Teleports & Short Nights: How to Exploit QoL Features on Our Rust Server

Rust is known for its harsh survival elements, but our custom server settings are designed to enhance gameplay without compromising the core experience. If you’re playing on our Rust server, you have access to several Quality of Life (QoL) features that can dramatically shift your gameplay speed and efficiency. This guide will show you how to take full advantage of key QoL enhancements, including teleportation commands, short night cycles, and other useful tweaks.

Why QoL Features Matter in Rust

Traditional Rust can be grueling, with long travel times, extended dark nights, and high-risk resource collection. Our server aims to preserve Rust's intensity while cutting down on tedious mechanics. With the right knowledge, you can:

• Save time with smart teleportation
• Avoid night-time dangers
• Farm smarter, not harder
• Respond faster to threats or raids

Let’s dive into the top features and how to use them efficiently.

Mastering Teleports (TP Commands)

One of the most powerful features on our server is the teleportation system. Here’s how to make the most of it:

Basic TP Commands

• /home add [name] – Save your current base or a location
• /home [name] – Instantly teleport back to a saved home
• /tpr [player] – Request to teleport to another player
• /tpaccept – Accept a teleport request

Best Use Cases for Teleports

• Farming Routes: Run long-distance farming trips and teleport home instantly to deposit loot
• Group Raids: Coordinate with teammates quickly during a raid or defense
• Multiple Bases: Maintain outposts or mining hubs without spending time traveling

⚠️ Pro Tip: Teleports often have cooldowns. Plan your farming and raids around these timers to maximize efficiency.

Enjoying Shorter Nights

Night in Rust is often when progress halts—but not on our server.

Benefits of a Short Night Cycle

• Less downtime: Keep farming, building, or raiding with minimal interruption
• Reduced PvE risk: Shorter nights mean less exposure to nighttime threats like wildlife or visibility-based PvP
• Smooth solo experience: Solos benefit from being able to continue without waiting for the sun

On our server, the night lasts only a fraction of the regular duration. This makes strategic planning easier, especially for players who prefer not to carry torches or night vision.

Additional QoL Enhancements to Leverage

Besides teleports and short nights, here are other QoL features to take advantage of:

Stack Sizes

• Increased stack limits for common materials like wood, stone, and sulfur
• Spend less time on inventory management

Insta-Craft or Fast Crafting

• Items are crafted faster or instantly, depending on server settings
• Ideal for base building or mid-fight gear replenishment

Furnace Splitter

• Auto-splits ore into multiple slots
• Smelt resources evenly and more efficiently

Skin Box and /BGrade

• /skinbox allows you to reskin items with ease
• /bgrade [1–4] auto-upgrades building pieces to wood, stone, metal, or HQM as you build

Best Strategies for Efficient Gameplay

1. Preload Teleports

Save teleport spots early in your wipe. Have a /home mine, /home base, and /home tower to cover key needs.

2. Night-Time Objectives

Use short nights to your advantage by:

• Running low-risk monuments
• Expanding or honeycombing your base
• Smelting while enemies wait for daylight

3. Optimize Loot Runs

Farm near monuments, set a teleport, and warp home when full. This keeps you safe from losing materials on the way back.

4. Duo and Trio Coordination

Plan raids with teammates using TP commands to regroup quickly. Being able to reinforce without long treks can turn the tide in fights.

Final Thoughts

QoL features like teleportation and short nights are game-changers in Rust. They don't make the game easier—they make it smarter. By removing unnecessary grind, our server settings let you focus on PvP, base building, and strategic plays.

Whether you're a solo trying to survive or a clan looking to dominate, these tools give you the edge. Make sure you’re using every advantage our server offers.
