Managing the HLNA Economy


The HLNA Hexagon Store allows players to spend mission points on items and resources. Unlike other systems in Ark, managing this store via standard INI files is significantly limited.

The Core Difficulty

Ark’s native engine does not provide a simple PriceMultiplier for the Hexagon Shop. Customizing the items requires overriding the fundamental crate definitions, which is prone to breaking during game updates.
We strongly suggest using external logic rather than fighting the INI system.
  1. API: Install the Ark Server API (C++ Loader).
  2. Plugins: Use free plugins like ArkShop.
  3. Control: These allow you to define items and prices in a simple config.json file that is far more stable than raw INI edits.

The INI Alternative (Inflation)

If you cannot use plugins, you can adjust the “value” of Hexagons by changing how many players earn:
  • Variable: HexagonRewardMultiplier=2.0 in GameUserSettings.ini.
  • This effectively makes items “cheaper” by doubling the currency reward from all missions.
