Custom Difficulty

If you want to customize the server difficulty that every player will use in your server, follow these easy steps!

Step 1 - Disable custom difficulty

To ensure that custom difficulty settings are disabled, please follow these steps:

  • Running the Rimworld Together server application GameServer.exe.

  • Type in the console window the command: disabledifficulty

  • Alternatively, you can locate the DifficultyValues.json file in your main server folder within the "core" subfolder.

  • Change the value of UseCustomDifficulty to false

By doing this, you'll ensure that custom difficulty settings are turned off and the default settings are in place.

Step 2 - Give yourself Admin permission

  • Log into the server and give yourself admin permissions by typing in the server console window: op ''yourusername''

Step 3 - Access the Storyteller selection menu

To access the in-game storyteller selection menu, follow these steps:

  • Press the ESC key.
  • Navigate to "Options."
  • Select "Gameplay."
  • Choose "Storyteller Settings."
  • Click on "Modify."

Step 4 - Change the difficulty values.

In the Storyteller selection menu, Click on the "Custom" option, where you then adjust your values just as you would in a regular game.

  • Once you've completed adjusting your settings, click the button located at the bottom right of the same window labeled "Send Difficulty" to transmit the values to the server.

Step 5 - Enable Custom Difficulty.

  • Once you've confirmed the difficulty values you wish to use, be sure to enable custom difficulty again through the server console by typing: enabledifficulty

  • Alternatively, you can locate the DifficultyValues.json file in your server folder within the "core" subfolder

  • Change the value of UseCustomDifficulty to true
