How To Change Respawn Ship Cooldowns on Your Space Engineers Server

1. Log In to Your Panel


2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

The Cybrancee panel dashboard with an arrow pointing to the Files tab.

3. Select the ‘config’ Folder

The server file manager showing the config folder.

4. Select the ‘Saves’ Folder

The Saves folder highlighted in the server file manager.

5. Select the ‘World’ Folder

The World folder highlighted inside the Saves directory.

6. Inside the ‘World’ Folder, Select the ‘Sandbox_config.sbc‘ File

The Sandbox_config.sbc file highlighted in the world folder.

7. Configure the Respawn Ship Cooldown Setting

Scroll through the file or use Ctrl + F to find the <SpawnShipTimeMultiplier> tag.

To Remove Cooldowns Completely: Change the value to 0. Players can spawn in ships immediately upon death with no waiting penalty. The line should look exactly like this: <SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>0</SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>.

To Use Standard Vanilla Cooldowns: Change the value to 1 so the line reads <SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>1</SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>.

To Double the Cooldown Penalty (Hardcore): Change the value to 2 (or higher) to significantly increase the time players must wait before getting a new ship. Example: <SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>2</SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>.
