CryoSicknessTime
Control Cryopod cooldown, Cryo sickness on deploy, and empty-cryopod capture time from config.json. Optional PvP override, optional per-group values through ArkServerApi Permissions, and a safe in-game/RCON reload. Lightweight and server-friendly.
CryoSicknessTime changes only cryopod-related timings:
Touched: Buff_CryoCooldown_C (player cooldown after deploy), Cryo sickness on the dino after deploy, empty cryopod capture time
Not touched: food timers, unrelated buffs, or other systems
Features
Player cooldown after deploy: CryoCooldownSeconds → Buff_CryoCooldown_C
Cryo sickness on the dino after deploy: CryoSicknessSeconds (vanilla can show ~300s — you set the real duration)
Fast cryopod capture with an empty pod: CryopodSeconds (e.g. 5.0s default, down to 0.1s per rank)
Optional Permissions rules: different cooldown, PvP cooldown, cryopod capture, and PvP cryopod per permission; first match wins (PermissionCooldowns + PermissionCacheTtlSeconds)
Optional PvP mode: while buff PvpBuffClassName is on the player, use SecondsPvp / CryopodSecondsPvp from the matching row, or fall back to CryoCooldownSecondsPvp / CryopodSecondsPvp (EnablePvpOverride)
Live reload without restart: CryoSicknessTime.reload (console / RCON / admin)
Lightweight, server-friendly
Commands
Config reload: CryoSicknessTime.reload
RCON: CryoSicknessTime.reload
In-game (admin / cheat): cheat CryoSicknessTime.reload
