Evening everybody,

I've switched the server over to modded to hopefully attract new players, these mods are designed to make it easier to get established and for people who don't have the time to play as often.

These mods include:

x3 gathering
Instacraft
Sleeper protection from animals
Better stack sizes
No decay

Other mods may be added as time passes, open to suggestions. Best of luck, and see you on the server!

Afternoon everybody, last night I had a bit of trouble updating the server; as did a lot of others that used Gameservers as a host for their servers.

Basically Rust uploaded the new build to Steam but Gameservers had a delay in obtaining it themselves, creating a two hour delay in an update roll out.

This has been happening frequently, for example: on Thursday when new updates come out, the server doesn't receive these updates instantly, there is an hour delay give or take.

Also the server had been kicking everybody, not crashing, but disconnecting everybody, an issue which has since been resolved.

If the update roll-outs aren't fixed or at least sped up a little bit, I will look into changing hosts at the end of this wipe cycle.

Some notes if the server does change hosts:

The server name will remain the same and nothing will change except for the IP address, so if you connect manually I will post the new IP address.

The server will not switch hosts unless absolutely needed; and if I do change hosts, it will be at the end of this wipe cycle, meaning you will all start fresh regardless, just on a different host.

Another thing also; if you need to speak to me, I'm generally online around 3 PM GMT until quite late, and if you need to speak to me, you can use the website (located in the group, and in the server description through the Rust Client) if you click contact and use the contact forum, I will receive an email and we can speak there.

Alternatively, and for better communication back and forth, you can add General Skittles, the steam account is located in the comments, with the link posted by this account, and also it's here, too.

Enjoy the wipe, and don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything.

Heya all, I'm aware that in recent days, especially today, that there has been quite a bit of lag on the server, this is a problem with the hosting company at the moment and a lack of optimisation with the latest update Facepunch has rolled out.

I have created numerous support tickets with these companies and hope to have the issue resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks for sticking around in spite of it, I will post an announcement when I have more information.

Hello everybody, server has been wiped and XP has been reset.

2x XP is also in effect this wipe also! Enjoy.

Hello all,

If you're currently having trouble attempting to connect, Gameservers have reported an outage in London where the server itself is being hosted.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
