Custom Events
Drop up to 50 entities on a timer, like a locked crate at Dome every two hours. Use my Location fills in the coordinates for you.
Automatic events
Automatic events for Rust Console servers
Events give people a reason to log on and fight. The catch is that somebody has to run them. Surge runs them for you on a schedule, even when no admin is online.
Pick an event type, set how often it runs and, if you like, how many players need to be on before it fires. The bot spawns everything, posts your announcement in game and cleans up afterwards.

What you get
PvP Event
Opens an arena on a schedule. Players join with an emote or from the website, get a kit and a spawn spot, and the top killer is called out at the end.
1v1, 2v2 and 3v3
Premium arena events with an info zone, fight spots and a lobby. 2v2 and 3v3 can require real teams, the same list Zorp uses.
Docked Cargo
Parks the cargo ship where you choose for a set time. Locked crates appear one by one, then the ship sails away.
Wicked Oil
Drops up to 5 locked crates on the oil rigs over the event. Every hack calls in its own Chinook full of heavies.
Pop triggers
Hold an event until enough players are online, so nobody wins a crate on an empty server.
Players see what’s coming
The Events page on the Surge website shows when the next event starts and a live top 3 during PvP events.
How to set it up
Open the Events section of your server’s dashboard.
Pick an event, set the spots with Use my Location and choose an interval.
Add a pop trigger if you want one, then save.
The bot runs it from then on.

Every option is explained in the documentation: Custom Events guide.
Events questions
Do events run when no admin is online?
Yes. They run on the bot’s schedule as long as the bot is connected to your server.
How do players join a PvP event?
With the Can I Enter? emote in game, or the Join Event button on the Surge website. The Move Out emote takes them out.
Can I drop loot into a PvP arena?
Yes. Link up to 2 Custom Events to a PvP event and they spawn when the fight starts and get cleared when it ends.
