Difficulty Setting

This setting mostly determines what you will re-spawn with when you die:

• On Easy difficulty, you will start with a full suit again, just like at the beginning of a new world.
• On Normal difficulty you will be given an emergency suit and a full set of emergency tools and are expected to retrieve or create a proper suit again. In this mode you need to open your helmet in order to eat or drink.
• On Stationeers difficulty, you will spawn with no suit at all, which is very dangerous if you have not set your spawn point yet. In this mode you need to open your helmet in order to eat or drink.

Note: At the time of writing (version 0.2.4258.19848), you can only find this setting on the New World menu and there is no interface to change this setting mid-game

Changing difficulty mid-game

If you want to change the difficulty of an existing world you should:

1. Load the existing world
2. Open the in-game developer console (F3)
3. Write 'difficulty easy' and press enter
4. Close the in-game developer console (F3 again)
5. Save the world

Sun Orbit Period

This determines how long the days and nights are. If set to 1, each day is 10 minutes and each night is 10 minutes, meaning days last 20 minutes in total. Setting it to 2 will double the length of days to 40 minutes for a full cycle.

Hunger / Hydration / Oxygen Rate

Warning:

This setting is now part of each world configuration and cannot be changed in-game by the user

This setting controls how rapidly your hunger and hydration levels will deplete. Increasing the value will make them go down more quickly. A higher value on this bar will reduce the time you have early on to set up food and water supply. On Stationeers and Normal difficulties, a high value on this setting will mean you need to quickly build a breathable atmosphere as these difficulties require you to open your helmet to eat and drink.
