Server Rules

While Rust is a game of conflict, we do not tolerate hate speech. Racism, sexism, or severe toxicity toward players or staff will result in a ban. Excessive chat spamming is also prohibited and may result in sanctions.

The use of third-party software (scripts, hacks, or macros) to gain an unfair advantage is strictly forbidden. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy; cheaters are permanently banned.

Attempting to circumvent a server or EAC ban by using alt accounts will result in an immediate permanent ban for all associated accounts.

Stream sniping is prohibited. However, the burden of proof lies with the streamer. Streamers must use preventative measures (Streamer Mode, map overlays, and delays).

Promoting other servers, social media, or real-money services is not allowed.

You must adhere to the specific group limit of the server you are playing on (Solo, Duo, or Trio). You may not cooperate with more than the allowed number of players in any capacity (roaming, raiding, or base-sharing).

• Trading: Item-for-item trades are encouraged. "Gift trading" (e.g., an L96 for 1 stone) to bypass the group limit is a bannable offense.
• Diplomacy: Non-aggression pacts with neighbors are allowed to prevent camping, but you may not fight together or share resources.

To replace a group member, you must:

1. Remove all bags/beds of the departing player.
2. Remove the Tool Cupboard (TC) authorization for the departing player.
3. Change all door/box codes.

Note: The player leaving cannot return to the group for the remainder of the wipe.

Players or teams leaving the server for the duration of the wipe are permitted to give their base and loot to another player/group. However, the original owners cannot return for the remainder of the wipe. If the original owners return or continue to play with the new occupants, it will be considered a violation of the Group Size Limit (Rule II.6).

Using bugs to gain an advantage is prohibited. Staff may restrict new glitches at their discretion. Currently disallowed:

• Glitching under the map or inside foundations.
• Building inaccessible bases (e.g., inside rock formations).
• Large Heli exploit at Oil Rig.
• Any exploit that provides an unfair advantage over intended mechanics.

To filter out high-risk accounts, the server automatically kicks:

• Profiles with 2 or more VAC/Game bans.
• Profiles with any VAC/Game ban less than 365 days old.
• Profiles that are not set up.

We do not whitelist VPN or Proxy use of any kind. This includes "ping enhancement" or "lag reduction" services (e.g., NoLag, ExitLag, etc.), which are strictly prohibited.

Exceptions: Only verified cloud gaming services are permitted. These include NVIDIA GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud), Boosteroid, PlayStation Plus Premium, and Amazon Luna.

Admins are volunteers. Arguing with staff in-game is not permitted; appeals and questions must be handled via the ticket system.

Lying to staff, filing false reports, or intentionally misleading an investigation will result in a ban.

Admins will not interfere with organic gameplay. This means:

• No spawning items or returning loot.
• No deleting misplaced walls or objects.
• No "refunds" for items lost to bugs, server crashes or restarts.

Using any third-party software to gain unfair or game breaking advantages over other players is not allowed. Cheaters will be banned permanently from our servers.

Rust is still very much in development and as such we do not police most glitches that find their way into the game. Use of exploits or glitches that cause unfair advantages, allow access to areas outside the intended play zone or cause other game breaking results are not allowed. Server staff can restrict the use of glitches at their discretion.

Current disallowed glitches are:

• Glitching under the map.
• Building inside of a foundation.
• Building inaccessible bases, such as inside rock formations.
• Large heli exploit at oilrig.
• Other game breaking exploits that give players unfair advantage.

Players caught circumventing a ban (game or otherwise) will have their new account(s) banned unless the original ban is reversed. These bans will show up as EAC Banned ALT Account.

Steam accounts with VAC or Game bans, regardless of the game, are subjected to the following restrictions:
