Primitive Server Settings

has a game mode called Primitive, where everything from the advanced/modern tier is excluded. Additionally there is the official DLC Primitive Plus, but that is not part of this page. This page will provide information how to configure your own Primitive server.

This information is a copy of https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/10/535150948605081777/, the newest published info about the topic.

For v248 custom Primitive Servers, there is a new Game.ini here:

Here are the current Engram and Item indices in v191. To use the Engrams in your server configuration INI's, just take the name listed in http://imgur.com/HMIigNT,ACuXtwT#1, and add a "_C" to the end of it!

This uses the new classname format for Engrams, so it will never become outdated again, this should be the last time you have to upgrade your primitiver server INI! :)

Yours truly,

Drake

Also some new options for your servers:


 * Custom servers INI can now scale globally the spoiling times of perishables, as well as scale the global decomposition time of items and bodies on the ground, respectively. Set these to larger than 0 values, in your server's Game.ini :

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] GlobalSpoilingTimeMultiplier=0 GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier=0 GlobalCorpseDecompositionTimeMultiplier=0


 * Custom servers INI can now scale on a per-resource type basis the amount of resources harvested. In your server's Game.ini, for example:

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Thatch_C",Multiplier=2.0) HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",Multiplier=4.0)


 * Custom servers INI can now override the Max XP cap of players & dino characters, respectively. Set these to larger than 0 values, in your server's Game.ini :

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] OverrideMaxExperiencePointsPlayer=0 OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino=0

?PreventDownloadSurvivors=false?PreventDownloadItems=false?PreventDownloadDinos=false
 * Custom servers can now specify whether they want downloadable individually: characters, items, dinos

?PreventDownloadSurvivors=false?PreventDownloadItems=false?PreventDownloadDinos=false
 * Custom servers can now specify whether they want downloadable individually: characters, items, dinos

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=true/false
 * New Game.ini options:

Defaults false. If true, any Engram not explicitly specified in the EngramsOverride list will be Hidden. Useful for maintaining primitive servers even as we add new Engrams in Updates.

Also: OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_AlarmTrap_C",EngramHidden=true,EngramPointsCost=3,EngramLevelRequirement=2,RemoveEngramPreReq=false)

For example. Lets you specify an Engram by classname so that it's guaranteed to work even if Engram indices change in the future—is guaranteed to be permanent. You can get all the classnames from the ARK Dev Kit.
