Getting started
Bring your world
Already playing somewhere else? Upload your saves and files as a .zip and we add them to Rust's files, with a backup first.
More details
Stop the server first, then use World in the Settings tab. Files with the same name are replaced and nothing else is deleted. You can download your world as a backup file any time.
How your friends join
Copy your server's address from the server page once it says Running.
In Rust, press F1 to open the console.
Type client.connect followed by the address, for example client.connect 203.0.113.10:28015.
More details
Default port 28015. The address on the server page already has the right one.
Questions about Rust servers
How much memory does Rust need?
8 GB to start, and 12 GB is best.
More details
Larger maps and more players need more.
Can I change the map size?
Yes, anything from 1000 to 6000.
More details
A new size generates a new map, so change it before your players settle in.
Can I use plugins?
Not yet. Rust servers run without plugins for now.
More details
Oxide (uMod) isn't installed.
Why does the first start take a while?
Because Rust makes your map first. Larger sizes take several minutes.
Is the map backed up?
Yes, every day, and you can make one yourself whenever you want.
More details
The server saves just before each backup. Restore any backup from the server page. Backups don't use your server's disk.
