Original Post — Direct link

My friend and I started a dedicated server on high collaboration. 2 days in we are wanting to lower it to low collaboration. I changed the server settings to low but nothing changed on the experience/skillpoint panel.

Any ideas on how we can deal with this?

Thanks

Additionally to the other correct answers of the command and the server ui, you can also change it in the Difficulty.eco config file.

After changing the value, how do you 'update' the existing players? Does it rollback or roll forward specializations?

It was changed in the difficulty.eco file, server was restarted, but nothing appears to have changed in-game.

In the Difficulty.eco you need to change the other values as well, "LowCollaboration" is just a preset used by the Server UI. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

Low Collab equals
"SpecialtyCostMultiplier": 1.0,
"SkillGainMultiplier": 2.0,

Does it also affect the specialty cost distribution? (e,g, 2, 5, 20, 50, 200... soon)

Where is a list of all these settings? The wiki seems to have outdated information.

No, the distribution can not be configured, the cost is affected by SpecialtyCostMultiplier. A full list can be found in the Difficulty.eco.template file.

I found this in the template

{ "CollaborationPreset": "MediumCollaboration", "DifficultyModifiers": { "SpecialtyCostMultiplier": 1.0, "SkillGainMultiplier": 1.0, "SpecialtyExperiencePerLevel": 25.0, "CraftResourceModifier": 1.0, "CraftTimeModifier": 1.0, "PlayerExperiencePerSpecialtyExperience": 0.0 }, "EndgameCraftCost": "Normal" }

The only difference with low collaboration is the skillgainmultiplier? Does that refer to the stars/specialization?

Yes.

Is the wiki incorrect? It says SpecialtyCostMultiplier is no longer in use. https://wiki.play.eco/en/Server_Configuration#Difficulty.eco

Seems so!
