Settings Reference
Every Rustalytics setting documented: alert toggles, message formatting, locked-crate timer, language, command prefix. Identical keys across the desktop app and Pro web app.
Overview
Both the desktop app and the Pro web app edit the same settings bag — keyed by your Steam account. Toggle anything in one place and the other side picks it up the next time it connects.
Alert toggles
Each toggle decides whether the bot announces an event in team chat.
| Key | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| deaths | Notify when teammates die. | On |
| afk | Notify when teammates go AFK or come back. | On |
| team joins/leaves | Notify when players join or leave the team. Independent of whitelist/blacklist alerts. | On |
| team online/offline | Notify when a teammate logs in or out of the server. | On |
| vendings | Notify when a vending machine appears or disappears from the map. | On |
| oils | Notify when an oil rig is called and when its crate opens. Radiation alerts work on most servers. | On |
| heli | Patrol heli spawn, crash, and leave-map events. | On |
| cargo | Cargoship spawn, crate spawns, harbor docks, and leave-map events. | On |
| chinook | Chinook 47 spawn and locked-crate drop events. | On |
| trackernotifications | Send a Windows toast (in addition to chat) when a tracked player joins or leaves the server. | Off |
Message formatting
Some servers reject messages with too many special characters or block all-caps spam. These toggles let you stay polite to those filters.
| Key | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| emoji | Use emoji-style messages. Turn off if your server complains about special characters. | On |
| caps | Strip all capital letters from outgoing messages. | Off |
| special | Strip all non-alphanumeric characters from messages (keeps a–z, 0–9, .). | Off |
Numeric tuners
| Key | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| messagedelay | Seconds to wait between outgoing chat messages. Increase if your server rate-limits. | 0 |
| cratetimer | Minutes for a hackable crate to open. Default is the vanilla 15. Hardcore-style servers may want 5 or 10. | 15 |
Localization and prefix
| Key | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| language | Bot reply language. Currently English, Spanish (Spain), and Russian. | en |
| cmdprefix | Character that prefixes chat commands. One of ! . , : ; | ! |
Changing cmdprefix updates every chat command at once
— if you set it to ., then .craft ak works and !craft ak doesn't.
Restore defaults
Click Restore defaults in the desktop Settings page (or call the same button in Pro) to reset every key to the values shown above. Custom switch names and tracked players are not touched.
Settings sync between desktop and Pro
Whenever you change a setting on the desktop app, it's uploaded to our servers and stored against your Steam account. The Pro web app reads from the same bag, so:
- You don't lose your config when you re-install or move PCs.
- Pro inherits whatever you had configured in Basic.
- Edits in either place reach the other one within a few seconds.
