Beyond the Level Cap

By default, Ark survivors are capped at Level 105 (excluding Ascension bonuses). For community servers that want longer progression, you can increase this limit to 300 or higher. This is achieved by implementing a LevelExperienceRampOverrides configuration, which defines exactly how much experience is required for every single level.

Implementing the Override

Because you must define the experience required for every level from 1 to your new cap, the resulting code block can be extremely long. You should never attempt to write this manually.
1

Generate the Code

Use an online Ark Level Ramp Generator. Input your desired max level and the desired “feel” of the XP curve (e.g., linear or exponential).
2

Locate Game.ini

Log in to your Game Panel, go to the Files tab, and open Game.ini.
3

Paste the Configuration

Find the [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] header. Paste your generated LevelExperienceRampOverrides block directly beneath it.
4

Define Max XP

For the new ramp to function, you must also define the absolute maximum experience permitted for a player. Add this line:
OverrideMaxExperiencePointsPlayer=5000000
Note: Ensure this number is higher than the total XP required for your final level.

​
Dinosaur Level Overrides

You can apply this same logic to your tamed creatures to allow them to gain more levels after being tamed.
You must generate a second override specifically for dinosaurs. In your Game.ini, this will look similar to the player override but uses the OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino variable.
