1. Check CORE before connecting.
Open the status page for a current heartbeat and verified connection address. If online, connect through Steam or paste the supplied connect command into the Rust F1 console.
2. Get established.
Type /kits and choose Starter for a stone hatchet, stone pickaxe and three apples. The free Starter cooldown is six hours. Build a base, place a tool cupboard and continue normal Rust research and workbench progression.
3. Pick an objective.
Open /network and choose Contracts, or accept an objective in chat with /contract scout, /contract delivery or /contract blackbox. Entering /contract alone shows status and choices in chat. Use /contract status to track an accepted objective. For a first supply run, Scout rewards 40 scrap, 30 credits and 20 points.
4. Know your tools.
Click a command to copy it. These commands are entered in game chat.
5. Check your own history.
Sign in through Steam to review your credit balances, membership and reward receipts. A pending or uncertain receipt is a delivery state, not proof that items have reached your inventory.
