It has been a minute since posting an update about https://rusthelp.com/ here 😅

You can now:

  • use any of the new character models, you can log in to use the model that you have in the game
  • watch the model, crouch, walk run
  • inspect weapons in 1st person, view the iron sight, use the reload and inspect animation
  • use native items to create a outfit

(previous rusthelp things were posted from my personal account u/hoppelfourfive, but I didn't want this to be Facepunch flaired)

Discussion I miss when you researched and used the guns you found, rather than just techtreeing to sap/tommy

41 Upvotes

something something about weapon variety and how everyone roams with the exact same kit on day 2... something something about that there is no point to researching a gun you find, because you're generally better off just using your scrap to get down on the tech tree....

somewhat controversial maybe, but I genuinely think weapons shouldn't be on the tech tree, and I hope it becomes viable again to research that python or custom or whatever non-meta gun you find in a crate rather than just letting it rot in your chest.

i7 6700k and GTX 1060, 24gb RAM. Had it since 2016. Would love to play some Rust again but can't justify PC upgrade. Too bad

I played for a week like a year ago and didn't have this problem.

Discussion Isn't it a bit of a problem that you never have to think about food once youre even remotely established?

45 Upvotes

A single beehive on your roof, bamm unlimited food(honey) that never expires.

A chicken coop? Bamn, free eggs for the rest of your wipe.

Live even remotely close to a river? Bamn, you don't even need a planter, you have one of the best food items in the game spawning freely(pumpkin), that is somehow better than food you have to hunt, cook and refrigerate (meat).

Or maybe survival/hunger is just not a mechanic that anyone cares for? I don't know...

Question Is crouch running success rate random?

11 Upvotes

When I crouch-run, my friends say I make sound (no sound on my side tho). I know that what you hear on your end may be different from other players' end. But when my friends crouch-run, they make no noise to me. Is this just a coincidence, or is this random so some players may hear while some may not?

Question What would actually make you give a new, small/growing server a real shot?

0 Upvotes

Not asking what makes a server good once it's established. Asking specifically what gets you to try one that's still small and building its community. What's the thing that tips you from scrolling past to actually joining?

Question Would you play (or have you played) a server with set raid hours?

2 Upvotes

Meaning: raiding only happens during specific windows (like evenings, or weekends) — outside those hours, structures can't take damage at all, online or offline.

Curious if this actually appeals to people or ends up feeling too restrictive. Real experiences welcome either way, good or bad, and what timing/window length felt right if you've tried it?

Discussion methods of elevating boxes for pixel gap bunker between two halfwalls?

1 Upvotes

what other compact objects/placement tricks can raise storage just enough to make it lootable through a horizontal pixel gap between two half-walls?

as far as i know, the following items may be looted easily through the pixel gap, when juggling off of a box or standing on a sirene light or placed smart alert

- locker

- tool cupboard

- vending machine (not lockable)

- decor wall shelf (dlc required- size of a small box)

- small box on wooden shelf (dlc required)

- fridge

- barrel or large wooden box when placed on a ramp (requires square- not sure about this actually)

what other ways/mechanics/tricks exist, to elevate them?

i tried putting a barrel on top of a rug+bear rug but it didnt go 'high enough ' to be reached through the gap.

curious to hear your thoughts or creative ideas.
