SCUM Easy AdminLower bound of the server tick rate
How often per second the server computes at minimum.
scum.MinServerTickRate=5
What does this setting do?
The tick rate is the server's heartbeat: how many times per second it recalculates the game state. Under heavy load it may drop as far as this value.
The default of 5 sounds low but is deliberate: under overload the server should slow down rather than crash. Raise the lower bound and you remove that escape route — it then tries to hold a rate it cannot manage and responds with stutter and disconnects instead of smooth slowdown.
Raising this value does not make a server faster. For smoother play you have to reduce load: fewer vehicles, fewer loose items, fewer simultaneous enemies.
Which value suits my server?

What to watch out for
Under overload the server cannot deliver the demanded rate and produces hitches instead. The lower bound is a safety net, not a performance dial.
