    Hello,
    I can not save my configuration files.

    example:
    -In The game, F1 , Console, I type server.stability false.
    So far, everything okay ..

    Server.writecfg .. Same .
    Except that if I restart my server , stability returns true, I can not find the configuration file in the FTP .


    Thank you

    Edit your server/identity/serverauto.cfg and add the command there, one per line. If editing while the server is online, use server.readcfg after.

    For some reason Rust uses two config files, serverauto.cfg and server.cfg.... some commands are saved by server.writecfg in serverauto.cfg... everything else needs to be added manually to server.cfg.

    I suppose adding manually to serverauto.cfg is doable too like Wulf suggests.

    I've actually had server.cfg getting wiped lately, so I just store under serverauto.cfg for all now.

    Local. The file was there, never changed after the initial move from cfg/server.cfg to server/identity/cfg/server.cfg, then gone the next time.

    You may want to try server/identity/cfg/server.cfg too, manually creating it if needed. I just tested serverauto.cfg after using "server.writecfg" in the console, and it wiped it entirely. So I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes, but it seems like the server wipes it if there's nothing to write.

    I think Facepunch doesn't classify any "server." command as a setting, so they don't save to the file from the console.
