RustSurvivor

D7Discord bot

The Rust Discord bot that brings your team chat to Discord

RustSurvivor is a Rust+ Discord bot. One /install command sets up channels for your team chat, raid alerts, smart switches and tracked players, so your squad can follow the server and talk to whoever is in game without opening Rust.

D8Team chat relay

Your Rust team chat, inside Discord

Most Discord bots for Rust only post notifications. RustSurvivor relays the chat itself: everything your team writes in game appears in #team-chat, and anything you write in that channel is sent to the team in game. Clan chat works the same way in #clan-chat.

In-game commands work from Discord too. Type !pop or !team in #team-chat and the answer shows up in both places. With several servers paired, every message says which server it came from, and replying to a line sends your message to that server only.

D9Channels

One install, every channel

/install creates one RustSurvivor category for all your servers and keeps channels you already have. Live cards update by themselves, and if a channel is deleted the bot puts it back.

Questions, answered

How do I add the Rust Discord bot to my server?
Open the Discord Bot tab in the RustSurvivor dashboard and click Add bot to server, then run /install in your Discord server. It creates a RustSurvivor category with every channel, shared by all the Rust servers you pair. By default only you and the bot can see them; add your team with /role add.
Can I talk to my team in game from Discord?
Yes. #team-chat shows your in-game team chat live and #clan-chat your clan chat, and anything you write there is sent to that chat in game. Reply to a line to send it to that server only.
What happens if someone deletes a bot channel?
The bot repairs itself: deleted channels come back with their name, permissions and position, and the live cards are posted again.
Who can change the bot settings in Discord?
Only the person who installed the bot in a Discord server sees #settings and can run /install, /uninstall and /clear there. Members can read the other channels, write in #team-chat and #clan-chat, and use the buttons.
Do I need Discord to use RustSurvivor?
Every account links Discord once, but the bot in your Discord server is optional. The dashboard works in any browser with the same alerts, map and devices.
