Dont think ARK is dangerous enough? Want to make death "mean" something?
This mod adds an XP penalty for death. When you die, a debuff is applied causing you to gain XP at a reduced rate for a specified amount. Multiple deaths are added together up to the max amount of XP specified as a debuff.
In game alerts, server wide cannon sounds on death, and discord webhook alerts are also included as configurable options.
Config options - add any of these to your GameUserSettings.ini file under the section [KnotDeathMod]. All options have sensible defaults and will work without any changes except for the discord alert.

For example if your current level needs 200 total XP to get to the next level, and your death penalty is 10%, then your XP penalty will be 20XP.
DeathPenaltyMaxXP=1000000
(default is 75,000 - value must be between 5 and 100,000,000) - this determines the max cap amount of XP that can be applied across one or multiple deaths.
