Entity Spawning

01What it does

Entity Spawning is your admin toolbox for putting things into the game without logging in and typing anything yourself. It has two modes, picked with the big buttons at the top of the panel: Player and Coordinates.

• Player gives inventory items (guns, armour, resources, meds, the drone, anything you can hold) to one online player.
• Coordinates spawns world entities (crates, barrels, vehicles, animals, ore nodes and a few deployables) at an X, Y, Z position you choose.

The two are kept separate on purpose. Items always need a player to land on, and world entities always need a spot on the map. If you try to give a minicopter as an item, or spawn an AK at coordinates, the panel won't let you. Drone is an inventory item only — search it in Player mode. It is not on the Coordinates list.

02Giving items to a player

1. 1Open Features > Entity Spawning and make sure Player is selected.
2. 2Start typing the player's in-game name. Players who have linked their account show up as suggestions with their Discord name next to them. You don't have to pick a suggestion, any name typed in works as long as that player is online.
3. 3Search for items by name in the Items box and tap one to add it to your give list.
4. 4Set the amount on each item with the minus and plus buttons, or type a number straight in.
5. 5Hit Send. Items are delivered one at a time and you get a message telling you how many went through.

The player has to be online on that server when you press Send. If they're not, you'll see That player is not online. and nothing gets sent.

03Spawning entities at a spot

1. 1Switch to Coordinates.
2. 2Fill in X, Y and Z. You can paste a whole position like (-1146.04, 21.68, 920.63) into any one of the boxes and all three fill in at once.
3. 3Or stand where you want things to appear in game and press Use my Location. Surge reads where your linked in-game name is standing and fills the boxes for you.
4. 4Pick a category (Crates, Interactables, Vehicles, Animals, World) to see every spawn in that group with its picture, then tap one to add it. Tap the same one again to add another, or use the quantity buttons on the list below.
5. 5Press Spawn. Everything spawns at that exact point, one at a time.

Crates is the category that opens first. Switch to Interactables for workbenches, the recycler, SAM site, vending machine, water well, toilet, keycard reader and keycard pickups. Vehicles has minicopter, scrap heli, attack heli, modular cars, boats, bikes, horse and hot air balloon. Animals has bear, boar, chicken, shark, stag and wolf. World has ore nodes, nodettes, palm trees, both cargo ships and the magnet crane. You can still search by name inside a category, or tap All.

04Adding your own entities

Need something that isn't in the grid? Add it yourself. Custom entities are saved to that server and show up in Your entities, right above the built-in list, every time you open Coordinates mode.

1. 1In Coordinates mode, click Add custom entity.
2. 2Type the Entity name: the exact name your server spawns it by, with no spaces (for example bradleyapc).
3. 3Optionally give it a Display name, which is what shows on its tile. Leave it empty to show the entity name.
4. 4Optionally paste an Icon image link (it has to start with https://). The Preview shows the tile exactly as it'll look.
5. 5Click Save entity. It appears in Your entities straight away, ready to tap and spawn like any other.

• Each server can save up to 40 custom entities.
• Your entities can be found with the search box too, by display name or entity name.
• No icon, or a link that won't load? The tile shows a neon cube instead, so it still looks tidy.
• To remove one, hover its tile and click the × in the corner (on a phone the × is always showing). It only leaves your list. Nothing in game is touched.
• Entities already in the built-in list can't be added again.

05Limits at a glance

• Up to 24 different items in one give. Each item can only be in the list once, so just raise its amount instead of adding it twice.
• Item amounts go from 1 up to 2,147,483,647. That top number is the biggest stack Rust can handle, anything higher would break in game.
• Up to 20 of any single entity and 50 entities in total per spawn.
• X and Z must be between -10,000 and 10,000. Y must be between -1,000 and 5,000. Coordinates are rounded to two decimal places.

06When the server pushes back

Sometimes the server gets busy and can't take everything at once. If that happens, Surge stops and tells you how many were done and how many are left.

The nice part is your list isn't lost. Whatever didn't go through stays in the panel, already trimmed down to just the leftovers, so you only need to press Send (or Spawn) again to finish. Nobody gets double items.

If some items fail for another reason, the ones that worked are removed from your list and the failed ones stay, so you can see exactly what still needs sorting.

07Good to know

• Everything in a coordinates spawn lands on the same point. Fifty crates on one spot will pile up, so spread big drops over a few spawns if you want them laid out.
• Spawning a vehicle or animal in the air or underground works if the coordinates say so. Use Use my Location when you're not sure of the height.
• Vehicles, animals, crates and nodes never show up in the item search. That's deliberate, they aren't inventory items. Use Coordinates mode for those.
• The panel needs the bot connected to your server. If it isn't, you'll see a message saying the server connection is offline, just try again once it's back.
