You have to make a decision to use 'expert mode' or use the WebUI of the server to set your settings. You cant do both. The ini is blank because you are not using expert settings yet. Most use the Webui for the settings, save. Then go to engine settings on the left which access your game.ini. Save.
Then do a restart. Once restarted do a 'save configuration profile' on the left. This will save your gus.ini and game.ini settings.

im in expert settings tho i choose to go straight into it cause i know how to do some of the settings but theres no settings in it i have some in the gameusersettings but my game.ini was empty no settings or anything?
-
Correct. You have to put some in.
This link will give some ideas what to place: ARK ".ini" corner

but why are the default ones not there thats all im really in need of got my custom drop and recipe codes just need the default ones
for xp and taming ect

Again, this is expert settings. You will need to add them in yourself.
Example:

What you could also do is use the WebUI to do all those settings, save. Then go over to expert. Some of them will move over.
Or use the file browser and edit them there.
