How To Schedule Restarts On Your StarRupture Server

Set up automatic daily restarts for your StarRupture dedicated server to maintain performance and stability.

Regular restarts help keep your StarRupture server running smoothly by clearing memory and refreshing the game state. Here's how to set up automatic restarts.

Creating a Restart Schedule

Open Schedules

Access the XGamingServer Panel and select your server. In the sidebar, go to Schedules.

Create a New Schedule

Click Create Schedule and give it a name like "Daily Restart".

Set the Time

Configure when the restart should happen. A common schedule is once daily during off-peak hours (e.g., 4:00 AM).

Add a Power Action

Add a task to the schedule and select Restart Server as the action.

Save the Schedule

Save your schedule. The server will now automatically restart at the configured time.

Recommended Restart Frequency

Server Usage	Recommended Schedule
Light (1-2 players, small base)	Every 24 hours
Medium (3-4 players, growing factory)	Every 12 hours
Heavy (large factory, frequent play)	Every 6-8 hours

💡 Tip: Late-game StarRupture servers with large factories benefit from more frequent restarts. If you notice increasing lag over time, try restarting more often.

📝 Note: Players connected during a restart will be disconnected briefly. They can rejoin once the server finishes restarting, which usually takes 1-2 minutes.
