How to use the generator
Start from a preset if one is close, then go through the sections. The file on the right updates as you type. Every changed setting gets a mark and a button to put it back.
Copy the file or download it, and put it in your server’s cfg folder. It takes effect the next time the server starts.
Your settings stay in this browser. The link button shares them with your co-admins; passwords are never part of the link.
What the file leaves out
Gameplay lines left at Rust’s own default aren’t written, so the file only holds what you changed. Ports, the remote console and the server identity aren’t in it either: your host sets those on the command line, and putting them in server.cfg can lock you out.
Importing an old server.cfg
Paste your current server.cfg, or a startup line with + in front of each setting, and the generator fills in what it knows. Lines it doesn’t edit are listed, so you can keep them by adding them back to the new file.
Where these facts come from
Ranges, tags and the wipe timer come from Facepunch’s own Rust wiki: the pages on creating a server, server browser tags and the server wipe timer, checked in November 2026.
