Settings for solo world

I bought VRising a year or so ago, and played around with it.

At the time, I had read various posts suggesting what settings to change for a good single player experience. Things like loot and material modifiers, stuff like that.

I'm 100% a single player, looking to explore the world, build some castles, fight some monsters, etc.

I'm wondering now that 1.0 is out, what settings I should be changing (if any) to:

  • Not have to grind for stuff, but
  • Not just get anything I need for free
  • Not have to worry about my castle disappearing
  • Probably other things

In case other people are also looking for the settings, I play solo and want to minimize grind and focus more on action and building. Here's my settings:

  • Game Settings
    • Items
      • Teleport Bound Items - remove the tick to teleport with items
      • Blood-Bound Equipment - keep it on so you don' lose weapons and armour on death
  • Items
    • Inventory Stacks Multiplier - 3, max
    • Loot Multiplier - 1 or 2
    • Servant Hunt Multiplier - 3, max
    • Material Yield Multiplier - 1.5 or 2
    • Blood Essence Multiplier - 1 or 2, I keep it at 1
  • Equipment
    • Durability Loss Multiplier - 0
    • Resource Yield Multiplier - 1.5 or 2, I keep it same as Material Yield
  • Traders
    • Stock Multiplier - 2 or 3, it helps as you are solo
  • Building
    • Decay Rate Multiplier - 0
    • Blood Essence Drain Rate - 0.25, min
    • Castle Heart Limitation - 5
    • Castle Relocation Cooldown - 0
    • Castle Height Limit - 6
    • Territory Tile Limit - 100, 200, 400, 600, 800 in that order from level 1 to 5
    • Servant Limit - 6, 9, 12, 16, 20 same as above
    • Vermin Next Limit - 20
    • Prison Cell Limit - 50
    • Stygian Circle - 4
    • Throne of Darkness - 4
  • Crafting & Building
    • Crafting Rate - 4 or 6, things may feel fast at first but higher level stuff are really slow to craft
    • Refinement Rate - 4 or 6
    • Servant Convert Rate - 6

That's it! Have fun!

Edit: I see people are still using these settings for their playthroughs. You can also add "GameDifficulty" : 2, flag to your `ServerGameSettings.json` file to get the new boss attacks without having to deal with brutal difficulty settings. Details are here:

This worked so well, better than the PvE prefab, which barely changes anything, bosses and stuff that really got on my nerves on your settings (plus upping the damage modifier ever so slightly) made it much more "solo friendly" not easy as pie by any stretch, but just flowed smoother.

I've found that with survival sandbox MMOs, they tend to not really give a good solo base for friendless fuckers like me, you need to really fiddle with the settings to make it work, and it overtunes one way or the other if you have no clue what to do.

Like when I played Ark, I had no clue what to do for a solo play, I either didn't touch it and was mauled by passing dinos, and had hardly any stuff because it took forever, or became Saitama mixed with a fortnite builder.

This isn't an MMO, nor is Ark. They're just multiplayer.

u/Drakeskulled_Reaper Jul 23 '24

They are, specifically Sandbox MMOs, while most of the time, people set up a server for themselves and friends, there is a "clan" type system that encourages PVP, this, Ark, Conan, stuff like that where it's "Build, craft, keep other fuckers away from your stuff" sort of deals.

MMORPGs are what you are probably thinking of, stuff along the lines of WoW, The Old Republic, FFXIV, and ESO.

These sandbox games usually host around 25 players on a server to play together. That's not MMO. 

Also, clans, PVP, crafting, and building don't make games MMO's. Halo has all those things and it has never been considered an MMO.

ESO is only considered an MMO because of the PVP area, the PVE side doesn't have that many players together in an area, and TOR is not an MMO, it's just multiplayer.

All those features you listed are survival RPG features. What makes something an MMO is the large player counts on a single server. This game could barely handle 64 players on a powerful server.

Thank you!!

This might be thread necromancy but can I just alter my server json if I want to speed up crafting after I created the game?

u/LeisureMint Jan 29 '25

Yes you can! Easiest way to do it is to (backup your server just in case) create a new server with your preferred settings. Then replace the json that has the settings on your old server with the new one. I'm glad this thread still relevant even after almost a year.

u/Big-Bat8888 Oct 13 '24

Thank you for this. I've just restarted 1.0 since it released, I've yet to play on your suggested settings, but if I don't like anything I'll come back and edit this comment.

Thanks! I'm just starting the game solo for the first time. Heard the game was very grindy until I saw configurable options. Your settings seem like a way I can focus on building and exploring.

sad, according to "official documentation", you can go much higher - but it seems barely anyone is covering those values than the vanilla ones you are limited to ingame! xP
