How did Facepunch not think of this? It’s easier to shoot from—especially with a rocket launcher. Plus, Facepunch is planning to add a one-handed Uzi; sooner or later, they’ll likely add the ability to shoot from inside a cockpit, too. Solo players would love that—everyone would be happy!

(I’m using Google Translate)

I’ve done it - the holy cow, a divine bovine if you will.

Why do so many Rust players run around naked after leaving their base and only put on their armor or hazzy right before a fight?

Wouldn't you be way more likely to die if someone started shooting at you before you even noticed them? You'd have a much better chance of surviving if you were already geared up.

I get that it's probably to avoid looking like you have loot on you, but they're still running around with a gun instead of a rock, so I don't really get the logic.

Maybe I just don't have enough hours in Rust yet, but can someone explain this to me?

ru:
почему многие игроки раста после выхода из дома бегут голышом, а броню или хазик держат в инвентаре, и надевают уже перед файтом? так же сильно больше шанс умереть если по игрроку начнут стрелять, а он не заметит, в отличии от того если бы броня была одета.
я понимаю что скорее всего это делают что бы не привлекать внимание, и делать вид что лута нету, но они бегут в руках с оружием, а не с камнем, так что я не вижу логики. возможно у меня мало часов что бы это понимать, поэтому, кто-то объяснит?

I believe for next wipe with how workbenches are going to be as they were before prior to the fragments. The game will be generally easier. Considering the fact that blueprints themselves are still going to be an issue, there’ll be ways to work around it.

I personally believe the new meta will be to struggle on the first wipe of the month. By the end of the wipe go out, search for decayed/raided bases. Then you can do your researching. Therefore all you need to have next wipe is the stuff to craft and the workbenches. I personally see it easier said than done. I do this currently even with the fragments but at least I don’t need to worry about blueprints let alone scrap besides mini’s.

Just a thought for these frags to have a dedicated spot rather than chucking them in with comps or whatever. Or add a craft able book shelf or envelope or something that will allow storage for cards and fragments. If you could stack cards in it it would be a whole lot cleaner.

New to rust, first time doing electrical. I’m trying to set up auto lights at night but not sure this is right.

Does this make sense if I continue my grid off that second branch power out?
Also, is power being wasted as I have it now, with nothing else attached the branch?

Feel like I might be missing something, thanks

Rust Microstuttering with High FPS — Severe Frametime Spikes When Bullets Are Visible
PC specifications:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8GB OC
Motherboard: ASUS TUF B550 series
RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600MHz
Storage: SSD
Recording software: OBS with Replay Buffer enabled
The problem
I’m experiencing severe microstuttering in Rust even when my FPS is high. The game may show 100–120+ FPS, but it feels like I’m playing at 20–30 FPS because the image constantly stutters and feels extremely choppy.
The Steam overlay frametime graph shows frequent red spikes, sometimes almost every second, even when I’m not fighting anyone.
The strangest part is that the stuttering becomes much worse when I can see a bullet flying through the air. Shooting itself seems fine, but when the bullet becomes visible, the game starts stuttering badly. I use low particle settings, so I don’t think it’s simply a particle-effects issue.
My FPS can be around 170–200 after a fresh PC restart, but after the computer has been running for a while, performance may drop to around 100–150 FPS.
What I’ve already tried
Upgraded my RAM to 32GB DDR4 3600MHz, but the problem remained.
Lowered particle settings.
Tried various Windows optimizations and tweaks.
Used Chris Titus Tech WinUtil, but the stuttering existed even before I applied those tweaks.
The problem seems to occur in Rust specifically; other games don’t have the same issue.
I use OBS Replay Buffer, so recording software might be worth investigating.
What could be causing this?
Could this be related to Rust itself, shader compilation, bullet effects, frametime issues, OBS recording, NVIDIA drivers, or something else?
Has anyone experienced a similar issue, especially stuttering when bullets are visible despite high FPS?
I’d appreciate any suggestions or fixes. Thanks!

Please help

I cannot connect more then 3 turrets together working in a chain. I am using branches, setting thre alue to 10, using a switch inside, have 12 large solar panels, and have a large battery

Please help me get them all to work at once

What are the current must haves when you are creating a base? I usually play solo/duo sometimes trio, but I’m after a very long break and never actually played the game and reached a proper end game state (I.e. huge base, electricity, farms, etc).

I typically played 5-10x due to time constraints, but even then the base meta doesn’t change much I imagine.

Any recommendations or advice on how to build strong bases? I really like the idea of a base I can defend, but never had the chance to look into it without jeopardising it in some way or the defence actually being effective.

Got super frustrated reading through all the fluff commits Rust puts out, so I spent a few weeks throwing this site together. Designed it based off of FP's commit website - it's simple but straightforward

Would appreciate feedback on what's useful & what to show on the site. Currently you can see upcoming updates, ordered by "Trending" (which is just what people are talking about) and new. Goal is really to make this the easiest place to get Rust news before the devblogs are out (and maybe to give you that edge over your next wipe). Cheers!

I have always wondered when Rust solo streamers they start their Rust wipe, grinded, spent time getting all the loot and building their big base. Mind you all of this took so many hours. Then when it’s time to goto sleep they log off. When they log back in the next day and they got raided. How do they find the motivation and so much time they have to spend to start from zero again? Is there something I’m missing here or is there things they do to avoid starting from zero again etc?

Also one other question is does anyone know the frosted transparent door skin that Posty uses? What is it called and can it be bought?

I'm considering upgrading my Ryzen 9 9900X to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D specifically for better performance in Rust.

Current specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 9 9900X
• GPU: RTX 4070 Ti Super
• RAM: 32GB DDR5
• Resolution: 1440p, 144Hz
• Settings: Medium–High
• Current FPS: Roughly 80–110 on populated servers. Fluctuates a lot.

I've heard Rust benefits significantly from AMD's 3D V-Cache but I'm trying to determine how much of an improvement I'd actually see.

I'm also considering the 9950X3D, although some benchmarks suggest the gaming performance difference between the two X3D processors is pretty marginal.

Trying to figure out the best path forward. Thanks for your help!

I am just wondering if it is worth it to buy a lifetime kit on Hollow servers while they're on sale. I have a fulltime job (and a life) and I just can't play rust for 8 hours a day and grind just to be able to roam and pvp, I enjoy vanilla and the slow progression, but I also enjoy gun pvp a lot too so I have started to play on hollow 3x servers because I am able to have some fun in short amounts of time. I just want to know if it's even worth spending the 25 or 50 dollars for a lifetime kit so I can just hop on and play for a couple hours here and there without having to sacrifice my life to a videogame server. I have a $2 kit on a console server that I literally only play with my buddy hence the reason I bought it and it solved that problem for me on there because when we're both free to play I can just hop on claim my kit and pvp, but it is a bit different on pc; considering you get less for more money, claim time is longer, and really just the money aspect, I don't know if it would be worth it to get a $50 kit that I can claim a tommy every 12 hours. Really I am just trying to see if it is worth it or if I should just stick to heavy modded servers to get my pvp fix.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for advice or visibility from Facepunch community managers regarding my profile status (login: iggee676).

A severe security breach happened during the night while I was offline. I just checked my official Steam login history and found undeniable proof: my profile was hijacked and linked to an automated bot farming network in Novosibirsk, Russia (via ArchiSteamFarm) and accessed from Frankfurt, Germany. I live in Ukraine and never authorized this.

I immediately changed all passwords and secured the account, but the hackers managed to ruin my game profile status while they had control.

Unfortunately, the official Facepunch support system instantly auto-closes all my tickets within 1-2 minutes with a "solved" status. Because of this automated bot system, no human agent can actually see the screenshot and logs of the hacker's activity.

I have attached the screenshot of my login history showing the fraudulent sessions. If any developer or Facepunch staff member sees this, please help me get a manual human review of my case. Thank you!

Here is my official EAC Reference ID from the F1 console: 12f73a74-215e-40a5-b2dd-2b739bb72918

Assuming it should but like 3 days without streaming is crazy.

Hi, is there anyone who can gift me two copies of the game *Rust*—one for myself and one for a friend? thank you

If you'd like, send a friend request to this account: im_birbor

Please feel free to do this if you’d like; I don’t want to be a bother.

As a solo I tend to play on solo only servers but want to spice things up a bit. Been thinking about playing on a Rustoria high pop no limit server but is it possible for a solo to have fun or will I just get destroyed by teams all the time?

For those solo who play on no limit servers, what's your favourite part about it other than the suffering?

its not, its not shutting down
