<cat>Play.Hosting</cat> <title>Server Gamemodes</title> Starting since February 4th 2021 all servers will be able to set various gamemodes. So far there are **7** modes that server owners can set. Everything is subject to change. # Changing gamemodes Gamemode can be set using convar `+server.gamemode <name>`. Put it in your server startup config and changes will be applied on launch. There is also an other command that can be used at runtime, `gamemode.set <name>`. Check information below for the full list of currently available modes. <warning>DO NOT switch between vanilla/softcore mid-wipe. This will reset all players and their inventory with no possibility to revert this.</warning> # Gamemodes List | Gamemode Name | Description | |:-------------:|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | vanilla | Default Rust gameplay | | softcore | Vanilla gameplay but with some changes to make the game easier.

(not available if they are marked as hostile) + Not all loot is lost on death: 50% of inventory and 50% of hotbar items can be reclaimed at safe zone. Armor isn't saved. Players have only 2 hours to retrieve it, after that it'll disappear. This is an experimental gamemode and will change in the future. # Softcore Settings Softcore comes with three convars that allows you to edit amount of random items players can reclaim at safezone terminals. **0** means 0%, **0.5** means 50%, **1** means 100%. | Convar | Description | Default Value | |----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|:-------------:| | gamemodesoftcore.reclaim_fraction_belt | % of items that will be saved from hotbar | 0.5 | | gamemodesoftcore.reclaim_fraction_main | % of items that will be saved from inventory | 0.5 | | gamemodesoftcore.reclaim_fraction_wear | % of armor that will be saved | 0 |
