These changes will take place at our 5am reboot (about 5 hours from the time of this post):

February 2025 Wipe
Lots of changes this wipe including new items and rule changes. Read on for more info. Rule changes:* Excessively large bases that cause visual lag (rendering lag) for others may be removed without notice. Remember, this is NOT a build server. If you want to practice building large clan type bases, please find a build…

New Raidable Bases Added
We have added an extra 110 base designs to the Raidable Bases system. We are still reviewing them all to make sure they have enough loot boxes for each tier, but the base configs appear good on most so far. Easy, Medium and Hard received 30 bases each. Expert and Nightmare received 10 each.

January 2025 Wipe
Happy New Year Everyone! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and hope your 2025 turns out great as well! We do have a couple changes to let you know about: FP rolled back some expected changes (the right thing to do IMO considering I’m sure a lot of their staff was off during Christmas). So…

Wallpaper Damage
We are testing a no wallpaper damage plugin. Test on our test server were very promising, so we now have it loaded on live for further testing. For now, wallpaper shouldn’t take damage. We will be evaluating its performance the rest of the wipe. As always, if you notice any issues, please make a ticket…

RaidMe Update
/raidme has received some config changes that ‘should’ fix NPCs spawning below the ground or in rock faces. If you still experience problems with this, please make a ticket in #admin-help on our Discord.

December ’24 Wipe
First off: Merry Christmas from HNC Rust! This month, Facepunch added their own car radio item to Rust. This is a craftable item. Since it’s mostly redundant to our old car radio, that plugin has been removed. The plugin did offer more flexibility, but also caused some issues with gameplay. So it was decided to…

Reduced Lockout Time On Loot
Loot lockout times for Heli, Bradley, and generic NPCs has been reduced from 15 minutes to 5 minutes. This means if you do not collect your loot after 5 minutes (or stop attacking for 5 minutes), the event/items will be available to other players.

Changing Stack Plugin
The plugin we have used for a long time to modify stack sizes has not been updated since the November wipe. This has caused some issues with new items like the Handmade SMG. We have decided to switch to a different stacks plugin and have rolled it out with the 5:00pm reboot. Please let us…

Animal AI and Population
We have been tweaking the animal population a bit to see if it will help server side FPS (especially with the new Wolf AI). However, the adjustments didn’t help as much as we had hoped. The new Wolf AI is great, but is a major source of resource drain. Server FPS is already getting very…
