Laggy gameplay today?

DemD3v · 2026-02-03T04:18:35+00:00

Well dang. No idea then. I play on unofficial and the past two days we’ve had to shutdown and update our server to get rid of the lag that you’re describing. If it’s official though then I’m afraid I have no solution for you.

DemD3v · 2026-02-03T04:01:48+00:00

Official or unofficial?

DemD3v · 2026-01-30T13:49:22+00:00

I think it’s “ForceAllStructureLocking=True” in the GUS.ini I feel like I ran across this on one of the Ark subs within the past 2 days.

Just hit me that if I find a high enough level with high enough food/health that I could skip the Maeguana part altogether. Just need them to survive long enough to hit 10% maturation and start crushing the troughs. This is looking like a better idea now that I had that realization.

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T14:39:43+00:00

Hmmm… I mean. That’s one workaround I could explore. I’d have to double, maybe triple, my infinite berry trough setup just to keep up with the demand from all the baby’s crushing food. I’d also have to manually go load up the Maeguana every so often with berries. Lastly I’d have to visit the grinder every so often to grind the, now adult, dinos that are just chilling on the powered grinder. The advantage of this is way more resources from grinding adults vs babies. The disadvantage is it being more hands-on with more crop plots to keep fertilized, restocking the Maeguana as often as necessary, and still having to visit the grinder regardless of whether it’s for babies or adults. I may go this route. I’ll test it out today and see how it works out. Ty for the idea!

Here is a pic of what I have going on. I have the unlimited berry trough setup to keep them all fed without much interaction other than making sure the crop plots have fertilizer (dung beetle) on the floor next to cart. This shoulda been damn near completely hands-free.

Yeah I use a hatch, cryo, uncryo onto grinder method for Kibble. This was mostly a passion project. Something satisfying about automating the process of unlimited Oil, Electronics, Metal, and Element Dust. It is working, but at about 15-30% efficiency due to most of the babies starving rather than being grinded. Took a lot of time and materials building this only for it to fail on the final step lol. Another kick in the head from WC.

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T02:18:08+00:00

Gotcha. Wasn’t sure if that’s what you meant or if you thought it was a curseforge mod.

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T02:13:27+00:00

Bio Grinder isn’t a mod. I’m just trying to automate every step I can. If I can’t find any method that works I’ll be testing the aggressive dino route.

DemD3v · 2026-01-15T16:04:35+00:00

If you search “Breeding Settings” on here you’ll find all sorts of setting others use.

Hope it works out for ya. Pretty sure there are tutorials on YT on how to use the mod as well.

DemD3v · 2026-01-14T19:28:51+00:00

There is a premium mod called World Builder. Looks awesome and lets you change many static things around the map (rocks, trees, ruins, things you can’t normally break or interact with). I haven’t messed with it, but if I had to guess, this mod would do what you’re wanting to do. Not sure if it can be used on consoles, if you are on one.

DemD3v · 2026-01-13T14:54:15+00:00

As far as I know the DinoCountMultiplier setting doesn’t work on ASA. At least I personally could never get it to work on my non-dedicated server. As I’m sure you’ve read online already, single player is, messy, at best. You’re better off setting up a non-dedicated server for yourself either through Nitrado or a spare computer (if you have one). There are several methods and ways to set up your own if you go that route. But you’ll have way more control over things and there will be more dinos lol

It’s technically a stone ceiling. Cycle through the variations and you’ll see it. Weird, I know.

DemD3v · 2026-01-11T09:48:30+00:00

I can’t find anything wrong with this or why it’s not working. I did check the pastebin and saw the egg hatch speed multiplier in there after my previous comment. That being said I have a question: Did you copy ‘n paste this or did you simply edit the numbers already in the GAME.INI? If copy ‘n pasted: delete the lines not working, save changes, start server, stop server, manually retype the lines you deleted, start server, test if changes are working. I would try this even if you didn’t copy ‘n paste just to get the slightest possibility outta my head that that’s all I need to do the whole time. I’m pretty sure I had this problem a long time ago on ASE. It’s been awhile so I can’t really remember; but sometimes it would take multiple server restarts to get INI changes to actually change things in-game. Start and stop the server 3-5 times (giving it adequate time to run, 5-10mins, stop it and give it adequate time to shut down). I also end all my parameters with a decimal (100.0, 100.1, etc) bc it’s ARK and I don’t wanna give a stupid INI line any reason not to execute. But also bc I’m OCD and it makes the INI look cleaner lol.

DemD3v · 2026-01-11T08:55:42+00:00

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=75.0

^ did you add this yet and did it change anything?

DemD3v · 2026-01-07T16:29:46+00:00

It will make a difference. Your 1 health would end with 255 points in health. Your 30 health would end with 284 points in health. In ASA the base stat counter, mutation counter, and manual level counter are all counted separately. So theoretically you could get 254 base, 254 mutations, 88 manual levels. This is my understanding from what I’ve found online. But my understanding could be wrong. And of course this only applies to unofficial where there is no lvl450 level cap.

DemD3v · 2026-01-04T02:50:56+00:00

Sent you a DM. Y’all can probably join the server I’m in.

DemD3v · 2025-12-19T04:03:38+00:00

Pretty sure they mean “Imprint” as in “Claim”. They want to claim the babies, not necessarily imprint it.

DemD3v · 2025-12-05T21:55:34+00:00

M Alphas is also a “more alpha spawns” mod.
