SCUM Easy AdminSpeed of the body's metabolism
Multiplier on how fast hunger, thirst and digestion progress.
scum.BodySimulationSpeedMultiplier=3.840000
What does this setting do?
The only value that lets you control metabolism in SCUM at all — and therefore more important than its technical name suggests. It speeds up or slows down everything happening inside the character's body: hunger, thirst, digestion, vitamins.
The default of 3.84 is no coincidence: it matches the default for world time speed exactly. The two belong together so that one game day means one day's worth of food. Change time speed without adjusting this and you create a mismatch: a fast world with a slow body means barely eating; a slow world with a fast body means starving in broad daylight.
To soften metabolism, lower this value — but only with an eye on time speed.
Which value suits my server?
1.0 to 3.84. Lower means less eating required.
3.84 (default).
3.84 to 6.0.
What to watch out for
The defaults for time speed and body simulation are both 3.84. Change one and you should adjust the other in the same proportion, or food needs no longer match the day cycle.
Not only hunger runs faster but recovery and the course of infections too. A high value makes diseases short but fierce.
