About RGZ
Royalgamerz — RGZ— is a resource for Rust server admins. It exists because the information admins need is scattered across host knowledgebases that copy each other, decade-old forum threads, and marketplace listings that won't tell you when a plugin is broken.
How RGZ works
The whole site is built around one principle: everything is tested and dated. A guide that doesn't say when it was last checked is a guide you can't trust — Rust updates every month and breaks things. So every guide carries a visible "last updated" date, every plugin in the directory has a compatibility verdict that was actually checked, and when a monthly update changes something, the affected pages get revised.
Content is also kept narrow on purpose. Instead of one giant "ultimate guide," each page answers a single real question — the exact thing an admin typed into search at 2am when a plugin stopped loading — and answers it completely, with exact file paths and the failure modes the host knowledgebases skip.
What's on the site
- Server-admin guides— practical, dated troubleshooting and setup for Carbon & Oxide.
- The plugin directory — a catalog of Carbon/Oxide plugins, each with a tested compatibility verdict, an annotated config example, and known conflicts.
- Free tools — a config validator and a compatibility checker that run entirely in your browser.
- Plugin dev tutorials — learning to write Carbon plugins in C#.
How the directory works (and our rules)
The plugin directory links outto uMod and Codefling — the official sources — to download anything. RGZ never rehosts plugin files, and never republishes paid plugin content. What we add is the part those sources don't: an honest, tested verdict on whether a plugin actually works right now, and what it conflicts with.
A note on independence
RGZ is not affiliated with Facepunch Studios, the Carbon project, or uMod. Rust is a trademark of Facepunch Studios. The site is supported by display advertising and may use affiliate links for server hosting — neither changes a compatibility verdict. If a popular plugin is broken, the directory says so.
