2. Add your first server

Click + ADD in the server selector at the top of the portal. You'll need:

  • A name (anything — "Main", "PVE", whatever)
  • The RCON IP and port (different from your game port!)
  • Your RCON password

If you don't know where to find these, see Connect a Rust server.

3. Enable the bot

Go to Bot Settings → toggle "Bot enabled" → SAVE. The bot pill at the top should flip from "OFFLINE" to "RECONNECTING" → "ONLINE" within 10 seconds.

4. Set up your first kit (optional but fun)

  1. Navigate to the Kits tab
  2. Click + NEW KIT
  3. Give it a name (e.g. "starter")
  4. Drop items from the catalog into the wear/main/hotbar slots
  5. Set permissions (everyone, or specific Steam IDs)
  6. Click SAVE KIT
  7. Click ↗ SYNC to push the kit to your server

Test in-game: type /kit starter in chat.

5. Configure your welcome broadcast

Go to Broadcast tab → WELCOME MESSAGE:

Welcome {player} to the server! Type /info for commands.

Toggle ON, hit SAVE. Next player to join sees the message.

You're set

From here, explore at your own pace. Common next steps:
