Worldsettings Overrides

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-10

Overview

This module implements a comprehensive set of functions to dynamically override game tuning parameters and emit world configuration events based on difficulty levels. It acts as a centralized control layer for difficulty configuration, supporting a wide range of in-game systems including wildlife populations (e.g., bees, frogs, penguins), regrowth (e.g., plants, trees, grass), seasonal and daily cycle parameters, weather and lighting, rifts, meteors, hounds, and more. Functions either directly update values in the global TUNING table via OverrideTuningVariables, or post events to the world state machine (e.g., ms_setseasonlength, rifts_setdifficulty). The module supports a consistent vocabulary of difficulty levels (e.g., never, rare, often, always, none, few, many) across all features.

Usage example

-- Example: Set butterfly population to rare, enable fast regrowth, and configure summer difficulty
local function setWorldDifficulty(difficulty)
    butterfly(difficulty)  -- e.g., "rare"
    regrowth("fast")       -- e.g., "veryslow", "slow", "fast", "veryfast"
    summer(difficulty)     -- e.g., "often", "always"
end

-- Apply settings
setWorldDifficulty("rare")
