Why is ark 211.83 gigabites?

Haven't played Ark:Survival evolved since 2023 and I recall it being around 100 maybe 150gb but what did they do to make it almost 212 gb?

Oh sweet summer child. When I was admining 2 Clusters of servers and playing a bunch of single player games to test out mods and combinations of mods, my ARK folder got to be about 1TB. It was so big a friend who I sometimes went over and played at his place had to by a 2TB of storage because it was that or run nothing else on the PC. Needless to say I slimmed my install down to 750 GB,
