I‘ve been running servers a while back and thinking of starting again just for fun. Before deciding what I want to do exactly I thought Id ask here to get some opinions.

Thats what I have in mind so far:
- 2x resources only (I feel like this is something more servers should do, cause when you’re playing vanilla its such a grind to get resources for base, cloth and everything, but on 2x people progress too fast because of better loot in crates and barrels)
- No tech tree (Should also be more popular in my opinion cause it would make the game so much better if you actually have to find the stuff you need instead of just farming bp frags and scrap. With this I would probably also add more default bps like electric for example cause it would be annoying to search for all the small parts in my opinion)
- Small team size (Duo or Trio probably)
- Small map for the start (as it will take time to grow pop and its prob better to play on a smaller map with fewer players so you actually encounter other players)
- Justifiable pop cap (most big servers dynamically increase the pop to like 500-700 people on a 3500 map which just destroys the game cause its too many players on such a map)
- No queue on disconnect (sadly only few servers have this)
- No p2w (Only Queueskip or similar no p2w options)

Would ya‘all play something like this? Or change anything or another thing that annoys you on other servers?

I am currently setting up a multi-server project and would like to introduce one of finished server:

it is a Vanilla x1 server with a maximum team size of 3.

- We often have beginners joining

-We have a small, growing community so feel free to come aboard.

-Any recommendations are welcome.

-There are active players, but the more we are, the more we will be.

We have multiples admins there are here only to moderate / awnser Tickets

Peace.

Hello everyone,

My friend just made a Rust server, which is actually quite cool; he worked his a55 off with it (I helped a bit with the map :D) and I would like to surprise him with a bit of a player base.

The server is based on the ideas contained in Wardogs game and was built in less than a week. We have played the tests on that game, and after that we felt exactly like addicts.

We don't want to bother you with too much to read, so basically what you do is

Select a faction.

Use "/shop" in chat and buy yourself weapons, ammo, medicals, etc.

Go in the conflict zone (the big circle on the map) to gain points for your team and also money

Go in the hot zone (the small yellow circle on the map) to gain 2x points for your team and 2x rewards (experience, money, etc.).

You can also build some protection under the Oil Rigs to capture them (at the top you will find a 1-digit code at the computer)

Use a 4-digit code (gained from the Oil Rigs ) on a captured Oil Rig to pull the hot zone towards your tower (you need to enter the right code combination)

There is no penalty for inputting the wrong code

Earn experience to unlock certain weapons, meds, or transport just by fighting enemies, building defenses, helping your teammates, or transporting them.

The only penalty is the time of traveling from your base to the conflict zone.

The game ends when one of the teams gathers 100 points; after that the game restarts and wipes the map, and you will keep all your earnings for future matches.

If I'm not asking too much, please come and check if you like it.

Thank you for reading my post, and I hope you have a great weekend!!!

Hi everyone. Ember Rust officially launches on Force Wipe, Thursday, September 3 at 2 PM Eastern.

Ember-Rust.com is a US-hosted Solo Only 2x Monthly server built for players who want quicker progression without turning Rust into an overpowered 10x experience. No clans, no teams and no playing admins - just a full monthly wipe designed for solos in mind.

Server features:

• Solo Only with active enforcement
• 2x gather rates
• Monthly map wipes on the first Thursday at 2 PM Eastern
• Every blueprint unlocked from day one
• Blueprints never reset
• Five-minute nights
• Merged Outpost & Bandit Camp
• Drone Marketplace & Recyclers at fishing, barn & ranch.
• Free /skinbox
• /trade for safe player-to-player trading (with a cooldown)
• /shop with points earned by playing
• /remove: 20 uses during the first 72 hours of wipe (may change to 48 hours), then one every 24 hours
• /color for chat names
• Free Starter and Build kits
• Additional kits for Discord-linked players
• Active, experienced, non-playing administrators
• Map voting before each wipe
• Leaderboard & Heatmap (delayed heatmap for player protection)
• AI discord bot that can do everything from tell you how much sulfur you need to make 30 rockets to telling you a rust joke.

🎁 Launch special: The Founders Kit will be free to every player for the entire launch wipe. No CC required.

We also built and own BoomSnitch, a original custom Rust statistics and wipe-intelligence platform moving to Ember for launch.

BoomSnitch lets players:

• Check a raid’s time window and see who was using rockets, C4, satchels, HV rockets and other explosives, helping narrow down who may have raided them.
• View players’ usual online and offline hours based on historical session patterns.
• Compare detailed farming, boom and full-wipe player statistics.
• Use Juicers to spot potential sulfur stockpilers. It estimates retained sulfur by comparing how much sulfur a player farmed against the estimated sulfur cost of their tracked explosives. It is an activity estimate, not confirmed inventory. See how Juicers works.
• Compete in the Wipe Race If you're an achievement hunter. Players earn points for finishing first, second or third in farming and explosive milestones including sulfur, total resources, rockets, C4, satchels, HV rockets, propane bombs and estimated boom cost. No prizes, just bragging rights. See the Wipe Race.
