How to Change the Max Tamed Dinos Limit on Your ARK: Survival Evolved Server

Configuration Element	Exact Code	Notes
Header Section	[ServerSettings]	Ensure this is present in the file. General server population limits must go beneath this specific header.

6. Understanding the Configuration

Because this setting acts as a global server cap, it applies to all tribes combined, not just individual players.

5000 (Default): The standard limit, balancing population size with server stability.

9500: Accommodates massive breeding operations and kibble farms, but increases the risk of server lag.
