+### Game Server Startup Script Audit & Optimization
+**Status:** New — identified Feb 13, 2026  
+**Priority:** MEDIUM (recurring issue source)  
+**Scope:** All 12 game servers (6 TX1, 6 NC1)
+
+**The Problem:** Multiple issues have traced back to startup scripts. These need a systematic audit and optimization pass to prevent recurring problems.
+
+**Plan:**
+1. Pull and review every game server startup script via Pterodactyl panel
+2. Identify common issues (memory allocation, JVM flags, mod loading order, timeout settings)
+3. Establish a baseline "good" startup template per modpack type
+4. Optimize each server's startup script individually
+5. Document the optimized scripts in the repo (new file: `docs/reference/game-server-startups.md`)
+6. Test each server after changes
+7. Monitor via Uptime Kuma for stability post-optimization
+
+**Servers to audit:**
+- **TX1 Dallas:** Stoneblock 4, Reclamation, Society: Sunlit Valley, Vanilla 1.21.11, All The Mons, FoundryVTT
+- **NC1 Charlotte:** The Ember Project, Minecolonies: Create and Conquer, All The Mods 10, EMC Subterra Tech, Homestead, Hytale
+
+**Notes:** This is hands-on work — needs a session where Michael can access the panel and we review together.
