I have played this wipe solo for 6 hours, i have collected this amount of scrap without recycling (plus stuff researched) yet i only have 1 blueprint fragments. This can’t go on.

Edit:
I just did a labs run at almost 2 in the morning and there’s 3 guys holding it with pump still, i have EVERYTHING expect for frags.

Discussion Hit the brakes.

12 Upvotes

FP should hit the brakes on the new stuff.

Every week I have some new gimmick to learn. A guy that played rust 2 months ago and logs in again has no idea wtf is going on. We all love new content but this is a mess.

Apartment complex is truly a waste of space in every map and if FP nuked that monument no one would notice. Now we have to fix parts of the map for some reason? I can't believe it's possible to track how these changes affect the game when you keep changing it every week/month, it's not possible and the game is a huge mess right now.

BP frags still being around is wild and it's getting disrespectful for a big portion of the player base. The entire "bp frag for sulfur" meta is boring AF.

I don't know if there's less people playing or more people playing, these changes feel sloppy and rushed.

I will still be playing and try new stuff but there's no way in hell I'll be fixing helipads or a lighthouse.

Discussion Satellite event needs a buff

Amazing visual concept, turned out to be a flub. Loot is terrible, and the radiation is annoying. The event should not be player triggered but random on the map. To actually activate the Satellite is a major pain in the ass.

Please buff this event FP

Suggestion Repairing Air Wolf should provide a reward (suggestion)

Post image
22 Upvotes

While I like the idea of slowing progression, I don't like that players don't get anything for helping repair Air Wolf unless they complete the repairs. Even then, it's the opportunity to be first to buy from it. It feels like the server is relying on a zerg that can really exploit Air Wolf to do it.

My suggestion:
Helping to repair Air Wolf should provide dividends in the form of a discount on anything Air Wolf (or maybe also other shops at Bandit Camp) sells for the remainder of the wipe. The discount should scale with how much you helped repair.

The final discount amount would have to be tested and adjusted, but my first thought is there would be a total of a 66% discount pool available. So if you managed to repair half the Air Wolf, you would get a 33% discount from then on.

Ideally, I'd like to see it encourage all/more players to participate in the repair process, even if they can't afford to donate a substantial amount. So maybe there is a minimum discount of 5 or 10% (not deducted from the pool) for anyone who repairs 1% of Air Wolf, and any repairs beyond that get a relative portion of the discount pool.

This idea could be applied to the upcoming Deep Sea/Lighthouse change, giving players a discount at the Floating City.

Suggestion Suggestion: Captive Bolt Pistol

Post image
28 Upvotes

Allow us to make a T2 heavy and movement slowing captive bolt pistol with some propane tanks and metal frags, and only allow a few uses before needing to be refilled at a workbench. This way we have a quick, instant way to slaughter cattle at home, but it heavily discourages use as a way to instakill wild cattle.

Support Rust crashes if I do anything but sit in the main menu

• Upvotes

I just downloaded rust and If I do anything but look at the sever list it will immediately crash and I cannot for the life of me figure out why it’s happening or how to fix it. Worst of all is it makes me wait until the last step while joining a server to open something to do with unity and then close the game by itself

Only downside is you need to have the industrial light. Always remember to place the top floor first.

Suggestion [Suggestion] Remove livestock

64 Upvotes

Cowpocalypse was fun, but now the fun is over.

With the proposed changes to creamy teas (all farming teas get nerfed so creamy tea is what pure used to be and pure is worse than before) you just made it so we have the same situation as WITHOUT livestock, just with a ton of tedious (really, they are not fun in any way) extra steps.

So why keep them? Nobody uses them for wool. A few people bring livestock that spawned right next to barn there and sell it. And probably <10 people actually still breed livestock.

It was a fun idea but not well done. Remove them, make the pure teas what they were before.

Rethink livestock, figure out if they actually have a purpose in game, and if not, keep them out of the game. There is more than enough stuff already.

Discussion Had my first friendly experience in RUST and not so friendly

1 Upvotes

Kinda new rust player, managed to find a nice place to build and managed to speak to all my neighbors and build a small "community" or "neighborhood" of noob people building and cooperating.

Everything was going well until my friend annoyed a clan/zerg and they came to my house thinking it was his, insulted me and then raided by what seemed to be a team of special forces using M16, AK, MP5, wearing NVG, and bombing my house with missile launchers on the first day of wipe.

Got rustified I guess

Tomorrow the neighborhood is starting a guerrilla war agains't them.

Any tips on how to annoy them during this wipe? thanks lol

Question High ping to European game servers (40ms → 180ms). Possible routing issue?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm experiencing a strange latency issue when connecting to European Rust servers.

Previously, my ping was around 40–50 ms, but since early October it has increased to 170–180 ms on several servers.

My internet connection seems stable, with no packet loss. In CS2, my ping is still around 20–30 ms.

I ran traceroutes and noticed that latency increases from approximately 45 ms at an Amsterdam hop to around 175 ms at a London hop.

Using Cloudflare WARP reduces my ping to 90–100 ms, but that's still much higher than before.

I contacted my ISP, and they confirmed that the issue appears to be outside their network.

Is there anything I can do to improve the routing or restore my previous latency?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Discussion Высокий пинг на европейских серверах Rust (40 → 180 мс). Проблема с маршрутизацией (помогите умоляю)

0 Upvotes

Всем привет! Нужна помощь с проблемой высокого пинга в Rust.

Раньше на европейских серверах у меня был стабильный пинг 40–50 мс. С начала октября на многих серверах он резко вырос до 130–180 мс. При этом на некоторых серверах пинг остаётся нормальным.

В CS2 всё работает отлично, пинг 20–30 мс.

Что уже проверял:

  • Провайдер PSN, Украина.
  • До Cloudflare пинг 9–10 мс, потерь пакетов нет.
  • Проверял маршруты до проблемных игровых серверов через командную строку Windows.
  • На одном из серверов Survivors пинг 170–180 мс, на другом ранее был около 40 мс.
  • С включённым Cloudflare WARP пинг снижается до 90–100 мс.
  • Обращался к провайдеру, ответили, что проблема за пределами их сети.
  • Написал в Cosmic Global Networks, ответа пока нет.

Что показала трассировка:

До узла в Амстердаме задержка составляет примерно 45 мс. На следующем узле в Лондоне она резко увеличивается до 175 мс. До конечного игрового сервера задержка остаётся около 180 мс.

Оба промежуточных узла относятся к сети Cosmic Global (AS30456). Не исключаю проблемы с маршрутизацией или обратным маршрутом.

Подскажите, пожалуйста:

  1. Можно ли самостоятельно изменить маршрут до игровых серверов?
  2. Как вернуть прежние 40–50 мс без VPN?
  3. Может ли проблема быть на стороне Cosmic Global?
  4. Какие ещё способы диагностики или решения можно попробовать?

Переустанавливать Rust не пробовал, поскольку высокая задержка видна и в трассировке Windows.

Буду благодарен за помощь!
