Rules for Rust
First the rules that only apply in Rust, then the rules for all servers. By joining you accept both.
Regeln auf den Rust-Servern
- Kein Cheating: Hacks, Skripte oder das Ausnutzen von Bugs = permanenter Bann. Das Spielen mit Cheatern wird identisch bestraft.
- Team-Limit je nach Server: Auf dem Small-Server (Karte 3500) maximal 2 Spieler pro Team. Auf dem Medium-Server (Karte 4500) darf ein Team bis zu 8 Mitglieder führen, von denen aber höchstens 4 gleichzeitig online sein dürfen. Der Fünfte kommt nicht auf den Server. Das gilt jeweils für Roaming, Raiding, Verteidigung sowie TC-/Schloss-Autorisierungen.
- Keine Allianzen: Kein Teaming und keine Friedenspakte zwischen verschiedenen Gruppen. Kein Verschenken von High-Tier-Loot, kein „Slaving“. Handel ist nur über Safe-Zone-Tauschfenster oder Verkaufsautomaten erlaubt.
- Mate-Wechsel: Dauerhafte Team-Wechsel müssen vorab per Discord-Ticket genehmigt werden.
- Chat: Nur Englisch/Deutsch. Keine anstößige Schilder-Kunst (Sign-Art).
- Griefing: Eine geraidete Basis darf nicht dauerhaft versiegelt werden. Der ursprüngliche Besitzer muss nach dem Raid Zugang behalten. Kein massives Campen an Safe-Zone-Grenzen.
- Kein Offline-Raid: Eine Basis, deren Besitzer alle offline sind, darf nicht geraidet werden. Besitzer sind alle am TC berechtigten Spieler und ihre Teammitglieder. Geschützt ist eine Basis, sobald alle Besitzer seit mindestens 30 Minuten offline sind. Ein Raid, der begonnen hat, als noch jemand online war, darf zu Ende geführt werden, solange er nicht länger als 10 Minuten ruht. Nicht geschützt sind Basen ohne TC, ohne berechtigte Spieler und Basen, deren Besitzer seit mehr als 24 Stunden nicht online waren. Wer sich einer geschützten Basis nähert, bekommt einen Hinweis im Chat; Verstöße meldet der Server automatisch an das Team.
Dazu gelten die allgemeinen Regeln: Umgangston, Support-Weg und Ablauf bei Verstößen. Fragen dazu im Discord.
Rules on the Rust servers
- No Cheating: Hacks, scripts, or exploiting bugs = permanent ban. Playing with cheaters carries the same penalty.
- Team limit by server: On the Small server (map 3500) a maximum of 2 players per team. On the Medium server (map 4500) a team may have up to 8 members, but no more than 4 of them online at the same time. The fifth is refused at connect. Either way this applies to roaming, raiding, defending, and TC/lock authorizations.
- No Alliances: No teaming or peace pacts between different groups. No gifting high-tier loot or slaving. Trading is only allowed via safe zone trade windows or vending machines.
- Swapping Mates: Permanent teammate changes must be approved via a Discord ticket before making the switch.
- Chat: English/German only. No offensive sign art.
- Griefing: Do not permanently seal a raided base. The original owner must be able to access it after the raid. No heavy camping of safe zone borders.
- No offline raiding: Do not raid a base while all of its owners are offline. Owners are all players authorized on the TC and their team mates. A base is protected once every owner has been offline for at least 30 minutes. A raid that started while an owner was online may be finished, as long as it does not pause for more than 10 minutes. Bases without a TC, without authorized players, or whose owners have not been online for more than 24 hours are not protected. Players near a protected base get a chat notice, and violations are reported to the staff automatically.
The general rules apply on top of these: conduct, support channel and enforcement. Questions in the Discord.
For all servers and the Discord
How we treat each other
- Respect: No insults, no toxic behaviour, no harassment, in game or on Discord.
- No hate speech: Racism, sexism or homophobia lead to an immediate permanent ban. There is no warning for this.
- Content: No NSFW content, no gore, no illegal links, not even as sign art or base decoration.
- Advertising: No advertising for other servers or platforms.
- Language: German or English, so the team can follow along.
Fair play
- No cheating: Hacks, scripts and exploiting bugs are banned on every server. Playing alongside cheaters is treated the same way.
- No dupes: Duplicating items is a ban, without a warning.
- No ban evasion: A ban applies to the person, not the account. Alternate accounts are banned too.
- No exploiting server bugs: Report any bug you find. Exploit one and you lose access.
- No stream sniping: Using someone's live stream to learn their position, base or gear is treated the same as cheating. Watching is fine, hunting along is not.
Reporting something
- No public call-outs: Do not accuse anyone in chat. It settles nothing and disturbs everyone else.
- Open a ticket: Report incidents in the
#supportchannel on Discord. That is the only route that gets handled. - Include evidence: Without proof there is nothing to check.
- Cheating or teaming: a video clip (Medal, YouTube) and the combat log.
- Chat incidents: unedited screenshots.
- In-game bugs: a short description, the location and a clip if possible.
What a breach leads to
- Sequence: warning → kick → ban. For cheating, dupes and hate speech the warning is skipped.
- Who decides: depending on severity, admins may mute, kick or ban.
- Appeals: Team decisions are final. If you think one is wrong, open a ticket instead of arguing in public chat.
These rules can change. Changes are announced on Discord.
