Rust server guides.
Tested, not copied.
Every page here was checked on a real Rust server we ran, or against Facepunch’s own documentation, and says which on the page. Where we haven’t tested something yet, the page says that too.
Guides
- // guide · server browserRust server tags. The full list.
Every Rust server browser tag with its compressed code, the one-per-group rule, the four-tag display limit, and how many players the servers using each tag actually have, from a census of all 11,502 public Rust servers.
- // guide · wipingWipe a Rust server. The exact files.
The exact files a map wipe and a blueprint wipe delete on a Rust server, why bases sometimes survive a wipe (.sav.1, .sav.2 and -wal files), and what never gets wiped. Performed by hand on a live test server.
- // guide · force wipeForce wipe night. The owner’s checklist.
When the next Rust force wipe is (first Thursday of the month, 19:00 London), what it does to your server, and a before, during and after checklist for server owners: backups, framework updates, blueprints, tags and the wipe timer.
