Changing Gathering, taming and xp multipliers on your ARK server

Print
  • 216

Gathering, taming, and XP multipliers are common ARK server settings. They are stored in GameUserSettings.ini under the [ServerSettings] section.

Common multiplier settings

SettingWhat it changes
HarvestAmountMultiplierHow many resources players receive when harvesting. 2.0 means 2x gathering.
TamingSpeedMultiplierHow quickly creatures tame. Higher values make taming faster.
XPMultiplierHow quickly players and creatures gain XP.

Edit GameUserSettings.ini

  1. Open your ARK server in the control panel.
  2. Stop the server before editing configuration files.
  3. Click Configuration Files.
  4. Open GameUserSettings.ini with the config editor or text editor.
  5. Find the [ServerSettings] section.
  6. Add or update the multiplier values you want.
  7. Save the file, then start the server again.

Example:

[ServerSettings]
HarvestAmountMultiplier=2.0
TamingSpeedMultiplier=3.0
XPMultiplier=2.0

If the values do not apply

Confirm the settings are in [ServerSettings], then restart the server again. Use decimal values and avoid very large numbers until you have tested them, as extreme multipliers can make progression or taming behave badly.
