Rust doesn’t auto-create a config file when you install a server. Without one, you’re stuck running on defaults or typing settings straight into the launch line — every single time. A Rust Server CFG Generator saves you from that hassle. Just pick your options, hit generate, and get a ready-to-paste config file built around 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.
Saving & Updating Once you’ve generated your config, copy it into that folder and save it as server.cfg. To update later, just overwrite your old one or regenerate a new file here. And don’t forget to use the commands below after changes — otherwise, your edits won’t stick.
Tips
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.
