Description
Observer Island – Update 1.4b – Rust October 2024 update!
Observer Island is a 4K-sized custom map, featuring mountains, road/train bridges, custom train tunnels, custom monuments, arch rocks, custom gameplay features, a unique map layout, and manually sculpted cliff formations.
Latest 1.4 update makes Observer Island compatible with upcoming Rust World Update that is releasing in October 2024.
In a new Update 1.3, released in February 2024, we introduce two new monuments. One of them is located underground, and allows you to unload train wagons underground. In December Update 1.2, we introduce three new monuments, many changes to monuments balancing, bug fixes, requested QOL features and dozens of updates for plugins.
The goal of this map is to encompass all the elements of vanilla Rust while expanding upon them with new features, making map exploration more engaging. It also aims to refresh vanilla gameplay with new building locations, unique map layout, and various other enhancements, including some secrets.
We’ve dedicated time to experimenting with ideas frequently suggested by players for procedural maps. As you explore, you’ll notice custom caves, mountains, large forest areas, several underwater monuments, and arch rocks that allow you to build inside them, just like in the old, simpler days.
In addition to the new map features, lots of effort has gone into building custom monuments. While some are relatively simple, others are far more complicated. They might even lead to a well-hidden secret monument…

It’s totally up to you, Gravis was made in just 2 weeks, Observer Island has had a much longer and more in-depth development. I am sure you wouldn’t be disappointed if you purchased a copy.
-
-
How many prefabs does this map have?
-
55528 prefabs
-
-
in which folder i put the file “RandomRF.png”
thx
-
That goes in the harmony folder with the mods
-
-
I love the map and am having tremendous fun on it checking out all the detail and monuments. We have it running on our modded server with MANY events running constantly. If you want to check the map out from a modded point, take a look…
-
HI
I saw that the map has plugins for HarmonyMod, but if I use these plugins do they still work with Oxide? Or will I have problems?
Thank you -
hi we really like the map I was just wondering why you can’t ride the horses through the tunnels on the road
-
Good day.
I previously installed custom maps on my server, but there was only a .map file.
And there are many of them here. Can you tell me what files to copy there? -
Is this map up on a preview server prospective buyers can check out?

Hey sorry for the late reply, the best place to get in touch is via our Discord server https://discord.gg/knrJy5kBcv
You can use oxide and the included plugins at the same time, if you are also using the rustedit DLL you won’t need to use the CoreIO plugin -
I use Oxide and not Harmony. Does that make the Harmony plugins useless?
I would buy too. I don’t see anything on this site in the version history if bugs have already been fixed. I have already seen on public servers that there are bugs on the map, e.g. that the big train on a bridge does not fit through. Another reason that is still keeping me from buying it. -
I use Oxide too, but you won’t have any problems loading Harmony plugins, which is the official rust modding framework. Everything works well with both the Harmony and Oxide plugins.
I hope I was helpful -
Hey, great map! We and our community really like it! I just have one question and maybe a suggestion:
First: How exactly does this secret lab at O18 work? After the P8 bunker opened, the RF code at the and said 3032 (or 8032, the first digit is kinda cut off). However, neither of those codes worked to open the O18 lab. What did eventually work was the code 1234 – but only once. After one use, 1234 did not work anymore – the first two still didn’t.
Did we just miss something? Or is it a bug? And does the timer at the lab has something to do with all that? A small explanation would be great.Second: I would suggest to let NPCs spawn in those monuments. I don’t know whether or not this would be possible, but there is a ton of high value loot inside after all. And without any NPCs, it’s pretty easy to get – too easy in my opinion.
But other than that – great map, really! I will keep using it for many wipes in the future 👍
-
Oh, and i have another question (I would reply to my last post, but somehow it doesn’t work).
The P8 bunker opened 7 days before the wipe – wich is correct – but one day later it closed again. Is that intentional or can I prevent / fix this somehow? -
Do you plan on adding airfield by a chance?
-
If I buy the map and discover a few errors on the map myself, can I load the map into Rust Edit and fix it myself, or do I have to wait for an update?
-
what with these extra files TimedProgressionEvent RandomRF Core.I.O.Continued? Where do these all go?
-
They go in the Harmony Mods folder. FYI when I use them players can’t wake up.
-
-
ok do not place harmony mods in there trash and mess up carbon servers, map rating honestly its not worth the $99 maybe $30 just an average map
-
Hi
is the addition of the missing FP Monuments planed at some point? Would really like Airfield on the map.
Thanks in advance for the answer! -
why no airfield not even a small one?
-
passwords not working to edit the map
-
RailRoad station missing from your latest update…..
-
Will there be a port update related to the new behavior of the cargo ship?
-
all of the custom monuments are not working is there something special i have to fix them
-
Will you update the MOD to work with the new version of Harmony release May 2, 2024?
-
Hi,
I have this map and am about to use it but it needs the world 2.0 update, is there a new update for this please? all of the mountains are broken. -
Are you planning a world 2.0 update for this map, we bought this map before that update and now it not usable and you charge a lot for this map
Setup
Map FAQ – How do I host this .zip/.7z file I just purchased on my server?
• First, you want to unzip the file. You can do so by just double-clicking it to open, then drag the contents to the desired location (you may need to install an external unzipping software if you don’t already have one)
• Next you will find either a structure of folders or just the .map file itself (it’s the important one).
• Once the .map is uploaded to dropbox simply copy the share link attached to it.
• You will first start off by uploading the .map file to an online hosting provider, I’ll include dropbox since it’s easy to get started with.
• Once you’ve copied the link paste it into your server’s startup .bat (batch) file. (You can leave the worldsize/seed. Custom maps override proc gen parameters)
• Example “levelurl “https:// www dropbox dot com/s/sdfagbragae/testmapname.map?dl=1”
• Make SURE the dl=0 at the end is changed to dl=1 otherwise players won’t be able to join!
• Now just start your server and it’ll boot right up! Below I’ll attach a video that goes more in-depth on hosting custom maps vs proc gen maps since it’s a tad different
Additionally, here’s a great video that easily covers hosting a custom map for the first time if you need it! https://youtu.be/y9vNvOIPyVM
• Installation is not included with any products on the site, however, if needed we may assist if you reach out to our support.
• If the product contains a plugin file (.cs) it’s advised to have it installed prior to booting your server with the map you purchased
Currently all products on Lone.Design will be contained within a zipped file which is the .7z or .zip that you see. I believe windows 10 and up can unzip on its own without 3rd party tools, but in that case, if you’re unfamiliar with zipped files here are 2 programs I recommend to easily unzip zipped files.

Observer Island takes custom maps to a whole new level. I like that it comes with detailed instructions, a community guide, and even has maps for one of the custom monuments. That level of detail and what is provided makes this purchase worth every penny.
Trent B. (verified owner) –
Players are going top LOVE This Map! Highly Recommended! Love the Custom Monuments and Puzzles!
Trent B. (verified owner) –
Great Map! I know our community will LOVE This! Great custom Monuments and Key Card Puzzles! Best Rust Plugin Sales Website! Highly Recommend!
Tango4Bravo (verified owner) –
Love the map! I also like the fact that it is still being worked on. They didn’t just make a map and then forget about it. The creators of the map even answered many of my questions personally. That is rare.
The only downside is the pricetag. I wish I had purchased it when it was on sale. Oh well. Still worth it!
Thanks for an AWESOME map guys!

There’s wholes in the terrain everywhere that you fall in, rivers and water is wacked, can see wholes at tunnel entrances and the cliffs look like smeared terrain. I would not recommend this map at its current price. If you’re going to charge 70 to 100 bucks for a map make it enjoyable and keep it updated. Worth maybe $20 in its current state.
