Delete inactive players
Removes players who have not been online for a long time at server start.
scum.DeleteInactiveUsers=True
What does this setting do?
At startup the server clears player data unused for longer than the configured period. That is necessary: the database grows with every character, base and vehicle, and a server running for years otherwise becomes noticeably slow.
What is deleted is not just the record but the character and everything attached to it. Return after a year and you start over — and your base is gone.
The default is on, with a 180-day period. That is generous and well chosen.
Which value suits my server?
On, with a generous period.
On.
On.
What to watch out for
The player's character, progress and eventually orphaned bases go with it. A short period can catch regulars returning from holiday.
The cleanup happens during startup. On a server that has not restarted for months, nothing happens.
