tModLoader servers: keep crash logs boring
tModLoader multiplies memory pressure and startup time. Treat mod updates like dependency upgrades: read changelogs, snapshot the world, and schedule downtime instead of “click update during peak.” The official project publishes docs and migration notes via tModLoader on GitHub — always verify your branch matches the client pack you distribute.
RAM: plan for worst-case load
Peak RAM is not average RAM. If you host large worlds with heavy generation mods, leave headroom so the OS does not swap — swapping feels like “random lag” to players.
Crash logs are product, not shame
Centralize logs where you can diff them. When opening a ticket with a host (including us), attach the last crash + mod list version pins — it saves half the thread.
