The Rust world seed controls the procedural map layout, while world size controls how large that map is. Larger Rust maps use more RAM, CPU, and disk space, so raise world size carefully and upgrade your server resources if the server starts running out of memory.
- Open your Rust server in the control panel.
- Click Backup Server and wait for the backup to finish.
- Click Configuration Files.
- Find
server.cfg, then click Config Editor.
- Change World Seed if you want a different procedural layout.
- Change World Size if you want a larger or smaller map. Rust accepts
1000to6000; larger maps use more RAM, disk, and CPU.
- Click Save & Exit.
- Wipe the current map using Wiping the world of your Rust server.
- Start the server.
If the server runs out of memory after increasing world size, upgrade the server RAM from the client area or submit a support ticket and we can check the best upgrade size for your map and player count.
