+Evennia settings file.
+
+The available options are found in the default settings file found
+here:
+
+/home/ubuntu/vantamoo-py/lib/python3.10/site-packages/evennia/settings_default.py
+
+Remember:
+
+Don't copy more from the default file than you actually intend to
+change; this will make sure that you don't overload upstream updates
+unnecessarily.
+
+When changing a setting requiring a file system path (like
+path/to/actual/file.py), use GAME_DIR and EVENNIA_DIR to reference
+your game folder and the Evennia library folders respectively. Python
+paths (path.to.module) should be given relative to the game's root
+folder (typeclasses.foo) whereas paths within the Evennia library
+needs to be given explicitly (evennia.foo).
+
+If you want to share your game dir, including its settings, you can
+put secret game- or server-specific settings in secret_settings.py.
