Request For Default Settings.

Recommended Posts

Default "Survivalservers" and Default Official Ark servers are not the same settings, do you have any plans to update them now that we're pretty well into EA at this point and they aren't changing as often.

I have a 1 year server and would like to make it clone Ark's Official PVE server exactly, as this is how it'll be advertised for players.

Anyone have a template I can follow or would support set this up if I ticketed?

I'm a little surprised the Default settings aren't a match over a year into the game :(

I agree and I was equally surprised that I couldn't find the default settings easily.

 

I did notice recently that if you go into launching/hosting a game locally that you can click a button and see the default settings.  However it doesn't address everything and i'm not entirely certain they are exactly what is given in a PVE Official.  It might be a good place to start though.  Just go into host/launch and then click the Ark Rules button on the top of the left panel.  I think that will be at least close...

 

Good Luck.

There are quite a few things, one of them though is Max character levels, exp for the levels, Max dino levels, and how many levels you can add to your dino after taming.

I believe the taming rates/mating ect are also off, but would need to do further research to confirm...

Does Ark not provide any info for server hosts about default settings? Where did you come up with the initial settings you are using?

I started a server in the past and advertised default settings and a week in the community collapsed because people complained about settings that were not default ark, I didn't write them all down though I just gave up on that. But I'd really like to come back to the game and want to do "Default" properly this time.

Ps: I know we can edit the levels using your control panel, but for every setting that is not default its added work, and people wanting "Default" ark servers shouldn't have to go out of their way to get them :(

Ah, you've apparently updated since the last time I made the server... the settings weren't default at that time for player levels or dino levels.

I'll look through the rest tomorrow after work before I host the server, I appreciate you updating them.

If anyone know's anything that isn't an exact match for the current version of ark for PVE official servers please point them out :).

So I'm curious how the extra Tek levels work, should unofficial servers be capping levels at 100 and through finishing each of the teck difficulties (Gamma, beta, alpha) ect.. you unlock 5 extra levels per difficulty which works in a different way from just gaining exp.  Or do we need to have cap at 115?

If the game does it in a different way for the last 15 levels, then you may have to re adjust the max character levels back to 100 instead of the 115 you changed it to.

Also Dino levels before and currently are off, so default difficulty is 5 I'm not sure if you changed that yet but I use an override command for my server to change it to 5. Which makes max wild dino level 150 (same as official) After you tame a wild dino however, default servers let you level it 71 additional times, your default is 67 times.

Also have you looked into what the defaults are for harvesting since the patch where they gave the option to change individual harvested items? For example increasing the fiber you get from harvesting berries?. Because I noticed on default servers you get more fiber than you used to, I wonder if on default they've edited some of these settings. Currently all of yours are at 1

Also do engram points still match official?

Tldr:
* Player levels may need to be tweaked back to 100 depending on how Tek levels work
*Dino levels are wrong, you should be able to level 71 times after taming, currently you have 67
*Default server difficulty should be 5, Not sure if you are still 4 or not I use an override.
*May need to look into Harvest rates and Engram-per-level distribution

Also note that http://ark.gamepedia.com/ARK_Survival_Evolved_Wiki  is very outdated in many of the things they list.  And by "very outdated" I mean inaccurate for over a year... When The Center came out it was released at difficulty 5 and wild dino max level was 150, very shortly after they changed The Island default to Difficulty 5 (150 wild dino level).   Regardless of that though the Ark wiki claims that it's still 4 for The island, and 5 for The Center and this is 13 months old... sigh

This is really something you guys should ask the Devs for, shouldn't be hard to get them to simply post the defaults, and makes changes to their post when they change them.

I'd really like a truly default server.



Ps: Despite the mean looking cup of coffee avatar, non of these requests are intended to come off in a negative way, and I appreciate all your support in making Ark server hosting more easily available to the public.

 Month old yeah I know, but dino max levels is still wrong (71 now) and these are wrong as well:

 

Tamed Dinosaur Health

Tamed Dinosaur Melee Damage

Tamed Dinosaur Add Health

Tamed Dinosaur Add Melee Damage

Tamed Dinosaur Perfect Affinity Health

Tamed Dinosaur Perfect Affinity Melee

 

Correct Values are:

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0]=0.20

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[8]=0.17

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[0]=0.14

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[8]=0.14

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[0]=0.44

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[8]=0.44

 

My sources are the wiki, a config generated for SP with default settings, and Ark Server Manager default settings.
