Change Single player mod settings
yo people.

I have been playing a single player and i just wanted to configure my mod settings such as Structures Plus, but didn't seem to work. Do i have to make start a new game everytime i change settings to apply them?

Note:
I have put all the settings in game.ini at bottom with the mod name on top of them like this: [Structures Plus]

Thanks

No, you don't have to restart your game. I believe the mod settings go into the gameusersettings.ini file as opposed to the game.ini file.

^^ This.

Just copy them into the gameusersettings.ini and they'll take over once you load your world.

uhh to correct any confussion -
you DO have to restart the game client for these edits to take effect,
you DO NOT have to create a new character or start a NEW game

Apologies, you're right, I should have been more clear. I meant you don't have to restart your savegame. Yes, you do have to restart the game client and load the world again.

Doesn't seem to work. I have changed S+ so i can place structures without requirement of foundation or pillar support. Doesn't seem to work

What behavior are you experiencing in game? I have that setting selected too, and it doesn't allow me to just place building items anywhere I want - rather, I have to start out with a foundation or pillar on the floor, but then once my build is complete I can then remove whatever foundations I started with and the rest of the construction will not collapse into rubble.

Try building a foundation with a few walls on top of it, then delete the foundation from under them to leave them floating in the air. Does that work?

Even with the setting enabled you can't place walls/ceilings willy nilly, walls/ceilings need some form of foundation to snap onto initially. But as you said, once you've one ceiling/wall down you can get rid of the foundation and everything will be fine, the wall won't be destroyed if the setting has been enabled..

We're going to lock this thread up so it doesn't get necro'd again in the future. Thanks for your understanding.
