Open the server folder
Choose the folder that holds your server files as the working folder, so the file tools stay inside it.

Rust Modded Server Workflow: Tune server.cfg
03
Tune a server.cfg from an empty folder
You have a server folder and want a clean server.cfg with a name, a description and a player limit. PrimeCircuit reads the folder, writes the file and adds nothing else. Each step is a card. Four steps lead from the empty folder to a config you test on your own server.
Describe the settings
Say the name, player limit and map size you want. Pick Ask first so every write waits for you.
Read each diff
Check the card and the diff: each console variable, its value and the file that changes. Accept or reject.
Test on your server
Start your own test server with your usual launch script, join it and read the console for errors.
The result in server.cfg
Write a server.cfg for a 100 slot modded survival server.

Two tutorials for a beginner who runs a server
Set up a low pop 2x monthly server
A small community can run a low pop 2x monthly server with a short config and 1 or 2 plugins. Ask PrimeCircuit to write server.cfg with write_file, then to find the gather setting in the plugin's JSON config with grep and set it to 2 with edit_file. Back up the folder first. The agent shows each change as a diff in Ask first mode. Accept them one by one, start your test server, join it and check that the console shows no plugin errors.
Plan a weekly wipe with 5x rates and a few mods
Some servers run a weekly wipe with 5x rates and a few mods, and the routine repeats every week. Ask PrimeCircuit in Plan only mode to write a checklist: which data files to copy, which values to reset, which plugins to reload. It uses list_dir and read_file to build the list from your real folder. Save the list, then run it in Ask first mode after the next wipe. Read every diff, then test the server before players join. Nothing goes live untested.
