Entity Hotspot Scanner

Short description: Find dense Rust map grids and investigate entity-heavy areas without deleting anything.

Player complaints about lag near a compound or monument can be hard to investigate. Entity Hotspot Scanner provides a quick, read-only map-wide view of where entities are concentrated.

Features

• Scan entities incrementally over server frames instead of iterating the entire realm at once.
• Rank density by configurable map-grid cells.
• Break counts into broad groups such as turrets, traps, building pieces, loot containers and deployables.
• Show the approximate cell center and record whether ownership is set.
• Export the top cells and their common prefab names in JSON.
• Rate-limit repeated scans and mark interrupted scans as partial.

Commands

• /hotspots scan — start a scan.
• /hotspots top — show top ten cells.
• /hotspots status — show scan progress.
• /hotspots export — export JSON.
• RCON: hotspots.scan, hotspots.top, hotspots.export.

Requirements

Oxide/uMod for Rust.

Notes

High entity density does not prove high CPU cost or identify a network disconnect cause. Prefab categories are best-effort heuristics. No entities are moved, removed or changed.
