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 moose Rust

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!

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

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,

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! moose

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,

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!

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:

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.

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. moose rust

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.

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.

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,

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.

# golden cargo Hey everyone, Due to some technical issues with <@889633463857201172>, we will...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

golden cargo

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

golden cargo

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

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.

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!

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. PepeKms

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.

Happy New Year @everyone! This should be the last ping for awhile!

Last year was the best year for Rust and Rusty Moose alike! We have lots of projects planned this year to continue to improve player experience. I hope you all had a fantastic 2024 and that 2025 is even better!

Here is a quick recap of 2024:

  • Our 15 servers saw 1,126,485 unique players that connected 11,278,202 times.
  • There were 20,675,169 hours played which is roughly 2,360 years.
  • Players sent 23,360,841 messages in chat with an additional 24,415,954 messages spammed in team chat (including Rust+ bots). Additionally, 37,598 messages were automatically blocked for racism resulting in a mute or ban.
  • Players died 79,199,600 times where 51,334,606 of which were PvP deaths.
  • Players submitted 643,961 reports (+131,418 spam reports) where 91,955 were of a player that resulted in a ban. That is a 11.9% report accuracy which is a new record.
  • We banned 39,312 accounts, 37,509 of which were cheating, association, or VAC and game ban related. This comes out to an average of ~108 bans a day.
  • Players collected 36,607,599,214 wood, 32,333,380,683 stone, 16,450,765,319 metal, 53,682,580 HQM, and 9,251,353,814 sulfur.
  • Players fired 2,958,334 rockets and used 431,199 C4.

Also want to give a shout out to some of our most dedicated players this past year:

  • Raid Boss (Rockets): @dire aspen with 20,699 rockets fired
  • Raid Boss (C4): @dire aspen with 1,283 C4 used
  • Raid Boss (Explo. Ammo): @viral meadow with 44,410 explosive ammo used
  • Lumberjack: @dire aspen with 36,180,919 wood collected
  • Miner (Stone): @austere tree with 14,132,622 stone collected
  • Miner (Metal): @primal pine with 10,099,121 metal collected
  • Miner (Sulfur): @wise basalt 5,088,939 sulfur collected
  • Scavenger (Loot Containers): @pastel zephyr with 44,079 crates and barrels looted
  • Scavenger (Airdrops): barelmekies1 with 243 airdrops looted
  • Scavenger (Locked Crates): @undone dust with 176 locked crates looted
  • Executioner: Ignignokt with 19,413 kills
  • Deadeye: @harsh badger with 38,575 headshots
  • Tank Destroyer: @ruby harness with 303 bradley takedowns
  • Tunnel Rat: @stray tendon with 7,347 tunnel dwellers killed
  • Huntsman: @dark roost with 1,778 animal kills
  • Yapgod: @golden sapphire with 67,881 chat messages

With the turn of the year, that means we've been running these servers for just about 11 years now and we're looking forward to many more. Thank you all for your continued support and we'll see you on the island!

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!

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. yoda

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!

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.

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,
Jexs & Moose Team moose MoosePeepo MooseHeart

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 moose MoosePeepo MooseHeart

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.

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.

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.

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.

weak cipher
#

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.

weak cipher
#

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.

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 MooseHeartmoose MooseHeart

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.

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 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.

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,

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.

⭐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.

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.

@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/)

@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.

weak cipher

@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.

@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!

New Announcement: "Ban Lag Fix Is In!"

https://moose.gg/forums/topic/1509-ban-lag-fix-is-in/

#

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.

@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.

weak cipher

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.

weak cipher

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.

weak cipher
#

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.

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.

https://twitter.com/ErrnieGerrn/status/1027962835740094465

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...

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

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 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 ❤

🔔 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.
