How to Change Difficulty on Your Return to Moria Server

Return to Moria has several difficulty presets, plus a custom option that lets you tune individual parts of the game, from enemy damage to how often orcs attack your base. This guide shows you how to change them on your server.

Difficulty Presets

• story - Minimal danger, for players who want to focus on the story.
• solo - Balanced for a single dwarf.
• normal - Balanced for a small company of dwarves.
• hard - A challenge for a large company of dwarves.
• custom - Lets you control each category individually.

Step 1: Set a Preset

1. Log into your MintServers panel, select your Return to Moria server, and click Stop.
2. Open the Files tab in the left-hand sidebar.
3. In your main server directory, click MoriaServerConfig.ini to open the text editor.

4. Under [World.Create], change the Difficulty.Preset value to the preset you want.
5. Under [World], change the Name value to something new. This makes the server create a fresh world with your chosen difficulty.
6. Click the Save Content button, then go back to the Console tab and click Start.

[World]
Name="My Hard Moria World"

[World.Create]
Difficulty.Preset=hard

Your previous world is not deleted. To go back to it, set Name back to the old name.

Step 2: Custom Difficulty

To fine-tune your world, set Difficulty.Preset=custom and then adjust the settings below. Each one is a line in the same [World.Create] section.

• Difficulty.Custom.CombatDifficulty - Enemy damage and health. Values: verylow, low, default, high, veryhigh.
• Difficulty.Custom.EnemyAggression - How often enemies attack. Values: low, default, high, veryhigh.
• Difficulty.Custom.SurvivalDifficulty - Hunger, stamina and despair. Values: verylow, low, default, high.
• Difficulty.Custom.MiningDrops - How much ore you get per vein. Values: verylow, low, default, high.
• Difficulty.Custom.WorldDrops - Enemy loot. Values: verylow, low, default, high.
• Difficulty.Custom.HordeFrequency - Hordes triggered by noise. Values: verylow, low, default, high, veryhigh.
• Difficulty.Custom.SiegeFrequency - Orc attacks on your base. Values: verylow, low, default, high, veryhigh.
• Difficulty.Custom.PatrolFrequency - Enemy patrol spawns. Values: verylow, low, default, high, veryhigh.

For example, this makes combat tougher but reduces hordes:

[World.Create]
Difficulty.Preset=custom
Difficulty.Custom.CombatDifficulty=high
Difficulty.Custom.HordeFrequency=low

Changing Difficulty With Console Commands

You can also change difficulty while the server is running by typing commands into the Console tab. For example, to switch to custom difficulty and then raise combat difficulty:

difficulty custom
setcustomdifficulty CombatDifficulty high

You can also use difficulty followed by a preset name, such as difficulty hard. Console changes may not fully take effect on an existing world, so for the most reliable result, create a new world using the steps above.

Now you can tailor the challenge to your company of dwarves! If a setting is not behaving as expected, no worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will gladly jump in and help you out.
