Introduction​

Player difficulty in HumanitZ determines how punishing the survival experience is. From permanent death to vital drain speed and bandit strength, these settings directly impact how challenging your server feels.

Configuration​

Player difficulty settings are controlled in the GameServerSettings.ini file. You can access this file in your server management panel under Configs. Inside the config file, locate the following parameters:

;When set to true the player that died will lose their character and have to create a new one
PermaDeath=false

;0=Lose nothing, 1=Lose backpack and weapon in hand, 2=Previous + pockets and backpack, 3=All previous + Equipment
OnDeath=2

;Sleep deprivation effect false=Disabled true=Enabled
Sleep=true

;How fast your vitals drain 0=Slow, 1=Normal, 2=Fast
VitalDrain=1

;Dog companion health 0=Low 1=Default 2=High
CompanionHealth=1

;Dog companion damage 0=Low 1=Default 2=High
CompanionDmg=1

;The time in minutes it takes for human bandits to respawn, set to 0 to disable human bandit respawning.
HumanRespawnTimer=90

;Human bandit difficulty where 0=Very Easy, 1=Easy, 2=Default, 3=Hard, 4=Very Hard, 5=Nightmare
HumanHealth=2

;Human bandit speed difficulty where 0=Very Easy, 1=Easy, 2=Default, 3=Hard, 4=Very Hard, 5=Nightmare
HumanSpeed=2

;Human bandit damage difficulty where 0=Very Easy, 1=Easy, 2=Default, 3=Hard, 4=Very Hard, 5=Nightmare
HumanDamage=2

Below is a breakdown of what each setting controls:

  • PermaDeath – When set to true, players permanently lose their character upon death and must create a new one
  • OnDeath – Defines how much inventory is lost when a player dies
  • Sleep – Enables or disables sleep deprivation effects
  • VitalDrain – Controls how quickly hunger, thirst, and other vitals decrease
  • CompanionHealth – Sets the health level of the dog companion
  • CompanionDmg – Sets the damage level of the dog companion
  • HumanRespawnTimer – Determines how long it takes for human bandits to respawn (0 disables respawning)
  • HumanHealth – Adjusts bandit health difficulty
  • HumanSpeed – Adjusts bandit movement speed difficulty
  • HumanDamage – Adjusts bandit damage difficulty

Modify the values according to your desired difficulty level. After editing the file, save your changes and restart the server for the new settings to take effect.
