Nesting
This guide provides detailed information on managing nesting, including commands for nest management and configuring nesting-related settings on a server.
Nesting Commands
Commands related to nesting, constructing nests, and nest management are listed below. The required permissions and RCON support are also specified.
Enabling and Configuring Nesting on the Server
To enable and configure nesting on your server, the server’s Game.ini file must be modified. Below are the available configuration options which can be added under the [/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession] header in the Game.ini file:
INFO
WindowsServer is the folder name for Windows servers. If you are using a different operating system, the folder name may differ, but the other folder names will remain the same.
Available Configurations for Nesting
Below is a table listing all configuration options available for nesting:
| Config Name | Description |

NestDisrepairDespawnTime=7200 | Time in seconds for a nest with 0 health to be permanently destroyed. |
NestLowHealthThreshold=0.2 | The nest health percentage when a warning will be displayed to the owner. |
NestBabySlotGenerationTime=300 | Time in seconds for a baby slot to generate if conditions are met. |

FamilyBuffRange=5000 | Distance in centimeters for applying the family buff. Set to 0 to disable. |
NestResourceMultiplier=1.0 | Multiplier for the amount of resources required to build a nest. Set to 0 for no resource requirements. |
NestResourcelessConstructionSpeed=5.0 | Health contribution to a nest when NestResourceMultiplier is set to zero. |
bNestsInvulnerable=false | If true, nests cannot be destroyed by other players. |
NestObstructionRadius=500 | The radius in centimeters where other nests cannot be placed near an existing one. |
bSpawnParentNestOnLogin=false | If true, the parent's nest will spawn when a young child logs in. |
bUseTutorialCustomGrowthMultiplier=false | If true, uses TutorialCustomGrowthMultiplier for growth rate during the tutorial. |

Example Game.ini Configuration
Below is an example configuration to enable nesting, set up growth limitations, and manage nest properties:
[/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession]
bServerNesting=true
bNestingDecorations=true
MinNestingGrowth=0.75
MaxNestImmunityBuffGrowth=0.25
MaxNestRespawnGrowth=0.5
bNestsInvulnerable=false
NestObstructionRadius=500
NestInactiveDespawnTimeSolo=120
NestDisrepairDespawnTime=7200This configuration enables nesting, allows decorations, sets growth limitations, and specifies nest behavior regarding invulnerability and despawn times.
