Where do I put server.cfg?

In server/ /cfg/server.cfg, where is the +server.identity value (folder created on first launch).

Why is a value ignored?

Make sure there is no “+” or “-” before the directive, that the name exists in your version (“find ” console command) and that the server was restarted.

How to use Rust server.cfg generator?

A Rust server's server.cfg lives in server/<identity>/cfg/; each line is a console command without the “+” used on the launch line. This tool builds and imports it without sending anything to a server.
