Do you want your Rust server to be featured on the highly visible Community List in the game browser? With CloudNord, moving your server from the modded tab to the community tab is a straightforward process. This guide covers everything you need to know about how to set up your CloudNord Rust server for the community list, including essential requirements to ensure your server remains listed and avoids blacklisting.
Important Information: Community Server Requirements & Guidelines
By default, your CloudNord Rust server will initially be sorted into the Modded List, especially if you have plugins like Oxide installed. Before moving your server to the Community tab, it is crucial to understand and adhere to Facepunch's (Rust's developers) strict guidelines for community servers.
Unlike the modded tab, the community tab demands that your server follows a specific ruleset. Failure to comply can result in your server being blacklisted and removed from the community list. Primarily, this means your server should operate as a **vanilla Rust server** or with minimal modifications that do not fundamentally alter gameplay mechanics (e.g., no teleportation, kits, or significantly altered rates).
For more detailed information on Rust server guidelines, please refer to Facepunch's official documentation.
Steps to Add Your Rust Server to the Community List:
To successfully move your CloudNord Rust server to the Community tab, you will need to disable the 'modded' flag, typically associated with Oxide. Follow these simple steps:
-
Login to your CloudNord game panel: Access your server management interface here.
-
Select your Rust server: Choose the specific server you wish to configure for the community list.
-
Navigate to the "Files" Tab: In your game panel, locate and click on the "Files" section.
-
Locate and Open the "oxide" folder: Within the Files tab, find and click on the "oxide" directory.
-
Edit "oxide.config.json": Click on the file named "oxide.config.json" to open it for editing.
-
Change "Modded" value to "false": Inside the
oxide.config.jsonfile, look for the line that says"Modded": true,. Change the value fromtrueto"false"."Modded": false, -
Save Changes: Click on the "Save Content" button to apply your modifications to the configuration file.
-
Restart Your Server: A server restart is required for these changes to take effect. Restart your Rust server through your CloudNord game panel.
After restarting, your CloudNord Rust server should now appear in the Community tab of the Rust server browser, provided it meets all other Facepunch guidelines. Please allow a few minutes for the server list to refresh and for your server to propagate.
