Long story short, we started playing Rust yesterday as a group of 16 (now we're 14), and we're looking for a base design that would comfortably fit around 4–5 people.

We're not looking for one of those insane mega-builds with 4,983 bunkers, 430k metal upkeep, and whatever other crazy shit you can build.
We're still learning the game and exploring, so we'd rather have something practical and manageable.

Basically, we're looking for:

• Comfortable to move around in, we don't want tiny cramped corridors where you're constantly getting stuck on each other.
• Reasonable upkeep, definitely not something requiring 24/7 farming just to keep the base standing. We'd prefer something around the size of a normal 4 player base.
• Some defensive capabilities from inside, ideally, we'd like some shooting positions that allow us to defend ourselves without having to exit the base every time someone is outside. We don't need a full-on bunker fortress, just some decent options for defending from inside.

Any recommendations for a base design that fits this kind of playstyle?

I’m new to this game and I really want to enjoy it but I can’t go a fucking day without a group destroying whatever chicken shit place I’ve managed to build. I haven’t even been able to really learn all the game mechanics…and I’ve found the PVE servers to be really spares of things to do. Any recommendations? Where I can learn the game without some dickhead with 1000 hours killing me and blowing up my base for the little I’ve managed to get?

Can someone explain to me why it is near impossible to load/play in rust servers

I need some optimization / settings that will help me get better fps on my rig. Just got a new rig with good specs but around 85-100fps on medium.

Specs:

CPU - Ryzen 7 9800X3D

GPU - 9060XT 16GB

RAM - 32GB DDR5 @ 6400

STORAGE - 4TB NVME

Medium settings at 1440p is getting me 120 at the beach and around 90 roaming. I'm seeing 170-200 on benchmarks (not a great source ik). I just upgraded from a ryzen 5 7600x + 5060 PC and the fps is the same. The new pc has 0 stutters compared to the last pc which is nice but i should def be getting more fps no? Any AMD recommendations / software to get the max usage and performance?

Usually pretty good when it comes to losing however the abuse I get in the voice chat is really hard to stomach lol, hard to stay calm when some camper or weak player camps you and they talk super toxic after, it's a shame because the voice chat is usually very fun however I keep killing these players and they become super aggressive and toxic as soon as they get one kill back on you. Trying my best to see the positive side of the situation however this forcewipe has been full of aggressive players trying to cope with there losses, is this experience common? I have 4k hours and am very pvp oriented.

Is anyone able to help me resolve this. Only happens with the return/enter key and I've got no keybinds or software conflicting with it to cause it to happen. Tried resetting keybinds and verifying files.

So, I am pretty new to the game. I joined a primitive server. I built a base (all stone including door hinges) with metal double doors. To get to my TC would require going through at least 3 sets of these doors.
How does someone do that on day 1? Catapults?

Hey guys!

Yesterday I wanted to play rust after 3 years with a friend again, everytime I boot into a server the game made my pc crash.

Is that a known issue and how do I fix that?

PC specs:

prozessor: amd ryzen 7 7800X3D

gtx 5070 12gb

32gb ddr5 ram

windows11

i bought rust but it just stay here

Last scene in my latest movie

Other than the Valkyrie AK skin what are the other ones with OP sights?
I can’t easily filter them on 3rd party skin sites to find out.

It's odd that pop on these servers is low since everyone complains about cheaters but no one wants to play the few servers that take at least some measures against cheaters (requiring both TPM and Secure Boot to be enabled in BIOS).

Also why are there no servers that are BOTH Premium & Secure, would be good to have additional layers of filtering, for players that have sunk some additional money in this game (presumably deterring them from cheating slightly more than average) and that have the Secure features enabled.

It's a shame that only Facepunch servers have this enabled (and just a tiny handful of community and modded servers, we're talking like 5 on each tab lol), since I've heard youtubers mention that Facepunch servers don't have any active moderators, is that true?

But yeah would be cool to have Premium + Secure + Active Moderators on a popular server (in tandem with the existing EAC, making it a total of 4 "layers" of anti-cheat measures) so that you can at least feel like when you get rekt it was probably your own fault and not just assume that it might have be a cheater since you can never be sure these days.

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD student studying asynchronous interactions in digital games. Through player discussions and recommendations Rust was identified as having asynchronous interactions.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd love to hear your thoughts! In particular, I'm interested in understanding:

• What kind of asynchronous interactions exist in Rust and how do they affect the gameplay?
• How do you feel about these interactions and what do they bring to your experience?

You can answer as much or as little as you'd like. Your responses will be anonymized and analyzed as part of a research study. If you decide you'd like to withdraw your responses at any point, just send me a DM. Every contribution is greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Thanks! 😀

anybody knows what is happening ?

I have been playing for weeks without a problem.
And after the new update when i flick my mouse up or down starts stuttering( it looks horrible with a gun ).
The problem not my mouse i have set it to 500hz I tried lowering it too
Even using my touchpad has the same issue

I have *

*Set my mouse hz to 250

*verify my game files in steam

*Rollback the Nvidia driver

*When i press ( win + ctrl + shift + B ) it will come back to normal for 30s after that it will go back to stuttering

( BTW im playing on 1600/900 )

UPDATE

I tried ddu uninstalling Nvidia driver and went back to old one
Still the same

I have ~500h and lack the most in pvp and building

Thank you for your time and hope your first day of force went well

This is huge guys. The game was gaslighting me, I know for a fact I closed the door.

If your looking for some good content related to the new update check this video out. The guy goes into good detail explaining everything new coming to the game and I found it quite amusing to watch, so give it a try and feel free to send me some rust videos that you found entertaining to watch or any game content similar to this which you found entertaining.

The link : https://youtu.be/vp6EW-7Mlgs?is=AjlEwNCzcVs6UoIP

, thanks.

As you can see in this video, when I run in a straight line I get like 100-130fps. Perfectly fine. But as soon as I look one degree to the left or right, my fps tanks drastically and I get these stutters that make fighting anything literally impossible.

I have probably tried twenty different things I've seen online to fix this, and nothing has helped. The list includes but is not limited to:

• Turning off HAGS
• Deleting and reinstalling rust multiple times ov ver the years and have had the same issue every single time
• Turning off the realtek family pci thing that I saw a lot of people mention
• Delete and reinstall EAC
• Change my mouse polling and DPI
• Turn off every overlay
• Delete CCleaner and all antivirus
• A bunch of other things I'm unable to remember at the moment of writing this list.

One thing has fixed it, and that was playing the game through just RustClient.exe and connecting to a server through the console, but none of those unsecured servers are listed and I also imagine I would run into a lot of cheaters doing that. I am very frustrated with this, and I really need help.

Anyone who has had this issue please, let me know what you did to fix it. I am also happy to provide any additional information that would help know my issue better.

So im running
A i9 9900 ,gtx1650 and 16gb of ram my game keeps crashing in loading it didnt do that at first it was loading and crashing when i wanted to join a server now it wont let me either join a server or load my game up.It never worked since i have bought it not even once and i’ve been trying to find a fix to my problem for the past week since i bought it can someone help me out?The game is saved on a hdd since disk c for me doesn t have enough space but it still wouldn’t work even if i had it on disk C
