About this app

RustControl is an RCON administration app for Rust, a game by Facepunch Studios. It allows you to administrate your server from your smartphone.

A note on the in-app purchases:
First of all: buying the app unlocks all functionality! However, you will be able to access an additional service called RustBot from the app. RustBot is a 24/7 hosted Rust RCON bot. You can schedule commands with it or respond to certain messages in the console/chat. Because this is hosted on a server it will cost a certain monthly fee.
Everything you can do manually is and always will be included in the base price!

RustControl supports oxide and multiple plugins, check below to see which ones.

FAQ

Which port should I use to connect to my server?
Usually the RCON port is your Rust server port +1 or +10. Ask your host for more information if both don't work.

I can't find a certain item in the item-list!
After a Rust update, it can take a day or two before new items are added. If the item still isn't in the list, you can contact me using the in-app feedback button.

Ratings and reviews

I've had the app for about 20 minutes. Its works beautiful. The sliders are brilliant. The only reason I only give it a 4 star rating is its missing a few things. 1. A slider for sea level 2. A slider for env.time 3. A toggle switch env.progresstime And 4. An adjustment option for hot air balloons. Nice bonus features (but not needed) could be.. 1. An option to create natural tides (not sure how hard that would be) 2. The ability to adjust stability 3. Whitelist/blacklist access with UI

Great & Easy to use. App is designed well and easy to use. Easier using this rather than trying to navigate via my phone browser. Good for monotoring when not at the computer. One thing I would highly recommend adding is the option to add Ban notes when banning a player. Would make it 10x easier when it comes to my staff team navigating and managing 👌

I had a review here ages ago, but it was rather bland. I have used RustControll on and off on multiple servers over the last 2 years, and it's great. Good for checking on the server when I'm not home. I recently started using the additional features of the rustbot service subscription, and it's great for triggering notifications to my phone for the Admin call. Secondly, Email support is great!. Bas helped me out with a small Android issue within a few hours of me sending the email. Thank you!
