 ====== Restarts ======
-The Torque Tycoon server restarts every four hours at **00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00 server time (UTC +2)**. A restart normally takes about ten minutes. Warnings appear 30, 15, 5 and 1 minutes before shutdown; ''-timeleft'' in DCS chat shows the current countdown.
+A **restart** puts the Torque Tycoon server into a fresh mission every four hours, at **00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00 server time (UTC +2)**. A restart normally takes about ten minutes. Warnings appear 30, 15, 5 and 1 minutes before shutdown; ''-timeleft'' in DCS chat shows the current countdown. A pilot who joins the server reads the time to the next restart a few seconds after the welcome message.
 Land and unload before shutdown. Cargo still in the air has not completed its delivery. The persistent economy, site state and crates on the ground are restored into the next mission, while staged pad crates at Sources are cleaned up as part of the Source restart behavior.

 ===== Crates on the Ground =====
-A crate left lying on the ground survives **one** restart. That covers every crate not in an aircraft and not yet delivered: cargo set down away from a delivery point, Food refused by a full Settlement and crates dropped at a crash site. Unload just before the shutdown and the crates are waiting where you left them after the restart. A crate that is still on the ground at the restart after that is lost.
+A crate left lying on the ground survives **one** restart. That covers every crate not in an aircraft and not yet delivered: cargo set down with **Drop loaded** and not yet delivered or stored, Food refused by a full Settlement, project cargo a Settlement did not need, crates refused by a full airfield storage and crates dropped at a crash site. Unload just before the shutdown and the crates are waiting where you left them after the restart. A crate that is still on the ground at the restart after that is lost. Stored crates are not on the ground and do not expire.
 The allowance belongs to the crate, not to the place it lies: picking a crate up and setting it down again does not renew it. Only the scheduled restarts above count; an unplanned restart after a server crash does not.
