Config settings on a Rust server can be freely adjusted using the server.cfg file or by executing a wide range of commands. By adjusting settings, players can fine-tune their servers' difficulty or customize various aspects, such as weather, events, and more. When used in conjunction with admin commands, users can have a flexible level of control, allowing them to change settings without stopping the server.

How to Edit Rust Server Settings (Commands)

1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.

2. Start the server.

3. Go to the Console tab.

4. Enter the desired command for any setting.

5. After using all desired commands, enter writecfg to save the changes.

6. To load the setting changes while the server is running, use readcfg.

Note: Some settings may require a server restart, or cause issues if applied while the server is running. To ensure all settings are applied, stop and start the server.
