SCUM Easy AdminWhen the crate self-destructs
Seconds after landing until the cargo drop explodes.
scum.CargoDropSelfdestructTime=1200.000000
What does this setting do?
The default of 1200 seconds is 20 minutes. After that the crate explodes along with whatever is still inside.
This deadline is why cargo drops are exciting: it forces a decision. Wait until the situation is safe and you lose the loot to the explosion; grab it while others are nearby and you risk the fight. Without time pressure there is no event, just a crate.
A longer deadline softens that and helps small groups who want to observe first. A shorter one turns drops into a frantic scramble.
Which value suits my server?
1200 to 1800. Time to approach carefully.
1200 (default).
600 to 1200. Take it or lose it.
What to watch out for
Including nearby players. If you shorten the deadline, announce it — otherwise people die to a rule they never knew about.
