Hello. First off let me say I love this mod and how flexible it can be. I am looking to start up a new server and want to include this in the mod list. However using it before has brought up a few questions as to how to balance it out. I was comparing some of the numbers you have in the default INI settings on the main page, to some of the numbers in the weapons section of the ARK wiki. My thoughts are to adjust these settings in such a way where the weapons are not to over powered and the basic bullets do vanilla damage while AP do 10% more damage. So my question is:

If say on the wiki the Fabricated Sniper Rifle does 165 Damage and I wanted the same here and make AP rounds do say 10% more damage. I would configure my INI file to read:


Shotgun to do the same, with a 10% increase on AP Rounds and a 30% on Explosive


or is shotgun ammo counted on a per pellet damage at 14 pellets shot so I would want to put in total damage and divide that by 14 to get my INI setting. For example


Is this correct? Or do these values fall into an algorithm for calculating what the exact damage output will be each time you pull the trigger?

Thank you in advanced for your help.
