killing everything else is there.

Answer to Your_Phat_Stepmom:

I don't know for 100% if this is the solution but if you have min 50 and max 300 then you should get ingame minimum level 50*5=250 and maximum level 300*5=1500. On most maps the difficulty setting is 5 if you have turned the difficulty level: slider in Ark rules - general (before loading on a map) to 1 (i believe max is 4 on the island). you can also check and change this easier in GameUserSettings which is described in the mod how to find that. you override it by typing OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 under [ServerSettings] in the GameUserSettings. Make sure there isnt any other OverrideOfficialDifficulty=? where ? is another number (or same number).


Basically if you have set it up correctly (with OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 under [ServerSettings]) your MinLevel= should be 10 (10*5=50) and MaxLevel= should be 60 (60*5=300). So MinLevel=10 and MaxLevel=60.


If you still have problem you can add me so I can send screenshots of how I have it set up.

ok I need some help before I have to give myself a lobotomy. I’ve been messing around with this trying to get it to work I’ve read how to use the mod but I’m getting nowhere. Im trying to get Dino’s to spawn between 50 or so and 300 but I can’t seem to get it right I have it set at min 50 and max 300 but I’m getting Dino’s over lvl 1000. Anyone know where I’m going wrong?

Anyone else still not seeing dinos above level 110 or so when using the default settings? I installed and its better than before, but i still havent found anything close to max.

if i want min level 100 and maximum lvl 150 on override difficulty 5 what settings should i use

How would the UE 5.5 Patch break Evolved?

Its the Patch. Have had the same Problem with something else. For me, the Mod should still work because I didnt deleted the .ini, and I had the tweaks in it before that UE Update. so it isnt the Mod causing the Problem

yeah right now this mods doesnt seem to work. I have had it installed for ages and it always worked for me. But since the UE5.5 patch, and me deleting the Gameuser file, when ever i modify the ini file and save it, it gets rewritten on startup with the changes gone.

Dont know if its me, the mod or the UE patch that screwed up but yeah

I installed this mod, hopped on the Island but as much as it try it wont work. only random levels, no matter where in the list i put this mod. it isnt working. hopefully someone can help me.

am I supposed to copy and paste the ini files, I don't see the section in the files already

im using bisecthosting, if anyone else is using it, you have to copy and paste the stuff into ur server settings

how do you open it?

Does this mod affect the quality of loot from lootdrops, have been searching for a rex saddle for some days now. All I get is loot like c4, gps, gates and bluepritns like that.

I am just gonna add this here for everyone having an issue with wyverns being treated like normal dinos for the custom MinDrakeLevel and MaxDrakeLevel. If you are only getting 150 and below wyverns, you need to get rid of Classic Flyers. The variant it creates is not supported by this mod and you dont need it anyways if you use krakens which most of us do.

I am on Fjordur and getting 120-150 lvl lightning wyverns in the crag, and with these settings the minimum should be 175..
I have
DifficultyOffset=1.00
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.000000

[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=22.000
MaxLevel=30.000
WantsEqualLevels=True
WantsRagLevels=False
WantsHighLevels=False
MinDrakeLevel=35.0
MaxDrakeLevel=45.0
PreventTitan=True
PreventBee=True
MinDeinonLevel=35.000000
MaxDeinonLevel=45.000000


and in Game.ini
MaxDifficulty=False

I have used DestroyWildDinos several times, tried flipping some booleans back and forth and many different number combos and my wyverns are still capped at 150 and spawning in basically at the same levels as any other dino in the game. please.. What am I doing wrong.?

AMAZING MOD HAVE HAD NO ISSUES AND STILL WORKS PERFECTLY IN 2025!!

Deleted previous comment because I fixed the issue, but now I can't play more than 30 seconds before the game crashes, which has never been an issue before

Hello, I just installed this mod on my single player and with Dino count set to 1.0 and the mod being default (Equalize, all ranges) I am seeing a lot more dinos and like 5 alphas in one area. Is this normal?

When I downloaded this mod to a server, it actually gave the mod folders the wrong name/ID, so they weren't working. This was in ShooterGame\Content\Mods, and instead of showing as 2182894352, the ID was -211....... after renaming the folder to 2182894352 and the other file to 2182894352.mod, it began acting normally

also where it says ARK > ShooterGame > Saved > Config > Windows to find that file. When you open that file, locate the section called [CustomLevelDistrib]. when i open the GameUserSettings file it does not show the [CustomLevelDistrib] anywhere so even if i wanted to change do i just need to copy/paste any of the setups in there?

guys maube a stupid question but the mod says in the description that if u dont do anything when it comes to the ini files the mod will be default settings,. so it will be the same as the setup for using equalized levels,. where it says u dont have to do anything cause its the default mod setting,. but everytime i find a server with this mod even when i pick 1 of the 3 easy starting places i only see high level dinos like 150+ or even 200 when im just lvl 1 is that normal?

Is OverrideOfficialDifficulty 5 changing somtheing with this mod?

I just got this mod, I understood everything except for these 4 lines which I can't find information on anywhere else, what do they mean?

LowWeight=0.500000
MediumWeight=0.250000
HighWeight=0.100000
TinyWeight=1.000000

What is the line information to set levels for tek and wyverns as they have a different max level than normal dinos in the vanilla settings?

Can I get away with only adding the minimum level and nit setting the max, as shown below?

[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=1.000000
WantsEqualLevels=False
WantsRagLevels=True
WantsHighLevels=False

I see how to set a custom range of what levels to spawn, but is it possible to make it so that only specific levels spawn? ie: on max difficulty, dinos can only spawn as lvl 50, 100, or 150?

i set both the min and max dificult to spawm at level 150, it works perfectly fine, exept that tek dinos dont spawn anymore, how do i solve this?

yeah, the maximum level at which the dinos appear is 120, any solution??
((I've been playing Scorched Earth)

okay so i used this mod and it works perfectly but ive noticed that my max dino that are spawning are only level 120 and not 150 , what should i do in that situation

I am using this mod on my server, Great thx.
With this mod i was able to set the max Tamable lvl of dinos to 150, and Wild dinos up to whatever i want (right now its 450) This is what my server settings was missing.

Still works has of October 2024

Is there a way to disable certain dino spawns?

If you set MaxDeinonLevel, the Dinopithecus' level will also increase.

ULTIMATE ARK how ?

It works use Chat Gpt and if you have some skills you will get there

it randomly stop working for me

thank you, good mod

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me a one to one call on how to do this properly as I haven't a clue what I'm doing. It would mean the world if someone helped :)

mod doesnt work dont waste your time. ive done every fix people have said works i got the ini files done right for no change in levels

how to i use this

Hi so silly question if I change the override difficulty in my server and put in the mod do I need to reset it to default or is it fine to continue?

when I open the the gameusersettings.ini under customleveldistrib I onlyhave lines for minlevel, maz level. and wnats equal levels. After that it goes straight into a bunch of other options none of which are the ones that I am supposed to change from true or false.

you have just saved my life. I thank you with every fiber of my body

Slim Jim dat iz mah birthday-

Hopefuly it is a good mod.

Great mods! Works perfect for the story maps like Island. Still works as of 5/17/2024

Not working for me, its all in the ini file when i configure it to rag levels the way it is explained in "using the ini configs" it still doesnt work idk dinos spawn at normal lvls

What is MediumWeight, LowWeight, etc? and how to configure it

I activated the mod and my safe got corrupted, I cant start any single player games, even when i uninstall the mod i get a notifaction about something with low levels i couldnt copy the text, Could someone help me?

does anyone have a link to a video walk through ? I am practically disabled when it comes to computers and I don't understand how the files work. I don't want to mess up my game, I just want higher levels on island. This seems to be the only mod that serves my goal however.

Does this work with dedicated servers? Wondering if it's okay to use until genesis part 2.
