(Fixed Location area Spawns - bypasses the default random Shrine spawn method below)

Default Normal Settings (For normal base levels and Non-Annunaki servers):
Copy below settings to after the end of your server's GameUserSettings.ini file and edit the default values.

  • Important: Set a Num setting to -1 (Not 0) if to completely Disable the spawn.
  • Scroll down to bottom of page for recommended Annunaki / high level settings instead.

Explanation of Server Settings:
  1. NumWildGodling:
    Controls Wild Normal (lv 1-200) Godlings/Goddess spawn count per type, Min 1, Max 50. Or put -1 to disable / stop this spawn.
  2. NumWildElder:
    Controls Wild Elite (lv 300-600+) Elder Godlings/Goddess spawn count per type, Min 1, Max 50. Or put -1 to disable / stop this spawn.
    Recommend use "2" if using Annunaki or similar tough dino mods.
    (Disable all Elders if playing normal or non-Annunaki servers)
  3. NumWildPuppet:
    Controls Wild Puppet spawn count, Min 1, Max 200. Or put -1 to disable / stop this spawn.
  4. NumWildElderPuppet:
    Controls Wild Elder Puppet (lv 300-600+) spawn count, Min 1, Max 100. Or put -1 to disable / stop this spawn. (Disable if non-Annunaki)
  5. NumWildPuppetMaster:
    Controls Wild Elite Boss (Untameable) Puppet Master spawn count, Min 1, Max 5. Or put -1 to disable / stop this spawn.
  6. NumFallen:
    Controls Wild Fallen Valkyries spawn count, Min 1, Max 10. Or put -1 to disable / stop this spawn. This is the toughest and strongest tameable type, low chance to drop Divine Armor.
  7. NumElderFallen:
    Controls Wild Elder Fallen Valkyries spawn count, Min 1, Max 10. Or put -1 to disable / stop this spawn. This is the toughest and strongest tameable type. Elder is higher base level and difficulty, low chance to drop Divine Armor.
  8. NumFireBoss:
    Min 0, Max 2. Untameable Fire God boss, may drop Divine Armor.
  9. NumDarkBoss:
    Min 0, Max 1. Untameable Strongest Dark God boss, better chance drop Divine Armor.

  10. No...Godling/Puppet/Goddess: These control disabling of specific mod creature types from spawning in wild. Default False will not disable any spawns. True will stop that type from spawning.
  11. RespawnTime: Default / Min 900.0 sec (or 15 mins). Increase it for longer respawn intervals for all wild creatures of this mod.
  12. NoTameGodlings: Default False allows taming of wild Godlings/Goddess. Changing to True will block all godlings from being tameable.
  13. NoWildAggro: False will allow all wild Dragons to attack players and be aggressive. True will make them passive until attacked first.
  14. NoWildAggroP: Same like previous but this controls for wild Puppets and Master instead.
  15. NoMidasMsg: Default False will announce a screen message to the lucky person's tribemates if won a rare bonus roll when Midas upgrading. Set True to squelch this notification.
  16. MidasNerf: Control the quality increase from upgrading with Midas Touchs. Upgrade quality amount divides by this value, so setting >1.0 will nerf and make it upgrade less. <1.0 will raise make it upgrade bigger. But to disable all Midas upgrading, put negative number like: -1.0.
  17. MidasDupe: Default 0 means no duplicated items are given from Midas, value of 1 means rare ten percent chance to duplicate, value of 2 means always duplicate items.
  18. DisableTekDrops = 0 (Change to 1 to disable all Tek Drops/Engrams from defeating bosses.)

Recommended Settings for Annunaki Genesis Servers or high starting base level dino mods
Spawns higher base level mobs and enables god bosses.

how about on singleplay its removing the lines out of the gameusersettings.ini
YMD  [developer] Jun 7, 2016 @ 3:12pm 
@GhostOFabian Singleplayer has a different gameusersettings.ini location. Are you sure you got the right one? Anyway even if you don't put or write any settings in your ini, it would just use the defaults stored in the mod. Entirely optional, use only if you want to edit defaults.

We installed your mod on our server last night. My boyfriend built the god shrine, but we seem to be having trouble with spawns. There hasnt been any mods spawning at all. He was wondering if the mod should be placed in a certain spot in the priority list. He put it second, first being the annunaki mod. Do you recommend running the suggested settings you posted above? The pack seems to be working except for spawns. We did the God Scan numerous times and nothing.
YMD  [developer] Jun 8, 2016 @ 10:10am 
@solmarie_b Any load order is fine, doesnt matter. Sometimes ther is something go wrong when loading into server, like bad config or bad files. Have you tested in singleplayer? then you'll know if its your server config
GhostOFabian Jun 8, 2016 @ 10:44am 
D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\gameusersettings.ini thats that Path

do i have to write a line on top of that because some mods have that.

plus im also using annunaki genisis. but atm the godlings are not spawing but i have the god shrine in my base so i guess the mod is working
YMD  [developer] Jun 8, 2016 @ 2:42pm 
@GhostOFabian Wrong path. That is singleplayer. You will want your server's one.
_Wolf_ Jun 9, 2016 @ 9:21am 
Hey Pegi, is there a way to control the overall levels of the Elder gods? The highest level we have on our server is 300, so Not wanting anything above that.
YMD  [developer] Jun 9, 2016 @ 10:48am 
@_Wolf_ No it's not possible thru settings. Best you can do is disable their spawns completely, since they start from lvl 300. Using normal godlings should be enuff, their levels can range from 1 - 200. And they will scale with difficulty+ mods that scale your max dino levels.

Do NOT put it with [ServerSettings] section inside the ini file.
Make an empty new line at the bottom of the file, then paste my new section [JoanGodMod].
Just follow the recommended for normal, disable elders. Your normal godlings will scale with the difficulty 34+ mod.
