I’m not responding to the bulk of comments, join my discord and check the help forum, 99% chance I’ve answered your question or problem to someone else. You need an authentic game copy, no cracked accounts work. If the drive you have rust on has a different assigned letter than “C:”, just change the letter in your .bat file, this will solve the “file path” error. If it says steam auth failed and you have a good game copy, reinstall the server after verifying your game files on steam. This does still work if you do it right, i can assure you. You need to port forward to add your friends on, there’s a link in the description, watch those videos. :)
@WaffleWolff you don't need additional folders. when you click the steamcmd.exe file it creates the needed folders/files after installing steamcmd. The additional folders are not necessary.
i love when videos are straight forward, no annoying self plugs that make the process longer. straight to the point and easy to do, thank you for this awesome tut.
This actually worked! Thank you so much for this! I've lost track of the amount of times I've Googled "How to host a local Rust server" and none of the walkthroughs I've followed have ever worked. They're either too out of date or just plain wrong. This was so straightforward and too the point! Thank you so much!
only one that actually explained that the files had to be in the same directory and went into how stuff worked, but not too much to the point where it was confusing. you rock man, keep up the great work, you just earned a few subs when i tell the bois about you!!!!!
thanks, so Much i was looking everywhere For an tutorial like this and you got straight to the point and it worked first time Keep up the good work you also got 1 more subscriber :)
Dude, I love you. All the build servers have a 12 year old lagging out the server by spawning a million bear rugs, or they have a super low limit on what entities can be spawned. This just fixed all my problems. Running like a dream on my pc.
I followed all the steps and got my server up and running only problem is when I go onto the f1 console I don’t know how to spawn myself any items, if I click on items then click arm, nothing happens?? Do you know how?
If you have a problem with bat or cmd files MAKE SURE you run them as administrator (you need to do this bcs the file doesnt have accses to download or read files)
This worked great. Its insane how much pve there is without other players on the map. Edit: it's also super great to learn the monuments. Sure enjoy getting fully geared and doing oil rig and stuff, but it's also great to practice being a minimalist. Also after practice on koala flight server, it's good tofly with medium consequences of losing your chopper vs contending with a barage of gun fire.
Okay well, I think my step 1 of having a working game is done for- As my rust seems to crash whenever I play. Maybe I installed the wrong version I have no clue
[pin this] for all of u who have rust on another card like D: or E: if u start the bat data it says datapath not found then u have to change the text which u have copyed from the descr. which says echo off at the start u have to change at all sentances the c: to an d: or an e: except for this it is an very very good tut. keep going and thanks for pinning this it´ll help everyone 👍
Dude I had made a server awhile back and have been struggling to make my server work again. 1st time doing your method and it works perfectly again thank you.
everything seemed to work, but when loading the server, it throws me out and writes me this invalidauthsession :/ sorry for my english.. Thanks for help
I wanted to make my own server and make it last more than 30 days, avoiding rust updates, or if I can't avoid rust updates, I can save the whole data in the server (like people's house creations, their loots in storages, their items in their inventory) -- so I can apply it to the new Rust update with the same map, same base creations and same loots and items for other players. I wanted to have this as a long term private RP server for me and my friends. Is this possible to do?
If you know how to save and load .sav files created by the server you can do part of this, if you have a local server, it’ll be updating when your rust client updates so it’s hard to avoid the wipes, impossible really as EAC will probably prohibit that and get mad at you or something like that.
How do I change how fast items despawn. Like my horse dung with hot the ground and despawn within seconds. I've died and by the time I go to get my bag it's gone. There has to be a setting that allows me to change this. Any help would be amazing thank you!
www.gtxgaming.co.uk/clientarea/knowledgebase/748/How-to-adjust-decay-on-your-Rust-Server.html This website has a bunch of decay commands you can tweak.
when i typed connect localhost:28015, it connected me to a server called Amsterdam II, it shows 225 players r online. I cant even connect to the server. I need ur help waffle:DD???
That is your server. Any server you client.connect to will show that. The config options for name and description are for public servers if you were to port forward.
Hi, me and my friend made a server, through hamachi and using the CMD, but when he tries to join it says "Rejecting connection - Steam Auth Error: Invalid" and then kicked: "Steam Auth Failed" could you please tell me how to fix this?
Hello! I'm trying to create my own Rust server for cinematics but the only "issue:" is that I need the server in an older version. Is there a way of making that happen?
I don't know if it's a mod I put in but when I place a furnace I put wood in it and turn it on it works fine but as soon as I grab any ore in my inventory to the furnace breaks and I get a error message. I need to know how to fix this. Like if you go to sandbox In rust the build server and if you try to place ore in a furnace it will break and give you that same message this is what is happening to me
'RustDedicated.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file can happen when you put the batch file on your desktop. try to run it from This PC/(_:)/rustserver instead
You wipe it when you want to. Facepunch releases a new update monthly first Thursday of every month so you may be forced to wipe it on those days as your game will update meaning the server automatically will since it runs off of your game.
Wipe is manual, and typically required on a force wipe to apply an update. You can spawn stuff in console yes. Spawn items and car parts in the Items tab, and spawn a car module using “spawn car” and it’ll give you a list of every car module chassis you can spawn.
i did everything correct but when i enter the command into the main menu's f1 console it does not connect me to the server and says disconnected reason: disconnected any help?
Hi so Im getting this weird glitch where it says ders removal was intentional, you may have forgotten turning Fallback off? and then it stops loading.. How do I fix?
Press enter it skips non critical errors. The rust server console is full of bugs, it’s normal and has no effect. It sometimes loads in the background, I usually let it sit for 15min and try joining regardless of if the console confirms the server is running.
You have to grant yourself ownerid with the command near the end of the video in the command prompt. It’ll be “ownerid steam64ID”, just replace the steam64ID with your own and run the command, you may have to reconnect. If it worked, the “noclip” command will work in your F1 console.
Staging branch includes the new items being added before they’re added to the main branch, so you can try things out. No you do not need a website, leave the config settings blank for most cases except for world seed and size. No one can show up on your server unless you port forward it.
Are you keeping the CMD file (rustserver.bat) open in the background? If you close it the server shuts down. Also make sure it fully loads, it’ll be ready if it says “BradleyAPC spawned at -.-.-“, or “SteamServer Connected” most often.
This doesn’t work every time i put in the f1 command to join it gets to 9700/10495 then crashes and insta closes so now I have all this useless downloaded shit on my pc thanks I guess also I like how you didn’t open the game showing it works…
This isnt working for me everything else was fine but at the last part I enter f1 console and do the commands then it connects me to a server that has 222/500 people??? and it doesnt load it says connect on the server idk???
The 223/500 is a placeholder value. Any server you client.connect to is going to show that. It’s normal. You can’t use the buttons you see there either. Use “client.connect” and “disconnect” from your F1 console.s
help it when i want to connect it shows me disconect: wrong connection protocol client update required and it says like this :their protocol is 2392 not 2397nt update required!
Hey waffle just wanted to know how i could get my friends to join my server, ik i have to port forward through my router but do you think you could do a video on that? Thanks man!
Your tutorial is great, but after all that the server crushed when it loaded... i didn`t expect that in 2023 there are survival multiplayer games like this that don`t give you an offline-single player option in game (like Ark, 7Days, Valheim, and any other survival game)... wanted to try the game in PVE mod but no servers were found... sooo refund it is ;) Shame on the developers for forcing people to either play on toxic servers or make the work they should do to begin with
If you set up LogMeIn Hamachi then I believe so, people do that for Minecraft. It pretty much simulates them being on the same wifi as you and lets them use the same local host connect command. Otherwise watch video in description about port forwarding
you kinda need a good pc like 16gig of ram or more or a i7 or higher and if you dont have a lot of storage left then that could also be a problem hope this works.
If it says steam auth failed then verify game files and try again. If you’re on a cracked version of rust you can’t get past the error. Make sure you install it preferably on the same drive as rust. If you pick the M drive, change the arguments in the commands from c: to m:

This guy is amazing. Your server is so goated with you handing out free downloads and asking for nothing in return. a true gentleman
absolute live saver thanks man
Thank you! This function should be implemented in the game.
If you have a problem with bat or cmd files MAKE SURE you run them as administrator (you need to do this bcs the file doesnt have accses to download or read files)
how do u run it as administrator?
oh, wait now ik I am just dumb lol...
Thank you!
HOLY COW IT WORKED!!! NO MORE GETTING DOMED BY A SWEAT JUST TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO BUILD AHHH!!!!
You can even search up servers on battlemetrics and find their maps to use on your own server to plan out everything before you build ;)
Tkx I will sure try this out when I am going to play rust next time bc there was no free solo servers anywhere
This worked great. Its insane how much pve there is without other players on the map.
Edit: it's also super great to learn the monuments. Sure enjoy getting fully geared and doing oil rig and stuff, but it's also great to practice being a minimalist. Also after practice on koala flight server, it's good tofly with medium consequences of losing your chopper vs contending with a barage of gun fire.
What? There is plenty of empty servers or pve servers for that
Still works, Thanks!

when ever i try to start it, it loads up all the assets then says " UriFormatException: invail uri: invail port specified.anyone know what to do?
can it let me fly around and stuff? because its not right now.
