If you want to manipulate the game even more than just fiddling with the default configurations, then this is your source of information. You can manipulate many options in the file “Game.ini” to change the whole behaviour of the game like available engrams, points to spend for each, which items are available and many more.
| Linux | Game.ini | ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ |
| Windows | Game.ini | ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ |
| OverrideEngramEntries=( EngramIndex=<index> [,EngramHidden=<hidden>] [,EngramPointsCost=<cost>] [,EngramLevelRequirement=<level>] [,RemoveEngramPreReq=<remove_prereq>]) |
|
Configure the status and requirements for learning an engram. The EngramIndex argument is always required; the rest are optional, but at least one must be provided in order for the option to have any effect. The option may be repeated in GameUserSettings.ini once for each engram to be configured.The examples provided here are split into multiple lines for space considerations. In the configuration file, an entry must be placed entirely on a single line. Multiple OverrideEngramEntities entries can be specified in the file, but EngramIndex values should not be repeated across multiple entries.
OverrideEngramEntities=(EngramIndex=0, EngramHidden=false) OverrideEngramEntities=(EngramIndex=1, EngramHidden=false,EngramPointsCost=3, EngramLevelRequirement=3, RemoveEngramPreReq=true) |

| DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=( DinoNameTag=<tag> [,SpawnWeightMultiplier=<factor>] [,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=<override>] [,SpawnLimitPercentage=<limit>]) |
|
Customizes the spawning rate for a given dinosaur type (at all dinosaur spawn points). Types with a larger SpawnWeightMultiplier are selected more often when spawning new dinosaurs than types with lower multipliers. When OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage is specified (and true), the type will never be spawned more than SpawnLimitPercentage * 100 percent of the time, regardless of multiplier. For example, a SpawnLimitPercentage of 0.25 specifies that the type will be selected for spawning no more than 25% of the time.The examples provided here are split into multiple lines for space considerations. In the configuration file, an entry must be placed entirely on a single line. Multiple DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers entries can be specified in the file, but DinoNameTag values should not be repeated across multiple entries.
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Bronto, SpawnWeightMultiplier=10.0, OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true, SpawnLimitPercentage=0.5) The valid dinosaur type tags are:

| LevelExperienceRampOverrides=( ExperiencePointsForLevel[<n>]=<points> [,ExperiencePointsForLevel[<n>]=<points>] ... [,ExperiencePointsForLevel[<n>]=<points>]) |
|
Configure the total number of levels available to players and dinosaurs and the experience points required to reach each level.This directive can be specified twice in the configuration file. The first time it appears, the values provided will configure player levels. The second time it appears, the values provided will configure dinosaur levels.
Because of this, each time the directive is used, it must list all of the levels players (or dinosaurs) can reach on the server. One ExperiencePointsForLevel argument must appear for each desired level. Values for <n> must be sequential, starting from zero. The examples provided here are split into multiple lines for space considerations. In the configuration file, an entry must be placed on a single line. LevelExperienceRampOverrides=( ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=1, ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=5, ... ExperiencePointsForLevel[64]=1000) LevelExperienceRampOverrides=( ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=1, ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=5, ... ExperiencePointsForLevel[34]=1000) The first example specifies 65 player levels. The second example (when placed in the configuration file after the first example) specifies 35 dinosaur levels. |
|||||||||||||||
| OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=<points> |
|
Configure the number of engram points granted to players for each level gained.This option must be repeated for each player level configured on the server; if there are 65 player levels available, this option should appear in the configuration file 65 times.
The first appearance of the option configures engram points for reaching level 1. The next one configures engram points for level 2, and so on all the way to the 65th appearance, which configures engram points for level 65. OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=5 OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=10 ... OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=100 |

| GlobalSpoilingTimeMultiplier=<value> |
|
Scales the spoiling time of perishables globally. Higher values prolong the time. (Note: As of patch 196.0 there is still a bug whereby items moved to the player’s inventory have their spoilage times reset to normal (value 1.0) despite what this value is set at.) Introduced in patch 189.0 |
|||||||||||||||
| GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier=<value> |
|
Scales the decomposition time of dropped items, loot bags etc. globally. Higher values prolong the time. Introduced in patch 189.0 |
|||||||||||||||

Scales the decomposition time of corpses, (player and dinosaur), globally. Higher values prolong the time. Introduced in patch 189.0 |
|||||||||||||||
| HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="<classname>",Multiplier=<value>) |
|
Scales on a per-resource type basis, the amount of resources harvested. Higher values increase the amount per swing/attack. E.g: HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName=”PrimalItemResource_Thatch_C”,Multiplier=2.0) will provide 2x the amount harvested when harvesting thatch from a tree.Resource classnames can be found at HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers Functions in the same way as the global setting HarvestAmountMultiplier but for only the type of resource named on this line. Additional lines can be added with other resource types, such as Wood, Stone etc.Introduced in patch 189.0 |

|
Prevents taming of specific dinosaurs via classname. E.g. PreventDinoTameClassNames=”Argent_Character_BP_C”Dino classnames can be found on the Entity_IDs page.
Introduced in patch 194.0 |
|||||||||||||||
| NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="<classname>",ToClassName="<classname>") NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="<classname>",ToClassName="")</nowiki> |
|
This can be used to disable specific Alpha predators, replace the spawns of a particular NPC with that of a different NPC, or completely disable any specific NPC spawn. E.g: NPCReplacements=(FromClassName=”MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C”,ToClassName=”Dodo_Character_BP_C”)Dino classnames can be found on the Entity_IDs page.
Introduced in patch 196.0 |

| ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=<value> ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=<value> |
|
Allow resources to regrow closer or farther away from players & structures. Values higher than 1 increase the distance around players and structures where resources are allowed to grow back. Values between 0 and 1 will reduce it. Introduced in patch 196.0 |
|||||||||||||||
| bIncreasePvPRespawnInterval=<Boolean>; IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalCheckPeriod=<value1>; IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalMultiplier=<value2>; IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalBaseAmount=<value3>; |
|
PvP servers have an optional +1 minute additonal respawn (<value3>) that doubles (<value2>) each time if you are killed by a team within 5 minutes (<value1>) of your previous death to that team (timer indicated on Spawn UI). Is enabled in pvp by default, and on all the official pvp servers. Helps prevent PvO ammo-wasting of auto turrets by repeatedly throwing sacrificial players at them. Introduced in patch 196.0 |
|||||||||||||||
| bAutoPvETimer=<Boolean1> bAutoPvEUseSystemTime=<Boolean2> AutoPvEStartTimeSeconds=<value1> AutoPvEStopTimeSeconds=<value2> |
|
Allow switching from PvE to PvP mode at pre-specified in-game times OR a pre-specified real-world (server-side) times! For more detailed information regarding using system time vs. in-game time, please see patch notes 196.0. Introduced in patch 196.0 |

| PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player<type>[<attribute>]=<multiplier> PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed<type>[<attribute>]=<multiplier> PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild<type>[<attribute>]=<multiplier> |
|
Allows changing the amount of stats gained each level. E.g.: PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=2.0 would mean that weight-increase per level is 2x as much as default for players. PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player changes the amount for players. PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed changes the amount for tamed dinos. PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild changes the amount for wild dinos. To nearly disable gaining stats use 0.01 because setting the value to 0 makes it default to 1.0 Introduced in patch 202.0 Examples for different types effecting Health of a tamed dino: PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0] = 1.0 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[0] = 1.0 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[0] = 1.0 |
