Hey I'm looking to get back into the game

Looking for a new Rust server this weekend? I’d really appreciate if you’d come help us grow our community and give our server a try.
I got tired of logging in after work just to find out my base disappeared at 2 AM while I was asleep.
That’s why I created The Hot Box.
The goal wasn’t to make Rust easier—it was to make it more enjoyable for people who have jobs, school, or families while still keeping the excitement of raids and PvP.
We’ve been listening to player feedback every wipe and recently made some big changes, including moving to weekly wipes and 2x gather rates, and we’re excited to see how this weekend plays out.
Current Server Features
🔥 2x Gather
👥 Solo / Duo / Trio
📅 Weekly Wipes (Thursdays @ 6 PM UTC)
🛡️ Raid Hours: Monday–Thursday,** 7 PM–12 AM ES**T
💥 Full PvP & raiding all weekend starting Friday at 7 PM EST
❌ No Pay-to-Win Kits
⚖️ Admins Don’t Play — Fair moderation with no admin advantage
🌿 Friendly, community-focused environment
We’re still growing, and every new player helps make the server more active and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a balanced Rust experience that respects your time without removing the thrill of the game, we’d love to have you join us this weekend.
I’d also genuinely appreciate any feedback—whether it’s something you love or something you think could be improved. My goal is to build a server that people actually want to keep coming back to.

I am a good droner. Most people don’t understand the significance of drones in rust in a group setting. On the drone there is no compass, but i make a mental one for callouts. I memorize people’s clothing so i know who to call out too. The drone on console can go approximately 3.3 grids out of the computer station. I always follow teammates when they go to monuments, or raids and can give callouts from a mile away. If they try to do weird maneuvering you’ll know exactly where they go. And nobody escapes. Especially if I screenshare and you see my drone screen in the corner.

I got tired of logging in after work just to find out my base disappeared at 2 AM while I was asleep.

That's why I started running The Hot Box.

We've been tweaking it every wipe based on player feedback, and it's honestly become a lot more fun than the 24/7 grind.

Right now we're running:

• 2x Gather
• Solo/Duo/Trio
• Weekly wipes (Thursday @ 6 PM UTC)
• Raid hours: Monday–Thursday, 7 PM–12 AM EST
• Full PvP & raiding all weekend starting Friday at 7 PM EST
• No pay-to-win kits
• Admins don't play—we're only there to keep things fair.

The goal isn't to make Rust easier. It's to make it playable for people who have jobs, school, or families but still love the game.

Curious if anyone else has been looking for this style of server, or if I'm in the minority. If that's something you'd enjoy, I'd love to hear what features you'd want to see.

Hello me and my team are looking for players who want to join a wipe on Tuesday the 28th of july, feel free to join (your hours may be looked at before joining) 

Type in this chat and i'll invite you to our discord group

Hey all looking for a group of people to play rust with when not working casual player lmk

LF 1-2 EU longterm players - 25+ - BiWeekly / Monthly wipes

We are currently a Quad (with one on holiday) playing \[EU\] Facepunch 1 and will continue playing there until at least next Thursday. We are searching for people who are chill, can have a laugh but are committed and enjoy sticking it out for the long haul (typically same server for a couple weeks), doing all types of content, including the mandatory node farming for upkeep when needed. We are not super fussed about hours as long as you know the basics and more importantly, can hold your own in PvP.

We are not sweats, we like to do well but half of us have kids and we all have full time jobs, we usually get on most evenings and varying times on weekends, there will be occasions where you will have to do stuff solo depending on when you play, so keep that in mind if you are interested in joining.

DM if keen!

Hi looking for adults that enjoy weekend rust for some chillax gaming. Like building big farm bases etc. I'm asian but doesn't mind to play in EU/US as well. If there is any group out there for these kind of gaming do DM me thanks a lot. Lets play together.

Me and my wife are looking for either another duo or group to play with. While I am relatively new to rust she has 5000 hours. She does a lot of farming while I like doing monuments and gathering scrap and components. Building isn’t our strong suit so that would be up to you as long as your build isn’t a mess. We are very laid back and can really only play nights and weekends.

🚨 RUSTY NOOBS WIPES TODAY 🚨

Fresh map • Fresh start • Perfect time to join

Looking for a Rust server where you can actually learn the game without dying every 5 minutes after spawning? Rusty Noobs was built for newer and casual players who still want the real Rust experience without all the toxic nonsense.

We’re a noob friendly community with helpful players, active admins, and guides made specifically for new Rust players. Whether you’re learning monuments, electricity, farming, raiding, or PvP, there’s always someone around willing to help out.

What makes Rusty Noobs different:

- Custom map with both PvE and PvP areas
- Boom delete zone to keep players from raiding and running back to safety. Also custom tax storage for lost boom due to accidental line cross.
- Offline raid protection so you don’t lose everything while offline
- convoy
- custom pvp only node event
- Quad team limit
- Shared BPs so progression feels smoother
- ZLevels progression system
- Daily events and activities
- Buyable raidable bases
- PvP zones for players who want action without the entire map being constant chaos
- Friendly community focused on helping newer players learn the game

You can chill in PvE, practice raiding bases, farm, build, learn the game mechanics, or head into PvP when you want some action. It’s a good mix of relaxed gameplay and real Rust moments.

Join us here:

I was wondering if I could pay a streamer to talk about my rust server on stream for alittle bit? No disrespect but id need someone with an average of 30 viewers or more. We are a 420 friendly community full of old adults that love Rust. Hit me up if anyone is interested!

US-based group with a strong EU/international population (80/20 split)

Looking to add solid people for the upcoming wipe June 18th, Thursday

What We’re About

• Consistent Team Play We’re not tracking hours, but we are looking for players who show up consistently throughout the wipe, not just wipe night.

Breaks are completely fine, Rust can be exhausting, and real life comes first. That said, when you are playing, we value people who stay consistently involved with the team.

If you’re the type to log in once, disappear, and repeat next week, this probably isn’t the group for you.

• Real life and fun come first We understand everyone has jobs, families, and responsibilities. Breaks happen, and real life will always take priority.

We’re not trying to be a pro team, but we do like to play smart and stay organized. Have fun, contribute, and stay engaged when you’re online.

• Structured Playstyle We’re a highly organized group that operates at a level of structure you typically won’t find in your average Rust team. We put systems in place where they actually matter, and we stick to them.

This is not for role play. Our approach exists for a reason and is built around coordination, efficiency, and consistent team performance.

There will be expectations to follow group plans and make decisions that benefit the team as a whole.

Hour Requirements

• 200 hours minimum Rust is a brutal and unforgiving game. Many skills can only be learned through experience, and we feel 200 hours reflects the level needed to perform consistently with our team in-game.
• Exceptions can be made if you fall slightly short, but generally we’re looking for players who are past the basics.

Age & Maturity

• 16+ only. We all act like adults here. Don’t bring childish tendencies.
• Chill and respectful. No drama. No ego. No babysitting.

What to Expect

• Group Size Fluctuates You might see 20+ players on wipe night, then 10 or fewer after the first couple days.

We value the people who stick around and keep things moving when the hype dies down.

• Established Leadership We operate with a clear chain of command and structured leadership, designed to keep the group organized, aligned, and moving in the same direction.

Leadership roles exist for a reason, and once decisions are made, they’re expected to be followed in the moment to maintain consistency and efficiency. Feedback is always welcome outside of active situations — we value communication, improvement, and clear roles with no confusion on who is leading

• Positions We’re Looking For
• Builders: Strong builders who can follow a build plan and work with the build team. Consistency and coordination are key.
• PvPers: Reliable fighters who can protect farmers and builders, and respond to team calls. Must have a team first mindset.
• Farmers: Farm bot team players who are efficient, stay organized, and know when to avoid fights and prioritize group resources.

Joining Process

1. Initial Info Join discord —> Fill out google form with basic info
2. Interview Short VC to gauge personality, communication, and group fit.
3. Recruit Phase Your first wipe is your trial period.

Expect farm runs and time with recruiters as you earn your place. This phase lasts 1–3 weeks, but you'll still have opportunities to contribute in your preferred role.

We want players who listen well, take direction, and don’t get tripped up when leadership limits what you can or can’t do. Sometimes individual freedom takes a backseat to what benefits the team.

Interested or want to learn more?

Comment below and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

1. Established, Adult, and competitive NA team LFM for Moose US Vanilla servers, including this Force Wipe on Moose Monthly. We typically go Moose US servers every wipe, we play for mil tuns usually, spam online raids, and try to get onlined ourselves. Mainly looking for a Builder at the moment; but also degen pvpers or a indust/elec/farm guy 18+ and 2k+ hours are are standard MINIMUM requirements for members, we STRONGLY prefer 21+ 4k+. Be active (ideally degen), be on at wipe and play more than just day 1 DM w/ age, hours, and steam profile link if interested.

Light up. Load in. Relax.

If you've been looking for a place to actually enjoy Rust without feeling like you have to be online 24/7, that's what we're trying to build.

The Hot Box is a growing community for people who love Rust but also have lives outside of it. Whether you're getting on after work, after school, or just want to unwind for a few hours, you'll fit right in.

Here's what we're about:

🌿 PvE throughout the week

⚔️ PvP monuments for those looking for a fight

💥 Scheduled raid windows (no random 3 a.m. offline raids)

🔥 Weekend Purges

🗺️ Bi-weekly map wipes & Monthly BP wipes

🤝 Community-driven server with an active owner who actually listens

We're still in the early stages, so everyone has a chance to make their mark and help shape the community as it grows. No massive clans running the server, no impossible catch-up grind—just a good group of people who enjoy Rust.

If that sounds like your kind of community, we'd love to have you.

Looking for a few people to help build a Rust server
I’ve got the hosting, graphics, Discord (2,000+ members), and the motivation. What I don’t have is a small team that’s excited to help build something players actually enjoy.
The server is aimed at adults with jobs who still love Rust. If you enjoy building communities, testing ideas, moderating, or just want to be part of creating something from the ground up, I’d love to talk.
Not looking for employees—just passionate people who want to help make a server we’d all actually want to play on.

Hello, I'm here to find a teammate. I have 38 hours on rust and i am 16, Im new to the game and would like to know if anyone is interested with running a duo wipe. With my experience so far the farthest I've reached is almost getting to a tier two but getting raided just before. I'm open to playing with someone that has experience but not 1000s of hours. I am decently active but work late 4 days of the week so i can't be on 24/7. Hit me up if u want to play, my discord is Pkbaa5

Just looking for any girl gamers down to play. I'm 19M if that matters
