Everything to launch and run a Rust server on Loafhosts, from the 60-second deploy to the LoafHub panel tools, admin controls, and the fixes for when things go sideways. Written by the crew that runs the fleet.
First boot, connecting, and the day-one settings.
Workbench tax was a scrap surcharge Rust added to tech tree purchases, scaling by workbench tier. Here is exactly how it worked, why the tech tree and research table are different, and the important part, that Facepunch removed the tax in the November 2025 update.
Red keycards open the highest-value rooms in Rust. Here is what keycards are, the exact monuments where a red card is found, where you spend one, how the card reader and fuse box work, and the mistakes that cost you a run.
Config editors, mods, backups, and the LoafHub toolkit.
Roles, bans, RCON, and keeping the server healthy.
Moderate your Rust server from the Loafhosts panel, see who is online with Steam avatars, ping and health, then kick, ban, unban, kick-all or broadcast a message over RCON, no console password required.
Edit your Rust server's settings from the panel: a friendly server.cfg form with a universal convar search, raw users.cfg and bans.cfg editing, Oxide and Carbon plugin configs, and the ports and world setup, all in one Config Editor.
Set Rust to wipe itself on a schedule, automatic map, blueprint, and full wipes on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or first-Thursday cadence, with optional seed rotation and an in-game RCON wipe warning.
Hardcore open-world survival. AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D hardware, Terabit DDoS Protection, and the full LoafHub panel every guide here is written for. Deployed in 60 seconds, no setup fee.
