=============================================================== WARNING: This mod was made for experienced admins of long running public dedicated servers with huge amount of players. It is not recommended to use this mod in any other case!

It is also recommended to read discussions before using this mod. ===============================================================

I hate to see how lag most old dedicated servers (1000+ days), and how admins are being forced to erase whole world and restart game only because of lags. That is why I publish this mod.

What it does

First, it periodically perform cleaning of the server. Cleaning deletes some items on the ground. You can specify maximum of each item type. Second, it allows for bird to steal small items, like gold nugget (everyone knows that crows like shiny objects).

With these two features you will never have tons of spider silk or millions of spiders or beefalos on your server (wich causes a lot of lags).

With this mod you can have 1000+ days dedicated server without any lags (as I did).

Item list

Full list of items see in discussion.

Recomendations

To reach the best result, it is also highly recommended to: 1. Add foodie mod (allows some items to spoil slowly, including grass, silk, etc) 2. Add No walls mod 3. Add More drops mod, but set minimum amount of trees, grass, boulders 4. Turn off frog rain 5. Set maximum amount of birds (they will eat a lot of items from the ground)

UPDATES

1. Fixed compatability issue with moderator commands mod 2. Added ability to show additional warning message about cleaning 3. Made it possible to run cleaning immediately using console: TheWorld.Clean()

Idea of stealing birds belongs to Star
