To use any of the commands from this complete Rust Server Admin Commands list, you must have access to RCON by either ownerid or moderatorid to use server commands or variables. You can also press F1 in game to input commands.
Make sure to subscribe to our channel to get more weekly content.
If you’re running a server locally, you can use the commands in the cmd window.
In our case, we run a simple Oxide server locally for our base design builds.
You can check this guide on how to setup Rust server with Oxide.
