Sandbox Config Builder

Change a small, reviewed set of Abiotic Factor sandbox options and copy a valid SandboxSettings.ini block without retyping key names or Boolean values.

Loot respawn enabledWrites the documented Boolean setting; it does not choose a respawn interval.Power sockets off at nightKeeps the official default when checked.Enemy spawn rate1xScales the rate used by enemy spawning systems. Official range: 0.5–3.Enemy health1xScales enemy health without changing damage. Official range: 0.75–3.Enemy damage to players1xScales damage enemies deal directly to players. Official range: 0.25–3.Player XP gain1xScales experience gained by players. Official range: 0–3.Item stack size1xScales how many items fit in a stack. Official range: 1–30.Item weight1xScales item weight; values below 1 reduce weight. Official range: 0–5.

Generated block

Eight reviewed keys, ready to paste into SandboxSettings.ini.

PlayerXPGainMultiplier=1
ItemStackSizeMultiplier=1
ItemWeightMultiplier=1

Safe installation order

1. Stop the dedicated server before editing its configuration.
2. Make a copy of the existing SandboxSettings.ini so every previous value can be restored.
3. Generate the block above, then replace only the matching keys in the server file. Preserve unrelated settings already present.
4. Restart the server and verify one visible change before inviting the full group back. If the setting is ignored, check the file path and spelling before increasing values further.

What it prevents

The builder prevents common transcription errors: lowercase Boolean values, missing section headers, renamed keys, and a value being placed beside the wrong option. It also keeps the generated result small enough to compare line by line with the source file. The output is plain text; no configuration or server address is uploaded from your browser.

What it does not decide

A valid file is not automatically a balanced ruleset. Group size, player experience, progression, and tolerance for farming still determine whether a multiplier feels fair. The builder therefore starts from documented defaults instead of labeling an aggressive value as universally recommended.

Reviewed scope

This version emits eight options found in the maintained dedicated server template. It intentionally omits settings that need more context than a single field can provide. Back up the save and config, use decimal points rather than commas, and re-check the upstream template after a game update.
