SCUM Easy AdminWhen another squad's chest becomes yours
If another squad leaves a chest in your flag area, it transfers to you after this time.
scum.ChestAcquisitionDuration=24.000000
What does this setting do?
This value settles a dispute that comes up on every server sooner or later: another squad has left a chest inside your flag area – by accident, as a temporary stash, or to block space. After the time set here it belongs to you.
The clock does not start when the chest is dropped but once you have logged in inside your flag area. That makes sure the transfer never goes to an absent owner. The default is 24 hours.
The value is a plain number of hours, not the usual clock format. A 24 means one day, a 2 means two hours. This is one of the places where the configuration departs from its own pattern.
Shorter times are player-friendly: they end the blocking of building space quickly. Longer times give the other squad a chance to collect their chest – on a server with a friendly community that is often the better fit.
Which value suits my server?
24 to 48. Mix-ups should be able to sort themselves out calmly.
24 (default).
6 to 12. Leave your chest behind and you lose it.
What to watch out for
Unlike most time values in this file, this is a plain hour count. 24:00:00 would be wrong here.
It only runs once you have logged in inside your flag area. Never visit and you inherit nothing.
