HOW TO TURN ON THE FLOATING NUMBERS ON DAMAGE FOR YOUR ARK SERVER?

FLOATING DAMAGE NUMBERS IN ARK:SE YOUR DINO'S BITE IN NUMBERS!

Want to know exactly how much damage your T-Rex is dealing with each chomp? ARK:Survival Evolved offers a fantastic visual feature that many veteran players swear by - floating damage numbers!

This handy setting displays numerical damage values above creatures during combat, giving you real-time feedback without diving into stat menus during the heat of battle. When enabled, you'll see colourful numbers pop up with each hit:

• Green numbers indicate friendly damage (your tribe's attacks)
• Yellow numbers show enemy damage or damage being dealt
