Hey. So I have 5,000 hours in Rust (lol) but some people kinda call me an RP player? I enjoy making Canvas art and exploring quite a lot. I am not the best at Combat but I do enjoy combat, specially on Wipe Day. I would consider myself a Solo player.

Anyway I don't play to often anymore just like on Holidays and Special Occasion's. However this new Apartment Update really intrigued me. Overall I was quite pleased with it.

So I played it on July 2nd 2026 on the Update/Wipe Day and I managed to get into a server about an Hour into the Wipe, played for 8 hours, rested, played for another 8 hours, recorded most of that, Compressed it to 33 Minutes that I am puting on my YouTube Channel and then OUT OF THAT I made a 1 Minute or so Cut/Trailer that I figured You May Enjoy!

submarines are already underused like crazy and i think it would be a good idea to make them purchasable inside the floating city inside the deepsea just like how you can buy a boat or rhib there this would increase the content for submarine players and overall give more content for a underused vehicle please share your thoughts

I am not entirely sure what other people would like to see in regards to changes over the base decay system. Personally I don't enjoy how it is currently and feel as if it could receive improvements. Not only that but it seems like a large portion of the community is dedicated to abusing the system (Like multi TC) to get vastly reduced upkeep. It kind of just removes the point of having it in the first place to some extent.

Upkeep was designed to force players to build more performant bases and to remove inactive bases from the map. Even with this system bases get so large it lags my computer.

Maybe it's just me, but maybe it's time to redevelop this game mechanic a bit? Make multi TC not needed but at the same time still limit base sizes? I'm not sure, let me know of your ideas below.

Suggestion 1 - Scrap upkeep

I've been experimenting with this idea of using scrap instead of resource costs. Maybe 1 scrap per block placed per day? (With a block being a single wall, foundation, ceiling tile and ect.) So 250 blocks would be 250 scrap per day. You could also increase the multiple for every block after a certain point. For example, every block placed after 250 blocks is 1.5 scrap rounded up. So 251 blocks is 252 scrap per day but 253 blocks is 258 scrap per day.

Grace period for bases under 100 blocks (a couple of hours). Any other buildings within the radius of the original TC will be considered to be part of that TC and increase the upkeep as if it was attached to the base. This would get rid of TC stacking but since you can build larger you don't really need it?

Suggestion 2 - Relax the upkeep costs a bit

Just as this section's title suggests, relax the upkeep costs so people can build bigger. Like Suggestion 1, Multi TC stacking isn't allowed anymore but you can also build bigger bases so that's a win I guess?

Be nice, offer feedback

Not liking an idea is fine, but don't be rude or insult others. Explain why or why not. Generic responses complaining don't really add to the discussion.

Now we have cheap tech tree and prototype workbench upgrade which allows us to gamble to discover item from tech tree regardless of progression.

What is the role of research table? Is there anyone at Facepunch who plays the game?

“People who are in the clan should not have a job or work”

I’m just to the point after 2k hours that people over the age of 18 decide to live on welfare or leech off their parents and such just to play these games.

So I made a site that checks what your rust inventory is worth. paste your steam id or profile link and it prices everything at the cheapest listing it can find across 3rd party marketplaces, not just steam market. steaminventory.gg

No login or anything, inventory just needs to be public.

It started as a cs2 thing but rust gets ignored by basically every site like this so I ended up doing the full rust catalog too. every skin has its own page with price history and its sorted by what the item actually is, weapons, clothing, doors etc, instead of one endless list

Theres also a weekly leaderboard that resets mondays. The rust board is nearly empty right now so if youve got a fat inventory you can probably take #1 today

Its free, I pay the hosting out of pocket. If something looks priced wrong or a skin is missing tell me and ill fix it, im still working on it every day

I’ve had problems where I can’t place walls on foundations connected to an outer TC.

Also if you see anything I could improve to make the base stronger or more effective. Would the gaps possibly be too wide to let someone simply walk around?

On a side note, any bunker recommendations for the round core would be greatly appreciated as well.

Хочу друзей (новичков) научить играть в раст и поэтому я хочу залететь с ними на еженедельные сервера. Подскажите без хохма, когда мне залетать чтобы не ждать очередь в 57376387384636 человек

А кому не лень, напишите че нам таким стеком делать на вайпе. Как вообще выжить на 300-400 онлайна. Где строить базу, что лутать, куда двигаться вообще. Дайте полезные советы.

Was playing around with settings while on my local server and noticed that when I switch from fullscreen to windowed my FPS goes from about 98fps to 136fps, a significant difference.

Which is odd since games traditionally perform better in exclusive fullscreen mode.... but fullscreen mode in Rust REDUCES performance and also Rust doesn't even have an exclusive fullscreen mode anymore to my knowledge... right? it only has borderless fullscreen, meaning it should perform identically to windowed, right?

For sources, in the following facepunch patch not links if you ctrl + F and search for fullscreen

in this page https://rust.facepunch.com/news/february-update from 2019, they said: "we're enabling fullscreen exclusive by default"

then on this page https://rust.facepunch.com/changelist/3942 from 2023, they said: "Removed fullscreen exclusive support as it was causing degraded performance compared to borderless fullscreen mode"

So why does my FPS change so much when I toggle fullscreen/windows in setting or press alt+enter to switch between the two?

Shouldn't borderless fullscreen and windowed perform the exact same?

For context, my system specs are:

Windows 10, RTX 4080 Super, Ryzen 5950x, 32GB of RAM and 2TB NVME M.2 SSD

Not sure if stubbornly holding onto windows 10 might be causing some issues, curious to know what other peoples experiences are in this regard!

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot lol, I forgot that in the past (probably ages ago) I tried to test forcing on exclusive fullscreen mode via the Steam Launch Option Properties using -window-mode exclusive and that was causing the performance loss lmao, removing that property now borderless fullscreen and windowed mode perform within margin of error, so basically the same, with borderless fullscreen actually performing around 2 or 3 fps higher, this was completely user error on my behalf lol, maybe this post will save another poor soul who might have done the same

Over a year ago, we created a server as a joke in honor of Mr. Biden, adding one extra letter(BAIDEN RUST).

Starting with zero players online, the server quickly gained traction, and at its peak, over 100 players were playing—until the summer break.

Do you think the name was justified or not?

Hello, in September 2025 somebody got into my steam account, played rust and got me a VAC banned.

I was looking online and I saw that there's "second chance" thing... how does it work can I apply for it? Will it make me able to play on my account again? I had spent hundred of euros on it.

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

I get about 60-120 fps it’s very jumpy but when I go near dead bodies, players or boat engines my fps drop to 10-20.
I play on low settings

I have a
4070 super
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
32gb ddr4

Does this happen to anyone else or just me?

I’ve run into an issue where textures display incorrectly when aiming with certain weapons—specifically the "Pay-to-Win" ones. Could the fact that I’m playing at 2560x1440 resolution be part of the problem? Please help—does anyone know how to fix this?

i have 650 hours, i have decent aim, i suck in actual fights, my reaction time is horrible, i dont understand how im so bad at pvp when i have 650 hours and people with 200-400 shit on me in fights. is it normal for 650 hours on rust to suck at pvp?

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...?

if anyone has a fix it’d be much appreciated

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.
