How to Change the Resource Respawn Radius on Your ARK: Survival Evolved Server

Note:

To ensure your configuration changes are saved successfully without the live server engine overwriting them, go to your main Cybrancee dashboard and click Stop.
If the header already exists in your file, simply add the lines directly underneath it instead of duplicating the header

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Stop Your Server

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

4. Open the ‘GameUserSettings.ini‘ File

Navigate to:

/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

---

5. Edit the ‘GameUserSettings.ini‘ File

Tip: Use Ctrl + F to quickly find the required setting inside GameUserSettings.ini file

Configuration Element	Exact Code	Notes
Header Section	[ServerSettings]	Ensure this is present in the file. General server environment rules must go beneath this specific header.
Resource Radius Multiplier	StructurePreventResourceRadiusMultiplier=1.000000	Place directly under the header. Multiplies the distance from structures where resources cannot respawn. Lower values (0.5) allow resources closer; higher values (2.0) push them away.

6. Understanding the Configuration

Because this acts as a distance multiplier, you must LOWER the number to let resources spawn closer.

1.0 (Default): Standard resource block radius around player structures.

0.5: Cuts the no-spawn zone in half, allowing trees and rocks to respawn much closer to base walls.

8. Restart Your Server
