Server notes

Paths are relative to the dedicated server root; bundled hosting may use Eco_Data/Server. Stop and back up complete Storage, Configs and Mods. Web is separate from optional authenticated TCP3002 RCON; 3003 is for offline Steam traffic. World sides must match and be divisible by 4; generator edits do not resize an existing world. Resolve actual port conflicts; no fixed RAM or generation-time promise.
