In this thread, I'll show you how to create your own Rust Experimental server with mods. Why is it necessary? Well, at least if you play Rust, then you have a lot of ideas that are much more convenient to test on your own server with endless resources and the ability to fly. And if you go further, then you can make your server popular and get real money for selling game goodies to players on your server.
So let's get started.
Part one - Server creation.
1. Download the Rust_server.zip archive from the official website using this
2. Unzip the archive to a folder convenient for you. For example, this one: C:\Games\Rust_Server\Server
Further I will give examples of the address 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 in it, the size is about 2.15 GB. When 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 appeared file "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 the end, a digital value will appear, for example, I have 262 fps.
5. Next, you need to find out your external IP address.
Let's say you went to one of the services for determining the IP address, 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, then the connection will go 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 know your Steam ID. To do this, go to your profile in Steam and in any free space - for example, to the left of your profile picture, right-click and select "Copy page address". We paste this address anywhere, for example, in a notepad or in a browser. Something like )
