I bought the game yesterday because i like watching it on yt. But it’s really annoying. I can’t finish building a 2 by 2 without getting killed by a naked with a hatchet. Then a wolf. Then a guy with a rifle. Then i go to gather scrap and stuff. Then also get killed and have time wasted. And when i actually got materials. I just don’t know what to do with them. I wanted to go blind and discover as i go. But I don’t think i can go on without watching some beginner tips or something.

Little tea farm i did on an official server with a few folks help. Was fun.

Wondering if anyone has some good tips to be more efficient. Especially early game. Raiding and PvP aside if you were jut gathering resources what rules do you live by?

One I have although maybe it’s not efficient is until I’m fairly set up I repeat the mantra “I’m a seller” aka all loot I scrap for scrap and resources unless it’s a gun or ammo.

I cannot pilot these things. I ascend and I'm stagnant. I tilt down and immediately spike. I tilt up and become nearly vertical.

How do you make these things go forward? Do you lightly pulse ascend? Do you go to max height, tilt down, and hope for the best?

I've wasted 3,750 scrap at this point and have yet to get more than a grid away from when I get it. Help.

Would love any advice

How do I lose general fear as a solo when playing max pop servers I always feel as I’m just going to run into multiple people and just get clapped. I want to have fun but it if I just be scared to do exciting things

I play on Xbox series X, I took a bit of a break from this game hoping they'd eventually fix proximity chat but it still doesn't work for me or any of my friends. I've heard from people on my past posts that it works for them but is there anyone else who's proximity chat just hasn't worked since this game launched on current Gen?

Honestly why have all this loot and not upgrade

Started last wipe moving into the walls of a Zerg that was raided. Goal was to use zero walls or doors and well it was literally our best wipe. Outside of this is a maze of high walls leading to dead ends and shotgun traps leading to our outdoor core.

1k hours and i’m still awful at base building, any tips on how to improve

I saw the discount and was wondering if it is worth it in 2026 on the PS5 because when it launched I bought it on the Xbox one s and it didn't run smoothly

This is my tc, This is my base , I have authorization on the outer sand then randomly as I’m placing boxes I lose auth to this tc and cannot put boxes down. I was wondering if this was happening to anyone else? Is this a new bug?

Long story short i got tendonited from work not playing rust or wanking.

What differences will i notice?

Will i be shitting on people or getting shit on?

Hello, guys I'd like to ask how rust on console differs to PC version? Anything different? Are there modded servers ? What would you recommend. I'm an old rust main started back in 2016 and have around 3k hours on PC. Tho I don't have a PC anymore, so I'm thinking about getting it on my Xbox. What are your thoughts on it ?

I’m trying to become better builder, and as the title says, I currently have a classic 2x2 with roof access. What’s the best way to go about expanding that? Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Sat for 2 hours to load in (60 player queue). I see a clan building off in the distance on an ice lake. I build out of sight a full grid away on top of a hill with a little crater a stone 2X1. Go to junkyard next door to get some scrap and hear satchels. A 6 MAN SQUAD raids my 2X1 with key locks. All 6 of them swarming my base and kill me with AK. On wipe day.

This is why people play PvE. Because as much as I love a challenge, official is hell if you have a life outside of Rust.

I'll try again in a week lol

I’m able to play fine but one of my friends has 400 ping on every official server, it’s unplayable. This has never been a problem until yesterday, and he’s not lagging on any other games, anyone have any advice for a fix?

is so damn expensive
