server ConVars

Every variable and command in the server namespace that a Rust dedicated server lists, 290 in all, with the help text it printed and the value we read. How to set them is on the ConVar overview.

Recorded on Rust build 25582902, September 28, 2026. Values are what that server returned, which is not always the default.
