Adding admins to your Rust server

Admins on a Rust server can use admin commands in game: keep the server clean of players who break your rules, but also teleport, spawn items and more. A full list of Rust server commands is on the Rust wiki.

Changing the name of your Rust server

The name players see in the Rust server browser is the Server name setting (server.hostname) in your server's server.cfg.

Connecting to your Rust server

There are several ways to join your Rust server. All of them start in the Fragnet dashboard.

Adding header image and description for your Rust server

When players select your server in the Rust server browser, they see its header image and description. Use them to show what your server is about before anyone joins.

Installing Oxide and uMod plugins for your Rust server

Plugins add features to your Rust server, such as kits, teleports, gather rates or admin tools. Most Rust plugins are published on uMod and need a modding framework to run: Oxide (uMod) or Carbon. You manage both on the Plugins tab of your server.

Installing RustIO on your RUST server

Install the Rust:IO live map extension on your Rust server from the Files tab.

Loading custom map on your Rust server

Besides Rust's procedural maps, your server can run a custom map. You can find custom maps on sites such as RustMaps. The server downloads the map from a link when it starts, so the map file must be online first.

Primitive Game Mode

What is the Primitive Game Mode?

Pairing your Rust server with Rust+ app

Rust+ is Facepunch's companion app. Once paired, your phone shows the map, team chat and alarms of your Rust server. Your server needs no setup for it: players pair it in game.

Wiping your Rust server

Many Rust communities reset their world on a fixed cycle, for example every week, every two weeks or every month, to keep the server fresh. You can wipe right away or schedule wipes on the Wipes tab of your server in the Fragnet dashboard.
