    Hi, I wonder what other setting the serverauto.cfg file accepts other then fps.limit "256"?
    Could i put server.saveinterval "60" in there?

    The serverauto.cfg file actually isn't used at all. Instead, create a cfg folder in your server root (where RustDedicated.exe is) and then create a server.cfg file under that folder.

    Once that is done, you can use pretty much any command or setting, one per line, without + or - prefixing them.

    Will the server treat the command values as a string by default or do you have to mark them as string or integer with " " in the new config file?

    Ex:
    server.saveinterval "60" or server.saveinterval 60

    Either way should work, same as it does via the command-line. Strings with spaces most likely would need quotes.

    Isn't the /rustds/cfg/server.cfg-file read by the server anymore, @Wulf?

    No, the Rust server reads it from the proper path now since about 1 update ago (announced in Dev Blog). server/<identity>/cfg/serverauto.cfg.

    Hey guys

    I have a bit of a problem.
    I just made a wipe of my server and it didnt create a new serverauto.cfg file.

    As far as I remember there was some default content in it but cant remember what it was.

    I created the new serversuto.cfg file now but its empty.
    Any idea what to add there? coz im a bit of a blank.

    You'd make a server.cfg file.

    Will it automatically add some default content in it?

    Thanks Wulf :)
