Vanilla Solo
Real vanilla Rust, strictly solo. Every base, farm run and raid here is earned by one player.
vsolo.battlezone.gg:28015What this server is
Solo is the complete vanilla survival experience with no clans, no alliances, and no partners. You are entirely on your own against a server full of other solos playing under the same restriction.
We call it noob friendly, and that describes our community standards, not an easier game mode. PvP, KOS, door camping, online raiding, and offline raiding are all permitted. New players are welcome. So are veterans. We just expect people to keep the toxicity under control.
How we wipe
A fresh map on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Thursday of every month at 2PM Eastern, so no map runs longer than two weeks.
Blueprints wipe once a month, on the first Thursday, together with the map. Every player starts the month on equal footing, which kills the long-term blueprint advantage that used to decide who ran the server.
The first 48 hours
To give solos room to establish, the strongest raiding tools are delayed. From the Thursday wipe until Saturday at 2PM Eastern, C4 and rockets may not be used to raid player bases.
This is not raid protection. Satchels, explosive ammo, fire, melee, and eco-raiding are all still on the table. When the restriction lifts, both online and offline raiding are allowed.
The 10-second rule
You are not required to KOS everyone you meet. When you run into another player outside a safe zone, you have roughly 10 seconds to engage or disengage. Say hello, issue a warning, ask a question, fight, or walk away.
What you cannot do is stay together. No roaming as a pair, no extended conversation in the wilderness, no sharing tactical information, no teaming up on a third player. After the brief encounter, fight or separate. KOS is still completely legal, it is just no longer mandatory.
Staying solo
The team limit is one and we enforce it with non-playing admins and custom detection tooling. Friends may play here at the same time, but they have to behave like strangers: build well apart, avoid the same monuments, and fight or separate when they meet.
Before you play
Build defensively, lock everything, and expect every other solo to be an enemy. The server is noob friendly, not risk free.
Every server shares our zero-tolerance list, and this one has rules of its own. Read the full rules before your first wipe.
