Avorion Configuration Guide
These are the server options which can be found in the server.ini :
| Option | Effect | Default |
|---|---|---|
| [Game Options] | ||
| BigWreckageDespawnTime | Time in seconds it takes for new (as in: not created by the generator but during gameplay, such as combat) large wreckages (more than 15 blocks) to disappear. | 1800 |
| CollisionDamage | A multiplier for damage to colliding objects. Accepts floating-point numbers, e.g. 0.5 is 50% collision damage. | 1 |
| Difficulity | Note the typo. The difficulty of the server. Accepts an integer between -3 and 3. [Needs testing] | 0 |
| InfiniteResources | Toggles infinite resources (or "creative mode") server wide | false |
| SafePlayerInput | [Experimental] If enabled, updates sent from players to server are double checked and only control input is accepted to avoid cheating/hacking.
Disabling this will result in much smoother performance at the time of this writing. Enabling this may result in very bad performance over slow networks. |
false |
| Seed | The random seed used for galaxy generation. Accepts upper and lower case letters and numbers. | [random] |
| SmallWreckageDespawnTime | Time in seconds it takes for new (as in: not created by the generator but during gameplay, such as combat) small wreckages (15 blocks or less) to disappear. | 900 |
| sameStartSector | Indicates if all players should start in the same sector. If false, a random empty sector on the outer rim is populated and used as the home sector for each new player. | true |
| startUpScript | Specifies a Lua script to run on server startup. | data/scripts/server/server.lua |
| startSectorScript | Specifies a Lua script to run when generating a start sector for a player. | startsector[.lua] |
| ColorDropChanceFromCraft | [Currently unused] The chance that a color will drop from a space craft when the craft is destroyed | 0.05 |
| ColorDropChanceFromBlock | [Currently unused] The chance that a color will drop from a block of wreckage when it is destroyed | 0.0025 |
| ResourceDropChance | [Currently unused] Chance of resources dropping from destroyed blocks | 0.4 |
| LootDiminishingFactor | [Currently unused] Multiplier that's applied to the value of a block/wreckage/ship to determine the dropped money and resources. | 0.005 |
| SystemDropChanceFromBlock | [Currently unused] The chance that a ship system will drop from a block of wreckage when it is destroyed | 0.005 |
| SystemDropChanceFromCraft | [Currently unused] The chance that a ship system will drop from an NPC space craft when the craft is destroyed | 0.2 |
| TurretDropChanceFromBlock | [Currently unused] The chance that a turret will drop from a block of wreckage when it is destroyed | 0.005 |
