The collaboration settings on a server affect how quickly skill points are gained and how many specialties players can acquire. There are default four settings: None, Low, Medium, and High. Server administrators can also create their own, non-standard collaboration settings. (Such as making a category between Low and Medium.) Strange Loop Games recommends you base the Collaboration level based on the number of players you expect to have on the server:

None	'Low	'Medium	'High
1-3 players	3-10 players	10-30 players	30+ players

Collaboration Settings[edit | edit source]

The Collaboration settings affect the following:

Specialty Costs[edit | edit source]

A server with a higher collaboration setting will require more experience points to earn the next Specialization Point, reducing the number of specialties a single player can obtain in the 30 day window before the meteor hits. The player always starts with a specialization point in Self-Improvement and one free specialization point. The experience values for each new skill point do not change after the 7th additional point and their values under the different collaboration settings are:

None	Low	Medium	High
2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160	10, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800	20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600	40, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

Skill Gain[edit | edit source]

A server with a higher collaboration setting will cause players to gain experience slower, whereas a low collaboration setting will cause players to gain skill faster. This applies to both player experience and specialty experience.

None	Low	Medium	High
500%	200%	100%	100%

Craft Resource/Time modifier[edit | edit source]

A server with a lower Collaboration modifier causes players to craft items faster and less expensively.

None	Low Collaboration	Medium Collaboration	High Collaboration
50% Time/Resources required	Normal Time/Resources required	Normal Time/Resources required	Normal Time/Resources required

Endgame Crafting Cost[edit | edit source]

A server with a high collaboration setting increases the cost of two specific items: The laser and the Computer Lab.

None	Low	Medium	High
Normal	Normal	Normal	Expensive

Other Settings[edit | edit source]

There are two unused modifiers: "Player Experience per Specialty" and "Specialty Experience per Level," which, regardless of Collaboration level, are set to 0 and 25, respectively. Despite being unaffected by the default collaboration presets, sever operators coming up with their own custom collaboration settings may change them.

-A server with a higher collaboration will have higher skill point costs for each new specialty chosen, reducing the number of skills a single player can obtain. The first specialty always costs 0 SP and the cost for new specialties will not increase after the 7th specialty acquired. The values for each new specialty under the different collaboration settings are:
