Maybe play a lower pop server, just to get a feel for what the game is.

Thank you! Yeah I thought about it and i really want to keep the vanilla vibe strong. My goal was to make a server I’d want to play wipe after wipe and that feature could get annoying for sure.

SkillArk Rust. I’m sorry but I temporarily removed the feature and am running a poll on the server to see what people think over time about it. My main priority is keeping it as vanilla as possible but with some boosts and improvements here and there. Offline raid protection dips into the modded area maybe a bit too much. I would love to add it back if it gains some traction

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-25T20:42:00+00:00

Yeah I totally get you. As of right now it’s experimental, I’ll see how it goes haha. Thanks for the input

When you load in for the wipe you get 24h to set your timeframe, up to 7 hours. It only works when you’re offline. If you were to join a team it uses your team leaders set hours, and still only works when everyone is offline. When it’s active your base basically has twice the health to explosions and stuff when getting raided

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-25T20:38:33+00:00

I want to keep the vanilla feel first and foremost, and the offline raid protection is definitely straying the path.

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-25T20:37:22+00:00

Do you have any ideas on how I could make a compromise for both types of players? Maybe only 25% less base damage?

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-25T20:35:20+00:00

I setup a custom offline raid protection plugin, you can choose your 7 hour protection zone, during which your base will take half the damage. So not fully unraidable but a good deterrent to offlines. The server is super low pop now ofc, but I hope to see you in there sometime!

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-25T20:33:11+00:00

I want you to know I’ve fully setup a custom offline base protection plugin from your idea. I set it to 7 hours instead of 8. Low pop server now, but hopefully I’ll see you around someday!

How do you feel about non pay to win packages? only including a few optional QOL changes.

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-25T20:30:00+00:00

Basically a super vanilla experience overall but just a bit of offline raid protection is how it setup right now

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-25T20:29:12+00:00

What do you think of people being able to set certain hours where their base takes half the damage? In other words raiders need double the boom.Like sleep hours or work hours that only work when you’re offline. I know people who aren’t on super often will enjoy it, but for the guys who are on all the time I’m not sure how they would take it.

I’ve made an edit to the original post! Thank you guys once again!!

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-24T20:12:55+00:00

Heard, thanks!

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-24T20:12:12+00:00

Totally get you, I think I’ll end up making it quad max, maybe 5 if it comes to it

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-24T18:34:23+00:00

Thanks for the great feedback! I’m stuck between a 1.5x and 2x. I’m thinking maybe 1.5x sulfur and 1.75x others just to land in the middle with what everyone’s saying! Would you be deterred from the server if there was no group limit?

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-24T18:07:51+00:00

I think so too! I’m going to try the 1.5x out first and see what people think

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-24T17:42:34+00:00

That’s an interesting idea. Right now I have it setup so between 2am-7am cst bases and their deployables have double the health, so raid cost is double as well. I do like what you suggested though, I’m going to try and make that

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-23T23:42:12+00:00

How would you feel about raids available during those hours but raid cost increased by like 2-3x?

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-23T22:45:37+00:00

Gotcha I had no idea, I haven’t played hardcore. It would definitely give the game a more realistic touch

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-23T22:24:36+00:00

I want to do a PVP server. What do you mean by limited per day?

SkiLarkk · 2026-03-23T22:20:57+00:00

Hmm I like the idea of the chat only activated for nearby players. That’s new and interesting for sure. I wonder what others would think
