Adjusting tool durability and mining speed on a Vintage Story server allows direct rebalancing of the game's resource-gathering pace to suit players' preferred time commitment. Increasing these values can reduce the repetitive grind of early-game survival, whereas lowering them emphasizes the scarcity and value of high-tier metal tools. This customization ensures the progression system aligns with the server's overall philosophy, whether it emphasizes rapid, large-scale construction or slow, methodical advancement through the ages.
