List of Config Files/serversettings.xml

"serversettings.xml" is the config file for hosting a server, everything form server name to auto ban time is stored in this file.

It is recommended to change these settings in the lobby, if possible, for simplicity's sake.

Most notable settings that might be relevant for hosting (private) games that cannot be changed in the lobby are:

• AllowedRandomMissionTypes (one may disable missions based on personal preferences)
• KickAFKTime (time after which an incative player is kicked from the server)
• KillDisconnectedTime (time after which a disconnected player's character dies ingame, increase this value if the crew has troubble reconnecting fast enough)

Changes made in this file only apply on start/restart of the game.
