    Mating Interval Multiplier ARK – Server Guide

    Mating Interval Multiplier ARK – Server Introduction

    Throughout playing on an ARK: Survival Evolved server, players are taken to islands filled with unique creatures and dinosaurs. With those dinosaurs, players can fight them but have the option to also tame them to take advantage of their powers. Powers such as the ability to fly, move faster, and carry more items. These powers and the ability to tame creatures often lead to wanting to mate your best-tamed dinosaurs for an all-powerful tame that can reach the highest levels. This can often take too long to put in all the effort to mate creatures, but it’s possible to increase the mating interval multiplier in ARK to help with this!

    Mating interval multiplier ARK - hatching eggs

    By using the mating interval multiplier in ARK, you and your friends can speed up several different mating tactics on your server. These include the speed of egg hatching, how long it takes a dinosaur to mature, the food consumption of a baby dinosaur, and more. After adjustments are made, you and your fellow players can work towards the perfect tames through mating without the long waits normally required. Below, we’ll show you how to change the mating interval multiplier settings on your own ARK server hosting to accomplish this!

    How to Change the Mating Interval Multiplier ARK

    Adjusting the Mating Multiplier using Server Settings

    1. Go to your ARK server webinterface and stop your server.
    2. Then, to the left below “Settings”, click on “General”. You can now find the different mating and egg multipliers below the “Multiplier” and “Baby Multipliers” sections.

    4. In those sections, find the setting you’d like to edit and then change that option’s value higher to increase that and lower to decrease the multiplier.
    5. Finally, after making changes, press “Save changes” and start your ARK server.

    Changing the Mating Multiplier using Expert Mode with Nitrado

    1. To begin, make sure that Expert Mode is enabled on your ARK server. Using step #2 above, you can re-enter your server settings and activate this mode at the top. Afterward, you’ll need to save and restart your server.
    2. Once Expert Mode is enabled, you’ll see an “Expert Settings” option on the left side of the server webinterface. Press this option.
    3. Next, you’ll see a dropdown. Use it to select your “Game.ini” for editing.

    6. Once changes have been made, press “Save changes” and start your ARK server.
