      Instructions & Setup

      Getting started with Rust Server Management Tool.

      1. Download: Download the latest version from the Releases section.
      2. Installation Path: Place the program wherever you'd like.
      3. Install Server: Open the program and click the dropdown "C:\rustserver", this opens a folder dialog to select where to install (or select) your Rust Server directory/folder. Avoid using system folder paths.
        (C:\ is fine. However Maps do not work, I recommend desktop for now.)
        Once a folder is selected, click "Install Rust Server" the tool will download and install (or update) your Rust Server.
      4. Install Oxide: Once the server is installed, click "Install Oxide" to add plugin support and install Oxide.
        (You don't have to install Oxide but it's recommended for full support.)
      5. Edit Server Config: Use the "Edit Server Config" button to set your server configuration. Such as name, description, world size, and other parameters.
      6. Start Server: Click "Launch Rust Server" to start your server.
        When the server is running, the RCON tool can be used, ensure you update your default password (letmein).

      Status Meanings

      • Operational

        The tool is fully operational, and up-to-date.
        It can be used live with your server and game client without issues.

      • Degraded

        Updates are in progress on RSMT, Skins, or the website itself. Functionality might be limited or interrupted.
        Parts of the tool may not work fully, or have limited functionality due to an update.

      • Detected

        This status is strictly 'not possible' for now; as this is a server automation tool and does not alter the game client in any way.
        It would indicate Facepunch or Easy-Anti-Cheat blacklisted the tool or caused a serious issue making it a bannable offense.
