Disabling Standby Mode on a Vintage Story server allows the server to initialize and run immediately upon startup without waiting for a player to trigger the loading process. This ensures that background world simulations, such as the passage of time and seasonal shifts, begin instantly to maintain a consistent environment. By bypassing this gate, server administrators can ensure their world is fully operational and synchronized for everyone the moment the host machine is powered on.
Note: Standby mode is enabled by default. A user must connect to the server to fully start the world. Learn how to join here.
