Barotrauma offers many unique challenges for players to explore and overcome. A huge factor in these challenges is players making mistakes or purposefully harming the ship and its crew. By enabling the karma system, players will be given harsh penalties for attacking other players and causing mayhem. This system allows mechanics such as PvP to remain enabled while still restricting players from causing too much harm. Server owners can also change the respawn interval to reduce the penalty for dying.
Note: Karma settings can only be managed by server admins or players with certain permissions.
