Question Rust. Why do players carry armor instead of wearing it?

10 Upvotes

Why do so many Rust players run around naked after leaving their base and only put on their armor or hazzy right before a fight?

Wouldn't you be way more likely to die if someone started shooting at you before you even noticed them? You'd have a much better chance of surviving if you were already geared up.

I get that it's probably to avoid looking like you have loot on you, but they're still running around with a gun instead of a rock, so I don't really get the logic.

Maybe I just don't have enough hours in Rust yet, but can someone explain this to me?

ru:
почему многие игроки раста после выхода из дома бегут голышом, а броню или хазик держат в инвентаре, и надевают уже перед файтом? так же сильно больше шанс умереть если по игрроку начнут стрелять, а он не заметит, в отличии от того если бы броня была одета.
я понимаю что скорее всего это делают что бы не привлекать внимание, и делать вид что лута нету, но они бегут в руках с оружием, а не с камнем, так что я не вижу логики. возможно у меня мало часов что бы это понимать, поэтому, кто-то объяснит?

How did Facepunch not think of this? It’s easier to shoot from—especially with a rocket launcher. Plus, Facepunch is planning to add a one-handed Uzi; sooner or later, they’ll likely add the ability to shoot from inside a cockpit, too. Solo players would love that—everyone would be happy!

Question Biofuel Generator Question

2 Upvotes

Just trying to figure out if I am using this thing incorrectly or its just the way it is. I add my items, then I stir. The status bar goes from red requires stirring to a green stirred bar. No matter what you put in there (unless you are on some crazy modded stack size server I suppose) that green bar will never run out. Anytime you add an item you have to stir it again even if the stirred bar is still half full.

Am I using this correctly or is there some way to get items in there as long as the status bar is still green (stirred)?

Just seem silly to have a status bar that counts down if it can never reach zero.

For example at water treatment there is another powered door with loot directly under the fuse room. There is rooms like this at other monuments. They don't open all the time. What do I need to do for these rooms to always open?

Meta Blueprint meta for next force wipe

3 Upvotes

I believe for next wipe with how workbenches are going to be as they were before prior to the fragments. The game will be generally easier. Considering the fact that blueprints themselves are still going to be an issue, there’ll be ways to work around it.

I personally believe the new meta will be to struggle on the first wipe of the month. By the end of the wipe go out, search for decayed/raided bases. Then you can do your researching. Therefore all you need to have next wipe is the stuff to craft and the workbenches. I personally see it easier said than done. I do this currently even with the fragments but at least I don’t need to worry about blueprints let alone scrap besides mini’s.

Discussion Add storage in wb or tc for new fragments and pages

2 Upvotes

Just a thought for these frags to have a dedicated spot rather than chucking them in with comps or whatever. Or add a craft able book shelf or envelope or something that will allow storage for cards and fragments. If you could stack cards in it it would be a whole lot cleaner.

Electrical help - auto lights

Thumbnail

48 Upvotes

New to rust, first time doing electrical. I’m trying to set up auto lights at night but not sure this is right.

Does this make sense if I continue my grid off that second branch power out?
Also, is power being wasted as I have it now, with nothing else attached the branch?

Feel like I might be missing something, thanks

Discussion Building/Base meta?

2 Upvotes

What are the current must haves when you are creating a base? I usually play solo/duo sometimes trio, but I’m after a very long break and never actually played the game and reached a proper end game state (I.e. huge base, electricity, farms, etc).

I typically played 5-10x due to time constraints, but even then the base meta doesn’t change much I imagine.

Any recommendations or advice on how to build strong bases? I really like the idea of a base I can defend, but never had the chance to look into it without jeopardising it in some way or the defence actually being effective.

Discussion so I took down heli for the first time...

0 Upvotes

and the loot was crap, 4 of the lightest elite crates ever:

1) single MP5 in it nothing else. just 1 item.

2) 128 rounds regular 5.56, 32 expo, 40 HV, and 60 Incendiary and nothing else. 4 low value items, since I have the BPs and can get sulfur.

3) 4 wep upgrades (1 expanded mag, 1 3 rnd burst, 1 scope, one laser) and nothing else. 4 items, mag and scope good, the rest fairly useless.

4) Glock 17, 32 rnds pistol ammo, 10 rnds incendiary pistol ammo, nothing else. 3 items, not worth much to my play style and level of progression on this wipe.

is that normal? built a whole armored tower for this shitty loot? seriously tell me this was just rng bad luck, if that is normal heli loot wtf is the point of heli? it was a huge pain to take down, ran away twice and finally did enough damage 3rd time to get it to crash half a map away. low pop so got the loot but sheesh it was so not worth it.

if i tried with more players online would loot be better?

Suggestion Add clothing visibility

0 Upvotes

Basically title, i want to know if someone has clothes/armor on them they are not wearing similar to weapons, it can be in their belt or back

Reason is, rn i just shoot nakeds on sight because they might have decent gear on them but they don’t have a weapon, so i see nothing.

P.S. the thought of equipping and unequipping clothes makes me feel a certain way too lol

Discussion See what's coming in the next Rust wipe

10 Upvotes

Got super frustrated reading through all the fluff commits Rust puts out, so I spent a few weeks throwing this site together. Designed it based off of FP's commit website - it's simple but straightforward

Would appreciate feedback on what's useful & what to show on the site. Currently you can see upcoming updates, ordered by "Trending" (which is just what people are talking about) and new. Goal is really to make this the easiest place to get Rust news before the devblogs are out (and maybe to give you that edge over your next wipe). Cheers!

Discussion Vanilla Rust Solo Streamers

8 Upvotes

I have always wondered when Rust solo streamers they start their Rust wipe, grinded, spent time getting all the loot and building their big base. Mind you all of this took so many hours. Then when it’s time to goto sleep they log off. When they log back in the next day and they got raided. How do they find the motivation and so much time they have to spend to start from zero again? Is there something I’m missing here or is there things they do to avoid starting from zero again etc?

Also one other question is does anyone know the frosted transparent door skin that Posty uses? What is it called and can it be bought?

Question Ryzen 9 9900X to Ryzen 7 9800X3D — Worth upgrading for Rust at 1440p?

0 Upvotes

I'm considering upgrading my Ryzen 9 9900X to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D specifically for better performance in Rust.

Current specs:

  • CPU: Ryzen 9 9900X
  • GPU: RTX 4070 Ti Super
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5
  • Resolution: 1440p, 144Hz
  • Settings: Medium–High
  • Current FPS: Roughly 80–110 on populated servers. Fluctuates a lot.

I've heard Rust benefits significantly from AMD's 3D V-Cache but I'm trying to determine how much of an improvement I'd actually see.

I'm also considering the 9950X3D, although some benchmarks suggest the gaming performance difference between the two X3D processors is pretty marginal.

Trying to figure out the best path forward. Thanks for your help!
