Description
Each time i restart the server, the server.ini file is recreated and losses any edits I had made. I have made a new start parameters override in avserver.cfg but this is limited to what can be passed.
For example, I cannot set collisiondamage = 0 as when i edit in server.ini and then restart the server, the value is overridden back to the default of 1. Same with server password and server name etc.
I am probably doing something wrong, but I cant currently see how to set and ensure they are kept, any server settings you can't pass through on the start parameters.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the restart with the shown avserver.cfg startparameters and inspect /home/avserver/serverfiles/galaxy/avserver/server.ini before and after restarting. Determine whether LinuxGSM or Avorion recreates the file and how settings such as collisiondamage, password, and server name are expected to be configured; done means a confirmed cause and a documented configuration path or focused fix.
