Add in server features to tune down the server when there's no one online

[Unmaykr]

Currently it seems the server saves every 5 minutes even when no one is in the server and it's not progressing in any way. There could be an option to either turn this off or do 3 saves and then stop everything and keep the server alive but quiet until someone joins.

Yeah, I noticed that my server is always using like 2gb of ram even when nobody is on it.
