How to create your own server in the new rust. Creating a Rust mod server on your computer

So, the site has some great stuff on the web. But it only devotes a couple of lines to launching and configuring the server.
I will try to help users who would like to play on their local server with friends and with your own settings. In this short article I will try to show the whole process: from installing the server to configuring it, including using mods.

1. The first thing we need is to switch to running Rust over the network and download archive containing all the necessary tools and unpack it to any location.

2. Now let's move on to installation. Run the file Update-Rust-Server.bat from folder SteamCMD and wait while our server downloads. Servers will be loaded into the RustServer folder.

That's it, we have installed the server, let's move on to the next steps.

3. Now we will start the server, customize it and invite friends. In order to connect to the created server, perform the following steps:

Let's go to the folder SteamCMD and run the file Run-Rust-Server.bat(His, not Rust_server). To start the experimental Rust server, run the file Run-Rust-Exp-Server.bat
- After launch, the command line will contain lines with information about the download, wait until the message appears "server initialized".
- That's it, the server is working.
- Now, in order to access the server, we need to find out the address of our server. Classic option -
- Write down your IP somewhere in a text file (so as not to forget).
- Next, launch the game and press the F1 key (console) and enter the command net.connect Your ip: 28015 (where Your ip is your ip, which you found out in advance). In theory, this should be 127.0.0.1.

If everything is done correctly, you will be connected to your server. In order for friends to be able to connect to you, it is necessary, of course, that the server be running on your computer, and that your friends correctly enter the connection command that you tell them.
Now you can start playing. BUT! In some cases, the correct execution of all actions cannot guarantee your success. Because there are a lot of reasons why you might not succeed. Solutions to the most common problems are written in.

4. Well, now, if everything worked out for you and you liked it, you can play with server settings.
For example, in the latest update, the developers added such an interesting thing as wear and tear on weapons (I immediately remembered the Dead island series), as well as wear and tear on clothing and equipment.
Many people were not happy with this, and now there is an opportunity to disable this function.

To do this you need:
> Log in to the server with administrator rights. To do this, in the game, open the console with the F1 key and enter the command Rcon.login your password (your password is specified in the server.cfg file and by default is 123456). After entering, the message should appear (in the console) "logged as admin", which means that you are logged in as an administrator. Now enter the commands:
- To disable clothing wear: conditionloss.armorhealthmult "0.0"
- To disable weapon/equipment wear: conditionloss.damagemultiplier "0.0"

You can also disable or enable different things using various mods. For example, disable decay on the server or adjust the flight interval of airplanes. There are already both affordable and not so affordable mods on the Internet. I recommend using the free mod Magma, due to its ease of setup and large number of plugins.

In this topic I will tell you how to create your own Rust Experimental server with mods. Why is this necessary? Well, at least if you play Rast, then you have a lot of ideas that are much more convenient to test on your server with endless resources and the ability to fly. And if you go further, you can make your server popular and receive real money for selling gaming goodies to players on your server.

So let's get started.
Part one - Creating a server.
1. Download the Rust_server.zip archive from the official website at this
2. Unpack the archive into a folder convenient for you. For example, to this one: C:\Games\Rust_Server\Server
Next I will give examples of addresses with this folder.
3. Go to the C:\Games\Rust_Server\Server folder and run the update.bat file
A black window with a command line will open and the server files will be downloaded, the size is about 2.15 GB. Once the download is complete, the window will close automatically.
4. Go to the folder C:\Games\Rust_Server\Server\rustds
Create a text document in Notepad, copy this text inside:
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -server.hostname "My Server" -server.port 28015 -server.identity Hello_World -server.maxplayers 5 -server.seed 777 -server.worldsize 4000 -chat.serverlog 1 -server.netlog 1 -server .saveinterval 300 -spawn.max_rate 1 -spawn.max_density 1
Next, in notepad, click “Save as...” and save the file with the name “start server.bat” extension “All files”.
The file that appears "start server.bat" is the start file for your server. When you click on it, a black command line window will open again and the map will be created and the server will start. You can find out that the server is ready to work by looking at the FPS counter at the bottom right of the window: when loading it will show 0 fps, and after finishing a digital value will appear, for example, for me it is 262 fps.
5. Next you need to find out your external IP address.
Let's say you went to one of the IP address determination services, and your address turned out to be 213.180.193.11
Open Rust and press the F1 button, in the console that opens, enter the command client.connect 213.180.193.11:28015

If everything is done correctly, the connection will work and you will find yourself on your own server

P.S.: The folder with your server files (save, etc.) will be located at C:\Games\Rust_Server\Server\rustds\server\Hello_World

Part two: Admin

1. To make yourself (or a friend) an admin on your server, you first need to find out your Steam ID. To do this, go to your Steam profile and in any free space - for example, to the left of your avatar, right-click and select "Copy page address". Paste this address anywhere, for example into a notepad or browser. Something like this will appear)
