server.meleearmor (Generated) Global multiplier for armour effectiveness against melee damage; 1.0 = default, values above 1.0 make armour stronger against melee server variable 1 Admin
server.meleedamage (Generated) Global multiplier for all melee weapon damage dealt; 1.0 = default, 2.0 = double damage, 0.5 = half damage server variable 1 Admin
server.metabolismtick (Generated) Multiplier for player metabolism tick frequency; lower values slow down hunger, thirst and calorie consumption rates server variable 1 Admin
server.modifiertickrate (Generated) Rate multiplier for status effect (buff/debuff) ticks; lower values slow all active modifiers such as poison, radiation sickness and warmth server variable 1 Admin
server.monumentpuzzleresetradiation Allows radiation to flood monuments to force puzzles to reset server variable True Admin
server.monumentpuzzleresetradiationamount (Generated) Radiation damage per second applied to players inside a monument during its puzzle-reset radiation phase server variable 3 Admin

server.monumentpuzzleresetwarnings (Generated) When enabled, chat warnings are broadcast to players inside a monument shortly before its puzzle-reset radiation begins server variable True Admin
server.motd server variable Admin
server.netcache (Generated) Enables server-side network caching of entity state; when enabled only deltas are sent per update rather than the full entity data, significantly reducing bandwidth server variable True Admin
server.netcachesize (Generated) Maximum byte size of the network entity cache; 0 means no hard limit server variable 0 Admin
