Discussion The workbench update sucks, share your opinions and playstyles

2 Upvotes

To clarify a bit, im the type of player that goes on a server and plays for 2 days and thats it. I grind, snowball and farm for 2 days, get bored after i have everything, giveaway my base and go to a new server.

I loved the first wipe of the workbench upgrade, i got my T1 Bps way faster than before without any of the scrap grind. Unlocked T2 pretty fast, grinding BPs there was way harded but i still liked the progression.

Second wipe came, i log on after i get home from work (5hrs after wipe) and there is NOBODY with a bow?! Most players have T2 semi pistols already. Molotove raids almost instantly. It screwed my progression. I got raided 3 times on thursday.. Once with mollys and twice with C4?! First day of wipe.

Played friday wipe and couldnt compete for shit when everybody had p2s ans aks first day.

Reentered thursday wipe yesterday and got 10 c4 raided in 3 hours.

Share your opinions, what do you think of the new update, maybe i should change my playstyle but i kinda dont wanna.

Question Why do so many Rust players build roof access without an airlock?

4 Upvotes

I've noticed that a lot of players build roof entrances and exits for their bases, but many of them use regular double doors instead of an airlock.

Why is that?

An airlock seems like a much safer option. Even with double doors, someone could potentially sneak onto your roof and wait underneath the entrance with a Double Barrel shotgun. If you open the doors and try to enter or exit, they can catch you off guard and potentially get inside your base.

An airlock would make this much harder, since there's an additional layer of protection.

Is there a specific reason people prefer regular double-door roof access over an airlock? Is it just for convenience, saving space, or am I missing some strategic advantage?

Genuinely curious about your thoughts.

Discussion Wipe schedule filters should use OR instead of AND

5 Upvotes

Selecting both Weekly and Biweekly returns no servers. The filters seem to require servers to match both schedules, instead of showing servers that wipe either weekly or biweekly. Shouldn’t multiple selections within the same filter category use OR logic?

Is this an issue on my end?

Question Rubber Banding Issue

1 Upvotes

I’ve had a problem with rubber banding ever since I started playing Rust - 500 hours. The video shows exactly what I’m talking about.

Details:

This is the only game in which I’ve experienced this problem, or indeed any problem whatsoever related to the internet.

The problem occurs on every server, regardless of whether it’s an official server or a modded one.

When I experience so-called ‘rubber banding’, I can see everything around me normally, but other players can see me being teleported backwards.

Router: ASUS ROG Rapture GT6 AX10000

Long Press "E" for rename. Fix collision due to trampling. Maybe "Lead" should be any part of the head (not just at a front side) or long press as well.

Suggestion Horses should spook/flee when shot (like real horses and the new livestock)

13 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that when you shoot a riderless horse, it just stands there and does nothing. No reaction, no running, nothing. It only moves if you mount it or lead it.

This feels off, especially now that Facepunch has been adding more early game wildlife and livestock stuff. The new cows and sheep actually react and move around like animals. Horses still act more like stationary vehicles.

Real horses don’t just stand still when they get shot or hurt. They’re prey animals. They usually bolt, rear, or panic. Even a non-fatal shot makes most horses take off.

Would it be possible to give wild/riderless horses a simple spook reaction when they take damage (or hear nearby gunfire)? Something like a short flee or at least a rear/neigh animation would make them feel more alive and consistent with the other animals.

I’m not asking for them to be impossible to catch. Just some reaction so they don’t feel completely lifeless when you shoot them.

What do you guys think? Is this something you’d want, or is the current “stand still” behavior better for gameplay?

Discussion Stutters on GeForce Now after last update.

0 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone else is getting these micro freezes every 5 or so seconds? It used to run fine for me and then after this latest update it seems to pause for half a second every 5-8 seconds. Makes PvP impossible. I’ve tried any and all combinations of settings, verified polling rate of mouse to be <1000. Kind of lost on what to do.

Rebuilt our Rust map renderer – same map (size 3000, seed 69212580), old vs new

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes

First image is our old renderer, second is the new one. Same procedural map, size 3,000, seed 69212580. Third is a map page (size 4,000, seed 1337) with the new viewer: grid, biomes, monuments, labels.

I run just-wiped.net, a Rust wipe tracker, been at it since 2017. So far we've rendered 196,301 Rust maps, and every map page now lists size, islands, main biome, biome shares and monuments. Map pages: https://just-wiped.net/rust-maps

Curious what you look at first on a map before joining a server.

Discussion BP Frags are too easy to get.

0 Upvotes

I understand this may be an unpopular opinion but after playing a week of the new patch, getting tier one bps honestly feels easier than it was with scrap. The frags are way too common which means that everyone can tech tree to revo and satchel way too fast. The problem is even more exasterbated by the fact that these stupidly common bp frags can be upgraded 10:1 to pages. I was really hoping that this patch would nerf the tech tree in a meaningful way but it seems it has just made progression with the tech tree easier than ever.

TLDR: make the bp frags more rare or go back to scrap for tier one and remove bp frags all together and get rid of the 10:1 exchange from frags to pages.

Hey everyone! I tried making a Rust skin for the very first time and created the Honeycomb Garage Door with see-through honeycomb windows.
I know I still have a long way to go to reach the level of top creators, but I tried my best to make a clean design with functional visibility slots. I would really appreciate any rating on Steam and constructive criticism in the comments - I'll definitely take all your advice into account for my future skins!
