Ducky237 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm playing on Ragnarok in singleplayer. I found a nice spot for my base, but there was a giga nearby. I lured it off a cliff, which made it unable to get to my new base. After a while, I tamed it for the achievement, and I guess this opened up the wild giga spawn again? Now there's a lvl 95 giga near my base. Tried to used kill/destroy commands and they didn't work for some reason. This wouldn't really have solved the problem though, only delayed it. So I want to just disable giga spawns, but after researching it I'm still confused. I've read that I can change the spawn weight in the game ini but where in the game ini? Am I editing a line of code or making a new one entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphere Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 C:\steamcmd\ark\servers\PvENoTame\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini This is where mine is on my dedicated server.

It’s easier to just use this instead (game.ini): NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C", ToClassName="") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graviphoton Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 In SP it is different file c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini and settings as SaltyMonkey wrote [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky237 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Thanks for the replies! I’ll definitely try putting that in the game ini. Will it affect my other single player games too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it affect my other single player games too? You will still need to wipe all wild dinos for this to work, the giga won't just magically disappear. Here's the command: https://ark.gamepedia.com/Console_Commands#DestroyWildDinos One other thing is: Edit the game.ini file when the game is completely closed. Just being in the menu of the game running will not pick the change and the game will override the config as soon as you enter a game. So stop the game, edit the game.ini and then start the game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky237 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 I’m happy to announce that I’ve been playing for 2 or 3 days giga free. I’ve done multiple Dino wipes and checked giga spawn areas. Thanks for your guys’ help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
