How to Configure Per Level & Base Level Stats on your ARK Server

It is possible to configure the base-level stats for players, and per-level stats for players and dinosaurs. Each of these can be configured in Game.ini.

Each stat has an Attribute ID and Default Value which are essential for configuring your options. You can find these in the tables below.

# Player Stats

Health	0	1.0
Stamina	1	1.0
Torpidity	2	1.0
Oxygen	3	1.0

Water	5	1.0
Temperature	6	0.0 (Unused stat)
Weight	7	1.0

SpeedMultiplier	9	0.0 (Base Stat cannot be increased)
TemperatureFortitude	10	0.0 (Base Stat cannot be increased)
CraftingSpeedMultiplier	11	0.0 (Base Stat cannot be increased)

# Configuring Base Level Stats

Important

If a survivor has already been created, then their base-level stats can not be changed.

You can configure base level stats of players by heading to Game.ini and using the option PlayerBaseStatMultipliers[<AttributeID>]=<multiplier>.

Access your control panel and Stop your server.
Navigate to Files.

ARK server with the Files button highlighted

Go to /ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ and edit Game.ini.

Files menu on the right path with Engine.ini selected

If your Game.ini is empty, enter [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] at the top line of the file.
You can now enter your custom base stats into this file in the following format: PlayerBaseStatMultipliers[<AttributeID>]=<multiplier>

Example: PlayerBaseStatMultipler[0]=2.0 multiplies the health base stat by 2.

Once your changes have been made, you can Save and Start your server.

# Configuring Per Level Stats

You can configure both player and dinosaur per level stats with Game.ini. The following options are used for editing per level stats;

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[<AttributeID>]=<multiplier>
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed<type>[<AttributeID>]=<multiplier>
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[<AttributeID>]=<multiplier>

As you can see from PerLevelStatsMultipler_DinoTamed it requires a .

Type	Option	Description
No Type Given	`PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[<AttributeID>]`	Multiplier applied for each tamed level-up point.
`_Add`	`PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[<AttributeID>]`	Multiplier immediately added for tamed dinosaur.
`_Affinity`	`PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[<AttributeID>]`	Multiplier applied dependant on affinity.

Access your control panel and Stop your server.
