Abiotic Factor Death Penalty Settings

All 6 death penalty options for your Abiotic Factor server — from keeping everything to losing all items permanently.

The DeathPenalties setting controls what happens to a player's inventory when they die.

Setting

In SandboxSettings.ini:

DeathPenalties=1

Value	Name	What Happens
0	Keep All Items	Player keeps everything on death
1	Keep Equipped Items & Hotbar	Lose backpack/inventory items only (default)
2	Keep Hotbar Only	Lose all except hotbar items
3	Keep Equipped Items Only	Lose all except worn equipment
4	Lose All Items Including Hotbar	Lose everything — items are recoverable from death bag
5	All Items Are Destroyed	Everything is permanently destroyed on death

DurabilityLossOnDeathMultiplier=0.1

Controls how much durability equipment loses on death (0.0 = no loss, 1.0 = full durability lost). Default 0.1 means 10% durability loss.

💡 Tip: For casual servers use 0 (keep all). For hardcore survival use 4 or 5.
