  2. Under Config files, click Gameplay Settings.
  3. In Difficulty, set Difficulty preset to Custom: use the settings below.
  4. Scroll to Custom difficulty: players and change the values.
The Custom difficulty: players group on the Gameplay Settings page
  1. Click Save & restart, or Save only to wait for the next restart.

A multiplier of 1 is the game's normal value.

Ideas

  • A gentler game: raise Player health and Player stamina, keep Starving off, set On death to Keep everything, no tombstone.
  • A harder game: turn Starving on, lower Time from hungry to starving (minutes), lower Food buff duration, set On death to Drop everything.
  • Faster levelling for a short event: raise the three Experience values.

Good to know

  • Characters are stored on each player's computer. These settings change how the world treats them, not their saved levels.
  • Keen Games notes that the game uses the minimum or maximum when a number is outside the range. The panel refuses such a value instead, so you see the problem right away.
