Changing sandbox settings on a save?

[Joseph Sneed]

Anyone know if there are any plans to add this? After playing a while I have kind of learned that the food and water demands are too low and the sink refills need to be much faster. It would be nice to be able to change this without having to start an entirely new save.

Copy-paste or modify below settings in:

There really needs to be a good guide for this. I just searched the Steam Guides, and nothing offers anything close to what the above post gives. (unless I'm blind)

Honestly there should just be an option to do it from the save menu

[MechWarden]

As well as the SandboxSettings.ini file being populated with those commands (and comments) to begin with.

I found this thing between two different websites. A steam page that explained where the world save is and a site on google that listed what are the current sandbox options avaible.
