DayCycleSpeedScale | Specifies the scaling factor for the passage of time in the ARK, controlling how often day changes to night and night changes to day. The default value 1 provides the same cycle speed as the singleplayer experience (and the official public servers). Values lower than 1 slow down the cycle; higher values accelerate it. Base time when value is 1 appears to be 1 minute real time equals approx. 28 minutes game time. Thus, for an approximate 24 hour day/night cycle in game, use .035 for the value. |
NightTimeSpeedScale | Specifies the scaling factor for the passage of time in the ARK during night time. This value determines the length of each night, relative to the length of each day (as specified by DayTimeSpeedScale. Lowering this value increases the length of each night. |
DayTimeSpeedScale | Specifies the scaling factor for the passage of time in the ARK during the day. This value determines the length of each day, relative to the length of each night (as specified by NightTimeSpeedScale. Lowering this value increases the length of each day. |

A value of 0.5 results in a dino taking half damage while a value of 2.0 would result in a dino taking double normal damage. |
StructureResistanceMultiplier | Specifies the scaling factor for the resistance to damage structures receive when attacked. The default value 1 provides normal damage. Higher values decrease resistance, increasing damage per attack. Lower values increase it, reducing damage per attack. A value of 0.5 results in a structure taking half damage while a value of 2.0 would result in a structure taking double normal damage. |
XPMultiplier | Specifies the scaling factor for the experience received by players, tribes and dinosaurs for various actions.

Higher values increase XP amounts awarded for various actions; lower values decrease it.In 313.5 an additional hardcoded multiplier of 4 was activated. |

HarvestHealthMultiplier | Specifies the scaling factor for the "health" of items that can be harvested (trees, rocks, carcasses, etc.). Higher values increase the amount of damage (i.e. "number of strikes") such objects can withstand before being destroyed, which results in higher overall harvest yields. |
MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit | Changes the maximum number of platformed-creatures/rafts allowed on the ARK (a potential performance cost) Example: MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit=10 would only allow 10 platform saddles / rafts across the entire ark Introduced in patch 212.1 |
PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier | Higher number increases (on a percentage scale) max number of items place-able on saddles and rafts Example: PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=1.5 Introduced in patch 211.0 |
