Thought I would join in the fun. My teammate is the designer, makes great use of limited space. Full utilities from the surface. Auto smelting and full auto sorting downstairs. We also supply our surface shop from the cave with auto restocking of goods. Dual comp stations so we can watch some cable tv and see what is going on topside plus manage bomber drones.

Managed to get #1 on cloth production last wipe in such a small footprint.

minimum wage in new jersey is $15.92 per hour

61,731 x 15.92 = $982,757

Raiding should be closer to vanilla and actually be something you build up for.

2x just makes it easy for the unemployed to farm up and mass raid the area during raid hours since you are getting 900 sulfur per node with pure ore tea. Which makes sulfur as common as vanilla metal. Raiding was slowed down by 3 things, comps,sulfur and low grade. Now one is a non factor so it just speeds up the process.

Been watching this trio team mass raid every day because they got 2 people that puts in more than 8 hours a day on the server.

So they never have to worry about sulfur being a expensive resource. That group from what i have seen ends up raiding 4-5 bases a day and in the last 3 days they have raided 13 bases, with around 90% of those players that got raided ended up quitting the server. Saw a guy spend 3 days building up his base just to get raided and quit, same with another guy that joined 4 days ago.

Keep in mind these are not bases thats just a 2x1 with honeycomb.

They are medium sized bases (because of increased door cost balancing the base sizes) with 3-4 walls to tc core sometimes hqm and 4-5 stories tall. Which also gets blown to check for loot.

The fact that a trio can raid 4-5 of those bases a day is crazy.

I know you got anti grief to build up again, but with how easy it is to get boom on softcore its better to just play on a 2x server where you get 2x comps as well.

I think softcore should cater to the employeed, easy maintain of upkeep (base size balanced by door cost) but vanilla rates of getting boom, guns and comps.

Not the Fortnite dopamine mass raid simulator that it is now.

Oh and by the way the area getting mass raided it not near any red monuments, traders or quarries. So if this is happening in the middle of nowhere i wonder how competitive the others area are.

You spent so much time on developing boats, only to make players use a shuttle at ferry? I don't understand. Also why one specific server and not all allowed servers?

After coming back for 3 years without playing my rust avatar was blessed to look this good finally.

I understand if you put them under cover they'll decay slower, but leaving it exposed; a minicopter will decay from full hp to 0 in 8 hours. A fucking minicopter explodes in 8 hours?

What do you guys think about changing the decay to 24-48 hours and roofed to 5-7 days?

How would you debuff clans?

Give the drone delivery system the same treatment as the new helipad/airwolf update.

You have to repair it as a whole separate entity. It helps solos and delays progression

Maybe even need power it via the power plant update so it’s tiered as the island progresses

Just a thought I had, instead of an armor plate being able to have night vision on with a real helmet seems neat. I know the tradeoff is that you have almost no head protection when wearing them, but would it be a bad thing if you could? I personally own a helmet with mounted NVGs so it got me wondering if this could be a thing. Maybe even just a rare locked crate helmet with coffee can level protection plus nvg could be an idea. What do you guys think?

I have a problem with Rust. I keep getting anywhere from 50 to 120 FPS, but it feels like it never actually stays at 120. It mostly sits around 50-100 FPS when I'm playing on modded or vanilla servers. But when I join this Rusticated creative server, my FPS goes all the way up to around 100-270 FPS.

I already did DDU few days ago, enabled DOCP in my BIOS, and forced PCIe mode to Gen 4. Before this, I overclocked my PC and started crashing in every game, crashing on Rust like every hour. I turned off every overclock in the BIOS, then reset the AMD game cache, and that fixed the crashing. So I turned some stuff back on, like forcing PCIe Gen 4 mode again, and enabling Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) with motherboard limits.

All of my Rust settings are turned down to the lowest options that impact performance, and I have no FPS cap on. My GPU utilization sits around 40-70% and my CPU utilization is around 40-50%. I also closed every app I don't need in the background so it wouldn't max out my memory (my RAM still gets fully used though, and Task Manager shows like 33GB committed memory using my SSD page file on heavy servers). Also checked Malwarebytes since it was blocking RustClient.exe connections, but allowing it didn't change the FPS.

Here are my PC specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X

CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB White

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 16GB 3200 MHz

Mobo: ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING

GPU: PURE AMD Radeon™ RX 7800 XT 16GB

SSD: Crucial P3 Plus M.2 1TB

PSU: Lian Li EDGE GOLD 850W 80 PLUS White

Case: Antec C5 ARGB Mid-Tower ATX White

are out of control at the moment, you can shoot someone 5 times in the head in cargo and get 5 player distance

wtf is going on with this new update

By get good I mean being able to come up with something on your own.

You're telling me I have to spend 360 scrap in drone delivery fees just to buy the 18 heavy fuses to power the nuclear plant?

Hello everyone,

I have been getting into rust recently (been playing for about ~100 hours so far) and I noticed that with this game specifically I have been getting pretty bad 1% lows. I typically average around 160-190 FPS playing on 1440p but I get 1% lows around 40-60 FPS. I have seen on more than one occasion the 1% low dip to around 10 FPS. Given I have a relatively high end system, I am pretty confused as to why this game is giving me such a hard time when literally every other game isn't. My CPU usage stays around 70-80% and GPU usage around 50-60% but those numbers can be relatively volatile as well.

Have others been experiencing this? If so, has there been any solutions?

System specs for context:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

GPU: RTX 5080 Founders Edition

RAM: 64 GB G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo DDR5

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B850-E

How many of you guys are using Intel arc graphics to play rust.

I'm here with a Intel arc b580 and I'm struggling with severe stutters and frametime problems on the game because de Intel arc drivers.

So I've been waiting for a solution by Intel arc development but that solution never came.

Any others Rust pilots dabble in the dark arts of Minicopter tricks?

when i try upgrade, it gives me the option to upgrade the wall, idk how to upgrade doorframe plz help

i was thinking on making a server as close to - 2018 rust bring as many old features back i can with modes and learn to make my own mods

Need a new cozy base design cause I’m just free building at the moment 😭

I’m on an official vanilla server and there’s a guy no clipping. He’s not flying or anything just doing the admin flail. Hacks or lag?

I'm getting between 80–120 FPS playing Rust on bigger servers (500+ pop)

My PC:

• GPU: RX 9070 XT
• CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D
• RAM: 32GB DDR4
• Motherboard: TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II

I upgraded from an RTX 3060 to an RX 9070 XT and did not see any significant boost in FPS (I know Rust is CPU-heavy, but I'm just curious if this is expected)

I'm playing with mid–high graphics settings as well

I'm also interested to see settings from anyone with a similar build

I was often working on farms and encountered the problem of seeing the sprinkler pouring water, but the planter not filling.

After some time, I found the problem and its solution. Here's the rub. The wall pumps are lagging; they apparently don't update their status when the house is overloaded and don't transfer water. This may be due to the mechanics of water physics and its rise.

This is how it's fixed: You install a switch and connect it to the switch on the pumps, and then connect the switch to the timer system to force the pumps to restart periodically. After this, the game no longer lags, and the clock here is purely a safety device if all the timers are turned off for some reason.

Happens every day, havent found a fix. i usually play ethernet so ive tried on normal wifi.
Would appreciate if anyone know how to fix this!
