• Players get Rust’s own in-game restart warning, with your message.
• Optionally install Rust updates during the restart.
• Hold the restart until players leave.
• Bring a server back if it crashes.
• Cancel or skip a restart while it counts down.
• Optionally keep Crucible in the tray when closed, so an overnight restart still fires.

• Settings you change update server.cfg straight away, and your own edits to that file are kept.

• Removing server files warns which servers lose their worlds.
• Commands now reach the server you selected, not the first one started.

• Console text can be selected and copied.

v1.1.2

• RustEdit option only on modded servers.
• The RustEdit custom data option now shows only on Carbon and Oxide servers.
• Vanilla, Creative and Staging servers are no longer switched to Oxide.

v1.1.1

• Notes, a notebook for every server.
• Write pages per server: wipe checklists, plugin bugs, seeds worth keeping.
• Markdown as you type, the way you already type it in chat.
• Checklists you can tick, pasted screenshots, code blocks.
• Search every page of every server at once.
• Insert a snapshot of the map, seed and setup you are testing.
• Send console lines straight to a note.
• Wipes, backups and map changes get logged for you.
• Copy a page as markdown to paste anywhere.
• Your notes are plain files, kept even if you uninstall.
• Fixed: empty leftover folders are cleaned up. Docs
• New guide: Notes for every server https://docs.drizzza.com/server/notes/

v1.1.0

• Import and reuse saved worlds.
• New Save library in the Map tab: drag a .sav file onto the window, or Browse for one.
• A saved world can be applied once its matching .map is in your library, then Apply assigns that map and loads the save the next time the server starts.
• Scan servers pulls a live saved world from any of your other servers into the library, so a base you built on a custom map can carry over to another server.

v1.0.6

• Running multiple servers at once now works.
• Fixed the “Allow multiple servers running at once” setting: with it on, you can now start a second server while another is running, instead of being told to stop the first one.
• Each server keeps its own save, ports, and console, so running a few side by side stays clean.

v1.0.5

• Plugins install reliably.
• Fixed installed plugins not loading: downloading several plugins quickly could save an error page instead of the real plugin. Downloads now retry on their own and never save a broken file.
• Plugins you already have are marked Installed and will not download again.
• New “Find on uMod” button opens a plugin’s page so you can download it yourself and drop the file in.
• The Local, LAN, and Public connect strings now start with “connect ” so you can paste them straight into the in-game console.

v1.0.4

• Custom maps load reliably.
• Fixed custom maps sometimes loading as a random procedural map instead of the one you selected.
• The custom map thumbnail now shows the map’s biome colors accurately.

v1.0.3

• Annoying terminal stomped.
• The Rust server console window no longer appears while a world builds or runs, for good this time.
• Edit each server’s server.cfg right in the app, with a proper editor that catches mistakes before it saves.
• Your server.cfg is kept once you edit it: the app no longer overwrites your changes on start, whether you change it in the app or in-game with writecfg.
• Fixed the “Open cfg folder” button, which did nothing before.

v1.0.2

• Second batch of initial release fixes.
• Set an official game mode in Config (Vanilla, Softcore, Hardcore, Primitive) so your server shows correctly in-game instead of as a “Development Server”.
• You choose Vanilla, Carbon, or Oxide when you create a server; the mod stack is fixed after that, so servers no longer switch stacks.
• Installing Carbon or Oxide reuses the Rust server files you already downloaded instead of downloading the whole server again.
• The Rust server console window no longer opens while a world loads or runs.
• New Config option to skip the AI navmesh for a much faster server start and lower CPU use. NPCs and animals will not move, so it is best for build and test worlds or running several servers at once.
• New advanced Config options to run the server at higher CPU priority and pin it to specific CPU cores (for example the 3D V-cache cores on an AMD X3D chip).
• Updating your server files is now much faster: routine updates only download what changed instead of re-checking every file. A full verify still runs on a first install.

v1.0.1

• Flashing terminal on server install and run fixed.

v1.0.0

• Initial Release.
• Run local Rust dedicated servers from one app: create a server, pick a map, and hit Start.
• One-click install and update of the server files with a live progress bar.
• A simple Quick view for running in one click, with an Advanced mode for the full controls.
• Live server status that shows exactly when your world is actually joinable.
• Make yourself in-game admin in one click, manage owners and admins, and detect your Steam ID automatically.
• Join your own server from the app, with copyable local, LAN, and public connect strings.
• Full world config: size, seed, max players, game mode, plus event and rule toggles for Bradley, cargo ship, and seasonal events.
• A ready-to-build Creative preset with permanent daylight and nothing that attacks or interrupts you.
• Custom map support with a built-in LAN host, file picker, and drag-and-drop, plus one-click import of your Crucible Heightmap exports.
• A live in-app console with RCON, quick actions, command history, and saved macro buttons.
• A searchable reference of hundreds of admin, creative, and cinematic commands and every server variable, run live or copied in one click.
• Carbon and Oxide mod stacks with a plugin browser, enable and disable, per-plugin config editing, and RustEdit custom map support.
• Map, blueprint, and full wipes with automatic pre-wipe backups and one-click restore.
• Release, staging, and dev branch installs, kept separate for vanilla, Carbon, and Oxide.
• Run one server at a time, or unlock multiple at once.
• A storage manager to see and clean up everything the app has installed.
