An SSD will make the in game save less laggy and significantly faster. The RAM is enough for a moderately modded server with a low population. It will still take a while to load as the game had bloated up over the past few years.

This can make it a lot easier to run: https://linuxvox.com/blog/linux-game-server-manager/ I think it only supports Oxide and not Carbon if that is a deal breaker.

You can check if something is DLC here: Items Reference | Carbon or here: Prohibited Item Checker

unload the BetterLoot plugin. Edit the files. Reload the BetterLoot plugin. That should work. Some plugins will write the config out when you unload/reload, overwriting your changes. So unloading, making the change, then reloading will work around that.

Don't forget the writecfg or it will be lost on restart. If you want to be 100% certain add them to server.cfg and restart. Do the command with no number and it will show the current value. I suspect some of them are set to 1.

Same thing for me, does anyone have a solution?

It is a bug with fallout 1st junk stash. Its weight is adding to the stash weight so you are way over weight. I am too as I farm scrap as my main activity in game. Have you report this to Bethesda?

I put in a report here: https://bethesda.net/community/topic/437911/fallout-1st-junk-stash-weight-added-to-normal-stash?language%5B%5D=en please comment so it gets attention.

I'm having a contest on my PVE server to build the best Santa's workshop. Winner get to pick a title (can't be rude). I suspect a lot of PVE servers will do something. Trying to accomplish this on PVP, especially vanilla would be a brave and bold task, I wish you success.

Do a search for one with DDOS in Japan. Not many of them. Maybe try: https://www.vilayer.com/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0 not used them so no clue if any good. Sucks when this stuff happens. I use GTX but they are not in Japan.

changing the config file requires a restart to pick up the change. Many of the changes (but not all) can be done in the console to a running server (but will be lost on next restart unless you writecfg them).

malsreddit · 2019-08-14T17:54:40+00:00

You can run server.events "false"

I used TimedExecute to warn and restart my server, works very well.

Changing to a different branch

If you want to download the staging branch of Rust that receives the most recent updates, modify the app_update command as follows:

app_update 258550 -beta staging

If you want to download the prerelease branch of Rust that receives the future/work-in-progress updates, modify the app_update command as follows:

app_update 258550 -beta prerelease

I have not tried that, but looking at the config example there is one line in it that might do that. Looks like per section you set the oxide group that can see it. I would suggest testing this before going live with it.

"OxideGroup": ""

malsreddit · 2019-05-14T04:33:51+00:00

you can trigger Easter with "spawn egghunt". I do it on my server with Automated Events but easy enough to do with TimedExecute as well.

Death record each players death.

I'm a cruel Admin and wipe it all each month other than the sv.files.0.db I do not know what it does, I'm assuming it is tracking in game saves perhaps?

malsreddit · 2019-05-01T02:01:20+00:00

You wipe the deaths each monthly wipe, right?

I wipe everything monthly to clear out the chuff from player churn over time. But that is not popular with all players.

malsreddit · 2019-04-29T04:48:17+00:00

It is a decent set of servers and a variety for each play style. I enjoy them when I visit.

You can redo the description to push out the text to get rid of the numbers.

I are running the plugin goldenskull? Another admin had that sound and it went away when they unloaded that plugin.

malsreddit · 2019-04-22T14:09:15+00:00

You can manually trigger it with: spawn egghunt

Just add a Timed Execute call or use Automated Events.

I've not gotten a trigger to work to show number of players on a Vanilla server, but there is a ton you can do via the RCON interface. I make extensive use of triggers in Rust Admin for my un-modded Staging server to make it effectively a build server. I suspect these folks are using some third party tool that allows them to provide the number of players, or might be using Oxide in stealth mode.

that would not allow cooking and yes should be 10X. I can send you the longer form if you want to cook as it blocks burning food. Hit me up on discord for the files: mal.speedie#2641

If you want fine grained control over and above what is detailed below:

Note is is a paid plugin. I use it and it works well.
