We've created an Ark Server Settings Generator

Updated 2022

Our Ark Server Settings Generator saves time and also ensures that you don’t make any mistakes when configuring your gameusersettings.ini file, so you can focus on what’s more important – running your server. The Ark Server Settings Generator generates the configuration file for you so that you don’t need to know how to use it but if you want to know what each setting does, simply hover your mouse over each option for a tooltip.

The Ark Server Settings Generator creates the GameUserSettings.ini file which is used for the most common modifications to make your Ark server. For example, changing harvest and experience multipliers.

We hope our Ark Server Settings Generator saves you from having to spend hours configuring settings in the GameUserSettings.ini file and trying to understand what all of the various settings do.

Due to the nature of this editor being quite large it will only display on desktop and tablet devices.

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.
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.
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.
