HumanitZ has a long list of options that let you tailor your server, from zombie difficulty and loot rarity to day length, companion dogs and base building rules. All of them live in one place in your MintServers panel, the Game Settings tab. This guide explains what each option does.
⚠️ Important Warning:
Always make sure your server is completely stopped on your MintServers panel before changing settings, then start it again once you have saved.
How to Change Your Settings
- Log into your MintServers panel, open your HumanitZ server and click the Stop button.
- Click
Game Settingsin the left sidebar, under the Tools section. - Change the options you want. Options with an on/off switch are toggles, and the rest take a number or text.
- Save your changes.
- Go back to the Console tab and click Start.
💡 Pro Tip:
Every option has a short description under it in the panel. If you are ever unsure what a number means, that description tells you which value does what.
