Is it possible to change playstyle after worldgen?

[vane]

I started a dedicated server with some friends, not knowing that you can change the playstyle to be a little less hardcore. Is it possible to change the playstyle after worldgen or is this a worldgen only setting?

Welcome to the forums

Almost anything that is configurable at world creation can later be changed via ingame commands.

Here's the list: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php?title=List_of_server_commands#World_Control

Notes:

• Any command you enter will only take effect after you stop and restart the server.
• Do not include the square brackets when writing the command. Those just mean "put a valid value here".
• Not all values are valid for all commands, even if the command accepts the value. For example, food spoiling can never be set to 0, only 0.1 or above (in other words, the wiki is wrong).
• The value listed as "default" may not be the value your world currently has, based on the settings you chose at world creation.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I was able to set keep inventory on death but I don't see any option for setting the length of day and night, does that exist?

[Streetwind]

That does not exist, no. The default "day" length is fixed. How much of that is daylight and how much is nighttime depends on your location ingame and the time of year, as Vintage Story simulates seasons, climate, and latitude.

You can define the length of a year, but that might be one of the few settings only available at world creation.
