Plugin instructions

Copy Paste 4.2.8

Copy Paste captures and restores Rust structures. It has no required plugin dependency and runs on Oxide. Grant only the needed permissions: copypaste.copy, copypaste.list, copypaste.paste, copypaste.pasteback, and copypaste.undo.

Configuration

Copy Options controls proximity traversal (Check radius from each entity... and Default radius...), shared entity data (Share...), and trees/resources (Tree...). A wider radius or per-entity traversal can copy far more entities than expected.
Paste Options controls authorization, deployables, inventories, vending machines, stability, entity ownership, and DLC content. Restoring inventories, authorization, ownership, or vending data has gameplay and security consequences; verify the destination and operator permissions.
The skin mode accepts only 0–4 as stated in the source. Specified Skins... accepts numeric skin IDs or redirected item shortnames and is used by allow/block modes 3 and 4.
The paste, copy, and undo batch sizes trade completion speed against per-frame server impact. The pinned source does not reject zero or negative values, so retain the defaults unless behavior has been tested. Prevent These Prefabs From Spawning is a list of exact prefab paths.
Enable data saving feature persists copies. Disabling it changes persistence behavior; Copy Paste data files are not part of this configuration bundle.

Target file: oxide/config/CopyPaste.json. Command-line options can override some defaults for an individual operation.
