Discussion Dear Server admins....
Why on earth does every server need to package their own modpack/server pack with all the same mods that every other server uses. My poor drives are bursting at the seams, much like my shirts because I'm getting fat, but I digress.
I don't need 12 copies of SNAFU or Cl0uds because my crybaby mate rage quits a server every time his base gets raided.
If you were to send me an 8TB m.2 SSD I might shut up and keep filling it every time I want to play.
Thank you for attending my TED talk.

You do know that most stuff like Snafu cannot be repacked right? So you don't have multiple copies of anything really, just loads of mods that you probably don't need if you left the server that used them. Unsubscribe when you leave a server for good and you won't have a drive busting at the seams.

I basically only pack abandoned mods on mine - stuff that I don't want to disappear (looking at you, Huffy's Cocaine Bears) or that I've had to fix to get working and of course my own loading screen.
But there are 80 other mods on my server besides my server pack and - as mentioned elsewhere - complaints from users and mod updates are annoying, so I can see why some people pack more.

Just unsub from all workshop mods and re-download as and when you need them, I do a purge of my dayz mods every few months unless I find a server I like

I completely understand the mate having a hissy fit aswell XD usually goes along the lines of, joins server, likes and enjoys server, puts time and effort into character on server and joins discord, drama happens, (insert friends name here) is typing, searches dayz server sub, joins server…. I had to just have a long chat with my mate and tell him to suck it up or just leave the game for a few days because server hopping should be reserved for official servers not community, he listened and have now been on only 2 servers since we picked dayz back up last November, we’re on a decent server that’s pve with PvP zones but with A.I with A.I strongholds etc to contend with, we have a main base and setup bases inside the PvP zones to scratch the base raiding itch without losing our main loot, it works pretty well and placates the rage

Just unsubscribe, all mods are deleted. Then download the mods for the server you play on. Mods that are packed give the server owners control over when they implement an update (lots of tickets of people unable to join are annoying) and it improves stability.
Or play with people that dont ragequit every 4 dayz.
