Vantic for Rust Console Edition
Rust Console Live Map and Player Radar
A Rust Console live map and player radar shows an admin where everyone is on the server, on your real map. You enter your seed and world size once and Vantic renders a console-accurate image, so a player dot lands where they truly are rather than on a generic grid. Positions are read from the server and stamped with how fresh they are, because a radar that shows an old position as current is worse than none, and the tool is meant for watching events, wipe day and suspected cheaters. The honesty is the point: every dot carries a timestamp, so you always know how live the picture really is.
Your map, your players, and an honest timestamp on every single dot.
The map is yours
Enter your map seed once and Vantic renders a console-accurate map image, matched to your world size so every dot lands where the player actually is.
ZORP protection zones draw straight onto it as rings: green for raidable bases, red for sealed ones, so admins read the whole battlefield at a glance.
Positions without pretending
No radar on console updates in true real time, so the thing that matters is honesty about age. Vantic stamps every dot with how fresh it is - green under fifteen seconds, amber under forty-five, red beyond - instead of presenting a stale position as if it were live. The same honesty holds when the link itself drops: if a Rust Console bot keeps disconnecting after a host restart or wipe, Vantic reconnects with backoff and shows real status instead of a fake online.
It is also deliberately light on your server, so running the radar never slows the game for your players.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the map image come from?
It is generated from your map seed and world size - the same inputs your host panel shows - so it matches what players see in game.
How live is the radar really?
Positions refresh on a rolling sweep that reads about one player per second - so on a small server each dot is only a few seconds old, while on a full one the sweep takes roughly a second per online player - and every dot always shows its actual age. No radar on console can do true real-time - Vantic is just the one that says so.
Can other people see my map and my players?
The map itself is not a secret - it is generated from your world seed, and our own map generator is free for anyone to use with any seed. The live layer is the part that is yours: player positions and ZORP zones sit behind Discord sign-in and are only served to people authorised on your server.
Does the radar show raid protection zones?
Yes - ZORP zones render as green or red rings directly on the map.
