Rust+ Guides

Practical answers to the Rust+ problems that come up most - getting alerted when your base is hit, pairing Rust+ with Discord, keeping tabs on other players, and wiring the Smart Alarms and Smart Switches that make the rest of this possible.

Alerts

How to Get Raid Alerts in Rust

Rust has no built-in raid alert. This covers the only real in-game tool for it and where its limits are.

Pairing

How to Connect Rust+ to Discord

Rust+ only talks to your phone by default. This walks through pairing and getting the same events into Discord.

Player tracking

How to Track Players in Rust

Keeping tabs on a specific rival or raider usually means manually refreshing BattleMetrics. This covers watching them automatically instead.

Smart devices

Rust Smart Alarm: What It Does and How to Set One Up

The Smart Alarm only reacts to power, not damage on its own. This covers wiring it correctly and what to check when it doesn't fire.

Rust Smart Switch: What It Does and How to Use One

Toggling turrets, lights, or doors normally means walking back to the switch. This covers common wiring uses and controlling one remotely.

Skip the manual setup

rustchad pairs with your server and handles alerts, tracking and smart devices without you wiring a bot together yourself.
