Automatic watchers
Map markers
Cargo Ship, Patrol Heli, Chinook, Locked Crate, Convoy, Vendor, Airdrop, Oil Rig events appear and disappear from the timeline as they appear and disappear from the map.
The relay normalises every map-marker change on the Rust+ stream into an event and writes it to your timeline. You see:
| Marker | Treated as |
|---|---|
| Cargo Ship | Cargo event chain (appeared / moved / docked / left harbour / left map) |
| Patrol Heli | Heli event chain |
| Chinook (CH47) | Chinook event chain → branches into Oil Rig crate trigger when hovering |
| Crate (locked) | Locked-crate countdown |
| Convoy | Convoy event (presence + last grid) |
| Travelling Vendor | Vendor event |
| Airdrop | Airdrop event |
| Off-map shop | Deep Sea Merchant precursor |
Each event surfaces:
- In-game team chat — configurable templates (see Settings → Bot messages).
- Dashboard timeline — full history per wipe.
- Discord channel — if you have an events channel wired up (see channel routing).
- Mobile push — if you have Expo push registered.
Disabling
Each event family has its own toggle in Settings → Events. Useful if e.g. you only care about heli/cargo and not vendor/airdrop.
Custom templates
The exact wording of each event ping is editable from the Bot messages admin tab. See Admin endpoints and the store/messages row in bot-content.ts.
