Ark: Survival Evolved has numerous customizations available for players on the server. One of the more popular settings is the floating damage numbers; this allows players to accurately assess their dinos' actions without directly looking at their stats. In addition, this setting can let you see when combat is happening a distance away, as the numbers will be displayed from a distance. The green numbers displayed are friendly, while yellow is damage dealt or enemy damage.
Note: Floating damage numbers can cause lag for some PCs, especially during high-intensity or large-scale battles.
