Hi completely new to this so plz excuse if i sound a complete noob. But basicly my clan rentas a server for the game ARK survival evolved . i am the admin for the server and have access to all the ftp files for the game. i have been asked to look into possibly changing the spawn rates of mobs within the server as it is currently to high .

i have found the files im looking for but ofc i have no understanding of the code / text within them . i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me understand them better and what exactly needs to be changed within them to do as i have mentioned .

also i have no idea how to open the .uasset file in UE4 as ive never used it before . but i was told this is the only ./ best way to edit them .

You need an UE4 editor to open .uasset file, but only if you have access to source .uasset. The .uasset in game folder is a package version of source resource, you can not edit that.

Any config for server can be put in a .bat file, when you run server, like serve.exe -SpawnRate =100… Just an example cause i don’t know what they use, you should ask the dev about that.
