SCUM Easy AdminHow long offline protection lasts at most
Upper limit on protection while the owners are offline.
scum.RaidProtectionOfflineMaxProtectionTime=-
What does this setting do?
The format is hours:minutes:seconds. After this time protection ends even if nobody is logged in. Without such a limit a group could keep their base permanently untouchable simply by stopping play — the base would occupy space and resources forever while remaining unreachable.
A dash as the value means no upper limit is set. On PvP servers that is the single most common design flaw: abandoned fortresses nobody can ever clear.
Which value suits my server?
Unlimited is defensible, since raids barely happen.
72:00:00 to 168:00:00. Miss a week and you lose protection.
24:00:00.
What to watch out for
Groups that leave the server leave permanently protected bases behind. Those block building plots and vehicle slots until an admin removes them by hand.
