Welcome to a new chapter of HWS in HWS Rust!
Published (June 3, 2026 at 18:43 GMT+2 server time)

Hello, HWS Community @everyone.
Facepunch have just released their update, which that I'll start the launch process for the HWS Rust servers momentarily. If everything goes smoothly, I expect both servers to be up within 5-10 minutes, as soon as the servers have updated and maps generated.
You can connect by opening Rust and using these commands in your F1 console:
HWS Nexus EU: client.connect nexus.rust-homeworld.net:28010
HWS Horizon NA: client.connect horizon.rust-homeworld.net:28010
Until June 11th, by 20:00 server time, a 25% starter discount for all subscription tiers has been enabled at https://rust-homeworld.net/support, which applies to the first month of your subscription. Supporting the servers is of course completely voluntary, but it is greatly appreciated from my side! Hopefully we can together create some awesome Rust servers that will be running for a long time.
And remember to take advantage of the Cross Server Rewards! By having been in-game in HWS Empyrion within the last 14 days (and the opposite direction as well!), you will receive some cool rewards when you join the HWS Rust servers.
To make things easy for you, I gathered the most important links here below.

I appreciate all the feedback and ideas that have been given already, and the feedback that will come in the future as well.
