Rust Server Not Showing in Community/Modded List

Note:

Rust servers hosted by Cybrancee are automatically included in the Community or Modded server lists, depending on whether the server is modded or vanilla.

Servers that don’t appear in these lists usually do so because of one of several common issues. The server list also favors servers with lower ping (closer to the player) when displaying results.

If your server isn’t showing, use the steps in this guide as a checklist to identify and resolve any potential problems.

Tip:
Treat this guide as a checklist. Most issues are resolved by confirming updates, checking filters, and shortening server names. If problems persist, you can always join directly via favorites or check your panel for connection status.

1. Wait a Few Minutes

Rust server lists can take up to 15 minutes to update, as there is a maximum of 5,000 servers displayed at a time. Newly created servers may not appear right away, so allow some time before checking again.

2. Check the ‘Show Empty’ Filter

By default, Rust hides servers with no active players. To see empty servers:

• Select the ‘PLAY’ tab.
• Open the ‘Filters’ section.
• Check the ‘Show Empty’ option.
• Select the ‘Refresh’ button.

3. Update Rust and Oxide

Outdated servers may not appear in the lists. At Cybrancee, updates run automatically on restart.

---

4. Update Mods and Plugins

All installed mods and plugins must be compatible with the current Rust version. Update any outdated modifications to ensure your server shows correctly.

---

5. Shorten Your Server Name

Server names that are too long or include special characters can prevent listing. Keep names concise, using only letters and spaces, and avoid symbols.

---

6. Optional: Add Your Server to Favourites

If the server still doesn’t appear:

Open Steam → View → Game Servers.

Select the ‘+’ button.

Enter your server IP:Port, and select the ‘OK’ button.

Select the ‘Connect’ button.

In Rust, check the ‘FAVOURITED’ tab.

---

7. Verify You Are in the Correct Tab

Modded servers appear under the Modded tab by default

• Community servers appear under the Community tab
• Make sure you’re checking the right category for your server.

---

8. Your Server is Blacklisted

If all steps fail, your server may have been temporarily blacklisted by Facepunch, usually due to behaviors like repeated map wipes or TOS violations. Check your server settings and gameplay practices.
