Rusty Nuts PvE Server
Frequently Asked Questions

Rusty Nuts is a largely PvE server, with rules catering to allowing players to be creative with their builds whilst not having to worry about being attacked by other players. However, PvP is still a possibility in certain Monuments so don’t let your guard down.

Features and Rules: We have a range of plugins, most of which cater to quality of life features that we feel improve the Rust experience. Blueprint sharing, additional PvE content and expanded gameplay features are just a few of the additions we’ve made already with plenty more to come. A specific list of plugins is provided below.

Rules: Our full list of rules can be found in the rules channel on our discord and below.
