To do this, you will need to copy the code listed below and paste it in the bottom of your Game.ini file. If you are using a PC server, you will need FTP Access in order to access the file. For PS4 users, you can click on the Game.ini button on the control panel and paste the below code at the bottom of the text box before saving and restarting the game server.

Modifying Spawn Settings

For the data below, there are two values to consider when adding dino spawns to your ARK. EntryWeight and MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow.

EntryWeight - a value between 0.0 and 1.0 (0% to 100%)
  • How often a dino is "considered" for spawning. The higher the value, the more often this particular dino is chosen when a dino is spawned in an area.
MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow - a value between 0.0 and 1.0 (0% to 100%)
  • The total number of this particular dino to be allowed in the particular area. With a value of 0.25, there will be a maximum of 25% of the area's total population to be this dinosaur.


Using one of the examples below, for adding Griffins to the Island, the code and a breakdown of what's what will look like this:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSnow",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="GriffinSnow",EntryWeight=0.05,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Griffin_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Griffin_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

The Island

Adding Griffins

In this example, I am adding griffins to two different sections of The Island: Mountains and snowy regions. Since griffins are more likely to be in the mountainous area, I've increased the spawn rates and maximum number of allowed griffins for that region by adjusting EngryWeight and MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow.

Ragnarok

Hermit's Example - Aberration Dinos

Hermit's Example

NOTE: You may need to remove the spawn code for the Karakinos (i.e Crab_Character_BP_C), as these things have a habit of spawning out of control despite such low spawn values.

Adding Aberrant variants to all spawns in Ragnarok

With this code, I am adding Aberrant versions of dinos to Ragnarok. This code finds every instance of a dino occurring at a given spawn point and adds the Aberrant version. Ravagers, Karakinos, Basilisks, Reapers, etc. are not included in this code. You may need to make adjustments to the spawn code to achieve the results you want.
