Update 8's switch to UE5 and multiplayer improvements have removed the large RAM requirements. New bare minimum numbers are based on a new world save and a lightly progressed save. Recommended numbers are based on an end-game save.
Egg:
- Reverted the startup command so that the game port is the primary port and QUERY_PORT is the Server Query Port. I honestly think it will be confusing either way, so it's a wash for me; but ultimately, if Ptero calls the primary port the "Game Port" in Allocation Management, it should be Satisfactory's "game" port.
- Added the capability to override the server's default max players of 4. This consists of a new variable, default config file creation during install (because the server doesn't auto-create it), and a Configuration Files replacement on boot to accommodate variable changes.
- Reverted Game Port variable to Server Query Port variable.
- Changed port rules to use the more intuitive `between` rule.
README:
- Added Zarklord as a contributor.
- Added Max Players as an Egg Capability.
- Rewrote the Server Ports section (again) to accommodate the egg change and be as clear as possible.
- Added warning about stopping the server and saves.
- Added note to Minimum RAM Requirement that large saves can also cause excessive RAM usage.
- Updated Console Commands section with newly published Wiki information.
- Updated `steamclient.so` Wiki reference link (which will probably break again soon because the Wiki is being changed almost every hour now).

Egg:
- Changed the startup command to call the binary directly to avoid end-users changing the provided bash file to run whatever they'd like.
- Changed the install script to check that the server successfully installed, and makes the server binary executable. Also added Software-Noob as a contributor.
- Fixed the startup command to support custom ports. The SERVER_PORT variable is now tied to the Server Query Port (because that is what clients use to connect to the server). The GAME_PORT variable was added for the Game Port. Also changed the Game Port to use the correct flag.
- Changed the Server Query Port variable to be the Game Port and provided a better description.
- Updated the Beacon Port description to be more accurate. Also unlocked it's restriction to port 15000 because it can be changed now.
README:
- Updated any text mentioning restricted ports to text explaining their configuration. Also used clearer verbiage for the port table.
- Added Software-Noob as a contributor.
- Added info on "initializing"/"claiming" a server.
- Added info on the command line.
- Added "SDL" warning as a warning to safely ignore.
- Mentioned only one server can be run on Ptero due to the port limitation.
- Added mention that external ports must match internal ports (because the game client only looks for port 7777 at the moment)
- Fixed misinformation of required ports and made it clear that the default ports are currently required to be used for the server to work.
- Fixed typos.
- Updated the recommended RAM amount, based off an update to the developer's wiki made today.
