    DUCKSIDE Admin Guide

    Managing your DUCKSIDE server can be too challenging without admin permissions, as you’d be only using the webinterface. Fortunately, you can easily become an administrator and use a specialized panel in-game to ban players, spawn items, edit settings, and so much more. In this guide, we’ll be showing you how to become an admin on your own DUCKSIDE server and breakdown the admin panel.

    How to Become Admin on a DUCKSIDE Server

    With 5 easy steps, you can quickly become an admin on a DUCKSIDE server at Nitrado.
     
    Follow the steps below to begin the process!

    1. Head towards your Nitrado webinterface, then stop the server.
    2. Continue to click “General” under “Settings”, near the left of your screen.
      Nitrado settings menu

    3. Afterward, use SteamID I/O to find your SteamID64 for the account.
       find your SteamID

    4. Copy and paste the values into the “Admin ID” field on your webinterface.

    5. Make sure to save changes and start up the server!

    DUCKSIDE Admin Panel

    After becoming an admin in your DUCKSIDE server, you’ll be granted access to the admin panel. While in-game, press F10 on your keyboard to open the menu. There are several options and categories to check out, ranging from server settings to gameplay mechanics. The following sections will guide you through each category to help you better understand the admin panel.

    Server Options

    Duckside server option

    The best way to quickly change the server password, set maximum number of players, or other various general settings is to use the server options. This is the first category on your admin panel, providing you with lots of features. For example, you can teleport to a specific marker or enable / disable PVE. All of these server options can be found below:

    • Maximum players
    • Server password
    • Maximum players per squad
    • Reserved admin player slots
    • Toggle PVE
    • Toggle NPC kill log
    • Game Time settings

    Player Options

    Duckside player options

    In cases where you need to manage users in your DUCKSIDE server, use the players category in the admin panel. This is where you can assign admin roles, takeaway admin roles, ban and unban people. It’s essentially meant to be used for moderation purposes, along with allowing trusted users to become an admin. Let’s summarize what you can do with the players category:

    • Assign admin
    • Remove admin
    • Ban players
    • Unban players

    Item Options

    DUCKSIDE item options

    If you’re wanting to spawn items or change the starter kit for new players, the items category is what you want! In this area, you’ll be able to summon anything from weapons to clothes. Additionally, you can add new items to the starter kit that every player receives upon joining the DUCKSIDE server. This comes in handy when you’re hosting events or wanting to change up player progression. Check out the following actions you can do in this category:

    • Spawn items
    • Customize the starter kit

    Note: Do not remove the Starter Backpack, as that will disable the player’s inventory.

    Building Options

    DUCKSIDE Building options

    There can be tons of buildings on your DUCKSIDE server that need to be removed, for whatever reason you may want. The buildings category in the admin panel will help you do that. Its main purpose is to view and remove base idols so the building will begin decaying. This comes in handy when you want to remove a banned player’s base or something similar.

    • View all player base idols
    • Remove base idols

    Message Options

    DUCKSIDE Messenge options

    If you want to host an event, send announcements, or anything else – consider using the messages category in the admin panel. This area provides you the ability to create a Message Of The Day (MOTD) and send unique messages at a specific interval. This can be used to advertise your Discord community, donations, rules, or anything else. The MOTD is a one-time message that will appear for everyone, best used for single / time sensitive announcements.

    • Send a MOTD one-time
    • Send recurring messages at specific times

    Gameplay Options

    DUCKSIDE gameplay options

    There are many situations where the gameplay of your DUCKSIDE server needs to be customized. Fortunately, you have the gameplay category to accomplish this task. It provides you with various settings for NPCs, recycler speed, base decay speed, and so much more. You’re even able to change the respawn time of resources and loot boxes. Review everything you can do below:

    • Recycler multiplier
    • Recycler speed
    • Base decay multiplier
    • Crafting speed
    • Loot box multiplier
    • Loot box respawn time
    • Resource multiplier
    • Resource respawn time
    • Furnace multiplier
    • Furnace speed
    • Minimum respawn time based on player count
    • Maximum respawn time based on player count

    Wipe Options

    DUCKSIDE wipe options

    Similar to Rust, having server-wide wipes plays an important role in maintaining your DUCKSIDE community. These wipes completely remove bases and reset player inventories. This helps create a well balanced server for everyone to enjoy. You’re able to do this for the entire map and even blueprints. It all depends on what you specifically want to achieve for your own server. Keep in mind that there are specific settings for this category in your admin panel that impact the interval of server wipes.

    DUCKSIDE Admin Features

    Having the ability to control and manage your DUCKSIDE server in-game is extremely important for any owner. By becoming an admin, you’re able to access an exclusive panel with various options. From general settings to server wipes, you have control over everything! Whether you want to customize the password or change the starter kit of items, the admin panel is what you want. Keep this in mind when you’re administrating your own DUCKSIDE server, use F10 to open the admin panel.
