September 2025 Wipe

Here comes September!

There were several updates to plugins this month. So as usual, please let us know of any issues you see via ticket in #admin-help on our Discord.

A couple of pending issues are still present that we are waiting for updates on:

  • Monument NPCs – Our custom monument NPCs are not currently spawning. We have reached out to the author of the plugin for assistance.
  • Event system has not received it’s update yet. So arena events are still disabled.
  • Village and Factory map markers – The map markers for our custom monuments are not loading right. Based on feedback from the editing community, we are not sure if this is a Rust issue or an Editor issue. We are hoping this will be fixed in an update, but that’s still unclear. But for now the markers are shown like the image below. The monument location for each is under the first underscore of “volumes_and_triggers” as shown by the red arrow.

You can find more info about general Rust changes this month on the devblog.

PVE Updated – Wallpaper Fix

The PVE plugin has been updated (THANK YOU NIVEX!) to hopefully fix the issue with wallpaper showing up randomly on bases. As always, please let us know on our Discord if you have any issues.

If you already have random wallpaper on your base, you will have to remove it with the hammer, but it “shouldn’t” come back afterwards.

Couple Of Updates

A few updates loaded at 5pm reboot. Mainly an update to Server Rewards and the Wallpaper Planner.

Shouldn’t notice any changes with Server Rewards, but please let us know if you notice any issues via our Discord.

Wallpaper Planner now includes a few more custom wallpapers for use. For more info on how to use the planner if you’re not familiar with it, see our Information and Commands page.

New Entity Limits

Due to abuse, we are going to be adding limits on a few other items: Campfires, Red Search Lights and Blue Strobes to name a few, but others will likely be added. These can cause low FPS for players with lower end graphics and serve no practical purpose in large groups anyway. If you are already above the limit on these items, you won’t be able to place anymore until you remove enough to fall back under the limit. However, we may selectively remove some in cases of extreme abuse.

We will monitor and adjust the new limits as needed.

Please remember to read the rules and keep in mind that we are NOT a build server.

Convoy And Train Updates

Convoy and Armored Train have received some updates that should once again lock them correctly to attacking players. Convoy will be locked to the player/clan that attacks it first and will unlock after 5 minutes. Armored Train will be locked to the player/clan that stops the train by either flipping the switch at the rear of the train engine or killing the driver. The train will be hostile to all players if it is attacked before it’s stopped.

Auto Auth Updated

Teams were mistakenly shown in the auto auth window. Since we force clans, the teams settings were not supposed to be shown. If you used auto auth to give rights to teams, you will need to go back in and assign those rights under clans now.

August 2025 Wipe

Well, the day is finally here. August 2025 Wipe Day. Big changes to some common staples across Rust.

Facepunch’s new Terms of Service regarding DLC and other content (skins) goes into full effect today.

  • Building skins are removed (unless you own them of course). So /bskin is no longer available.
  • Skinbox has been neutered to comply. If you own an official skin, you should see it. Otherwise you will only see the workshop skins we have added. You can also request more skins.
  • “Approved” wallpapers have been removed from the wallpaper planner plugin. If you own a wallpaper, you can still right click to select it. Workshop wallpapers are available in the planner, however they have been shown to take a while to load.
  • The shop no longer contains DLC items.

We’ve also added a new plugin called Auto Authorization. This will allow you to automatically allow clanmates access to various locked items without needing a key or lock code. Use with caution and read more about it at the link above.

Auto Authorization

This plugin will allow you to easily share locked items with clanmates via a GUI. Turning these settings on will grant access to the selected items to ALL members of your clan, so use with caution!

By default, all settings are turned off and will wipe when the server wipes. So you will need to re-enable any settings you want each wipe.

To access the GUI, type /autoauthui in chat. You will see the following window:

Let’s go down the list of options.

  • Clan Sharing – This is a “kill all” switch. It must be enabled for any other options to work. For example, if you enable Sharing Cupboard, but this top option is disabled, cupboard sharing will still be disabled.
  • Sharing Cupboard – Grants clan members Building Privilege to a locked cupboard. Does not grant direct TC access, see “Other Entity” lines below for that.
  • Sharing Turret – Grants auth to turrets (not really needed on PvE).
  • Sharing Key Lock/Sharing Code Lock – A “kill all” switch for all key lock or code lock lines below them. Each must be enabled for any of the corresponding key lock/code lock entries to work.
  • Sharing Key Lock/Code Lock of Door – Grants clanmates access to doors locked with a key lock or code lock respectively.
  • Sharing Key Lock/Code Lock of Box – Grants clanmates access to boxes locked with a key lock or code lock respectively.
  • Sharing Key Lock/Code Lock of Other Entity – Grants clanmates access to other entities such as the Tool Cupboard that are locked with a key lock or code lock respectively.
