Servers

What does Premium mean?

To connect to Premium Hardcore, your Steam account needs at least $15 spent on Rust DLC or skins. Otherwise it runs the same hardcore rules, events and quests as our Hardcore server, with a monthly wipe instead of every two weeks and no purge.

Don’t meet the requirement yet? Hardcore is open to everyone.

Store & perks

How do I get free perks?

Link your Steam and Discord accounts through our free perks page. Sign in with both, stay in the Discord, and the perks are applied to your account in-game automatically.

Where can I purchase VIP?

VIP and other packages are sold on the TLOR store. Sign in with Steam so the purchase is delivered to the right account. Every purchase helps keep the servers running.

Building & bases

What is Sign Artist?

Sign Artist lets you put any image or text on a sign, picture frame or banner without painting it by hand. Look at the sign, then type one of these in chat:

  • /sil <image link> for an image. Use a direct link ending in .png or .jpg.
  • /silt <text> for text.
What is Skinbox?

Skinbox lets you reskin things you already own. It costs scrap.

  • /sb opens it for items.
  • /sd skins deployables, like boxes and doors.
How can I share entities with other players?

Look at the door, box, turret or other entity, then type in chat:

  • /share <player name> to share it with one player, or /unshare <player name> to stop.
  • /share to let everyone use or loot it, or /unshare to stop.
  • /sharelist to see who it’s shared with.
How do I stack boxes?

Place a large wood box, then aim at the top of it while holding another box and place it there. You can keep stacking upward to save floor space.

Progression

How do I use the tech tree?

There is no tech tree on our hardcore servers. You unlock blueprints by finding the item out in the world and researching it at a research table with scrap.
