New player journey
Welcome to the Server
RustyBoomer runs an EU Vanilla Plus (PvE) server with shop & plugins. This guide is for newcomers. You can build, explore monuments, and progress without random offline raids. Brand new to Rust? Start with our Rust basics tutorial. Each monthly wipe advances the Bomberman's Story — begin at Chapter I.

Pick a calm build spot

Join Discord
Announcements, wipe times, support tickets, and ban appeals run through Support — not in-game DMs.

What is Blood?
Blood is our website currency for supporter items. Buy Blood on the Wallet page (with required digital-content consent), then spend in the Shop. Deliveries go to your linked Steam account when you are online in-game.
Unspent Blood refunds — see Refund Policy.
How do raidbases work?
Raidbases are pre-built bases full of loot, bought with in-game Scrap and spawned near you to raid. Deposit Scrap with the vendor in-game, buy a base in the Shop, then spawn it from your Inventory.
