server config

You can find the game and server limitations here: Limitations.

server_config.json
Config	Description
servername	The hostname of your server (260 max. chars including markup). Markup for colors and UTF8 icons can be requested for servers with custom and fun game modes.
servername_short	The short version of the hostname (128 max. chars). Used for Discord/Steam Rich Presence. (Should not contain markup but can contain UTF8 icons)
gamemode	A description what you can do on your server.
website_url	A link to your servers homepage.
ipaddress	Address to bind your server on. Use "localhost" to make it accessible from your computer only. Use "0.0.0.0" to bind on any address. If binding on this IP address fails, the server will retry to bind on 0.0.0.0 and report the IP address from the config to the masterserver. This is useful for docker instances.
port	Main network port to connect to your server (UDP). Query port (UDP) is this port - 1. File port (TCP) is this port - 2.
password	Leave empty to disable.
timeout	Time in milliseconds after which an unresponsive player will be dropped. This should be between 10000 and 20000 milliseconds.
iplimit	Limit the amount of connections per IP. New connections exceeding that number are being dropped immediately.
vac	(Since 1.5.4) Enable Valve Anti Cheat. If enabled, VAC banned players won't be able to connect to your server. false by default.
masterlist	true to have your server made public in the server list. false otherwise. This only works if your server is reachable on the internet.
plugins	Array of plugins you want to load. These must be in the plugins folder.
packages	Array of packages you want to load.
dotnet_server_version	Override the dotnet version to use for the server. For example "5.0.7". For the specified version the corresponding folders must exist in the dotnet host and shared folders.
discord_client_id	A custom client id (application id) which will be set to Discord. Activates UpdateDiscordActivity. This id can be found here: https://discord.com/developers/applications
connect_screen_url	A custom web page or file to load while the player connects.
connect_screen_show_cursor	Whether to enable the cursor for connect screens. Useful for interactive loading screens.
sandbox	Whether to enable script security boundaries serverside. Turning this on will disallow certain things, for example loading compiled Lua scripts, usage of possible dangerous functions like file or OS functions. (Default: false)
dev_whitelist	Setting allow or disallow connecting to this server with the developer mode (-dev) enabled on the game. Use dev_whitelist_steamid to set allowed steam ids to connect with dev mode anyway. (Default: false)
dev_whitelist_steamid	Array of steam ids which are allowed to connect to this server with development mode enabled. Only works if dev_whitelist is set to true. Valid steam id formats are SteamId64 and SteamId3.
voice	Enable VoIP system.
voice_sample_rate	VoIP sample rate, higher rates have better quality but also require more bandwidth. Valid rates are: 8000, 12000, 16000, 24000 and 48000.
voice_spatialization	Makes the VoIP sound 3D including spatialization and falloff.
pools - distance	Each entity pool has a steaming range in which players can see the relevant entities. A pool is just a collection of a specific entity type. For a full 300 players a distance of 12000.0 is a good value. You can increase this value if your gamemode requires it. As the distance and the number of entities in a pool increase, the more likely it is to experience degraded server and client performance. A too low value can also be bad for the server performance.
pools - update_rate	The time that passes between the algorithm updates and potential streaming events are generated. This should be low for players but can be higher for less important entity types like text3d, doors etc. A number 0.05 means 50ms.
