How to Configure the Difficulty of your HumanitZ Server

There are a variety of difficulty-related configuration options available to HumanitZ server owners. By customising these options, you can configure your server to be exactly as difficult as you see fit.


Configuring the Server Difficulty

You can change the game / A.I. difficulty on your server using the HumanitZ Server Settings file on your server's control panel.

There isn't one singular setting you can adjust to change your overall game difficulty, but you can modify a handful of different aspects to make the game more difficult.

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
    Navigate to your server config files
  3. Click HumanitZ Server Settings.
  4. Make your desired changes to one or more of the following configuration options:
