About

This command controls how often a Mek's upkeep system recalculates and applies its maintenance costs. The interval is measured in seconds.

Use this to speed up or slow down upkeep tick frequency on your server. Lowering the value makes upkeep drain resources more frequently; raising it does the opposite. The default behavior checks upkeep every 60 seconds.
