Yesterday I got offline raided in EU facepunch 1 hardcore mode literally 20 minutes after i logged off. Today, on the other side of the map, the same russian motherfucker and his friend somehow found me again and started doorcamping and trying to get me to go offline.

I despawned all my loot inside armored honeycomb, now they wont get anything. Never going back to that server. This made me feel good. If it matters, the server is like 7 pop.

Anyways, just wanted to rant. Have a good day folks.

Taking server suggestions for people who study/work full time, solo/duo

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.

Its time

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?

Does anyone know how these players stacked their bamboo shelves?
I've tried doing this on the same server, but it won't let me do it.

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.

Can’t load in to server keep getting connection attempt failed message, never seen this before

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?

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.

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.

Where should i settle my base and what do i do

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.

I own a waterpipe shotgun for base defense, since that's what the founding developers intended. Four geared guys blow into my base. "What in tarnation?" As I grab my boonie hat and shotgun. Blow a pumpkin sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my semi-automatic pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's actually just a revolver and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the ballista mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with a hammerhead bolt, "Back to the beach mateys" the bolt shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off seismic sensors. Grab my stone spear and charge the last terrified naked. He Bleeds out waiting on the zerg to arrive since triangular spearhead wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding developers intended.

Hey everyone my name is zYnVids! I offer a custom rust base building service, my first post got removed because I included a link. but I'm in compliance with the rust subreddits rules "No looking for server or looking for group". Am I also packing this post with "where to get custom rust base" keywords, maybe, but If you don't want to overpay and still receive quality builds please give me a search! Here is also a rust base custom design hammer I included, zYnVids, thanks!

Hello, recently I ve been getting a lot of ads about this app called PlexusX which apparently boosts display saturation among other things without touching the game at all, all through display settings, can someone help me find out wheter it’s bannable or not

Im self employed and my duo is in school. We have ~2300hrs each and are good, but we havent played since before deep sea update. How does the play feel? And is it stuffed with cheaters?

I just need some kind of peaceful server to mess around in so I can learn the mechanics of the game, regular lobbies are cool but I get smoked by both players and npcs

I just want to test around and learn the game so when I go into public lobbies I stand a chance lol
