The configuration file allows server administrators to fine-tune the mod's difficulty and balance features. To generate a new config, just delete the current XML file. The mod will reset it to default values on the next launch.

The mod configuration is server-side only.

• File Name: APEX.Advanced!_Config.xml
  
• Location: The file is automatically generated in your world's dedicated save storage folder upon the first launch of the mod.
  
• Client Information: Clients do not have this file. All players inherit the configuration settings directly from the server when they connect, ensuring a unified experience.

• MinutesToTrackConsumables = 180
  Description: Defines how long (in minutes) the mod should track consumed consumables (Health/Food) for background calculations. Set to 0 to disable this tracking feature.
  
• FullDecayInCryoOrBed = true
  Description: If true, core stats like Food and Water will continue to decay at their normal rate when a player is in a Cryo Pod or Bed. If false, decay will stop (regular vanilla setting).
  
• EnableVignetteFirstPerson = true
  Description: Toggles a visual vignette effect while in first-person view if true.
  
• EnableSleepEffect = true
  Description: A simple toggle to enable or disable the entire Sleep/Fatigue mechanic.
  
• AllowEatingInCryo = false
  Description: If set to true, players can consume items while inside a Cryo Chamber.
  
• AllowEatingInBed = false
  Description: If set to true, players can consume items while lying in a Bed.
  
• IgnoreClosedHelmet = false
  Description: If set to true, players can consume all items even with their helmet closed, overriding the normal in-game restriction.

These values determine the passive change rate for the respective survival stats. Rates are always multiplied by the world's standard FoodConsumptionRate.

• WaterDecay = 0.0837f
  Description: The amount the Water stat decreases every 100 game ticks (roughly 1.6 seconds). Higher value means faster dehydration.
  
• SleepDecay = 0.0463f
  Description: The amount the Sleep stat decreases every 100 game ticks while the character is awake. Higher value means faster fatigue accumulation.
  
• BloatingRegeneration = 0.031f
  Description: The amount the Bloating stat decreases (regenerates) every 100 game ticks. This is a positive value, meaning a higher value reduces bloating faster.
  
• RecoveryDecay = 0.01155f
  Description: The amount the Recovery stat decreases every 100 game ticks.

These settings control how effectively a character regenerates their stats in different resting positions.

• SleepRegenerationChair = 0.277f
  Description: The base amount of Sleep regenerated every 100 ticks when resting in a Chair/Cockpit. All other sleep regen values are a factor of this rate.
  
• SleepRegenerationFactorCryo = 0.5f
  Description: A multiplier on the base SleepRegenerationChair rate when using a Cryo Pod.
  
• SleepRegenerationFactorBed = 2.0f
  Description: A multiplier on the base SleepRegenerationChair rate when using a Bed with the helmet on.
  
• SleepRegenerationBedHelmOffFactor = 4.0f
  Description: A multiplier on the base SleepRegenerationChair rate when using a Bed with the helmet off (fastest sleep recovery).

• RecoveryToHealthConversionRate = 0.02f
  Description: The percentage of the current Recovery stat value that is converted into Health regeneration every 100 ticks while resting. (e.g., 0.02 = 2%).
  
• RecoveryModifierBed = 1.0f
  Description: The conversion efficiency multiplier when resting in a Bed. (1.0 = 100% efficiency).
  
• RecoveryModifierChair = 0.5f
  Description: The conversion efficiency multiplier when resting in a Chair/Cockpit. (0.5 = 50% efficiency).
  
• RecoveryModifierCryo = 0.15f
  Description: The conversion efficiency multiplier when resting in a Cryo Pod. (0.15 = 15% efficiency).
  
• MedicalRoomWorksWithoutOxygenToHeal = false
  Description: If set to true, the Medical Room will heal players even if the surrounding area is not pressurized or lacks oxygen.
  
• MedicalRoomRegenerationPer100Ticks = 5f
  Description: The fixed amount of Health points restored every 100 game ticks while a player is successfully healing in the Medical Room.
  
• MedicalRoomCanHealUpToPercent = 0.75f
  Description: The maximum Health value (as a percentage of Max Health, e.g., 0.75f = 75%) the Medical Room can restore.

These settings are only active if EnableRadiationAdvanced is true.

• EnableRadiationAdvanced = false
  Description: The master switch to enable or disable the entire advanced radiation system.
  
• RadiationGeneralDivisor = 16f
  Description: A final divisor applied to the calculated radiation dose. Increasing this value makes the overall radiation effect slower and more forgiving.
  
• RadiationMinimumDistance = 3f
  Description: The minimum distance (in meters) considered for any radiation source, preventing extreme radiation values from point-blank proximity (e.g., self-inventory).
  
• RadiationUraniumSearchRadius = 200
  Description: The maximum distance (in meters) the mod will scan around a player for Uranium ingots and Reactors that act as radiation sources.
  
• RadiationUraniumIngotThreshold = 2f
  Description: The minimum mass (in kg) of Uranium that will be considered a radiation source. Useful for ignoring trivial amounts.
  
• RadiationContainerShielding = 0.75f
  Description: A multiplier for radiation coming from Uranium in standard containers. A value of 0.75 means 25% of the radiation is blocked.
  
• RadiationReactorShielding = 0.25f
  Description: A multiplier for radiation from Reactors. A value of 0.25 means 75% of the radiation is blocked, making it a safer storage option.
  
• RadiationSuitGuardFactor = 30f
  Description: A scaling factor that determines the effectiveness of the character's suit against the calculated radiation dose. Higher value means better suit protection.
  
• RadiationNegligibleDose = 2f
  Description: Any calculated radiation-per-second value below this will be completely ignored, preventing negligible radiation from having an effect.

• UserInterfaceWarningIconSquareLength = 64
  Description: Defines the size (in pixels) for the square warning icons (for low Hunger, Thirst, etc.) that appear on the HUD.
