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

  1. Run saveworld before a scheduled restart.
  2. Warn players and stop heavy activity before shutdown.
  3. Check logs for repeating errors or mod exceptions.
