Changing a setting
is there anyway to change a setting after a campaign starts? I really didn't think day time realistic would litterally be 100% real and after playing for 8 hours with it still being day 1 and not needing to eat or anything like that.. wanna change it to default. I just felt default felt way too rushed where you'd head to a marker and it would be going night on arrival

Honestly I turned it to 1 below realistic and it still feels almost too slow. I turned enemy aggression to max because I wanted to just go in, plop down a base and see what it's like trying to defend it.
Just used cheats to rebuild my base(after realizing that because of how/where I built it nothing attacks so I wasted a ton of time). Only to then realize that because of how slow the days are it takes ages for them to do anything even with max aggro...

This, a way to rez Virginia and Kelvin when they bug out and die or get stuck, a highlight on the part of the building we are targeting, etc. -These are the kind of quality of life fixes/updates the game really needs.

Back up save files go into setup data and change back to normal.

%localappdata%\..\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves

do be careful and as mentioned make sure to *backup your save*. I messed up when trying to do this when Kelvin randomly died and it busted my save.

The fact that it is so heavily relied upon by the community is a sign they really just need to add this baseline...

I'm not looking to use a backup. I'm looking to change day time and seasons to default which this won't resolve or even do with.

Using those methods is, as far as I know, the only way to change the settings.

It wont bust your save as your saves have a auto backup as normal.

IT won't let me edit the file. I goto type and nothing not even a blinking cursor to indicate the notepads focused

Go in the compressed save files and copy the file required to change.
Paste into the saves folder and open and change via notepad saving changes in notepad.
Click on changed file and drag into compressed save files and replace when asked.

Done.
