RUSTIC REEF AMUSEMENT PARK
Last blog I showcased many of the big-hitters in the Rust Creative Arts community. This month they have literally combined forces to play together for an entire month and managed to make a giant amusement park on the water!

I present to you: Rustic Reef





From a life size DDR game, to a roller coaster. They even managed to mimic a ferris wheel.

The masterminds behind this project are: DaVinci, ... Read more

CARGO SHIP DOCKING
We’ve given both Harbors a fresh coat of paint this month, with a significant amount of visual and gameplay changes. These changes support the new Cargo Ship docking process, which allows the ship to adjust it's course and dock with the harbor.





Each harbor has a new island that can be reached by crossing a rotating bridge, floating containers or a daring set of jumps across cranes. This island becomes a stronghold once the Cargo Ship docks as it becomes sheltered from the rest of the harbor.



The ship will pick the first harbor it passes to dock and will only dock once. Once docked, the cranes in the Harbor will... Read more

EASTER 2024

EGG HUNT
For the next week, every 24-38 hours in-game hours an Easter egg hunt will begin. You'll have 3 minutes to collect as many eggs as you can. The top 3 players are given special eggs as a reward. These eggs can be cracked open for various types of loot ranging from scrap all the way up to an M249!



If you don't make the podium, that's okay. The painted eggs you collect can be upgraded to Bronze eggs once you collect 10. If you collect 10 bronze eggs then you can upgrade to a silver egg, eventually all the way to gold!

There are various items available to help you during your hunt. The Easter Basket will allow instant pickup of eggs and the Bunny Onesie and Ears will provide you with an advantage via Egg Vision.

Have fun!

This year we've added a new costume DLC attire, the chicken costume! The chicken costume is a lower body attire w... Read more

What percentage of Rust players are cheaters?

Comment

Originally posted by Ready-Accountant-502

A lot more than you think. According to facepunch official 2022 stats. There were two million players and over 800,000 banns. That's just the ones who were caught.

https://rust.facepunch.com/2022

Scripting in rust is the most common, ESP is toggled during raids and monument runs. Most hackers toggle because you're less likely to get caught.

My assumption is, players don't want to lose loot they spent hours acquiring, so they cheat. Which pretty much eliminates the point of rust anyway.

This is also why Rust is so toxic. Cheaters know they can't lose. So they power trip on the fact that they can treat players however they wish and they can get away with it.

Ironically, if someone is cheating in a video game it's most likely compensation for being a neckbeard/incel in real life.

The way these stats were presented and communicated wasn't good.

17+ million sales, and 800k bans in Rust's lifetime, a high % of these bans were not permanent bans, they were temporary suspensions or bans unrelated to cheating.

In 2022, we saw 9 million unique accounts, not 2 million. The two million was a reference to just Facepunch servers.

Many cheat accounts were temporarily banned pending investigation; then, a permanent ban was applied. This counted as two bans in our metrics.

TUTORIAL ISLAND


A common story we hear from new players is that they have seen their friends/Twitch Streamer/YouTuber playing Rust, so they pick up the game and then bounce off it due to how harsh and unforgiving the new player experience can be. This month’s Tutorial Island is our attempt to provide new players with a safe environment to learn the basic controls and mechanics of Rust before being set loose in the main game with other players.



Everyone will be prompted to start the tutorial when they first spawn this month, if you’re a long term player feel free to decline the tutorial and we won’t ask you about it again. Once the player starts the Tutorial, they will be respawned on a dedicated island where an NPC will guide them through the first half hour of gameplay. This ... Read more

LUNAR NEW YEAR
Happy Lunar New Year to everyone! This year, we celebrate the Year of the Dragon.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is a symbol of courage, power, and majesty.
And to help everyone get in the spirit, we have added both new and old Lunar New Year items to the Steam item store.

But don't forget to decorate your bases with trees (symbolizing wealth and good luck) and wearing this year's lucky colours (yellow and red)!





SPEAR
Prim locked? This magnificent Chinese spear is for the fearless primitive warriors of Rust. This spear is a skin replacement for the wooden spear. Crafted with precision and adorned with intricate engravings, this weapon is not just a tool for battle. It's a work of art that tells a story of power and elegance.

BACKPACKS
Backpacks have been one of Rust's most highly requested additions for several years, and what is a survival game without backpacks? This month, we're excited to bring you the small and large backpack, allowing players to carry more loot.



Inventory space has become more scarce as more items have been added to Rust over the years.

Small Backpack


The small handmade backpack provides 12 slots & can be crafted for 50 cloth and five sewing kits at a T1 workbench. It is a default blueprint and will take 30 seconds to craft.
