How to setup Rust server tags on your dedicated Server host

What are tags for Rust Server?

Tags are additional bits of information that describe Rust servers. Up to three of them will be displayed on the Rust server browser and filtering will be supported one day.

The following tags are supported:

ValueTitle
monthlyMonthly
biweeklyBiweekly
weeklyWeekly
vanillaVanilla
pvePvE
roleplayRoleplay
creativeCreative
softcoreSoftcore
minigameMinigame
trainingCombat Training
battlefieldBattlefield
broyaleBattle Royale
buildsBuild Server

How do I add Rust Tags to my server?

Set the server.tags convar to the comma-separated tag values you wish to use from the table above. For example, if you want the Weekly, Vanilla, and Roleplay tags applied you would use server.tags weekly,vanilla,roleplay.

Note that some tags invalidate each other or may be set by other convars. For example, server.pve will apply the PvE tag and you cannot apply both Monthly and Weekly on the same server.
