GETTING STARTED

Up and running in 4 steps

Add the bot — channels are created automatically. Connect RCON — all 91 commands go live. That is all it takes.

🤖
STEP 01

Add Thanatos to Your Server

Click Add to Discord on the homepage or in the Pricing page. Authorize all permissions and select your server — Thanatos needs Manage Channels, Manage Roles, and Send Messages to work properly.

✅ Automatic setup on invite

The moment Thanatos joins your server, it automatically creates all essential channels and categories — no command needed. You will also receive a welcome DM with the next steps.

⚙️ Channels not created? Run /setup

If the automatic setup did not complete (e.g. missing permissions at invite time), type /setup in any text channel. A short wizard will ask for your server name and recreate everything in seconds.

STEP 02

Connect to Your Rust Server (RCON)

RCON is what connects Thanatos to your live game. Without it, kill feeds, shop deliveries, events, and in-game messages will not work. The connection takes less than a minute.

1

Enable RCON on your server

Go to your server provider panel → Settings → RCON. Enable it and note the IP address, port (usually 28016), and password.

2

Open the admin dashboard

In your Discord, type /admin to open the interactive admin panel.

3

Go to Server → RCON Config

A form appears. Enter your Host (IP address), Port, and Password.

4

Click Save

Thanatos tests the connection immediately. ✅ Connected = you are done. If not, verify that RCON is enabled and the firewall allows the RCON port.

14-day free trial starts automatically

Configuring RCON activates your 14-day free trial. All 91 commands go live from that moment. No credit card required.

After the trial, the Kill Feed and Event Feed stay free forever.

STEP 03

Find All Commands in Your Server

You do not need to remember any commands. Two dedicated reference channels are created automatically — always up to date, always visible.

📋 #player-commands

Every player command: economy, shop, casino, clan, genetics, home teleport, bounties, challenges, polls, giveaways, and more. Pinned and read-only.

🔒 #admin-commands

Every admin command: events, economy admin, zone manager, prison, VIP, killfeed, moderation, analytics, and more. Visible to staff only.

Add more channels: Use /channel_hub to assign or auto-create optional channels (shop, casino, bank, clans, activity feed, raid alerts, etc.) — each channel is one click.

🎫
STEP 04

Need Help? Open a Ticket

The #thanatos-support channel was created automatically in your server. It is visible to staff only and connects directly to the Thanatos support team.

🎫

Go to #thanatos-support in your server

The channel is in the 🛟 SUPPORT & HELP category, visible to admins and staff only.

📝

Click "Open a Ticket"

A short form opens. Describe your issue, the command involved, and what you expected to happen.

We respond as fast as possible

Your ticket lands in the Thanatos Support Guild instantly. A real person reads it — no auto-close, no bots. We stay with you until the problem is fully resolved.

Our commitment: We answer every question and work with you until the problem is fully resolved. RCON issues, broken commands, economy bugs, event configuration — whatever it is, we fix it together.

Ready? Add Thanatos to your server and start your 14-day free trial.
