About CHRONUS
CHRONUS is a custom Rust map set on a planet overrun by an intense jungle biome. Its ancient monuments draw on the Aliens saga, and across 5,000 m your players can build on monuments in the sky, at sea and on land.
The story of the Chroners
Long ago, a race called the Chroners was forced to abandon its home planet. Explorers and seeders of worlds, they found a planet with a primitive humanoid species. The two peoples mingled with a single goal: to defeat time, explore space and find the true creators. Nobody knows why both races became extinct, but in an ancient temple they left evidence of a third species.
Custom monuments and arenas
- Temple of Rebirth: the respawn room where every player's adventure begins.
- Chrons Temple: a run of tests and traps with a touch of Alien between players and its loot. Bring a rock, pickaxe or jackhammer to get back out.
- Bradley Arena: a great battle against Helldivers-style tanks.
- Mars Attacks: an arena with NPCs and loot, inspired by the film.
- Arena Dome: NPCs, loot, walls to cover your back and towers to shoot from above.
- Volcanic Research: a volcano with parkour, puzzles, loot and NPCs.
- Crater: resources, and zombies guarding them.
- Heli Tower: a public self-defence tower against patrol helicopters.
- Facehuggers and alien eggs from the Aliens saga.
Where to build
44.4% of the land is buildable, and 51 buildable rocks add natural base spots. Air platforms and power towers are construction areas, and Cuesta Verde is a residential construction area inspired by the film Poltergeist. Train stations come with waiting rooms, loot, NPCs and a secondary rail respawn, and there is an underwater train station as well. The map has 18 islands, including raid islands set aside for the Raidable Bases plugin.
Map data at a glance
75,029 prefabs and 90 monuments, 11 of them custom. You also get 5 caves, 5 lakes and 18 railroads, and the official monuments from Launch Site and Ferry Terminal to Jungle Ruins and the Ziggurat Temple. Map protection is handled by an included plugin, and you are free to edit the map. If you want players to respawn on the beaches instead, remove the Temple of Rebirth respawn points in RustEdit.
Installation
- Unzip the package.
- Host the .map where your server can download it by URL.
- Boot with +server.levelurl rather than server.seed and server.worldsize.
- A new map needs a map wipe, so plan it for wipe day.
The download opens as soon as checkout is done, and new versions go straight to your account. For help, use the contact page. For the thinking behind monuments like these, see our guide What Makes a Good Rust Monument.

-
v1.1.3 Chronus Map now has a companion plugin made specifically for
the map. Drop it into your server and the map plays the way it was designed to.No map wipe needed
You do not need to wipe the map or its terrain for this update. The map file is
the same: just add the plugin to your server and you are done.Fixes for RustEdit issues
This plugin also repairs some problems caused by the RustEdit map editor
itself, so the map behaves on your server the way it was built.What it does for your players
-
Smarter enemies. The NPCs of the map open doors, walk through them and come
after players instead of waiting behind a wall. Doors they open close again
on their own. -
Every room is alive. NPCs appear exactly where the map places them, guard
their spot and return to it after a fight. No more empty rooms. -
They move like people. NPCs duck under low ceilings and no longer pile up on
the same spot. -
A clean world. Bodies and backpacks of dead NPCs disappear after two minutes,
so the map never fills up with remains. -
Enemies come back. Dead NPCs return after 30 minutes, keeping every area
worth visiting again.
What it does for server owners
- Works out of the box. Install it and you are done.
-
Everything is adjustable from one tidy settings file: respawn times, how long
remains stay, how NPCs behave around doors, and more. - Dress the NPCs your way with Steam Workshop skins.
-
Tune the loot and resources of the underground areas: more, less, faster,
slower, or your own crate contents. By default nothing is changed. - Add extra NPC spawn points without touching the map.
-
A quiet console. Repeated, useless messages are hidden so you can see what
matters.
The plugin comes with a short guide that explains
how to install it and how to adjust each option -
