How to Change Crafting Cost on Your Conan Exiles Server

You can make crafting cheaper or more expensive, and speed up or slow down how long items take to produce, by editing ServerSettings.ini. These settings complement the broader game rates configuration.

Steps

1. Log into the Game Control Panel and navigate to your Conan Exiles service.
2. Stop the server.
3. Click Configuration Files, then open ServerSettings.ini in the Text Editor. Under [ServerSettings], set:

   ItemConvertionMultiplier=1.0
   CraftingCostMultiplier=1.0
   ResourceRespawnSpeedMultiplier=1.0
   

4. Click Save and start the server.

How the Multipliers Work

• CraftingCostMultiplier below 1.0 makes recipes cheaper; above 1.0 makes them more expensive.
• ItemConvertionMultiplier below 1.0 speeds up crafting (lower = faster); above 1.0 slows it down.
• ResourceRespawnSpeedMultiplier above 1.0 makes nodes respawn faster.

Common Presets

Casual (cheaper, faster):

CraftingCostMultiplier=0.5
ItemConvertionMultiplier=0.5
ResourceRespawnSpeedMultiplier=2.0

Hardcore (resource scarcity):

CraftingCostMultiplier=2.0
ItemConvertionMultiplier=2.0
ResourceRespawnSpeedMultiplier=0.5

Notes

• Existing items in player inventories are not affected by changes. Only newly crafted items use the new multipliers.
• Pair with ThrallConversionMultiplier for thrall-related crafting speed tuning.
• Some mods such as Better Thralls may override these settings.
