Features

Resets dungeons/locations when a player approaches them given the player is hosting the chunk and there is no "player activity" nearby. Locations will not reset until the second time it is visited with this mod installed given the ResetTime has been reached. For example, if you install this mod then visit a burial chamber on Day 100 it will not reset until visited on or after day 130 (given the default reset time is 30). Similarly, this mod has the ability to reset Leviathans in their original spawn locations.

Player activity includes:

• A Player has built anything near the entrance to or inside the location
• There is a Tombstone near the entrance to or inside the location
• There is a Player inside the location

There are advanced options in the config file to set individual reset times for certain locations. To use the advanced options set OverrideResetTimes to true, you must then customize all overridden values. Any locations not specified in the config will use the default value and cannot be changed individually. If you do not want specific locations to reset you can set the reset time to an arbitrarily large value like 100000, or any value that will be greater than the number of expected passed in-game days.

Console Commands (Cheats)

To perform a manual reset use the `resetlocations command. To specify a range use a whole number: resetlocations 10`. Maximum range for the manual reset command is 100 and defaults to 20. Manual resets will ignore time and Player activity restrictions specified above. This can cause loss of player built structures and tombstones. PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION.

A second command `resetitemstands can be used to pop all items off item stands in range similar to the previous command. This can be used to reset boss stones and remove all trophies without deleting anything. To only remove one approach it and use a small range such as resetitemstands 3`.

Don't know how to use commands? Dedicated servers do not allow for use of commands, but there are mods that can enable them (like Server devcommands by JereKuusela). The command added by this mod is considered a "cheat". To use cheats you must enable them with the "devcommands" command, you may have to be an admin for them to work depending on what mod you use to access commands.

Locations Supported

"Sky locations" are any dungeon or location that is generated suspended in the sky in the game. If the location has a teleporting feature it probably is located in the sky. The following examples are considered "sky locations":

• Troll Caves
• Burial Chambers
• Sunken Crypts
• Frost Caves
• Infested Mines/Citadel
• Morgen Holes

"Ground locations" are every other type of location in the game. This mod supports resetting all kinds of ground locations including abandoned buildings, shipwrecks, infested trees, tar pits, etc. If you do not want to reset ground locations set `ResetGroundLocations` to False. This will not apply for meadows farms/villages or fuling camps as those locations are considered dungeons and are in a separate category (large locations with randomly generated "rooms"). It will also not apply to any location that has an individual reset time in the configuration file like the CharredFortress. Read more about the allow list below for more customization options.

If you are using another mod that adds custom locations or dungeons you may see this mod behave unexpectedly. If you would like support added for another mod please reach out to me in my discord (link below).

Skip Player Ground Piece Check

If you want "sky locations" to reset even if players have built/died around the entrance set the `SkipPlayerGroundPieceCheck` config to true. This will change the logic to check only for activity inside the sky location. This check will always occur for ground locations, you cannot disable it for them. The check for player activity is dependant on the size of the location, bigger dungeons will have a wider range for the activity check. If you suspect the mod is not working as intended it might be due to this player activity check, test the reset on a new area where no player has built to ensure the mod is working as intended.
