FAQ

(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions - Gameplay/Server

We can't promise with 100% certaintya a lag-free server anymore, as lag reports have skyrocketted since NavMesh updates, scientists, and bandit camp have been introduced. What we can promise is that with your support, we can either continue to upgrade hardware, switch hosts, or take any steps necessary to ensure a near lag-free environment. 

  • Our website's main page and our Discord's #server_announcement channel have active updates concerning our wipe. Our Discord allows us the freedom of posting way more information concurrently.

How do I skip the queue?

  • It's a donator perk available at the top of the webpage.

How do I PM or Private Message?  

  • Type /pm "Name Here" Hello
  • This would print a greeting to the player called "Name Here"
  • Example: /pm stweamuh yo whats good can u sign my steam profile

How do I respond to a PM?

  • Type /r Messagehere in-game to respond.

How can I appeal a friend's mute or ban, or my own?

  • Please visit the Contact section at the top of the webpage.

Why is the server lagging?

  • There is no linear and simple answer to this question. Debugging any conflicts, maintaining the server, optimizing our plugin loadouts are all possible reasons for lag.
  • We can't promise with 100% certainty a lag-free server anymore; although historically reports of lag usually scale upward with more content being added into the game, we've done our best to provide the most minimal plugin stack with the best hardware you can grab. This is also the only server running on this machine. What we can promise is that with your support, we can either continue to upgrade hardware, switch hosts, or take any steps necessary to maximally ensure a near lag-free environment. 
  • Previous steps we've taken to reduce lag: optimizing and trimming our plugin loadout from 58 plugins to 31, consulting with other owners, optimizing our MySQL database, server hardware upgrades, running optimization/diagnostic tools, and even reinstalling the server several times over. This list continues; rest assured, we will continue to work toward diagnosing and solving lag issues. Stay tuned on our Discord for concurrent announcements in our #server_announcements_and_ISSUES tab - we try to make well-known issues announced once we have found their cause.   
  • Current steps we're taking: working with professionals to optimize plugins and server-side settings. Our plan B is switching locations or hosts if necessary; we're prepared to take any venture necessary to prevent lag.

Do admins play?

  • Yes and no, admins/owner do not typically play; however, they reserve the right to do so. You will never have to worry about your base being jeapordized. A long withstanding relationship has been built on trust in this community, we're proud to report that among 5+ years of running the server, not once has there ever been substantial evidence for any admin abuse. 
  • With this being said, if it somehow occurs admin abuse is never tolerated. Admins will not be spawning in items or deleting your base unless it's directly relevant to a situation of a proven or EAC banned hacker.
  • If the owner is playing, he'll have shadowplay on, in case of accusations. Ask for a recording, and one will be provided to you- ideally at the end of the wipe.

What is the team size?

  • Team size is 8; the clan size is infinite.

Can I get an AK?

  • You won't get any items spawned in, if you want items you can ask other people in chat. 

Why have smelting buffs been removed?!

  • Smelting as a modification produces high risk for lag. We would rather allocate this to other categories within our resource management.
  • No smelting buffs also increase the scalability of the server. Ideally, this will be the only server we ever run.
  • No smelting buffs slow down the initial snowballing of players on wipe day. It also pushes activity to recycler machines at monuments more frequently during initial stages of wipe.

My question's not listed!

Not all questions can be simply and hastily answered. Feel free to contact a staff member on discord or to ask another member in #general if it's a generic, non-private question.

Build Exploit FAQ

   Why did i get banned from discord? how do i appeal?

Publicly talking about tickets, hackusations, or concerns that invoke lengthy discussions (often originally provocative, negative, or inappropriate for public chat) are not encouraged in our #general chat of our Discord. Slander isn't tolerated in our chats either, and often result in a mute or ban.

   You can refer to the top of each channel for appropriate content or directions concerning our Discord text channels.

Feedback & Comments FAQ

   Are you open to more servers?

Yes and no. We care about the mothership, Rusteros Near-Vanilla, more than anything else; however, when we have appropriate resources (staff or patreon) we may prepare for future servers. We have more than plenty of ideas from the community members over the course of our existence, and we have many ideas backpocketted for future servers. Feedback is always being gathered; however, optimization is #1.

Feedback & Comments FAQ

Feedback & Comments FAQ

   Am I allowed to post feedback about the server and give criticisms about management?

You're always allowed to message Stannis for any reason; keeping it polite would be to your advantage. Those who answer tickets and assist others with issues very often deal with heavy toxicity - we are open to your qualms if you keep them well-thought out and kept far away from emotion and attitude. 

   Specifically, if you message an admin or the server owner, there should not be an issue. We would be happy to discuss your thoughts.


   But wait... I was punished for commenting about the server? Are you serious?!

You were likely slandering the community, publicly defacing the community, or purposefully going out of your way to represent us in a poor light. You're welcome to be yourself - discussing private matters or specific problems with the community or tickets are welcomed if you contact a staff member. Public chat is not the place to instigate drama or incite hatred for the community. Let's resolve issues maturely and privately if it is necessary.

Donator FAQ

Feedback & Comments FAQ

Donator FAQ

   Why would I sub on Patreon, or why should I donate?

Support gives us freedom, stability, and security- it funds our various expenses (game server, website, RCON service, etc).

     Patronage ensures long-term function of the server. If the server generates revenue to pay for itself, there is no reason logically for the venture to seize.
