Options

Config

Variable	Description	What to put in
auto_time	Whether or not to automatically get the last migration time. If you set this to false, you have to define the hours since change using the -t argument.	True/False
events	Whether or not to automatically remove event spawns from the nesting species list.	True/False
less_queries	If turned on, the script will query all Mons and Spawns from the database at once for each area. Else, it will query them for every nest, putting a lot of load on your database. Depending on your setup, one option will be faster than the other. I recommend just testing out both.	True/False
pokestop_pokemon	Whether or not to use less-reliable Pokestop Pokemon to determine nests. If on MAD, this option will forcebly set to False.	True/False
i_scan_berlin	If turned on, the most common nesting species in your whole area will be ignored from further analyzations. This is useful if you’re living in a meganest (with Berlin being really the only one world-wide currently)	True/False

Scanner DB / Nest DB

Since options for both Scanner DB and Nest DB are practically the same, both sections are being combined here.

Variable	Description	What to put in
scanner	The type of Scanner backend you’re using	mad/rdm
custom_pokemon_table	If you happen to store pokemon data in another table than `pokemon`. Can also be set to e.g. `backupdb.pokemon_history`. Not available in the default config, must be added on your own.	table name
name	The name of the database	Text
password	The password used to access the database	Text
user	The username used to access the database	Text
host	The host of the database	IP
port	The port of the database	Number

Geojson

Since Geojsons are only used in PMSF, you can ignore most of this section if you’re not using that. Just make sure to put geojson.json as the value for path

Variable	Description	What to put in
path	The path to save the Geojson in	Text
default_park_name	The name to use if there’s no name set on OSM	Text
