LayEggIntervalMultiplier

[Tex]

If I want creatures to lay MORE eggs over time, should I increase or decrease this value? For example, to double the rate at which creatures lay eggs, should it be:

LayEggIntervalMultiplier=2

or

LayEggIntervalMultiplier=0.5

You want it lower.

Its always a reason for fine discussions when it comes to server options. For some, higher is better, for some lower is better.

Since they called it LayEggIntervalMultiplier and not LayEggRateMultiplier, I would bet for smaller numbers giving more eggs.

I gave up on tring to make sense of half of the variables, honestly they need to have the same person name all these config variables, and that person needs to take their meds at the same time each day.

An extreme test should always work. Set it to 0.010000 and wait for a few minutes. If you get flooded with eggs I was right. :)

I would have more 100x eggs than dodos. Lol

i set it to "2" and they lay eggs like there is no tomorow Oo

would be a nice option for single player too, don't find the option anywhere even in the files either not implemented or i'm blind^^

So much for naming variables.

You can do everything a normal server can in sp. Just have to modify cfg files

I changed LayEggIntervalMultiplier in \ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini where I made all other changes that do work. I tried setting it to 0.2, 5 and 10, but every time it took 17 ingame minutes for the next (batch of) egg(s) to spawn. Am I doing something wrong? (Restarted the server after every change, of course)

So ther corresponding "PoopIntervalMultiplyer" certainly seems to such that lower values mean more poop. I set it to something like 0.1 and I was getting triple and qudruple stacks of poop (♥♥♥♥ was *literally* flying XD). The eggs also seemed to be more frequent with a setting of 0.1 on the "LayEggIntervalMultiplier". But it might also be the case that the poops were so frequent that it was interfering with the eggs. Gonna try to do some more testing.

Furthermore, I think you have to make the changes to the Game.ini file (mine is located at \ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini)

Poops did seem to be messing with the egg drop rate. Turned the poop interval back up to 0.5 and the eggs were more frequent (with the same egg drop interval).

So if you were trying to increase egg *and* poop production, it would seem keeping the poop interval larger than the egg interval is the way to go. In the case of just increasing egg production, seems like simply turning down the interval is the way to go.

So uh, where were you putting these changes in the file?

[TheJiBberwocky]

Right now my Game.ini file looks something like this:

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
LayEggIntervalMultiplier=0.5

Unless you've made other modfications in that file, it's probably blank and you just paste in those lines at the top.

So put in the whole script as you just posted it? [/script...........?
