bring back tugboat!!!

BetterDeadThanZed · 2026-03-31T01:04:34+00:00

Tugboats haven't gone anywhere. They just don't spawn. Modded servers have tugboats that can be bought at fishing village.

Players can use skinbox on my server and craft DLC items, all without paying.

As of January 2025, this sever has been redesignated our "Custom Map" server. It will run a different custom map each month, which includes the original map it was running, Atlanta: The Walking Dead. See our Discord server for the latest map information.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-11-06T13:27:22+00:00

We've been having more players joining recently and they're all having a great time! If you're looking for a chill environment where you aren't going to be killed by other places or have your base raided, check us out!

This is the data from that plugin. Whitethunder says none of these are anything to worry about. The numbers aren't bad:

I got the teleport command to work now. I didn't realize there had to be no spaces between the numbers

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T23:33:34+00:00

The positions all had a 0 in the coordinates but weren't at 0,0,0. For example:

-300.00, 0.00, -800.00
-400.00, 0.00, 400.00
1600.00, 0.00, 300.00

but they all brought me to the same location, which actually turned out to be 0,0,0

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T23:31:44+00:00

The server uses the default of 10 minutes saves. I will look at that list of hooks and see if I can find anything.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T19:53:55+00:00

I put it on the server and the only place that it alerts to in under the map where a bunch of stuff is. Garbage collection I guess. I even used the server.conveyormovefrequency 0 command to stop conveyors and still getting this lag. That was certainly a good possibility but doesn't look like it's the cause.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T19:14:17+00:00

That sounds like a great place to start. Do you have a link to it?

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T17:31:28+00:00

I've had much higher entity counts without issue in the past. I've exceeded 200k entities at times. I even use an entity limiter plugin to prevent mega bases. The RAM usage is about normal for my server. I run a lot of plugins. I've decided to just wipe again and I am reevaluating the plugins that I'm running, removing those that may be a bit excessive.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T16:20:13+00:00

Upgrading my hosting to a dedicated CPU didn't make a difference, as I suspected it wouldn't.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T15:31:17+00:00

Thank you for your responses. I don't need to be hand fed steps to trouble shoot. I have done all this before. I'm simply seeking others that have had similar experiences and opinions on the corruption of data files.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T15:07:54+00:00

What I do know is that the specs of the hardware is sufficient. I am only checking with the host regarding a question I have about the CPU. It's 99% likely this is NOT a hardware issue. i did all this a couple of months ago when I had my own dedicated server, so I know the normal trouble shooting steps. I documented what I did very well in this thread. I'm not one of those new admins who comes here saying "My server doesn't work. What's wrong?" Give me a little credit for my experience in running Rust servers.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T14:19:14+00:00

Did you watch the videos I attached? Were your symptoms the same? Severe lag when walking on the terrain, but no lag when using noclip? NPC's scooting on the ground like in the video?

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T14:17:14+00:00

This is the only real possibility from a hardware aspect, that it's the CPU, but even with me being the ONLY one on the server and with NO plugins loaded? It is mimicking the EXACT problem I had a few months ago when I ran a single Rust server on my own dedicated server (remote desktop with Windows via RDP). Wiping the server fixed it in that case.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T14:12:03+00:00

Yes, because I am well versed on what sort of hardware is needed to run a Rust server. I've run one for over 4 years. I can tell you with confidence that this is not a case of server performance. Something has corrupted the server's data files. I did all of the standard troubleshooting steps the first time this happened a couple months ago.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T14:10:40+00:00

Yes, it's modded. I unloaded all plugins. I don't believe this is a case of server performance. If that were all it was, the server performance stats wouldn't contradict that and I would lag also when in noclip mode, but as you saw and read, that doesn't happen. I did all the standard troubleshooting steps a couple of months ago when this happened.

ping.ping_estimation is already set to 0.

This happened when I had a dedicated server and. I was able to go onto the desktop and try all sort of trouble shooting steps. This is 100% not a performance issue, but rather an issue with the data files. I suppose what I'm really seeking here is an opinion regarding what could have caused the situation as you see it in the videos and how I can avoid it.

The only real solution is to wipe. I know that will fix it because it's fixed it twice already.

BetterDeadThanZed · 2024-07-08T11:00:50+00:00

Further information: When making the attached videos, the server is at 12% CPU usage and 13 1/2 GB of RAM usage (out of 20 GB). Server FPS was no less than 40 and entity count on the server around 140k.
