## Accessing the Configuration

To modify gameplay rules, you must edit the server's primary settings file:

1. **Navigate:** Go to `/save-data/Settings/` in your File Manager.
2. **File:** Open `ServerGameSettings.json`.
3. **Requirement:** If this file is missing, start the server once to allow the engine to generate the default template, then stop the server.

***

## Essential Modifiers

Here are the most commonly requested adjustments:

### 1. Inventory & Stacking

* **Variable:** `"InventoryStacksModifier": 1.0`
* **Effect:** Increasing this to `2.0` doubles the stack size of all items (e.g., holding 1000 Stone instead of 500).

### 2. Loot & Yield

* **Variable:** `"MaterialYieldModifier_Global": 1.0`
* **Effect:** Controls how many resources you get from hitting trees/rocks. Set to `3.0` for a "3x Gather" server.
* **Variable:** `"DropTableModifier_General": 1.0`
* **Effect:** Controls loot dropped by mobs and bosses.

### 3. Day/Night Cycle

* **Variable:** `"DayDurationInSeconds": 1080`
* **Effect:** Determines the length of a full 24-hour cycle. Increase this number to make days (and therefore nights) last longer.
* **Variable:** `"SunDamageModifier": 1.0`
* **Effect:** Reduce to `0.5` to make the sun inflict 50% less damage per tick, giving vampires a better chance of survival during the day.

  ### JSON Syntax Warning

  This file is sensitive to syntax errors. A missing comma `,` at the end of a line or an unclosed bracket `}` will cause the server to **reset to default settings** upon boot. We strongly recommend copying your content into a JSON Validator before saving.
