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 incorporates a set of chat commands designed to empower administrators with enhanced control and management capabilities over their servers. These commands streamline administrative tasks and grant greater flexibility in customizing server settings and moderating player interactions.
