How to change custom gameplay settings on a Sons of the Forest server

GameSettings contains rules that can apply in any mode, including tree regrowth and structure damage. CustomGameModeSettings is used when a new save is created with GameMode set to custom.

1. Back up the server, stop it and open the Text Editor for dedicatedserver.cfg.
2. Change only the required value and preserve the surrounding JSON.

   

3. For a custom world, set GameMode to custom before creating that save.
4. Click Save & Exit, start the server and test one change at a time.

Common choices include enemy health, damage, armour and aggression; animal spawn rate; starting season; season length and day length. Boolean values use true or false without quotation marks.
