How to Disable Death Penalties on your Abiotic Factor Server
By default, Abiotic Factor applies death penalties when a player dies, causing them to drop their items and apply durability loss.
If you prefer a more forgiving experience, you can disable or modify death penalties to prevent players from dropping items upon death.
#Disabling Death Penalties
You can modify the DeathPenalties setting in the SandboxSettings.ini file via the Shockbyte Panel.
-
Navigate to the Shockbyte Panel.
-
Click Files.
- Navigate to
AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/<Your Save Name>.
- Click SandboxSettings.ini.
- Locate the DeathPenalties setting and change the value to
0.
- Click Save and Restart
If you want to customize death penalties rather than disable them entirely, you can adjust the setting to one of the following values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Keep all items upon death |
| 1 | Keep equipped items & hotbar. |
| 2 | Keep hotbar items only. |
| 3 | Keep equipped items only. |
| 4 | Lose all items, including hotbar. |
| 5 | All items are permanently destroyed. |
