Restricting content to enabled expansions
Enabling or disabling an expansion toggle alone does not prevent all out-of-era content from appearing. For a stricter presentation, setRESTRICT_CONTENT = 1 in settings/main.lua:
RESTRICT_CONTENT is enabled, content tagged in the SQL files with a content_tag value corresponding to a disabled expansion is not loaded. This produces a cleaner, less confusing experience for players on era-focused servers.
See Content restrictions for a full explanation of how RESTRICT_CONTENT and content_tag work together.
