A configuration file is now available for Planetary Cargo Ships. This will allow players and admins to fine tune how the mod spawning system behaves.


The configuration file should be located in your user data files

Example: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Storage\1135484377.sbm_MeridiusIX\planetarycargoshipsconfig.xml

• <MinimumPlayerBufferDistance> - Approx minimum spawning distance of cargo ship. Scales with planet size, but will not be set lower than this value.
  
  
• <MaximumPlayerBufferDistance> - Approx maximum spawning distance of cargo ship. Scales with planet size, but will not be set higher than this value.
  
  
• <MinimumSpawnDistanceFromPlayers> - Cargo Ships will not spawn closer to this distance to player locations.
  
  
• <MaximumSpawnDistanceFromPlayers> - Cargo Ships will not spawn further from this distance to player locations.
  
  
• <PlayerDespawnDistance> - When ship reaches despawn, players must be this far away before ship is removed.
  
  
• <PlayerSurfaceAltitude> - Player must be no further than this distance from surface to initiate spawning.
  
  
• <MaximumActiveCargoShips> - Total number of cargo ships that can be active at once.
  
  
• <MaximumShipsPerSpawnPhase> - Maximum number of ships that can appear per spawning phase.
  
  
• <PathCalculationAttempts> - How many times the mod will attempt to calculate a cargo ship path prior to spawn.
  
  
• <MinimumAirDensity> - Spawning will occur at planet altitude with this air density.
  
  
• <MinimumSpawnAltitude> - Spawning location must be at least this far from the terrain.
  
  
• <MaximumSpawnAltitude> - Spawning location must be no further than this distance from terrain.
  
  
• <MinimumPathDistance> - Minimum cargo ship path. Scales with planet, but will not be set lower than this value.
  
  
• <MaximumPathDistance> - Maximum cargo ship path. Scales with planet, but will not be set higher than this value.
  
  
• <PathStepCheckDistance> - Step distance of how mod checks cargo ship path for obstructions.
  
  
• <MinimumPathAltitude> - Cargo ship path must not come within this distance of the terrain.
  
  
• <DespawnTimerTrigger> - Seconds before a despawn is attempted on a cargo ship. Used as a backup if cargo ship cannot travel to despawn due to auto-pilot glitches.
  
  
• <UseSpeedOverride> - When set to True, all cargo ships will ignore their speed set by the SpawnGroups.sbc file and will instead use the value of <SpeedOverrideValue>.
  
  
• <SpeedOverrideValue> - If <UseSpeedOverride> is enabled, this value will be applied as the speed all planetary cargo ships will travel at.
  
  
• <IgnoreTerritoryRules> - When set to True, any SpawnGroups set to only spawn in certain territories can now appear anywhere on a planet.
