i want to go into my ark server settings like the game users ini but it forces me to add new code but i want to be able to adjust the pre-existing settings wiithout spending ages scrolling through the pre-made menu. the reason for this is i want to play along with people who have posted their server settings as a copy and paste.

Any code you add inot your gameusersettrings.ini file under expert setting will overwrite all default values.

With this host there is not a way to modify the Advanced Settings with the ini.

The host, at server restart, takes all of the additions made on the expert tab, then appends them with the Advanced tab.

This has an added advantage of ensuring you have no settings conflicts due to writing out options multiple times.
