Setting Up and Managing Rust Server Blueprints

Blueprints in Rust control which items players can craft and require them to be unlocked through gameplay. Server owners can enable, disable, or modify blueprints to change progression speed, balance PvP, or create unique gameplay experiences.

This guide will walk you through resetting blueprints, unlocking them for all players, and managing progression using VolticHost Game Panel.

📌 Prerequisites

A Rust server purchased at VolticHost.com
Access to VolticHost Game Panel
(Optional) Oxide/uMod installed for advanced blueprint management

1️⃣ Wipe All Blueprints (Reset Progression)

If you want all players to start fresh with no blueprints unlocked:

Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.
Click on your Rust server.
Navigate to the File Manager tab.
Delete the following file:
```
/server/rust/player.blueprints.db
```
Restart the server.

✅ Blueprint progression has been fully wiped!

2️⃣ Unlock All Blueprints for Every Player

To allow players to craft all items without unlocking them:

Open the Console tab.
Enter the following command:
```
server.unlockall true
```
Press Enter to apply the change.

✅ All blueprints are now automatically unlocked for every player!

3️⃣ Adjust Blueprint Unlock Rate (For Balanced Progression)

To increase or decrease how quickly players unlock blueprints:

Open the Console tab.
Adjust the blueprint scrap cost multiplier:
```
server.scrapcostmultiplier 0.5
```
- 1.0 → Default blueprint cost.
- 0.5 → Blueprints cost half the normal scrap amount.
- 2.0 → Blueprints cost twice as much scrap.
Press Enter to save the setting.

✅ Players now unlock blueprints at a custom rate!

4️⃣ Restrict Certain Blueprints (Block Specific Items)

If you want to prevent players from unlocking or crafting specific blueprints, install NoBluePrints from uMod.

Install Oxide (uMod) from the Mod Manager.
Download NoBluePrints from uMod.
Upload the .cs file to:
```
/oxide/plugins/
```
Open:
```
/oxide/config/NoBluePrints.json
```

Add the names of items you want to block from blueprints:

"BlockedBlueprints": [
    "rifle.ak",
    "explosive.timed",
    "rocket.launcher"
]

Click Save File and restart the server.

✅ Blocked items can no longer be researched or crafted!

5️⃣ Restart the Server to Apply Changes

Navigate to the Console tab in VolticHost Game Panel.
Click Stop to shut down the server.
Wait a few seconds, then click Start to relaunch the server with updated blueprint settings.

✅ Blueprint management settings are now active!
