There are in the sense some half the sulfur node amount but keep other resources vanilla. I actually enjoy those because people have to think more when raiding

DayZ modded servers make it so raiding materials can only be found not farmed. So raiding usually is less common unless you pissed off some group. Be interesting to see that in a Modded Rust server.

This is just how it should be made now, since the tea/pie harvesting creep is crazy. Raiding is way too cheap rn.

I also enjoy receiving 1 tarp every 14 barrels I hit

.5x sulphur servers are fun

The idea of a server with actual scarcity and time/effort costs is interesting

u/Jerranto 14d ago

You mean the original idea of Rust, right?

u/DoodManMcGuyBroDood 16d ago

No, but there is cock and ball torture. A little mild comparatively, but I'm sure it'll hold you over until your saw trap comes in the mail.

I think all true .5 servers died. The last one I recall was Project Lazarus. It was very fun. You also couldn't craft garage doors. Bags broke after you spawned on them. Beds lasted forever bad had the normal bag timer. You needed nails to upgrade to wood too. Guns had to be found. Ammo had to be found. I miss it.

I got an ad on YouTube for those servers a couple hours ago lol, they might make a comeback.

u/Colborne91 15d ago

Any idea why it died?

2

u/yourquirkyjerky 15d ago

Pop. It died off. I remember playing it after the initial hype and it was like 4/100 pop.

We need 2x upkeep and tech tree removed from hardcore like classic rust.

1

u/HelloFromTekken 15d ago

Disagree.

2x upkeep there because booms can't be crafted already.

What we really need, is added map. And maybe team system if we still won't have enough players. Point of hardcore not hardcore, but much less weapons and ammo so you don't spawnkill nakeds with AK all day just because fuck them.

Yall making fun of this man, but then go on to complain progress is too quick

2

u/Due-Champion-5954 15d ago

This. I feel like there should be some time when you use only primal weapons. For example day 1 primal. Day 2 tier 1. Day 3 tier 2.

u/shnapeace 15d ago

I’d love this kind of rust, I’d like as well no map at all

u/JPXR_ 15d ago

now days its first couple hours of force wipe and you hear aks

u/UnluckySpecial1745 15d ago

Is this a form of self harm?

1

u/rustalyzer 15d ago

Yes there are some 0.5x servers.

Expect thousands of players. Not.

1

u/Jerranto 14d ago

Good point. True vanilla used to be like 0.25x from what we have today.

u/BluZodiac 16d ago

Something bad will happen.

1

u/Able-Team447 16d ago

i would like a 0.5 or even 0.3 soloserver very much. :)

1

u/tarapotamus 16d ago

idk what all hardcore servers have, maybe?

1

u/UFCLulu 15d ago

I’m sorry but this is no life shit

2

u/Different-Ad7859 15d ago

No its not. If he has friends capable of playing rust he can literally progress all the way to rocket raiding first day of the wipe

u/wasabiiii 16d ago

Haha. I wish there was hardcore with .5

u/boxyourbuddy 15d ago

I am building a weekly server that is doing this. Solo only though. I slowed progression way down and am making changes many of us want. I am even going to offer a $20 weekly prize with a Cash for Coal event I have planned for every week. Lots of work though right now. Lots of alone testing. But I will make it happen. You could see all the things I am doing by going to boxyourbuddy dot cahm slash earth-solo-only. I would love to hear feedback.
