To address recently fixed exploits that allowed items and creatures to exceed their intended levels and quality, we performed a one-time wipe of items and creatures affected by that exploit on the Official Network and implemented a new cap.

To support fairness and balance, enforcement measures are also taking place. Thank you for your patience as we work to maintain an even playing field and an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Dino Wipe and New Cap Info

New Configs in GameUserSettings.ini with Official Server defaults

• [ServerSettings]
  • MaxBlueprintDinoLevel = 300 // Only for Meks and Enforcers when spawned.
  • MaxBlueprintDinoQuality = 200 // Only for Mek/Enforcer blueprints and Enforcer spawner items
  • MaxBlueprintItemQuality = 200 // For all items/blueprints.
  • MaxBlueprintScoutQuality = 2000 // For Scout weapon and blueprint.

Command line options

• -ForceClampItemQuality
  • Forces item quality cap for blueprints. Use on unofficial if you want item quality cap for spawned and tinkered items.
  • These use the above configs to cap.
• -ForceWipeTinkerExploit
  • Forces the wipe logic below on boot any time this command is present. Intended to run with this command once and remove it afterward.
  • This also forces the new settings above to Official server values by default unless they are overridden in the GameUserSettings.ini configurations.

One-time wipe of the following:

• All Mek and Enforcers above level 300.
• All Scout weapons and blueprints above quality of 2000.
• All other items and blueprints above quality of 200.

Ongoing caps that are going to be in place:

• Cap all Meks and Enforcers to level 300 when crafted/constructed.
• Cap all Scout blueprints to a max quality of 2000 when spawned or tinkered.
• Cap all other blueprints to a max quality of 200 when spawned or tinkered.

Notes

• If MaxBlueprintDinoLevel is set to anything above zero, it will cap the level of Meks and Enforcers to that value.
• Mek and Enforcer levels on blueprints will still show above the capped level in the UI(300 on official), they will only cap when constructed.

• Gachas will become unhappy within caves
  • Developer Note: These changes aim to address concerns about the impact of Gacha farms, particularly its tendency to encourage the use of scripts and bots for competitive advantage. This aligns with our focus on creating more opportunities for players to both defend and attack valuable targets outside of caves. We recognize the value players placed on the element income provided by Gachas and hope the Pegomastax’s new ability, reduced spacing requirements between Gacha pairs, and increased element rewards from bosses across all maps, will help offset the increased risk of maintaining Gacha farms.
  • Unofficial server owners can override this with “ForceGachaUnhappyInCaves=false” in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
• Added a config for unofficial server owners to override the cooldown for Armadoggo to reappear after taking fatal damage (in seconds), default is set to 1 hour. Must be greater than 0.
  • “ArmadoggoDeathCooldown=3600” in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
• Additional Server related params/config options for using a “usestore” save system which combines player profiles, tribe data, and the world save into one single file. Note: This is not new, but not previously documented to our knowledge and what we use on our Official Network.
  • -converttostore (imports the current player and tribe data into the .ark save file)
    • Run with -converttostore -usestore and then the next time you relaunch, you should not need -converttostore as all the data will be integrated.
    • Important to note: .arkprofile & .arktribe files are not automatically deleted after conversion so should be deleted manually if you want to save storage space.
  • -usestore (utilizes a different saving method that stores player and tribe data inside of save files)
    • Important to note: when rolling back save data simply do as normal and all the arkprofile and arktribe data will be in sync with the backup save already.
