Manage Connected Servers

Open the dashboard, choose Manage Server on your game server, then open Server Management in the sidebar.

You need to own the Discord server or have Manage Server or Administrator permission. Copying settings requires Administrator permission or ownership, plus Premium on the destination game server.

This page lists every connected game server in the selected Discord community, including free servers. Check the server card before acting. Enable All and Disable All affect the whole community, even when you opened the dashboard through one Rust server.

Connect another server

Choose Connect Server on the main dashboard. You can also choose Add Server on the Premium page.

Select your Discord server, enter your hosting panel's RCON details, and tick any channels you want Helios to create. Follow Connect your first server for the full walkthrough.

Edit a connection

1. Find the correct game server and choose Edit Connection.
2. Change only the fields you need.
3. Leave the replacement password blank to keep the current RCON password.
4. Click Save Changes and wait for the result. Changed connection details are checked before they are saved. Cancel leaves the connection unchanged.

Enter the IP address only in Public IPv4 address; enter the RCON port separately. Use your RCON password, not your hosting-account or Discord password.

New RCON password starts blank because saved passwords are never displayed. A blank replacement field does not mean the server has no password. Changing the Server key changes the identifier used in commands and dashboard links; update external references afterward.

The server card hides the RCON address by default. Use the eye button when you need to check it, then hide it again before sharing a screenshot. The IP and port in this edit-form screenshot are blurred; no changes were saved.

After saving connection changes, return to Overview → Send Command and run fps. See Server Connection for the illustrated test and failure checks. If the save response cannot be confirmed, use Refresh and check the current values before repeating the change.

Pause or resume Helios

Choose Disable on a server and review the confirmation. Choose Enable when you want Helios to reconnect.

The dialog is a preview until you click Disable Server. Cancel keeps Helios connected. Enabling resumes Helios; it does not start or restart your game server.

Disabling a connection pauses Helios for that server. It does not shut down your Rust server or cancel Premium. The all-server controls affect every connected game server in the selected Discord community, so check the scope before confirming.

Copy settings to another server

Open the server that should receive the settings, then choose Copy Settings Here.

1. Choose a different source server from the same Discord community.
2. Choose Merge or Overwrite.
3. Read the scope, check the acknowledgement, and type the destination server key exactly as shown.
4. Click Start Copy and follow its progress until it completes. Do not start a second copy while one is running.

Option	What happens
Merge	Adds missing entries and preserves matching entries already on the destination.
Overwrite	Deletes the destination's kits and replaces the copied settings. This cannot be undone.

Both connections must be enabled, and the destination needs Premium. For example, to bring your main server's setup onto a new server, open the new server first and select your main server as the source.

Copy Settings Here is disabled when there is no other eligible source, as in the one-server screenshot above. It can also be unavailable when you lack Administrator permission, the destination lacks Premium or is disabled, or a copy involving either server is still running. Read the message under the card rather than adding a duplicate connection.

The copy includes in-game kits and supported configuration such as binds, automations, feeds, portals, and ORP. Player stats, balances, history, and Premium are not copied. Recheck destination channels and settings after completion.

If a copy stops with an error, contact support before starting it again.

Remove an old connection

Choose Remove, read the Premium notice, and confirm the server key.

The removal dialog also requires an acknowledgement before Permanently Remove Server. Your actual Rust server and Discord channels are not deleted by removing the Helios connection.

This permanently deletes the connection and its server-specific Helios data. The confirmation explains whether Premium will be returned as a token, removed, or scheduled to cancel. Use Disable instead if you only want a temporary pause.

Prefer Discord?

Run these in your private admin channel and choose the correct game server:

Command	Use it to
/server add	Connect a game server.
/server list	Review your connected servers.
/server edit	Update a connection.
/server enable	Pause or resume Helios.
/server copy	Copy kits and settings to another server.
/server remove	Permanently remove a connection.
/setup	Create setup channels and configure feeds.

For a single-server pause, include the target: /server enable enabled:No server:"<YOUR SERVER>". Use Yes to resume. Leaving the server option empty applies to all connected servers in that Discord community.

For feature toggles and explosive item restrictions, open Server Settings. See Ban and Unban Boom for the item controls.
