Dustline Rust

What Dustline is

Dustline is a 2x modded main on a 4,000-size map with a team limit of four. It wipes on the first Thursday of every month alongside the client update, with a blueprint wipe every second month. That schedule has not moved in two years, which is most of why the population is stable.

Two times gather, two times smelt, standard component rates. Loot tables are untouched — the multiplier is on gathering, not on scrap, so recycling and monuments still matter.

What makes it different

• A team limit that is actually enforced. Four players, tracked through authorisations, building privilege and code locks. Getting caught in a five-man is a wipe-long ban for everyone in it.
• Admins with no loot access. Staff play on separate unprivileged accounts. Nobody on the team has spawned an item into the live server, and the admin command log is posted publicly after every wipe.
• A wipe schedule you can plan around. First Thursday, 19:00 UK time, every month. Blueprints every second month.
• Quality of life without pay-to-win. Quick smelt, a teleport-free clan system and a status HUD. No kits, no traps, no bought resources.

The rules

• Max four players. That includes the person who is "just visiting your base for one raid."
• No cheating, no scripts, no macros. Recoil scripts are the single most common ban here.
• No racism or slurs in chat or voice. Rust is a hostile game; the chat still has a floor.
• Do not build inside monuments or block the entrance to one.
• Griefing loot rooms with sleeping bags is fine. Ddossing someone because you lost a raid is a report to their provider.

How to connect

Press F1 in Rust and type: client.connect rust.dustline.gg:28015 — or find it in the modded server browser by name. The current wipe day, the map seed and a live population graph are pinned in the Discord. Come on wipe day if you want the good real estate; come mid-cycle if you want to raid people who already farmed it.
