I asked this in the discord earlier but I think it would make more sense to discuss this here. What is the effective maximum player count for a dedicated server? What optimisations can be done in the server config to help optimise server performance for higher player numbers? Have the developers said anything about achieving high player numbers on servers or do they have any plans on developing further into. I only am asking because I am interested in hosting a server with high player counts and want to know what course of action I should take.
