Server performance

This server has not answered a direct query in the last 48 hours.

48 hours: hourly readings. 30 to 90 days: one point a day, with the day's average and lowest fps, most entities and most memory. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.

local uses a map the game generates: procedural.

What are the rules and settings on local?

The name tells you nothing about gather rates: local states none. The group limit is 8 players, which is the default. This server runs build & creative, building in a sandbox, with nothing to gather. You find it under Modded, since plugins or settings change how it plays. VAC, Valve's anti-cheat, runs here.

About the server
