Summary
Abiotic Factor servers come with death penalties enabled by default. This can be a harsh penalty, as dying in the game can occur frequently, resulting in lost progress. The penalty consists of players dropping items when dying and lowering their durability. By changing the death penalty setting, only the durability of items will be lowered when a player dies, allowing them to retain their items.
