How to Adjust Resource Multipliers on Your Renown Server
Adjusting resource multipliers on your Renown server allows you to customize how quickly players progress and gather materials.

Access your control panel. 2. Stop your server before making any changes. 3. Navigate to the Config tab. 4. Locate the Renown / Game Mode Multipliers section. 5.

Click Save, then Start your server to apply the changes. --- Available Multipliers and Descriptions | Multiplier | Description | |-----------------|-----------------| | Resource Gain Multiplier | Adjusts how many resources (wood, stone, etc.) players gather. Higher values mean more resources per action. | | Gold Coin Gain Multiplier | Modifies how quickly players earn gold coins. | | Global Crafting Multiplier | Changes the crafting speed. Higher values result in faster crafting times. | | Global Smelting Multiplier | Controls how quickly smelting processes occur. Higher values shorten smelting times. | | Global Resource Respawn Time Multiplier | Affects how quickly resource nodes (trees, ore) respawn. Lower values make them respawn faster. | | Global Maintenance Cost Multiplier | Adjusts the upkeep cost for structures and items. Lower values make maintenance cheaper. | | Global Decay Damage Multiplier | Determines how fast structures take decay damage.
