How to set a team size limit on your Rust server

Set Team size limit in Server Settings (server.cfg) on the Settings tab and click Save & restart. The panel describes it as The most players one team can have. 1 is a solo server, 2 is duos. It goes from 1 to 128, and a new server has 8.

Change the limit

1. Open your server in the panel and click the Settings tab.
2. In the left card, under Config files, click Server Settings (server.cfg).
3. In the Gameplay group, type the number in Team size limit.

4. Click Save & restart. The server restarts, so players are disconnected for a short while.

A number outside 1 to 128 is refused when you save.

Tell your players

Put the limit in your server's name or description, for example Duo or Max 3, so players know before they join: How to change your Rust server name and description.

Good to know

• The value is written to server/rust/cfg/server.cfg, which Rust reads when it starts. Save only keeps it for the next start.
• A wipe does not change it: How to wipe your Rust server.
