ARK Server Settings and Rates
ARK is configured through GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini, and both are fully editable from our control panel. The rates you choose define your server's identity:
XP, Taming & Harvesting
The classic multipliers. Boosted rates build casual communities fast, while 1x–3x keeps the official-style grind for players who want to earn it.
Breeding & Imprinting
Mating interval, egg hatch speed, baby maturation, and imprint multipliers — the settings serious breeders ask about first.
Difficulty & Dinos
Difficulty offset sets max wild dino levels, and per-dino overrides let you disable or replace specific spawns across the map.
Admin Commands
Manage the server live with admin commands — our ARK admin and maintenance guide covers the essentials, from wild dino wipes to troubleshooting.
Maps, Mods and Cluster Support
Every Official Map
The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis, Ragnarok, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Lost Island, Fjordur and more — switch maps anytime with one click in the control panel.
Steam Workshop Mods
Enter mod IDs in the panel and they download and stay updated automatically. Structures Plus, Dino Storage, and full total conversions are all supported.
Cluster Support
Link multiple ARK servers so players transfer characters, items, and dinos between maps — the full official-cluster experience, on your own private terms.
Full FTP Access
Hand-edit INIs, pull world save backups, and manage mod files directly whenever you want more control than the panel exposes.
ARK Server Performance
ARK is famously heavy to host. The server simulates every wild dino, tame, and structure on the map, and leans hard on single-thread CPU speed — which is why we run high single-thread benchmark Intel and AMD CPUs with NVMe SSD storage.
