Hard Mode

Definitely the most fun I’ve had playing the game. The tech tree is so expensive to climb makes running all the monuments so much more worth it to actually acquire items to research for cheaper. Safe zones not being safe makes people not base their wipe around recycling at these places only. No map meaning you have to go and find the monuments and remember your way around, or notifications about cargo or oil means you have to physically see the heli go to oil or see the cargo ship / hear it to know it’s around or even Bradley for that matter. No team icons or team ability so partying relies on true coms. All around the way I imagine rust to be.

The pop remains low and I haven’t seen any popular community servers hosting a hardcore world. Let’s go people, hard mode!

Bunker isn't working?

After this latest update a bunker I've been using for a while now is messing up, Sorry I don't know the names of all the bunkers just how to build them but it's just a square foundation and then a raised triangle foundation and then you use the large roof piece to seal.

The Bunker opens no problem, The problem is it won't let me upgrade the raised triangle and on another base my entire core floor wouldn't upgrade and after I broke the wooden floor to open the Bunker it won't let me replace the wooden square foundation?

Two different servers same base and that's the problems so far since the update, Nothing at all is around the triangle that won't upgrade or anything like that. Is this bunker just done for now?

Ring Camera

It would be sick to have a ring camera on rust like it's a app on your phone and you can check if there is motion and has voice chat on it so you can warn at a person raiding you.

Xbox Series X|S Game Client Crash

The game currently crashes for some, about 60 seconds after launching it. A few on the RCE Discord have removed their Insider Program update, and that has fixed it for them. If anyone else is in the same boat, it might be worth a try.

Wipe day question!

Ok well happy wipe day everyone. This is maybe the 2nd time I hawked wipe day. I normally play a PVE server in the community group. I think wipe starts at 11? Right? How long for community servers before you can log on? I tried 3 back up severs besides my normal and none are ready. When can we spawn in? I work nights so if I ever want a boat I gotta jump in immediately and get very lucky. I'd like to know how long I need to stay up before I gotta go to bed ( Thursday is practically my Wednesday, sleep is necessary)

Zorp question

So I turned on my zorp at 8:30 this morning because the server bot was down all night ya boy has work at 8:30 in the morning and everyone likes to offline in my server even though I’m a solo so if I turn my zorp off and then turn it back on will it start the 24 hour timer over or will just reactivate my zone but stay on the same timer leaving it activated for only a few hours before it goes down I can’t seem to find any info on it

Rust questions

  1. Is there a way for them to hide how many people are in a server? I first joined this server about a week ago and there sometimes are a few people active when I join but sometimes when I look at the people active in game it always tells me no one. I know it's Halloween but I swear sometimes I hear random noises or something moving in the distance and I've heard what I swear to be mic pops once or twice. The only person I've seen is a random guy who logged off right outside my base but I haven't seen another person in the server actually running around. I'm staring to think my game I haunted lol.

  2. Are they planning to add cars soon? Horses are so loud with headphones on and I feel so valuable riding around. Plus, no matter what I do the horse I keep is always gone when I log back in.

  3. It seems like rocks and trees aren't respawning on the map. I travel around the entire island in order to find rocks and I see saplings of tree spawning after I cut down a forest but they never seem to grow fully. Is this a big or is the game just taking forever to reproduce resources? Barrels respawn quickly.

Any feed back would be appreciated. Thanks!

Struggling new player

Okay. First time playing Rust this week. It’s been trending in my feeds and it looked fun, and have had fun with survival games in the past. I’ve watched a few “starter videos” on YouTube and gave it a try.

Got on a small server. In the evenings it gets up to 16 people. I play in the morning though, around 3 people. I’ve ran into only 1 person while playing.

Found me a nice spot on the map, made a base, got some decent crafting materials, etc. Got around ~100 scrap or so but struggling to get any because I’m dying SO much from bears, wolfs and the cracked out zombie dudes. My bow or crossbow doesn’t do shit. I have basic armor on but I die in like 2 or 3 hits.

It would be one thing if I got raided or killed by a player but this is frustrating. Thinking maybe the game isn’t for me. I feel like I’m dying every 15 minutes just praying I’ll find a gun or something.

What am I doing wrong? 😅

Wired&Piped a PVP Arena on a PVE server

I helped in creating a PVP arena on a PVE server this wipe. Other players did the building etc, I just did most of the electrics and the industrial.

Videos, pictures and explanations are in the imgur link.

8k hrs on pc - > first impression of console after a week.

Bought a ps5 slim while I save for new computer and decided I'd give rust a whirl after playing for years on pc. I saw a Mr memio video where he played recently and looked like it's improved a lot so was interested to see what stood out as good/bad things about the game.

First I'll start with the Pros :

Smaller maps does bring back that old rust feel where roaming between monuments was easier or even just getting to launch site off spawn.

Building is intuitive. I mean the first 2x1 base took a little and was panicking as could hear shots in the distance but was able to build my main solo base with ease after.

Core of the game progression there, felt like my natural blue print progression worked well off looting launch and military tunnels

On launch it's nice as its "old launch" with the pipe going over the recycler, pity the parkour door isn't bugged like it's been on pc for years.

Shore boats, wild horses. Again an old taster of rust and the horse ridings smooth and best way to get around the map.

Performance - found the game to run smoothly with no lag. I think especially as more people play in ps5's that the servers could handle 200 pop

Cons - ((

crafting menu OK, I can find things knowing the game but unless I'm missing something not having a "favourites" page or something similar is a glaring mistake. The "facepunch" page should be this but it's random useless stuff you barely need to craft or not at all... who needs to craft a rock? garage door in with" lock" rather than other doors? Making the quick craft wheel customiseable would be better than the current primitive items , I'd rather put meds and ammo in slots over stone tools etc, even having like 10x tool cupboards to stack wood would be good, choosing amount of something to craft, like the way you can choose amount to split stacks would be good for ammo rather than what seems to be a single or a huge amount of crafting , the r3 pinning one thing to your screen to display what you have/need to craft an item seems absolutely pointless and a waste of a control.

Audio is a mess, no depth. I can be in military tunnels and it sounds like animals are walking next to me, it's a pity as its the one thing that the pc version gets perfectly right and I'm using the same headphones I used on pc which give perfect audio for cod warzone so a game issue.

Blueprints in barrells? So absolutely pointless especially in a game where it's annoying to drop them after. They stopped having them in barrells on pc years ago so an obvious quality of life improvement that makes me wonder what other easy fixable things have the devs missed

Pvp v scientists difficult? It's definitely a deep learning curve and takes a bit more defensive positioning to clear scientists as they beam. Once I got to SAR it was way easier but still tricky.

Pvp vs players hit and a lot of misses. It's funny fighting people as its definitely slower paced to pc and as someone who used SAR a lot on pc fond "beaming" a few shots off quickly easy enough. Pvp is more forgiving and possible to have longer fights which is nice.

The colour and lighting of the game feels off, the lighting in particular just feels dark

Mili tunnels lighting terrible and flashlights have terrible distance. Getting spawned behind problem, it was taken out of the pc game where scientists respawn while a player is in the tunnel. The main problem happens where scientists respawn timers all end up slightly off from each other if you're running it a lot and out the blue a scientist spawns on you and beams you in a second.

Hit boxes on in game barriers huge so shooting through fences or around tire piles, walls and other objects are terrible. It's frustrating seeing players/scientists and shots not hitting them because of it.

"too hot" punishing health instead of thirst. Going into desert in wolf clothing etc is supposed to dehydrate you but instead saps health, strangely being too cold does far less health damage than pc.

Picking resources up doesn't display your total amount of that resource in your inventory. So farming usually just displays a vague number based off recently collected in the brackets next to the amount you get per hit/pick

Overall the games on the right track, could do with a few more overhauls, I think if the core of the game improved then eventually things like bigger servers and better graphics for ps5 version would be great to see. At 40 pounds though I don't know if I could justify recommending it to friends unfortunately though I know if it was on sale i could

Looking forward to seeing how the development of the game goes and thanks for reading if you made it this far.

If you've any advice on rust console lemme know too

Christmas Lights

About a month ago, there was an update, and in the list of changes it said Christmas lights were added, now I can't find the lights anywhere. Are they in the game? Did something happen that they had to remove/cancel the addition of the lights?

I just started playing yesterday

This game is fawking solid!

I really like it. Maybe I found a good server but yesterday I downloaded the game.

I got to a double barrel shotgun. Shot some pigs and people that were naked.

All in all this game is sick.

I even bought a skin pack thing but don’t know how to use it.

My take on how to solve auto closing doors

This is my way of doing it, and i think this is the only way.

https://www.rustrician.io/?circuit=88596b501af55d5b42c0c6d91d143ef4

- extremly low power (2rW pr 25 doors)
- scalable, just add a new "branch" if needed
- easy to build and operate

I didnt care to put in all the buttons and all the door circuits

We usually play 4-8 man team, and we use one aux windmill/battery for all doors, lights, 9 electric furnaces(auto powered when needed) and turret-control. Then another windmill/battery for the sorting and autocrafting. Usually about 100-150 doors, depending on wipe

Feedback appriciated
I have not tried to use large batteries in the doorgroups, that should make it possible to run 50 doors in each branck, but i think that will fu** with max depth. i might test later on a biuld server, but this works like a charm

I have sort of found a nice way around the max depth of industrial storage adapters as well, i might share later

Solo raided a clan who took over sulfur quarry.

Me and my buddy hopped on a server we’d never been on before and we a fantastic start!

a couple days had gone by and one day i hopped on and we were raided by this guy who claimed to be “running the server” 😒

i found out he had lived in sulfur quarry and knew i had to avenge my offline raid.

i farmed up a base for me and my homie and we got to work for the next 3 days..yes 3 days and we got enough boom to raid him. problem is, we had a different schedule throughout our day so it was pretty hard.

But that didn’t stop me! i should also mention that the whole quarry was FULL of turrets.. so how did i get in?

well i saw that he had a base built with little to no turret cover, so i blew a stone wall and destroyed whatever turrets were there and quickly got to work. he also had another little base but this thing was absolutely stacked with turrets..but i noticed the batteries were just open.

i figured out it only takes 1 incendiary rocket to destroy a battery, so i shot one battery out, turrets went down, i shot the 2nd battery, turrets went out. all the turrets were out, i raided the rest of the base, got all of the loot and sealed his entire base with armor.

me and my buddy now run sulfur quarry with no problems whatsoever! he hasn’t been on the server since and neither of his little minions either. i’d say it was definitely worth it.

Ghosted Zerg who killed server pop

Hi all,

Been playing the same official server for the last four months and each wipe it’s the same Zerg/village who are constantly offlining teams as they’re on 24x7 and then saying they “own the server”.

Last weekend they offlined ny base and sent me clips of them in my base and talking trash of how easy it was to raid the base and that they “slammed me” etc

Myself and my team mates were gonna quit the wipe but I decided to try and ghost them and created a new PSN mirroring one of the team mates ID (changed a B to a D) in the name and it worked flawlessly! Took less than 30 minutes and I had gotten codes over message and took over the TC/Doors/gotten rid of bags and sealed their bunker incase they tried to raid back in whilst they were outside just shooting and reviving each other. Can honestly say it was one of the best experiences ever playing rust. Listening to these guys in party talking trash about me doing it and saying they’ll “wipe me” from the server whilst they’re frantically trying to get door codes back and just knowing it would be a nightmare for them to raid back into their base because all TCs were cleared and so were the turrets.

It’s been nearly a week now and only one person of the clan has been playing the server all the others look to have jumped to another server or skipped wipe.

Progress

This is what I love about Rust, I've been playing on and off the better part of 2 years now, I used to avoid full pop weeklies choosing low pop monthlys. I hopped on a full pop weekly on a Friday night. Base survived Friday and Saturday night, got to satchel in the tech tree from zero bps, and won the majority of my fights despite being a prim locked solo... did I mention I'm in a monument desert farming literal roadsigns for scrap... the grind is real. Never had a base survive Saturday night. Woot!
