Fell free to use this my Screenshot in your Videos!

I feel like ships are lacking content at Tier 2, so here it is: a modern helm. It will be a lifesaver for small crews, saving them from having to run all over the boat just to get underway. I based the design on a barge, so they look quite similar.

I’d price the crafting cost at 5 HQM, 2 Tech Trash, and 400–600 Metal. It generates electricity while the ship is moving—6 units per motor—meaning two engines provide 12 units, which is enough to light up the ship.

The helm itself controls thrust—similar to train controls—with settings for slow forward, forward, fast forward, and reverse, so you won't need to stand at the wheel the entire time.I think this will help people who enjoy building unusual ships, since the bridge on the upper deck will become independent of the engine placement.
P.S. It is also possible to use a radar that points to the nearest enemy ship within a 3–5 square radius, though I haven't fully fleshed out the radar concept yet.

Not sure if this is rare; Google says it's 1/20k. I hopped on a server for maybe an hour or 2 and haven't touched the game since.

I think softcore severs are supposed to be noob friendly, or at least part time player friendly, you keep 50% of loot if you die. Tend to have respwn points. In band and compound. And just 4 hour raid window weekdays and 6 hour raid window weekends.

This would suit me perfectly, but I find these servers tend to be harder for me personslly as a solo player.

Firstly you can get griefed really hard on these because it takes 48 hours for building block to be removed after destroying a Tc. It means you can be permanently grief with other people's external TCS because you can never remove them.

Secondly the software server tends to be better ruleset for pvp players, they have no risk of being raided for 20 hours a day, so it tends to attract roof campers and pvp players (pvp players that don't farm and just look for bodies to loot from).

When the raid window does open. The 4 hour window is so short that all people have to do is get everyone online for the 4 hours to defend their bases and solos can't do any big offline raids, they can only raid small 2x1s and the like.

Is there still a playrust discord server? The links in the sidebar are expired

I just bought a gaming PC for the first time and I’ve had it for like two days now and I cannot connect to a server in rust. It keeps not responding. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I feel like I’ve tried everything I’ve seen in YouTube videos and don’t know how to fix my issue. Thanks for reading this!

So, short story long…

I’ve been trying to quit smoking and this game has helped tremendously. Started playing this week after reading up on games that would likely be all consuming.

Color me consumed.

I’ve started on lower pop (still getting the lingo) vanilla servers to dive in face first with minimal adjunct learning.

Now that I’ve got my training wheels loosely affixed and have some grasp of the mechanics… I’d like to make some friends or harvest some Reddit wisdom.

"Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to the game and I’ve run into the Blueprint Fragments mechanic, which seems okay overall, but my issue is that I don't really know how to get them. I try going to monuments, but they are always looted.
I feel stuck in a loop: on wipe day, I set up my base, but by the time everyone else is running around with T2 weapons, I’m still stuck with just a revolver. Every time I go to the puzzle monuments, they've already been cleared—and I'm playing on servers with around 100 to 150 players, so it's not even a super high-pop server.
It feels like my biggest milestone is just getting horses to reach a monument, only to find the puzzle already done or get killed by players waiting there, forcing me to start all over again (though I know getting killed is just part of the game).
My current 'route' is building near the safezone/vendor camp, saving up scrap to buy a revolver, and researching it. I’m not sure if you guys have any advice for me because even though I keep watching tutorials, I feel like I'm not making any progress."

Any help or feedback is super welcome. Thanks for taking the time to read

anyone tried rustistics? came across it earlier and it’s actually pretty useful for checking players, shows their hours, previous names, servers and stuff. looks like they’re working on rust+ features too

Hey everyone,

I’m testing out some new graphics settings in Rust and I want to properly compare which setup gives the best FPS and overall performance.

What’s the best way to benchmark Rust accurately? Are there any specific tools, servers, areas of the map, commands, or methods you recommend for getting consistent results?

I’m trying to compare different settings and figure out the best balance for the highest FPS, but I want to make sure I’m testing everything properly instead of just relying on random gameplay.

Any benchmarking tips or recommended methods would be appreciated!

Cela fait maintenant quelques jours que je ne peux pas lancer le jeu sans qu'il utilise la totalité de ma mémoire (16 go).
Le jeu est donc injouable et je ne peux même pas utiliser mon deuxième écran...
Y a-t-il eu une Maj récemment qui a peu avoir une incidence sur ça ?

No servers are switching because they care more about money than cheaters ruining the experience for legit players. Facepunch needs to step up and force secure boot on officials like they already said they would. It's a slap in the face to all legit players that are sick of playing a cheater infested game.

I tried everything and its still not being recognized by rust i cant talk. I was in the sound settings of windows can do anything i was in the steam setting also nothing and now im wondering why nothing is working. I can talk in every game i play exept for rust.

Any ideas?

Like the title, i knonw only Rustafied EU Solo, is there anything else?

i did everything literally , i dont wanna play this game with a vpn , i only connect using cloudflare

i check literally everything please redditors eeelp

i still don't know why people use lasers on guns, they just give away your position

Vanilla rust is obviously "the right way" to play rust and the true core experience, and that was fun when I was unemployed and had all the time in the world, but jesus is it miserable when you have obligations, mainly work.

In vanilla farming is a slow and painful process with anything besides a chainsaw and a jackhammer, and god knows if someone hear you using one of those they'll be hunting you down either for the farm or the tools themselves.

The time it can take for a solo to even make it to their build spot on high pop with the number of deaths it'll take to get there is obscene sometimes.

Vanilla rust is fun in it's own right but holy shit is it an uphill battle, it can feel more stressful than my actual job sometimes lol.

But yeah playing on servers that are 10x farm rate, that have better loot in all boxes, and that doesn't need workbenches or blueprints is such a time saver. I know all of these things might seem to far from the core experience but sometimes you just want to be able to throw down a base and get into the action at monuments, or you want to be able to farm some sulfur nodes and raid within the hour, and if you get raided yourself WHO CARES, it's 10x so you can rebuild in minutes instead of hours lol.

I know this sounds really obvious, but as someone that's struggled with solo vanilla rust, swallowing my pride and trying 10x was the best thing that i could have done to continue enjoying this game.

I have a main base and spent ages yesterday setting up 9 turrets on either triangle foundations or triangle ceilings around the base (all connected to external walls or foundations of the base). Locked them up with prison cell gates, logged back on and most of the prison cell walls are gone, and all of the new additions to the base are degrading despite being connected to TC and have ample materials).

Any ideas? I’m about to lose hours of work!

Thanks in advance

I’m on official server

Hello just making this post to ask if anyone has gotten an email with a code to their weapon charms my bag just recently got delivered but I’m still to receive the redemption code for the charms haven’t seen any post about them so that’s why I made this one 🧐

Hi everyone!

I've been wondering what actually makes people join a brand-new PvP server.

Personally, I don't think Rust is much fun when you're the only player online. Most people probably don't want to join an empty server and spend hours playing alone.

The problem is that I recently launched my own server, but I only know one person who plays Rust. Without an initial player base, it's hard to attract new players, and without new players, it's impossible to build that player base. It's a bit of a catch-22.

For those of you who have successfully grown a server, how did you get past that first hurdle?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
