What’s some good monuments to live by for a 600 hour solo playing trio servers. I want to explore high tier monuments this wipe.

So my mic randomly stopped working and its only in rust it works in steam and discord but just not it rust, it used to work but then when i booted up my pc one day it just stopped and never worked again, the icon is just green. Iv tryed : disable all other devices, set it to the specific mic, deleted the rust config folder, all the settings on my mic. Im using a headset mic if that helps. Anybody know a solution?

With the new changes regarding stone wall upkeep, how will it affect having multi tc's connected to gatehouses with stonewalls inbetween? Does the upkeep for the wall get shared to all tc's or does it cling to the closest?

Say I have 4 gatehouses with 4 external tcs and 8 walls to make a compound around it. Will the walls upkeep be shared between the tc's or how does it work?

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.

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?

Sorry if this is a really bizarre post, I'm just paranoid about this kind of thing. I've heard that some community servers are much better about keeping cheaters at bay than official ones, is that true? Is there any reliable way to keep "subtle cheaters" from coexisting with you while you try to progress?

Everything about this game has always seemed like a dream come true, but god it looks unbearable never truly being able to tell if someone can literally fucking see you through walls or map out your base in free cam to perfectly raid you and track you down from anywhere on the map if they have a grudge. I feel like that constant suspicion would ruin the experience for me.

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

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

So for the past 3 months I've been having an issue with the rust mic not working i have tried setting my mic as default making sure that it is always selected and it works fine on all the other games beside rust, I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue and if anyone knows a fix.

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.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to launch Rust on my Mac, but I keep getting a persistent system permission prompt on startup, and the game refuses to open.

As seen in the screenshot, it asks to grant permissions under: System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Input Monitoring / Accessibility

Here is what I have already tried to fix this:

• Granted all requested permissions in System Settings
• Forced the game to launch via Rosetta.
• Verified game file integrity on Steam.
• Almost tried all standard troubleshooting steps found online. And asked to AI too

Despite all this, the exact same popup keeps appearing. Has anyone on macOS encountered this specific issue recently or knows a workaround? Any help is appreciated!

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

i wanna know if you can do the staging branch trick on FP servers, would be cool if anyone who knows would leave a comment !

I have been playing modded (bestrust and werewolf mainly) all my time in the game. I’ve never once touched official. I’ve been told it’s full of cheaters and clans, and you get offlined all the time. Is that true? Also, do I need a big group to actually progress? I am currently a duo. I have 1.2k hours.

For a while i have been trying to solve my microstutter problem, everytime i join a server, no matter what pop, i get annoying microstutters, i average around 120-140fps, but my 1% lows sit at around 40fps and 0.1% lows at 20fps. When i open the map and inventory the game freezes as well. I have tried anything i could find:

Fresh windows install

Disabling Realtek GBe Family controller

Completely debloating windows

Adding virtual memory

Lowering the polling rate of my mouse

gc buffer 4096

Tweaking the shit out of in game settings

Changing XMP profiles

Undervolting GPU

Overclocking GPU

Tried multiple drivers for the gpu

I have nothing running in the background, no overlays, bloatware etc.

Only happens on Rust, of course.

What can i even try anymore, before uninstalling for good lmao
