How to setup regular restarts on your game server
This article will guide you setting up regular restarts. Restarting your game server can aid with performance by freeing up and refreshing the servers usage. Though it is important to look into performance if restarts have little to no effect.
For example Space Engineers, the content will always remain in the world even after a restart and whilst initially the restart will help as the world and grids are used performance issues could return. This is why map maintenance is vital for all games that allow it. Removing old unused content is always worth doing by setting decay timers or manually removing.
If you have not setup restarts on your server, we recommend you follow this article and set them right away.
