You can pause world simulation when no players are connected, or leave it running so time continues to pass between sessions.
- Stop the server and open Configuration Files.
- Click Text Editor beside
MedievalEngineers-Dedicated.cfg.
- Set
PauseGameWhenEmptytotrueto pause an empty server, orfalseto keep simulation running. - Click Save & Exit and start the server.
<PauseGameWhenEmpty>true</PauseGameWhenEmpty>
Pausing is useful when a small group wants the world to progress only while somebody is playing. Leave it disabled when unattended systems or the passage of time need to continue.
