ARK has thousands of tunables. AASM's settings sub-tabs cover the common ones; the Overrides sub-tab covers the rest. Anything you can write into Game.ini or GameUserSettings.ini by hand, you can paste here and AASM merges it at write time.
Prerequisites:
Server tab → Overrides sub-tab.
The Overrides tab has two separate sections - one for Game.ini lines, one for GameUserSettings.ini lines. Make sure you paste the right snippet into the right section, or ARK will ignore it.
Include the section header. Example for GameUserSettings.ini:
[ServerSettings] SomeCustomKey=true AnotherKey=42.0
Example for Game.ini:
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] HarvestAmountMultiplier=3.0 CraftXPMultiplier=2.0
When AASM writes the .ini files, it merges in this order:
Duplicate-section safety (v0.8.2 fix): earlier builds could create duplicate [ModSettings] sections when the case differed; v0.8.2 introduced case-insensitive section/key matching (BUG-ModSettingsCaseInsensitive). The same case-insensitive merge applies to overrides - if you paste [serversettings] and the existing file has [ServerSettings], AASM merges them rather than duplicating.
Click Confirm Saved. Restart the server. Tail the server log on first restart to spot any "could not parse config" warnings - they usually indicate a typo in your override.
Overrides let you customize anything. Use them sparingly, document your overrides somewhere (Discord pin / a text file), and snapshot before/after changes.
