Sets a maximum player level for everyone on the server.

If the configured cap is lower than a player's current level, they'll automatically be given the opportunity to reassign their stat points.

This mod only reduces the maximum level — it does not increase ARK's built-in level cap. It's designed for servers that want a more challenging progression system with fewer available engrams.

Console commands

cheat ScriptCommand SetLevelCap ‹level›

Argument	Type	Description
`‹level›`	Integer	Sets the level cap to the specified value. Note that if `SetLevelOnStartup` is included in the ini, the value will be overridden on server startup.

Example: cheat ScriptCommand SetLevelCap 50

Server configuration

The following options must come under the [LevelCap] section of GameUserSettings.ini:

Variable	Type	Default value	Description
`SetLevelOnStartup`	Integer	N/A	Sets the level cap to the specified value whenever the server/session starts up. If this config is not set, the cap from the previous session will continue.
`GiveXPForLevels`	Boolean	`False`	If `True`, players are given the experience to level up to the cap.

Example:
[LevelCap] SetLevelOnStartup=50 GiveXPForLevels=False
