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 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 "start server.bat" file that appears 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 profile on Steam and on any free space- for example, to the left of your avatar, click right click mouse and select "Copy page address". Paste this address anywhere, for example into a notepad or browser. Something like this will appear)
