Appendix CAbout this server, in its own words

Skippy’s Test Lab This is where I mess around with custom plugins, test weird ideas, build stuff, break stuff, and see what actually works. Expect custom systems, experiments, events, map changes, and the occasional “well… that wasn’t supposed to happen.” It’s a laid-back place to explore, mess around, help test things, and see what we can make Rust do. Things may change without warning — that’s kinda the point. Come poke around. Weird ideas welcome.
