How to Disable Building Repair Cooldowns on Your Rust Server

By default, Rust has a short cooldown between structure repairs to prevent players from spamming repairs during raids.

However, if your server is creative, PvE-oriented, or used for testing builds, you can remove this restriction entirely.

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘Console’ Tab

---

3. Disable the Cooldown

This command removes the repair delay, allowing players to fix building parts immediately:

creative.freerepair true

Once enabled, players can repair structures without any cooldown.

If you’d like to restore the standard repair cooldown later, use:

creative.freerepair false

---

4. Make the Change Permanent

Add this command to your server.cfg file so it’s applied automatically every time your server starts. Follow the steps below to do this:

---

5. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

6. Locate the ‘cfg’ Folder

This folder is located at /home/container/server/rust/cfg.

---

7. Create a New ‘server.cfg’ File

If you already have a ‘server.cfg’ file, you can skip Steps 8 and 9 and go directly to Step 10.

---

8. Select the ‘Create File’ Button at the Bottom

---

9. Enter the Name ‘server.cfg’

Enter the file name in the ‘File Name’ field as ‘server.cfg’.

Select the ‘Create File’ button.

---

10. Edit the ‘server.cfg’ File

---

11. Disable the Cooldown

Add the following command on a new line:

creative.freerepair true

---

12. Select the ‘Save Content’ Button

---

13. Restart Your Server
