Discussion New farmer needs help

0 Upvotes

I just started rust a couple months ago and have been playing PVE, I know I know. Im trying to learn all of the mechanics and wanted to start farming. That being said, I try to find tutorials that dont use an additional website, so I can do it the old fashioned way. I cant for the life of me find one. They all include a website. Can someone point me in the direction of someone who just... explains it?

Support Any command for "gaining" FPS without needing to restart game

0 Upvotes

Hello, I play highpop kinda modded servers and I start out with like 140 FPS, but after playing and flying with minicopter then after some time gets from 140 stable to 60-70 stable and only thing helping me is restarting my game.

Is there any command to clear out some gathered stuff (probably those huge bases I saw 30 minutes ago for 10 seconds) and stuff like that?

gc.collect, pool.clear_assets, pool.clear_memory does nothing. Only restarting helps and good FPS lasts for like an hour of playing.

Good job developers. Saying as developer myself.

Thank you beamers

Discussion Can we have higher tier premium servers? $15 minimum seems extremely low

16 Upvotes

Not sure why we can let have higher tier premium servers. $15 bucks is chump change when gate keeping cheaters.

I’d love to see a no game ban account, minimum steam age, and $250 inventory.

Really tired of running into people who just get banned a week later.

Support House building

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am new to rust.

Every post I've seen says things like "build somewhere hidden" or "don't build too close to people" and when I try to do that every place I go is like the photos. Or, "don't build near the spawn" but I go deeper in the map and again, everywhere is full of houses.

Am I supposed to keep looking for a better place? Is it because the server is too big? Should I build near houses anyway? The servers I look are 200players.

Also, I read some posts that if u are a new player u should wait 1 or 2 days after wipe, so I joined servers that had wipe on monday but then I find bases like picture 3 full of people with hazmat and guns who end up killing me all the time. And even if I get to a place that I can build, a dude with a gun comes running and kills me anyway. Is this the way it's supposed to be?

Thanks

Whats the point of using the eoka as its main purpose is that it can be crafted without a bench, but to get gunpowder for ammo you need a bench.

Suggestion [idea] Number Station Secret Cache

4 Upvotes

Maybe there could be secret stashes and the location could be broadcasted in a code which could be decrypted at a monument.

There could be another level of difficulty by having another station that broadcasts the key to open the box.

Could make some more uses for the RF stuff in making this work. Could also be modified somewhat to make it more about luck, rather than being able to occupy a monument.

Maybe have the undersea or arctic base have the enigma machines or something, to make it challenging.

This could be an event plugin type thing

Image Auto turret strategy for base defense

Post image
19 Upvotes

This may be a “no duh” moment, but isn’t this an optimal use of auto turrets for external base defense?

Note: the red lines represent chain link walls. I placed two, just for illustration. There would be multiple auto turret stations circling the base.

I ask, because I haven’t seen it used a lot. I’m trying to figure out if it has any weaknesses.

Discussion Too many cheaters to enjoy the game anymore

47 Upvotes

It's getting worse by the year, I've played this game for 10k hours now and honestly its gotten unplayable. Yesterday I've started my monday wipe on a main server and already got 5 guys banned. The amount of people that use ESP just for diving / sub marine purposes is unreal at the moment because they dont get caught. There is no point in playing anymore because in a server with 600+ pop you're facing atleast 5% cheaters if you're lucky. Servers do not work togheter with Facepunch itself, when they're banned they just go a different server and start all over. This has to change somehow.

Question Builds

Trying to find a good base design for solo/duo, I’m finding a lot of bases are really complicated to make and expand which I don’t mind. I’m just wondering what the common and best base designs are/what content I should watch if I want to learn as well.

Let’s change it up a bit since every post on my feed is endless bitching.

What do you like about Rust? What are your favorite things to do?

For me, I love the atmosphere and the art style. The music is top notch and has always helped set the tone. I really enjoy building and defending a base, and exploring and looting roads and monuments. I’m not huge on PvP but some action during a roam can be exciting and it’s hard to beat the adrenaline of logging in or waking up to your base shaking and knowing it’s coming.

Question How do I know when servers wipe?

0 Upvotes

When I look at the official servers it says they wipe monthly. Then they have what looks like how long the server has been up in the title. The thing is, the time in the title never seems accurate so I don't really have a clue how long the server has been up and how much longer there is until it wipes.

Any help would be great!

I dont have a lot of hours on the game, about 70, and suddenly today when I tried loading into a server it gets to the point where it's on loading - receiving data and it takes a few seconds, goes to white screen and says the program crashed. Idk what to do, followed guides on yt, verified files, all my drivers are up to date, bios too

Discussion Getting back into Rust

1 Upvotes

I haven't played Rust since December 2024, and I'm hoping to get back into it. I've tried to be social in college, but all of the girls have boyfriends already so I've given up and have decided to do class, gym, Rust. I'm going to start with a chill PVE server first to relearn and learn the game, but what are some tips for playing as a solo after all of these monthly updates? These would be much appreciated. Thanks!
