Summary
Rust servers have a default autosave feature that saves all player and map progress. Setting a Rust server to the proper autosave duration helps to prevent significant losses due to server crashes or connection issues.
However, selecting an interval too low may result in an overabundance of saved files, quickly filling up server storage space. Players can fine-tune the save interval at any time through the command window and server.writecfg command, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments if issues arise.
- 1. Go to your server control panel.
- 2. Go to the server console.
- 3. Enter the following command: server.saveinterval
The default save interval is <600> seconds (Ten minutes).
- 4. Next, enter server.writecfg to save the changes.
- 5. The console will confirm the new autosave interval.
