Vanilla Rust: The Pure Survival Experience

What Is Vanilla Rust?

Vanilla Rust provides players with unmodified gameplay - no plugins, no quality-of-life shortcuts, and no pay-to-win elements. You'll gather, craft, survive, and raid in the harsh world of Rust just as the developers intended.

Tuned Settings, Still Vanilla

Though we don't use mods, we carefully adjust server-side configuration options to enhance playability without compromising the vanilla experience:

• Minicopter Spawns: Enabled on roads for ease of travel, without plugin-based spawns.
• Decay Timers: Adjusted to reduce frustration while maintaining game balance.
• Map Size & Seed: Unique procedural maps with carefully chosen seeds for every wipe.
• Day/Night Length: Calibrated to match our player community's preferences.

Why Play Vanilla Rust?

• Authentic Gameplay: No handouts. No shortcuts. Just grit, skill, and survival.
• Fair Competition: Everyone plays by the same rules - no donor perks or extra commands.
• Fewer Bugs: No plugins means fewer performance hiccups and more stable gameplay.

Vanilla vs Modded: Know the Difference

TIRust BattleBay and Vision Rust offer community-focused, mod-free servers. No in-game shops, no teleporting, no pay-to-win.

On the other hand, our TIRust Chill servers offer modded gameplay with an in-game shop, reward-based teleportation, and quality-of-life improvements - perfect for players who prefer a casual or accelerated experience.

If you're looking for Rust the way Facepunch intended, you're in the right place with Treasure Island Rust.
