corbcann Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 So I've played ark a lot and I learned I prefer single player but I get impatient and end up turning on cheats and running around with a level 1,000,000 Yutyrannus. What have other people found to be the best single player settings? Including Imprinting too because I want to delve into mutations, I work 8 hours during the week and go to school as well, I just play to relax and have fun but I still want to breed and take on bosses but I don't have days to devote to just this game. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrist Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I personally like the grind of officials.. But hate the breeding times... I play singleplayer casually with low harvest but high breeding rates (not instant maturation cause i like the process of getting there also) 10x tame, breed, maturation 2x harvest 1x XP Lvl 120max dinos I also forced myself to learn to play ARK (steam) on my couch with an xbox controller to abstain from using cheats, ive since upgraded to a SteamController and love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJRone89 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Have everything set to default but enable the singleplayer settings checkbox. It’s pretty well balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbcann Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 What are the single player settings vs official? I tried researching that myself but to no avail. The controller setting is a good idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the best is so subjective.. @corbcann Are you looking for a rewarding experience where you can feel accomplished or just a 'hop on for a few hours and do stuff' experience? I feel that as soon as it gets too boosted i get less attached, thus favour the slower slightly boosted approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wanna feel like I'm doing stuff just without having to spend 10 hours raising a baby/taming a creature and running back and forth to get 10 rocks at a time.

rcarteraz Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I love the grind of Official so to me that's best. Although, I guess I can see the allure of boosting breeding rates because that can be a pain on official! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 10h total to raise say.. a rex is too much? By that i believe you should go with 'heavy boosted' rates, 50x mature, 20x harvest infinate weight, etc. Seems (to me) you would enjoy just doing things hard and fast. If you couple these heavily boosted settings with say.. not using a single admin cheat you could have a fun SP playthrough (though it will be short) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I am in that boat right now! I've only put around 150hrs into an unofficial Island server when originally giving the game a try, , and now since Extinction came out last week PLUS i've been waiting for a sale HOOH.. put down the $$ for the Explorers Edition! ... so im gonna do things right and soak in the game in SP... So this will basically be my first full play through... I'm thinking I might cut a happy medium somewhere between what Phyrist and d1nk suggested. Plus I'm definitely thinking of S+ ... because after finishing the story... I'd like to build great works, try and replicate Stormwind or something... Im not sure what but .. some awesome works across all the maps! But yeah what'd you end up doing corbcann how you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shave Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 My first 600 hours of Ark were on Singleplayer, on standard rates(Which were also half what they are now). I've played on private servers and official servers, was the "Alpha tribe" on both servers I played on, and my tribe went on to defeat all the bosses except the Alpha Dragon, but we didn't do him cos we ran out of time before moving to Ragnarok. However I'm only on Singleplayer now, and I'm loving it despite the extremely low amount of support it gets from development. I've ran into hundreds of bugs in my time, including very very low dino spawns to the point of having to go literally half way across the map to see a single wild dino, as well as the Obelisks not transferring stuff from map to map. It's all very annoying but I battle through it. I'm hoping Extinction will be salvation but it looks like it's going the same way. Anyway, I play on something along the lines of 5x raising, 2x Xp, 2x harvest and 1.5x taming. It's a real nice balance because it's not too hard, not to easy. On official it takes a few days to raise a Rex. On my Singleplayer it takes about the same amount of time. I compensated for how much I play the game and adjusted the raising multiplier accordingly, so that if it takes me 3 days to raise something on official, it takes me 3 days to raise it on Singleplayer. Some people look down on me because I play Sp. They think I have an easy ride but I don't. I despise using commands and avoid it as much as humanly possible and one of my pet peeves about the Ark community is that people assume I just use commands when stuff doesn't go my way. Me: My Rex's aren't powerful enough for the bosses, any advice? Internet: WhY DoN't YoU jUsT uSe CoMmAnDs AnD gIvE yOuRsElF a GoOd Bp? I always have the same response: Sure, and while I'm at it why don't I just use the kill commands on the boss? Boom, game finished, 30 quid for a game that I can finish in an hour.

Mlopez14 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I personally have the following: -Taming speed * 5 -Breeding and Maturation * 10 -Harvest Rate * 3.5 -Stats for player * 2 -Stats for wild and tamed dinos * 1.5 (Feel like I am going to leave it to default though) -Affinity and Imprint boost * 2 as a reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncivilizedBehaviour Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I been trying to find the balance here myself. I want breeding to be quick and painless but i still want the challenge of official. I spent a good portion of my ARK life on official pvp and single player feels super dumbed down out of the box. Spawn rates and levels are by default "kiddie pool" and just because i am alone doesnt mean i cant handle the spawn of an official server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, keep harvesting low. 1.5x maybe Believe it or not, turning the difficulty down will do this. You no longer tame that 150 argy that has base 700w.. 1.5k+ with lvls. Your argy now is 300w with crap stam. Turn dino damage ((or player resistance)) down if you want some danger. That raptor will mess you up Breeding is good at 10x for most people, SP mode is 25 or 30x i believe.. might be more realistic for SP but i think 15x would be a good medoum (turn incubating up to like 60x aint noone wanna wait 8h for an egg) Ill help more with settings, what type of game do you want?

UncivilizedBehaviour Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I want my single player to reflect official. I just dont want to have to deal with days long breed times because my single player wont be running all the time. there is no challenge for me in stunting dinos or harvesting. that isnt a challenge, thats just more work. The challenge is in the danger and the risk, not in more labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
