SCUM Easy AdminWhen offline protection kicks in
The wait after logging out before the base becomes protected.
scum.RaidProtectionOfflineProtectionStartDelay=00:30:00
What does this setting do?
The format is hours:minutes:seconds. Protection does not apply the moment someone logs out but only after this delay — 30 minutes by default.
This delay is the most important part of offline protection, because it prevents the obvious abuse: without it a defender could log out mid-raid and make their base untouchable. Half an hour gives attackers enough time to finish a raid they have started.
Only effective when offline protection is the selected protection type.
Which value suits my server?
00:15:00. Short, since raids are the exception anyway.
00:30:00 (default) to 01:00:00.
01:00:00 and up. Logging out is not a defence.
What to watch out for
Below ten minutes, logging out becomes the most effective defensive tactic on the server. The delay has to outlast a typical raid or it defeats its own purpose.
Anyone dropped involuntarily sits in the same window. On servers with shaky connections, be generous.
