SCUM Easy AdminGrace period for young bases
How long a base must exist before sieges may end at full severity. Stated in days.
scum.BaseBuildingEncounterTimeToFullMinNumToEnd=-1.000000
What does this setting do?
Newly built bases are especially fragile: no double walls yet, no turrets and no materials stocked for repairs. This value gives them a grace period.
It works together with the siege's end threshold. For a freshly built base that threshold is lowered – so the siege stops sooner. Over the span given here in days the reduction grows back until the full value applies.
The allowed range is 0 to 30 days; the default of -1 means “game default” as usual. How much the threshold is lowered by lives in its own value – without which this span has no effect. The two always belong together.
In practice this is one of the friendliest settings in the whole of base building: it protects newcomers and returning players without letting established bases off any easier.
Which value suits my server?
3 to 7 days. A week is enough to make a base defensible.
-1 or 3 days.
0 to 1 day. If you build, build properly straight away.
What to watch out for
This span only describes how long the reduction takes to grow back. How large it is at all lives in its own value.
The range runs from 0 to 30. A 24 here means 24 days, not one day.
