Adding and removing admins on an Astroneer server maintains a positive and well-managed gaming environment. Adding admins is pivotal in ensuring fair play, resolving conflicts, and maintaining server stability. Conversely, removing admins may be necessary to address issues like abuse of power or conflicts of interest. It's essential to have a transparent and accountable administration team to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players. Admins must uphold the server's rules and community standards, and their actions should be in the best interest of the player base.
