Garry's Mod Game Server
Garry's Mod load depends on the gamemode, Lua scripts, addon collection, map assets, and entities created by players.

Evaluate CPU, memory, and storage options against the expected game workload.
Player load
How player count affects resources
More players can add props, vehicles, networked variables, and gamemode events; align entity limits with the slot target.
-
Single-core strength
Measure processor peaks and game-loop response during a busy session.
-
RAM
Track peak memory use together with growth headroom.
-
NVMe storage
Measure storage behaviour across saves, logs, and backups.
-
Mod and script density
Measure actual mod, plugin, and script workload separately from extension count.
-
World / map size
Track world size, active regions, and persistent-data growth together.
-
Player scenario
Evaluate concurrent-player distribution, activity, and content workload together.
Detailed planning notes
| Scenario | Resource effect | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Concurrent players | More players can add props, vehicles, networked variables, and gamemode events; align entity limits with the slot target. | Measure a busy session |
| Game activity | Sandbox entities, physics props, and frequent Lua hooks produce different patterns in roleplay and minigame servers. | Repeat the peak scenario |
| World / save growth | ULX data, roleplay databases, logs, and Workshop caches grow; plan database care and file rotation separately. | Track save and restore duration |
CAPACITY ESTIMATE

Estimate starting capacity from your player and world goals.
Capacity summary
Estimated CPU, memory, storage, and a suitable resource profile appear here.
Mod / plugin level
Mods, plugins, and additional content
Workshop collections, mounted content, and Lua dependencies affect startup and client downloads; isolate broken addons from logs.
Mod compatibility can vary by game and server-software release.
Administration
Administration and server settings
Manage gamemode, Lua error policy, prop and vehicle limits, Workshop collection, FastDL scope, and permissions together.
Installation and management
After deployment, manage Garry's Mod processes, version changes, and settings that require restarts in controlled maintenance windows.
Backups
Back up Garry's Mod saves, configuration, and additional-content data as separate restore points before changes.
File access
Limit file access to Garry's Mod configuration, logs, and managed content directories; stop the relevant process before replacing active files.
Frequently asked questions
Garry's Mod
How should I compare plans for sandbox and roleplay?
Define the gamemode, allowed prop and vehicle use, and Workshop collection together. Measure busy physics activity separately from script or database-heavy play; player count alone does not establish one resource requirement.
Is more RAM enough to raise the prop limit?
Watch the CPU cost of physics and frequent Lua hooks as well. Measure a busy scene instead of treating RAM capacity as permission for unlimited objects.
Why does a Workshop collection not establish a ready installation?
Mount requirements, Lua dependencies and player downloads still need to be resolved. Check startup logs and joining from a clean client; missing addons are not necessarily a resource shortage.
What should I investigate before upgrading a slow server?
Check broken addons, recurring Lua errors and unnecessary logs. Track the roleplay database separately from Workshop files, then choose resources for any measured CPU, memory or storage constraint that remains.
Which data should be kept together when changing gamemode?
Retain permission or ULX data, the relevant roleplay database and addon versions with the working settings. Test access and content downloads for the new mode and verify a way back to the previous setup.
