SLEEPING BAG LIMITS https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230530/sleepingbags_limit.jpg This month we’ve decided to limit the maximum number of respawn options to 15 per player. This is a big change and not one we make lightly, so we thought it would be a good idea to explain our thinking. While this is an inconvenience to certain playstyles, we believe adapting to this change will lead to a healthier and more interesting game. Back in October 2020 we revised the death screen, unintentionally making it trivial to manage a large number of bags. This led to situations where players could respawn rapidly and rejoin fights in ways that work against the goal of death being meaningful in Rust. Ultimately we want placing new respawn points to be an interesting decision rather than something done as often as possible. We explored alternatives such as adjusting the respawn radius on bags or grid based approaches. Unfortunately this was simple to bypass and too complicated to communicate to players. Increasing the cost of bags/beds wouldn’t have solved the issue as large groups could easily overcome any additional resource requirements. To help manage respawn options we have made them visible on the map while alive. We also added the ability to unclaim bags you aren't using anymore. There is a new toggle on the right side of the map (below the layer controls) to hide bags while alive. https://files.facepunch.com/Errn/1b0111b1/bags.jpg There are multiple ways to see how many bags/beds you have placed: a count on the icon as well as a notification after you place a bag/bed. https://files.facepunch.com/Errn/1b0111b1/limit.jpg To prevent malicious behavior (such as "gifting" bags to other players and filling up their quota) you will find a new “Bag Gifting” option in the options menu. This will allow you to limit who can assign a bag to you. The choices are: Anyone (default option) Team (teammates + friendly in contact system) Disabled (nobody allowed) https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20230530/options_sleepingbags_gifting.jpg Server owners can change the maximum bags per server with the convar "max_sleeping_bags". If you would like to disable it for your server, set it to "-1". We will keep an eye on this change over the coming months and make changes as required. BUILD UPGRADE EFFECT To say that our building upgrade effect was dated would be an understatement. I don't think it has been adjusted since its inception. I've taken some time to improve the effect, and bring it in to this decade. When you upgrade a building block, you will see it constructed piece by piece over the course of one second. Short demonstration here. Keep in mind that this is a client-only effect and the upgrade still happens immediately on the server. You can also disable this effect in the options menu. In the future, we may expand this build-over-time effect into a feature, so that very large deployables, such as watchtowers don't just appear in one frame but rather will need to be bui...

The Rust May update takes one of the best survival games on Steam nuclear. The Rust May patch notes are headlined by the addition of an all-new monument, the Nuclear Missile Silo. This new location can be found lurking under a rather unassuming military base, and promises all manner of valuable rewards for players brave enough to explore it. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Rust update adds ping system, double saddles, and Easter eggs Rust Industrial update lets you automate your base and crafting Rust water is getting more watery

NUCLEAR MISSILE SILO This month we bring you an all-new monument that we have been quietly working on for the past few months, the Nuclear Missile Silo. While exploring the map you will run across a small military base that will be marked from the distance by a tall radio tower. While unremarkable from the outside, the base hides a secret. In its center you will find a large hatch that will allow you to access a large underground network of tunnels. https://files.facepunch.com/damian/1b0311b1/nms_2.jpg Jump in while the hatch is open and you will find yourself inside a deep underground missile silo that hosts a massive ICMB. Remember that while you're in you can't go back easily, so be prepared before you enter. https://files.facepunch.com/damian/1b0311b1/nms_1.jpg As you explore, you will find various rooms filled with loot and a new dangerous type of Scientists who will shoot anyone trying to interfere with their experiments. Fight your way through and take the elevators to the bottom of the structure and you will find a nuclear warhead connected to a laptop displaying an ominous countdown. https://files.facepunch.com/damian/1b0311b1/nms_16.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/damian/1b0311b1/nms_6.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/damian/1b0311b1/nms_11.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/damian/1b0311b1/nms_13.jpg To exit the monument you will need to find a security room that contains a button that will temporarily let you out. The room also contains a computer station that will allow you to access several security cameras and spy on any potential campers. https://files.facepunch.com/damian/1b0311b1/nms_18.jpg WIPE EVENT As the countdown to the cycle reset approaches zero on the laptop in the missile silo, the amount of NPC activity around the island will increase. Vehicle patrols will begin on roads and fighter jets will patrol the skies. Future wipe events will include infantry patrols and bombing runs. https://files.facepunch.com/damian/1b0311b1/nms_19.jpg SMG RECOIL The Thompson and MP5 have received a buff to their accuracy. Both weapons will now have a higher probability to land center hits during extended fully automatic fire. In addition, the Thompson recoil will favor one side for slightly easier control. While SMGs are not intended to be used for long range engagements, we are aware that their usefulness at range should not be 0%. We will continue to monitor and make adjustments over the following few months. ADOBE BUILDING SKIN Available now from the Rust store is the new Adobe building skin which allows you to change the visuals of your base. This skin is for sale on the Steam store. To use, simply equip your hammer tool, display the wheel, enable building skins, this should reveal the skin's wheel on which you may choose Adobe style upgrade. https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/05/03/8v20T1/700580_20230426210205_1.png https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/05/03/9863q1/700580_20230426151735_1.png https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/05/03/8W...
