2023 Best Singleplayer Settings for Ark: Survival Evolved 

Honestly the only setting I would recommend people to change is the weight setting because caring that stuff back and forth can be mind numbing

thank you so much for sharing your settings, as well as your work in figuring out the math for the baby imprint settings!

Thanks for posting your settings again, my single player settings got reset a while ago and i was just about to dive in and search for the last vid then this one popped up 😊yay

It’s nice to have an update like this. Thank you very much, very helpful. 👍

Can't thank you enough Phlinger. I watched your SP setting video of a few yrs back and I'm watching this in 2023. Always, always, always good content. 🔥

Thanks for the tips. I don't have time to wait for taming or breeding so my rates are definitely turned up on that. I love single player. I can go at my own pace. I used to have a pve tribe. On playstation now I'm Xbox. And been single player since. Thank you for all the videos. Definitely helps and every now and then I love red text. 😂

Something I like to change is the baby food multiplier, having fast babies is more quality of life for solo, having to play nearly 4 days of PLAYTIME like 3 hours a day is crazy, NOT changing the food drain I dont think people think about, but it makes something like wyvern babies super easy to get, or anything else like that, normally you have to go through the process of sleeping a wyvern, nabbing milk then raising a kid, without changing the drain, you can just nab an egg and run like hell and the kids fine now. completely skipping a key point in getting a dragon, able to raise a dragon at pteradon level rather than like 60+ or whenever the sleep darts are unlocked, So making the drain high enough to where they still need to eat, and eat a good bit, but not where you dont gotta feed babies

Appreciate the detailed guide 👍🏽

Definately trying these settings cheers I alaws have single player settings checked and wondered why nothing was working thanks again

It was just lastnight I was watching the older version of this from you,thanks for the update 👌

Thank you, this is very helpful

very helpful vid, thanks for sharing this

Eternally grateful for these videos

very helpful thanks

i used to switch to sp-settings for breeding. thx for the settings, now i can stay on mp

I’m running these settings, most fun I’ve had on ark in years

Great video

Thanks for the info! Suggest working on scripting videos like this just to streamline and convey said information a bit easier, but great video, great info, and thank you!

thank you for the best settings :)

Thank you very much

Anyone else's fuel consumption rate just randomly changing? I could swear it started at 1 but changed to 1.6, then to 1.88, and 2.11

Good Morning Phlinger and Phamily!

good info.

In "singleplayer setting" Dinos get a bit of a bonus to health per level and huge bonus to overall damage the moment they are tamed, increasing it by like 30 to 50% making the game far too easy, it created a common misconception that Bosses are weak in this mode, but it is not true at all, I lowered the stat gain of my dinos to official and Bosses are as they should be, even tested it by disabling the setting and managed to beat Alpha Broodmother with simmilar effectivnes, she did about 20000 dmg to a dino with 100 armor and 30000 to 80.armor in both fights. If you want to see my damage: Stats per level Damage 0.106 Add per level Damage 0.04 Affinity Damage 0.194 When it comes breeding, last time I used 1.4 maturation and imprint interval at 0.1, it is possible that 0.4 maturation is better but I can't remember right now. It is fast because I don't like to sit for hours, but 1.4 worked for most dinos. 0.1 imprint time is about 8 min per imprint, works pretty well for smaller dinos but it is an effort for bigger ones. You may want to lower it for otters as they grow too fast. Seriously just change both settings often and you will eventually find your sweet spot, you can go back to menu and change it before baby matures to ensure 100% if you have to.

Thankyou for this helps i've been on single trying out new stuff mostly building. :)♥

Did they fix the Single Player resources not respawning bug, where harvested nodes don’t come back if you exit the game while they havent respawned?

I am about to download this game and intend on only playing solo /pve ... is this the type of game i can stay on 1 map and build a huge base and just do the grind of farming /harvesting and surviving? Or is there certain quests and missions i must complete to do certain things? And whats the best map for a guy who just likes to casual play / grind / mess around on a vast open world solo?

I play single player because of years of fail multiplayer experiences, since Ultima Online! There's good things, but the toxicity is overwhelming... So I like fun. I like not doing everything professionally, calculated, mathematically exact. I also called my nephew to play alongside me. He can use split screen or he plays on his PS4. For it it's good to have friendly fire OFF among other settings.

New soloing the ark series possibly?! :0

I like survival games and you are right, the early game is the most fun. I play ARK, The Long Dark, The Forest, Subnautica, ect., the early is way more fun the the mid or endgame. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of satisfaction in those stages but yeah, early game.

idk why but everytime im trying to start singleplayer and i log out it wont let me load in again and it just crashes

Ilove this setting. I use these to the T. They are amazing. I know u do not use Mods, but can you recommend some quality of life Mods or make a video also would be great.

Curious to know what the math formula is for the imprinting

I would put resource respawn time even lover because of a stupid bug wild card hasn't fixed after all these years and it somehow persisted in to ARK:SA

Started playing with these settings and I've found myself to be over encumbered pretty quickly when collecting simple resources, Is this normal? Should I knock down the yield amount a touch?

I can’t seem to know my creatures grow up too fast before the imprint

I'm looking to play ark single. I would like my settings set at 50x. Would any one know what to set my settings on the ps to. Or have a video or settings. Many thanks. Yes I know easy game but I would like to build and gather more and have a fast craft rate.

The biggest thing i wish i could change is that time carries on like on official when you log off

Will the dino max spawn level be 150?

I am wondering if I should turn down my XP for Ark Ascended. I feel like I go from bow to crossbow in a blink of the eye.

Are you able to send the mathematical formula for the breeding and imprinting

I have a problem with hatching eggs with this settings it doesn't incubate the health also doesn't go down

for anyone that just came for the settings here you go: *General SP Settings* Difficulty Level: 1.0 Dino Damage: *standard* Player Damage: *standard* Structure Damage: *standard* Player Resistance: *standard* Dino Resistance: *standard* Structure Resistance: *standard* XP Multiplier: 0.25 (ark has increased the XP to 4x so choose this for the normal vanilla experience) Taming Speed: 3.0 Structure Dmg Repair Cooldown: *standard* Dino turret Damage: *standard* Dino harvesting damage: *standard* Harvest Amount: 3.0 Player character water drain: *standard* Player characters food drain: *standard* Player character stamina drain: *standard* Dino character stamina drain: *standard* Player character health recovery: *standard* Dino character health recovery: *standard* Player harvesting damage: *standard* Dino count: *standard* Non-dedicated host tether distance: *standard* *Advanced settings* Allow cave building PVE: ✅ Allow flyer carry PVE:✅ PVE Structure decay period: *standard* PVE Dino decay period: *standard* AUTO PVE start time seconds: *standard* AUTO PVE stop time seconds: *standard* NON permanent Diseases: ✅ Override Structure platform prevention: ✅ Increase PVP Respawn Interval: ✅ Offline Raid protection Offline period: *standard* INC PVP Respawn Interval check period: *standard* INC PVP Respawn Interval Multiplier: *standard* INC PVP Respawn Interval Base: *standard* PVP Zone structure damage: *standard* Structure prevent resource radius Multiplier: 1.0 *World settings* Poop interval: 1.0 Lay egg interval: 1.0 Mating interval: 0.001 Egg hatch speed: 30.0 Baby mature speed: 42.5 Baby food consumption speed: 1.0 Harvest Health: 1.0 Resource Respawn Period: 0.3 Baby cuddle interval Multiplier: 0.035 Baby cuddle grace period Multiplier: 1.0 Baby cuddle lose Imprint quality speed Multiplier: 1.0 Baby Imprinting stat scale Multiplier: 1.0 Day cycle speed: 1.0 Day time speed: 1.0 Night time speed: 1.0 Spoiling time: 1.0 Item decomposition time: 0.0 NO Resource Radius - Players: 0.5 NO Resource Radius - Structures: 0.5 Crop growth speed: 1.0 Crop Decay speed: 1.0 WILD DINO STATS PER LEVEL *All is Default*

Is this version different from ark mobile?

You should make an updated one for ark survival ascended.

Can you tell me how to stop running in ark on ps4

I'm not really interested in peoples recommended settings I want to know how to set it up like official servers and 1 ain't it can't figure it out

I always have to set my FOV to 110 in admin command, but it messes up my spyglass and aim on my weapons. Ark really needs an Fov slider. :)

I changed my setting to much without realizing. Started the game punched a tree and immediately died 😂😂😂

Does anyone knows how to put mods on PS4? I've been playing Ark since 2016 and I always wanted to use structure +.

Question: If I have a world that has 0.5 difficulty Dino’s and I change the slider to 1.0, do all the Dino’s including tamed ones get scaled?

Do you (or anyone reading this) have map recomendations? I only played the island map

What is the max in the top part??? I have by taming a 3.0, can i put 6 or even 10???

Sorry but 0.25 is too slow xp gain for me what if i bump it to like 0.50 is that good?

Is it normall when applying these settings and starting a solo game, then close the game and restart all my settings are reset? Do i need to put it each time a want to play??

Anyone know how to get the Hawaiian shirts? I see it's in the cooking pot, I put the meat in the cooking pot but once I do that, I can't get it

1 life time for every single setting in any game no matter if its from 1999 or 2023 put aa OFF MOTION BLUR = 0

I think Ps4 still has no mods. Please correct me if I'm wrong :) not sure about Xbox.

Copied all settings they work very well 👍

Can you show official settings

can somone leave all the setting changes in the comment section?

I've used these settings but now my dinos don't gain levels? Help?

My dino levels are so low anyone know why and I have both of the settings on that should make them be high level but they are still really bad the best I found is a 120 and I been playing it for 3 week

1.75x playback speed sounds like Ben Shapiro

I know this is for single player, but. Ark Survival Evolved is broken now on Xbox. No admin command bar. Dedicated servers are unless now. Unless you buy Survival Ascended and pay for a service to run a Dedicated server. Not happening. It is a real same after all these years.

phlinger pls respond i get 0% imprint

Using these settings on xbox so i have no mods

I also found with pve enabled my wyvern wouldn't pick up wild thylas but with pvp enabled it would!

👍👍🤗🤗

Fully explain the “maths” involved with your baby mature speed and cuddle interval settings, you never explained how those work “in tandem” or in general. What math? Im asking genuinely and only have 13 hours in

video could have been half as long, too much bs

y’all imma tell y’all something no one told me when you player single player ark after like the first couple days in game once you’ve explored all the map everything stops spawning for example i was trynna take a queen bee but all the hives were duds you need to do admin code destroy wild dinos otherwise nothing will ever spawn

you talk a lot and it makes me mad

Why would anyone invest their time/money in a game who's producers are actively hostile to it's player base? Ya'll probly pay 2k a month in OF subs...
