About The Game

What is Rust?

Rust is Facepunch Studios' wilderness survival game, where players scavenge, craft, build bases, and fight to survive in a world that offers no protection once you log in. It's known for unforgiving PvP, deep building systems, and a live game that changes with every monthly update.

ChicagoServers' Rust hosting includes configurable scheduled wipes, full support for Oxide/uMod, Harmony mods, custom maps, and even the Rust staging branch on Steam. Every plan starts vanilla, with plugins available at a click through the panel.

With a live player count that regularly tops 100,000 concurrent players, Rust has become one of the defining survival games of the last decade — driven by its brutal PvP, deep building/raiding systems, and a huge Oxide/uMod plugin ecosystem with thousands of community-made additions.

Moved a Rust server over for a performance boost and said the self-transfer was refreshingly easy, with staff jumping in to fix a couple of small mistakes along the way.

Had an ARK server online fast and said installing Steam Workshop mods straight from the panel couldn't have been simpler.

Was hunting for a 7 Days to Die host that would keep his whole group on equal ping and called it the easiest server setup he's seen, at the best value around.

A self-described programmer said what stood out most was skipping the slot/CPU tier upsells that throttle you elsewhere unless you pay more.
