A clear, step-by-step walkthrough for anyone who wants full control over Cubic Odyssey’s settings—no prior modding experience required.
Cubic Odyssey Config Tweaking Guide by Jin Park
📋 1. Prerequisites
A text editor that understands plain text (Notepad on Windows will work), but we highly recommend something like Notepad++ or VS Code for syntax highlighting and search-and-replace.
Basic comfort with copy-paste and saving files.
Optional but strongly recommended: make a backup of the entire configs folder before you begin!
🔍 2. Locating Your configs Folder
Via Steam
Open your Steam Library.
Right-click Cubic Odyssey → Manage → Browse local files.
In the opened Explorer window, navigate to:
data\configs
(Note: If you installed to a custom drive/folder, just follow the same path under your Cubic Odyssey install.)
📂 3. Config Folder Overview
Inside …\data\configs\ you’ll find subfolders like:
Folder Name What It Controls
characters Player & NPC stats, models & speeds
items Properties of in-game items
weapons Damage, range & fire-rate of weapons
recipes Crafting recipes and costs
worldbiomes Environment settings per biome
…and many more see screenshot for full list
Tip: You can safely ignore folders you’re not interested in; only edit the ones you want to tweak!
💾 4. Backing Up
Before editing:
Right-click the entire configs folder.
Select Copy, then Paste somewhere safe (e.g. your Desktop).
Rename it configs-backup.
If anything breaks, just delete the modified folder and rename this back to configs.
✏️ 5. Editing a .cfg FileOpen the subfolder you want (e.g. characters).
Right-click player.cfg → Edit with Notepad++ (or your chosen editor).
You’ll see something like:
CharacterCfg
{
maleModel “male_character”
femaleModel “female_character”
defaultTeam PLAYER
skin “player”
walkSpeed 3.2
sprintMultiplier 1.43
jumpHeight 1.25
jumpTime 0.25
scale 1.15
life 30
startArmed FALSE
}
Change any value to your heart’s content.
Numbers (e.g. walkSpeed 3.2) can be increased or decreased.
Booleans are TRUE/FALSE.
Strings stay in quotes (“something”).
Save your changes (Ctrl + S).
📑 6. Parameter Cheat-Sheet
Parameter What It Affects Example Tweaks
walkSpeed Normal walking speed 4.5 for a faster pace
sprintMultiplier Sprint speed = walkSpeed × multiplier 2.0 for very quick sprints
jumpHeight Maximum jump height 2.0 for higher jumps
jumpTime Duration (in seconds) of the jump animation 0.4 for a snappier jump
scale Character size 1.5 for a larger avatar
life Starting health points 50 for extra survivability
startArmed Start the game with weapons equipped? TRUE to skip unarmed play
🚀 7. Apply & Test
Close your editor.
Launch Cubic Odyssey via Steam.
Play and see your changes in action!
If something’s off—no worries—just revert to your backup or tweak again.
🛠️ 8. Advanced Tips
Use comments by prefixing lines with // (e.g. // walkSpeed 3.2) to disable them without deleting.
Explore other folders like weapons or recipes the same way—each .cfg follows the same structure.
🎉 You now have full control over Cubic Odyssey’s in-game parameters. Go forth, experiment, and tailor the game exactly to your playstyle!
