Changing the platform multipliers on your ARK server

Print
  • 58

Platform multipliers control how many structures can be placed on platform saddles and rafts. Increase these carefully, as very high values can affect performance.

  1. Open your ARK server in the control panel.
  2. Click Configuration Files.
  3. Open GameUserSettings.ini with Text Editor or Config Editor.

    ARK GameUserSettings.ini Config Editor

  4. Add or edit these values under [ServerSettings]:
    PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=2.0
    MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit=100
  5. Click Save & Exit, then restart the server.

SettingWhat it does
PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplierMultiplies the normal platform structure limit. For example, 2.0 allows roughly twice the usual amount.
MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimitSets a direct structure limit for platform saddles and similar platform builds. Use moderate values to avoid performance issues.

If players build large platform bases, monitor server performance after increasing these values. Very high platform limits can increase save size and cause lag around large mobile bases.
