Any ban may be appealed in the Ban/Mute Appeals section of our website; however, we do not lift bans for language which has only one usage, that being purposefully racist or severely derogatory. We have and will continue to maintain a zero tolerance for racism. As of April, 2021 we have updated our auto-ban filters to include slang and words that is often intended as derogatory, but may also have usage that is not purposefully racist. Only in this scenario will the appeal be considered and only if logs clearly indicate such. If accepted, the ban will be changed to a temporary ban and said player informed that the language used will not be tolerated in any context in our community. No chance to appeal a language ban in the future will be given, regardless of the context. Your player history, behavior, and positive contributions and interactions within our PvE community is not considered in an appeal for racism or language bans.

Personal distress signals ("Apache Distress Signal" and "APC Distress Signal") allow players to call in an Attack Helicopter or Bradly APC to fight. Signals are purchased in the black market on our modded servers using in-game credits (Net worth). When a player deploys the Apache Distress Signal, a server message will appear in global chat: Playername used a distress signal to intercept an attack helicopter. The attack helicopter will move to your location on the map. When a player deploys the APC Distress Signal, the Bradley APC will spawn at Launch Site. The player who deployed the signal will always be able to loot the resulting crates. Up to four additional players who participate and meet the minimum damage threshold will also have their own instanced versions of loot crates. These events are instanced to allow others on the server to participate while ensuring the signal owner will receive loot for their efforts. They are not designed for a single player or team to solo challenge. If you are unwilling to allow other to participate, then consider using the signals during off-peak hours when there's fewer players online or not purchasing them at all. Admins will not be involved with disputes arising from who participates in these events.

Our modded servers currently do not offer free teleports to key areas of the map; Stone Quarry, HQM Quarry, Sulfur Quarry, Bandit Camp, and Outpost.

Any ban may be appealed in the Ban/Mute Appeals section of our website. There is no format for appealing as we can easily pull up your account via your profile. To appeal, reply to your ban topic posted by the admin who committed the ban. If you were banned by our auto-ban, or a ban thread was not created, submit a new thread.

Sleepers are automatically killed after 20 minutes inside a safe zone (Bandit Camp, Barn, Fishing Village, and Outpost). This is an intended part of the game itself -- not a server modification. If you log out in a safe zone, you have to reconnect within that timeframe to move out of there. If you log out in a loot room, you are automatically killed when the loot respawns. The only safe place to log out is inside your own secured base!

An admin from your server will review appropriate server logs and ask you to provide additional details, if needed. An admin does not need to be logged in on the server to investigate a player report. If the report is valid the admin will take the following actions: If no prior warnings are on the player's account, an admin will speak to the player privately to ensure they are aware of the rule and our expectation they follow it. On a second occurrence, an in-game warning is issued. Players are unable to interact on the server until they indicate they understand and agree to the rule. Each admin interaction and warning is logged and remains a permanent part of the player's profile. All staff has access to a player's history and will see any previous warnings (i.e. stealing, camping, political verbiage, disrespect...) on the account when handling player reports. Formal actions (server mute, kick or ban) are taken when a player continues to break the rules, after they have been warned by an admin. For serious offences (i.e. racism, harassment, sexism, or ongoing disruption of the servers) an immediate warning or ban is issued to the player and is applied across all RustEZ PvE community servers.

Players online at the same time as you are often trying to do the same things you are -- at the same time. While you may see them at a few of the same spots, it doesn't necessarily mean they are "hogging" the loot. This is especially true on servers during peak player hours. Compromise is a big part of playing on a community server. Players are encouraged to jointly participate in events, share the loot, and be courteous to others who are simply trying to enjoy the game, the same as you. If you feel that a player or team is unfairly hoarding monuments/events on your server (i.e., the players repeatedly prevent others from participating and looting), please send us a help ticket.

Camping is when a player, or their team, AFKs or idles in concentrated loot areas, and returns to active gameplay to take said loot when it spawns or respawns. Loot camping applies to monuments and timed server events, including Patrol Helicopter, Oil Rig, and Bradly APC. Server Rule: No camping loot rooms, monuments, or any highly concentrated areas.

The EAC Temporary Server Ban is typically due to packet loss (i.e. connection timed out, authentication timed out, and excessive packet loss). This is a Temporary EasyAntiCheat (EAC) ban. It is not a ban we can remove on our end. Simply wait the required 15 minutes and reconnect to the server.

No. Our night times vary based on season and can be as short as 10 minutes and as long as 15 minutes. Day time is always twice as long as night in any given season.

Admins do not interfere with gameplay. When players die due to game mechanics (i.e. Scientists, minicopter crashes, Bradly APC) it's up to the player to locate their body using the in-game death marker on the map or the Revive option on the modded servers. If a player disconnects or dies to a server issue, you can contact an admin on Discord. Post the details in #help and tag your server. If an admin is available they will assist. Keep in mind once the player backpack has despawned admins are unable to retrieve the items.

No, the level on your quarry will not be reset if you decide to move it (Survival servers only).

Steam has hundreds of servers that form it's authentication system and outages could vary based on region and location. This is why only a few players can be affected at once. Try restarting Steam. If that doesn't work give it 10 minutes before trying to reconnect to avoid a temporary EAC ban.

Public monuments (such as Oil Rigs or Military Tunnels) and server events (including the Attack Helicopter or Bradley APC) are shared, server-wide activities that take place in public spaces and are not intended to be solo content. If other players choose to participate, there is nothing you can do to prevent it — they’re there to have fun just like you. Playing on a community server means sharing content, and compromise is part of the experience.

You can check the status of any of our servers on our connect page. You'll see a bar under each banner with 1 of 3 colors. Green(Online), Orange(Restarting), Red(Offline). In the event of a crash, the server will automatically attempt to correct the issue and restart itself within 10 minutes. Although rare, sometimes it's unable to do so which then a technician will intervene to correct the issue manually. Chances are, if the server you're trying to connect to is rejecting your connection, it's likely undergoing maintenance. Maintenance typically lasts about 5 minutes and happens a couple times a week, typically on Mondays and Thursdays. If the server shows online and you're unable to connect there could be ongoing Steam issues or your local network connection is experiencing issues. You can check the status of Steam at https://steamstat.us/ Join our Discord to keep up to date on outages and maintenance.

If a player is offline for more than 10 days, a system is deployed that checks all of their placed building components. If either component is attached to a foundation containing a tool cupboard, it will check the authorized list for active players. If there is at least 1 active player the system is disposed and nothing happens. If there aren't any active players, everything by that player is removed.

On our modded servers, type /skin in chat to open the skin shop menu. Click one of your items in the top right and select any skin shown to use (This also includes nearby). On our vanilla servers, you can apply any owned skin (from your steam inventory) to an item using a Repair Bench.

You can remove default controls from the settings menu, or clear custom keybinds from the console. Remove default controls Press ESC. Open Options. Select Controls. Click the key you want to clear. Remove a custom keybind Clear a bind directly from the console. bind <key> "" Example: bind b "" Note: This only removes the bind from that key. It does not reset your other controls.

Servers labeled “No Decay” in the title and description have decay fully disabled (view server list). Bases never require upkeep, so you can build without worrying about tool cupboard resources. However, after 10 days of inactivity, we remove all entities belonging to players who haven’t logged in — unless an active player is authorized on the cupboard.

You can bind chat commands to a key so you do not have to type them every time. Bind a chat command Run server commands with one key press. Press F1 to open the console. Paste a bind command and press Enter. bind <key> chat.say /command Example: bind b chat.say /home Note: Binds are saved on your PC and only need to be set once.

Typically, servers update around 2 PM EST / 17:50 PM GMT / 18:50 BST on the first Thursday of each month. Unfortunately, we're at the mercy of Facepunch to release their updates within the scope they give us. You can follow #announcements in our Discord to track wipe day progress and to receive a notification when our servers have updated.

On our modded servers, open the container you wish to make public and click the "Share Container" button located at the bottom left of the container's loot panel. To remove public access, open the previously shared container and click the "Unshare" button. On our vanilla and PvP servers, place the item in an unsecured way (i.e. no locks, placed outside your secured area) if you wish to allow public access.

A feature on our Survival and Scourge servers lets you collect mini and scrap helicopters using your salvaged hammer to redeploy later. View the video here.
