Where to change the maximum number of castle floors?

[Fish]

In the patch notes it was mentioned that the default value for how many floors each castle can have is 3 (4 on elevated terrain), but this can be changed to 6 on private servers.

However, I don't see this setting when starting a new game, nor can I find it in the server game settings config. Anyone know where this can be configured?

I think in the actual JSON file of the preset you're using to create your game, I assume there is a copy of this file in your save itself.

I would assume it's the "HeightLimit" part:

 "CastleStatModifiers_Global": {
      "TickPeriod": 5.0,
      "DamageResistance": 0.0,
      "SafetyBoxLimit": 1,
      "TombLimit": 20,
      "VerminNestLimit": 20,
      "PrisonCellLimit": 50,
      "HeartLimits": {
        "Level1": {
          "Level": 1,
          "FloorLimit": 60,
          "ServantLimit": 6,
          "BuildLimits": 2,
          "HeightLimit": 3
        },
        "Level2": {
          "Level": 2,
          "FloorLimit": 120,
          "ServantLimit": 8,
          "BuildLimits": 2,
          "HeightLimit": 3
        },
        "Level3": {
          "Level": 3,
          "FloorLimit": 240,
          "ServantLimit": 12,
          "BuildLimits": 2,
          "HeightLimit": 3
        },
        "Level4": {
          "Level": 4,
          "FloorLimit": 480,
          "ServantLimit": 16,
          "BuildLimits": 2,
          "HeightLimit": 3
        },
        "Level5": {
          "Level": 5,
          "FloorLimit": 600,
          "ServantLimit": 20,
          "BuildLimits": 2,
          "HeightLimit": 3
        }
      },
      "CastleLimit": 2
    },

Lemme know if it worked! ♥

Seconded, I too am hoping this will fix one of the updates issues.

[Totto]

Nah, doesn't work, just corrupts the Savefile.
Tried from Height 1 to 6 everytime it got corrupted :-/

[Fish]

Haven't got a chance to test this yet. Will do that after work today. A little concerning to hear ppl are getting corrupted files though

[Nothson]

What is the BuildLimit setting here? I see no mention of that in any server setting documentation.

[This PC]

It might have been patched out ? :D I had a patch during the night, but I made this config file for my dedicated server early yesterday. The server still works tho ? >.>

Just make sure that you're not just adding the line. Add the comma at the end of the previous line, and don't add it at the end of the heighlimit line ie: copy the syntax litterally. JSON is very close to code, and is interpreted very litterally, and forgetting a comma could easily make your save unloadable. >//<

Ok, I've conducted some tests now.
Manually adding the line into the json seems to be working so far (as in, game can load without giving me the corrupted error).

I'm not far enough to actually build multi-floor castle so the actual build test needs to wait. At least right now I'm able to make the game run after the modification.

Here's the code I have for now (this is the entire json file that also includes modifications to reduce grind):

Change is now possible directly in game settings.

[Fish]

That's good to know, though the session has already started lol

Thanks for sharing the code with the community, just changed it and didn't corrupt my save. Fingers crossed the devs won't remove the ability for us to adjust how many floors we can have in our castles : )

Thanks man, i had a comma at the End that was my mistake.

[Khaylain]

Just gonna add to this that in the JSON file you can change the number of available "floor heights" to be greater than 6 as well. I've tested it with 8, and it works perfectly well.
