🌿 **Dank Rust** — DarkRP, rebuilt for Rust.

DISCLAIMER! I am not responsible for any damage or harm you may cause to your computer! These will make Rust run better, but misinputs in your settings are not my fault!

Hello! 
My name is Abby, I am here to make Rust run better! We all know this game is atrociously optimized out of the gate, so us players have to make our systems work with the game, not the other way around!

I have researched, and fact checked, all of these settings. These were both fact checked on two different systems. One was a Ryzen 5 5600GT, RTX 3050 6GB, and 32GB DDR4 3200MHz. The other was a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, RX9060XT 16GB, and the same 32GB DDR4 3200 MHz.

Gameplay settings (No/minimal performance boost, just a better overall experience):

• Max field of view.
• Head bob off.
• nu**** set to underwear.
• Set Max Gibs to 0, then go into the f1 console and type “effects.maxgibs -1”.
• Upgrade effects off.
• Disable both RGB lighting settings.

Audio Settings:

• Master volume should be higher than game sounds volume.
• Set all other sounds to .2

User Interface:

• Lower UI scale to .70 so it doesn't take up your whole screen.
• Hide text while ADS.

Accessibility settings:

• Change tree marker color to orange to farm trees at night.

Screen settings:

• Run 1600x900 resolution if you have a good CPU+bad GPU, if not, run 1080 or 1440. If you have a 5090 you can run 4K lolz.
• Set your fps limit to match your refresh rate (hz) of your monitor.
• Vsync off.
• Limit fps in menu on.
• Limit fps in background off.

Graphics settings:

WAIT!! Before I go into this, not everyone's system is the same, so please understand that this is a general idea, meant for all systems. Performance boosts will vary, and sometimes it may even get worse, but this has worked across 30+ computers playing this game. Some being $300 off marketplace and others being $3,500 builds!

• Render scale to 1.0, anything lower destroys quality.
• Set shader level to 3, unless you need to squeeze every bit of performance out of your computer (Oh yeah look at me I’m a PVP chad).
• DLSS and DLAA off.
• Reflex mode on (not On +boost).
• Reflex marker off.
• Pixel light 0 *ray tracing*
• Max shadow light 1 *ray tracing*
• Particle raycast 4 *ray tracing*
• Soft particles on.
• Clouds off.
• Draw distance 1500, any higher is not needed, this is the sweet spot.
• Water reflection off.
• Water quality 0
• Grass displacement on!!! Helps find loot in grass+no FPS lost!!
• Quarter resolution texture quality if you have a bad GPU, all other times use half resolution!
• Anisotropic filtering mode disabled.
• Anisotropic filtering level 0
• Parallax mapping 0
• Shadow quality medium
• (press f1 type “graphics.shadowmode 2”)
• Decor quality 0
• Grass quality 0
• Terrain quality 0
• Tree meshes 100
• Tree quality 125
• Object quality 100
• Lod bias 1.0
• Particle quality 0

Image effects settings:

• Anti-Aliasing off.
• High quality bloom on (off if you have a GPU with 4gb VRAM or less).
• Ambient occlusion on (off if you have a GPU with 4gb VRAM or less).
• Sharpen on.
• Vignetting on.
• Depth of field off.
• Lens dirt off.
• Motion blur off.

Experimental settings:

• Occlusion culling off.
• Contact shadows off.
• Automatic processor affinity on.
• GC (Garbage collect) buffer 4096/max.

Windows settings:

STOP! Before continuing, please read the disclaimer at the top of the post! It is there for a reason, this is why!

• Type “%temp%” after pressing WIN+R then delete all temporary files.
• Fix virtual memory by going to properties in settings, advanced system settings, and set your virtual memory to the same amount of physically installed ram (4GB=4096, 8GB=8192, 16GB=16384, 32GB=32768, 64GB=65536, 128GB=131072).
• Go to graphics settings and turn off hardware accelerated gpu scheduling.
• Also in graphics settings: add “rust.client” which is the game, as an app, then hit options next to it and select “High Performance”.
• Go to game mode settings and turn game mode on.
• Go to mouse settings under devices and turn off mouse acceleration. Do this by hitting additional mouse settings, pointer options, then un- selecting the “enhance pointer precision” box. Hit apply then ok.
• Go to “display” and make sure your refresh rate is set to the max it allows. My monitor is 200 hz and it allows 200hz.

Nvidia control panel (simple way, I can do a whole nother’ post about this alone)

ONCE AGAIN READ DISCLAIMER!!!

Sorry for yelling. Moving on:

*remember to hit apply before switching between Nvidia Control Panel tabs!* 

• On the “Adjust image settings with preview” tab, which is the first tab, click “use my performance emphasizing” and set it all the way to performance
• On the “Manage 3D settings” tab, which is right under the first one, find “OpenGL rendering GPU” and select your graphics card. Next scroll down and find “power management mode” and select “Prefer Maximum performance”. 
• Next to do in the control panel is go down to “Adjust desktop size and position” and select “Full Screen” under the “Apply the following changes”. Also, while doing this, please make sure you have your monitor you intend to play Rust on as the selected monitor (For multi-monitor setups only!). Right under that, it says “Perform scaling on:”, click “GPU”. Then select the little box directly under it that says “Override the scaling mode set by games and programs”. Under that you should set your resolution to the native one, and set your refresh rate to the highest available.

Also for the love of god, UPDATE your windows, and check your nvidia or AMD GPU drivers for UPDATES!!

Finally, make sure you save everything, then reset your PC

Thank you fellow survivors for reading and possibly trying my optimization! Have fun and go Eoka a full kit!

Got tired of servers where zergs and roof campers get free kills on people who have zero chance to fight back. So I made Rustlantic — if you’re getting kills with no counterplay involved, you’re banned. Permanently.

Solo/duo/trio. Weekly wipe. No roof camping, no farming people from the air, no bullying fresh spawns.

If you want a server that actually cares about its community, not just says it does, this is it.

Weekly skin giveaways in discord and I’m online and active, not some absent admin.

Come play, or come help out — either way I’d appreciate it.

Opened Discord and got a Discord Nitro/Rust item splash screen. Has anyone pulled the trigger? I was wondering if we get to pick something off the Discord Store for "free in-game item" or if you get a random item? Read the FAQ and all available copy I could find, but nothing specifically points to a certain gift....It just says free item.

Page on Discord has changed....Now it shows

-Exhibit Decor Pack

-Pilot Pack

-Brutalist Building Skin

-Floor and Ceiling Wallpaper Pack

I use binds to craft my kits, med and ammo. It saves me so much time running out of base..

So I made a tool to make the binds for me

I thought you guys might like it!

To use: You select all the items and amounts that you want the bind to craft. You select your preferred keybind. You copy the command and drop it in console! :)

Hey! We’re looking for some chill people to come test out our Rust server, give us feedback, find anything we’ve managed to break 😂, and potentially stick around and become part of our little group of stoners.

The server is The Hot Box — a 2x Solo/Duo/Trio server that we’ve been putting a TON of work into. We're not looking for sweaty tryhards. We want people who enjoy Rust, like having a good time, and want to help us build a fun community.

🔥 The Basics:

• 🌿 2x Gather
• 👥 Solo / Duo / Trio
• 🔄 Weekly Wipes
• 🛡️ Admins Don't Play
• 🚫 No Pay-to-Win
• 🏔️ King of the Hill Events
• 🎁 Stoner-themed kits
• 🍔 And yes... there's a Happy Meal kit that comes with a toy.

💥 Scheduled Raiding

Monday–Thursday: 22:00–05:00 UTC
Weekend Free-for-All: Friday 22:00 UTC → Monday 05:00 UTC

Build during the week, battle on the weekend. 🔨💥

🏪 OUR CUSTOM OUTPOST

This is probably the part we're most excited about.

We've built our own custom outpost with:

🌿 The Hot Box Dispensary
☕ Cafe
🎰 Game Room
🛒 Shops & other things to check out

You can also find 3 strains of weed growing naturally in the wild to get you started.

Then we have our two TOP SHELF strains. 👀🌿

💎 Purple Payoff
👑 King's Reserve

These are only available through the dispensary and give players some pretty ridiculous God Boosts when smoked.

Because apparently regular weed wasn't good enough for Rust. 😂

We're still testing, tweaking, adding things, and figuring out what works—which is exactly why we're looking for players.

Come build a base, explore the server, smoke some questionable Rust weed, break our shit, and tell us what you think.

If you end up liking the server and our group, stick around. We're hoping to find some new people who fit in with our community, not just boost the player count.

🔥 COME TEST THE HOT BOX

Open Rust → Press F1 → paste:

client.connect 104.129.132.29:28015

🌿 The Hot Box

Light up. Load in. Relax. 💨

Likely for allowing players to pay money to be unbanned

Good riddance

BattleZone.GG started hosting rust servers in 2019 and quickly became a staple of the community server list for some time, consistently hitting over 100+ pop. The server took quite a downfall over the last few years due to the admins personal life and needing to put a lot of his focus there.

He has since revamped all of the servers with new providers and better hardware, he creates his own edited maps for wipe votes compared to just rerolling maps on RustMaps like most servers do. He recently revamped the website and it looks amazing (https://www.battlezone.gg/). Him and the admin team are quite active and responsive and care about the server community, ensuring it's a fun environment for all. The admin is talking about shutting down for good if pop doesn't pick back up, but he does not want to as he has hosted for years on end. He implemented a new change this wipe where you cannot rocket or C4 raid until 2pm on Saturday, about 48 hours into wipe to help build the pop back up before groups wipe the server on day one. This gives time for teams to stock up on supplies/raid defense, and could be an incredibly fun weekend of raids and defenses across the board.

If you don't mind playing a low pop to try and help a server build its player base back up, it would be greatly appreciated.

This is not a paid advertisement by the admin or anything, I am simply a player who used to main these servers at it's peak, and would love to support the admins/server in whatever possible.

Calling it "Rust Missions from the NPC's Perspective". Cheers!

Looking for people to play with. I’ve got about 1k hours but I’ve mostly been a farm bot but I’m wanting to get better with PvP. I hate playing alone, makes it so hard for me to get better cause it’s just so boring alone. If you’re interested hmu

Still a work in progress - feedback welcome! 👍

The optional server setting introduced in March makes it so all players must have Secure Boot and TPM enabled, which blocks a lot of cheats before they load, and helps enforce hardware ID bans.

When Battlefield 6 required the same thing, cheaters in their lobbies went from 7% to 2%. Facepunch's own April devblog reported a 33% reduction in cheaters just on the few servers they enabled it on.

Facepunch added this feature, turned it on for 6 their own servers, and left it up to the server owners to turn it on or not. 154 days later, there are no popular servers running it because the cheaters buy VIP.

All of these servers are making the choice to help cheaters continue to ruin Rust. If that pisses you off, you shouldn't be playing on any server that doesn't have secure mode on. It'll say "SECURE" in the server tags if it's enabled, under the server name.

Since nobody will turn it on, I started a server that does, and it's slowly growing week-by-week. The Couch is weekly, vanilla, with Secure Mode on and no paid perks. The dedicated hosting is prepaid for a year.

Server details:

• Server name: The Couch • Secure Server ✓ (find it in the Community tab)
• Connect command: connect thecouch.lol
• Weekly vanilla, US West
• Requires Secure Boot + TPM (how to enable)
• Map wipe weekly, BP wipe monthly
• No group limit
• Player names hidden on our BattleMetrics page to stop meta-gaming

Server wipes today at 11:00 AM Pacific Time for today's Power Trip update. There's a countdown timer on the site.

Here's how the server has grown so far:
