Staging Maps

Schedule

  • When FacePunch updates Monuments or introduces other map changes, the updated changes are first available on the Staging branch.

  • The final version of staging updates are generally on the last Thursday of the month when FacePunch updates Staging.

  • Staging maps become live Production maps on the first Thursday of the month when FacePunch forced wipe occurs.


Editing

Staging maps can be edited with RustEdit after some configuration:

  1. Install Rust - Staging Branch through the Steam > Library

  2. Edit "Rust Install Location" in C:\Program Files (x86)\RustEdit\config.json to the path of the Bundles file from the Staging Client or Server. Generally "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\RustStaging\\Bundles\\Bundles"

    • You may need to edit the file as Administrator.

  3. Confirm map works by loading the map onto a Staging server.
