Hey there! Glad you're enjoying the mod.

If you want to change a mod's settings, you'll need to edit the configuration file ("GameUserSettings.ini") on your server. Some web hosts let you do this through their control panel, but you can usually just FTP into your server and download/edit/re-upload the file yourself.

The file can be found here:

Windows Servers --> ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/GameUserSettings.ini

Linux Servers --> ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini

Once you can edit the file, add the following block of text to the bottom:

[RebalancedCompostBin]
DisablePickup=False
SpeedMultiplier=2.00000
DisableThatchNotify=False

And change the "Speed Multiplier" to whatever you'd like. =) You can also edit the other settings if you want, too (disable pickup, disable thatch notification, etc).

Note: You'll need to restart the server for the changes to take effect.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Hey Psycho,

I think I found the bug you're seeing. Thanks for reporting it. =) I definitely tested in single-player prior to release, I'm not sure what changed. I've got a few other tweaks I'd like to make to this mod, including making all of the admin-settings accessible in-game so you don't have to mess with the INI file.

I'm working on a Halloween mod at the moment, but as soon as it's released, I'll come update this one. Sorry about the wait.

honestly i didnt think u would respond but ty for that and im was already testing out another mod
but since u messaged back i would be glad to use this mod so ty u very much
Psycho 24 Sep, 2017 @ 5:42pm 
and also can there be a way for only admins or server owners to change the speed multiplier ?

You bet. I always support my mods as best I can. =)

Yep, that's how it'll work in the next patch. There will be an "Admin Settings" option in the Multiuse Wheel (but it'll only show up if you're an admin), where you can change the settings for that specific compost bin, or update the settings for every compost bin on the server. =) Should be a whole lot easier than updating the INI settings.

You bet! Thanks for the kind words. This is one of my smaller mods, but also one of my favorites. =)

I was wondering if it would be possible to make the bin re-nameable? So S+ users can add an * before the name to prevent thatch from being inadvertently removed from the bin via the pull system. Otherwise love it!

That’s a great suggestion, I’ll add that. Thanks!

so will the S+/SS farmer pull fertilizer and large fertilizer from this mods bin?

I believe so, but I haven’t tested in a while. =)

Will you ever make this open-source?
