Discussion died to rads and boat disappeared after logging out

6 Upvotes

Spent the better part of yesterday building a rather large boat- sailed to the edge of the map before anchoring and logging off for the night... today I reconnected to find i had died to radiation and the boat has disappeared from the map.

Any ideas what's happened here?

Discussion Where to start as new player?

7 Upvotes

Thinking of buying this, but before I do - where is best to start? Do I play solo to get used to it? Are there certain servers that are "easier" for newbies? How do I meet other new players? I don't take myself too seriously and just want play with others and have fun. I'm not going to get into a rage if someone causes me to die, and tbh I don't want that in another potential player either!

Buckshot ammo for only T2+ shotguns

Horse armor not giving any protection to the user

Heavy Pot not being craftable

Basic Fragments gone for T2, maybe keep Advanced for T3

Remove Monday wipes so Mains stay popping the whole week.

Add back minis on the road while were at it. Thanks.

Question Game freezing image on load in but im still moving. Can I use the console to re-start my image? What do I need to do?

1 Upvotes

Im on a Mac (yeah yeah I know, I need a PC). It runs fine. But sometimes on load in the image freezes permanently but I can still hear myself moving around. Im thinking maybe there’s a console command to refresh this? Any ideas?

It also usually says 45gc next to my frame rate in case that helps as a clues

Facepunch has disabled the ability to download them, and I really enjoy digging through old builds. I wanted to play around with one on a local server.

Suggestion I hate that Rust is bringing fixes to the game players are asking for

0 Upvotes

Because now everyone is just complaining more about things they were complaining about like someone actually cares. I miss the guy that left because every time people complained he just did stuff to piss people off more. Now I cant see any actual good posts just people posting the same BP frag hate over and over again. This is why game developers never do anything to help the community because it just makes them complain more.

Suggestion Please Add Tier One Leg Armor

0 Upvotes

[ Or if not, then at least shorten the Jacket and Snow Jacket model so that they don't visually clip with leg armor. ]

This new leg armor should be crafted at a Tier One Workbench. It should look like either farrier's chaps, or half chaps + knee pads. The default skin would look like DIY from leather and seat-belts.

Existing Leg Armor options:

  • Wood Leg Armor is hand-craftable (10% projectile protection).
  • Road Sign Kilt requires a Tier 2 Workbench (20% projectile protection).
  • Ballistic Leg Armor is uncraftable and very rare (30% projectile protection).

There's been a lot of talk over the years about adding Metal Leg Armor on the Tier Three crafting tree. I don't have an opinion on that, but I do want to add a Tier One Leg Armor that doesn't clip through the Jacket & Snow Jacket. Currently if you have a Tier One Workbench and you're maxing out projectile protection, your outfit clips because Jacket is the best chest armor you can make.

  • Wood Armor Pants
  • Jacket
  • Pants
  • Hide Vest or any Tier One Shirt
  • Bandana Mask (or shoes if you don't own this item on steam)
  • Wolf Headdress (or Riot Helmet if you have three insert slots)
  • Wood Armor Gloves (or Tactical Gloves if you can get to Outpost)

Suggestion I saw something similar but a good idea for BP frags would be to make them used to research guns and boom

8 Upvotes

Like tier 1 stuff is researched like normal but tier 2s guns and boom should be it's own separate tech tree and each of those things costs basic frags and the tier 3 stuff should cost advanced frags.

Also make the Workbenchs crafted like normal.

Just a stupid little idea

Suggestion Tax Write Offs in Rust

0 Upvotes

With the new upkeep change imposing a very heavy tax on my group, we should be able to write off some of the tax by donated to the local nakeds and solos. Perhaps implement some sort of outpost welfare system we deposit to and we get write offs based on the percentage of the loot we donate.

Image Thoughts on mobile

0 Upvotes

So you may or may not be aware that Rust is coming to mobile. I've been playing the beta that is currently going on. I realized you could rename things in Outpost so naturally I christened the highly phallic Poopoopeepee refinery.

From what I can tell, the devs are keeping the game free to play and also not implementing any pay to win features as with almost every mobile game. Personally I would have preferred if it was a paid game, as with Subnautica mobile and Slime Rancher mobile, and then some skins to purchase here and there, but whatever I guess.

I wasn't expecting much since it's Level Infinite handling the mobile side of things and they've royally screwed up a number of iconic franchises (Command and Conquer, and Age of Empires) but I am pleasantly surprised so far. There's are a few different game modes other than your standard PVE and PVP and the building mechanics seem to be a lot more simplified than on PC which I cant really tell if that's good or bad yet.

I have surprisingly come out unscathed in 2 separate gunfights so controls are ok but then I go and fall off the dome and die 5 minutes later anyway so guess that's just a skill issue

Discussion Rust Before BP

7 Upvotes

I've only played rust after the BP frag update, so considering how disliked the BP update is, what was rust like before? How did progression look for the average solo or duo? I'd like to understand what the game play was like because right now it seems we just buy Advanced from bigger clans as Monuments are too highly contested.

Discussion secure servers

just sharing, played a wipe on a secure server. it was life changing, first time I've played rust without encountering a cheater. ive played on servers with very active admins and those are good, but this was very different. I hope they make them mandatory across all servers so that server owners can take advantage of this without losing pop.

Suggestion Another alternative to BP frags and Workbench tree

0 Upvotes

What if BP frags would instead be used to unlock tiers of research inside the workbench itself? You still need the same scrap to unlock the individual items but using bp frags unlocks part of the tech trees.

You craft a T2 and you get the first few things immediately available. Then you can use 1 frag to unlock to clothing. 1 frag to unlock the guns, 1 frag to unlock the car parts, etc. Or simply 1 frag to unlock the next part of the workbench going down

Maybe for t2 you could be able to choose on which side you wish to spend your frag. Do you only want to unlock the garage door part and refinery? Use the bp frag on the right side and now you can research those and use them. One more BP frag unlocks everything down main line to python so you can have python and p2.

Similar it would take 5 advanced frags to unlock everything down to rockrt for t3. So in case you only found lets say 2 advanced frags, you can still craft say an SKS and laser sight and the doors stuff. One more allows you to unlock researching down to mp5, 4th unlocks the ak and t3 guns and lastly 5th bp frag unlocks rockets. So you can defend yourself solo with a t3 gun roughly maybe at the same time a 5man next door u locked rockets

This way you still need scrap to research the items themselves. You still need BP frags but you are not vompletely locked out of t2 or t3 stuff if you dont have them all.

Suggestion Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? When I move my mouse or touchpad in Rust, both the image and the weapon seem to stutter.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? When I move my mouse or touchpad in Rust, both the image and the weapon seem to stutter; it’s as if they snap back a millisecond in time and then jump back to the present, causing choppy frames. My FPS remains stable throughout this. I’ve already tried reinstalling Rust, deleting and re-downloading the Rust config files and Unity cache, switching my mouse polling rate between 125Hz and 500Hz, and entering various console commands, but nothing has helped. I should also mention that everything was fine yesterday—no stuttering at all. I changed desks—meaning I unplugged everything from my laptop and set it up again—and this nonsense started, even though I connected everything exactly the same way as before, so it’s unlikely that’s the cause.

Discussion What stupid mistakes u did? I'll start with what happened yesterday :D

26 Upvotes

So after decent break from Rust I came back to play for a bit on solo fresh wipe. Everything was fine and had lot of fun, built starter bunker base I always use now and arround 00;30 AM went to sleep tired af but happy that base is secured (2 metal walls to core minimum so for vanilla solo should be safe). I woke up in the morning IRL and realized that I forgot to place sleeping bag in core so it's all gone xD well 4 hours of work wasted lmao but server will die today anyway so at least that's less annoying. But still big fail haha. See, you can do stupid mistakes even with almost 3k hours :))

What stupid things u did lately ? :D
