10/10. If you aren't using Oxide, you aren't really "hosting" a modern Rust server. It is stable, powerful, and essential.

One of the best things about Oxide is its low overhead. It doesn't bog down server FPS, even with dozens of scripts running, provided the scripts themselves are well-coded.

The biggest draw is the massive library of plugins available at uMod . Whether you want to add 5x gather rates, teleportation ( /tp ), or better anti-cheat tools, Oxide makes it plug-and-play.

Oxide is the gold standard for anyone running a Rust server. It provides the necessary environment to run plugins that transform the game from a "vanilla" experience into something unique.
