Before you come in from the cold.

Coalheart is a fan-made Rust server inspired by Frostpunk, run by a small team. It is not made by, endorsed by or affiliated with Facepunch Studios, 11 bit studios or Valve. Rust, Steam and Easy Anti-Cheat have their own terms, and they apply here too.

Playing is free: you need your own copy of Rust on Steam. You play by the rules, in game and on Discord; the rules page says what gets you banned and how to report a player.

• The world wipes on a schedule (the wipe calendar shows when): bases, items, Heat Credits, homes, standing with the places and the Furnace all start again.
• What carries over a wipe: the leaderboard's totals, your titles and a linked Discord account.
• A crash, a rollback, a bug or a change to the game can cost you items or progress. We fix what we can, but we don't owe anything back.

Your name, your signs, your letters, your base and what you send with /feedback or /report are yours to answer for. We may hide or remove anything that breaks the rules. In-game names show on this site and on Discord as the privacy page explains; what you send us to improve the game we may use to improve it.

The staff may warn, mute, kick or ban to keep the server fair, and their decisions are final. To appeal, message a Steward on our Discord.

Nothing on Coalheart is sold for real money: not Heat Credits, not titles, not an advantage. Heat Credits are earned in game and spent in game; they have no value outside it.

The server, this site and the Discord bot are offered as they are, with no promise that they are always up or free of bugs. We may change, pause or close any of them, and change these terms; the date below says when they last changed.
