Generates a steam://connect link and in-game "Connect to IP" candidates. Two conflicting claims exist for the direct-connect port (game port vs game port +2, D2); both candidates are shown with their sources instead of guessing

Official Resources & Community Tools
ResourcesBoth wikis (wiki.gg / fandom) plus the Chinese BWIKI, official site and Steam news, BattleMetrics monitoring; community admin tools listed as-is (ScumServerManager, SCUM Admin Helper, the now-EOL SCUM-RCON), each with a source tier - no endorsements
Server Capacity & Time Speed Planner
CapacityRAM baseline 8GB (official wiki) plus an editable rule of thumb (community claim 1-2GB per 10 players, explicitly unofficial); tickrate 5-30 validation; TimeOfDaySpeed=3.84 gives a 6.25-real-hour game day (pure arithmetic; the community 6h claim is shown alongside, D6); MaxPlayers default 64 vs 128 sold by hosts (D8)
Explicit-formula modelling on official defaults (five respawn options at 250/1000 FP and 1g/2g/3g, the three death/kill coefficients, PermadeathThreshold=-2500). The developer never published an FP formula, so every coefficient is editable and the modelling assumption is stated; the 0.05 FP/min passive rate is a single community source (tier C) used as default
Server admin and config generation (5)
Config files, startup scripts and command wizards for running a serverDerives the official trio from game port P: P (UDP game) / P+1 (UDP raw socket) / P+2 (Steam query); query-port protocol TCP vs UDP shown as conflicting sources (D1); panel -QueryPort=27015 divergence block; hard step >=3 validation for multi-instance; 27020-27050 Steam reserved-range collision warnings; TCP P "RCON (optional)" quoted from the wiki but not recommended (D3)
Firewall Rule Generator
FirewallWindows netsh and Linux ufw flavours; generates the UDP trio from the port matrix; per D1 the query-port rule defaults to UDP with an opt-in TCP checkbox (nothing TCP/RCON is emitted unless explicitly checked); multi-instance batches supported
SteamCMD Install & Backup
DeployAnonymous SteamCMD install/update for appid 3792580, the VC++ 2012/2013/2015-2022 and DirectX dependency list, the 64-bit Windows hard requirement, and the unofficial Linux Wine/Proton route (pterodactyl egg and AMP template shown side by side); backups emit copy-only commands (SaveFiles + Config), rotation/deletion is left to the user; graceful Ctrl+C shutdown and the db-wal check

Server notes
The official query-port rule is "game port +2" (default 7779), but pterodactyl-style panels pass an explicit -QueryPort=27015 by default - trust the actual launch arguments. The query-port protocol has a TCP vs UDP conflict (D1); allowing both is the conservative fix. Vanilla SCUM has no documented RCON interface: administration means in-game # commands by a joined admin, the in-game Server Settings menu (since 1.0), and editing files while stopped; the wiki port table's "TCP 7777 RCON (optional)" is a single table row with no official usage docs anywhere (D3). Anti-cheat is BattlEye since 2025-05-28 (EAC before that).
