A 2X USA server where new players can learn to build, farm, and raid — without getting crushed on day one.
Learn Rust at your own pace. Practice raids for free, progress twice as fast, and ask questions without the sweat-server vibe.
Double gather, smelting, and crafting so you can learn the game without a 40-hour farm just to try your first raid.
Free PvE raidable bases on the map. No counter-raiding, no gear fear. Learn satchels, C4, and rockets — then keep the loot.
Rotating maps with clear layouts and balanced resources so new players can find nodes, monuments, and practice bases without getting lost.
Quality-of-life mods so you spend time playing, not fighting the UI. Workbench in inventory, auto-upgrade, F7 reports, and more.
A Discord that actually helps. Ask questions, share first-raid clips, and get wipe pings. New players are welcome here.
Hosted in the USA for low-latency gameplay. Smooth fights and clean building — no rubber-banding while you learn.
Click a plugin to see the chat commands. These are here so new players can learn without guessing.
Automatically add teammates, friends, or clanmates to your tool cupboards, turrets, and locks. Shares code lock access but doesn't add them to the whitelist — they can't change the password.
All players get Workbench Level 3 access from their inventory — no need to place a workbench. Also supports refilling items already in the workbench slot.
Automatically upgrades building blocks upon placement. No hammer needed — place a wood wall and it upgrades to stone, metal, or armored based on your settings.
Server-generated NPC bases designed for you to safely practice raiding. Find them on the map and head over — no purchase or trigger required.
Grab starter and reward kits from a menu. Type the command in chat — no website needed.
Set homes and teleport to teammates or safe zones. You can save 2 homes. Use /tphelp in-game for the full list.
Pickup or refund your own buildings and deployables. Hold a hammer, type the command, then left-click.
Upgrade or downgrade a whole building at once. Look at a wall, then type the command. Costs materials like a hammer upgrade.
Spend RP (reward points) in a store for items and extras. Open it from chat.
Check your kills, deaths, and other stats. Compare yourself on the leaderboard.
Put an image or text on a sign. Look at the sign, then run the command.
Mirror your building so walls and floors copy to the other side. Great for learning clean base layouts.
Load a custom image onto a firework pattern. Look at the firework, then paste a URL.
These run automatically so new players waste less time on busywork.
Grab VIP or MVP for respawn boosts, colored chat names, and more. Purchases activate instantly in-game.
Monthly wipes keep the action fresh. First Thursday of every month is a new start.
Next wipe: first Thursday of the month at 2:00 PM Eastern
Keep it clean, keep it competitive. Break the rules and you're gone.
