One emote to set it up
The leader stands in the middle of the base and uses Can I Build Around Here?. The Goodbye emote removes it.
Offline raid protection
Zorp offline raid protection for Rust Console servers
Zorp is offline raid protection built on Rust’s own team system. The team leader drops a zone on their base with a quick chat emote. From then on Surge watches who on that team is online and switches the zone by itself.
The rule is simple: online means raidable, offline means protected. When the last teammate logs off and your delay runs out, building damage inside the zone switches off. The moment someone comes back, the base is fair game again.

What you get
A delay that stops log-out abuse
You choose how long Surge waits after the last person logs off. If anyone comes back during the delay, it’s cancelled.
Colours players can read
Zones are yellow while the team is online and cyan once it’s protected. The outline is always drawn in game.
Your rules for each state
Pick PvP, NPC damage, building and optional radiation for online and offline separately.
Cleans up after itself
A Zorp is removed when the team changes, grows past your team limit or stays offline longer than your expiry time.
A clear admin view
See every zone, who is in each team and when it switches or expires. Delete one by name or clear them all.
How to set it up
Open Features > Zorp System and set the zone size and team limit.
Choose what’s allowed inside the zone while the team is online and while it’s offline.
Set the Zorp Delay and Expiry Time, flip the switch on and save.
Tell your players to use the emote from the centre of their base.

Zorp questions
What does ZORP stand for?
Zone Offline Raid Protection. A team’s base can be raided while any of them are online, and it’s protected once the whole team has logged off.
Can a base still be raided while the owners are online?
Yes. Building damage is always on in an online zone and always off in an offline one. That part can’t be changed, it’s the whole idea.
Can I give Zorp to VIPs only?
Yes. Turn on the Zorp List under Management > Role Lists. Only players on it can create a zone.
