Rust:IO is an older mapping/plugin ecosystem for Rust servers. On the LogicServers Rust panel, Rust:IO is installed from Mod Manager, not from the generic Rust Plugins page.
- Install uMod first: How to Install UMod on Your Rust Server.
- Open your Rust server in the control panel.
- Open Mod Manager from the left side menu.
- Expand Oxide / uMod Plugins.
- Find Rust:IO, then click Install.
- Restart the server.
- Check Web Console for Rust:IO load messages.
Rust:IO and RCON.IO are different. Rust:IO is a plugin; RCON.IO is a web-based RCON client for sending server commands. If Rust:IO does not load, confirm uMod is installed and check the Web Console for plugin errors.
Before you start
Make one change at a time and keep a note of what you changed. If the server is active, warn players before restarting or applying settings that may disconnect them.
If you get stuck
Check the control-panel console or latest log output for errors. If you submit a support ticket, include the server name, the change you made, and the exact error message.
