FAQ
What is PVE?
PvE stands for Player versus Environment. We choose PvE for newer players to learn the game mechanics in a relatively safe environment. AI bots (animals, scientists, and attack heli) will still attack you, but other players should not. If you have been attacked or believe your items have been looted, please inform an admin.
If it’s PvE, why did someone attack me?
Unfortunately, some people don't follow the rules. If you experience an attack or suspect looting, inform an admin. We have alerts (logs) that notify admins of misconduct, but you can also open a ticket on our Discord.
What’s with the server’s name?
We don't tolerate griefers. They don't last long here; we bury them.
Why are admins not online 24/7?
Our admins are volunteers and unpaid. While they commit a certain amount of time to the server, real-life commitments take precedence. Daily commitment is not required.
How can I contact an admin if one is not online?
If you have questions or concerns, ask on Discord or create a ticket. Minor issues may not need tickets, but for any concerns or questions, we're happy to help.
I accidentally killed a player/destroyed a person’s belongings. Will I be banned?
Mistakes happen, and we understand. Inform us on Discord, and we'll work to make it right. However, looting or dishonesty will result in a ban.
I was banned, and I don’t feel I should have been!
Mistakes can occur; our admins investigate, but sometimes auto-bans happen. If you feel unjustly banned, inform us on Discord, and we'll work with you to resolve the issue.
Why don’t you always insta-ban people?
We give new players the benefit of the doubt, assuming they're not trolls.
HELP! Someone stole my heli, car, horse, tugboat. What should I do?
Report it to an admin; they'll attempt to track your vehicle. If it's untraceable, admins may replace it.
If the rules are not written in my language, do they still apply to me?
Yes, we try to accommodate everyone. Admins have access to translation apps and may be multilingual. If unsure about a rule, ask. We welcome all, regardless of language, as long as they're nice and follow the rules.
I feel that someone in chat is being mean, what should I do?
Ignore rude behavior and inform an admin. Copy and paste the chat or provide the time and your time zone for investigation.
Where can I find a heli, horse, car, tugboat?
Vehicles may randomly spawn, mainly near roads. Secure your vehicles, but if you're having trouble, ask in chat. Admins may spawn vehicles upon request, but don't spam chat.
Why doesn’t this server support mods?
We are currently listed under the Rust Community tab. While we are allowed to utilize plugins for administrative moderation and specific chat-based features, we refrain from altering gameplay or introducing new features to the game. What sets us apart is our unique approach — we have a robust Player Hub that leverages Rust's default tools to track and reward players without the use of in-game mods.
How do I get the fancy-coloured name/chat?
Become a Supporter with a one-time donation. This grants you color options and additional perks. Check our Player Hub for details.
What time is the server wipe?
Server wipe is the first Thursday every month.
Are blueprints wiped during server wipe?
Yes, blueprints are wiped unless RUST forces a wipe. You can choose to wipe blueprints for an extra challenge.
Why do we need to call monuments?
Calling monuments helps players know if someone is looting or doing a puzzle, preventing wasted travel.
Someone is breaking into my house. Can I kill them?
It's advisable to let the person fully break an item or kill you before retaliating as it makes it easier for the admin to figure out the situation and identify the guilty party through logs. Traps are permitted inside your base, and you will be reimbursed for any damage or stolen items. Please note that updating your base from thatch and having windows in frames can discourage trolls from attempting to break in.
What are “Admin raid bases,” and what are they for?
To compensate for the lack of player raids, we've added admin spawned raidable bases. Identify them by a crate icon on the map. Finish the raid by emptying the TC and hacking the crate. Unfinished bases may be raided by others.
Can I request a raid base?
Request one in chat if admins are actively spawning them. Spamming chat is not acceptable.
If a raid base doesn’t look empty but no one is raiding it, can I take over?
Ask in chat to confirm abandonment. Be certain it's a raid base. Some player bases may resemble raid bases.
If a box is unlocked, can I take the items?
If items are labeled as free or next to a raid base, ask in chat. If unsure, leave it alone. Play respectfully and don't exploit others' generosity.
If a person is sleeping in the open, can I loot them?
No, they may have disconnected or be a new player. Report to an admin for assistance.
