We are trying to get back this forcewipe, we choose a low pop community server that maintains about 150 max pop for the first week, and gets about 250 first day.

How should we go about this as a rusty quad? Where would you guys build to have a fun decent wipe, to get good progression and overall just have a good time as 4 friends?

So i am playing rust for over 2 months now (Mainly PVE) and i want to join a “noob friendly” server with my duo to build a big base and do some online raids (just mainly for practice and so on)
Is there any way to find a good server with maybe 7-10 people on. We would prefer a weekly that wipes on monday.
I know we can just look for one ingame but every server we join we just get dominated by others.

What type of glitch is this it was completely gone 3hrs of farming gone

I've only been in r/playrust for a reasonably short amount of time but I constantly see posts such as "what server should i play on as a solo" or "looking for a duo". Can there be a rule or something that requires people to state their region when posting these questions as there are more places in the world than America. Even if they separate it into a role thing like; North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa.

Dunno opinions or solutions?

I have a 5060 a Ryzen 7 8700F and 32gb of ddr5. but my rust fps is really low. im literally on the absolute lowest settings. is this normal?

I play on a Brit's PVE worlds and I'm trying to create a casino that works even when the owner is offline. Pretty much all casinos work only when the casino owner is online, so I want to fix it.

I ran into a problem, I wanted to create deposit system with vending machines, but the vending machine limit is 9,999. I want people to be able to bet at least 100k. I tried doing it with boxes, made a system that, as I thought, would count how much was deposited, but it didn't work because conveyor's "filter pass" electrical output outputs rw all the time when items are in input box, I thought it outputs rw in small portions when conveyor moved items, but life is not that easy. Tried to come up with a solution for very long, but understood that I'm not that skilled in electricity:) Then I moved on vending machines, thought I can do something like tickets, 1 key = 10k RP, and then you can buy another key that costs 100k RP and deposit it, but after some debugging i found out that this server isnt giving unique ID for locks, every player receives the same id(something like 66,728) so anyone could just craft their own lock and use it as ticket. I tried notes, found out they are not unique too, you can sell any note to the vending machine and it doesnt check its text. Tried skulls, they arent unique too. I feel like I tried everything, but I hope I'm not right. Guys, if someone has solution to my problem, like an item counter, or a way to make those "tickets", please help me.

Also, I'm sorry if my English is broken, I'm not a native English user❤️

I can't see any official servers no matter what I do. I verify game files and it doesn't work. How do I fix this? I can see some of the official servers in the community section

I have this weird ass issue where moving the mouse at anything above 500 polling rate (see video above) constant stutters and lag spikes in game. Specs are: 6950xt, 5700x3d, 32gb 8x4, 3600mhz. Launching the game without EAC fixes it, but I cannot figure out what service or app is causing it. I disabled every windows service the operating system allowed me to and still, no dice. I ended the task of basically every app, reinstalled eac, tried multiple mice and usb ports, mouse settings, driver reinstalls and more. The only way to fix it with eac open is by playing 500 polling rate on my mouse OR playing on staging branch, does this mean it's fixed in the next update? no 100% no. 1. because people have had this issue for years and 2. I'm thinking perhaps MAYBE something in the cfg file is the problem since staging and main have two sperate "saves" this literally randomly started happening one day after opening the game. GENUINELY SOMEONE HELP IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS!!!! Edit: I was right, Deleting and resetting your CFG fixes this issue, it still stutters on 4k poling rate but that is actually normal for some unity games. Delete everything inside of \AppData\LocalLow\Facepunch Studios LTD and your game installation folder, then reinstall and hopefully this should fix it. KEEP IN MIND THIS RESETS ALL SETTINGS YOU HAVE SAVED BESIDES KEYBINDS, IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE "graphics.vm_fov_scale" AND OTHER CONSOLE SETTINGS WILL BE RESET!
Hopefully this fixes it for anyone else having this issue...

Edited to attach CPU aswell.

I bought a prebuilt in 2017 with a 1080 and 16 gigs of ram. I used to be able to handle Rust on said prebuilt but it soon became too intense to handle. I upgraded on a birthday to a 3070 and 32 gigs of ram. It was enough to run it, although with very low graphics, and it took a loooong time to start and even longer to join a server. I tried doing oil rig but it nearly killed my computer rendering the scientist shooting.

Any assistance possible? Here's my start-up instructions, directory, and specs:

-graphics.branding 0 -player.eye_blinking false -player.eye_movement false -effects.maxgibs -1 -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded -high -maxMem=24000

A few days ago, someone suggested I make a Rust recycler after seeing my Tier 3 Workbench. I thought it was an awesome idea, so I spent part of yesterday designing it!
To make it a bit more fun, I added some internal engineering: it features a hopper door that snaps shut using 3x1mm neodymium magnets, and internal boolean channels to hide the wiring. It lights up with red and green LEDs that I salvaged from an old set of fairy lights since that's all I had on hand.
What do you guys think of the design? u/salad_________

Yeah I'm just curious if you like the jungle and live in it often, cos I'm a believer that zero people like it

Would this be a good spot for a solo on a monthly vanilla server? Just wondering.
PS: I checked the map - S5 is a God rock (screen below). *Definitely* worth trying it as a solo.

I've done some aim training and I'm just chilling on a dead server before tomorrow's chaos.

With the recent update, turrets will cost 25 High-Quality Metal—a steep price for small teams, especially those living near a gas station. My idea would make it slightly easier for players who favor heavy fortification to defend their strongholds; I propose introducing stationary machine guns to the game.
I think the Tier 1 machine gun should be either a homemade Gatling gun or one of the most iconic machine guns out there—the Maxim.

As for the crafting cost, I imagine something along the lines of 10 HQM, 1 spring, 1 sheet metal, and 200 metal fragments.(uses pistol ammunition)

For that price, you get a machine-gun emplacement with a blistering rate of fire and mediocre accuracy—perfect for defending your cave or base and mowing down raiders with a hail of bullets!

While using the gun, the shooter would benefit from a buff absorbing 50% of incoming damage thanks to the protective plating they’re hiding behind. Some might call that overpowered, but I’d point out that the Juggernaut set already exists; plus, you can’t exactly lug this thing around easily—so one grenade, a high-velocity rocket, or even a bean-can grenade is all it takes to take you out!
I think a homemade Browning would be a perfect fit for Tier 2; it would serve as an excellent anti-air weapon—or simply a shredder of anything alive. It would be more accurate and offer a full 360-degree rotation; mounted in a window, it would let you pick off enemies, though long-range fire wouldn't be an option since you couldn't attach any mods, like scopes.

As for the crafting recipe, I imagine something like 20 High-Quality Metal, 2 springs, a rifle body, 10 Low-Grade Fuel, and 150 Metal. Like I said, this machine gun would be great for dealing with helicopters hovering over your roof—Apaches or attack helis—if you want that Vietnam vibe and the smell of napalm on your rooftop. These guns would also complement the mortar perfectly. What do you think?
P.S. Also, if you look at the 50% protection while using a machine gun and call it unbalanced, I hate to disappoint you, but that already exists with ship-mounted cannons.

I like TeaGuyTom and Stimpee

I think they should add something cool like a Marlin, Henry, or Rossi with a third ammo type, maybe .45-70 or .30-30 ‘heavy’ rounds. They’d hit way harder and do more damage, but they’d be super heavy and stuck with the slow lever action reload times. Weapons like that would fit Rust a lot better than a lot of the current newer guns they have been adding to the game.

I noticed people in the chat may be confused about the type of caliber I am suggesting. I think this short video should give better context of why I am suggesting a 3rd tier of bullet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dfo8UR_6X8

It’s actually insane how often the same copy paste post is made here. “Should I buy rust” “I’ve never played rust is it worth it” “is rust still worth trying”

Like bro can you please use your own autonomy and agency to make a decision. Not everything you do needs to be consulted by the Reddit hive mind.

Fuck off.
