dude, this is literally the single best video on this matter. Thanks so much man, you explained it so well <3

[yusufkeremoruc]

is it possible to make our server 3x or something

[Krownss]

This tutorial is the best advertisement for pine hosting ever...

Just wish games like rust and minecraft made it easier to make a server.

[Blzro]

a amazing vid but i just noticed ''for free your own machine just make sure it can handle 16 ur a rhyming god

[ManhNguyen-quou]

i tried to connect to the server but every time the log says i got kicked by “Wrong Connection Protocol: Client update required!”
And “their protocol is 2564 not 2566 ". How can i fix it?

[kfer]

My server pops out errors while creating the world, like not being able to build some structures

[keks]

"After i put in beta staging and pressed enter ...it stopped and ..."Error!App 258550 state is 0x202 after update job" ...any advice?"

i have the same error and i tippet it korektlie

[Local.idiot-]

Ok figured out how open the server but it wont let me connect because it needs to update and im wondering how do i update the server? As you weren't very clear with it.

[FrostyEyesYT]

Can my friends join my server this method? Because my. Local host and yours are the same and I can't join the server via IP for some reason only local host works

[mellmatteo]

After i put in beta staging and pressed enter ...it stopped and ..."Error!App 258550 state is 0x202 after update job" ...any advice?

[SnowBR]

dunno if you're still responding to comments on this video, but, i keep getting
"Ping: Error performing ICMP transmission. Possibly because of a timeout"
showing up in the console over and over again, and i couldn't connect to my server with either localhost or the 127 ip. any clue what could be causing this?

[rkmrust]

When I open the bat file, I get "This app can't run on your PC". Windows 11, i7 13700, 3050, I run as admin and it just pops up for .5 seconds and disappears. Any advice?

[vengadorweb]

And how we make our server appear on the community list? like how we pass from local to "prod"?

[AQUASURF]

Can I make it so it NEVER wipes NOT even forced wipes - just keep building in my own server world with friends and month or 2 later is still there to continue? I HATE that based we worked on get wiped.

[Pyrosar]

is there a way to load into a custom map, like a rustafied map

[Jbwyatt]

excuse me do you know what version to download for console (ps5+xbox) . also do you know if steamcmd works to create console servers
thankyou

[MrPhilb]

Hey, awesome video! What is the code for a primitive server?

[tripletrident]

Drizza. Is somethkng similar to this possible for console rust? If so could we get a tutorial! I don’t want to pay $30 USDA minimum per month for the most basic server.

[muffi]

Why is it that the bat file for me dosent go over to a bat file. Its just stuck at a text file!!

[ggjrust]

Thank you

How i can do rustoria map (it is Procedural Map, but no Bandit Camp)

I think will be cool if you do server-commands list becouse few mounth ago I looked for server-commands but it was so hard, Rust Wiki doesn't even have a complete list of commands, I spent a lot of time but never saw such a command as creative
