SCUM Easy AdminSpawn prevention area around fallen enemies
Places an area around a killed enemy in which no new one appears for a while.
scum.EncounterEnableSpawnPreventionAreaSpawnOnCharacterDeath=False
What does this setting do?
This switch creates a small area at the spot where an enemy fell in which no new one is spawned for a while. It is off by default.
It solves a very specific annoyance: a successor appearing right where you just killed somebody, often while you are still collecting the loot. Enabled, it prevents exactly that.
That makes it one of the most rewarding switches for PvE and building servers: it makes post-fight looting predictable without lowering enemy counts overall. The world stays populated, just not directly behind your back.
On PvP servers it cuts both ways. The prevention area also benefits whoever just won: they can loot in peace while an attacker gets no reinforcements for cover. If you want a contested place to stay contested, leave it off.
Which value suits my server?
On. You should be able to loot after a fight.
Off (default). A contested place should stay restless.
Off.
What to watch out for
The prevention area appears where somebody won. On PvP servers that hands them a quiet window.
To calm the island overall, work on the amounts and timings. This switch only acts locally.
