    Hello, Lately I have been getting large lag spikes in my Rust server. I've owned this server for almost 8 months now and never got lag this bad. I host the server with BlueFangSolutions. I have already tried restarting server and validating files. It has an average of 20-30 people on at a time.
    I have the following plugins installed-

    Listing 38 plugins:
    Could any of these cause massive lag?

    If I were experiencing latency on your server I would probably start by unloading..
    1. ZLevels
    2. Vanish
    3. NoDecay
    4. InfoPanel
    5. Hitmarker GUI
    6. BetterLoot
    7. Quick Sort
    Obviously, you can reload them when the lag issues are fixed.

    The biggest issue you have is NoDecay. The plugin itself isn't bad, but disabling decay will ensure you reach the entity limit (even on a moderately populated server) very quickly. Players might complain about having to repair stuff, but they'll complain even more about lag and sudden unplanned wipes due to the entity limit.

    Yeah I've added decay to wood and twig and still at 300k entities from wipe on Thursday when update was released. If smaller server I would leave decay and or gather rate all depends

    I suggest delete decay and leave decay to default of rust, and use plugin handyman, people will not get so much "cancer" from reparing so much things, also you will fight with lazynes of players in modded rust community ;)
