OFFICIAL Rust (Discussion)

Cool, good to know.
Also, I don't find windows useless, but that's just my opinion. I like the idea of having a window or two in each corner of a structure so you can see who's outside and kill them if needed. If they kill you through the window, sucks to be them, as you'll respawn at your sleeping bag a few feet away, pick up your weapon, and kill them back, all without having to worry about them getting inside because you opened a door to get a clear shot.
Very true. Maybe I shouldn't have said useless. I do add windows to my observation level of each base I make. Just not int he main section of the base.
 
I've been desperately farming for metal walls and pillars... have you disabled them by any chance? Or they don't drop???...


Also, can you PLEASE remove sleepers, lock backpacks and increase their time before despawn until they fix the full game or PC freezes recently introduced? thx

I have been promoting rust at work, school, and to all of my friends. If you haven't heard, it's basically like Minecraft and Counterstrike made a baby called "Rust". The game is much more fun when there are more players. I bought a 500 slot server to accommodate for a large group. If you dont already have rust, it's only $20 on steam (Might be on sale for cheaper)


Starting with a fresh wipe today, I will be running events today and tomorrow. Everyone has a chance to win, whether you're new or experienced.


There will be no Admin BS on this server, so if you decide to stay and build, you can rest assured there will be no abuse by the mod. I hold a very high reputation in my gaming communities for well over 15 years. I run special events in other games and enjoy making it fun for everyone. Hope to see you on the server.

At the play page, press F1 and copy/paste - net.connect 64.120.56.195:28025
 
My coworkers have been on me for weeks to get this game. I've been watching it...think I might give it a go! I am not much for the resource gathering...but I do like building and shooting!

It's a lot of fun, especially when a new server just opens up, because you wont be competing against people who have a whole lot. I just put this server up less than an hour ago. You should give it a try.
 
Sorry to see the server didn't work out Chuck...but like I figured, too many changes and rules are not only hard to keep up with but just take away from what the game really is. I might start up playing again here soon.

Personally I really liked that there are 2-10 people online and a total of 20-25 people playing the game. The map is just not big enough to support 50-80 people. Since reset there has ALWAYS been active people playing.

Also, it's nice to see that there are no hackers here, exactly because its a small server and doesn't attract attention.
 
Chuck what is up with your server? LAGGING badly! Chat messages wont show, every other animal I kill does not harvest at all. I once was rubber banded across a field from were I started?
 
All of my buildings are gone. I don't get it? I logged in on my sleeping bag, and everything around me was missing. Chucks base is still there. Only way this can happen is if the admin does it or a hacker. :(

Talked to chuck and it seems it decayed

Lol, I can't believe that all that work I did decayed... and that quickly. 2 days?! If that's true, this game isn't worth my time.

Honestly, and I am not trolling, Minecraft with the Factions plugin is way better than Rust.
 
The server lagging is and chat not working were most likely caused by the broken mods. Rust++ was updated this morning and the game should be working properly now.

As for your building decaying..they decay constantly and will decay all together within 4 days unless you use a door. Then the timer resets. I personally havent seen you on in several days erocker. Though I know you play odd hours from me. Your base was really small so I figure decay took it out.

My server doesn't have any crazy mods any longer. When I did the wipe last week I reset everything to default values. The only change I made was installing Rust++ and drop party. Drop party to remove explosives (the ingredient) so people cannot craft explosive charges. Explosive charges drop very rarely in weapon chests. Something like 1/1000 and only one at a time. This makes C4 very rare and people less prone to use it all day and night long.

Airdrops are set to 10 people online right now. This is the other way to get C4.

I will not turn on locked backpacks. Thats a gay feature IMO. If you get killed your 'cloth' backpack shouldn't need to have a lock picked.

Sleepers is staying on as well. It adds a lot of tension to the game, makes you build better bases and doesn't allow you to combat log which was a major issue before. Everytime someone gets shot at they just log out of the game. Totally lame. Not to mention when people log out they take all their best stuff. This game is about gathering, building, and raiding. If you lose everything its only too easy to build back up and be back in action. In fact thats what I like most. I love building. It's only a matter of time before someone raids my base...im good knowing that.

If you don't enjoy playing the game the way my server runs then I'm sorry but I can't make everyone happy. I turn sleepers off and half the people ask me to turn it on. I turn it on and some ask me to turn it off. I can't seem to win so I decided I will run the server the way I enjoy playing.

TBH I'd prefer to not run any mods other than rust++ and keep the game as it was meant to be fromt he dev team but c4 is just too easy to craft loads of so I needed to limit it some.
 
I agree with your post. Sleepers have not been an issue since C4 is limited but time for me playing is at work and if I urgently have to do something I have a hard time finding a place to log out
 
How much C4 is in your server currently cause I have either been hacked or someone is duping or glitching in C4. I made a multi room base so that it would take large amounts of C4 to go through and logged in this morning and someone managed to use almost 10 C4 to take out ALL metal doors in my base to each of the rooms. I spent over 6 hours on that base



BTW Here are SS's of the dev build that will release soon. Updated night and day textures along with other textures updated and now items can degrade over time.

Brandonwh64, I'm sorry to say but I and my friends broke into ur house during the night (UK time). I would normally not post that I was the one that targeted you, but I knew where your house was. I'm just posting this to clarify that not a single C4 was used, also to dismiss any thoughts of hacker attack because I believe hacker attacks is the only thing that will put you off this game, which would be sad since nothing like that happened. FYI, we were 3 people and used around 45 grenades, of which around 10 where made by resources we looted gradually from inside your house. Ofc we didn't expect from such a house to have loot worthy of 45 grenades, we just did it for "fun". Also, FYI, when metal doors are next to each other you can throw 10-12 grenades in the common corner and BOTH doors will break at the same rate, meaning we used 10 grenades for your outside door, destroyed your stairs so we place new ones to place the new stairs so we can target both doors upstairs at the same time, broke both doors with 11-12 grenades, and again 11-12 grenades for the next 2 side-by-side, and again 11-12 for the last door.

Also, we (3 ppl) currently possess enough gunpowder for around 100+ grenades. Vedrix said he used around 140 grenades on our wall one day but it didn't break cause it was bugged (gona take his word that he used that much) and also our house next to the rad town was raided and around 4 walls and 3 doors were broken, so that's more resources than we used on your house and we didn't raid ourselves either, it was someone else.

Again, I am writing this only to put off the though that hackers raided you, because that's where the game sucks.

PS: If you are going to build a 2x3 block house with 2 floors, you'd better hide it cause that's rly easy to break in for ppl playing a lot and gathering a lot of resources. You were in the middle of a field, try hiding in some mountain between rocks next time, and try not to get followed on your way back home. Basics.

lol so what's the point of this game again? if you actually need to go to work or go to sleep and someone can just come by and destroy everything you built then isn't the "game" self defeating?

Well thanks for the justification of letting me know. I did not know grenades would do that to walls since I had tried them on regular wood doors and houses without much luck. Its really sad though.
 
That's why I'm not going to play this game, people are dicks in this day and age.

Well, Chuck's server started out cool. A lot of friendly people only concerned with building up and helping others. Then the TG guys joined and that all went to hell. They started killing folks on sight and raiding, then the population exploded and there was only a small group of us that were still friendly.
Pile that on top of decay and the fact that some of us can't log on everyday, and the game loses its luster after a couple of days. If I had the ability to log in every single day, it could be a lot of fun, but as it is now, I'm lucky to have a few hours a week to game. That would be enough time for me to gather enough resources to build a base and actually build it. The problem is, next time I log in, it'll be gone due to either raiders or decay. Pointless and very, very frustrating.
 
That's why you usually don't play the game alone, you team up with 2-3 people at least so that your building gets bigger much faster and there is usually someone online. Also, who are the TG guys and what does TG stand for?

TG = Tounging Guys or Top Gays
 
TG stands for "The Guardians" which is a gaming guild that has been around for like 15 years. It's a fairly large guild with only around 12 memebers playing rust. Out of those 12 only about 4-5 play on my server right now.

TG are the guys that Kaynar and friends raided one of their members small bases by rad town, and then built their base over top of it. Then TG built another base across the street.

Kaynar...I take it you run with uN and that other dude?

Anyways Brandon, to answer your question c4 is pretty rare but if you loot enough chests you will eventually find some. It spawns in military weapons chests at a rate of 1/1000. This makes it rare enough that people won't want to waste it all the time.

Grenades can take down walls and doors but it takes a lot of them and tbh its not usually worth raiding with as the cost to make enough grenades to raid a decent sized base usually doesn't pay off by the loot you find in someones base. Then again sometimes it does.


The thing is I know it gets frustrating when you spend a lot of time gathering and building your base just to lose it all to a raider but that is part of the game design. It's to be expected. Like kaynar said you have to build your base in a location that is out of the way. Hell you can even build it out in the waste somewhere and then take trips to the main area of the map to gather then run back to your base. There are plenty of places to build on this HUGE map that will allow you to go undetected for a long time.

And build a base that makes it hard for raiders.
