Overview

RustHelm is a Rust game server built around a comprehensive political simulation. Every system — from the economy to combat tracking — feeds into a living governance model where players compete for power, influence laws, manage public funds, and shape the server’s identity across wipes.

The server runs 39 custom plugins that interlock to create emergent gameplay. A single player’s actions ripple through tax collection, social rank scoring, threat assessment, bounty placement, and political standing.
