Server settings and gather rates

The startup parameters that define what kind of server you are running.

3 min read

server.cfg
server.hostname   "Your server name"
server.description "Shown in the server browser"
server.worldsize  3500
server.seed       1234567
server.maxplayers 100

World size drives memory more than player count does. 3000 is a quick vanilla wipe, 4000 is the common middle ground, and 4500 or above needs a plan with real headroom.

Gather rates are not a vanilla setting — they come from a plugin such as GatherManager. Install it first, then edit its config rather than looking for a server variable.
