One window for the admin

Press F8. The tabs sit on the left, the open one in orange; every setting is a row with a

short explanation and its control on the right, and long pages scroll. The time of day is at

the top right. Drag the window wherever it is in the way least; on a small screen it shrinks

to fit.

The tabs are sorted by topic: first the world — Time, Weather, Wind, Events, Presets —

then the people — Players, Places, Announce, Player values — and last the Terrain

tools.

Change what you like, then press Apply everything at the bottom right. Everything back

to natural, beside it, puts time, weather, wind, rain damage and events back

the way the game runs them. Whatever you set stays until you change it or reset it — also

after the server restarts.

Only admins can open the window. Everyone else still gets the result: the weather you set is

the weather they see.

Time

| Choice | What happens |

| --- | --- |

| Natural | The normal day and night |

| Hold | The time of day stands still. The world keeps ageing and your smelters keep working |

| Fast-forward | The world clock jumps once to the hour you picked. Smelters, fermenters and world age jump with it |

Weather, rain and wind

Choose Clear, Rain, Thunderstorm or Fog, or Natural to get the usual

weather of the biome you are in.

Rain damage can be switched off. Rain then no longer wears down your buildings. Wood that

stands in water still rots as usual — only the rain is let off.

Wind is natural or set by hand. Set by hand, you pick where it comes from on a compass:

click or drag on the ring, and close to one of the eight directions it snaps to it. Then set

how strong it blows. While the wind is natural, the compass shows the wind blowing right now.

Handy when you are sailing somewhere.

Random events

Every event the game knows is in a list, each with its own Start button. It begins

where you are standing.

The window shows what is running and how long it still lasts, and one button ends it.

You can also hold new events back, so no troll raid spoils the building session.

Players, places and presets

Players lists everyone online. Bring here pulls someone to you, Go there takes you

to them.

Places are three spots of your own. Stand somewhere, press Save here, give it a name,

and jump back later with Go.

Presets are three saved mixes of time, weather and wind. Load one and it is set in the

world straight away.

Places and presets are yours alone; they are kept on your computer, not on the server.

Announcements

Type a message of up to 120 characters and send it to everyone. It appears in the middle of

the screen and in the chat, with your name in front of it.

Terrain tools

Tools for shaping the ground, for admins only.

Flatten with the pickaxe. Hold the pickaxe and keep the right mouse button pressed:

the ground under you becomes flat as you walk. You choose:
