📖 Documentation

Everything you need to know about running Panda Rock on your server.

📋 Table of Contents

🚀 Getting Started

Getting Panda Rock on your server takes about 5 minutes:

  1. Invite the bot — click the "Add to Discord" button on the home page.
  2. Run /setup — this creates all the channels, roles, and connects to your G-Portal server.
  3. Link your name — every player runs /panda linkname rust_name:YourGamertag to connect their Discord account to their Rust name.
  4. Play! — events fire automatically, kills are tracked, and coins start rolling in.

The Setup Wizard

When you run /setup, you'll see a dashboard with buttons for each step:

  1. Auto-Create Channels — creates all Panda Rock channels and roles in one click (or skip if you prefer to pick existing channels)
  2. Pick Channels — manually assign existing channels for events, kill feed, bounty board, etc.
  3. G-Portal — connect your G-Portal account for RCON and kill log reading
  4. Roles — set VIP, Teleport, and Panda Verified roles
  5. Arena — set Wolf Hunt and PvP Arena locations (done in-game)
  6. Events — enable/disable specific auto events
  7. Schedule — set how often events fire

💬 Emote Binds

Emote binds let players type a specific phrase in Rust's in-game chat to trigger an action — no Discord needed.

How it works:

  1. An admin configures a bind: phrase → action (e.g. "take me home" → teleport to saved home)
  2. A player types the exact phrase in Rust's in-game chat
  3. The bot detects it via the G-Portal log reader and executes the action

Common uses:

Binds are configured by admins via /admin bind or the web dashboard.

❓ FAQ

My name isn't linking — what's wrong?

Your Rust gamertag must be typed exactly as it appears in-game, including capitals and spaces. If you changed your gamertag recently, re-link with the new one.

I bought something from the shop but didn't get it

You must be online in Rust when you buy. Items deliver via RCON — check /panda prizes to see your pending queue. Items deliver automatically within 2 minutes of being online.

Events aren't firing

Make sure an event channel is configured in the setup wizard. Also check that RCON is connected with /admin status. Events need RCON to spawn entities and give rewards.

The bot can't connect to G-Portal

Double-check your G-Portal email and password. If you recently changed your password, re-run the G-Portal step in /setup. The bot uses exponential backoff after failed auth — it'll retry automatically.

How do I upgrade my tier?

Visit pandarock.tip4serv.com, log in with Discord, and buy Pro or Enterprise. Your server upgrades automatically within seconds — no codes or Guild IDs needed.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, cancel anytime through Tip4Serv. You keep access until the end of your billing period. See our Terms & Refund Policy for details.
