Changing castle setting mid-game

[Kelthor]

I wanna be able to build a couple of more castles, but I sadly went with the default option of 2. However, I found this line:
"Range5": {}
},
"HeartLimits": {
"Level1": {
"ServantLimit": 4
},

The "HeartLimits" one. But I don't know how to change that "{" to let's say a 4. Anyone familiar with this type of coding please help.

The one to change for castle limit is at the end of that section:

"CastleLimit": 2

You can increase it up to 5.

Likewise, you can increase floor limits (border claims) up to 255. On my server, we use 75, 150, 200, 255 for castle levels 1-4. Servants work the same. We use 6, 9, 12, 15 for castle levels 1-4.

That string doesn't seem to exist in my settings? To add, this is a single player save, not a server per se.

You should still be able to add it.. The correct syntax for the whole "HeartLimits" section all the way to the bottom of the file (including the default PvP raid timer settings at the bottom) is:

"HeartLimits": {
"Level1": {
"Level": 1,
"FloorLimit": 75,
"ServantLimit": 6
},
"Level2": {
"Level": 2,
"FloorLimit": 150,
"ServantLimit": 9
},
"Level3": {
"Level": 3,
"FloorLimit": 200,
"ServantLimit": 12
},
"Level4": {
"Level": 4,
"FloorLimit": 255,
"ServantLimit": 15
}
},
"CastleLimit": 5
},
"PlayerInteractionSettings": {
"TimeZone": "Local",
"VSPlayerWeekdayTime": {
"StartHour": 17,
"StartMinute": 0,
"EndHour": 23,
"EndMinute": 0
},
"VSPlayerWeekendTime": {
"StartHour": 17,
"StartMinute": 0,
"EndHour": 23,
"EndMinute": 0
},
"VSCastleWeekdayTime": {
"StartHour": 17,
"StartMinute": 0,
"EndHour": 23,
"EndMinute": 0
},
"VSCastleWeekendTime": {
"StartHour": 17,
"StartMinute": 0,
"EndHour": 23,
"EndMinute": 0
}
}}

As long as you have the correct braces ( { } ) and commas in your file, the syntax should work for all versions of the server.

Obviously mine are edited, but you should just be able to slap a "CastleLimit":5 into yours where it's supposed to go as long as you respect the braces and commas in the file.

Sadly, nope. I get a "Server Error" when trying to start up the game. Did it both with copypasting your syntax into my settings, and once by just inserting the "castlelimit" syntax in there. :(

Some things just don't seem to update once the server has started, even if you edit the settings file correctly.

I tried adjusting the player HP to 1.2 - nothing changedm, while other values could apparently be changed.

Base stats are the only stats I've found that can't be changed. Equipment stats CAN be changed, but require you to make a new set of equipment. The castle limit can also be changed but I use a server so I don't know how you would do it in a single player game.

Basically, anything that already exists will have it's stats unchangeable. Castle Limit however is based on server settings and not the individual players so it should be able to be changed.

For example if you change the enemy HP higher, the first few enemies you run into will be normal, but after new ones spawn, their HP will be higher. It seems pre-existing things cannot have their stats changed which is unfortunate.

Yeah, that's what I feared. Thank you for confirming it. Basically, the game creates a new entity based on the values it has at the moment of creation. It doesn't "recreate" that entity every time the server starts.

For cheating, it does suck, but you can kill any entity to force a respawn. They take on the new server stats you set when they respawn. But you do have to kill them once each time to make it happen. We had to group up and clear the initial bosses once to get them to respawn and be weaker in my server where I had incidentally made them 3x stronger on accident before we could get back to a "normal" difficulty and just grind through like you would expect.

If trying to increase the floor limit past 255 for lvl 4 castle I get a server error so I presume 255 is the max limit. I guess will need to place 2 castle hearths in the same place to build a huge vampire manor.

[Ripyoutoshreads]

I want to expand to the ground flor and break the castle limit like in the previous game version. Can I do that somehow?

[Teut]

The above method has an error. This post worked for me. Seems I was missing a comma before entering the castle limit. - https://www.reddit.com/r/vrising/comments/uxcn68/v_rising_private_game_castle_heart_limit/

[Irritable Sloth]

Hey. I play solo on a private server. All I want is a tower castle but I made the mistake of wanting to play the game immediately instead of autistically tweaking every advanced server setting. I thought I read somewhere that in this version you can have up to six floors. Currently I have a three floor limit (the default I think). Can somebody please tell me how to change that in the game files? Please leave explicit details, Boomer level computer skills here.

Thank you!

I don't remember if this was the correct video, but it seems to explain it decently:

Remember, server settings are written in a json file (like your browser bookmarks) so you may have to right click and go to "edit with" and navigate to "notepad" for example (or notepad++ if you have that).
