Balanced leveling
By CorvoSnow
I've been looking for a ARK high level config, and every one that i found makes it in my opinion too easy and fast. On one it was possible for me to get to level 60 in 1 minute on 1x xp. So, i took the time out and wanted to create what is my preferred config, i'll also leave in the website, and it's values and math for you to keep going farther.

The actual config and how to edit it.
First off how to edit the config for those who might not know how;

1. Go into your ARK directory, to do this, right click on ARK and press properties. Then press the local files tab, and then browse local files.

2. Then once you're in there, follow this; ShooterGame > Saved > Config > WindowsNoEditor once you're in there you'll see your different configuration files, double click the game file.

3. Now, scroll to the bottom of the file, and then copy and paste what is below at the bottom.

If you want this to just apply to players copy and paste this once, if you want it to affect dino's too then paste it right below the first one.

How to edit this yourself, and the math behind it.
To edit it will be longer and might require 2 sections so i'll start with the math behind the XP per level and granted engram points per level.

Alright, so with the website CLICK ME! [arksurvivalevolved.gamewalkthrough-universe.com] the website does it like this: Level - XP - Engram for the list on the left, and on the right is for your dinos. I made there 150 levels.

This may get confusing, but i'll explain it as in depth as i can, it starts out until level 20 by leveling by 10xp I.E 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, ETC. Every 20 levels i did X2. So for example, level 19 requires 200 XP. But level 20 requires 400. This stays constant but with some change later on. But past level 20 instead of going up by increments of 10, now it's 20. An example, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, ETC. So every 20 levels you double it so whatever was before numbers like 20, 40, 60, 80 are all doubled. And on top of that you double the growth as well. So levels 0-20 go up by 10, levels 20-40 go up by 20, levels 40-60 go up by 40, levels 60-80 go up by 80, levels 80-100 go up by 160, levels 100-120 go up by 320, levels 120-140 go up by 640, however levels 140-150 stay that constant but 140 is still doubled from 139, so if you want to go farther, just change the constant for levels 140-160 to 1280, then so on and so forth.
However engrams are much easier to explain, it goes up by 4 every 8 levels.

If i did a bad job at explaining that, please, feel free to put a comment and ask me any questions and i'll be able to help you.
