Resource Spawning
Searching for useful resources is a crucial process in DayZ, whether it's food, weapons, or clothing for survival in the game's hostile world. By adjusting these parameters, you can change the quantity of resources a player can find, the locations where they can be found, and the rarity of various items. This allows you to make your server more hardcore by reducing the number of items and making search locations more challenging, or vice versa, easier.
TIP
How to Configure Resource Spawning
1) Navigate to the game panel. Stop the server in the Console section.
2) Go to the File Manager and open the mpmissions folder.
3) Open the folder with the map of your server. If your map is Chernarus, open the dayzOffline.chernarusplus folder; if it's Livonia, open the dayzOffline.enoch folder.
4) Once you've opened the map folder, open the db folder inside it, then the types.xml file.
5) In this file, you can edit the spawning of various items and resources.
