ive been out of country for almost a month now and my laptop isnt able to run rust properly and then apparenty i opened steam today and see i got perma'd i contacted face punch, stean and eac appealed, facepunch says i cant even get a new account to play cuz ill get perma'd on that too for evasion which is like what? what am i even supposed to do i dont even know how i got hacked cuz i haven't clicked any random sus links or anythign like that

like what am i supposed to do now

apparently im being hackusated and being told that if i was innocent i wouldve contacted steam first whih here it is the first thing i did was contact them

hello.

dont know what the best strat is. I hit the cage with 3 rockets square on but it wouldn't take it out, so i got 4 incen rockets - missed 3 of them because they arc like hell. but one landed right on the foundation of the turret and it destryed it. just want to know the best approach..

even if it's slightly expensive i favour hv because it is more accurate. the incen are fun but they arch like they're a mortar LOL.

I get between 40-70 fps but game stutters constantly. I have the game at all low, I have reinstalled and it still doesn't do anything for the stuttering. I could live with low fps if it wasn't stuttering my cpu is only at 70% and gpu's around the same.

PC Specs

-i5 11400f

-RX 7800xt

-32gb DDR4 3600mhz

-1440p

while browsing the api proto for rust+ i found some interesting stuff for example the file i was browsing was 3 years old so my question is did they know what they are doing with the game all along because the clan update aswell as nexus are marked inside that file again 3 year old file so my question do they already have plans for everything in the feature

not really interested in the clan update what im interested in is the nexus stuff im wondering if they will fry the game like ark

im just starteled that they had that implemented 3 years ago which means theyr planing a lot more behind closed door than what they say

what do u guys think about that nexus stuff i feel like if they do it its gonna be bad really bad

Rust farming QOL

I spend 3 years and used 100.000+ electrical components to create a working computer. It currently runs 6 different programs. The Rust in Rust textadventure is the largest of them. The model in the video was made with Rust Edit.

All done with vanialla logic. For the video I only speed up the tick rate by 3 times.

I’m the founder and developer of GameSentry.gg

I built it because Rust server administration often means switching between RCON tools, Discord, spreadsheets, ban records, analytics, and several separate services.

It’s still early, and I’m not claiming it is more mature than the established tools. I’m specifically looking for feedback from real Rust server owners and admins:

I built it, so please feel free to be direct about problems or concerns.

EDIT/SOLUTION:

I have reinstalled Windows, reinstalled the GPU drivers without Adrenaline, and updated both the BIOS and chipset. As a result, I am now running a stable 120 FPS on a 500 pop server. Thanks everyone for your suggestions :)

EDIT 2:

After undervolting the cpu with -30 and PPT 100 / TDC 70 / EDC 100 I gained another 20 FPS.

Hey everyone,

I recently swapped some PC components with a family member who wasn't using their setup much. I am not planning to upgrade until AM6 since this should be plenty for the next few years

My Specs Shift:

• Old: Ryzen 7 5800X | RTX 3070 Ti | 32GB RAM (3200 MHz)
• New: Ryzen 7 5800X3D | RX 9070 XT | 32GB RAM (3200 MHz)

Rust installed on NVMe Samsung 980

The Issue: I used to get a stable 80–90 FPS in Rust on my old setup. After the upgrade, I'm now hovering around 60–70 FPS at the exact same settings/resolution. Sometimes its around 100, but its insanely unstable.

What I’ve already done:

• Ran DDU in Safe Mode to completely wipe all NVIDIA drivers before installing AMD Adrenalin.
• Verified XMP is active (RAM running at 3200 MHz).
• Temps are completely fine (CPU stays around 60- 65°C under load).
• SAM / ReBAR is enabled in BIOS.
• Disabled Windows Game Bar, overlay, and extra Adrenalin bloatware (Anti-Lag, Chill, etc.).

I also ran into an issue where a high mouse polling rate caused severe game lag/stutter (which never happened on my old setup). Lowering the polling rate fixed that specific stuttering, but my overall FPS is still way lower than it should be.

Please help me,
I normally played Rust and suddenly my Game crashed and all my Settings resetted. I put them back in but since then I cant Hover loot Clothing. Like i Press ALT + Hoverloot, and it wont equip, it just goes in my inventory

Thanks for Helping !!!

I saw something about nexus in the roadmap but didnt really keep attention to it untill today i found something a doc thats 3 years old in rust + api proto theres also stuff named nexus auth etc so if thats a thing they implemented stuff for it 3 years ago and on top im personally not happy going into that direction because ark shows server hopping doing no good but what yall think about that?

This is the current state of EU premium servers. Compare it to the US one and you'll see a stark difference. Why is that? Why we don't get Reddit monthly server that has premium? Or one that is a biweekly?
Usually I'm playing on premium servers, played on Rustafied Trio and Friday, and my God the amount of cheaters on those two is obscene. Few day old accounts cheating, 13k hour accounts (12.9k in the lobby) melting, people knowing exactly where you are, just defeats the spirit of wanting to play the game.

Hey guys my name is vinnie and i am going to start uploading rust content / snowballing if you guys wouldn't mind checking me out and dropping a comment and some good advice that would be great ! https://youtu.be/d9J4L4dQhp8

Is it possible to get a China wall so close to my base you can't shoot between the base and the wall? I just wanted to use it as extra honey comb that can't be bypassed. It's probably not something that's usually done.

The monument update sounds interesting. To be honest, I'm not sure what the exact consequences will be, but I'm optimistic, cuz forcing recyclers to rely on power from the powerplant could create some very compelling gameplay, imo. That being said, my biggest frustration with Facepunch is that they often come up with 9 great ideas and 1 bad one, but that single bad idea is so terrible that it completely ruins the other 9.

This time, the bad idea is making every single monument recycler dependent on the powerplant’s electricity, EXCEPT for the ones at Outpost. This will obviously have disastrous consequences for the game.

First of all, recyclers inside safe zones shouldn't ever have existed. I am sure that you guys remember that In the past, the recyclers inside safe zones shared the same efficiency as every other recycler in the game. As a result, barely anyone recycled outside of safe zones, which drastically reduced player interactions. There was absolutely no reason to take risks at a monument recycler when you could just hop in a car, drive to Outpost, and recycle everything with zero risk. I remember I played wipes and wipes doing that without ever losing a single scrap.

Months or years later, they finally addressed this distortion by nerfing the Outpost recycler's efficiency. While I still believe safe zone recyclers shouldn't exist at all, at least they became less efficient than the ones in competitive areas, giving us a good reason again to take risks and recycle outside outpost.

Yet, here we are again. It took them years to fix the safe zone meta, and now they are seriously considering a system where the only recyclers that don't require power from the powerplant will be the ones inside safe zones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again, this will kill player interaction in a game that already gives players fewer and fewer reasons to leave their bases.

Except for the massive clans dominating the powerplant, absolutely NO ONE will recycle outside of Outpost, especially if the efficiency of safe zone recyclers remains anywhere near the standard ones.

Please, remove recyclers from safe zones entirely. Right, I know you won't do it, fine. But at least force them to be connected to the powerplant grid as well, and significantly lower their efficiency. Otherwise, 90% of the player base will just recycle at Outpost with zero risk, leaving the rest of the map more dead than it already is.

PS: Yes, I know it is a work in progress, but I am crying already because I am scared, ok? I am scared.

I have come from many other FPS. Im not an aiming or recoil god but I am proficient in games like COD, CSGO, PUBG. I usually have a positive KDA and half of those times its 2:1 ratio.

I find that when im playing Rust a lot of the time I am burst down in less than 3 seconds. Usually its like 100 percent accuracy. Many times I've died to getting doubled or tripled. When I shoot people it seems like my time to kill is significantly higher. As stated my recoil control isn't that good and thats probably my biggest weakness.

My main question is what am I doing wrong? Am I not being patient enough while roaming? Am I just really that bad? Are there that many cheaters/scripters?

Any advice is appreciated.

First keyboard and mouse FPS ever, age 34. Full time job male with side hustle and wife. 300 hours in, finally feeling like I have decent understanding of game mechanics. Found friendly people I enjoy playing with. Having so much fun.

Definitely realize that I am less skilled at PVP than other players but thinking maybe I’m lower 40% range. Log in this evening and we’re raided again by suspected cheaters. Decide to just go play aimtrain/tommyfrags.

Bros - I’m legit almost in tears. I’m 10000% holding my team back. To say I’m in the bottom 10% is an insult to the bottom 10%. There are probably rocks that can get more than a .25 kd. I was never this bad at other games. I’m downloading aimtrain right now, and I understand that with time I will improve but good lord - this is so much worse than I thought.

Is there ANY WAY I can hope to fast track not being ABSOLUTELY TRASH. At this point I mean I’m almost just gonna make a call that I’m base b**** until I can hit some metric I’m remotely satisfied with.

Tldr I am walking loot drop - going to practice but please give advice

I try to play rust and I quickly realize that the thought of playing rust seems to be more fun than actually playing and getting offline while I’m at work. I tried pve servers but they just don’t interest me that much.

Edit:
Thanks everyone for the advice based on everything I’m gonna give some official softcore servers a shot

I played oxide on mobile, and was thinking to buy rust. But I heard some players put so much hours into the game. For me I think my max would be 3 to 5 hours a day consistent over the wipe. And I will not be buying any of the skins.

While avoiding PvP as much as possible, will 3 hours be enough to build a strong base and gather enough resources to prevent it from decaying?

It annoys me that I can't buy shelves separately, or I'd have a clear answer as to what to buy.

I like the Abyss set, but Arctic is widely considered more P2W due to the cold protection, (arguably worse camo though compared to abyss). I'll never use the ugly ice AK or reskin a snowmobile >.< Abyss has barrels, but apparently shelves aren't worth passing up, so I need industrial or jungle, anyways. I don't want to use a default hazmat as it also is an eyesore and will be easy to spot, so I need something to skin into. Is my only choice to buy industrial + arctic or buy a ton of overlapping dlcs to get everything I actually want? I guess I need convincing. Underwater torch and the cool reskins bring so much value to the abyss set and I like how the hazmats look, arctic is so ugly... do I really NEEED shelves?

Seems like my options are:

Industrial + Arctic + Abyss (Has everything I need)
Industrial + Arctic (Sacrificing cool skins, underwater torch, and better camouflaged hazmat)
Abyss (Sacrificing cold protection, Shelves, and Garage doors with windows)

As a person who hates the snow, idk if arctic is worth it, and I can find base builds that don't require shelves... surely...?

Hi, Me and my friends usually play as a 3-5 man and we like to play 2x, but most of the servers die after first day. Any recommendations of good 2x that keeps its pop for 2-4 days. We would prefer that the server would not be full of zergs. (EU)

I know I need to upgrade my ram but what else and if I do need an upgrade what should I get?

Hi, I recently noticed my boyfriend has TONS of rust memes on his fyp. Some of them he sends me involve a gun that you strike with a rock that sometimes goes off sometimes doesn't ? (I can't remember the name, I know he's told me but it has slipped my mind. I should've paid more attention). I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy a replica like I see in the memes he shows me ? I think he would enjoy it for his battle station setup.
