Changing the death penalty settings on your HumanitZ server allows you to customize what happens when players die. Whether you want to make survival more forgiving for new players or increase the consequences of death for a more challenging experience, adjusting these settings can help you tailor the server to your preferred playstyle. In this guide, we’ll show you how to modify the death penalty on your HumanitZ server and explain the available options.
Adjusting the Death Penalty Setting on Your HumanitZ Server
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Before making any changes, ensure that your server is fully stopped.

This helps prevent configuration changes from being overwritten or reverted to their default values.
3. Navigate to the Configuration Files tab to access your server’s configuration settings.

4. In the Configuration Files section, locate the gameserversettings.ini file, then click Config Editor next to it to open the configuration settings.

5. Locate the On Death Modifier field, then select the death penalty option you’d like to apply to your server.

6. Once you have finished editing the settings, click the Save button to apply the changes to your server.

If you prefer to modify the server name directly within the configuration file instead of using the UI, click Text Editor next to Config Editor and make your changes there.

Using the Text Editor allows you to preserve custom configurations, such as installed mods and custom scenarios, without having them overwritten or affected by the preset settings in the Config Editor.
