Map Creature Population And Difficulty Level.
Greeetings,

Is there a means to increase the number of creatures on the map as well as their difficulty level (i.e., make a level 80 Rex a level 150).

More info. This map is loaded on a server. Not single player.

you can do all this with adjustments in the Gameusersettings.ini and game.ini of the Server

I have my server set with dino spawn multiplier set to 1.4 this gives 25K NPC's similar to both the centre and island maps, with difficulty set to 5.0 giving dinos upto level 150

I am running the Annunaki mod on my servers so max wild is 600 and most difficult due to their mightier dinos they made. But you have to leave server at difficulty 1 and the mod customizes it in game to somewhere around 12-15 I think. I know 35 gives you max wild 1080. 8 gives you 240. My servers are running default 1 for dino count, but like S1mplicity, I change Roraima map to about 1.5-2.0 dino count. All the other maps do pretty well with their default NPC (dinos).

I THINK to increase the dino count:

DinoCountMultiplier=1.0 (Careful with this one. Too high can cause major lag)


Difficulty:

DifficultyOffset=1.000000

Both go in gamerusersettings.ini in the [ServerSettings] section. Change the 1 to anything you may like. But be warned, Ark only recognizes around 5-8 difficulty. Anything higher I think needs a mod.
