Built by the community,
for the community.
The Think About Rust is a survey and blueprint tool. It asks Rust players what old Rust should feel like, then turns those answers into a server design that real people actually want.
Why this exists
Every "old-school Rust" server reads like one person's opinion of what old Rust was. Most don't agree with each other. None of them ask the players first.
This project is the opposite of that. Instead of guessing, we ask the community a structured set of questions about progression, combat, raiding, the wipe cadence — everything that defines how a server feels — and we publish the results.
How it works
Take the survey
About 8 minutes for the full thing — but you can skip any question and stop at any time. Every answer auto-saves the moment you make it.
We aggregate
Responses are grouped per question and per section so we can see where players actually agree.
We publish the blueprint
The result is a public document showing what the community wants the next old-school Rust server to be.
What you should know
- Free, no email lists, no resale of your answers. We use Steam sign-in only to prevent ballot stuffing.
- There is no submit button. Every answer saves automatically and is editable any time you sign back in.
- Aggregated results are public. Individual answers are not — your name and email are never shown.
