Offline Protection

Offline Protection is our special sauce. We made this server for people who want to enjoy Rust, but also have a life. No more logging on naked on the beach with nothing but a rock and torch. With our custom offline protection, your base will be here for you when you come back.

How does it work?

  • Play any Rusty Bear server that has offline protection. Most of our servers have this, but some such as our Pure Vanilla and 10x servers do not have offline protection.
  • When you log off, this begins the cooldown period
  • During the cooldown period, you can be offline raided.
  • The cooldown period lasts approximately 15 minutes after the last person on the team/base logs off.
  • After the cooldown period, you are now protected.
  • This protection lasts for 3 days / 72 hours.

 

Resetting protection

  • The next time you play, you will effectively reset the 72 hour protection period. If you log off again, you will have a fresh 72 hours of protection.

 

Exclusions

The following are not protected:

  • Wooden and twig structures
  • Tug boat bases
  • Deployables

 

Things to remember

  • Protection is based on a number of factors. This includes who is in your team.
  • Adding others to your team, even if you don’t want to live with them, shares your protection with them. If they are online and you aren’t, you can be offlined.
