1. Initial Setup
Your Rust server is provisioned with a preconfigured image compatible with the latest stable version.
You can access it through the Pterodactyl panel and start it immediately.
If you need a clean slate, you may delete all files and reinstall the default Rust image.
2. Reinstalling the Server
To perform a full reinstall:
-
Log in to the Pterodactyl panel
-
Go to File Manager → Delete all files
-
Open the Settings tab → Click Reinstall
-
Confirm the operation
This will restore the default Rust setup.
3. Port Configuration
Quantum Devswork assigns a primary port for every server.
Open server.cfg or verify the startup parameters in the Startup tab.
Make sure the assigned port (shown in the Network tab) is used in your config.
Do not use the Steam default port (28015) unless explicitly assigned.
You may change the primary port from the Network tab if needed — only if you understand the implications.
4. Common Issues
-
Startup Crash: Often caused by outdated plugins or broken map files
-
Wrong Port: If
+server.portdoes not match your assigned one, connections will fail -
Mod Conflicts: Ensure any uMod/oxide mods are compatible with your game version
