Server crashed many times

I bought this because I liked the design. However my server suffered random crashes and huge lag spikes after using this Outpost. We removed the Outpost (which forced a wipe on our players now it runs fine without it. We put this outpost on a test server with no plugins and it caused lag and crashes.

Hi Bella, can you tell me how you're hosting your servers,

is it managed ( i.e commonly Pinehosting) or a dedicated server (unmanaged, and way better for performance with large populations)?|
Something to keep in mind, even on official servers, outpost in general has been causing frame issues. Not using this as an excuse,
its just something that has been around for ages and Facepunch refuses to fix.
 

I've personally used my build on both a managed and a dedicated machine.
That was maybe 5 months ago when I had ran a server.

I know when I used it had Frame rate issue because of the high prefab count, and I removed a lot of stuff for optimization but when I changed it,
it lost its look. I can revisit my optimized version and send it to you in a DM pro bono. If you'd like, as well I will be doing some test shortly. Maybe there are 
broken prefabs somewhere that broken in these recent months.

TLDR, I'm make some changes using the the file here on Codefling, currently sitting around ~2500 prefabs, and I think i can get it down to ~1500, give me until Monday June 1st 2026, If I am unable to complete this task by that date, I have no problem issuing you a refund. But please allow me time to attempt to remedy this for you. 

Can you please tell me if you're using a shared machine like from pine hosting, psygun, or any other non-dedicated services?
if you're using a shard machine, this most likely would be the root of the cause to the crashes as commonly there is my guess another 10 people on that server, using it for whatever. which will cause crashes in my past experience using shared machines, and on top of that, all the DDOS they have going on, severally affects the performance and stability of their shared machines. 

When I switched to a dedicated machine through pine hosting, I saw a great increase to server performance and stability and no longer was subject to their DDOS attacks. however it came at a financials cost i think i was paying almost $200 per month, which just isnt worth it in my option unless you're making $2000 per month in sales from the server, so i switched to my personal computer to host for a little before closing my server down. 

My Tests:

Not Loadded into the server, just watching console, 
WITHOUT my outpost + PROC gen - avg. ~ 200 FPS 96 GC (no players, no player buildings.)

WITH my outpost + PROC gen - avg. ~ 180 FPS 96 GC (no players, no player buildings.)

Loaded into the server and "playing"

when loaded into the server, and I am in outpost, I get 35 frames per second, but thats with lower graphic settings changed. so higher graphic settings could be much worse IDK

I am using my personal computer that is a few years old and outdated hardware, to test this
My system specs are 

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

Motherboard - ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING

Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900 CPU @ 3.10GHz, 3096 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s) (overclocked to : 4.5 GHz)

Ram 32 gb @ 4300 MHz (according to CPU-z)

1 TB SSD storage

Made some changes, got it down to ~1800 prefabs. up to 40 fps during the day, jumps up to 50 fps during night now on my PC, will touch back on this tomorrow. the core look of it hasn't changed, but removed a lot of the world models of the weapon stuff. remove lanterns, candles
