Rust News:
Rust developer Facepunch Studios has canceled a small event that would have taken place at a coffee shop in San Francisco next week, citing "an IRL threat.".. Read more.
DRONE The Drone is a new player-controlled craftable deployable, operated from the Computer Station. Easily damaged from impacts. Can be picked up and deployed just about anywhere - but it doesn't have the best signal, so you'll need to control it using nearby Computer Station. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230301/rc_drone_02.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230301/rc_drone_01.jpg The Drone can be unlocked from the tier 2 workbench tech tree. RF DETONATED C4 C4 can now be remotely detonated via RF. Select the item and click enable RF, then set a frequency. An RF Broadcaster or detonator can then be set to the same frequency and as soon as the C4 detects the signal, BOOM. Please note that C4 deployed outside of your building privilege zone will decay after 24 hours. Also, anyone can pick it up (with a 5 second delay) so keep a look out when using it during raids. Use it to set traps in your own base or for controlled demolition of someone else's. There has never been a better time to bankrupt a clan! https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230301/RF_C4_01.jpg PTZ SECURITY CAMERA A new player-craftable CCTV Camera system can be used for real-time surveillance and security when paired with the Computer Station. This camera has pan, tilt, and zoom capability and must be placed on a ceiling. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230301/ptz_securitycam_01.jpg All cameras now require 3 power instead of 5. The PTZ camera can be unlocked from the workbench level 2 tech tree. PLAYER CONTROLLED AUTO TURRET Autoturrets can now be configured to be pairable with a Computer Station. While the autoturret is turned off, there is a new menu to set the ID which you can then add in your Computer Station. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230301/rc_auto_turret_01.jpg When connected to an autoturret from a Computer Station you will take control of it so you can look around and even shoot at things. However, the camera on the autoturrets don't have a great view of far away objects. The autoturret cannot be controlled whilst in peacekeeper mode. CCTV IN RUST+ Something that has constantly been requested in Rust+ is the ability to view cameras. I've tried a few different solutions to get that working but had nothing that worked good enough until recently. You'll now be able to add cameras from a paired server in Rust+ and view them from your phone! This is an alpha release of the feature. I'll be working on improvements over time but, if there are any issues found, it may be disabled or limited to preserve server stability. Server owners can control this feature using the 'camerarenderer' set of convars. Video Example Here The signal from your cameras has got to travel a long way to get to your phone so everything is low quality but you should be able to make out most things in the world. All of the new, controllable cameras can also be used from Rust+! You will need to make sure you have the very latest version of Rust+ from the App Store or Google Play. You wi...
The Rust Industrial update is here to make your bases run more smoothly than ever. The February 2023 Rust update brings dramatic changes to one of the best survival games on PC, introducing automation tools to help overhaul your Rust base building capabilities. Among the features on offer are ways to automate your storage sorting, automatic crafting, and a nice cosy furnace for those colder nights after a Rust wipe. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Rust water is getting more watery The Rust September update adds a brutal new mode to the survival game Steam Survival Fest sale discounts include two of the greats
INDUSTRIAL Bring new levels of efficiency and unlock new avenues for automation with this month's set of Industrial entities. With these new tools you can move items around your base as well as craft items automatically without you needing to lift a finger. Storage Adaptor The Storage Adaptor is the starting point for most of your Industrial plans - simply attach an adaptor to an existing storage entity to make that entity compatible with your Industrial systems. The adaptor does not require power. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230201/indst_storageadapter_01.jpg Some entities have more than one slot that a storage adaptor can be attached to for ease of placement. Typically the storage adaptor can use all inventory slots on it's attached storage for input/output, although there are some exceptions: When attached to a furnace the Input will insert items into the Fuel/Inputs item slots while the output will remove items from the output slots When attached to a locker the storage adaptor will only access one partition, to access all partitions you'll need to place three storage adaptors https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230201/indst_storageadapter_02.jpg The storage adaptor is compatible with: Tool Cupboard Large Wooden Box Small Wooden Box Small Furnace Large Furnace Refinery Electric Furnace Locker Fridge Drop box Vending Machine Industrial Conveyor The Conveyor is responsible for moving items from one entity to another, generally via Storage Adaptors. Once powered and turned on the conveyor will look for items in containers connected to its inputs and then divide those items amongst its outputs. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230202/indst_conveyor_01.jpg By default a Conveyor will move any item it can find, but you can also assign a filter to have more precise control over exactly what items you're moving. Each Conveyor's filter can have up to 12 items or categories (resources/components/clothing/etc). When a filter is assigned the Conveyor will only transfer items that pass those conditions. You can also assign values to each item in a filter to control quantities, by setting the Maximum amount (don't send resources if the target container has over X of that resource already) and Minimum amount (only send resources in a minimum batch of X size). You'll also find a Filter Pass and Filter Fail electrical passthrough, these will activate based on the current state of the conveyor allowing you to control other parts of the Industrial network based on what items are being moved around. Pipe Tool The Pipe Tool is how you connect industrial entities - if you've used the Wire or Hose tool before you'll be right at home. Pipes come in 4 colours to help identify what's going where. Same distance rules apply here except that the anchor points need to be a small distance apart from one another and that pipes cannot go through building blocks or Vending Machines. They can go through deployables like doors. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/202302...
Someone must have sarcastically asked the developers of survival game Rust if "water was wet" at some point, and the answer seems to have been, "not wet enough!" Rust water is going to get wetter, in other words - although not in time for the next patch, which arrives in the main game on February 2. That update will, however, include a host of additional changes to some of the new industrial management elements that have appeared on the test servers. Read the rest of the story...

RUST GLOSSARY Our friends at Corrosion Hour have done quite a lot of guides in the past but this Rust Glossary is good if you're trying to be a cool dad in front of the kids. https://files.facepunch.com/errn/1b0911b1/glossary.png "To bridge the language gap between veteran players and those spawning in for the first time, we have compiled the RUST glossary of terms and phrases to lift the veil, so to speak." It's basically a decoder for all things Rust slang. Goes through abbreviations and callouts one would need to be in the know. Even if you are a Rust veteran it's rather amusing to go through some of these and see how we've evolved over the years. Check it out!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! From everyone at Facepunch, we'd all like to wish you a Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! The Christmas Event is once again live! If you haven't been around for this before, here's what you can expect: Every once in a while you will hear the sound of jingle bells. Run outside and look for a gift! Two gifts are spawned per player, in a radius of about 40m from where you are standing. Run up and bash it open to receive your Christmas presents. They come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. If you have enough small presents stashed, you can "trade up" to a medium or large. The contents of each present vary, but you'll find a mix of resources, weapons, and candy. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20201218/xmas2020_giftboxes.jpg Once again, you will be able to find Santa hats and reindeer antlers, both of which can be worn and provide a decent amount of protection. There’s also a lickable candy cane club, and two types of stockings. If you hang a stocking inside your base when the jingle bells ring the stocking will fill up with loot. The larger stocking has a higher chance for better items and both last around 5-10 refills. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20201218/xmas2020_santasleigh.jpg The advent calendar is a craftable deployable available to everyone during the Christmas event. Once placed you can claim an in-game surprise once every in-real-life day. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20211215/xmas_adventcalendar.jpg The Christmas event ends on January 5th @ 19:00GMT Have fun! Gingerbread / Cake Mines Run, run fast as you can, the gingerbread men are coming! Gingerbread houses have mysteriously started appearing throughout the world, leading to an underground dungeon, smelling a little like grandma's baking, but be careful, it's not going to be a cakewalk if you enter! https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20221208/xmasmines_entrance_01.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20221216/caketunnels_01.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20221216/caketunnels_02.jpg Server owners can adjust the portal count using the xmasdungeon.xmaspopulation convar.

RUST 9TH BIRTHDAY Rust turns 9 this month, that's 9 years of weekly and monthly updates. We’ll celebrate for one day only on 11th December with in-game birthday cake and hats. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20221116/rust_bday09_2022_poster_1080p.jpg In the January end of years blog, we'll talk more about how 2022 has gone, what we've achieved and what we learned as well as our upcoming plans. MODULAR CAR CODE LOCKS Car keys have been removed from the game and replaced with code locks, which should be a lot more useful. These can be added at a vehicle lift in the same way key locks were added, and for the same price (75 metal fragments). https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20221201/modularvehicle_codelock_01.jpg Features: Add, change, or remove code locks from a car at any vehicle lift. Code locks prevent mounting the vehicle - except for taxi modules - and also prevent access to storage. Players in a taxi module cannot swap seats to any other type of module. To capture a car with code locks, you can reduce the health of a seating module to 20% or less, which will enable an option to break the lock. Alternatively, if you can push the car to a vehicle lift, a new code can be set there. Note that locked cars cannot be pushed in safe zones. A mounted player can flip the Central Locking switch in a cockpit module to unlock all doors, temporarily disabling code access. Code locks on the exterior of the car will light up green instead of red. If all players in cockpit modules dismount, the central locking is automatically re-engaged. After entering the correct code, players are automatically whitelisted, and won't need to enter the code again.

Memeio been living up to his name this month. I present to you: cRust He made it in 7 days ..allegedly It's better than Rust ..allegedly 1 person at PAX enjoyed it ..allegedly Absolutely no copyright infringements ..maybe WHENS CAPYBARAS?? CREATOR SPOTLIGHT This month we have your resident building inspector, Dust! "Yo! My name's Dust, I'm a Rust YouTuber with a focus on base build videos, but also high quality cinematics and full length gameplay movies! My friend convinced me to download Rust in 2018 and I’ve barely seen a blade of grass since. What really hooked me was watching awesome content by Evil Wurst, Blooprint, Tesla, Frost, aloneintokyo and a ton of other insanely talented creators. I started YouTube pretty recently and things quickly took off. Even though I started as a build channel, there’s been a ton of demand for more movies so I’m working on putting out more action packed wipe content! Stay tuned! On a real note, my favorite part about this whole journey has been the friendships that I’ve made along the way. Rust is a super unique game where you’ll end up spending hundreds or thousands of hours with people, so you’ll tend to build some really strong and genuine friendships. The creator community in Rust is also super collaborative and filled with some awesome people." He's gotten pretty good with those cinematics! PAX COSPLAY Camomo sent us in some awesome cosplay pics from PAX AUS last month! Think one of these guys was in Memeio's cRust video :) https://files.facepunch.com/errn/1b1511b1/IMG_2702.jpg...
