Good to know
- All values are in the file's [SandboxSettings] section. The generator writes toggles as True or False.
- Server name, world name, and player count aren't set in SandboxSettings.ini. You set them in your server's web interface.
- SandboxSettings.ini belongs to a single world and is located in that world's Worlds/<world-name>/ folder.
- When you import a file, the generator loads only these 19 keys into the form. All other settings lines in your file are preserved when you export it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Abiotic Factor sandbox settings
File location, existing worlds, importing, Easy Mode, and generator limitations — briefly explained.
The file is specific to each world and is located at AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/<world-name>/SandboxSettings.ini, or at AbioticFactor\Saved\SaveGames\Server\Worlds\<world-name>\SandboxSettings.ini on Windows. <world-name> stands for the name of your game world. On a ZAP-Hosting server, you can open and edit it through the File Manager in the panel.
Yes. Upload the new SandboxSettings.ini to that world's folder, replace the old file, and restart the server. Abiotic Factor reads the file only at startup. Copying or downloading it alone won't change anything on your server.
In Abiotic Factor, server name, world name, and player count aren't set in SandboxSettings.ini; you set them in your server's web interface. The generator therefore covers only the file's gameplay settings.
19 settings in four categories. Difficulty & World: GameDifficulty (0–3), HardcoreMode, day-night cycle speed, weather frequency, outlets off at night, and LootRespawnEnabled. Combat & Enemies: enemy spawn rate, health and damage, plus friendly fire. Progression & Items: XP multiplier, stack size, durability, and starting inventory size. Social & Building: death messages, recipe sharing, pager, structure support limit, and HomeWorlds.
Describe the server you want in your own words, or click one of three suggestions: a balanced default server, a hardcore server with stronger enemies, or a relaxed co-op server with faster XP gains. The AI suggests suitable values, explains each change, and applies only what you confirm.
Yes. Paste the contents or upload a .ini or .txt file up to 2 MB. The generator loads recognized keys into the form. All other settings lines are preserved when you export the file.
You'll find both toggles under Difficulty & World. LootRespawnEnabled lets looted containers refill over time; HardcoreMode makes character death permanent. Both default to False. Set them to True, upload the file, and restart the server.
Yes. The form, Easy Mode, import, copy, download, and sharing all work without an account. The file is generated directly in your browser. Only Easy Mode sends your description and current values to an AI, and it briefly limits excessive requests. A sharing link contains the values you've changed from the defaults.
