Expanded Settings

This mod allows for additional control over game balance by exposing a number of game values for tweaking per file. It can be used to modify things like the global speed limit, block durability, thruster power, power generation efficiency, and much more.

Loading a file with this mod active creates a Config.xml file inside of the save folder (...\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<SteamId>\<SaveGameName>\Storage\2275037102.sbm_ExpandedSettings). You can edit the values in this file to change those values in game after loading back into the save.

This mod can be used for anything from minor tweaks to gameplay/balance (changing oxygen consumption, power generation efficiency, etc.) to the creation of very different gameplay styles and modes (serious nerf to ore yield, nerf to jetpack, etc.). Play around with the settings and see what fits your preference!

This is meant to be an all-purpose rebalancer mod, so feel free to suggest any additional controls that might be good to add in the comments below.

Setup Steps:

1. Subscribe to the mod 2. Add mod to world 3. Load into world once to generate Config.xml, ConfigBlueprint.xml, ConfigVoxel.xml, and PlanetCache files 4. Exit world 5. Make changes to Config.xml, ConfigBlueprint.xml, and ConfigVoxel.xml files at above location 6. Load back into world to see changes

NOTE: Do not edit PlanetCache xml file.

Notes

--All values are normalized to 1 by default, so setting all values back to 1 will change nothing about default gameplay. If there are any issues with any of the values being applied, setting them to -1 will make them not be used (i.e. if there are conflicts with other mods, this allows parts of this mod to be disabled individually).

--If you don't see an option here listed in the file, it's possible it has been added to the mod since the file was created. You can delete the Config.xml file and load into the world to force it to regenerate with all the correct options listed.

--I am currently primarily working on another mod, so it might be a while before I get a chance to take another pass at this one and add in any new suggestions. I will try to respond, though!
