Installing Difficulty +50 W/Latest Build
I've been reading thru solutions and I have had troubles installing this mod; mostly due to reading the wiki on commands/config and trying to figure out what was going on and I've figured out the issue.

Firstly, to clarify, I'm running LINUX, so this will be explained as much as possible, but it will work on Windows servers the same way. Also, the confusion will become clear as we continue thru this article.

If you haven't already, place the Mod in your Mods folder.
ShooterGame/Content/Mods

Now navigate to your Config folder and open up Game.ini
ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini

Now place this code inside your Game.ini. You may also change this to your liking.
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] OverrideMaxExperiencePointsPlayer=13882833 OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino=2845642

Once done, open GameUserSettings.ini. I will explain this one, the confusion is that some people will put
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=1.0
HOWEVER, this doesn't work. So don't put that, but instead put this under your [ServerSettings].
DifficultyOffset=1.0

Also be sure to add the Mod as first priority.
ActiveMods=517605531,xxxxxxx,xxxxxxx

That is all. Shutdown your server if it's running. You can now go back to
ShooterGame/Saved
and delete your SavedArks folder to get a fresh start or go ingame and use
~
then put
EnableCheats urpassword
and type
admincheat DestroyWildDinos

If it's not running, boot it up and go have fun.

I hope this clears up some issues.
Best regards,
Byrddawg
