This guide explains how to change difficulty level on your ark server by editing GameUserSettings.ini file.
How to change server settings:
- Login to your game panel here
- Select the server you want to work on
- Navigate to "Files" tab
- Navigate to "ShooterGames/Saved/Config/LinuxServer"
- Open "GameUserSettings.ini" file
- Add following lines to your file
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 - Click "Save"
- Restart the server
NOTE:
DifficultyOffset is a multiplier applied to the official difficulty. Because of this, it is recommended to set the DifficultyOffset to 1.0 because it makes it easier to calculate the difficulty value you wish to use (the default value is 0.2, which makes it harder to calculate).
The OverrideOfficialDifficulty value can be between 1.0 and 10.0. This value should be set to your maximum desired level, divided by 30. For example, if you want your max level to be 300, then set this value to 10 (300 / 30 = 10).
