Common console admin commands for Rust servers

You can type these commands on the Console tab of your server in the control panel, with no RCON tool or password. In the game, owners and moderators can also type them in the F1 console. Where a command needs a player's SteamID64 (for example 76561198000000000), you can look it up at steamid.io or with the status command while they are online.

Server

• say "message": sends a chat message to everyone on the server.
• status: lists the players online, with their SteamID64s.
• players: lists the players online.
• server.save: saves the world now.
• server.writecfg: saves owners, moderators and bans (users.cfg and bans.cfg) and settings changed with commands. Run it after ownerid, moderatorid or a ban.
• env.time 12: sets the time of day, in hours (0 to 24).
• find text: lists the commands that contain the text.

To stop or restart the server, use Stop or Restart at the top of the page: they save the world first.

Owners and moderators

• ownerid 76561198000000000 "Name" "Reason": makes a player an owner (auth level 2). The name and reason are optional.
• moderatorid 76561198000000000 "Name" "Reason": makes a player a moderator (auth level 1).
• removeowner 76561198000000000: takes owner away.
• removemoderator 76561198000000000: takes moderator away.

The player gets the new role the next time they join. See How can I make myself an Owner/Admin on my Rust Server?

Kicks and bans

• kick "Name" "Reason": kicks a player who is online, by name or SteamID64.
• kickall: kicks every player.
• ban "Name" "Reason": bans a player who is online.
• banid 76561198000000000 "Name" "Reason": bans a player by SteamID64, even when they are offline.
• unban 76561198000000000: lifts a ban.
• banlistex: lists the bans with names and reasons.
• listid: lists the banned SteamID64s.

Bans are kept in the server's bans.cfg, which you can also see on the Configs tab under Bans.

uMod (Oxide) and Carbon

• oxide.version: shows the uMod version.
• oxide.plugins: lists the plugins that are loaded.
• oxide.load PluginName: loads a plugin (the file name without .cs).
• oxide.reload PluginName: reloads a plugin, for example after you edit its config. oxide.reload * reloads them all.
• oxide.unload PluginName: unloads a plugin until the next restart.

With Carbon, use c.load, c.reload and c.unload instead. For permission commands, see How to grant Oxide permissions in your Rust Server.
