Summary
Torch plugins are akin to software add-ons for Space Engineers servers, resembling mods in their ability to introduce new features and functionalities. However, they differ from mods in a significant way: plugins don't require a whitelist and operate exclusively on the server side without any impact on the client-side experience. This distinction gives Torch plugins the advantage of executing various actions that mods cannot achieve, providing server administrators with a broader array of options for customizing gameplay and server behavior. Torch thoroughly reviews all plugins uploaded to its website, ensuring they meet quality and security standards.
