View source for ANEURISM IV/Gameplay settings

{{ANEURISMNav}}

Put these settings in <code>customserverrules.cfg</code> inside the [[ANEURISM IV/Server configuration#Data directory|data directory]]. Names are case-sensitive. Each value must be in double quotes:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
# customserverrules.cfg
fateRespawnTime "15"
eventWartimeDuration "900"
lootCycleLootRate "4"
rewardBankerTransaction "Medium"
</syntaxhighlight>

The tables list the shipped defaults for version <code>20-preview1</code>. Use whole numbers for counts, seconds for durations unless the name specifies minutes, and a decimal point for fractional values. A fraction such as <code>0.1</code> means 10% where the setting describes a tax or percentage.

Change a few values at a time and check the result in a test world. The game doesn't impose a useful minimum and maximum on every gameplay value. Keep intervals positive, minimums below maximums, and player attributes within values your rules can support.

Restart to apply all settings. <code>reloadservercfg</code> rereads the file, but already running timers and player instances can retain values until they are recreated. The loot interval needs a restart; the per-cycle item counts can be reloaded. Deleting a line requires a restart to restore its default. <code>printvariables</code> lists gameplay setting names available in the installed game; it runs on the local client and isn't a remote server status command.

== Events and rituals ==

The default darkness cooldown is 35 minutes. Set <code>darknessCooldownSeconds</code> explicitly if you want to change it along with the darkness duration.

|}

== Loot, economy, and objects ==

Keep the spelling <code>fishinMaxTargetDescendDelay</code> as written. The game uses that name for the maximum fishing target descent delay. <code>lootCycleLootRate</code> is the number of items per player per loot cycle; the minimum, maximum, and per-container settings limit the result.

== Rewards and penalties ==

Reward amounts accept <code>Tiny</code> (1), <code>Small</code> (2), <code>Medium</code> (4), <code>Large</code> (8), <code>ExtraLarge</code> (16), or an integer. These are reward points. Penalties whose default is a number take an integer.

The civil-terminal reward settings also affect ration stations. Without an override, their repair rewards differ as shown above; setting <code>rewardRepairCivilTerminal</code> applies the chosen amount to both. Keep spellings such as <code>penaltyAttackerUnjustifed</code> and <code>rewardMetalworksIngotHitContibution</code> exactly as listed.

== Fate overrides ==

Use <code>customobjectvalues.cfg</code> to change a specific fate. Each line contains <code>fates.&lt;fate-id&gt;.&lt;field&gt;</code> followed by a quoted value. The category, fate ID, and field spelling must match exactly:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
# customobjectvalues.cfg
fates.prole.maxHealth "120"
fates.prole.walkSpeed "4.5"
fates.prole.UseHunger "0"
</syntaxhighlight>

These examples change the Prole's maximum health, walking speed, and hunger use. The file accepts numeric and boolean fate fields. Use <code>1</code> and <code>0</code> for booleans. It doesn't accept a loadout, ability list, or arbitrary object name.

Common fields include:

{| class="wikitable"
! Field !! Value
|-
| <code>maxHealth</code> || Maximum health.
|-
| <code>regenerateHealth</code> || <code>1</code> to enable health regeneration, <code>0</code> to disable it.
|-
| <code>walkSpeed</code>, <code>crouchSpeed</code>, <code>sprintSpeed</code> || Movement speeds.
|-
| <code>BaseStamina</code> || Stamina amount.
|-
| <code>CanCrouch</code>, <code>CanJump</code>, <code>CanSprint</code> || Enable or disable those actions with <code>1</code> or <code>0</code>.
|-
| <code>UseSanity</code>, <code>UseHunger</code>, <code>UseThirst</code> || Enable or disable those player values with <code>1</code> or <code>0</code>.
|-
| <code>UseLimit</code>, <code>MaxFateLimit</code> || Enable a fate limit with <code>UseLimit "1"</code> and set its count through <code>MaxFateLimit</code>.
|}

Fate defaults depend on the selected fate. Restart the server after editing this file, then reconnect to check the result. An invalid fate ID or unsupported field is reported in the server log.
