How to change the time of day in Rust

Type env.time 12 in the server console to set the time to noon. Any hour from 0 to 24 works, like env.time 22 for night.

env.time

Sets the in-game time of day as a decimal hour from 0 to 24.

env.time <hour>

Examples

env.time 12

Set the time to noon.

env.time 22

Make it night.

Arguments

hourRequired: Time of day in hours, decimals allowed.

What it does

Changes the time immediately for everyone. 12 is noon, 0 is midnight and 18.5 is 6:30 pm. Pair with env.progresstime False to freeze it there.

The game's own description: Gets or sets the current in-game time of day as a decimal hour (0.0-24.0); writing a value immediately jumps the time to that point

Run it on your server

Type it in the server console or send it over RCON; admins can also use the F1 console in game. To keep a setting, run server.writecfg after changing it, or put it on the launch line as +name value.
