SCUM Easy AdminHow fast puppets run
Multiplier on movement speed — the setting that turns zombies into sprinters.
scum.PuppetRunningSpeedMultiplier=1.000000
What does this setting do?
Multiplies the speed at which puppets close in on their target. From roughly 1.2 upwards a player carrying normal gear can no longer outrun them — this is where you decide whether running away stays an option. No other value shapes the feel of a server more, health and damage included.
Which value suits my server?
0.8 to 1.0 — retreat always stays possible.
1.0. Escape works with a head start or a light load.
1.2 to 1.4. Beyond that every mistake is instantly fatal.
What to watch out for
Puppets then catch even sprinting players. It is thrilling at first and ends with nobody entering towns at all — and empty towns are the most common reason players leave a server.
Inside buildings players have no room to dodge. If you raise this, consider turning off "puppets can open doors", or there is no safe retreat left.
