Game.ini file keeps being cleared #1087

Closed darkjedeye closed 4 years ago

darkjedeye commented 4 years ago

Hi there, i have been trying to increase the breeding rates on my server, only 1 instance, small family server, And from what i have read, i have to place the settings in the Game.ini file, i have, but it keeps getting cleared to have no content... is it something i am doing wrong? do the settings go there?

I'm lost, as i am fairly new to maintaining my own Linux server

If the format of the file is invalid (e.g. it is UTF8 with non-ascii characters, or is not valid as an ini file), then the game server itself will replace it with the default (which is empty).

i open the file in linux using nano, and then add the things in by typing, not copy paste, which as far as i know would keep the file format, right?

sorted, no worries.... turns out typos suck.

What do you mean by breeding?

In the Game.ini you should put the [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] section.

In here you find all settings you can set: Game.ini serversettings

In your case it should be the following settings:

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier= Value = floatDefault = 1.0 Higher number decreases (by percentage) time needed for fertilized egg to hatchIntroduced in patch 219.0
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier= Value = floatDefault = 1.0 Higher number decreases (by percentage) time needed for baby dino to matureIntroduced in patch 219.0
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier= Value = floatDefault = 1.0 Lower number decreases (by percentage) the speed that baby dinos eat their foodIntroduced in patch 222.3

E.g. this config will reduce Egg hatching by half and baby mature time by half

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=0.5
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=0.5
