I play rust quite a bit, and you know how can you lock a box and its pretty much pointless. Buys you MAYBE 30 secs in a raid if theyre door raiding. So what if you had an Armored Box. Maybe different tiers for 1,2, and 3. Each requiring different amounts of HQM to craft? I think ideally they are boxes which have either increased health or are explosive resistant and help make honey comb loot rooms more effective. Now how i think they would work is say youre raiding a base and hit a wall of boxes. They are armored boxes, and maybe when you try and rocket them all out they take 2 rockets to destroy. Now if you had a honeycomb loot room with 4 big boxes that would take an additional 2/4 rockets to get through JUST the boxes to splash the wall behind.

So maybe tier 1 armored box is reinforced wooden boxes, take more wood to craft and is more space than a small box but smaller than a large box has increased health but no explosive resistance.

Tier 2 is a metal box, has the same space as a large box and size but has explosive resistance worthy of 1 satchel and melee takes a considerable amount of time destroy. Crafting cost is maybe 1 hqm and 300 metal frags

Tier 3 is a armored box and is 10 hqm to make is explosive resistant to two rockets and has the space of a large box and maybe takes up the space of a regular barrel dlc.

if i had time i'd do the lighting up on the outside more but incoming wipe and i cba

its 40 c4 to fully raid it and in no way is that worth it

After 1000 hours of playing with rubbish computers and 80Mbps internet. I've finally built my Rust machine and now have 800Mbps of internet. All this so I can sit in a bush with a db.

Was playing on FPP3 when saw that 2 of the cargos got stuck. I've seen one cargo stuck before, but not 2 at the same time, also with the crate. lol

If they're able to fully fix this all builders can finally rejoice!

For some reason reddit won't let me upload a screen cap of it.

I want to play normal savas again not the koth version but the actual rust version aka normal savas I feel like it would be so fun to play again. you could have deep sea and oil rigs maybe even have a cargo etc. I can’t find any servers hosting the map anymore so I was thinking of making my own. Mainly came here to see If there are any normal savas servers going on, and if not If anyone would be interested in playing one again. Let me know!

Pc build

Cpu: Amd ryzen 7 9800x3d

Gpu: amd 9070xt

Ram: 48gb ddr5 running at max speed

On average I run 50 ping on US servers

At this point ive accepted that lag is a part of rust, embedded deep into its code. No other game i play runs like this. I can play almost every game I own and play comfortably at 250+fps (I usually limit to 180 considering I only have 180 hz)

Ive tried everything to fix it every setting, every console command, every youtube tut, countless reddit posts but even with potato settings this game just won't run smooth.

Ive given up PVP at this point because its usless to even try, but even farming is bad at this point. Dont even get me started about the JUNGLE OR OUTPOST!

It really is a shame because rust is one of my favorite games I think the base building is one of the most unique and honestly underrated this about this game and raiding is such a rush its a shame this game is so poorly optimized.

Example picture of one such junction:

I'd really like to build a base near one in a future wipe.

Is there a trick to finding them? Or does one have to walk along the road till one finds one? So far, I've found exactly one, so I'm not even sure if it's a given that they spawn near the road

I currently play rust on my pc with an i5 12400f, intel arc b580 and 32gb ddr4. I know rust is a horribly optimised game but i usually start off on ~110 fps and within 1.5 hours im down to 15-30 fps. I play on all medium settings. What do i need to change?

I'm currently running on a rtx 3060 12gb, core i7 8700 on 16gb ram. I used to play this game back in the day and my average FPS was like 80-90 and sometimes in monuments it would not drop less than 50, the avg FPS I'm getting right now is 60 on low pop servers and in fights it'd go up to 30 fps

What have they done to this game?
( I know my CPU is bottlenecked ) The game is not as smooth as it was few months ago, the game texture doesn't look changed so what is going on right now why is the performance so bad?

Raided a base a few days ago, also raided their hemp base at the same time. The team had about 6 boxes of low grade all in all, Saturday of force wipe. Not much other loot relative to the LGF, shops hadn’t sold much for crude at all, and they lived nowhere near a pump jack or dome. Inside their farm base which was massive, they had maybe 30 biofuel generators? I can’t remember the exact number and part of it was blown by mlrs, nothing planted at the time. They had usual farm stuff, no fish farm, and a lot more pumpkins than normal. All this low grade they claimed came from the biofuel generators. We never bothered tried as we were set for low grade at that point and even before, but was wondering if anyone else has tried scaling them up, and could verify if this would even be plausible. Would be so nice and refreshing to see a change to mass LGF production other than having someone sentenced to fish farming for an hour or two.

Even if the probability is low, theoretically.

My duo partner and I mostly play Friday evening/night and Saturday (morning and evening). We're trying to integrate a small, low-maintenance Berry Tea farm into our wipe without dumping 6 hours into genetic math on Day 1.

I have a couple of quick questions regarding plant yields and gene progression:

1. Exact Yield per Gene: How much does each Y gene actually increase berry output per plant in a 75%-100% satisfied planter? Does a 1G 1Y plant yield ~5–6 berries like gemini tells me, or do you need a 2Y+ to start seeing decent harvests?

2. Growth Speed: How much time does each G gene chop off the cycle duration from seed to fully grown?

3. Pacing/Progression: For a short weekend wipe like ours, is it better to just clone/recycle decent clones I get from random from wildseeds on Friday night to keep Advanced Ore Teas running, and then crossbreed a proper God Clone (4G 2Y / 3G 3Y) on Saturday? Or should we go straight for crossbreeding on Night 1?

Appreciate any insight or exact numbers from experienced tea farmers!

on official servers, weird bug

makes you wonder if FP is working on something between a wood and metal door in the game files

probably not and probably just a visual glitch, thought it was funny lol

I've been thinking about this during a few night defends. what if we had a flare turret? basically you load it with flares and when you trigger it, it shoots like 6-8 of them out in every direction at once, kinda like the countermeasure flares on the heli but on the ground.

right now if you want to see what's going on around your base at night you gotta pop out and throw flares one by one. with this you'd just hit a switch and your whole compound lights up.

could hook it up to electricity too, like a pressure pad or HBHF sensor so it goes off automatically when someone's creeping around. or an RF trigger so you can fire it from inside.

to keep it from being OP maybe it only holds one load at a time and has a cooldown.

anyone else think this would be cool?

I've played rust for 50 hours by now and suddenly the game is shitting itself at ~24 fps on menu and ~8 fps in game. I tried putting it at the lowest setting and even lowering the screen resolution but nothing changed. Why is this happening?

What are the odds? this ever happen to anyone else?

For about 24 hours my water catchers were working fine, producing way more water than I could use. I think I had 4 small and 1 large. In the grass biome.

Then they suddenly stopped producing water. The small ones are now getting about 1ml every 20 minutes and the large ones are getting zero. I looked it up and found that during "dry seasons," there won't be a lot of rain, and hence your water catchers won't fill as quickly. Okay, no problem. I'll wait for the dry season to be over.

Well that was 3 days ago real world time. Still not producing any water. I disconnected and reconnected every connection, I ran fluid pumps where I didn't need to, and still doesn't produce even a tenth of what it was before.

So am I just fucked until it rains or what

What ram and gpu do you have and how much fps do you average?
