DayZ: preparing Workshop mods and persistence
DayZ should be prepared around map, Workshop mods, persistence and real peak-hour population.
1 min read
DayZ needs a cautious approach: map, Workshop mods, events and persistence can transform the real need compared with a standard server.
The modlist changes everything
Items, economy, vehicles, zones and scripts modify server load. A modlist must be stable, versioned and tested before opening.
Persistence must be protected
Backups and restores are central to avoid losing community progression. You need to know what is backed up and how rollback works.
When to ask for scoping
If the server targets a public community, many mods or a specific map, scoping before the order avoids starting on a standard plan that is too tight.
