Watchers & Kill Feed System

AtomicBot includes a powerful suite of automated real-time server watchers that monitor world events, spawns, kills, and global activities — pushing announcements straight into Discord the moment they happen. Each watcher is fully configurable and designed specifically for Rust Console Edition’s limitations, ensuring fast, accurate, and stylish alerts.

Kill Feed System

The Kill Feed watcher analyzes every death event that occurs on the server and posts a stylized, comedic, or dramatic message directly to your Kill Feed, PvP Feed, or NPC Slaughter channels depending on the type of kill.

  • Automatically categorizes kills (PvP, NPC, Environment)
  • Hundreds of unique, funny kill lines
  • No weapon detection needed — AtomicBot works with any attack source
  • Constantly growing library of kill messages (you can request new ones anytime)
  • Full Discord embed styling for clean, readable feeds

Sample Kill Feed Messages:

💀 Kill Feed
ICE-sumth1n-ep1c was somehow caught lacking near a bear (Bear)

🔥 NPC Slaughter
ICE-sumth1n-ep1c reminded Scientist that bullets are faster than science

⚔️ PvP Feed
TLR Smoke forgot how to Rust thanks to Player owned Mini Chopper  

New lines are added regularly and update instantly without bot restart.

Heli Watcher

The Heli Watcher alerts your server the moment a Patrol Helicopter enters the map. This helps players prepare, hide, gear up, or hunt it.

  • Triggers instantly when heli spawns
  • Live announcement posted to your Heli Watch channel
  • Future update will add “heli destroyed” + coordinates
  • 100% automatic — no admin interaction required

Bradley Watcher

The Bradley Watcher monitors the Launch Site Bradley APC and posts alerts to Discord when it respawns and when it is destroyed.

  • “Bradley is online” alerts upon respawn
  • “Bradley destroyed!” alerts with approximate coordinates
  • Does not show who killed it (not possible in RCE yet)
  • Helps players know when it’s safe to farm launch again

Additional tracking (damage logs, kill attribution) will be added when RCE exposes the data.

Cargo Ship Watcher

The Cargo Watcher posts an alert the instant the Cargo Ship enters the world. Perfect for groups racing to control the ship early.

  • Triggers as soon as Cargo spawns
  • Announces direction + warning message
  • Future update: crate drop monitoring

Supply Drop Watcher

Whenever a supply drop is incoming, the watcher announces it with an estimated location.

  • Lights up Discord with “Supply Drop incoming!”
  • Shows approximate drop coordinates
  • Alerts players to free loot falling from the sky

Perfect for players farming early wipe resources.

Channel Setup

Each watcher posts into a channel configured with the /setconfig channels ... command. You must configure these once per guild.

/setconfig channels killfeed <#channel>
/setconfig channels supplydrop <#channel>
/setconfig channels bradwatch <#channel>
/setconfig channels heliwatch <#channel>
/setconfig channels cargowatch <#channel>  

Recommended Channel Layout:

Watcher Suggested Channel Name
Kill Feed#🔫︱ᴋɪʟʟ-ꜰᴇᴇᴅ︱🔫
Supply Drop Feed#🎁︱ꜱᴜᴩᴩʟy-ᴅʀᴏᴩꜱ︱🎁
Bradley Watch#🪖︱ʙʀᴀᴅ-ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ︱🪖
Heli Watch#🚁︱ʜᴇʟɪ-ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ︱🚁
Cargo Watch#🚢︱ᴄᴀʀɢᴏ-ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ︱🚢

Troubleshooting

  • No alerts? → RCON connection dropped or misconfigured.
  • Wrong channels? → Re-run /setconfig channels ....
  • No kill feed? → Kill feed toggle is off in guild_servers.
  • Bradley not posting killer? → RCE does not expose precise killer data.
  • Multiple alerts? → Player reconnect spam / RCE double-fire event (rare).
