You can't see your Rust server on the community or modded tab? Here's what you can do to fix that.
There is many reasons why your server wouldn't appear in server list. Normally you should be able to resolve that by following one of the steps below.
Checklist For Appearing In Server List:
Wait A bit longer- It can take a long time to appear due to the large number of servers. If you freshly purchased your server give it several minutes to show up in the server list. Make sure your server is running by logging in to your game panel here.
Update Your Rust Client- Sometimes it is possible that a new Client update has been released. If your server and your client have different updates you will not be able to see the server. Go to Steam and check for possible updates for Rust. Restart Steam if you have to, as sometimes it doesn't update the pending downloads list.
Update Your Server- If Rust and Oxide are not up to date, the server will not appear. Follow our guide here on how to update your server manually. You can make this automatic if you have a restart schedule. Now every time your server restarts it will update without you doing anything!
Clear The Steam Cache- Go to Files tab and in the "steam" folder delete both "appcache" and "config" and Restart your server.
Shorten Server Title- If the name is too long or includes special characters, it can cause the server to not show in server list.
Select Show Empty- If your server has no players connected it won't show if you have not selected the "Show Empty" filter on the server list. Select it and click Refresh.
Make sure you are looking in the correct tab- Your server will appear in the Modded List by default, so make sure you are searching in the Modded tab for your server. Your server will only appear in Community if you follow the steps in this article here.
Your Server Is Blacklisted- If you have checked for all above options, it is possible that your server has been removed by Facepunch. This is most commonly caused if someone is switching maps constantly during a small period of time being viewed as "Fake wipes" by Facepunch, which is against TOS. If you think this is the cause open a ticket with us on Discord or the Website to assist you further.
