Rust Server

The server is a slightly modified, mostly vanilla-esque experience. I try to maintain a balance that allows people with limited time to establish themselves and actually have a chance against larger, more established groups.

Server Information:

Our server is hosted on a fully dedicated machine for a smooth, lag-free experience. i7 4790k CPU, 32GB of RAM, 2 250GB SSDs in RAID0 and a gigabit connection.

Server IP: 158.69.121.203
Server Port: 28015

Wipes:

Wipes are on an automated, bi-weekly schedule unless forced by a Rust update. These happen automatically and players will be notified via chat.

Mods:

2x Gather/Smelt: Pretty straightforward. Anything you mine, gather, pick up or mine with a quarry happens at 2x vanilla rate. This gives newer players a chance to establish themselves. Yes, it does scale with larger groups, but at least nakeds have a potentially longer lifespan than 30 seconds.

InstantCraft: If anyone can come up with a convincing reason not to have this, please let me know. More than half your time in rust is spent crafting. I don't see it as necessary or beneficial, especially for people who can't no-life to establish themselves or have a little fun.

Remover Tool: Use /remove in chat to remove any buildables you've placed simply by clicking on them. Pay attention to the timer and be careful where you click, because there is no refund if you accidentally deleted something. You can only delete an object if you've placed it or if you're added as the owner's friend. Unfortunately this has a high potential for abuse and will be up for debate/potential removeal.

FriendlyFire: This one's up for debate. Add friends/clanmates with the /clan or /friend commands in chat and enable or disable friendly fire with /ff. This removes the element of screaming at each other in TeamSpeak and constantly calling jumpchecks.

DeathNotes: Kill/death messages. Purely for fun; doesn't affect gameplay.

Sleeper Protection: This is almost necessary. All this does is protect sleepers on foundations from being killed by bears.

Clans: Everyone already knows about this. Create a clan, add friends to your clan. /clan for usage.

If you have anymore additional mods you might like to see or if you want to see one of the plugins removed or changed, make a post or a poll and if there's enough support or you're convincing enough we'll change it. This server is run by the players, not by us. You make the experience, so give us your input!
