HumanitZ Server Loot Configuration Guide

HumanitZ Server Loot Configuration Guide

Loot balance defines the entire feel of your HumanitZ server. Set it too scarce and new players churn out of frustration before they experience the game. Set it too generous and veteran players rush end-game gear in hours, deflating long-term engagement. HumanitZ exposes a fine-grained set of loot configuration variables in GameServerSettings.ini that let you dial in exactly the survival tension you want.

Core Loot Settings

[LootSettings]

# Global loot probability multiplier (applied to all containers)
# 0.5 = half the default items spawn | 1.0 = default | 2.0 = double | 5.0 = near-full containers
LootAbundance=1.0

# Time in SECONDS before a looted container can repopulate
# 3600 = 1 hour | 7200 = 2 hours | 86400 = 24 hours
ContainerRespawnTime=3600

# Whether containers respawn once (false) or indefinitely (true)
InfiniteContainerRespawn=true

# Maximum number of items per container slot (affects rare items)
MaxItemsPerSlot=3

Per-Category Loot Weights

Beyond the global multiplier, individual item categories can be tuned independently. This lets you create servers with abundant food but rare weapons, or vice versa:

[LootCategorySettings]

# Weapon spawns (guns, ammo, melee)
WeaponLootMultiplier=0.8        ; Slightly below default — keeps weapons valuable

# Medical supply spawns (bandages, meds, antibiotics)
MedicalLootMultiplier=1.5       ; Generous — reduces frustrating death-by-infection

# Food and drink spawns
FoodLootMultiplier=1.2          ; Slightly boosted — reduces early-game starvation

# Building materials (nails, wood planks, metal sheets)
MaterialLootMultiplier=1.0      ; Default

# Fuel containers
FuelLootMultiplier=0.7          ; Scarcity adds value to vehicle gameplay

High-Tier / Military Loot Zones

[SpecialLootSettings]

# Multiplier applied ONLY inside military zones (barracks, armories)
MilitaryLootMultiplier=1.5

# Chance (0.0–1.0) that a military container has a rare item in its rarest slot
MilitaryRareItemChance=0.15

# Airdrops — how often they appear (in minutes of server real-time)
AirdropIntervalMinutes=60

# Number of items per airdrop crate
AirdropItemCount=12

Applying Changes

Loot settings are read at server startup. To apply changes:

1. Edit GameServerSettings.ini
2. Stop the server completely
3. Restart the server — new loot rates take effect on the next container check cycle

Note: existing containers that have already been populated keep their current contents until they are looted and respawn under the new settings.
