In this guide we will show you how to change the map on your Rust server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend changing the map on your server after each wipe, as it will make the server fresh for your players. Playing the exact same map every wipe can get a bit boring. You should also take a look at your map size and monument placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rust map gallery <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rust uses procedurally generated maps. This means that almost every Rust server has a different map. But we don’t want a randomly generated map for many reasons. This is why we will use the Rust map gallery<\/a>. It is a great site where you can choose your map from hundreds of already generated Rust maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First of all, we need to talk about map size. Having a small map on fully populated Rust server will make it lag and could possibly even crash it. On the other hand, if you make your map too big, players will most likely never interact with each other and could leave your server from getting bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be advised that the popular Launch Site monument is missing on maps smaller than 3500. This might be a reason for some players to not play on your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would recommend these map sizes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
