Substance

The window to join Substance is 12:00–18:00 UTC, when it averages 11 concurrent players — well clear of its 5-player round-the-clock average. It bites hardest at 14:00 UTC, averaging 15. Outside it the city empties: across 18:00–08:00 UTC it averages just 2 players, bottoming out at 00:00 UTC on 1, so an off-peak login means an all-but-empty server.

You can walk straight in: when anyone is on it, it averages 6 players against 64 slots (9% full), and even its busiest moment of the week, 28 players, left 56% of the server free. It is thinning, though: it averaged 5 players across 18 Jul–20 Jul, down 29% on the 6 it averaged across 14 Jul–16 Jul.

That puts Substance ahead of 94% of the 42,230 FiveM servers ViceHub tracked consistently this week, ranked on peak concurrent players. That is measured from our own five-minute checks, not from anything the server claims about itself.

Under the hood Substance runs Qbox with 163 resources loaded — a substantial build, using pma-voice for voice and ox_inventory for inventory.
