Death Recovery Mod (v1.13)

Increase time player recover back their item?
POV; My character died, and I came back to the gravestone 1 hour later but received nothing.

This does not happen when I immediately went to the gravestone after death (10mins or less) to recover back my items. How can I increase the timer? Does it related to "GlobalCorpseDecompositionTime"?

GlobalCorpseDecompositionTime has a major affect on this. The stone only recovers what's there. The corpse decays in 10 min or so, the death cache decays in like 5. If I remember correctly. Adjusting these timers increases your time to recover. I'm not sure if there is an adjustment for the death cache without the use of a mod but if there is it would be more valuable as a dino could eat your corpse.

It's possible I have the times backwards, 5 and 10. But either way I'm fairly sure it's 15 min total without adjusting it. It's been a while since I've looked into these timers.

Thank you for the reply.

We can adjust the "corpse decomposition time" in the Advanced setting before hosting a server, but unfortunately it will affect all corpses not just the player. it's kindda distracting especially if you're breeding mutated dinos which involve killing a lot of unwanted baby dinos and you can see some of their (unreachable) corpses stuck underground if riding a dire wolf, might cause lags probably later in the game iono probably I was being paranoid.

Can you someday add the function to increase the "death bag cache" recover timer for this mod? or is it quite impossible to do so?

It isn't impossible, but it is outside the scope of the original plans.

Okay I understand. Thank you for the reply though!
