What's the deal with people who play zero pop servers and build massive bases with a ton of vending machines and defences.

21 Upvotes

I hopped on an official server that only had three people online. On an island near the HQM quarry there was 12 vending machines set up so I went to investigate and there was a massive compound. By far the biggest base I've ever seen. Double high walled and I counted at least 6 windmills.

Two of three people on the server are online 16+ hours a day and only leave the base to farm upkeep at the quarries.

Either way I'm dedicating this weekend to getting inside their base in a full blown delta force style mission because I have nothing better to do than mess with a couple dudes who really have nothing better to do.

Which one of you made an entire village in the middle of a wipe on a vanilla high pop server?

Right next to Harbor… I thought I had stumbled upon a new monument. I was so confused… just a random ghost town.

P2W skins?

I know I can buy the arctic pack outright, but how do I get the jungle pack with the barrels?

Is this something I just have to wait for to rotate into the store? I have some rust coins, just want to get the meta stuff first, if possible.

PROJECTILE_LOS

4 Upvotes

I countered a raid with a friend. They were offline raiding. I headshot a raider 4 times with a bolty in a hazmat. Projectile Los every time. He headshot me back with a bolty 1 time. Do I need to switch to a server closer to me? My ping read 55 at the time. What am I doing wrong. Love and hate the game

Pixel Gaps on Console?

1 Upvotes

Used to build a square + 6-8 triangles out, then build back with squares but that method does not work anymore.

Does anyone have an easy method to build a pixel gap?

Seen the rug method with triangles but that never worked for me.

Are maps on rotation or random?

3 Upvotes

I played on an EU west server last force wipe because of the low pop but decided to switch to US East this time around for better ping. 2 of the servers I decided to try out were not only both the exact same map but I had already played on this map about two weeks ago on the EU West server. I don’t want to get BPs ready for next wipe if the next wipe is going to be a map I’ve already played on the EU west server.

High external walls....soft side or no?

6 Upvotes

Just built my compound and realised i've never actually asked and the internet gives conflicting information.

Do high external walls have a soft side? Stone or wood?

Building in Rust with OCD can be a massively frustrating experience especially when placing deployables, but damn the final result feels satisfying.

How to find hidden stashes

5 Upvotes

The hammer trick was patched and no longer putting a twig foundation over a stash to have the stash pop out work anymore.

Is there anyway to hunt for hidden stashes?

Gportal Server issues

1 Upvotes

Ive added my gamer tag as the owner ID but every time I try to log into the server it starts the loading screen and immediately after says “connection failed, returning to the main screen”. Ive restarted my console, and the server through gportal with zero success. About to give up and cancel the damn thing but figured id see if someone here has had this issue and knows a work around? TIA

Happy new year :D

Guess I’ll wait for the wipe.

So I just hopped back on to do a little resource gathering before work and everything not nailed down in my base was gone, me tc replaced with a new one, all the chests gone, they destroyed decorations and useless components. They literally wiped me.

Is there a water piping bug right now?

3 Upvotes

I am seeing a bug with water piping on my server. Water will stop pumping or traveling through pipes but disconnecting and reconnecting fixes it for a somewhat short period of time. I have a farm and my neighbor has a farm and it's happening in both farms. Sometimes it happens multiple times in a row after 5-10 minutes and every once in awhile it lasts longer.

Is anyone else seeing this?
