The RUST Cargo Ship Command

The RUST cargo ship command is a server event that can be manually spawned in by server admins. When used, the CCSC Lazarus cargo ship, part of the Cobalt Cargo Shipping Company, will appear and automatically navigate itself to the event’s determined course around the island. It is crewed by the gun-wielding scientist in blue radiation suits.

The cargo ship event will automatically spawn and is enabled by having the cargoship.event_enabled configuration set to true. This event configuration differs from other events, such as the Patrol Helicopter and Airdrop which operate from the server.events configuration.

Patrolling the decks of the CCSC Lazarus, the heavily armed scientist will kill on sight. They are protecting a payload of 2 locked loot crates, which each spawn at random locations on the ship’s deck. These locked crates operate in the same fashion as the Chinook 47 event and require players to “hack” them before their contents are accessible.

The Lazarus will spend a full 40 minutes, by default, sailing around the island before it begins to egress completely off the map. Both the default sail time and egress duration are modifiable through configurations. Players beware of the lethal level of radiation that may trigger as it begins to egress.
