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. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
2. Start the server.
3. Go to the Console tab.
4. Enter the following command: server.saveinterval <seconds>
Note: The default save interval is
600seconds (10 minutes).
5. Run the following command: server.writecfg
6. The console will confirm the new autosave interval.
