Would that work?  I just think if it is running fully on my machine it will use singleplayer boss rules.

OH BOY, HERE I GO TESTING AGAIN.

I did some digging too and found this post about changing the boss damage multipiers on steam, perhaps this can help you if you actually know what the damage nerfs are.  You could use these in your single player ini if they still work.

another thing you can do for your single player experience, host non-dedicated session, and click the 'Private Match' button, this keeps others from joining in, and you get the benefit of playing single player like on the servers.  works for me, only thing I found unenjoyable about single player is you level too fast with your character, I know its meant to make it abit easier for the player but i'd prefer to keep it the same as playing on a official server.

I rent my own server to play solo on for $15 a month.  Totally worth it.  The settings are perfect, the stability is great, and I get crop growth and resource respawn while I'm offline.  Now that we have cryo pods I can just freeze all my babies overnight and pick up again in the morning.  I can also admin away any Ark bullpoop that comes up.  Creature despawned out of my taming trap? spawn it back in.

So for the above, where you say you can transfer items & Dinos, is that only when you are the admin of the private server? I've been away from ARK for a few years, I don't think we had any feature back then to transfer items & Dinos from a private server to a local game. How does this work now assuming you are not the admin of the private server?

You don't need to be admin, but the server does have to be configured to allow transfers (edit: and not be clustered). It's set to allow transfers by default. 

If transfers are allowed, simply upload a Dino from the server you play on. Then leave the game and fire up your own non-dedicated hosted session. Go to an obelisk and download your Dino.

Then you can run a backup locally of your game files and store them on separate discs for safe keeping. While your Dino is uploaded, you can also backup the file where uploaded Dino's are saved locally. 

I should add that if the private server you want to transfer from is clustered, it won't work. Need's to be unclustered private server.
