Ground Cleaning

Clean up your map. Remove trees, bushes, rocks, grass — and now scattered world clutter — directly in-game, with full persistence.

Overview

Ground Cleaning lets server admins and players tidy up the world without touching the map files. Using ordinary tools, you can permanently remove unwanted environment objects from the terrain. Every removal is saved server-side and re-applied automatically after a restart, so the world stays exactly the way you cleaned it.

The headline feature: a placeable cleaning zone that not only clears grass, but also sweeps away configurable world clutter — garbage piles, camp tables and chairs, wrecks, and anything else you define by keyword.

Features

• Remove trees (standing and fallen) and bushes with any axe
• Remove rocks and bushes with a shovel
• Clear grass over a 6x6 area with the farming hoe
• Sweep world clutter inside the cleaning zone — keyword based, fully configurable
• Persistent — removed objects stay gone across server restarts
• Configurable respawn timers per category (trees, rocks, grass, clutter)
• JSON configuration — keywords, radius, timers and log level, all editable
• Lightweight & quiet — coalesced disk saves, no log spam in production
• Territory restriction — limit cleaning/weeding to an area around a placed mast instead of anywhere. Weeding and cleaning are toggled separately (m_RestrictWeedToMast, m_RestrictCleanToMast).
• Configurable zone radius — m_MastZoneRadius (default 150 m) and mast classes m_MastClasses (default TerritoryFlag).
• Admin bypass — m_AdminSteamIDs is now used: admins ignore the restrictions and can act anywhere.
• Configurable tools per action — m_WeedTools / m_CleanTools (any tool, e.g. a broom).
• Configurable action duration — set how long weeding and cleaning take to perform, separately (m_WeedDurationSeconds / m_CleanDurationSeconds).

Axes (Hatchet, Wood Axe, Firefighter Axe)

• Remove standing trees, fallen trees and bushes

Shovel

Clutter Removal

The cleaning zone scans a radius around its center and removes any object whose model matches one of your keywords. Defaults target the most common map clutter:

• table — camp tables
• chair — camp chairs
• pile / garbage — garbage piles and debris
• wreck — vehicle and object wrecks

Add your own keywords at any time. Players, AI, loot, vehicles and player-built structures are always protected and never removed.

Notes & Limitations

• Only standalone world objects can be removed. Furniture baked as proxies inside a building's model is part of the building and cannot be removed individually.
• Removals are server-authoritative and saved automatically; a clean server shutdown always flushes the latest state.
