Need help with server settings please!

Dear forum members,
for some time now we have been creating and maintaining new ways to help game server admins with questions and problems as quickly as possible, e.g. our Guides section and the Nitrado Community Discord.

Therefore, we inform you that the Nitrado Forum will be closed on March 31, 2023. We are consolidating our community support to our Discord channel, which is faster and more efficient. We have also seen incredible growth in our community due to the hard work of our moderators and our bots. We are confident that this move will ensure that we provide the best support possible for our users.

Thank you to all members for your continued use of the forum!

Assistance with all questions concerning your Nitrado service can now be found in these spots:

    Hey all! I recently set up a Nitrado server for the game (NOT an advertisement!) and I am wondering if there's anyone who does have a server on Nitrado that can help with some setting questions. Anything I search for via Google has to do with other providers, and it doesn't seem like things are labeled exactly the same in Nitrado, so I'm having trouble pinpointing certain things.


    The main thing I want to talk about is item spawn. We are trying to up the item multiplier, but I'm not exactly sure what the settings mean. I'll post our current setup at the end of the post for reference. I was wondering which settings are ALL for items, because some things talk about Spawners, then there's a category for Item Virtualization and one for Item Spawning. What the heck is the difference? What is Event Processing? I have too many questions really. So I was wondering if someone would take time to break things down for me? This could be done here or in message, discord, whatever. I just need some help please?

    Hi there,


    To edit the items spawn you must modify this section of your ServerSettings.ini file:


    [SCUM.ItemSpawning]

    SpawnerProbabilityMultiplier=100

    ExamineSpawnerProbabilityMultiplier=100

    ExamineSpawnerExpirationTimeMultiplier=.4

    SpawnerGroupsExpirationTimeInMinutesMultiplier=1

    SpawnerGroupsExpirationTimeInMinutes=10


    ^ ^ Your ExamineSpawnerProbabilityMultiplier and SpawnerProbabilityMultiplier are set way too high btw....


    This is what I have set for my server for increased loot (defaults are 1,1,30,1):


    [SCUM.ItemSpawning]

    SpawnerProbabilityMultiplier=5

    ExamineSpawnerProbabilityMultiplier=5

    SpawnerGroupsExpirationTimeInMinutes=15

    ExamineSpawnerExpirationTimeMultiplier=0.5


    When posting large amounts of code/settings please use a spoiler section going forward.


    Cheers,
