Which modes the matchmaking queue will actually serve. A request for a mode that's turned off routes back to the tutorial — the always-available fallback (it can't be disabled). Takes effect on the next match formed.

Worker machines this control plane places matches on. Match-hosts self-register on startup and heartbeat their load; you can also pin one manually by IP/URL — e.g. http://192.168.0.51:8080. Allocation prefers online, least-loaded hosts (closest region once you run more than one).

What every newly created account starts with on first login — funds, owned survivors, and starting weapons. Applies to the next account created; existing accounts are unchanged (edit those in Survivor Accounts below).
