Rates that survive restarts

Rust Console server settings that survive restarts

A lot of the settings you change on a running Rust Console server don’t survive a restart. You set 3x gather, the server reboots overnight, and in the morning it’s back to vanilla.

Surge saves every supported setting you change in My Settings. When the server comes back up, it gives it about 30 seconds to settle and then puts every saved setting back, in the order you first set them.

  4. After a restart, it’s applied again by itself.

Server Settings questions

Why do my Rust Console server settings reset after a restart?

Many settings changed on a running server aren’t kept by the game. Surge keeps its own copy and applies them again after each reboot.

Do I need to know console commands?

No. Everything is buttons, sliders and dropdowns. Custom Commands are there for anything that doesn’t have a button yet.

Can I re-apply my settings by hand?

Yes. Run Boot Commands applies everything right away and shows each setting going through live.
