Ban appeal
Open a ticket with your Steam name. We keep combat and admin logs for 30 days and will show you what we saw. Cheating bans under rule 01 are permanent and are not appealed.
Astro Rust
A PvE server. Nobody raids you, nobody takes your loot, and nothing you build disappears while you are offline. You keep what you make.

03Rulesevery server, admins quote by number
- No cheating, scripting or macros.Aim assist, ESP, no-recoil scripts, third-party overlays. Permanent ban, no appeal.
- Team limit is 8.Groups are capped at eight players. If you are not sure whether your group counts as one team, ask in Discord before you build.
- Don't grief other people's builds.Walling someone in, blocking their doors, dropping twig on their upgrades, sealing their boats. PvP is off, so griefing is what we ban for instead.
- No hate speech or harassment.Slurs, targeted abuse, real-life threats. Trash talk is fine, this isn't.
- No bug or terrain exploits.Rock bases, under-terrain loot rooms, monument clipping, duping. Report what you find instead.
- Don't build on or block monuments.No bases at Launch Site, Oil Rig or Giant Excavator, and nothing covering a recycler, workbench or puzzle route.
- Don't wall off roads, spawns or shorelines.Compounds are fine. Fencing off a road or a beach so nobody can get past is not.
- No advertising other servers.In chat, on signs, in your name. Mute and kick.
Ban appeals and cheater reports go through a Discord ticket — see the Support tab.

Open a ticket in the Discord
Open a Discord ticket
That is the only place admins pick things up — there is no email queue, and DMs to staff get missed.
Report a cheater
Bring the player's name, a rough timestamp and a clip if you have one. F7 reports work too, but a ticket gets a human faster.
Report a rule break
Same as a cheater report, plus the rule number. Admins quote the rules by number, so saying which one you mean saves a round trip.
Everything else
Questions about a wipe, the settings, or something that looks broken on a server — open a ticket and ask.
06FAQ
Do I need to install any mods?
No. Server-side plugins only. You connect with a normal EAC-enabled Rust client, same as any official server.
When do I lose my blueprints?
Once a month, on the force wipe — the first Thursday, 19:00 UTC. There's no weekly wipe, so the map and everything on it stays put until then.
What's in the store?
Kits, skins and a supporter slot that skips the queue. See the store for contents and prices.
Can I play solo?
Yes, and plenty do. Nobody can shoot you or take your stuff, so playing alone costs you nothing but time. There's a #lfg channel in Discord if you'd rather not go it alone.
How do I report a cheater?
Discord ticket with the player's name, a rough timestamp and a clip if you have one. F7 reports work too, but a ticket gets a human faster.
The server is full. Do I get priority?
Queue is first-come. Store supporters get a reserved slot, which mostly matters on force wipe night.
Do my purchases work on every server?
Store purchases and Discord roles are account-wide, so they carry to any Astro Rust server and across every wipe.
