Elemental rules example
To nullify the elemental rules, you can modify the ini settings in GameUserSettings.ini. Set all efficiencies to 1. If you just want to remove the damage penalty of normals vs elementals, change "NonElementalEfficiency" to 1.0 for each element type.

For instance (to nullify elemental rules)...

[ElementalArk_Air]
StaminaRatio=0.250000
SpeedRatio=0.250000
FireEfficiency=1.000000
IceEfficiency=1.000000
WaterEfficiency=1.00000
LightningEfficiency=1.000000
StoneEfficiency=1.000000
NatureEfficiency=1.000000
NonElementalEfficiency=1.00000

[ElementalArk_Fire]
StaminaRatio=0.200000
SpeedRatio=0.200000
AttackRatio=0.200000
AirEfficiency=1.000000
IceEfficiency=1.000000
WaterEfficiency=1.000000
LightningEfficiency=1.000000
StoneEfficiency=1.000000
NatureEfficiency=1.000000
NonElementalEfficiency=1.00000

[ElementalArk_Ice]
HealthRatio=0.100000
StaminaRatio=0.100000
TorporRatio=0.100000
WeightRatio=0.200000

Is there a way to reduce or remove reflected damage from elementals when they're attacked?

No, but there are weapons available to prevent it. Also, attacking an elemental with an elemental will prevent it.

I would like to change the amount of this "passive HP drain" is there any chance u would add it in ini? coz they are just still too strong against some "boss/miniboss" creature. Example: if u have lvl 200 air argie u can easyli take out Reaper quinn just by flying around her :/ now it´s i think 0.1% hp drain or smth like it. i feel like 0.01 would me better i number it .. with 0.1 drain if u can whistand 1.6 min fight it will die (verry easy with elemental healing)... with 0.01 it´s 16.6 mins that´s more challenge or at least u would run away from them if u dont do enough dmg coz u dont want to fight them for that long :) or mby change it to current HP drain not max. Anyways continue your mod is amazing! <3

That is a good idea - I'll look into it - potentially for next patch. Thanks :)

No problem i´m here to help :) got little addon: is it possible to turn the drain off for bosses? Also got another idea: What about to make elements from those elemnt infused plants? Maybe by let´s say refining them in elemental forge? For exmaple from 10 Nature narcos get like 1 nature elemnt? I would like this coz in "Late game" you really need to hard grind them just by hunting dino :P I feel like there should be an alternative way :3 If u will ever want something to test or just another ideas just let me know :P (Don´t know if there is some place where i can write my suggestions or help you with mod) :P So again amazing mod mate hope it will be one of the best! For me it already is <3

Oh, for essence, try using the otter when harvesting berries or trees.

I see there is "Ideas for mod" discusion u should "highlight" it as well with the others liek this one (Don´t know how it´s called :D) And also i tested it out after this update didn´t find ini settings yet u should write it in patch notes :P Wanted to tell you that Bigger fights are much better now but mini fights or like these ambushes in game like when u are riding rex and random carno or raptor pack attacks you is now very unbalanced :D Im on my Fire rex and raptors just came in and die immediatelly after their 1st bite coz they took 300+ dmg from DoT. Alsi wanted to ask u smth but it will be better in private message if u want to just write me or add me i have more ideas and so i just want to help to make mod one of the best :3

The ini settings were added to the gdocs file (linked in description). There are way too many settings to put into the description. :)

How would I make it so there is a 50 percent change these dinos can spawn?
