PowerSocketsOffAtNight defaults to True — sockets go dark at night. Closes the loop between generation, load and overnight drain: will you make it to dawn, and how many batteries short?

7 Clearance Levels & Hacker Tiers
Must-read7 clearance levels (Blue/Orange/Violet/Red/Yellow/Green/Black) but only 6 tool tiers — the numbers differ. Black Level 7 also uses the Gatekey (Tier 6); there is no Tier 7
Compare starting points, skill and XP bonuses across all 9 jobs. Defense Analyst carries Slow Learner — a nominal +75% is really only +40%
Skills cap at level 20 with 91,655 XP total, and level 19→20 alone costs 10,900. Combines the global multiplier, job bonus and Slow Learner into one real rate
Hunger, thirst, fatigue and continence each have their own multiplier. Convert to hours remaining and see what your expedition pack must prioritise
Your pack is capped by slots and weight; the real limit is the smaller one. Tells you whether to level Strength (+2 per level) or raise ItemStackSizeMultiplier
Folds 9 enemy-related settings into one 0–100 scale and breaks out each contribution, so you can see which single setting is pushing difficulty up
DeathPenalties has 6 tiers (0–5) deciding keep/drop/destroy; DurabilityLossOnDeathMultiplier decides gear durability loss — together they define how much dying hurts
Default 6, hard cap 24, but community testing shows frame drops past 16. Totals your supply run and grades the size risk
Server admin and config generation (8)
Config files, startup scripts and command wizards for running a serverAll 48 official world rules with official defaults and ranges. Output always carries the [SandboxSettings] header — without it the file is ignored
Admin Commands (Vanilla vs Mod)
CorrectedVanilla has no text console commands; admin actions go through the in-game GUI. god / noclip come from a UE4SS mod, and spawnitem / setxp / instantcraft do not exist at all
Windows and Linux (Wine + xvfb) differ: Linux uses -QUERYPORT and usually needs -tcp to appear in the Steam list
Line-by-line: missing header, unknown keys, known typos (ApocalypticAbilties), type errors, out-of-range values and dependency conflicts
Generates [Moderators] and [BannedPlayers]. SteamID64 must be a 17-digit number — not a nickname or community URL
Three files, three concerns: which you must create yourself and which the server generates. Crossplay is set only via CrossplaySetting in GameUserSettings.ini
Both UDP 7777 and 27015 must be open — opening only one is the top cause of "direct connect works but the server is not listed". Commands for four platforms plus verification
