Siege Management: Raid Windows

In V Rising, “Raiding” involves crafting a Siege Golem to breach enemy castle walls. To maintain a healthy community and prevent “offline raiding” (where players are destroyed while sleeping at 4 AM), we recommend restricting Golem usage to specific real-world hours.

1. Weekday Schedule

"VSCastleWeekdayTime": {
  "StartHour": 17,
  "EndHour": 23,
  "TimeZone": 0
},
  • Interpretation: Raiding is enabled from 17:00 (5 PM) to 23:00 (11 PM) server time, Monday through Friday.

​
2. Weekend Schedule

"VSCastleWeekendTime": {
  "StartHour": 15,
  "EndHour": 23,
  "TimeZone": 0
},
  • Interpretation: A longer window is typically provided on weekends when more players are active.

​
Golem Mechanics

Beyond the time window, you can tweak the Golem itself:
  • Variable: "CastleSiegeTimer": 100
  • Effect: This is the time (in seconds) it takes for a Golem to activate after placement. Increasing this to 300 (5 minutes) gives defenders more time to rally and counter-attack before their walls can be damaged.

​
PvE Mode

If you wish to disable raiding entirely, simply change the "GameModeType" to "PvE". This automatically disables castle damage and hostile player interactions without needing to manually edit the raid timers.
