Hey there @everyone !
All of our servers are updated and wiped for the August forced wipe! If you're looking for information about any of our servers #wipe-schedule has you covered!
As this is a forced wipe with new content you will need to update your clients in order to join the server! I still see a lot of people trying to connect on the old client version.
Also, be sure to read up on this month's changes in the Dev Blog: https://rust.facepunch.com/news/trainyard-unloading
Thank you all for your continued support and we'll see you on the island!
Much love,
Moose Staff

We’re aware of the lag on EU Main. This is a combination of an SSD going bad and high thermals (likely a bad cooling unit).
We have scheduled a maintenance event with our host to get all of that replaced, but it takes time unfortunately.
In the meantime we’ve lowered pop to 300 to try and remedy the problem a bit.
Sorry for the inconvenience! We’ll get it fixed as soon as we can!
We will be launching an Official Rusty Moose Hardcore server with the forced wipe on September 1st! More details to be announced soon!
Hey @everyone !
As I’m sure many of you are aware, Facepunch is releasing Hardcore mode with the upcoming patch this Thursday, September 1st. This gamemode will have no team UI, no map or compass, no safe zones, no global chat, and much more! With the launch of this gamemode, we will be launching a Hardcore Monthly server that will be hosted in the US.
I’m excited to announce we also now have support for Credit/Debit card transactions on our VIP store powered by Stripe. If you are not familiar with how Stripe works, we do not store any of your payment details on our servers. It is all transmitted to Stripe and stored by them!
Additionally, we will be adding support for Alipay in the near future via Stripe. We are also looking into supporting iDEAL for some of our EU players that have been looking for alternative methods of payment.
Lastly, we are aware that server performance in the EU has not been holding up to our standards and expectations lately, and we are committed to improving this moving forward. With that being said, we have invested quite a bit placing orders with a couple other hosts that we are still waiting on to be delivered. As soon as we get them we’ll let you know and start rolling out those changes.
As always, thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you on the island!
Best,
Jexs
Announcement Permalink: https://moose.gg/announcement/13-new-monthly-hardcore-server-for-the-forced-wipe-on-september-1st/
Follow the following event to be notified on your phone for Force Wipe on Thursday, September 1st!
Hey @here!
Just a short little heads up before forced wipe! We launched a very early beta version of our stats tracking system on our website.
This is very much so a work in progress and there is much more to come in the hopefully not too distant future. Please know there will likely be a few bugs and we’ll need to work out the kinks as we go. This is the very early stages of this project and things are subject to change.
- There is some test data from the last ~6 hours or so we’ve had it running.
- We’ll be wiping all data at 1pm EST so everyone starts on a fresh slate this forced.
- Our system keeps historical data so in the future you’ll be able to compare your wipe to past experiences.
If you have any suggestions or feedback feel free to reach out to me directly!
Lastly, US Hardcore is launching today at 2pm EST. Come try out the new game mode if that tickles your fancy!
Much love,
Jexs

Sorry for the unexpected restarts this afternoon during prime time, everyone! Facepunch has been releasing exploit and bug fixes since forced wipe yesterday. This last one was very important and required we restart ASAP.
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience! 
Due to the server issues we've been dealing with in the US this afternoon I'm going to go ahead and postpone this until tomorrow night and go get a drink instead.
Hey EU Monthly peeps,
Sorry for the super late notice, but we'll be moving the EU Monthly machine to a new data center in about an hour or so from now. The IP will not change and everything will be right where you left it.
This should hopefully 🤞 fix or improve a lot of the lag and routing issues we've been having in Europe for some players the last couple months.
I know its not ideal having downtime this long, but it is 100% for the greater good in the long run.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best,
Jexs
EU Mini & EU Hapis are back online with their new IP. Since they changed IPs they will not appear in your history or favorites. You can find them both by searching in the Official list or direct connecting via F1 console:
connect mini.eu.moose.gg
connect hapis.eu.moose.gg
We have identified a large false positive ban wave. The anti-cheat team (EAC) are investigating and will be reverting any false bans found as soon as possible.
Our apologies if you're affected by this error.
Hey @everyone!
It is officially spooky season and another forced wipe is upon us! If you're looking for wipe information be sure to check out #wipe-schedule.
All of our servers are wiping right now and will be back up shortly! While you wait, please educate yourself on this month's changes here: https://rust.facepunch.com/news/the-lumberjack
Also, don't forget that the Spanish streamers have an event going on and have Twitch drops starting now! Check out the available drops here: https://twitch.facepunch.com
Have a good forced wipe and we'll see you on the island!
Apologies to our US/EU Mini server patrons!
There's some fuckery going on with the maps (was missing important things) and it needs to be fixed/map wiped before people get playing for hours and things get worse!
Any BPs learned should not be affected.
~~Hello @here, I promise this will be the last ping for at least a little bit. ~~
~~In partnership with Facepunch, we are doing a giveaway of 2 copies of the new Lumberjack DLC that released this forced wipe on October 6th. ~~
All of the information and rules about the giveaway can be found down in #1028787267873030195. Please be sure to read the rules before entering!
~~Thank you, love you long time. That is all for now. ~~
🪓
Congratulations to our winners @coral bronze and @rose kayak! Thank you to all who entered. We may look into doing more giveaways in the future so stay tuned for that.
Just a reminder that the new SP🎃🎃KY update is coming out today! This update will enable:
- Trick or Treat event
- Frankenstein build-a-monster pet
- New Halloween themed skins
- NPC scarecrows
- Pumpkin carving & more!
We will apply this update to all servers as it releases. All U.S. servers will be wiping at their normal scheduled time. Please check #wipe-schedule for more information.
Lastly, we have been notified that some of the changes for the Halloween event may impact server performance. We will be monitoring the servers and will make any adjustments as necessary. We would much rather drop pop by 50 rather than having to disable new features. This should only be noticeable on super high pop servers (500+) and likely the monthly servers due to their high entity count. So bear with us while we figure it all out!
Devblog about weeny things 🙂
https://rust.facepunch.com/news/halloween-2022
A new client update has been released. If you are experiencing crashes or other issues with the Halloween update please restart your games.
Looks like there is still a crash. They're working on it.
🚨We're still investigating this.🚨
If you have the time and will power please play the Staging version of Rust for me and get me some feedback? pleeeease? 🥺
Current staging build does match live rust servers so you should be able to connect to your normal server just fine.
We just released a client update in an effort to correct the recent crashes.
Please update your game on Steam and let us know if it helped!
This is the no update update.
This is the no update update again.
Maintenance went beyond the estimated window. We are at the mercy of the host finishing up the migration.
we have no ETA, sorry!
Hey! Hi! Hello!
We're here for the 2nd round of time change fuckery of the year!
UK/EU already observed time change yesterday.
NA doesn't change time till this coming weekend.
Wipe times may look a little different for some of you this week!
#wipe-schedule should auto calculate it for you but if you can't wrap your head around it just Google it 🙂

This maintenance has concluded and EU Monthly is back online.
Hey EU Moose players!
Just a heads up that EU Mondays & EU Monthly have been moved to faster hardware, but did have to get an IP change in the process!
You will need to re-add them to your favorites or search for them in the Official list!
Alternatively, you can direct connect to them with the following in F1 console:
EU Mondays
connect monday.eu.moose.gg:28015
connect 45.88.230.71:28015
EU Monthly
connect monthly.eu.moose.gg:28015
connect 45.88.230.181:28015
Thank you! 
Happy force wipe day, @everyone!

Rusty Moose Team

Looks like our host in the USA is having some network issues causing elevated latency for some users.
They have been notified and I’m sure are already working on it. Please bear with us as they figure out their global issue.
This week's limited & special edition skins are now live!
All the @Rustafied Charitable Rust 2022 skins listed are account-bound and proceeds go to @WCKitchen.
These are very exclusive and will never return to the store. Don't miss out!
Hey Moose peeps! Just wanted to follow up on our recent server maintenance.
1.) We moved NA Biweekly to better hardware to better accommodate the high player demand it has been seeing as of late. We should see noticeable performance increase and be able to raise pop if necessary. We'll entertain putting some even better hardware on order if necessary.
2.) We moved US Hardcore to a new machine and it was not configured with a moveable IP address before. So unfortunately it's IP has changed. You can find it in the official list or direct connecting via F1:
connect hardcore.us.moose.gg
See you on the island. 
I have disabled the map vote until this evening when we are able to properly supply the RustMaps.com link on the vote. All votes previously made are still there and will be there when the vote returns.
Please check back this evening to see if the vote is available.
Rust's monthly update is now live!
The big quality of life update, over 90 improvements and fixes. Rust is turning 9 years old, and Christmas is coming!
Hope you like scrolling, this is a long one.
One of our hosts in London is aware of and working on an ongoing network outage affecting a few of our servers.
We'll let you know as know more.
Just a reminder the Christmas update is today!
Any servers that are scheduled to wipe today will still do so at their normal times listed in #wipe-schedule but ***ALL ***servers will restart at 19:00 GMT / 14:00 EST to apply the Christmas update. Devblog to follow.
Also Moose map previews are disabled until further notice.
Christmas Update is going out now! Servers will restart soon to apply it you will need to update your game clients as well!
Our host is aware of the network issues affecting some of our EU servers.
They are currently looking into it. I apologize for the downtime but this one is out of our hands.
We're aware US Main is down. The host has been alerted, appears to be a physical (possible hardware) failure of some sort and a technician has been deployed to the data center.
That's all we know right now. We know this sucks and the timing couldn't be worse. Sorry 😦
Update: They pulled the machine a bit ago and we’re waiting to hear back. Will let you know as soon as we have more.
Update: They are finishing up some tests and have a few mins left. If the machine passes it’ll be reracked. Should know more shortly.
US Main is coming online pending everything is stable now. We’ll be monitoring it closely.
Hey EU Moose peeps,
One of our hosts has scheduled a maintenance event for this evening to upgrade some of our hardware.
During this time @dull moss and @round oriole will be offline but no progression will be lost.
We're expecting the downtime to be 1-2 hours so it could be a bit longer maintenance event than some in the past. Please be sure to close all doors and seal up your base in case you won't be on once it comes back up.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but these upgrades will help us provide a better experience all around.
Best,
Jexs
Event Link: https://discord.gg/moose?event=1057784936083492994
Update: We're wrapping up the upgrades and just running some major OS upgrades and tweaking OC configs. Should be up relatively soon.
This maintenance has now concluded. I apologize for the extended downtime. This was a very large effort by our host to get everything done on their end.
Thank you all for your understanding.
❤️
ATTN: @tribal hatch Players
I apologize for the last minute notice, but we have changed @tribal hatch 's IP address as this server has gotten a massive hardware upgrade.
It will no longer be in your favorites or server history. You can still search for it on the official list or direct connect with via F1.
connect main.eu.moose.gg
Have a good wipe and we'll see you on the island!

From all of us here at Rusty Moose, we would like to wish @everyone a Happy New Year!
It's surreal to think we've been doing this for nearly a decade, as Rust turned 9 this year, and yet somehow we've managed to stay mostly partly sane through it all. In all seriousness, this has been an amazing year for Rust as well as Rusty Moose and we can't wait to see what the future has in store for this game and this community. We're looking forward to trying new things and providing the best experience you can find on Rust next year!
As with tradition, here is some data I've pulled for the year 2022:
📌 842,969 Unique Players
📌 7,434,876 Play Sessions
📌 1h 54m Average Play Session Duration
📌 34,129,815 Chat Messages
📌 26,064,792 PvP Kills
📌 360,838 Cheater Reports
📌 12,235 Cheaters Banned (AVG 33.5/day)
📌 5,018 Association Bans
That's all I've got for you for now. Thank you all for your continued support. Remember to be nice to your fellow humans, hug those who mean something, and tell them you love them. As another year passes it's another reminder that nothing and no one lasts forever. In the words of Tim McGraw, always stay humble and kind.
Much love from the Moose team and we'll see you on the island.

Best,
Jexs
All US Servers are back online after maintenance. I apologize for the longer than scheduled downtime. We ran into some technical difficulties while moving some of the hardware around.
Just a heads up @round oriole players we are going to have a 1 hour rollback due to technical issues on that server.
Unfortunately this is completely unavoidable and is out of our hands. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!
Attention all <@&864894929172299806> players!
We will have some extended downtime tomorrow starting at an unknown time that we expect to last for several hours.
To give a bit of a back story, the host we were using for the majority of our EU servers is shutting down and has sold all of their hardware and clients to another provider in the same data center. Due to the time sensitive nature of this, they will be physically moving all all of the servers from one rack to the new hosts racks. They are in the same building, but it is still a lot of physical moving so we expect it to take several hours.
This was very much so a last minute thing which was announced yesterday evening. We have a decent level of confidence everything will be up and running for forced wipe on Thursday, but we are very much so playing it by ear.
I'll be sure to update here in our announcements channel with any changes to the plan. We apologize for the inconvenience this will most certainly be, but it was very unexpected and unavoidable.
If you are farming BPs on any no-bp wipe servers please research everything you want tonight in the next few hours as I cannot guarantee access to the server(s) before forced wipe on Thursday after they go offline.
All servers have been pulled and moved over to the new building. They are working on racking all of the servers (not just Moose servers) which is a very tedious process.
No ETA but it’s actively being worked on. Will let you know when I have more.
@dull moss is back online. The rest have still yet to be racked.
Please note the server bots in Discord will be offline until this evening.
@round oriole is back online as well. Note same applies as above.
Just a reminder!!
NO, you did not win a free glory AK for a giveaway you did not enter! Don't get scammed!
Report these phishing accounts to discord then block them from DMing you. They often join faster than we can ban. Just be smart.
Rust's monthly update and map wipe are now live! Servers are coming back online shortly!
RF devices have received an upgrade! Player-controlled drones, remote detonated C4, new CCTV camera and Industrial Improvements, along with the usual fixes and improvements.
Have fun!

Our March 2023 patch is now live: https://rust.facepunch.com/news/eye-in-the-sky
Rust on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/252490/Rust/
Just a heads up, Facepunch is experimenting with multi-threaded networking and we are running it on quite a few of our servers.
This has obviously caused some issues on @green fossil. We have disabled it and are rebooting the server to try and remedy the crashes. We'll know more as it comes back online.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
EU Mondays crashed it's a little broken right now working on getting it back up. Go get BPs on a non Monday server while you wait. No ETA yet. 🙂
Sorry about the crashes on EU Mondays homies. Gonna have to turn AI off on there as well due to the AI stalls.
This is a global issue every server is having to deal with until FP can fix it.
Just a reminder!! 
NO, you did not win a free glory AK for a giveaway you did not enter! Don't get scammed!

Just a heads up, it looks like there is currently a global EAC outage that is preventing players from joining any servers.
We have notified the game devs and I'm sure they're reaching out to EAC/EOS to get to the bottom of it. For now we'll just have to wait it out as there is nothing we can do to remedy it right this minute.
We're aware of a large EAC/EOS outage affecting all new incoming @playrust connections.
We've alerted them! Unsure if it's affecting more games or not at this point.
Now we just jump on one foot, tap our heads, and rub our bellies. 👍
The EAC outage appears to be largely resolved. You can try reconnecting again. 
Please be aware there are some global Steam Auth issues preventing players from being able to get into servers.
Hopefully this should be resolved soon! 🙏
This again^ Likely routine (every Tuesday) maintenance but we have no way to know with certainty. Either way it's out of ours and Facepunch's control just have to wait it out.
Just a heads up that we're aware of the crashing issues on @green fossil and we're looking into it.
Not sure yet if its an issue with the hardware or if its player caused. We'll update here once we know more. It seems to be crashing every 60-90 mins so I would expect that to continue while we investigate.
We're still looking into this. I know the crashes are getting more frequent. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Just a reminder!!
NO, you did not win a free glory AK for a giveaway you did not enter! Don't get scammed!

Hey just a heads up that we're very aware of the issues with @drowsy pond and @frosty rock and we've scheduled a hardware upgrade for these servers tomorrow.
We don't have an exact time nailed down yet, but this should substantially help with the recent lag these servers have been having.
Hey there @everyone!
As a lot of you have already noticed for the @dull moss wipe, we rolled out Wipe Pass VIP early this morning.
I know it can be a big commitment getting a month long VIP subscription to a server that you may only play 1 or 2 wipes on for the month. We're hoping this can bridge the gap for those that don't play too often but still don't want to wait in queue on the wipes they do play.
The new Wipe Passes will last for 5 days and are intended to provide VIP for a single weekly wipe. They are non-renewable and non-refundable. They'll be available for all of our weekly wipe servers as well as Monday wipe servers starting today. You'll find them during the normal checkout process at https://moose.gg/vip
Additionally, we have heard you loud and clear and we're aware of the degraded performance on some of our servers. The majority of our servers run on the fastest hardware on the market right now and we have ordered upgrades for the remainder to bring them up to speed. We should see these gains in the coming days and weeks.
As always, thank you for your continued support and we'll see you on the island!
Best,
Jexs & Moose Team
Hey all!
Just wanted to give a heads up our @green fossil server is very broken.
Appears the map and save have become corrupt. We're exploring options to revert to a backup before it broke, but it's too soon to tell what we will need to do to resolve it.
As it stands right this minute it has to sit there, broken. I recommend going to get BPs on another server in the meantime or going to touch grass.
Our other two options when we know more:
-Revert to a backup from yesterday before it broke
-Wipe it (and then wipe it again at forced)
Obviously neither of those are ideal and one is less painful than the other but they both suck.
I'll update when we know more!
Also don't get scammed by fake giveaway bots in discord.
Hey everyone,
Due to some technical issues with @green fossil, we will be wiping its map today. I know that for those of you that were still playing this month it just flat out sucks, but unfortunately we don't have another choice this time - the map is in a very broken state and is corrupted.
We will be wiping @green fossil at <t:1680116400> (<t:1680116400:R>) and it will wipe again for force wipe on April 6th. Blueprints will remain intact.
I apologize for the inconvenience for those of you still playing. We will continue to look into the save and see if we can determine what caused the corruption to prevent it from happening again in the future.

As this is going to be a very short wipe (~8 days), we're going to use a much smaller map to encourage some PvP and make it all around a bit more enjoyable for a smaller than normal playerbase compared to force wipe day.
Map: https://rustmaps.com/map/2952dc19-7a39-4e0b-a718-03e731c48964

Yes this is the 7th repost.
To follow up on this, we have determined that the corrupt map was due to a game limitation and the extremely high number of entities and activity we had on this server this month.
It has always been a limitation but was exacerbated by the recent industrial update.
We have confirmed that the devs are aware and to our knowledge are working on a fix to help prevent it in future wipes and updates. Due to the nature of this issue, rolling back to a previous remote backup wouldn't have helped as the breaking point was still just around the corner.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this caused and we'll provide the devs with any help we can to help prevent this in the future.
Best,
Moose Team
Hey everyone, we are very aware of the ongoing lag issues on our high pop servers. This seems to be an issue related to the update released today.
We, as well as every other server org are working with Facepunch to try and get to the bottom of it and get it fixed.
We apologize for the inconvenience but it is unfortunately out of our hands. We'll update you here when we have more information or a fix is being rolled out.
Update on @green fossil, the crashes appear to be unrelated to the lag issues with the update.
We believe the issue is related to bad memory (hardware fault) and we are moving that server to a standby machine as I type this.
We will have this machine back online ASAP. I apologize for the downtime.
Bringing this server up on new hardware right now. Will be up shortly pending everything is working properly.
@green fossil is back up. We will be monitoring it closely as this server has been acting a bit funny. We apologize for the downtime and inconvenience.
One BOTH of our hosts are conducting network maintenance today. You may experience periodic disconnections until it is complete.

@sweet stone Has run into some issues. Looking into it, no ETA though. Sorry! Go grab BP's on Monday while you wait 😘
Hey everyone, we're having some issues with one of our machines hosting @hard drift and @sweet stone. I apologize for the downtime and the unexpected crashes while we try to get to the bottom of it.
This is one of the machines that is being replaced very, very soon with a newer & faster machine so we're trying to limp it along until that machine is delivered to us in the coming days.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I know server issues during prime time sucks.
Sorry we've been pretty radio silent in announcements about @green fossil. We've been hard at work trying to find a way to salvage the map without having to wipe.
I'll update here shortly.
Sorry for the massive amount of fuckery today in relation to @green fossil and the map corruption and restarts, etc.
We sadly woke up to realize that the same map corruption issue that we had late last month happened again - only much sooner than expected.
After meeting with some of the game devs this morning, we determined this to be an exploit and caused by bad actors.
We had multiple very skilled people take a look at the corrupted save file but the damage was unfortunately already done.
My understanding is this has been raised on the priority list for Facepunch to fix moving forward as it will continue to happen to other servers if not addressed. We were just the guinea pig this go around.
I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. Trust me, we hate dealing with this and having to wipe on the 5th day of wipe just as much as you.
We have taken significant steps to help prevent this from happening again and I hope you'll give another wipe another go.
@green fossil wipes <t:1681236000:R> with the following map: https://rustmaps.com/map/fe5dc59f5c1e42c0849a54d4d590ab28
Thank you all for the continued support and I'm sorry about the ruined wipe.
Much love and be kind to each other. See you on the island. 
Just a heads up that we have maintenance coming up here pretty soon for @round oriole and @mint crown. Both of these servers will be offline for ~30 mins while we migrate files to their new machines. No progress will be lost.
Please note that the IPs will be changing and you may need to add them back to your Steam favorites list. Full details here: https://discord.gg/moose?event=1095913837871517706

Thank you for your cooperation while we upgrade this hardware! 
@crude hawk is back online but is unstable and we expect it to crash again at some point tonight.
Our host has scheduled a maintenance window for first thing in the morning. Here is the attached Discord event for that maintenance window when the server will be offline: https://discord.gg/moose?event=1102778992995602442
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for hanging in there! We'll have this server back up to spec in no time!
As I'm sure y'all have noticed, the box hosting @crude hawk is down bad. We have a machine on standby that we will be moving the server to this evening. This will allow our host to pull the bad machine and properly identify what is wrong with it (probably a faulty component).
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Hardware issues are no fun for us, you, or our host.
I am migrating this server's files to the new machine now. @crude hawk should be back online (and stable 🤞) soon.
Thanks for hanging in there. Love you long time. ❤️
Just as a general PSA for all of you out there.
Please, for the love of god, stop purchasing VIP for random servers and then requesting to have it transferred to a Monthly server because they are out of stock. They are out of stock for a reason.
You are not fooling anyone and we will likely start removing your ability to purchase VIP if you cannot follow simple instructions.
I wish every single person that wanted it could have it but that’s just not possible. Please stop trying to game the system.
Experiencing a total network drop on @green fossil The server itself is fine, however no one can connect to it at all. We'll have to wait this out and have the host check into it. Sorry 😢
Our host identified the issue with this server and it has been fixed. @green fossil is starting now and will be back online soon. I apologize for the downtime this morning.
Thank you all for your cooperation.
Still having some isolated network issues for a lot of Non-NA players on @green fossil working with the host to get it sorted. Sorry I know it's a huge pain 😦
Just a heads up that one of our hosts in EU has one of their network providers performing emergency maintenance in EU that may cause some instability or increases latency.
Shouldn’t last long if you’re having issues.
@here As Twitch drops begin, so do the scammers. Please be aware of phishing scams!

Hey folks! Sorry for the inconvenience but @dull moss is down for the count! No idea when it will be back up but it requires human intervention to fix. We've alerted the powers that be and now we just wait.
Will update again as we know more but it's probably going to be a few hours. thx ❤️
Update 12:22pm EST - No update
Normal Steam maintenance is taking place right now. They do it every Tuesday and it royally screws up Rust connections often. Just have to wait it out. 😦
Hello @here!
Due to the continued Steam outage causing issues for player connections across all of Rust, we are taking down all of our servers until this is resolved by Steam/Valve.
We had originally left the servers online in hopes that this would be only a few hour outage and would be fixed soon. However, we are entering the danger of player's bases not being upkept anymore and widespread knowledge of the outage which is leading to people that are able to connect mass offline raiding everyone.
We will be taking all servers offline immediately and rolling all servers back 3h from the time they go offline to account for the rampant offline raiding and unfair advantage a few players have had. They will come back online when Steam's outage is 100% fixed.
I know this isn't going to make everyone happy, but I think it is the most balanced response we can have to such a bad situation. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Best,
Jexs
@here Valve has fixed the issue and all servers are booting now.
Host is having some major connectivity issues right now affecting many Moose servers and other community/officials.
We get it, it sucks. 😦 Just have to wait for them to fix it.
Welcome to Gameserverkings's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.
Hey just a heads up we’re moving @crude hawk to a new machine as the current one is obviously very broken. Bear with us while we get it back online.
Half of our team is out of town for vacation so it’s been a rough wipe day. I apologize for the unlucky timing of this bad hardware.
Back up on new hardware. Things appear to be stable so far. Don’t quote me on it yet, though. GLHF!
EU Main and EU Mondays Upstream Provider is performing maintenance in their London data center. No eta.
Looking into US Small and Hardcore outage.
Just a heads up we ran into some major issues with @tough ore and US Hardcore.
These servers are expected to be down for likely an extended amount of time. We’ll let you know as soon as we know more and have an update.
Just a reminder that @tribal hatch is being moved to a new (and much faster) machine with a new host. The IP will be changing and may not show up in your favorites list.
You can find it in the official list or direct connect via the F1 console: connect main.eu.moose.gg:28010
Steam is still having rate limit issues. This will be a thing we have to deal with on freshly wiped higher pop servers till it gets sorted out on Steam's end.
@dull moss shit the bed. We're looking into it. Needs to be kicked a bunch. Might be a few. Go touch some grass while you wait ❤️ No ETA yet.
We weren't planning on moving thie server just yet, but due to the issues we ran in to we're just going to move @dull moss to a new machine on a new host which was scheduled for this weekend.
This new hardware is much faster and should be more stable all around. Due to this move the IP will be changing and may not show up in your favorites anymore.
You'll be able to find it in the official list or by F1 direct connect: connect monday.eu.moose.gg:28010
I'll update here shortly when the server is back online.
Steam is still having rate limit issues. This will be a thing we have to deal with on freshly wiped higher pop servers till it gets sorted out on Steam's end.
@here We're reviving Boom party tonight on US Moose Main!
Everyone is welcome! Just behave yourself!
-I give build kits, we build a village and make some shenanigans.
-I give boom kits you guys can blow each other up.
-We watch fireworks.
-We have fun.
We're currently seeing widespread Steam Authentication issues when connecting to servers.
We're looking into it and have alerted Valve. We hope to have a resolution ASAP.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We're having to restart @green fossil one last time.
It'll be back up and good to go for wipe in just a few mins.
Okay starting for a 3rd time. Restored blueprints from a backup. I apologize for the issues. I'll give a postmortem on the issues today later on.
As I’m sure you noticed there is some major stability issues with some of our servers this month.
We are looking into it but I can’t make any promises just yet. We’ll likely try new hardware later tonight as it becomes available.
Sorry for the rough wipe day, dudes.
Hey y’all, it looks like the current lag is due to one of the upstream providers of our host. Unfortunately this provider is used by almost every Rust host and most servers are affected right now.
No ETA on a fix but it usually doesn’t last too long.
Hey just a heads up that all of this lag appears to be an ISP issue. Spectrum/Charter seem to be having some major routing/network issues causing increased latency and packet loss for many players across our servers.
Unfortunately there isn't much we can do except wait it out until your ISP gets it fixed. If you have a VPN you can try connecting through that, but there are no guarantees.
We apologize for these issues but unfortunately it is out of ours and our hosts control.
Hey guys, sorry for the instability of @tribal hatch this wipe. We know how frusrating it is. We're looking at getting a machine replacement for that server ASAP as we believe its hardware related. For now we may have to deal with the crashes for a few.
Boom party starting now! US Moose Main @ d22.
I'll be passing out build kits to build w/e you want then we'll blow each other up!
Yes, we're aware of the network outage on some US servers. It seems to be host wide affecting many servers. We've alerted them and its being looked into.
We're aware of the connectivity issues on @dull moss. We've identified the issue and are working to resolve it.
This should be resolved. GLHF!
Hi. Hello. Howdy.
Just wanted to mention that we opened our appeals again via #ban-appeal. If you submit your appeal in the next 12 hours then it'll definitely be seen before forced.
Please note this is a brand new system and bound to have some bugs. Bear with us while we iron it out.
Just a heads up, we're aware that homing/seeking missiles are bugged on certain servers. This is a FP bug that made it through testing.
They have already committed a fix for it and we just have to wait until they can release an update for it. Nothing we can do on our end unfortunately. I'm guessing it'll be fixed tomorrow morning or Monday but we'll see.
We are rolling out restarts to all our servers to apply a slew of updates Facepunch pushed out this morning.
Please update your game clients while you wait!
It's Tuesday innit. Normal routine Steam maintenance is taking place today (and every Tuesday till we all die). It affects different regions at different times of the day and goes on for most of the day. You may see some auth timeout issues just have to wait it out. GL HF
@here Sorry about the issues with @tribal hatch and the delayed wipe today. We ran into some server hardware issues right at wipe (go figure) but we believe they have been fixed.
@tribal hatch is starting up now for a fresh wipe.
Thanks for your understanding!
I've been posting about it in #moosepublic quite a bit, but we are aware of the connectivity issues a subset of users are having on our <@&864894726117130240> servers. This seems to be isolated to mostly East coast players and our host is aware. This appears to be affecting all of their customers, unfortunately.
They have been exploring the issue and trying to get it figured out on their end. I'm sorry for the bad experience but it is out of our hand at this time. If we get any updates we'll be sure to pass them along.
Rust monthly update is going live now!
All servers will be restarting and updating shortly. Yes you will need to update your game clients in order to connect so don't just flail around like this is your first day on the internet 🙂

For you noobs that don't know what the Konami code is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konami_Code
The Konami Code (Japanese: コナミコマンド, Konami komando, "Konami command") is a cheat code that appears in many Konami video games, although the code also appears in some non-Konami games.
During the title screen before the game demo begins, the player could press the following sequence of buttons on the game controller to enable the cheat:
↑↑↓↓←→←→BA
The code has also found a place in popular culture as a reference to the third generation of video game consoles. The code is also present as an Easter egg on a number of websites.

Our host is taking down US Monthly to look into the issues it has been having. This is estimated to take a few hours, will update when we get a more exact ETA.
Just a heads up that we're aware of the new EU weekly maps not matching the map preview. We rolled out some changes to our wipe automation system this forced and it's been causing some issues like wipe delays and wrong map selection.
This is something we're aware of and actively working on addressing now. Moving forward the map preview should be accurate and wipes will be on time. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Just talked with the tech working on @green fossil - making progress but still seeing some errors. They've been actively working on it and hopefully won't be too much longer.
@green fossil is back up. Apologize for the downtime but it was a necessary evil to try and get to the bottom of all the recent crashes.
It should be mentioned:
In order to know if the host's hardware fixes were foolproof, they would have had to run tests ALL NIGHT - meaning, the server would not be back up and playable till tomorrow morning.
Given it's been down so long today we're kind of yolo'ing it back online.
It's being monitored and if the crashes continue we'll revisit.
From all of us here at Moose, Happy Thanksgiving to all those that celebrate @here. I hope you all have a great day and get to spend it with friends and family.
Life’s short so make an effort to spend a bit more time with the family and those that matter today.
Our staff may be a bit slower to respond today to support and messages in public channels but reports are being monitored as always.
Love y’all! Have a good turkey day! 🦃 
Just a friendly reminder to all that November is a 5 week Rust month. Force wipe is not until December 7th and is still a week away.
As always when this happens, our biweekly wipe servers will wipe for a 1 week wipe and then wipe again on force wipe next week for their normal 2 week wipe rotation. More information about wipes can always be found in #wipe-schedule!

Hi there @everyone!
Facepunch has made the decision to retire the hardcore gamemode moving forward and will be removing it with the December update.
To replace our current hardcore server we will be once again reviving our beloved Hapis server! This is by far the most polished version of Hapis made to date and will really take you back to the classic so many of us loved with some modernization improvements!
This new Hapis server will have:
- Biweekly Map Wipes
- No BP Wipes
- High Player Cap
- 8 Team UI
- Map Preview
You can find it in the Official list after the update on December 7th!
Additionally, we have heard you loud and clear about connectivity issues in Europe. We’ve been working tirelessly with our host to get these issues resolved, and in just the last few days have identified and fixed some major issues. We will monitor things closely on this and continue to work tirelessly to provide you the best experience we possibly can.
Thank you all for your continued support and I’ll see you on the Hapis Island!
Best,
Jexs & Moose Team

We're looking into the issues with @green fossil and @round oriole. They're starting up now but unsure how stable they are still.
@green fossil appears to be stable for now. We're monitoring it closely.
Looking into @round oriole as its dealing with a separate issue.
These issues were identified by our host and patched.
Additionally, we're tracking an internal bug that causes a server crash in certain scenarios. We should have that fixed very soon and things will be smooth sailing again.
Network issues for most of the NA servers right now: https://status.gameserverkings.com/
I promise you will be ok but we're sorry you can't play your favorite game of all time for a few minutes ❤️
Welcome to Gameserverkings's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.
Hi hello hola.
We of/c are aware that @green fossil isn't too full of holiday spirit at the moment. We're trying to cheer it up.
We're trying the usual suspects like AI and the new ragdolls. Might have to deal with a few more crashes before we get it stable. I know its frustrating. It is for us too. 🙃 Be kind to your fellow humans and go for a walk and see the sun for the first time this month or something.
Much love.
EDIT: Looks like things are stable after disabling AI. We will attempt to reenable at next server restart.
We're aware of the "Verify ID token InvalidParameters" issue that started ~30 mins ago. This is unfortunately an issue on EAC's end and nothing we can do on our end. We have reached out to FP and hopefully it'll be addressed soon.
This appears to be a global issue and not server specific.
We'll update when we have more info.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our Moose family to yours!
I hope Santa brought you everything you wanted and I hope y’all have a great day!
Friendly reminder to put the headset down and enjoy time with the family. Don’t take life for granted and enjoy the time you’ve got.

Servers are currently wiping with today's update! Devblog is live!
https://rust.facepunch.com/news/surviving-a-decade
If you're getting Steam Auth timeout errors please restart your Steam client.
We're aware of the increased packet loss impacting a small portion of our players. We're communicating with our host to get to the bottom of it.
Update on the above^^ host indicated it was something specific to a few regions/ISPs and it was also out of their control. It may be cleared up this morning but only time will tell.
With that said, the EAC corrupt backend kicks are still very much a real thing and very much annoying. Facepunch has been working with EAC to try and figure out what's causing it but till they nail it down we just have to deal with it.
https://fxtwitter.com/ErrnieGerrn/status/1733160516216857067
Update on the lag/ping/rubberbanding issues on our US servers:
Host is working with ISPs to try and resolve it. Stay tuned!
Regional US server outage appears to be related to the above.
Connections appear to be slowly resolving themselves. Restart your Steam completely if you're still getting auth timeouts.
EU region having a complete network outage at the moment we're checking into it.
Most of EU is back up, Biweekly still having some issues and we're working on it.
Hello doods!
All servers have wiped for the February update! You can catch up on any changes this month by reading the blog post here: https://rust.facepunch.com/news/bags-to-riches
Also, keep in mind the update is a big one this month due to some texture changes, so be sure to start the update ASAP!
Have a great wipe and we'll see ya on the island!

Sorry about the short downtime with @river skiff. This wipe introduced a new bug that is corrupting map saves. We’re attempting it get it fixed up right now so that we have no data loss.
Facepunch is also aware and will be hopefully fixing the cause of these corrupt maps soon.
Hang in there and we’ll be back ASAP!
Edit: @river skiff is back online and I believe we restored the save without losing too much data (other than paintings/signs). Let us know if you run into any issues!
https://twitter.com/playrust/status/1753473902049722721
Verify your game files to ensure you capture the latest build.
Completely exit Steam
Right-click on the shortcut which you use to launch Steam
Select "Run as Administrator" <---- Important part
From the Library section, right-click on Rust and select Properties from the menu.
Select the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache button.
Steam will then verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
Once the process is completed, the you will be notified of how many files failed the verification and will be reacquired.```
Major network outage across multiple regions. Host has acknowledged it and is looking into it. Out of our hands at this point, sorry. 😦 No ETA.
Go for a quick walk or something.
Looks like things are recovering. All servers should be up as of now. We’re monitoring for stability.
Hi there Moosers!
All of our servers are wiped & updated! Be sure to educate yourselves with the latest changes in the Devblog! Be sure to check out #wipe-schedule for server information and #vip-help if you want to skip the queue!
Have a great wipe and we'll see you on the island!

Also just a heads up, AI got left off on @green fossil by accident due to some complications from last wipe. It will be turned back on after the next restart.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Also there's a performance issue going on with all high pop servers right now. Working with Facepunch to try and nail it down and find a speedy resolution.
~~Hey, our host is aware of the global outage/issues they're experiencing right now with their network. ~~
They are working on it as we speak. We'll let you know when things are stable again or when we get more information. You can expect connection to the servers to be very unstable at the moment, though.
Edit: This appears to be resolved on their end.
I apologize for the extended maintenance on @green fossil. It is taking a bit longer than initially expected.
We’re working with our host to get upgrades done as fast as we can!
Just as an update to this:
We have identified a major issue that occurred during maintenance this morning and is still not yet fixed. We're going to go ahead and boot up the server for the time being, as we're having to wait on the availability of our host to pull the machine and get it fixed.
Performance may be degraded for however long it takes to get it pulled and fixed by a tech. We apologize for all the downtime and we've learned a lot of lessons today to help avoid this for future maintenance on this and our other servers.
Love y'all. See you back on the island soon.
Hi there @here!
All servers are wiped and coming back online now. This month has a ton of changes with a ton more right around the corner. You can check it all out here.
We have rolled out a fix for saddle vendors being broken in outpost.
If you're looking to skip queue and support us you can pick up VIP here and you can view server specific information in #wipe-schedule
Hope you all have a great wipe and we'll see you on the island!

We're aware of the lag spikes happening on a regular interval and are currently investigating them. We'll let you know as soon as we have more information.
Update: I've identified the issue that shipped with the patch this month and have just deployed a fix. The lag spikes every few mins should be gone now. Sorry for the inconvenience! Have a great rest of your wipe day!
We just released a client update that resolves the quirky sound problem! Verify your game files on Steam if you don't see it right away. 🤝
We're aware of the VIP issues on @crude hawk! We have a fix we're just verifying it before we deploy it. It will unfortunately require a restart but no progress will be lost. We'll issue a restart timer soon.
Looks like our backend just had a little hiccup that caused all of our servers to crash! We are rolling out a fix right now that should prevent this from happening again in the future and ensuring that we handle it more gracefully!
Sorry for the inconvenience! We'll be back up soon!
Hi, hello, and g'day @everyone!
With another month comes another force wipe! All of our servers are wiping and booting up now! You can find any information about them in #wipe-schedule! If you're looking to skip the queue you can grab yourself a VIP here!
While you're updating and waiting to load in, be sure to educate yourself on all of the changes in this month's devblog! There is lots of juicy stuff in there!
Have a great force wipe and we'll see you on the island!

We're aware of the outage on @green fossil and have our top Moose on it. We'll have it back up ASAP!
Hey we're aware of the issues on @civic pivot. Looks like something that is out of our control that we're working with our host to resolve. We don't currently have an ETA but we'll try to get it up ASAP. We'll update here if we have any more information.
@civic pivot back online.
@green fossil is down for hardware maintenance by the host. No ETA on when it will be back up but they're working as fast as they can.
@shadow maple had a stroke, we're looking into it. Have it back up as soon as humanly possible.
We're very aware of the lag issues on @crude hawk. We believe this to be a hardware issue with a dying SSD. We're working to get it fixed ASAP and we'll update when we know more.
For now I've spaced the saves a bit more to help alleviate the impact. Sorry for the inconvenience!
The maintenance we had done appears to not have addressed the root cause. We're continuing to work on this and should have a fix in the morning US time. I apologize for the occasional lag spikes in the mean time.
Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll get this server processing 1's and 0's properly again ASAP.
Looks like more outages while they work to fix issues caused by the power outage today. We’ll be back online ASAP.
Salutations nerdlings!
Rust's monthly update and map wipe are now live!
Servers will be restarting for the update shortly and you WILL need to update your game clients in order to connect.

Wanted to address two recurring issues:
-5 min queue spot saver buffer thing is quirky and not working as intended. FP is checking into it and may release some updates for it with time. Currently it makes max pop and queues look weird and not as functional as we like.
-One of the fishing village vendors is completely broken. FP issued a fix but currently that fix requires a map wipe (which we're not doing). They're exploring options to find a fix that won't require a wipe.
Both issues we just have to ride out. Sorry!
We're working on getting the rest of our EU servers online. Sorry for the inconvenience this morning! Looks like Steam was having some issues which got our servers into a bad state and couldn't update. Should be back up soon™️.
We've started the process to restart and update all Moose servers to apply a mandatory update from Facepunch. YOU WILL NEED TO UPDATE YOUR GAME CLIENTS!!
https://x.com/playrust/status/1809588243995762939
Update broke a few backend systems for us, we're working on it just hang tight.
More update: No update - still trying to fix. Many server orgs ran into issues with the update.
For those of you late to the party wondering what happened earlier here's the tl;dr
We're aware of the intermittent lag/disconnects on @green fossil. We're looking into it. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Happy Force Wipe @everyone!
We are wiping the map on all of our servers and blueprints on our weekly wipe servers! Check out #wipe-schedule for more information about our wipe schedule. If you'd like to skip the queue be sure to grab yourself VIP!
While you're waiting for your game to update, be sure to educate yourself of this month's changes.
Hope you all have a great wipe day! As always, we'll see you on the island!

We're currently in the middle of replacing some hardware for @green fossil hoping to fix some of the issues you have been experiencing. I'll update this when it's back up!
https://discord.gg/moose?event=1271151433299005490
Monthly is back up. Just a heads up, the IP did change! You need to F1 connect to join or find it in the official list!

connect 205.178.168.52
Had a slight hiccup with @shadow maple during wipe. It'll be up ASAP.
Morning ya'll. @tough ore had a stroke and requires human intervention from the host to get it sorted. They have already been alerted and dispatched someone to jiggle things.
It might be offline for a few go shower or do laundry or something 🙂 We'll post here when we have the all-clear.
@tough ore is back up GL HF
Hey guys, thanks for your patience during our server maintenance today! This is just a friendly heads up that our IPs on @shadow maple and @crude hawk have changed.
This just simply means that they might not show up in your history tab in the server browser. You can still find them on the official list or by direct connecting using the following:
connect main.us.moose.gg
connect monday.us.moose.gg
You can find more server information in #wipe-schedule.
Thank you for your continued support. Have fun and we'll see you on the island!

Heads up steam is having issues this morning!
It appears @Steam is experiencing some global issues at the moment that could affect your Rust connections. We are monitoring the situation and hoping for a speedy resolution.

Hey Moosers!
Today we're finally introducing our proper map voting system that will be used to select maps for all servers moving forward.
You can consider this a beta release and it is all very much so subject to change. We may experiment with new features and/or tweak certain settings over the months while we figure out what works best.
If you run into any major bugs feel free to reach out to me in DMs and explain it with as much detail as you can.
You can find all of the details in #map-vote-info. For now, map voting will live on our beta site. Be sure to get your votes in before force wipe tomorrow!
Much love,
Jexs


Had a very minor data bug that was showing wrong votes earned for @mint crown and @civic pivot players. This is now fixed. Thanks to those that reported it.
Happy wipe day ya'll!
Servers will be going down shortly for their restarts/wipes. Please ensure you're updating your game clients or you will not be able to connect!
You can check out all the update contents here: https://rust.facepunch.com/news/time-to-kill
GL HF
This update appears to have changes that broke some of our @shadow maple specific plugins that require custom monuments to work. We're working on it and will get it up ASAP.
I put some info in #1187532876883963956. We're going to go ahead and launch it for now and while we work on fixing the Hapis specific plugins.
Also, FP looking into the weird freezing/hitching. It's a global issue for many players right now. Might see a hotfix for it.
We acknowledge some performance issues that recently sprung up! If you're getting some hitching or freezing please know we are checking into it.
Hope to have a fix out as soon as possible.
Restarting all servers right now to apply a hotfix from Facepunch. Please restart your games and grab the client update as well.
We believe the hitching/freezing issue to be resolved as of this post but it will require a game restart to take effect.
Please restart your game clients if you were affected.
Sorry for any trouble!
Hi @everyone! Sorry for the ping, I'll try to be quick!
With the upcoming changes to world generation and the pending removal of some old prefabs, we’ve made the hard decision to shutdown @shadow maple at the end of this current wipe on September 19. Hapis Island has had many ups and downs, but I think it’s time to put it out to pasture. I know many of us have some of our best Rust memories on that island.
Fortunately, it’s not all bad news! With the retirement of @shadow maple, we are very happy to bring back one of our OG servers: @carmine flame. We’ll be doing a soft launch of @carmine flame this coming Thursday, September 19th.
Rusty Moose |US Low|
- Map Wipes: Biweekly
- Blueprint Wipes: Never
- Map Size: 3500
- Team UI: 6
- Max Pop: 200-250
Thank you all for your continued support! We’ll see you on the island!
Best,
Jexs

TL;DR @shadow maple is shutting down and we're bringing back one of our cult classics: @carmine flame.
For some reason Discord is doing Discord things and the bot in our previous announcement is named "US Hardcore" instead of "US Low" for some people.
I just want to clarify that the new server launching today will be Rusty Moose |US Low| which is a 250 pop biweekly map wipe with no blueprint wipes. We have no plans to bring back hardcore at this time. Please see the original announcement for more details: #announcements message
We're restarting @shadow maple as the server is suffering from a memory leak. This is an issue with the game that many high pop servers area dealing with. Sorry for the inconvenience.
We're moving @drowsy pond to new hardware shortly. I apologize for having to do it during peak time, but it's just how it works out sometimes as we have to coordinate with our host during these moves.
This new hardware will improve performance all around. Expected downtime of ~10-15 mins.
@civic pivot appears to have had a hardware fault. We've contacted our provider and will get it fixed and online ASAP. Currently no ETA as we're relying on remote hands for assistance.
I apologize for the inconvenience!
Remote hands are still working on debugging the broken machine for @civic pivot.
In the meantime, we're attempting to spin the server up using our latest remote save on a backup node. This should at least get the server back up while they fix it's usual machine.
One of our providers is performing some scheduled maintenance tonight migrating all of their servers to a new datacenter. It will result in multiple hours of downtime for US Main, US Mondays, and US Monthly.
Unfortunately it is unavoidable and out of our hands. The maintenance is scheduled for 12am - 8am CST, but it could be shorter. We'll run announcements on the servers before the maintenance starts so everyone can make sure their doors and shut and they are inside.
Host has informed us the maintenance has been extended. No ETA yet we'll update when we know more and can bring them back online.
Update on @shadow maple, @crude hawk, and @green fossil
We have secured a few new machines from our main provider. We're in the process of getting them finalized and handed off and configured. We're looking to boot all 3 servers back up around <t:1727614800> or so.
Since we will be restoring these servers from remote backups some things will be lost. All signs/artwork will be wiped and all Rust+ connections will be wiped including any smart alarms/switches that were configured. I know this isn't ideal, but I'd much rather get the servers back online so y'all can enjoy your Sunday.
Additionally, any blueprints you learned from the last server boot will be lost. This is because we can only backup blueprints when the server isn't running and that job runs during the server boot process. The vast majority of people won't be affected by this.
Hey @here,
@shadow maple and @green fossil are back online with our latest remote backup we had saved. Please read this update for information on what this entails: #announcements message
We're still waiting for the new machine that'll run @crude hawk to be delivered and configured. Once we have it we'll get Mondays up ASAP as well.
Please keep in mind all IPs have changed for these servers and they may not show up in your history and favorites tab. You can join with the following F1 commands:
connect main.us.moose.gg
connect monthly.us.moose.gg
Again, we are so sorry for the downtime. Unfortunately it was out of our control and you can read more about it here if you'd like some more context about what went wrong: #moosepublic message
Thank you all for your understanding during this absolute nightmare. We'll see you on the island.

@crude hawk is now booting on new hardware as well using our latest remote backups. Please refer to this announcement for more information: #announcements message
Please note the IP has changed and may not be in your history or favorites tab. You can find it in the Official list or direct connect using the following command:
connect monday.us.moose.gg
Unfortunately I've got a bit of bad news.
Facepunch is still actively working on fixing a ton of bugs with the new map generation and we cannot use any of the maps we have generated so far. They all have floating rocks, road/train bugs, etc.
With that being said we unfortuantely have to postpone map voting until we can get some more maps generated. There is no current ETA and we'll do the best we can do. With this being such a massive update there is a lot of moving parts and things getting patched at the last minute.
We'll update when we have more information, but I would expect the map vote to be very late, if we're able to have one at all.
Map votes have been posted. The votes will be active until <t:1727974800>. Check #map-vote-info for more information.
We're aware of the VIP problems and we're looking into it.
We have identified the problem with VIP and a number of other systems. This will unfortunately require a restart to fix. We are verifying we have it fixed before running the restart.
We'll know more very shortly.
@round oriole had the infamous memory leak that has been plaguing Rust servers. It'll be back up in just a few mins. I think we managed to get a save off before it crashed fully so hopefully no progress will be lost.
@crude hawk has indeed shit the bed. Looks like the hardware went on strike. We're fixing it, we have a backup server we're moving it to. Hang tight we'll have it back online asap!
tl;dr we're fixing our fucking server 
@crude hawk is coming back up on backup hardware now.
F1: connect 205.178.168.52:28010
US Monthly is back online after the network outage. I apologize for the inconvenience!

We're aware of the bug with players being stuck in wounded state. This will require a restart to fix, unfortunately.
We will give plenty of a heads up when this happens.
Hello hola hallo salve hej hei privet.
I've added some new stats to our stats page that have been recording since this past force wipe on November 7th.
The new tabs are:
- Gambling
- Recycling
- Vehicle
- Vehicle Combat
We also added cars shredded to the PvE tab and green/blue/red keycard uses to the Loot tab.
Overall, there are 37 new metrics available for you to compare with your friends or foes. I tried to limit it to things that are actually somewhat interesting. Our goal isn't to track every single action you do on the server - just some fun or useful insight to your gameplay.
I've also done some optimization which significantly speeds up the data load times across the board. Let me know if there are any other stats you'd like to see tracked in the future and we'll consider it. We have lots of future plans to continue evolving our stats system long term!
Much love,
Jexs & Moose Team

We're aware of the stability issues on @shadow maple and apologize for the inconvenience. We will be scheduling maintenance with our host to get the OC adjusted on that machine as it's causing unexpected crashes.
If it happens again tonight we'll try to expedite it.
We're having to restart US Main due to the infamous memory leak that all servers have been dealing with for months. It's just really really unlucky we've gotten it multiple times today. Unfortunately this is something only FP can fix, and until then we're stuck with dealing with it.
We'll have it back up ASAP.
Well we have yet another memory leak. This one is about 2x more aggressive than the last. We're going to have to restart again. 
I promise you that we're doing everything we can do make FP aware of the issue and prioritize getting it fixed.
As you can see from the screenshot below, we had an OC stability related crash @ 17:12 (see #announcements message) and we restarted @ 18:58 to avoid crashing from the memory leak. Now we'll have to restart before it crashes yet again.
I'm sorry guys, but this is a bug in the Rust server software and is not organization specific.
Update: Starting restart timer.
We're going to try and get the OC adjusted while it's down. Today is already fucked enough. We'll see if we can limit the crashes moving forward (pending we don't get another memory leak). We'll have it up ASAP.
Still waiting on remote hands to get the machine up. Something went south with the last memory leak and the machine is stuck in a bad state.
Just have to wait for them.
All moose servers are updating for wipe right now and will be back up shortly! Make sure your game clients are updated or you will not be able to connect!
You can see all the changes this month in the devblog!
GL HF
Obviously US Main is pretty fucked and has crashed multiple times since wipe. We believe it's an OC issue on the machine. We'll be taking it down for our host to address the issue and get it stable again.
It will require some downtime but hopefully not too long. We'll run a restart timer before we do.
To clarify, we do not expect it to take 2h. But this kind of thing is not 100% predictable.
Back up! Hopefully their changes helped. If not, we'll work on a more long term solution.
Host has identified the part that is (most likely) causing the issues on the US Biweekly machine and have put in a service request for remote hands to swap it out. It's late so things move a bit slower, but they're working on it.
We'll update as soon as we know more. Hopefully shouldn't be too long but you never know with this type of stuff.
Unfortunately this is taking way longer than we had hoped. No clue what is going on as it's a 3rd party contractor doing the work.
Our host will have someone from their staff going in soon if this doesn't get sorted. So fingers crossed. Unfortunately this is completely out of our hands.
Morning Moosers!
The Rust Christmas event update hits later today! 19:00 GMT / 14:00 EST
It will be on Facepunch timeline, meaning we are REQUIRED to restart all servers to apply the update regardless of when a server is scheduled to wipe or how many people are in queue.
You will need to update your game clients when it happens. No, it's not a wipe.
Can find Moose's wipe schedule here: https://discord.com/channels/116010036085391369/733139223892328478
Applying Christmas patch now, started a countdown on all servers for restart - Update your game clients!
Map votes are now available for all servers wiping tomorrow, December 19th.

@hard drift has shit the bed. We're looking into it but it's gonna be a few as we have to get outside forces involved and well...it's Christmas week.. Maybe an hour? we're not 100% sure. Sorry 😦

Hi @everyone!
I just wanted to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Moose family to yours!
I hope Santa brought each and every one of you an RTX 5090 and a 9800X3D. 🎅

EU Mondays is back up. You may have to direct connect for a bit until it shows up in the browser properly. In F1:
connect monday.eu.moose.gg
As of this morning EAC is blocking the use of Reshade. More info here:
We're aware of the network issues on @drowsy pond and are investigating.
Working with our provider we have identified the issue causing these issues.
We have made a few adjustments as a stopgap that should prevent this particular issue moving forward. Our provider is working on a more permanent solution that should be in place soon.
Lunar New Year content is coming out shortly. ALL servers will be restarted when it arrives. You will need to update your game clients as well.
US Servers scheduled to wipe today will still wipe at their normal time. #wipe-schedule
Servers will be restarting shortly to apply Lunar update. Update your game clients!
Just for sake of transparency, we're aware that a lot of Eastern and some Southern European players have been dealing with increased latency and packet loss.
This has been identified as an outage at one of Cloudflare's major backbone locations in Europe and is actively being worked on. We do not currently have an ETA but will update if we get more information.
Unfortunately this one is completely out of our hands and we're at the mercy of Cloudflare's network engineers.
We're aware of the network outage on some of our servers. One of our providers is having some issues but is aware and investigating.

One of the major providers for half the Rust server list is having some outages this morning. This is affecting multiple Moose servers and may disconnect you or prevent you from reconnecting.
The host is aware and they are working on a resolution. They thought they had it fixed 15 minutes ago but appears to still be happening and we're waiting for more feedback. You can follow along here: https://status.as30456.net/cm76fpl170016eqct6zqk4le7
We know, it's sucks, we're trying to "fix our fucking shit server". 🙂
Looks like @sweet stone had a hardware fault of some sort. We're looking into it. No current ETA but we'll update as soon as we know more.
Update: The cooling unit failed on @sweet stone's machine and cannot be fixed in a timely fashion. We will be pulling remote backups of the map and blueprints and bringing it back up on another machine. Should be booting back up within 30 mins or so.
Final Update: @sweet stone is now back online.
Due to restoring from remote backups, the artwork on all signs will be wiped and all Rust+ connections will be gone and you'll have to reconnect.
Please note the IP changed so it may not show in your history tab. You can direct connect using:
connect small.eu.moose.gg
Please let me know if there are any major issues aside from the slight rollback.
Sorry about the delayed EU wipe today. We identified a small bug in our map voting and auto wiping system preventing the wipe to trigger under certain circumstances.
This is being fixed ASAP and won't affect any future wipes. Have a good wipe day!
We're aware that there is some major network fuckery going on for some players. This appears to be some global issues with GTT, one of the major Tier 1 network providers.
This will likely be resolved soon as GTT is generally pretty fast to react to major issues like this. This one is out of our hands.
If you're not experiencing any issues then nothing to worry about.
We do not know the status of Premium servers yet.
This is all up to Facepunch and we will know more in the upcoming 48 hours.
Watch this space for further updates.
Also no plans (as of now) for a forced BP wipe.
Hey @everyone,
I know there is a lot of interest in the new Premium mode launching this Thursday, March 6th. I'm very happy to announce we'll be launching an official US based Premium server this coming force wipe.
Rusty Moose |US Premium Main|
- Weekly Map
- No BP Wipes
- High Pop Limit
You'll be able to find it in the browser or direct connect after the update is released on Thursday: connect main.us-premium.moose.gg
Please keep in mind this is a very experimental new system by Facepunch. So with that said, everything related to the premium servers is subject to change.
Thank you for your continued support and we'll see you on the island!
Best Regards,
Jexs

Hey @everyone,
Due to some last minute kinks that need to get ironed out, Facepunch has decided to postpone the Premium servers globally for a week (subject to change).
With that being said, @amber wadi will be put on the back burner for the time being and will launch as soon as the feature is available.
More information here: https://x.com/Alistair_McF/status/1897572464059723984
All other servers will operate and wipe at their normal times as posted in #wipe-schedule.

Update on Premium servers - Unfortunately we're postponing the release to next week. Todays content patch will be released as normal - it's a big one!
The reasoning for the delay of Premium servers is ensuring on release the backend systems are able to sustain the load. We have
Rust's monthly patch and server wipe are now live!
The Crafting Update
This months update is a feast of changes, new ways to cook and craft, pet chickens, bees and pies, Armor inserts, optimizations and so much more.
All Moose servers are slowly coming back up now. Have a good wipe!

Sorry for the ping, @here. Should be the last one for awhile.
Friendly reminder that Daylight Savings Time went into effect today in the US and Canada.
If you are playing on a server from a different region which you live, wipe times may be different for you. Refer to #wipe-schedule to get the wipe times in your local time zone.
Servers will still wipe at the "normal time" for their respective regions.
EU will be observing DST on March 30th and things will go back to normal.

US Medium is having hardware issues and unfortunately it’s the middle of the night on a slow night so support responses are very delayed.
We’ll let you know as soon as we have an ETA but I would expect a couple hours of downtime. I know it’s not ideal but it’s the cards we were dealt for this one. We’ll have it back up ASAP.
This machine was completely bricked. We are bringing Medium back up on a standby machine just to get it back online until a full replacement can be built.
@river skiff is back online. Sorry about the extended downtime. We'll have a replacement machine built for it in no time.
Premium servers are confirmed for tomorrow. You can view more information in our previous announcement here: #announcements message
The map vote is also available if you're interested in playing! Cast your vote here: https://beta.moose.gg/map-voting/us-premium-main
There will be a server AND client update today at 19:00 UTC. You will have to update your games in order to reconnect after the Premium Server update hits.
Scroll up if you want to know details about Moose Premium.
For those of you with questions about Premium servers, here is some more information from Facepunch.
We're aware of the connectivity issues to some of our servers. Our host is aware and is investigating the issues. We'll update as soon as we know more.
It looks like things are mostly recovering. We'll be monitoring it closely.
Dropping a note here because we're getting asked every few minutes about additional Premium servers.
As of right now Facepunch is regulating all the officials and Premium tags they're allow to have. Right now we just get the one @amber wadi.
This entire Premium server project is an experiment and as time goes by if it shows good results it's possible we may be able to expand on it in the future. But as of right now it's just the one server. In the event we can do more we'll 400% announce it here as soon as we can.
More info from FP here: https://rust.facepunch.com/news/premium-servers
For troubleshooting your premium status, help article here: https://support.facepunchstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/25840924689693-Premium-Servers
Hey @everyone!
Starting immediately, we will no longer be wiping blueprints on any of our servers.
We have spent a lot of time discussing this internally, and it is not a decision we make lightly. After all, we have been wiping blueprints monthly on our weekly servers for over a decade now.
Over the years, the game has changed drastically and the cost to research all items in the game has increased substantially. This has made it near impossible for casual players to experience all that the game has to offer.
I cannot stress enough that this is an experimental change and is in no way set in stone. We know that not everyone will like this change but I hope you'll give it a shot. We'll give it a few months and revisit. As with all things in rust, this is subject to change.
We'll see you on the island!
Best,
Jexs

TLDR: All of our servers no longer wipe BPs. Experimental feature. Subject to change.
Hey @everyone! Couple big things changing this coming force wipe on May 1st.
First and foremost, we will be changing US Monthly, US Biweekly, and EU Main to Premium status. The experiment on US Premium Main has gone very well and we're confident these highly competitive servers will thrive as well!
If you do not currently qualify for Premium status, I'd suggest picking up some item packs as they're the biggest bang for your buck!
Additionally, with the success that US Premium Main has seen, we will be retiring the non-premium US Main before this coming force wipe.
Lastly, we will be launching EU Low on May 1st to bring balance back to the server roster. 
EU Low
- Map Wipes: Biweekly
- BP Wipes: No BP Wipes
- Max Players: 300
- Team UI: 6
Thank you all for your continued support and we'll see you on the island!
Best,
Jexs

TLDR: US Monthly, US Biweekly, and EU Main to Premium. Non-premium US Main being retired. EU Low launching May 1st.
We've received overwhelming feedback about EU Main and we hear you loud and clear. We realize that we missed the mark and EU Main is moving back to non-Premium effective immediately.
There just simply isn't enough EU players that qualify for Premium currently.
Best,
Jexs

All Moose servers are updated and online! Check out this month's changes while you load!
https://rust.facepunch.com/news/nerfed-buffed-balanced
Have a good force wipe!
Hey gang. Looks like US Monthly really did not save at all since yesterday's last restart, which sadly also means there are no backups to rollback to.
We're very sorry. 😦
The server is back up with the latest save it has.
We're taking steps to catch when the server fails to save like this in the future.
We’re aware of a network outage affecting some of our EU based servers. Our host is aware and working on a resolution. We’ll update once we have any further information.
Update: Looks like this is due to scheduled maintenance by a tier 1 provider. ETA 30-60 mins. Servers will be reachable again automatically upon network being restored.
Just a heads up that we restarted the vote for US & EU Biweekly with a larger map. The last votes were accidentally started with the wrong size map.
Make sure you get your votes in for these servers!
Force wipe is upon us, @here!
All of our servers are updating and wiping. Check out this months changes in the Dev Blog. If you're stuck in queue you can purchase VIP on our website and skip the queue!
Check out #wipe-schedule for all connection information.
Have a great wipe and we'll see you on the island!

Happy 4th of July to all of our USA based players! We had a fantastic firework show on some of our US servers.
**👁️ 13 **
We're aware of @sweet stone being down and we've got our provider looking into it. Initial looks are a hardware failure. We'll update as soon as we have more information.
Update: Server is back online and we'll be monitoring to see if any further adjustments are needed.
Steam has a major outage going on which is preventing players from joining servers. Unfortunately this is completely out of our hands and we have to wait for Steam to fix it.
Can monitor https://steamstat.us/ for updates.
We’re aware that some EU servers are unreachable. This is due to a network outage with one of our providers.
They are aware and working to resolve it. No ETA at this time.
Update: Servers appear to be back online.
Valve recently implemented trade protection on items traded within CSGO, they've reach out to us and we'll be enabling it early next week.
Details can be found here: https://t.co/cfZFxioeA2
We see a lot of compromised accounts, this should be positive move.
We will be moving @drowsy pond to a new machine with a different provider very shortly that should fix the lag that we've been dealing with the last ~72 hours.
We have also received word that they are rolling out some additional capacity tonight which will hopefully help mitigate the lag for the other affected servers in the US. We have no clue how effective these measures will be but we are actively exploring all avenues to improve the ongoing latency/packet loss issues.
I know this has been a frustrating few days and we're doing everything we can to make it better. 
@drowsy pond is coming back up now on a new machine. We'll be monitoring it closely to make sure things are better.
Please note the IP did change so it may not show up in your history tab in-game. You can use the following commands to direct connect:
- connect biweekly.us.moose.gg
- connect 208.103.169.185
We're aware one of our hosts in NA is having trouble again. We're looking into solutions.
Unfortunately EU Main had a hardware fault that was likely brought to light during the power interruption.
We’re working with our provider to get it back up ASAP. We’ll update as soon as we know more but likely a bit of downtime.
EU Main is back up on backup hardware while we get the old machine all fixed up. Should be good to go. Sorry about the downtime.
Hey @everyone,
After nearly a year hiatus, we're very happy to announce we're once again bringing Hapis Island back for wipe tomorrow, August 21st!
Last September, we were forced to close the Hapis server due to the world update 2.0, which broke many custom maps. However, thanks to the dedicated efforts of some Rust community members working to restore Hapis to its former glory, we are able to bring a dedicated Hapis server back to the official server list.
Rusty Moose |Hapis|
- Biweekly Map
- No BP Wipes
- 8 Team UI (no group limit)
- Server Location: London
You'll be able to find all connection information in #wipe-schedule before wipe tomorrow.
Hapis Island is a custom, static map, meaning its layout remains consistent across wipes unlike standard procedurally generated maps. It features unique monuments and terrain features and has a nostalgic appeal for players familiar with older versions of Rust.
After many years keeping Hapis alive, we’re happy to be able to offer it as a place to call home once again. Thank you all and we’ll see you on the (Hapis) island!
Best,

TLDR: Hapis server coming back tomorrow, biweekly map, no bp wipe. Check #wipe-schedule tomorrow for connection info.
We'll be performing server maintenance across all of our servers <t:1756447200:R>. All servers will be shutdown for this maintenance which is expected to last 30-60 minutes.
No progress will be lost and we'll be back up ASAP.
Edit: Pushed this back 1 hour due to some conflicts.
US Small having some issues coming back up after the daily restart. We're checking into it but it may be a little bit. Just some very bad timing with the right humans being available to try and fix it.
Go get some laundry done or take a shower 🙂 I'll update this when we know more.
Happy force wipe, @here!
All Moose servers are wiping now and will be back up shortly. Check out the changes in this months update blog.
You can find any server connect information in #wipe-schedule
Also friendly reminder that Hapis Island got some updates this month:
- New ziplines
- Launch site reworked and several bugs fixed
- Outpost fixes and some QoL changes
- Many fixes and updates throughout the map
- MLRS moved to pumping station temporarily
We're committed to continued changes and improvements of Hapis Island. Hope you enjoy! You can view the map here.
Have a great wipe and we'll see you on the island!
Best,
Moose Team

One of our hosting providers is having a large regional outage affecting player connections to some US servers. They are aware and working to resolve the issue ASAP.
We'll update if we get any more information.
Update: Looks like things are recovering. You should be able to reconnect.
Just a heads up, we have planned maintenance tonight for all Rusty Moose servers for routine maintenance tasks and to apply some system/backend updates before force wipe on Thursday. Regular nightly restarts will be skipped later tonight.
We don't expect this to take longer than 30 mins, but will keep you posted if it goes longer. No progress will be lost during this downtime and we'll have everything back up ASAP.

✅ UPDATE: This maintenance is now complete and all servers are starting back up. Thank you for your cooperation!

We're aware that some servers are having some major network drops and lag. Unfortunately the host these servers are with has been getting slammed with attacks for the last few weeks which is affecting all of their customers.
They are actively working to mitigate impact which is a constant cat and mouse game. While we are looking into alternative options, this is unfortunately an issue that several game hosts and even massive companies like Google have been dealing with for awhile now.
We'll let you know if we get any more information, but we'll likely just have to power through it.
Update 10/4: We’re hopeful things will be better by late tonight or tomorrow. Host is negotiating additional peering which should significantly help. Not going to make any promises it’ll be perfect, but I can promise that it’s being worked on around the clock.
We'll be releasing a balance update in the coming hours for basic blueprint fragments.
Basic Blueprint fragments can be found at:
- Dive sites advance crate
- Military crate
- Metal detecting, roadside only
- Junkpile NPCs (roadside)
This update is now out.
Added basic blueprint fragment chance to
• Military crate,
• Large underwater crate,
• Junkpile scientists,
• Roadside metal detecting
• Fixed building guide graphical artificing,
• Fixed radtown only spawning military crates,
• Fixed shields
US Mondays & US Small have moved to a new host to help with the lag which means their IPs have changed. They will not appear anymore in your history tab.
You can direct connect to these servers with the following:
- US Mondays -
connect monday.us.moose.gg - US Small -
connect small.us.moose.gg
US Medium has moved to a new host to help with the ongoing lag and network issues we've been facing. Please note the IP has changed. It will not appear anymore in your history tab. You can search the browser for it or direct connect with the following:
- US Medium -
connect medium.us.moose.gg
AWS is experiencing a global outage of some services right now and EAC is down. Due to this outage you may not be able to connect to the servers until the outage is resolved.
You can check the status page here: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
Friendly reminder that spooky season is nearly upon us and the Halloween event and new content will be enabled by Facepunch on Thursday around <t:1761242400>.
Our servers will be wiping at their normal scheduled times as listed in #wipe-schedule.
Just to note this time was off^
Halloween update is happening in ~30 minutes. Any servers that have not wiped yet today will still wipe at their normal times as per #wipe-schedule
You WILL need to UPDATE your game clients in order to reconnect to the servers once they have been restarted for the update. Client update will be released in the next 20 minutes or so.
FYI there's a bug with the clothing mannequins after the update preventing people from being able log into the server.
As a temporary measure we had to delete all the mannequins off the servers. If you were having issues you should be able to log back in now.
Facepunch will be pushing a hotfix for this soon.
Friendly reminder that Daylight Savings Time (DST) ends in the EU tonight, @here.
If you play on a server from a different region in which you live, or if the region you live does not recognize DST, wipe times may be different for you this week. Refer to #wipe-schedule for accurate wipe times in your local time zone.
Servers will still wipe at the "normal time" for their respective regions.
DST will end in the US next Sunday on November 2nd and everything will go back to normal.

Reminder there's a time change tonight for the states^ @here
Also regarding the upcoming changes FP is releasing. We have to do whatever FP tells us to, and follow suit with any BP wipes they may be doing. This will be required of any servers on the official list. So if they force a BP wipe on the 6th we will also have to.
#wipe-schedule has server wipe timings translated to your local timezone. BP wipe schedules are still TBD. It will most likely be monthly BP wipes but we will post more when we know for sure.
If you think you have feelings or opinions about the upcoming changes, go play on Staging and get a feel for what it will be like and send F7 feedback to Facepunch.

One of our providers currently has a major network outage affecting most of our US based servers.
They are aware and working to resolve it. We'll update as soon as we have more information.
Hey @everyone, its that time of year again for the Steam Awards! Rust is officially turning 12 years old in just a couple weeks and is backed by the best developers in the industry.
Rust has provided many of us with thousands of hours of entertainment, lifelong friendships, and experiences no other game can quite replicate. I think it's time to give back to the company that has provided us monthly content updates for over a decade now by nominating Rust for the "Labor of Love" category.
If you think Rust deserves it, give it your vote in the Steam Awards!
Also, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that celebrates! Friendly reminder to take a break and touch some grass. Get away from your screen and spend some time with those you love and don't take life for granted.
Thank you all for your continued support of Rust and this little corner of the internet we call home. We'll see you on the island.
Much love,
Team Moose 

The Naval update has been delayed and will not be releasing tomorrow. Please read this blog post for more information.
As far as we're currently aware the maps in the map vote still work and the votes are still valid. Please check #wipe-schedule for wipe times, as usual.

In addition to the above^
Good morning!
As we head into today's not naval update wipe extravaganza its important to note Rust - Staging branch (beta) is remaining as naval for everyone to test if they wish.
This means you cannot use Staging to join wiped servers today. It won't let you. GL w/ queues.😅
There are some major issues going on over at Valve/Steam and causing a lot of connectivity issues. Unfortunately this is out of our hands and if you are unable to join with a Steam or EAC error, just have to keep trying.
To add^

Hey @everyone, just wanted to wish all that celebrate a very Merry Christmas from our Moose family to yours. I hope you all had a great day and that Santa brought you everything you wanted!
I'm also happy to announce we're launching some of our very own Moose Merch! It's something we've wanted to do for many years and is available to all if you feel so inclined.
We're launching with just a few items but are looking for artists to help design some future merch items. If you're an artist and this is something you'd be interested in, reach out to my DMs with your portfolio!
Thank you all for your continued support and as always - we'll see you on the island!
Much love,

Hey having some technical issues connecting to Steam from @crude hawk. We're rebooting the machine fully and will have the server up ASAP. We're investigating the root cause.
This has been resolved and @crude hawk is online for wipe. Apologies for the delayed wipe. 
Some of our EU servers are being restarted again to apply some network configuration changes. Apologize for the abrupt downtime. We'll have them back up ASAP.
Good morning!
As we head into today's force wipe everyone should understand player counts will be at an all time high today. Queues will be wild.
We let as many in as we can without killing the servers. Thousands of players are all F1 connecting at the same time. Also **DO NOT USE STAGING - IT WILL NOT WORK **

We are aware of the occasional big lag spikes across various servers. This is unfortunately due to an issue with the update this month and will require Facepunch to push an update to address it.
We, and several other orgs, have been communicating these issues with Facepunch and are hoping a fix makes it in to the next hotfix.
Apologies for any inconvenience, but this one is out of our hands. 
Hey @here, friendly reminder that Daylight Savings Time (DST) goes into effect tonight in North America.
If you are playing on a server from a different region which you live, wipe times may be different for you. Refer to #wipe-schedule to get the wipe times in your local time zone.
Servers will still wipe at the "normal time" for their respective regions.
Europe will be observing DST on March 29th and things will go back to normal.

It is time for April's force wipe! All of our servers are wiping and updating now.
For all of our Hapis players, here are some recent changes that have been made in recent months:
- Added arctic base
- Added above ground trains
- Various balance changes and custom monument tweaks
- All keycard doors/puzzles have been fixed
You can check out all of the changes this month in Facepunch's devblog! Have a great wipe and we'll see you on the island!
You can find all server connect and map information in #wipe-schedule and can buy VIP here to skip the queue!

One of our hosts in US is having some network issues. They're aware and working on it. We'll update as soon as we know more.
Update:
Still seeing some residual issues for a small subset of players either being unable to connect or timing out shortly after joining. Host is aware and working on patching up any remaining issues. The vast majority of players are able to play unaffected. I apologize for the inconvenience but this one is out of our hands as all of this hosts clients are affected. Thanks for your cooperation.

back up
@everyone Please take note, after next forced wipe (hopefully XP hits too) the plan is to go back to 2 weeks pending the pop warrants it. 💤
Higher pop:
Rusty Moose New – Wiped 4/27 (won’t wipe again till the 5th)
client.connect server.rustymoose.info:28015 – will be weekly wipes
Lower pop:
Rusty Moose Deuce – Wiped 4/28 (this will wipe Thursday at the normal “whenever” time)
client.connect server2.rustymoose.info:28015 – will be bi-weekly wipes.

the update hits on Thursday. And now, the question on everyone's mind...
Will the XP system come this week?
No. Unfortunately, Helk confirmed to me the other day the new XP system
will not be ready for primetime this week. There is still a good deal of

quality of life improvements. Let’s get into it...
Hack fix
A new hack reared its ugly head after the update last week which gave
clients the ability to loot through walls. Although the symptoms (high
quality items missing from boxes) lead many to think it was a new noclip
hack, it turns out this modified the ‘eye position’ of a client, which let
them look through walls and loot items like they were standing right t...
@everyone Just a reminder - we aren't wiping today. Still trying to ride out 2 week wipes. If the pop continues to stay this low after day 6 that will change at some point in the future. We'll try and make it through XP - that should slow down progression/raiding a bit. Next wipe is the 19th.
Update should hit sometime between 3-6pm EST today. Check Rustafied for what's coming. http://www.rustafied.com/

There was a full wipe to level the playing field
@everyone Facepunch is forcing an XP + Map wipe this Thursday. Details on it and new wipe dates here: http://www.rustymoose.info/news/lol-rip-you-guys-forced-wipe/
@everyone
In response to the XP wipe technically being "optional" now:
FP spent all week tweeking XP gains, dumbing them down, and making them less power-levely - all those changes will apply tomorrow. Anyone that gained XP this week would have had an advantage over anyone's progress made after tomorrow. We're still going to do a full wipe tomorrow to re-level the playing field and start fresh. Either option is a lose/lose so we're making it as fair as possible.
Welcome to alpha!
@everyone Updating now should be back up soon. Update your game clients! https://playrust.com/devblog-118/
It’s a fresh week for Rust development and we’re seeing some balance shifts

Arrow damage tweaks
Andre is tweaking how damage is dealt with bows - giving arrows their own
damage type (instead of using the bullet damage type). He’s also increased
the arrow headshot multiplier (to 1.5) to maintain one-shot kills when the
victim is not wearing any head protection.

@everyone Woot community update!! Gratz @empty skiff & @cosmic pike :D
It is a fresh month for Rust development and we are seeing a bunch of
welcomed changes along with a new raiding tool! After asking the community
for a changes wishlist, the team is on fire, rocking out a ton of
improvements.
Given this week is the first update of the month, all maps will wipe when
the patch goes live on Thursday (no sign of a forced XP wipe). Let’s get
into it...

@everyone Updating Soon ~10 min or so.

@everyone The queue lockout issue is global and is so strong it's crashing multiple servers now. I'm working with FP and other server owners for a fix. Server is off atm until further notice. Keep watching discord for updates specific to us and when I go back up.
In a nutshell: Someone's figured out a way to spoof steam ID's to spam connect to multiple servers.
nice
It's back up for now but I can't promise it will be stable.
@everyone Map only wipe tomorrow
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
12:00am EST - It’s been kind of a slow week from a new content
standpoint. I don’t care though, because we’ve got FPS improvements! Along
with that, there are some much needed fixes to hit registry, a more
reasonable size for the double barrel, and progress on the much anticipated
graphics overhaul.
Our update stream goes live at 2pm EST. A special treat this week: We’re
raffling off all 7 games from the Humble Survive This Bundle! As always,

@everyone Update's been delayed, they needed to do a full server rebuild cause of some bad code. I won't wipe early just in case it causes a map wipe on update.
I'll keep you posted.
@everyone Server side update is out. We are waiting until the client update hits and then we will patch the server.
@everyone Client update is out, update yours. Rebooting for updates now.
@everyone we got a problem I'm aware of it trying to fix but it appears it might be a hardware issue. I'll update as soon as I know more.
Still having issues no ETA but I'm actively working on a fix. Still appears to be hardware.
@everyone Looks like we're back up, give it a try but I can't make any guarantees ❤
jk 😃
Have to pass the torch to AWS now I've done everything I can from a web standpoint. No ETA. Will post the second I have mor enews.
We might try a fresh install after they get the backend going, rest assured all your stuff is saved and will still be there.
oh shit waddup
Server is currently up right now, we're monitoring it closely and getting a backup install ready in case we have to move boxes.
@everyone If you're going to report someone for hacking, please don't spam global about a hacker. Instead, (that's right, you guessed it you smart little bean you) hop on Discord and message one of us. Guaranfuckingtee that hacker will be dealt with before the day is over. That is all.

12:10am EST - It is a huge week for Rust! With the forced map wipe coming Thursday, we’ve got a ton of new eye candy, reworked bone armor, awesome changes to Savas, and more. It's still early in the week, so this is all still in process, and some stuff isn't quite in game yet. Follow @Rustafied for news as the week progresses. The forced wipe is only for maps - there is no sign at the moment of a forced XP wipe. Rustafied servers are not planning on wiping XP, however, if you’re looking for a fresh start ex...

Check Rustafied's site in the post above for content details.
I want to address the insane level of salt some of you have had the last 2 weeks (since Rust went on sale for $4).
I would like to remind everyone that crying hacks in public chat, demanding we ban people cuz you say so, barraging admins with condescending PM’s, and generally acting like entitled brats is not cool. At all.
From here on out people that do any of the above will get either muted or kicked based off the level of fuckery they’re displaying. I’ve amended the Rules and FAQs to reflect. Please take 30 seconds to educate yourself on new processes so you don’t have to see my demonic side.

Guys the Modded update is delayed, there's an issue with the Oxide plugins. I'll update asap as soon as it's patched just sit tight.
@everyone Since people seemed to have forgotten.
⭐What should I do if I suspect a hacker?⭐
*Don’t make it a habit of crying hacks in public chat it literally makes things worse & they toggle it off.
*Discreetly F7 report while they’re still online and shoot a PM to an admin on Discord (link any proof you have).
*Again, shouting hacker in pub chat doesn’t help.
*Do your best to gather some evidence if you can. Screenshots or videos work wonder
*We can’t always reply back right away, if at all. Leave your report with us and know we’re reading it.
*Please don’t badger us for a status on said report.
*Drama queens that fail at any of this will be muted or kicked at our discretion.

🌟 Server is off for a bit till we can fix. I'll refund VIPs if I don't have it figured out by tomorrow. Can go play on modded for the night if your clan's not too big.
Update: Still working on a permanent fix if you're one to get all ragey about server problems I advise you play somewhere else this wipe as we have no ETA. If you are a trooper and decide to tough it out with us expect some crashes and random reboots till we get things sorted. We're actively testing a few potential fixes, it could stay up and be fine at any point. ❤ (I'm trying!)
If you purchased Main VIP and would like a refund please open a support ticket on the store page. https://rustymoose.net/support/
@everyone Server is coming back up shortly. It will be a fresh install and new hardware. If this doesn't fix it we may have a bad map seed, in which we may have to wipe but that will obviously be a last resort.
Going to try a new map seed if it doesn't fix the crashes we can revert back if need be.
New seed didn't fix, reverting back. Still no fix for the crashes yet though. Still working on it.
Working on a new windows instance. I'll let you know when it's done and you can connect to the new after we move the IP
Moving server now should be back up shortly

@everyone Yes, Steam is completely down. It's affecting your ability to play Rust and we're aware, but sadly can't do shit about it. Just have to be patient.

If you purchased Vanilla VIP either as new or a renewal, and you've attempted to activate it here already
https://rustymoose.net/activate/main/ (will read "disabled - must purchase" "Activate" or "Currently Active")
If it's your first time activating and you're in the queue already you must relog for it to take effect.
If your queue bypass isn't working please put in a support ticket so we can nail down the issue and keep track of it all: https://rustymoose.net/support/
Please include your email and a link to your steam profile in the support ticket for fastest results.

Client update is out
Pretty fucked up bug atm where players
A. aren't showing up for eachother
B. can't see bases/parts of structures
C. appear to move around a little teleporty/small burst movements
It's a global issue across all servers atm. Just have to deal with it till they fix. Relogging sometimes helps.
🌟 Server update/restart incoming. You will likely get a client-side update that you'll need to apply as well or you won't be able to reconnect. Should fix:
- Python Buff
- Invisible player fix
- Fixed missing barrels from Dome monument

Main is down for maint. atm. No the update isn't out yet. No it hasn't wiped yet.
I lied. We had some issues with the store and rolling out a new system that will make everyone's lives easier. New VIPs will not be for sale until tomorrow or MAYBE later tonight. Not making any promises as of right now. We're working on it as fast as we can. Forums will remain offline until we get some stuff sorted out and back in working order. Modded VIPs your kits will not be available during this time. I know, I suck. I'll let you know as soon as they're back 😃
Both servers are wiped/update and SHOULD work. maybe :)
Update your clients or you won't be able to connect, it's being pushed out now.
Rust is broken. It's a global issue affecting all servers - steam auth timeouts and null exception kicks.
You can do your part and PM me your output_log.txt from your rust installation folder if you get the red text kick.
We will 100% have VIP slots available for both servers tomorrow around 12-1PM CST. They are limited quantity, so keep an eye out here in announcements as I'll let everyone know when they are back in stock. Again, we apologize for the lengthy delay but we've finally gotten everything back where it needed to be. 😃

Just dropped another batch in stock for Main VIP. First come first serve and auto-renewals are back on by default(unless unchecked during checkout). Make sure you activate it by linking your Steam account with your forum account. Check here after purchase: https://rustymoose.net/activate/main
@everyone
🌟Lots of Moosy..Moosey?...Moosie?.. news!🌟
We now have 3 Rust servers in total:
-Main Official Vanilla | 250 - Wipes Thursdays
-Lil Modded | 125 - Wipes Thursdays
-Big Modded | 250 - Wipes Mondays (starting next week, will wipe today)
We also have 2 #276479165207805952 servers up:
Moose Exiles US | 50 pop
Moose Exiles US - Low | 20 pop
In the upcoming weeks you will see some changes with our websites/domains as we're merging everything to one place soon. No more confusion with .info vs. .net blablabla.
Forced wipe/updates will hit within the next few hours, it's random. Stop asking. 😛
I have added the last of the stock we have available for main. If it says sold out, we're sold out! New spots will come available as the current ones expire! First come, first serve. Let the games begin!
@everyone
Major exploit happening atm across a lot of popular Rust servers where someone's gaining rcon control. spawning items in, changing cap limits, general fuckery. We've taken ALL Rust Moose Servers offline until further notice. Watch here or twitter for announcements, info, and when we'll be back up. @ errniegerrn for my twitter.
Meanwhile go play Exiles 
@everyone https://twitter.com/garrynewman/status/827603678836170752 Please note, full builds will take some time. This will take at a minimum of 30-45 mins. We have no set time so stop asking. We have no plans to wipe as of right now since we were not affected. We'll keep you posted.
We found the problem, will scan my DMs to see if anyone was close after we commit the fix.
Servers are updated, you can join once they put the client side out - pending there's no more changes needed on the backend.
bringing this one back down. https://gyazo.com/c8aa568eba950bf711ae3c9834796fa5
Looking into what just happened. Just chill pay attention to further updates.
Big Moose Modded Rust just wiped if anyone's interested!
Just to make it clear: Rust Main and Rust Modded small will wipe on Thursday as normal. We know this means 2 very short wipe cycles, but unfortunately sometimes shit happens. Sorry for the inconvenience. 
Servers are updated and awaiting your client update so you can connect.
Soon™
Jk might have a new server build coming before you get your clients. hang tight 🖖
We are aware of the email issues with the forums/website. Unfortunately it's completely out of our control. They will send, eventually... it just takes time. Sorry for the trouble. As for VIP, we are sold out. We'll keep you all posted if more open up.
🌟 There are global Steam connection issues (auth timeouts) going on right now across all servers. You will pull your hair out trying to "fix" it but there's not really anything you can do. It's a Steam issue not a Rust issue just have to ride it out.
Just an update on a few things. The higher pop modded server is put on hold for a bit. We needed the box it was on for other stuff and we're not quite ready on the backend to be managing a 3rd active server. We don't wanna fuck it up.
With that said, the current modded is now on newer hardware and we'll be slowly increasing pop on that one as we see fit. Moving forward we'll see how it does & maybe even go as high as 200 if there's some demand. Can always circle back and re-make a low pop one later for us old geezers.
To recap: Main Vanilla 250 & Modded 150 are the only two up at the moment. Both wipe on Thursdays with the update, whenever that hits.
Connect info:
client.connect main.moose.gg:28015
client.connect lil.moose.gg:28017
Both Conan servers are wiping today, it's much needed after the recent updates. We may consolidate to one server in the next few weeks if they end up with ~10 on each.
For those asking: We do have MODDED VIPs back in stock. And quite a few of them. They come with the same kit as before which can be seen on the store info page. Main VIPs are still out of stock for another week unfortunately. So stop asking ❤
Main will be down a little more extended then usual outage. We're going to try some new hardware. This could solve our issues, change absolutely nothing, or be a complete bust. We'll keep you posted. We'll be back ASAP!
All servers are down until further notice. Waiting on a forced update from Facepunch to patch a code lock exploit we were just made aware of.
Update is out, server's are slowly coming back up now. Update your game clients or you won't be able to connect. No wipe.
New Announcement Posted: "Website and Discord integration is here!" - https://moose.gg/topic/107-website-and-discord-integration-is-here/

WIPE HYPE.
All servers are still wiping Thursday w/ the update regarless of the off-schedule exploit wipe that happened on Sunday.
Servers are updated, just waiting on Client update so you can connect.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we will not have any VIP available for Main until the 28th(next Tuesday). So you can stop asking and just skip to the part where you tell us how stupid it is, and you don't understand how we could sell out of a digital item. Etc, etc. I'll bathe in the salt. ❤
I have added 15 to stock for the Trio modded server! If you're looking to play there, grab em while you can. Unfortunately main will be out of stock until the 28th.
Some discord security and DM changes/improvements coming soon. You'll want to check your settings if you find people aren't able to DM you. https://blog.discordapp.com/discord-safety-boost-2d592ea3b14a
VIP comes back in stock RANDOMLY as old ones expire. It's something you'll have to periodically check on your own as you see fit.
Devblog has popped. Get educated while you wait in queue: https://moose.gg/forum/16-latest-devblog/
@everyone We are trying to remedy our current issues. No it is not a DDoS. It is a hardware related issue. While we're doing what we can, it is mostly out of our control. Due to these continued issues and some other circumstances we will be changing server providers in the next few days. We will release an announcement with more info on this later tonight.
Just a friendly reminder in case you want to be a big meanie to your local admin. Everything you need to know is in #rules

@everyone IMPORTANT
For those of you that are not aware, we are in the process of switching server providers. As a side effect Rusty Moose |US| (main) has moved IPs this week.
All of the connection info is the exact same. Here are a few ways you can find the new server:
1.) Type in F1 console "connect main.moose.gg:28015"
2.) Clicking the connect link on our SSM(https://moose.gg/status/)
3.) Searching for "Rusty Moose" on the official tab in the server browser.
Please be sure to add our new IP to your favorites list so it's easier to find in the future :)
In the coming week(s) we will moving the rest of our servers over to a new IP as well. We'll keep you all posted with any new info.
We'll see you all on the island!

Hey guys, a server update just popped to fix these packet flooding errors that have been going around. We'll be applying it as soon as all of the pieces fall in to place. We'll update here with more info when we have it.
Hotfix is being applied to all servers now, they're all slowly coming back online.
Just pure curiosity for myself. Now that ya'll have had a week to play BPs are you still antsy for 1 week map wipes? or more chill 2 week+?
Just to recap, we are NOT wiping today. I informed people ~5 days ago with plenty of time to get BPs on a weekly server if they chose to do so. I'm sorry if that ruins your Rust experience for a week. It'll be ok, it's just a video game.
If we go back to weekly wipes it won't be till a BP wipe on the 2nd.
Update is a bit late today https://twitter.com/playrust/status/921111355507269634

What leaving Early Access means to us and how it's going to affect the game.
We're not out of Early Access yet. The wipe schedule is still the same as it has always been. We're wiping when the update comes out. Check #archive-whens-whip to see which servers are wiping today.

@everyone We have 18 second old info about BP wipes just chill please stop PMing me we'll make a decision shortly. Watch here for updates.
Just heard from Facepunch: There will be a forced map wipe today and a forced map and blueprint wipe next week to leave early access. Given this, we will NOT be wiping blueprints on Rustafied servers today.
@everyone Given us wiping BPs today would suck worse than not, we're electing to NOT wipe BPs today.
Map wipe only on all Moose servers today. Map + BP wipe next week (8th) for the leaving Early Access update. Feel free to go join back and learn the remaining BPs you may still want/need.
Reason: Wiping BP's today, then wiping BP's again on the 8th, then wiping BP's again on March 1st to get back on schedule is waaay too much grind. I know it sucks but it is what's best in the long run.
If it helps, the new #archive-na-medium server is already up and the database for BPs is only about 4 days old if you want a fresher start. Also, our 2 week servers will only be 1 week, I will update #archive-whens-whip after I know more on dates for everything.
Going through and updating/map wiping each server now.
What leaving Early Access means to us and how it's going to affect the game.
It should be mentioned today, that due to the new procgen changes, we have to YOLO map seeds this week and possibly next. Just till the map generator sites have their databases all updated. I will be slightly increasing each map just size (just a teeny bit) to up our chances for mil tuns, etc. WIll all go back to normal after the dust settles. Yes we'll have scientists on too, but will keep an eye on performance.

Medium is being affected atm
Medium coming back up now
It seems @TeddyEAC are currently getting false positives and banning innocent survivors. We're trying to get a response from them - you will be unbanned - sorry for the inconvenience.
The bans have been reverted - let us know if you get any more issues and we'll look into it.
Don't forget there's a BOOM BOOM party this Wednesday night (4/4/2018) Prob kick it off around 8pm EST (ish) I'l be streaming it from Main, there will be fireworks, gonna do some VIP giveaways. Don't be a loser and miss out.

@Jexs just made an announcement.
Concerns about recent "ban lag" and map seeds.

Hey all, something weird happened today with our backend that was randomly kicking people that should not have been getting kicked. This should now be resolved and you should all be set. 👌
New skins are out. http://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/252490/browse/?filter=all
All set. Update your game clients.
We've released a mandatory client and server update with a number of important fixes. Let your server admin know!
Updating servers shortly
Server's are all coming back up one at a time now. Most are already back up.
Same, again, today^^^
Reminder: We'll be releasing a mandatory client and server update in an hour!
PSA: @steam_games changed their privacy settings recently. Your games & playtime are hidden by default. This happened to everyone. Please stop reporting every single person for cheats just cuz their profile has private elements on it lol.... ...
@here Discord sync is now alive and well! You will have to resync your accounts since we have switched to a new system. You can link your account here: https://moose.gg/settings/login/?service=12
Your roles should change automatically on Discord to reflect what you have on the website.
@here So there's no easy way to say this.... I broke it. Again. I was trying to fix something and ended up making it 10x worse than it was and we lost our Discord login data.
I have taken steps to make sure it doesn't happen again and we are all good to go for the long run. You can just consider the last sync a test run if you'd like. 🙃
You can re-sync your Discord account on Moose.GG here: https://moose.gg/settings/login/?service=13
This allows the uploading of images and access to certain channels as well as some other permissions. We have many plans to expand on what this will allow you to do in the future, so stay tuned for that.
🔔 Our store is currently closed to new purchases. Existing VIPs will remain active and you will have immediate access to the server. If you have purchased VIP and do not have your Steam account linked to the website already, please open a support ticket. 🔔
Steam integration on our website is now back up and working as intended. If you get any errors please open a support ticket with all the info you can give us to help us get to the bottom of it.
No, I didn't lose your Steam ID's so you won't have to re-sync your Steam. Don't worry. :)
If you need to link your Steam still, you can do it here: https://moose.gg/settings/

Our datacenter just shit the bed. Dozens of servers down. Just chill.
@here
Things appear to have stabilized, only time will tell. Good luck.
just kidding
Currently experiencing some outages with the datacenter. Affecting many servers atm, the host is aware and trying to fix it as we speak. No ETA. #Rust @Moose_GG
Soon™
We are currently investigating an issue with our Chicago PoP that seems to be breaking connectivity for most clients.```
Our host is having isolated errors still for certain providers and clients. There is nothing we can do to avoid this. We just have to wait it out while they get it fixed. They are confident they have found a possible solution though. Standby.
STILL HAPPENING BTW
Some of you don't seem to understand so I'll style it a few different ways that hopefully you'll understand...

"We will not be patching today, we'll have a tweet out in a couple of minutes." - Alistair
Sorry, but we're going to delay the patch until tomorrow. There are some balancing issues with puzzles that result in players getting less loot overall rather than more. We can only change this during a wipe, so it's better to wait a day than have a month of crap loot.
Tomorrows patch will still force wipe both the map and BP's. We're not doing anything but waiting.
Tomorrow's patch should pop around 3pm EST.
@here Patch is building now, will be pushed shortly. Server update will pop, then 10-15 min later client update will pop. We also have to wait for some oxide stuff to update as well. Just chill. This channel will update again when servers start wiping!
Client update is out. Servers are wiping now. Notifications should pop up any second here.
We will be releasing a small mandatory client and server update today. Aiming for 14:00 EST / 18:00 GMT.
Mandatory patch for both server and your game client incoming int he next 5-10 min.
Updating each server now one by one. Will be over shortly
All servers are updated, make sure you update your game clients. This should fix fucky key cards, exploding shops, and the hemp picking shenanigans.
Router maint. from our host, periodic downtimes for the next few minutes. No ETA.
New Announcement: "Ban Lag Fix Is In!"
Hello all, As you can tell from the title, the much anticipated new ban system is in for all Moose servers. Over the last week we have made some major changes to our back-end to accommodate for some big things that were working on. This will not affect the average player, but...
From all of us here at Moose, we'd like to wish you all a safe and happy 4th of July!
If you're not from the US just pretend you are so that you have another excuse to drink! If you're from the UK this is the one day a year we thoroughly enjoy giving you a big ol 🖕(in the nice kind of way of course).
With that being said, tomorrow is forced wipe and we are wiping BPs on all servers as well. That of course means boom boom party tonight on main including fireworks. We couldn't have had a better day. Be there or be ⬜
For all you plebs that keep asking, wipe will be around 3PM EST and we are not changing any of the default settings concerning the team system. We're straight vanilla, baby.
Servers are all coming back online now. gl hf
🔥 We're aware some monument puzzles are scuffed. Just have to deal with it, fix has to come from FP. We bandaid fixed the rest so it doesn't happen again but you just have to ride it out. 🔥
I'll be guest judging a Rust Sign contest if any of you artsy fartsy types want to enter it! More info here: https://twitter.com/Athena__Design/status/1015356531574038529
Rust Sign Contest! 🎨🖌️
With Guest Judges @ErrnieGerrn @Bizzlesnaff & @pughie9 😘
Win 30€ + #Rust skins 💸
We are applying this update to all our servers now one at a time.
We've released a small optional server update. Admins can now fix broken puzzles on their server with the "puzzleprefabrespawn" console command.
Host is doing router maint. tonight (Tuesday AM) between 2:30-4:30am CDT. You may experience some lag and or brief disconnects.
Servers all wiped and coming back online now. GL HF
We'll be releasing a mandatory client and server update in an hour to force a restart of all servers. Modded servers will need to update Oxide.
Couple of our boxes need full restarts, couple servers may take an extra few minutes to come back up.
All servers are back up. Make sure you update your games.
@everyone Sorry for the ping, haven't done an announcement in a while and need to touch on a few things. 😘
-We're doing Christmas in July on ALL Moose server this week (it BP wipes on the 2nd) so if you're a fuddy duddy and hate warm fuzzies, play somewhere else this week. Presents will happen about once an hour pending I don't fuck something up. I'll probably stream some hobo Santa at some point.
-We're getting closer to making a Moose Monthly a real thing. Aiming for next forced but shit happens so I'm not promising it yet. Watch for an announcement about that later.
-There's a new server set popping up (Component Blast). You may see a video from Blooprint about it. You should know it's run and maintained by cheat devs. It requires a separate download and launcher to play on it. Enter at your own risk. (Edit: does not have it's own launcher anymore, I don't see anything wrong with the server itself, just the people behind it.)
WHENS WHIP??? xoxo
Our host is having some problems at the moment, may see some lag spikes or connection issues (more than usual) this includes the website.
Salutations nerdlings. @everyone (last ping for a while me thinks)
-Moose Monthly is a go!!! It's up now if you want to get it in your faves/history but it will be a full wipe again on the 2nd so don't get too attached. Feel free to reee with your peers in #archive-na-monthly chat. Queue bypass is available but may not be needed yet.
-Cinema server was moved to a new IP.
Connection info for both: https://moose.gg/ssm/

Server update just hit, there's a few things we have to wait on along with your client update before we can wipe. Just chill I'll announce more when the wipe's actually happening.
Starting the process now. Main is already wiped. Medium having some issues I have to restart the box. Rest are slowly coming back up now.
All set, gl hf
I'm sure I find this more interesting than most, but I've got some cool stats from the last forced wipe.
Just from last forced wipe (the month of July), we had:
- 52,149 unique players across 5 servers
- 241,604 connections were made to our servers by those players
- 1,053,783 chat messages sent by those players
So basically what I'm saying is... more pewpew, less qq. For real though, we've been having a lot of growth and we appreciate you all.
Love,
Your Moosemins
Heads up, our host seems to be having major network issues with one of their upstream providers tonight. It's causing network outages across many major servers.
We're waiting for an update from them and will update when we have more info. You may have connection drops and disconnects for the next little while.
We're still experiencing network issues. It's happening to many Rust servers, not just Moose. Stop screeching, it's just a video game. We'll get through this together, cunts. xoxo
Still a thing^^
I point you people here to avoid getting a bajillion PMs about the same issues. Yes we're still having dropped connections, some salty shits keep DDoSing all of the bigger Rust servers because they have small pee pees and their mother didn't hug them enough. Just chill 😉
We're aware of the connection issues on some of our servers. We are being hit with DDoS attacks. Unfortunately this is out of our control, so you'll just have to be patient.
Since people can't understand how DDoS attacks work ^^^this^^^^ is still a thing.
Still a thing.
Still a thing.
Still a thing.
We have been in talks with our host for the last week as we have constantly been getting knocked offline.
Thankfully, we think we have figured out a way to mitigate most of these attacks that have been hitting us offline. This does not mean that we may not get knocked off as a DDoS is always possible no matter how good of protection you have.
We are confident that effects of these attacks will be severely crippled. We'll keep you posted as we have more information.
There's both a server and client update that were pushed today to fix numerous issues. Mainly ambient sound and skins. We'll be updating the servers here in the next hour or so.
Your latest #Rust client update is a biggun to try and help with the skin issues ya'll have been experiencing for a couple months. They're now bundled with the install so you don't have to cry in a corner while they download during gameplay anymore. 🎉 https://t.co/hkO5...
Rolling out server updates one by one shortly!
All servers wiped and are coming back online now! gl hf
This week's skins https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/252490/browse/?filter=all
Accel and Hapis are having some issues, I have to restart the box they're on. Be back up asap.
Just a reminder this month is a 5 week month for Rust. All of our 2 week servers will have a one week wipe starting tomorrow. Forced wipe/update is the 6th on all servers everywhere. As always, wipe info is in #archive-whens-whip
Ignore those. My b.
For those of you that missed, it all servers have wiped and those that aren't up yet and coming up now.
We will be doing some major server maintenance on main in preparation for the update tomorrow. This will more than likely cause a 45-90 minute downtime before it is back online. We plan to start this maintenance around 6PM CST so that we'll have main back up in time for boom booms.
Right at 90 minutes. 😉 Main is coming back online now.
Still having some issues from maint. Moving to Medium for booms! steam://connect/medium.moose.gg:28015
The latest patch is about an hour away. While you wait, here are the latest skins: https://t.co/7wvbuwM45L
I will be taking a few of the servers offline a little before wipe to get system updates under control.
Server update has popped. We're waiting on client update and a few things to fall in line.
Devblog has dropped. Educate yourselves while you wait. 😃 https://moose.gg/forums/forum/16-latest-devblog/
We had a small network configuration error that was causing some players to not be able to connect to Main. This has been resolved and players should be able to join now. Sorry for the delay!
If your @playrust has decent FPS but you still feel stuttery (is that a word?) try doing steps 60 in your F1 console. Should help a bit. https://t.co/9pMtqQKSN9
I'm a few days late, but here are some stats for the month of August:
- Total Unique Players: 46,090
- Total Player Connections: 244,629
- Total Messages Sent: 942,396
- Total Bans Issued: 1,244
As always, thank you all for your continued support as we strive to make this the best community on Rust. Love you all. ❤ 
The pumpkin epidemic is widespread and causing some performance issues on some servers. I will be running a command to clean those up as I really have no other choice. Please be mindful of replanting them till FP can tweak how they work, ty ❤
A patch has been released to fix a rare crash introduced in the patch earlier today, make sure your clients are updated
🔔 Going to be running some extended maint. on our boxes today. The servers that don't wipe today will be worked on/restarted this morning. The rest I will do closer to wipe around 3:30-4pm EST.
Edit: I'm doing them all right now they will need multiple restarts and I don't want to sit around all day waiting . 😘 The servers wiping today will still do so at 4pm.
