Make progress in an evening.
2× gathering and a few practical quality-of-life changes. Less repetition, without skipping the survival.
RUST, AFTER HOURS.
Rust for your
off-hours.
Make your Rust time count. Play solo or with one teammate, spend less time farming with 2× gathering, and plan your raids around predictable windows.
PvP anytime. Bases are raidable during posted hours—even while you’re offline.
Private setup. Joining is restricted—not open to players yet.

01 / THE IDEA
Make progress.
Keep your evenings.
A place for working players who still want Rust’s stakes. The aim is room to build and roam without planning every evening around possible base raids.
PvP anytime. Scheduled base raids.
Roaming and player combat stay open 24/7. Base-raid windows do not restrict roaming fights or player combat.
Build toward your next project.
A workshop, a sorting room, or the industrial setup you want to try. Monthly maps give your next project a rhythm; individual blueprints have no routine wipe except game-required resets. Raids and map wipes still matter—no base is guaranteed to survive.
02 / RAID HOURS
Clock out.
Then gear up.
Predictable windows for base-raid damage. PvP, roaming, and player combat stay unrestricted 24/7—this is not PvE outside raid hours.
Inside the window, bases are raidable even when their owners are offline. Outside it, scheduled base protection is intended to apply, subject to the final protection scope and exceptions.
The schedule is selected and configured in the private server. Only limited melee checks have passed; full damage coverage and boundary testing are still incomplete.

The weekly schedule above is a reference, not a live server-status feed.
The clock on this page follows America/Chicago daylight saving time. The server’s fixed UTC offset requires a manual seasonal update; schedule enforcement still needs verification.
“Offline” does not mean unraidable while offline.
Protection follows the published hours—not the owner’s online status.
03 / THE SETUP
The Rust you know.
A pace that fits.
Start with a rock and a torch. Build from there.
Here’s what is configured privately—and what is still on the workbench.
THE BASELINELess grind.
2×
Less grind.
Still earned.
2× gathering is configured. Selected resource stacks are larger, nights are shorter, and standard and large furnaces run at 2× smelting speed.
Private setup, not a completed launch test. 2× scrap and component loot is still pending.
SOLO / DUO → MONTHLY MAPS
01Gathering & everyday play
CONFIGURED Dispenser and pickup gathering at 2×. Wood, stone, metal ore, metal fragments, sulfur ore, and cooked sulfur stack to 4,000. High-quality metal stacks to 200; high-quality ore is unchanged.
Day length is set to 45 minutes; night length to 5 minutes. Standard and large furnaces use 2× smelting with the selected lower fuel usage. These received a qualitative player check, not a timed benchmark.
NOT READY 2× scrap/components and car/minicopter settings are not applied. The 50% upkeep approach is configured, with actual material-consumption testing still pending. Dome/oil recycler code is loaded, but placement and behavior are untested. They are not launch-ready features yet.
02Building & upkeep
USER-CHECKED BGrade levels 1–4 are available at normal material costs. No free-material or discounted building is promised.
LIMITED / PENDING TC bulk upgrades now have a loaded guard and a blocked server probe. Wider grade, building-boundary, and authorization tests remain incomplete. The 50% upkeep approach is configured; actual material-consumption testing is pending.
The intended /remove rule remains one piece per player every 30 minutes, original builder only. Original-builder tracking and a restart-persistent cooldown are unresolved, so this feature is held.
03Wipes & blueprints
SELECTED POLICY Monthly map wipes. No routine blueprint wipes, except game-required resets. Blueprint learning stays individual; your duo partner does not automatically inherit your unlocks.
The first public wipe date and exact recurring time are not announced. The current private test world is a 3,000-size procedural map—not a promise of the public-opening map.
04Rules & fair play
- No cheating or exploits.
- No team-limit abuse. Solo players and duos are the selected format; maximum group size is two.
- No bypassing raid protection.
- No serious harassment or threats.
Normal Rust conflict is not automatically an offense. Detailed rules for shared access, alliances, substitutions, and protection exceptions still need to be finalized.
The owner also plays. Normal play and admin activity must stay separate: no privileged scouting or item spawning for the owner’s team. Admin-action records and independent dispute review are the selected safeguards; reviewer staffing is not confirmed.
ENFORCEMENT GAP Two-player TC/turret authorization limits are configured and audited. Third-player rejection and offline-member tests are still pending; this does not establish every lock or teaming scenario.
05Before the doors open
Admission remains restricted with maxplayers 0. This page does not query the server and is not a live status monitor.
- Verify raid-window boundaries, explosives and remaining damage coverage, restarts, and protection exceptions.
- Update the server’s fixed Central offset from UTC−5 to UTC−6 for November 1, then verify the schedule.
- Finish duo authorization enforcement and all-grade TC security checks.
- All eight kit claims passed the owner’s gameplay check; verify cooldowns and paid delivery separately. Finish or explicitly defer pending gameplay features.
- Confirm wipe details, support delivery, and launch approval.
Public admission, payments, and report delivery are not enabled by this website.
04 / KIT PREVIEW
Compare the loadouts.
Nothing to buy yet.
Eight kits and 77 points-shop products are configured for restricted testing. The owner successfully claimed all eight kits, and shop images are working. This does not verify every cooldown or paid entitlement. Cash checkout and paid delivery remain off; prices below are proposals.
Basic kit
Free · one manual claim per hour
- Bow and arrows
- Stone hatchet
- Stone pickaxe
32 wooden arrows are a review proposal; quantity and type still need confirmation. Normal spawn remains a rock and torch; this is not an automatic death grant.
No meds, armor, scrap, or building materials selected.
Foreman direction
35-hour claim cooldown · 3-hour post-wipe block
Selected resources plus one AK, one LR-300, and one HMLMG. 384 standard 5.56 rounds total across the three guns—not 384 each.
Metal and sulfur are raw ore requiring smelting. The full inventory preview now includes proposed armor, components, medical supplies, and equipment. Those inventory additions remain proposals. Foreman is selected at $100 USD for 30-day access; checkout is unavailable.
Both timing limits must be satisfied. Purchases unavailable.
Compare the paid-tier drafts in ascending order: Scout, Operator, and Foreman. Complete inventories are visible inline, with a local cart to try. Free Starter stays separate. Metal Tools, Powered Tools, Build, and Components are selected standalone options, with membership inclusions shown in the catalog.
Compare draft loadoutsNothing can be purchased on this website. Foreman is selected at $100 USD for 30 days. Other USD prices and access periods remain proposals; renewal terms are undecided.
