Torch is fundamentally a Server Manager offering a comprehensive framework tailored to simplify the tasks of server owners and administrators as they oversee their servers in the Space Engineers gaming environment. This platform includes a set of chat commands that empower administrators with enhanced control and management of their servers. These commands streamline administrative tasks and grant greater flexibility in customizing server settings and moderating player interactions.
