Is there a way to change the difficulty of already created Outposts?

(for moderators: I hope you don’t delete this mini-manual, as for me you should have written it yourself, because -> it often happens when you start the game (any), then after playing 100-200 hours you begin to understand that at the beginning choosing the initial settings you did something wrong.
In Icarus, difficulty has a big impact on bad weather and, as a result, what building materials you can use outside to decorate your home.
Then, after playing 100-200 hours, having chosen the wrong difficulty, FOR EXAMPLE, the realization begins to come that, on the one hand, it has become uninteresting or impossible to continue playing for one reason or another,
And START AGAIN, given how much time you have to spend, it’s simply not a thrill. The consequence of this may be a complete loss of interest in the game, but I would not want to.)
I once experimented like that for the sake of interest and it seems that the difficulty changed for me, only I didn’t do it on Outpost.
1 The directory where all the saves are located (diverse things lie here) c:\Users\”Account name”\AppData\Local\Icarus\Saved
We save all the contents at this address to some other place several times, just in case, as something will need to be edited manually.
! For example, the name of your world is MyOutpost
2 Go further to the address to the directory "c:\Users\”Account name”\AppData\Local\Icarus\Saved\PlayerData\74758398094857332\Prospects"
Instead of the number 74758398094857332, you will have some other number (this is the number of the SteamID in decimal form)
Next, look for the MyOutpost.json file there, open it with Notepad or any text editor. Look for a group of lines right at the beginning of the file something like
"Cost": 0,
"Reward": 0,
"Difficulty": "Medium",
"Insurance": false,
"NoRespawns": false,
"ElapsedTime": 972620,
"SelectedDropPoint": 12
A line like "Difficulty": "Medium" is what you need. If the difficulty is "Hard" then
"Difficulty": "Hard",
