Rust Server Settings

In order to change your description for your Rust server, you will need to change the serverauto.cfg file in your "server/experimental/cfg" folder inside your servers FTP directory.

For instructions on FTP usage, please visit FTP Access.
For a text editing program, we strongly recommend using Notepad++ found here.

Getting Started

When working on your Rust server, the main file you will be using is serverauto.cfg. Follow these steps to get started and then view the subsections for additional customization.

  1. Access your server directory with an FTP editing client.
  2. Navigate to the "/server/experimental/cfg" folder.
  3. Locate the file "serverauto.cfg". If the serverauto.cfg is not there you will need to make a new file and name it serverauto.cfg.
  4. Edit "serverauto.cfg" with Notepad++.

Server Description

Why a description?

server.description "This is an example of a single line of text"
(example image)
server.description "This is an example of how to add\n additional lines of text.\n All "lines" must be on the same one, separated by\n backslash n!"
(example image)

Note: If your server name / description shows up as Amsterdam II, this is the default settings with Rust and your config file most likely has errors.

Server Header / Image

512x256, png format. How to make it work.

server.headerimage "url.png"
Example

Server URL

Why a URL?

server.url "http://www.survivalservers.com"
