just started yesterday, what is the correct way to place a wall? 🙏
@NakedAndAfraid The least textured orientation should go on the inside of the base.
Oops, I turned off the servers again while looking at trains. 😂😂
Who will join me and storm the American border?

Not your typical game server
You've probably been burned before. Toxic chats, pay-to-win shops, dead servers. Here's how we do things differently.
Pay $20/month for a VIP kit that lets you dominate day one
Everyone starts equal. No kits, no shop, no shortcuts.
Ask a question in chat and get roasted by the whole server
Ask anything. Our community actually wants to help you learn.
Admins vanish after a week, server dies mid-wipe
Dedicated team running servers for 2+ years with consistent wipes.
Get raided offline by a 10-man clan while you sleep
Balanced group limits and rules that keep it fair for everyone.
Think you've outgrown us?
Good. That was the plan.
4noobs was built to get you started. But once you've learned the ropes and you're ready for vanilla Rust with no training wheels, we've got something for you. Meet Rustadia, our sister community for players who want the real deal. Same team behind the scenes, but the gloves are off.
Check Out Rustadia“Vanilla Rust. No Bullshit.”

Got questions? We've got answers.
Everything you need to know before jumping in. Can't find your answer? Ask us on Discord.
Absolutely. A big chunk of our community started here as complete beginners. We have dedicated help channels on Discord, mentors who volunteer their time, and a no-toxicity policy that means you can ask anything without getting flamed.
VIP is cosmetic and convenience only: colored name in chat, queue skip during peak hours, and access to some fun plugins on our modded servers. There are no gameplay advantages like kits, loot boosts, or resource multipliers. Everyone plays on the same terms.
Only if the community votes for it or Facepunch forces a BP wipe. We believe your grind should carry over between wipes, so you can jump back in without re-learning everything.
We follow the standard Rust force-wipe schedule on the first Thursday of every month. Some servers have additional mid-month map wipes to keep things fresh. Each server page has its specific schedule.
It depends on the server. We run different configurations from solo/duo/trio all the way to quad+ servers. Check each server's page for its specific rules. We enforce these limits to keep gameplay balanced.
Report them in our Discord and our admin team will investigate. We run active anti-cheat monitoring alongside automated detection. Confirmed cheaters get permanently banned. We take this seriously because fair play is the foundation of our community.
Head to our Servers page and click Connect on the server you want to join. For Rust, press F1 to open the console and type: client.connect [server IP], or search for '4noobs' in the in-game server browser. For DayZ, use the DayZ launcher or add the server IP directly. For Minecraft, copy the server address and add it to your multiplayer server list.
Yes. Open a ticket in our Discord server and an admin will review your case. We believe in second chances when appropriate, and all bans are logged with evidence so appeals can be handled fairly.
That's exactly what we like to hear. Check out Rustadia, our sister community for players who want vanilla Rust with no handholding. Same team behind the scenes, but the gloves are off. Head to rustadia.com to see what you're getting into.
