Server notes

Generate cluster_token.txt at accounts.klei.com before first boot or the server cannot register with the lobby. ★ Resetting your Steam password invalidates EVERY generated token at once — the most common "it broke for no reason" failure. tick_rate defaults to **15** (not 30); raising it to 30 doubles CPU cost and hurts weak hardware. ★ modoverrides.lua is per-shard: after editing Master/ you must copy it to Caves/ or caves load no mods at all and players emerge to missing items. mods/dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua lives under mods/, not the cluster folder; skipping it reports missing mods. ★ Edit only worldgenoverride.lua — leveldataoverride.lua is written by the game. Lua mods share the game main thread and are the top cause of lag. The server main loop is single-threaded, so single-core clock speed beats core count. Roughly 65 MB RAM per player; ~3.5 GHz single-core and 4 GB RAM recommended.
