Last update added a new feature that is disabled by default: the ability to change item stats by editing GameUserSettings.ini


First you have to enable the extended, experimental functionality by going to the ini section [ArkCustomizer] and set bDisabled to false.

Next you might notice ItemEntryCount and InventoryEntryCount. Ignore InventoryEntryCount as thats not fully implemented yet.

ItemEntryCount sets the maximum number of entries you can create. ItemEntries are named to or for the default value.

Each entry uses the following syntax:
Lets have a look at a "real example"


Here we have 2 entries, one to change Wooden Walls and one to change Narcoberries.
The Weight of Wooden Walls gets set to 0.01, Stacksize increased to 1000 and they will now spoil after 1 hour.
Narcoberries get renamed to "Awesome Berries", their spoil timer will be remoed and the get the same weight and stack size as the Wooden Walls.

Fields you can set:

ClassName (required)
The same as ItemClassString for ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts.

CraftQuantity
The amount of items you get for crafting.

CustomName
Changes the name of the item.

CustomDescription
Changes the description of the item.

Weight
Changes the base weight. This is functional but might behave in a weird way for certain items that use a weight multiplier.

SpoilTimer
Changes the time until this item will spoil, use 0 to remove spoiling.

StackSize
Changes the max size of item stacks.
