The 24 slider...

[Daniel]

In testing the game again, i view the new 24 slider they put when you start or continue a game,

but most of us are completly missled with this slider, some people are not able to harvest or some people like me have not be able to kill any dino because they decome invincible, but to help people, i think it's can be good to explain some of her to help the other...

i have just begin the test to try to know what is making if we play with it, because it's not always easy to know what each slider are making...

here it's a picture of the 24 slider they give headhatch to the people...,

so, if you know what is making, say it...,

they have two column of 12 slider, so we can say the first column are 1 to 12 and the second column are 13 to 24

(Don't try to play with the slider completly to the left, like you can view on the picture, in testing the game with these option put the dinosaure neer invinsible)

[Daniel]

# 01 - "Max Strutures in Range",
(Not tested)

But i think it's just to be able to view more building far aways

slider to the left = less building
slider to the right = more building

-------------------------------

# 02 - "Day Cycle Speed"

Put the slider to the left and the day will be more long,

put the slider to the right and the day will pass more faster.

I am not sure if it's a "Day Time Speed" + "Night Time Speed" togeter, and depending where you put the slidder, if they split the time,

by example, if you put the slider completly to the left it's put by example all a day at 1:1, so 24 real hours and if you put the slider for the "day time" to the left and the "night time" to the right, the night will be more short than the day, and the night will be perharp 50:1, so, if you have put the day cycle to the left, you will have a 24 real hours day but because you have put the night more short, you will have perharps 22 hours on 24 with some light of the sun, but it's just an example...

*** Note :
If you put the slider completly to the left, the time will freeze at your current time, the day and hours will never move.

-------------------------------

# 03 - "Day Time Speed"

put the slider to the left if you want the daytime go more slower, and to the right the daytime pass much faster.

-------------------------------

# 04 - Night Time Speed"
(Not Tested)

Slider to the left = The night are more long,
Slider to the right = The night are less long

------------------------------

# 05 - "Dino Damage"

Put the slider to the left and the dino will make neer no dommage, (AI dino)

If you put the slider completly to the right, you are crazy..., (in my test i have trying with my player level 3 to attack a turtle level 4, in one shot they have killing me and sending me flying far away, but the #8 "player resistence" have been to the max right...)

*** Note :
if you put the slider completly to the left, (and the dino resistence to the max left) the herbivorous will make only sound when you puch it, but they will not attack you, but you will never be able to kill it, for the carnivorous, it's take more and more time before you receive some dommage, (i have tested it with 1 Dilo, and it's me they playing with her, it's only the poison the shoot they seem having make me some dommage,

i have tested it too in the water, and the carnivorous in the water they have trying to eat me have never success to make anything to my beautiful body ha ha ha, but i have not tested to stay in the same place without moving in the water to know how many time it's take before they can do some dommage... (tested with the slider for the player resistence {#8} to the max left, and "dino damage" to the max left)
--------------------------------

# 06 - "Player Domage"

If you put this slider to the left, you make neer no damage, put the slider to the right, you will be able to make big domage..., you become a god and can kill a dino level 22 in one punch even if you are level 2

----------------------------------

# 07 - "Structure damage"
(Not tested)

i am not sure if they talk here of the damage a building can give to other player or dinosaure, by example, the metal pike, or the auto-turret, because for the structure resistance, we find it to the # 11

(but if they talk of the damage giving by some building, putting the slidder to the left will make less damage than putting the slidder to the right)

-----------------------------------

# 8 - "Player Resistance"

!!! ATTENTION !!!

this slider have been inversed and work on the other way...,

if you want big resistance (in combat), you need to put the slider more to the left, if you want less resistance, put the slider more to the right...

-----------------------------------

# 09 - "Dino Resistance"
(not finish tested, i don't know if it's affecte your tamed dino too, but i think yes)

!!! ATTENTION !!!

this slider have been inversed and work on the other way...,

if you want big resistance (in combat) for the dino, you need to put the slider more to the left, if you want less resistance, put the slider more to the right...

if the slider are to the max right, you can put a dino down in one punch, if they are to the maximum left side, it's her they will put you down in one punch

if you want epic battle put the "player" and "dino resistance" to the left (but not completly, else, it's make such as a battle of titan and they will never have a winner) and you will make battle they can take big time to have a winner...

----------------------------------

# 10 - "Struture resistance"
(Not tested)

I think it's put structure more hard to destroy, or perharps it's only affect the life point of the struture, if you put the slider to the left, the building will be more easy to destroy because they have less hit point,

but because i know some structure such as stone wall i think, if you punch it, they lost only 1 hit point by time by default, but anyway, i am not sure if it's the string of the hit point or the string of the attack divised by 0.005 they are used by example...

----------------------------------

# 11 - "XP Multiplier"

It's affecting the XP you gain, but seem not affecting the XP you need to go up in level,

put the slider to the left to receive more fast XP, putting the slidder to the right make you receiving less fast XP by action you make...,

in my test, with the slider to the left, i view if i don't move and look only the xp, my xp go up fast by 0.2 if i remember well, but if i put the slider to the right, my xp go up slowly and only by 0.1...

i tested it only in waiting on a place, not fighting, because they have more value they enter into consideration such as the level of the dino, ect...

-------------------------------

# 12 - "Taming Speed"

Put the slider to the left will ask you big time to be able to tame a dino,

put the slider to the right and it's will ask you less time to be able to tame a dino...

but i don't know the % but perharp the more fast will be 1 hours and the more long will be 1 days between the left and the right of the slider...

-------------------------------

# 13 - "Harvest Amount"

This one is for the amount of the ressource you take from the ressource when you harvest it,

by example, for a plant, if you put the slider to the left, you will recolt only pehrarps 1 berry, but if you put the slidder to the right, for the same plant you will receive 5 x berrys, 7 x fibber, 3 x other berry, ect...

same for the thing you can found on dino in harvesting it, having the slidder to the left will give you perharps 1 x meat or 1 x skin, but with the slider on the right, you can receive 5 x meat and 4 x skin by example...

-------------------------------

# 14 - "Player Character Water Drain"

This option affect the time for the water level of your character become consummate...,

if you put the slider to the left, you will be able to run around all the map before you need to drink water...

if you put the slider to the right, you will need to pass you life neer a water source because your will always need to drink water...

*** Note :
If you put the slider completly to the left, you will not need to drink any water...

-------------------------------

# 15 - "Player Character Food Drain"

Same as water (#14) but for the food you need to eat,

put the slider to the left and you will need only some fruit by day to survive...

Put the slider to the right and you will need to eat 75 cows by day peharps more,

*** Note :
If you put the slider completly to the left, you will not need to eat anything in your game...

-------------------------------

# 16 - "Dino Character Food Drain"

Same as (#15) for the player, but this one it's for your dino (the dinosaure you have tamed)

(*** Note : They have no option for the Water a dino need)
If you put the slider completly to the left, your dino will not need to eat any food in your game...

-------------------------------

# 17 - "Player Character Stamina Drain"

this option it's change your Stamina, or your energy if you want...,

put the slider to the left and you will be able to run or fight very much longer. in my test, putting the slider to the left ask me nothing in stamina for running...

put the slider to the right and you will need to take your breath after 2 minute if you run,

*** Note :
If you put the slider completly to the left, your stamina will be always full...

-------------------------------

# 18 - "Dino Character Stamina Drain"

Same as (#17), but this slider are for you dino, putting the slidder to the left by example and if you take a ride on one of the big bird, you will be able to visit all the map before you need to land, ect...

*** Note :
If you put the slider completly to the left, your dino will not lost any stamina...
-------------------------------

# 19 - "Player Character Helth Recovery"

this affect the time your avatar need before they can recovering all of her health if you stay on the same place and waiting by example,

put the slider to the left, and your health will go up very very slow and can take more hours to be filled again,

put the slider to the right and you will be able to regain your health between two and five minutes...

-------------------------------

# 20 - "Dino Character Health Recovery"

Same as (#19), but this one is for your dino...

-------------------------------

# 21 - "Dino Count"

This option are for the number of dinosaure you want in your world, or on all the map if you want,

put the slider to the left and you will find only some dinosaure here and there, put the slider on the right and you will have more and more dinosaure with you,

*** Note : just thinking this option affect the spawn point, not the dinosaure on the map..., by example, if you put the slider to the right and after some time you find you have to much friend they try to eat you and you want to have a break, well... too late, because it's affect the spawn point, and the dino they are there will be there even if you quit the game and put the slider more to the left after, and return to the game,

you can view the difference when you start a new game with the slider to the left in the beginning, they have neer no dino, but if you play on an old game and decide to put the slider to the left, it's will take long time before you can begin to view the difference, (you need to kill some or wait some of her dies...)

-------------------------------

# 22 - "Harvest Health"

if you put the slider completly to the left, you can grab thing in one shot, and if you put the slider to the right, you need to push more than one time to grab all the thing in a plant by example...

combined with the "Harvest Amount" it's can give you different result...,

by example, if you put the "Harvest Health" slider to the max right, and the Harvest Amount" to the max right, you will take the thing in 5 shot, and each shot will give you more thing,

but if you put the two slider to the left, you will take small amout (1 or 2 berries) in one shot, and the plant are gone, vanished

------------------------------

# 23 - "PVE Structure Decay Period"
(not tested)

This option affect the time a building in a PVE game decay,

Put the slider to the left and the building (construction build by human) will begin to decay fast and finish by vanished of the game, (not sure, not tested)

putting the slider to the right take more time before the building of a people vanish of the game and vanish if the people don't repair her building (not sure, not tested)

*** Note : Because i don't play PVE or PVP, i don't know what is the minimum time and maximum time before a building collapse and vanish of the game, but perharp it's a 1 day for the minimum and 3 week for the maximum, (if they have no interaction of people),

some people playing in pve have view her building vanished but they have thinking it's people they have destroy her building, but it's this they cause that, the people they play in PVE need to watch her building to view if they need to be repaired, because if a people don't take care, and play, her building can go down to 10% of lifepont and if they return after some time, all her building have disapear..., take time to look the wall, the roof, ect..., of your house if they need to be repaired,

this option don't affect single player...

------------------------------

# 24 - "Ressources Respaw Period"

this option affect the time it's take for a ressource to reapear in the game,

by example, if you chop a tree down, and you have the slider to the left, an other tree will grow in no long time, but if you put the slider to the right and you cut the tree, it's can take peharps more day before a tree reapear there in this place to replace the other...

--------------------------------

# 25 - "Difficulty level" (slider bar on the left of the windows)

I have forgot this one..., but they are not hard to understand...,

put the slider to the left and your game will be more easy,

put the slider to the right and i think you don't survive ha ha ha

but what's the difficulty change, the speed of the thing you made, only the strengh of the dinosaure, i don't know...

[omally72]

Thanks, I think most of what you say makes sense. For example, I set my food drain to .75 and it seems it's dropping considerably faster than normal.

Not sure about the player damage, though - I set mine to 2 and lost 3/4 of my health just beating on a small tree. Maybe it's the other way around?

yes, for this two option, player resistence and dino resistence they have be inversed, if you want more resitence you need to put it to the left and if you want less resistence you need to put it to the right, i have make a note about this to say her this two option are not well setting...,

here a picture of the test i make for now with the option, and in my test, i am level 3 and i can put down a dino level 20 with one punch and they make me neer no dommage, and i can punch a tree 50 time with neer no dommage
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=472047318
(don't try the same setting you view on this windows, because it's will broke your game because you will become a god, i made it only for test)

for the health you lost, it's because of the "player resistence", put it more to the left and you will lost less life in punching, put it completly to the left and you will become a god ha ha ha

[Daniel]

I have corrected some data to fit with the patch 180.41

[omally72]

Ok, that makes sense. So damage to the right just a bit to deal more damage, resistance to the left a bit to receive less damage.

Exactly,

For #2 Day Cycle Speed, if you put the slider all the way to the left, the time simply freezes and you walk around at for example 3 pm for all eternity.

If you're hung up on easy mode and decide to put dino damage completely to the left, they turn docile. Same happens if you turn player damage to 0.

By putting taming speed to the far right makes it go faster. To the left makes it slower.

For the water, food and stamina drains, the further left you put it, the less you need. Put it all the way left, and you never need water or food, and your stamina never depletes, meaning you can run forever. Swimming however doesn't fall under that header so you'll still drown if you stay under too long.

If you put the food requirement for dinos to the far left they hardly need food. All the way left and they don't eat at all. Keep in mind though, that if you want to tame animals quickly, you'd be better off putting it to the far right so it needs a ton of food. I've tried this, and I tamed a bunch of dinos without having to them a single narcoberry.

The information on food, stamina and water drain is incorrect, its left for slower drain

yes, it's true, i think i have been too tired when i have writing, i will correct this, or it's changed after the last time they have changed this option and forget to change it, thank for the info...

Thank to you too "@CptCookiediet", i will add the info

In one of the patch note, they say they have corected this and now they make a minimum of domage when you put the slider to the left, in short, they have no 0 domage anymore, but it's seem your test confirm this action are always the same, when i have make my first test before the patch it's make this too...,

but if they have corrected this and you too confirm it's happend again, it's want to say it's peharps depending of the place you put the slider for the difficulty in the game, if you put it to the more easy, and if in more you put the slider for the damage to the more left, it's give you nothing in dommage...,

but i have not tested this option, but perharp if a player put the slider for the damage to the left but if they play with the slider for the difficulty of the game more hard, perharps it's change something and make some domage,

but i have only tested the game with the slider for the difficulty of the game to the more easy (to the more left)...

Well, when I noticed it, it was when I messed around with the sliders last night (3rd of July). My difficulty setting is on easy. It would be very benificiary to people wanting to dive for oil, since from what I've seen, I could swim around one of those shark things and it didn't pay any attention to me whatsoever.

[Pancake is Me]

Why are thoose sliders in the game even? wont people make themselves super strong in multiplayer?

[CptCookiediet]

I doubt you can use it in multiplayer unless you're the servers admin. so it's not like one person getting stronger, but everyone.

Such as "CptCookiediet" say, you can not use your option in a multiplayer game, only the admin of the server can decide of the option for all the people,

but yes, some server admin can deciede to make an arcade game where you can kill a dino in one shot or they can make a game where you need to work more hard to obtain your thing, it's always good before rejoining a server to try to know what is the option they put for the server, because in multiplayer game, it's not your option they work but the option the admin decide to put, and the other player can not change it...,

some server prefer to play an arcade game where you can kill a dino in one shot, other admin prefer to put option to make a game more real where you need to work to obtain your thing...,

in a multiplayer game your option won't work, if the admin decide a player are strong, it's all the player they are strong, and not only some peoples...

[IZanaGI]

thank uuuuu

[omally72]

One of the things I'm starting to love about these devs is that they seem pretty dedicated to allowing all of us to tailor the game to the way we want to play. Want a dino-slaughtering, fast-paced FPS? You can build that. Want a super-hardcore survival experience where all it takes is a dino's bad breath to kill you? You can build that, too. Too many devs out there force you to play the game exactly as they want you to play it, which can be particularly frustrating in EA games where it starts out one way, then the devs take it in a direction you aren't particularly happy with, but can't do anything about.
