Server Stuck Saving World
Tags: saving, shutdown, troubleshooting, server
If the server hangs at Saving World, the save is either too large, the disk is slow, or a mod is blocking the save routine.
Stabilize the save
- Wait for the save to finish before forcing a shutdown.
- Move saves to SSD storage and ensure free disk space.
- Reduce world size or remove heavy asset mods.
Pre-save checklist
- Run
saveworld before a scheduled restart.
- Warn players and stop heavy activity before shutdown.
- Check logs for repeating errors or mod exceptions.
