How to Change the Auto-Save Interval on a Rust Server

STEP1. Log in to the Game Panel.

Account information is required to access the Game Panel. Use your login credentials to access the Game Panel and open the server management page.

STEP2. Click the “Stop” button in the upper right of the item in “Dashboard”.

You need to stop the currently running Rust server. On the “Dashboard” page, click the “Stop” button and wait for the server to shut down.

STEP3. Select [Console] from the left menu.

Once the server stops, click “Console” in the left menu to open the console window. From here you can send commands directly to the server.

STEP4. Enter the following command in the console.

server.saveinterval <seconds>

By default, the save interval is 600 seconds (10 minutes). Use this command to set your desired save interval.

STEP5. Next, enter server.writecfg and press Enter to save the changes.

Use the “server.writecfg” command to save changes to the configuration file. This will apply the new save interval to your server settings.

STEP6. Verify the new auto-save interval in the console.

This allows you to confirm the interval at which the server is currently saving data. If the new value is displayed, you can confirm that the change has been completed.

This completes the procedure for changing the auto-save interval on your Rust server.
