Rust servers have a default autosave feature that saves all player and map progress. Setting a Rust server's autosave duration to the proper value helps prevent significant losses due to server crashes or connection issues. However, selecting an interval that is too short may result in an overabundance of saved files, quickly filling up server storage space. Players can fine-tune the save interval at any time via the command window, enabling 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. Run the following command to change the autosave interval: server.saveinterval <seconds>
Note: The default save interval is
600seconds (10 minutes).
5. Run the following command to save the changes: server.writecfg
6. The console will confirm the new autosave interval.
