Check the settings of my game server before it goes live

A game server starts fine with a typo in its settings and then fails strangely under load, or two servers fight for one door and only one works. Settings from the environment arrive as text, which makes it worse. Here is a checker that lists every problem at once with the instance it belongs to.

Why this works

Settings arrive as loose text, and a wrong one often looks fine until the busiest hour. Reading every value strictly and listing all problems together moves the failure to the quiet moment before launch, when fixing it costs nothing.

When not to use it

Skip it for a server you run once on your own machine for a quick test, where a typo shows at once. Also, do not make the checker the only guard: a setting can pass every rule and still be wrong for your game.
