Configuration

Configuration

QuantaWorks has two small configuration files in the config folder. They are read when the game or server starts; values outside their range fall back to the default (the log says so).

Server – config/quantaworks-server.properties

Every gameplay rule is decided on the server; clients never change balance.

Key	Default	Range	What it does
combustionGeneratorOutput	50	1 – 10,000	E per burning tick of the Combustion Generator (it is off while QuantaVolt is installed)
preferredNamespaces	minecraft, quantavolt, quantaworks	ids	Which mod's item a machine makes when several mods make the same form (first wins, then the smallest id)
legacyMaterialTags	true	true/false	Also read old tags such as c:iron_ingots (only where c:ingots/iron is missing)
fallbackRecipes	true	true/false	Derive the recipes that turn ingots, gems, plates … back into dust
strictBalance	false	true/false	Also switch off data pack recipes that create material from nothing in a loop (derived ones always are)
assemblerBlockedRecipes	(empty)	recipe ids	Crafting recipes the Assembler and the Assembly Complex must not automate
farmsEnabled	true	true/false	Farming Station and Tree Harvester may change the world (off: they stand still)
farmInterval	10	1 – 200	Ticks between two actions of a field machine
farmRadius	4	1 – 6	Farming Station area: 2 × radius + 1 blocks square (4 = 9 × 9)
deepCoreEnergyPerOre	20,000,000	1,000,000 – 2,000,000,000	Energy the Deep Core Extractor needs for one ore block
deepCoreRegionReserve	50,000	100 – 100,000,000	Ore blocks one region of 128 × 128 blocks holds for Deep Core Extractors

All recipes, materials, alloys, crop rules, growth profiles, reconstruction rules and Deep Core ore tables are data and can be changed with a data pack – see For Mod Developers.

Client – config/quantaworks-client.properties

Visual only, never affects gameplay.

Key	Default	Range	What it does
particleDensity	1.0	0 – 4	Multiplier for the particles of machines and plants (0 = off)
interiorEffects	true	true/false	Life inside plants behind the viewport (glow, sparks, steam)
flowEffects	true	true/false	What leaves machines (vapour, smoke, dust)
