New run
World settings
Settings for the layers themselves: what is placed on them, how long you may stay and how the ground behaves.
Progression settings
Unchipped
Disables your health panel, forcing you to put more effort into figuring what specific ailments you have. Enables line of sight.

If on, the layers will loop after a certain point, making the run endless until death. You cannot beat the game this way.
Default Off
World settings
Loot density
How much loot appears in every layer. Affects things like drop capsules, lifepods, crates
Default 1x, from 0x to 2x
Distance loot multiplier
Loot density is multiplied by this for each layer you cross In other words, if you set it to e.g. 0.5x, the amount of loot would be halved every time you descend a layer
Default 1x, from 0x to 1x
Trap density
How many traps appear in every layer. Affects things like mechanical traps, enemies, other hazards.
Default 1x, from 0x to 3x
Distance trap increase
This number is added to the trap density for each layer you cross In other words, if you set it to e.g. 0.5x, the trap amount would go from 1x -> 1.5x -> 2x and so on
Default +0 per layer, from +0 per layer to +1 per layer
Ambient light
How much should areas without a direct light source be illuminated
Default Pitch black. Options Pitch black, Enough to see, Bright
Layer time limit
In minutes, how long can you stay in every layer before punishment. When it runs out the radiation line starts. It never does on layers 10 to 12, in Unchipped runs or on a Solar-struck layer.
Default 60 min, from 5 min to 300 min
Ore amount
How much copper/ilmenite to create in each layer
Default 1x, from 0x to 3x
Layer modifier chance
How likely is a layer modifier to appear, per-layer
Default 40%, from 0% to 100%
Time between earthquakes
How long, on average, it will take for an earthquake to appear. At 1x one comes every 600 to 1,750 s, never on layers 11 and 12 and never while you sleep. The first one comes 240 to 1,000 s into the run whatever the setting, and one in ten starts at full strength at once.
Default 1x, from 0.1x to 5x
Ambient temperature offset
How much warmer/colder should the environment be on average
Default 0 °C, from -80 °C to 50 °C
