Where do I find a creature's class name?

On the creature's page on ark.wiki.gg (“Blueprint path / spawn command” field), or in the wiki's ID lists.

My spawn changes don't apply.

Check the lines sit under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode], with no spaces or line breaks inside an entry, then restart the server and run destroywilddinos so creatures respawn.

How to use Spawn, engram and level editor?

Game.ini overrides (ARK: Survival Evolved) are long, fragile parenthesised lines. This editor generates NPCReplacements, DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers, item max quantities, engram entries and the XP ramp, ready to paste under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode].

Add creature replacements (NPCReplacements) and spawn weights.
Set item max quantities, engrams and XP levels as needed.
Copy the result under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] in Game.ini (server stopped).
Restart and test in game; unknown class names are ignored without an error.
