ARK: Survival Evolved /// Configuring incubation, maturation, and imprinting Print

The following settings control incubation, maturation, and imprinting:

MatingIntervalMultiplier
Controls the interval between mating attempts. A lower value shortens the interval. For example, MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.5 allows dinosaurs to mate 50% sooner.

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier
A higher value reduces the time required for a fertilized egg to hatch.

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier
A higher value reduces the time required for a baby dinosaur to mature.

BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier
Controls the grace period after a cuddle request expires before imprint quality begins to decrease.

BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier
Controls how often babies request care. A lower value means that care is required more often.

BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier
Controls how quickly imprint quality decreases when a care request is not completed in time.

BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier
Controls how strongly imprint quality affects statistics. Set the value to 0 to disable this effect.

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier
Multiplies the percentage awarded by each imprint. For example, if one imprint normally gives 10%, a value of 0.5 gives 5%, while a value of 2.0 gives 20%. This is a global setting and affects all species.

To change these settings, follow these steps:

1. Open the server administration.
2. Stop the server.
3. Click Configuration Files.
4. Click Text Editor next to Game.ini.
5. Add the required values. The section must begin with [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]. If it is missing, add it.
   Example:
   [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
   MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.5
   EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=30.0
6. Save the file.
7. Start the server.
