For anyone reading this, I still haven't found out why the difficulty offset reverts to 1. However, I did find that one can tweak the EP gain/lvl as well as the EXP req/lvl and, of course, expand the level cap even further.

Difficulty offset is hardcoded in the engine to be a value from 0.0 to 1.0. You shouldn't be trying to bump it for more than 1.

Hm. Okay. So then I would need a mod then?

AFAIK no mods can override this hardcoded value. The engine has checks in place to prevent that. DifficultyOffset is just a scale multiplier for the Difficulty Min/Max params, which is what my mod changes. Anything above what I just publish, breaks the dino stats anyways.

Okay then. I wasn't sure how it worked... Thanks for the quick reply, though! Cheers~

hi can any 1 tell me with this mod how many engram do you have at lvl 300 as i use other mods and want to know if there will be enuff thanks

You can change how many you get but I think you get enough to unlock everything in Vanilla and have some left for mods. Not sure, though.

Hi Im positive you know your stuff but the gampedia says that the difficulty offset can be a value from 0 to 4. i have increased mine because it also says that the higher the difficulty offset = higher % loot. Does anyone know a better way to get better loot? Ive tried Better beacons and it doesnt seem to work properly. would love a command line that increases chance of ascendant stuff considering the levels of dinos we are facing with this great mod. link below to ref gamepedia http://ark.gamepedia.com/Difficulty

It may be now, but it probably wasn't at the time- about a month ago.

From gamepedia:

Difficulty Offset is 0.0 - 1.0. Difficulty Value is 0.5 - 4.0

DifficultyValue = DifficultyOffset * 3.5 + 0.5

LootScale = DifficultyValue * 100%

Don't confuse Difficulty Offset, which is the value you set, with Difficulty Value, which is calculated.

It looks like Epic Level sets the Difficulty Value to 28.

Seriously, sounds great. I just wish my computer can handle the game better :I

FluffnTough How did you increase the lvl and get more engram points ?

I had my server at lvl 500 with and so on .
And for a stupid amount of engrams i had and so on .

but still server is at lvl 300 max and not enough engrampoints .

@Redeye123
Override the experience cap to whatever you want, so long as it's greater than or equal to the exp needed to hit the highest level, " OverrideMaxExperiencePointsPlayer= x" in the GameUserSettings.ini file for your server. So if level 500 requires 9,999,999 exp, the experience cap should be at least that. Also, make sure to stop the server before you change anything, otherwise your changes may not take effect. I suggest using Notepad ++

If that doesn't work, I dunno. I would ask the mod author at that point. Check other discussions, too.

EDIT: If you want more engram points(EP), you can very easily change the amount of EP you get per level. You may or may not have to use a MindWipe Tonic - ID 413 - for the EP change to take effect.

You can also change how many stat points you get per level, if you want to.
In the Game.ini file of your server, put in "PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player<type>[<attribute>]=<multiplier>" for each stat. PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=2.0 would mean that weight-increase per level is 2x as much as default for players.
http://ark.gamepedia.com/Server_Configuration , search for PerLevelStats...

EDIT 2: You can also change how much of a stat boost dinos get from being tamed as well as how many stat points they get per level.

@FluffnTough thx for the reply when i saw you saying gameusersettings i had a lightbulb above my head Its then when i saw that epiclevel has its levelsettings right there xD
