⚙️ Why Use a Rust Server cfg Config Generator

Rust doesn’t auto-create a config file when you install a server. Without one, your server runs on defaults or whatever you cram into the launch line. A Rust server.cfg config generator saves you from memorizing commands — you just pick your options, hit generate, and get a ready-to-paste config file tailored to your setup.

📂 Where the Rust Server cfg File Goes

On Windows the server.cfg is saved under server \youridentity\cfg\server.cfg On Linux it’s server/youridentity/cfg/server.cfg. The identity matches the value you set with +server.identity in your startup command. Most hosts (GTX, GameServers, SurvivalServers) follow the same pattern, though some panels tuck it under /serverfiles/cfg/ or game/cfg/. No matter the host, look for a cfg folder tied to your server identity.

📝 How to Save & Update It

Copy the generator’s outputted rust server cfg into a blank text file, then save it as server.cfg. On Windows, make sure you choose “All Files” when saving or disable hidden extensions — otherwise Notepad will sneak in a .txt and Rust won’t load it. After editing, restart your server or type server.readcfg in console to reload. If you change settings live in-game or through RCON, run server.writecfg to push those values back into your server.cfg so they persist after restart.

server.writecfg
Command that writes current settings (incl. owner/mod IDs) into server.cfg.
💡 Tip: Always run this after adding owners/mods so they survive a restart.

server.readcfg
Command that reloads your server.cfg without restarting.
💡 Tip: Handy for testing changes on the fly.

🌍 World & Identity

The name of the folder Rust uses for saves, configs, and logs. Change it to separate multiple servers on one machine. 💡 Tip: Keep it short, lowercase, and without spaces — paths like server/MyServer/cfg will drive you nuts if sloppy. (default: none, must be set)
The world type. “Procedural Map” is standard; older maps like Barren or Hapis are deprecated and may break. 💡 Tip: Always match server.level with server.seed and server.worldsize to get a reproducible map.
Number seed that shapes the procedural map’s terrain. Any integer works; different seeds create different layouts. 💡 Tip: Use the same seed + size combo to recreate a map after wipes.
Sets the size of the map in meters. Accepts 1000–6000 (must be a multiple of 100). 💡 Tip: Bigger maps look cool but crush performance with high player counts.
