Configuration File

The mod can be configured through a ModSettings.xml file. All settings are optional — any value omitted from the file will use its default. The file is shared across all Build and Repair blocks on the server.

Note: You can also change most settings at runtime using chat commands (admin only) — see Live Configuration below. Some settings (such as range, power, and welder-specific options) still require a session restart to take effect.

Live Configuration

Server admins can view and change settings at runtime without restarting, using chat commands:

Command	Description
`/nanobars config list`	List all settings with their current values.
`/nanobars config get <setting>`	Get a specific setting’s current value.
`/nanobars config set <setting> <value>`	Change a setting immediately.
`/nanobars config save`	Save current settings to `ModSettings.xml` (world folder).
`/nanobars config save --global`	Save settings to the PC-wide mod storage folder (`%AppData%\SpaceEngineers\Storage\<mod>`). Acts as a per-machine default for every world. World-storage file (if present) always wins on load.
`/nanobars config reload`	Reload settings from `ModSettings.xml`.
`/nanobars config reset`	Reset all settings to defaults.
`/nanobars config delete`	Reset to defaults and delete the world `ModSettings.xml`. Add `--global` to delete only the PC-wide file, or `--all` to delete both.

Most settings take effect immediately. Some changes (such as range, power, and welder-specific settings) require a session restart.

Creating the File

Single Player

Load your world as normal.
Type the following command in chat:
```
/nanobars config create
```
A confirmation message appears in chat with the file path:
The file is created at one of these paths depending on which mod version you use:

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\[######]\MyWorldName\Storage\SKO-Nanobot-BuildAndRepair-System_SKO-Nanobot-BuildAndRepair-System\ModSettings.xml

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\[######]\MyWorldName\Storage\SKO-Nanobot-BuildAndRepair-System-Original_SKO-Nanobot-BuildAndRepair-System\ModSettings.xml
Open the file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad++) and edit the values as needed.

Dedicated Server (Torch)

Place the ModSettings.xml file in the storage folder that matches the mod version you have installed:

Version	Path
Nerfed Version	`[TorchPath]\Instance\Storage\2111073562.sbm_SKO-Nanobot-BuildAndRepair-System\ModSettings.xml`
Original Resources Version	`[TorchPath]\Instance\Storage\3099489876.sbm_SKO-Nanobot-BuildAndRepair-System\ModSettings.xml`
Testing Version	`[TorchPath]\Instance\Storage\3461889745.sbm_SKO-Nanobot-BuildAndRepair-System\ModSettings.xml`

You can generate a base file from a local game using the command above, then copy and edit it for the server.
