Frequently Asked Questions
What does "wipe" mean in Rust?
A wipe resets the server, clearing all player structures, inventories, and progress. Map wipes happen regularly (often weekly or monthly), and blueprint wipes reset learned recipes. Check the server wipe schedule before investing time.
What is the difference between Vanilla and Modded servers?
Vanilla servers run unmodified Rust with default rates. Modded servers use plugins to change gather rates, add teleportation, remove upkeep, and more. Modded is great for casual play; vanilla is the intended survival experience.
Is Rust a good game for solo players?
Solo play is challenging but viable. Look for solo/duo/trio servers that limit group sizes, giving solo players a fairer experience against larger groups.
Why do I keep getting raided overnight?
Rust is a 24/7 persistent world. Build smart: use airlocks, honeycomb walls, hide your base, and consider playing on servers with offline raid protection.
