I want to do some light maintenence of my mod (using game object) once on every game load, so I do this by subscribing to on_tick and then unsubscribing in it's handler.

Is this the recommended method? Are there any pitfalls I need to look out for? Particularly wrt to multiplayer?

Cheers

You shouldn't really be doing things on game load, other than setting up metatable and things

What are you doing on load?

Subscribing to events on load is a very typical way to causing desyncs

Current intent is to close all mod guis that are saved open, remove custom selection-tool from hand, enable personal roboport and such things to give a clean start on resuming play.

These things will definitely cause a desync

Thanks for advice.
