ATLAS is built on ARK's engine and reuses the GameUserSettings.ini format. This tool generates a base file with the most common options; each grid cell reads its own configuration, so copy the file to each one.
How to use the tool
Set the admin password and enable RCON if needed.
Adjust XP, taming, harvest rates and day length.
Stop the server and place GameUserSettings.ini in ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer.
Restart each cell and check the effects in game.
Reliability of options
No official GameUserSettings.ini documentation for ATLAS could be consulted: the listed keys are ARK's, from which ATLAS derives. If an option has no effect, add the correct key in “Extra lines” after checking with the community.
Frequently asked questions
- Where does the file go?
- In each cell's ShooterGame Saved/Config/WindowsServer folder, with the server stopped. The exact path is not officially documented here: check it on your install.
- Are the values ATLAS defaults?
- Not confirmed: 1.0 matches the base behaviour of ARK multipliers. Only change what you want to change.
