How to use GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini editor?
A ARK: Survival Ascended server is tuned in two files: GameUserSettings.ini (network, passwords, rates and rules) and Game.ini (breeding, XP, tribes). This tool outputs both with the wiki's default values; you only change what you need.
Enter the session name, passwords and player count.
Adjust the rates (XP, taming, harvest), rules and structure limits.
Copy the “===== GameUserSettings.ini” block into that file and the “===== Game.ini” block into Game.ini (stop the server first).
Restart the server: it rewrites the files on shutdown, so never edit them while it is running.
