Simply select a range for Map sizes and Biome preferences, and it will go to work displaying maps that meet your criteria. You can search for maps using the map gallery located on the home page. RustMaps is a service that is kept up to date by some well-known members of the rust server hosting community, hoppel and Mr.Blue. To see what your map would look like once generated, you can use a service such as RustMaps. Once you have a seed and size that you like, click and restart your server. It all depends on how you, the server owner, want to operate the server. If it's too small, competition for gather nodes and resources may be too high. Also you may have long runs without running into anyone. Be mindful of what you choose, as if the map is too large, your server may fail to be able to load the map and you may be required to wipe. Note: The map you choose is what your players will be playing on for the duration of your wipe cycle. Anything above 4000 will result in a warning shown to your players by Rust that they may not be able to play your server without performance issues. I highly recommend you choose a map between 35. If you plan on hosting a PVP server, smaller sizes are more ideal, but this all depends on the active player population. We recommend setting this around 4,000 for the best experience. More spawnable area means more entities, which means more ram used. Larger seeds may take longer to load and WILL introduce lag and instability as it uses a vast amount of resources.
This value can range anywhere from 1500 to 6,000. It's recommended to keep your seed between 1, and 999999. (The latter being the max value of a 32-bit signed integer.) However, it has been seen that maps with seeds larger than 6 digits can have problems reliably generating with expected monuments and navmesh topology. this can be anywhere from 1 to 2147483647. To get started, click on to select it as the default commandline option, and you'll be presented with some options: It simply has the basic settings required to start your server, with a map of your choosing. The one to use a normal map from or similar site is "Procedural Map. Yyou should see the option, Commandline Manager.Ĭlicking this will bring you to a list of launch configs.
Fortunately, you can do this very easily via the TCAdmin panel.įirst, inside of TCAdmin, navigate to the desired server. You can revert your changes, by switching back to the original seed and world size.Ĭustomizing your map is a crucial part of the Rust experience.
If you don't like the new map, or want to go back for any reason, be sure to note the original seed and world size used. Using the "New Server" commandline, it will generate a new map, and use that map instead of your old one. Notice: Doing this will not erase your existing map.
