How To Adjust Flora Density (Grass and Trees) for Better Server Performance in Space Engineers

Note:

In Space Engineers, “Flora” specifically refers to physical objects generated by the server, such as trees and bushes, which can be ground down for wood or crashed into. Grass density, on the other hand, is primarily a client-side graphical setting that each player controls individually in their own Options menu.

1. Log In to Your Panel

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

3. Select the ‘config’ Folder

---

4. Select the ‘Saves’ Folder

---

5. Select the ‘World’ Folder

---

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

---

7. Adjust the Flora Settings

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

This multiplier controls how many trees generate on planets.

Default: It is typically set to <FloraDensityMultiplier>1</FloraDensityMultiplier>.

Reduce Density: Change the value to 0.5 or 0.2 to drastically thin out the forests and improve server performance.

Remove Trees Entirely: Change the value to 0 to prevent any new trees from spawning.

Note: You can also look for the <EnableFlora> tag. Changing it to false will disable server-spawned vegetation entirely.
