@everyone We have an important announcement/poll that we need your advice on. It's a long one, I know. But for those that don't read it, at least fill out the poll at the top! It's only 3 questions regarding custom maps. For those of you that do read it, feel free to comment on it with feedback. Thank you and sorry for the ping. ❤

There has been a lot of misinformation going around that our VIP is an auto-renewing subscription. That is not the case. Our VIP does not auto-renew.
5 days before your VIP expires you will get an email letting you know that you can renew it if you'd like. This is not automatic, and if you ignore it, nothing will happen. Have no fear, we're not going to charge you without your approval.

Just a heads up to everyone interested in the custom maps: We'll be running custom maps on Medium & Accelerated.
Medium will be running AquaLine that was on Accelerated last week. It was made by @edgy vigil and is a very lightly modified map compared to his first attempt. Nothing crazy though, so fear not. It also has some bug fixes and the node island has been fixed (sorry farmers).
Accelerated will be running a brand new map affectionately named 'BaldSpot'. You'll see why after loading in and pressing G. It was made by @shadow maple and is his first custom map attempt. Again, it's lightly modified and also has snow completely removed. This is a test run and would greatly appreciate any feedback as the week goes on.
Thank you all and we look forward to seeing you on the island.
p.s the attached image is of AquaLine (the one of Medium). We don't have a screenshot of BaldSpot yet but you'll see it in game.

Just a heads up, there will be a server update and client update sometime soonish (within a couple hours). It will fix the launch site issues some servers are having and also fix the rest of the the monuments on main.
Aside from that it'll also enable the Clatter helmet as the game is now released. Go grab a copy if you're interested.

@everyone Since this seems to be an epidemic this morning I want to clear up a few things with reporting cheaters.
-Do NOT do it in any sort of public chat. It will get ignored. It's a waste of time for us to investigate if they know they're being watched.
-F7 F7 F7 F7 F7 <--- THIS IS IMPORTANT!!1 (you get an email if they get gamebanned!)
-If 6 of your team mates are spamming 4 of our admin all at the same time with little-to-no info, they're not going to get banned.
-Using https://moose.gg/report/ goes to all online/at PC admin. This greatly increases turn-around time instead of sending a bunch of DM's to AFK people.
-If you do DM staff with cheater reports it better be thorough info. But don't expect a reply back ever. It will get read eventually and dealt with.
Thank you, drive through. 👍
P.S. This goes for any server you're playing on. Report correctly, things get handled. See your server specific rules for details. 😘
golden cargo
Hey @here (don't shoot me for the ping)!
As some of you are aware, we have soft-launched a new EU monthly server that will have it's first full wipe at forced on February 7th.
With this new server roster change, it only makes sense that we make some changes to our staff as well. With that being said, we'd like to welcome our newest addition to the Moose'min team @spark hornet
Additionally, we're adding 2 new Discord Mods: @pure ruin & @glass crescent
Thank you guys for the continued support and love. ♥

Since there are some of you (dummies) that are spreading around bad/false info:
- Tomorrow is not a forced update/wipe. The update is coming out February 7th (first Thursday of every month).
- Low & Hapis are wiping tomorrow for a 1 week wipe since this is a 5 week month (in Rust world at least).

Making progress. Looks like there is another build running. If it works we'll be wiping immediately after. We'll give an update as soon as we know more.
Trust me, we're just as annoyed, if not more, than you all. We're doing the best and all that we can to wipe without preventing our VIPs from not working or our backend systems to keep our servers secure/fun and hacker free. We're doing the best we can with the cards we were dealt today.
golden cargo
Alright, here's the deal. We have a development build. We're gonna give it a go. Shit will probably be broken. Shit will probably not work. People may get kicked for doing dumb shit like looting a body. There's nothing we can do about that. We will 100% have to restart and update again later. It could be in 10 minutes or 3 hours. We don't know.
Also, air drops are fucked and cannot be looted. FP is working on a fix and we'll have to update for that too.
Servers will be up soon with this dev build.
Build was fucked. We get it. Waiting for next dev build before we give it another go.

We've narrowed down an issue with flame turrets going off. Crashes the server. Happened on our modded server too. It was just a matter of time before all the servers started crashing over it so we took them all down to get a gameplan/fix implemented.

Facepunch has released a new client update that should fix airdrops being unlootable. Update your game before you throw any supply signals!
golden cargo
For all of you that are not completely in the loop, here is a bit of an update.
The crashes have been happening on many, many servers. The cause is still unknown and we are actively searching for any cause. It has been like this since the update and it is clear that this build of the server is very, very unstable.
We have tried just about everything in our power to prevent them, but it's quite frankly just out of our hands. All we can do is restart them as they go down until Facepunch can get to the bottom of it and release an update.
I know it's frustrating and believe me, I don't like getting 3 hours of sleep to keep the servers online. If there was something we could do, we would. Once we have more information I'll be sure to update y'all here.
golden cargo
An update as promised:
There are at least 2 known crashes in vanilla servers right now. One of which is being fixed in a mandatory update today at 2pm CST. The second is still being investigated and we'll hopefully have an answer sooner rather than later. We will see how performance is after the update today and go from there.
This does mean that we will be updating all of our servers right around 2pm CST and you'll have a client update as well.

Update got pushed up. We'll be updating servers shortly.

Medium map was broken. Having to rewipe. Be back up in a few minutes.

@here Kind of late notice, but we have soft-launched a new NA server: Rusty Moose |Mini|
It is a 100 pop, 2750 map, and weekly map wipe. We're making it have a "soft" group limit. Meaning if someone wants to play with 6, we will probably allow it, but if someone tries to show up with a stupid amount of people we'll tell them to fuck off.... politely of course. We will not be enforcing this as a rule set in stone. We will control groups on a case to case basis and at our sole discretion.
Its up for anyone to play around on, but it will be getting a full map/BP wipe on the 7th with the forced update.
weak cipher
Just a reminder, this Thursday is forced wipe (we have no idea what time). Meaning we're also wiping BPs on all servers.
Also meaning we're having our monthly 🎉 Boom Boom/Fireworks party 🎉 Wednesday night. Plan on getting kits to blow each other up, fly chinooks, drive cars, and defy gravity on Moose Main around 8:30-9pm EST. Feel free to log in a bit early to build yourself a shit-shack to stash your booty/respawn in. I'll be streaming it if you can't attend the shenanigans. 😘

Just a heads up: Steam is currently down and causing mass interruptions to online play. In other words... you can't join any Rust server right now. I think it's safe to assume there will be no update until after Steam is back up. We'll keep you posted with what we get.

A lot of you complain you don't have a way to record/upload footage for those weird situations you need to show us proof of something. Mostly those tweens dropping n-bombs.
Did your buddy get yelled at by his mom with the mic open? Make a sick play?
I've partnered up with Medal TV. It's a clipping app/platform (still being developed) designed to capture the last ~15-60 seconds with the tap of a hotkey that won't hog up disk space or lag out your PC. It's perfect for Rust for a multitude of reasons and you don't have to commit to recording all your gameplay.
⭐ https://medal.tv/?ref=errn_partner ⭐ To sign up and download. You can direct DM me your clips right from the app. They have a mobile version too.
I've also created a Rust group for those of you that want to share your clips with other Rusters. https://medal.gg/Z2BxeZF (just copy paste the code at the end if clicking doesn't work)

We were forced to load it with a new map as all other options were exhausted. Very sorry for the shitty news but it is what it is. I did save a copy of the map prior to wiping in case any new intel comes to light and we can salvage it. But as of right now Bi-weekly has a fresh map. xoxo
rapid raftBOT
weak cipher
@here As some of you may know we ended up with a corrupt save for the #archive-na-biweekly server last night and after a couple hours of trying to salvage it we were forced to wipe/load it with a new map. While it fixed the crashing, it also cause some shenanigans. Few things to note:
-
Server is not showing up in the server list at the moment. It crashing 4-5 times in a 15 minute span flagged some bad juju and we got blacklisted for 24 hours because the server police bot though we were faking player counts. You will need to use direct connect options till the IP is released later tonight.
connect biweekly.moose.gg:28015in F1 console -
This blacklist also affected the Hapis server as they share an IP.
connect hapis.moose.gg:28025in F1 console -
This fucks with our wipe schedule pretty badly. Our choices were to wipe the server last night, or leave it offline for 4 days till Thursday's scheduled wipe. Obviously wiping it was the lesser of two evils.
-
We will be re-wiping it (map only) Thursday as per normal schedule. I know this kind of sucks for some of you but a combination of wiping it at 1am and the IP being blacklisted the server won't fully repopulate to a level that will sustain a 2.5 week wipe. We'd rather it be dead with 50 people on it for 4 days instead of 20 days. Most expect a wipe Thursday.
We appreciate your understanding in these difficult times. We will rebuild. Better. Faster. Stronger. 💪 ✊

Once you're updated and if you are a Nitro subscriber, you can go to the cog by your name and click the Nitro tab. In there is a server select dropdown which we should be listed in. We'd greatly appreciate it if you gave us your Boost for your first go and it has a 1 week cooldown.

Hey @everyone! Sorry for the ping but it's important this time.
As many of you noticed, we have recently changed a lot of the permissions and channels around. We decided to do this for many reasons, but this will let us funnel all of new comer reeing noobs into one channel instead of having to actively moderate 10 different channels.
All of the server channels are still there, you just need to sync your Discord account to your forum account. This will give you access to all of the public text and voice channels as well as a few other permissions such as adding reactions and uploading images. Additionally, if you are a VIP then you'll also have embedding permissions.
You can sync your Discord account here: https://moose.gg/settings/login/?service=13
We plan to expand on these changes in the future with possible new channels and sections allowing people to opt-in and opt-out of channels they don't want to see. But we'll have more info on that when the time comes.

@here Sorry for the ping again... I know we've had a lot recently. But it's for a good reason!
We are happy to announce we will be soft-launching our new Rusty Moose |Bi-Weekly EU| (2 week wipe) today. It will be wiping map and BPs again at forced, but we figured we'd throw it up a few weeks early just for those of you that wanna hop on.
Connect: connect biweekly.eu.moose.gg:28015 or find it on the Official Server section of the browser.
We will be wiping it at GMT+1 (10 mins from this post) and it'll be up until forced. The NA servers will be wiping at 5pm EST as usual.
Also, if you haven't voted in the poll for main's map yet, be sure to get your vote in! https://moose.gg/forums/topic/2971-6-20-19-map-poll-for-main/

Facepunch just released a MANDATORY patch to introduce the Chippy arcade item and some other random hotfixes we needed. We'll be updating/restarting all the servers here shortly. You will need to update your game clients in order to reconnect once we've done so. No it's not a fucking wipe.

We're aware that the Biweekly EU server is still having issues with Steam Auth Timeout. We're investigatimg and trying to get to the bottom of it. We'll update as we have more info.
golden cargo
@here Just a heads up to any Bi-Weekly EU players: we're still having some issues with Steam Auth Timeouts and have been in contact with our provider. It's been a long road, but we're slowly getting somewhere.
I won't get into the details, but basically what is happening is the server will allow ~80-85 players to connect to the server and then anyone else attempting to connect with get "Steam Auth Timeout" errors. This will not affect the already connected players, but no more will be able to join.
It's for this reason we haven't listed any VIP for sale for the server, and we won't until we get it working how we expect all of servers to run. As for this coming wipe, we'll monitor it closely and if we're still having a few issues, we'll probably lower pop on it down to what the network will allow without getting the auth errors. As soon as we get the network issues fixed with that server we'll jump it back up to the 200 it's supposed to be out.
All servers other than Bi-Weekly EU are unaffected. We'll wipe whenever the update hits (we don't know when that'll be).

@everyone Well... it looks like a combination of weird shit happened with the update and our wipe/server manager in the backend. It wiped the maps unintentionally.
This is the first time this has ever happened to us and we're dearly sorry for any progress you've made in the last 24 hours.
With that being said... happy wipe day 2.0. We're taking steps to ensure this never happens again.
For those of you looking for a postmortem:
We are using a new wipe/server manager for all of our servers. Unfortunately, it had a bug that unintentionally wiped the save files for all of the maps. Clearly we did not intend for this happen, and it is the first time we have ever, in our 5 years, made this mistake.
It has already been fixed and will never happen again. In fact, we're working to add proper backup systems in place so we'll always have a backlog of save files.
You can all be as mad and send me all the dumb shit as you could ever possibly want to, but it's not going to change anything. The damage has already been done, and there's nothing we can do.
It is now up to you to decide if you want to still be mad at me or go play some Rust on a fresh map.
I understand the frustration, and I apologize on behalf of all of us.
We promise to do better.

Hey guys, we're still looking into the various issues plaguing Rust servers right now. Quite a few things are not properly working right now and unfortunately it's completely out of our control. We know you are all eagerly waiting to play Rust, and the Moose Team are heads down looking into these issues and are communicating with Facepunch, the larger Rust server community and the team at Oxide as solutions is found for these issues.
Will we rewipe? We don't know at this point and we are currently focused on making sure the servers run in a stable fashion before we can address things like that.
Is there any sort of ETA? Unfortunately not. We are still discovering new issues aside from the RPC kicks. We are working through these issues with the rest of the Rust server community and Facepunch. We will keep you posted as we work through these issues.

There's been quite a bit of controversy lately over the max team members allowed in the TeamUI system on our main servers. So I just want to give a bit of insight into our thoughts and our decisions surrounding that.
For those of you that are not aware, we increased the TeamUI limit on NA Main & EU Main last week to 16 as an experiment. We got a lot of valuable feedback from the community and it helped us get a better understanding of what you all are thinking.
With that being said, we want to continue this experiment further this week and reduce both Main's TeamUI to max of 12. I cannot stress enough that this is just an experiment and we're trying different things to see what makes the most sense.
We are not making final changes or any final decisions with this - just simply trying new things. I know a lot of NA Main players prefer 16, but we want to give 12 a shot as well to see if it can work.
Thanks for your cooperation and understanding! Have a great wipe day, y'all. ❤️

@everyone I apologize for the long delays this forced wipe.
We were putting in a new deployment system and switching to a new modding framework to handle things like VIP and we ran into some issues. We had been testing them since Monday on our #archive-na-mondays server with no issues, which made us confident enough to put it on all our servers. Clearly that was a mistake.
All servers should be up and running now with a fresh wipe. We'll be sure to do much more testing for next time. Have a good wipe!

@here Good morning nerds! Today will be an odd day. If you haven't been living under a rock, you'll be familiar with the Rust Summer DLC coming out today. Servers scheduled to wipe today will still do so at their normal times.
Facepunch is releasing the DLC update at 19:00 BST / 14:00 EDT which we will be restarting ALL Moose servers to apply the update shortly after this time.
If all goes well, basic flow for today is:
-EU servers scheduled to wipe, do so at 12pm EST
-FP releases update at 2pm EST
-Moose updates/restarts all servers
-NA servers scheduled to wipe, do so at 5pm EST
If you do not know how to google time zones, our calendar displays wipe times in your local time. https://moose.gg/calendar/

Sorry about the delayed wipe this evening. This was due to Amazon Web Services (AWS) having some operational issues with their EC2 instances in the us-east-1 region.
While we were able to start the servers regardless of these issues (although later than normal), our website may still experience some issues such as increase errors or longer loading times.
Additionally, if you purchase VIP it may take a few minutes longer than normal to activate. Have a good wipe!

Just a heads up: Some of our servers are running slightly modified custom maps. If you do not see a bandit camp on your server it's because it is combined with outpost. Everything will be at outpost including the Heli vendor.

@here Sorry for the ping again but it's important! There's an issue with static workbenches that exist in the monuments. If you try and use them they will kick you from the server.
You will have to relaunch your game completely after this happens or it will keep kicking you.
We're working on getting a fix and said fix will require a restart on all servers at some point. We will give ample notice in chat before we restart.
Player-placed ones work fine.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, @everyone!
I hope you all are staying safe in these strange times and having a good holiday season so far. With the new year quickly approaching I’d like to announce a few changes we’re making here at Rusty Moose.
Firstly, with it being the holiday season and with the news of there being a global blueprint wipe on January 7th, we’ll be moving our weekly, monday, and bi-weekly wipe time to 3:00 PM EST/GMT starting this week on December 24th.
Secondly, we have done quite a bit of number crunching and research around our current anti-VAC rules. We found that less than 1% of the cheaters we ban have multiple VAC/Game bans on record. With these new findings we will be adjusting our rules accordingly to be a little more forgiving to players that have more than 1 VAC/Game ban on record. This is a rule that our staff has been very passionate about over the years and we will continue to fine tune it to let as many players have fun as possible while still keeping our servers cheater-free and fun.
Lastly, in the spirit of happiness and forgiveness and all the other things that the holidays make us feel, we have purged any bans from our ban list that are not directly cheater related. This will include any racism, toxicity, fraud, or other miscellaneous bans we have issued over the years. Some of these bans date back to 2015 and have been long since forgotten. I think everyone deserves a second chance from time to time.
Thank you all for your continued support of Rusty Moose and as always, we’ll see you on the island.
Happy Holidays,
Jexs

Just a heads up, we upgraded our EU servers to new hardware tonight and EU Bi-Weekly and EU Monthly servers got new IPs. We hate that it had to happen, but anything for even better performance!
You can still connect to them using the direct connect or searching for them on the Official list.
connect biweekly.eu.moose.gg:28015
connect monthly.eu.moose.gg:28015

@everyone Sorry for the ping! But its important!
We have upgraded all of our hardware (yay even better performance!) for our NA servers this morning and completed the EU upgrades last night. Unfortunately as a side effect of this we have lost the IPs to the majority of our servers.
We've taken steps to avoid having to lose our IP for future hardware upgrades, though. So this should be the last time this happens.
As always you can find the servers in the Official list of the server browser or you can direct connect using the IPs here: https://moose.gg/servers
Thank you for your understanding and we'll see you on the island!

Hey @here! We're excited to announce we'll be launching 2 new servers this Thursday, January 7th!

Hey just FYI if you're getting DMs about scams just block! We do ban them but it takes time as they send in 150 bots at once. No need to make a big deal about it. Just block them and don't click on anything then move on. Thank you, drive through! 🙂
It would be beneficial to you to change your discord settings to "keep me safe" as it scans content DM'd to you. May the force be with you. 🖖

@here
After the restart this morning to apply a server update we became aware that US Mondays was not saving its maps properly and resulted in a rollback of ~8 hours.
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to get the lost time back and we'll let the remainder of the wipe play out.
This is more than likely due to a bug on the server and we'll see if we can get it addressed to avoid it happening in the future.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
golden cargo
Just a heads up, we just got botted again by another ~200 accounts. If you get a DM from a random user offering you something for free DO NOT CLICK IT. It is a scam.
Best you can do is block the account and move on. We'll remove them from the server as we find them.
