I'd planned to set up my own server at home like a bunch of other folks. Probably play hosting on my machine to start while I work to get the tweaks done on a separate server... Will we be able to export the DB etc from one server to another?

How much "Customization" will be supported via dedicated servers? Will dedicated server be vanilla experience with a custom name and "admin" controls? Or will we be able to tweak some of the server settings to create an altered vanilla experience? Thank you.
Edit: This post isn't a request for tweaking the game files, mostly what would be offered via host provider. I can wait patiently for the potential mod support down the road 😉

Will the server port(s) be configurable? ANSWER: yes

If possible, can the server console be made to work over stdin and stdout? This will make integration with game server panels much more straightforward
