ARK- OFFICIAL VS SINGLEPLAYER, BOSS DIFFICULTY COMPARISON & Tuning SP to Oficial

[Freespirit]

Hello Everyone, I wanted to share with the Entire Ark Community, this video which I made:

A 2021 Comprehensive DIY Guide to configure Boss difficulty TO Official Servers of your Unofficial/Non-dedicated/Singleplayer sessions. I will be addressing the following below:

Official vs SP Settings OFF vs SP settings ON vs SP default difficulty
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Questions to be answered ::
1. How are bosses different between Singleplayer(SP) & Official Servers ?
2. How can we make SP bosses equal to Official servers difficulty wise ?

Patches that affect SP vs Official Boss Difficulty:
---------------------------------------------------
254.3: Singleplayer/non-dedicated bosses are reduced in damage and effective-HP by 67%

261.0: Rebalanced all boss HP and damage to scale from 1x (Gamma) to 3x (Alpha) in singleplayer. This does not include The Center double boss arena, which has 35% less HP and damage than it's individual Island counterparts.

264.0: Yutyrannus now has an automatic-courage mode in singleplayer. When set, the Yuty will give a courage roar every 30 seconds if an ally dino is in front of it.

264.2: Fixed boss scaling for multiplayer sessions (approximately 67% easier)

Experimental Setup
-----------------
Boss: Gamma Center Boss (Broodmother & Megapithecus)
Army: 
 - 10x Theris → Lv 383, 22,000 Health, 1120% melee, 110-124 saddle
 - 1x Yuty → Lv 340, 70,000 health, 2400 stamina, 124 saddle

Test Approach
-------------
1. Full Official: 
 game.ini changes + SP settings = OFF + Max Difficulty = true + Difficulty Level = 1.0 + Difficulty Override = 5x
DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_TheCenter_C",Multiplier=3.0)
DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_TheCenter_C",Multiplier=3.0)

DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="Gorilla_Character_BP_TheCenter_C",Multiplier=3.0)
DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="Gorilla_Character_BP_TheCenter_C",Multiplier=3.0)

2. SP Settings OFF:
 SP settings = OFF + Max Difficulty = true + Difficulty Level = 1.0 + Difficulty Override = 5x

3. SP Settings ON:
 SP settings = ON + Max Difficulty = true + Difficulty Level = 1.0 + Difficulty Override = 5x

4. Default Singleplayer
 SP settings = ON + Max Difficulty = false + Difficulty Level = 0.2 + Difficulty Override = 5x (for center it's always 5x)
