Summary
Lightweight, fully event-driven cleanup of corpses, vehicle wrecks, dropped items, grenades and abandoned vehicles — configurable entirely in-game, no server restart needed.
Official Workshop description
GSC X TWS Garbage Collector
A lightweight, performance-friendly battlefield cleanup system. No periodic world scans, no polling — everything is triggered by actual game events (death, destruction, item drop), so the cost is zero while nothing is happening.
WHAT IT CLEANS
• Corpses — dead characters, after a configurable lifetime
• Vehicle wrecks — destroyed vehicles, after a configurable lifetime
• Dropped items — loose weapons/gear on the ground, after a configurable lifetime
• Grenades & smokes — removed only after a safety delay long enough for them to detonate or burn out, never touched while still active
• Empty magazines — deleted instantly on drop, regardless of location
• Abandoned vehicles — intact vehicles with nobody inside for a configurable duration (Conflict/Campaign only)
SAFETY & CONFIGURATION
• Everything is configurable live in-game via Editor → Scenario Properties → "GSC Garbage Collector" tab — no need to edit files or restart the server for most changes
• Settings persist across mission changes and full server restarts (saved to a JSON config file)
• A configurable minimum distance keeps anything from disappearing right in front of a player
• Items dropped at a faction's main base are cleaned up instantly, since that area sees constant traffic
• A prefab whitelist (edited via the JSON config, viewable in-game) permanently protects specific items/vehicles from ever being removed — useful for event vehicles, quest items, etc.
PERFORMANCE
Discovery and cleanup timing are both event-driven: each entity gets its own precise, one-shot removal timer set exactly to its configured lifetime. The only thing that runs periodically is the "abandoned vehicle" check (since that's a state, not a discrete event), and even that only sweeps a lightweight vehicle registry every few minutes.
COMPATIBILITY
Works with any game mode. The main-base and abandoned-vehicle features are Conflict/Campaign-specific and simply stay inactive on other game modes — no errors, no side effects.
