Introduction to Unturned Administration

Effectively managing an Unturned server requires knowledge of essential admin commands and understanding permission systems. This guide covers the most important commands and tools for server administrators on Wasabi Hosting.

​
Basic Permission Systems

Unturned offers several ways to manage admin permissions on your Wasabi Hosting server:

The built-in permission system is basic but sufficient for small servers.

Permission Levels:

  • Admin - Full server control
  • Moderator - Limited administrative abilities
  • Guest - Regular player

This system is configured in the Admins.dat and Mods.dat files.

​
Setting Up Vanilla Permissions

To add administrators or moderators to your server:

  1. Find the player’s Steam64 ID using a service like SteamID.io
  2. Add the ID to the appropriate file:

For administrators, edit /Servers/YourServerName/Server/Admins.dat:

// Format: One Steam64 ID per line
76561198012345678
76561198087654321

For moderators, edit /Servers/YourServerName/Server/Mods.dat:

// Format: One Steam64 ID per line
76561198012345678
76561198087654321

After editing these files, restart your server for the changes to take effect.

​
Vanilla Admin Commands

These commands are available in the base game for administrators:

/item <itemID> [amount]             // Give yourself an item

​
Moderation Commands

/poll <question>                    // Start a poll

​
Rocket Admin System

If you’re using Rocket (recommended for more control), you’ll have access to more powerful commands and permission management.

​
Installing Rocket

  1. Download Rocket from the official repository
  2. Extract the files to your server’s root directory
  3. Restart your server
  4. Configure permissions in /Rocket/Permissions.config.xml

​
Rocket Permission Structure

<RocketPermissions>
  <DefaultGroup>default</DefaultGroup>
  <Groups>
    <Group>
      <Id>default</Id>
      <DisplayName>Player</DisplayName>
      <Color>white</Color>
      <Permissions />
    </Group>
    <Group>
      <Id>moderator</Id>
      <DisplayName>Moderator</DisplayName>
      <Color>yellow</Color>
      <Permissions>
        <Permission>rocket.tp</Permission>
        <Permission>rocket.tphere</Permission>
        <Permission>rocket.heal</Permission>
        <Permission>rocket.kick</Permission>
      </Permissions>
    </Group>
    <Group>
      <Id>admin</Id>
      <DisplayName>Admin</DisplayName>
      <Color>red</Color>
      <ParentGroup>moderator</ParentGroup>
      <Permissions>
        <Permission>rocket.*</Permission>
      </Permissions>
    </Group>
  </Groups>
</RocketPermissions>

The ParentGroup element creates permission inheritance, so admins automatically get all moderator permissions.

​
User Management in Rocket

To add a user to a group, edit /Rocket/Permissions.config.xml and add:

<Players>
  <Player>
    <Id>76561198012345678</Id>
    <DisplayName>AdminName</DisplayName>
    <Group>admin</Group>
  </Player>
</Players>

Advanced Admin Tools

​
Setting Up Auto-Commands

You can configure commands to run automatically at server startup or at intervals:

  1. Create or edit /Rocket/AutoCommands.config.xml:
<AutoCommands>
  <Interval>300</Interval>
  <Commands>
    <Command>say Server will save in 10 seconds</Command>
    <Command delay="10">save</Command>
    <Command>say Server saved successfully</Command>
  </Commands>
</AutoCommands>
  1. This will run the specified commands every 300 seconds (5 minutes)

​
Troubleshooting Permission Issues

If commands aren’t working on your Wasabi Hosting Unturned server:

  1. Check syntax - Commands are case-sensitive
  2. Verify permissions - Make sure the user has the correct permissions
  3. Check plugin compatibility - Some plugins conflict with each other
  4. Look at logs - Check /Rocket/Logs/ for error messages
  5. Test in single-player - Try the command in a single player game
  6. Restart the server - Permission changes often require a restart

By understanding these commands and permission systems, you’ll be equipped to effectively manage your Unturned server on Wasabi Hosting. If you need further assistance, contact our support team.
